"If I mistake not we shall have be-
fore us at this session problems of far
reaching import on whose correct olu
ton will depend in no small measure,
not only the material progress of our
State, but the well-being and prosperity
of it's citizens. Let us approach their
solution with minds devoid of partisan
and filed with a determination to
that, md that only. which shall best

PARTY WRANGLE
ON OPENING DAY
Of LEGISLATURE
Democrats Want Bills Taken
from Committees by Writ
ten Petition.
REPUBLICANS CAN'T
SEE IT THAT WAY
Probable that the Old Rules Will
Be in Force This
Year.

TRENTON. Jan. 12.-At the call of
Senator William C. Gebhardt, of Hunt
erdon, leader of the minority in the
Senate, the Democratic members of the
Legislature, met in joint conference
just before noon today and decided to
devote themselves at the initial session
of both branches to an effort to have
a rule adopted requiring committees to
give up bills In their possession on the
written petition of a percentage of
members.
In the House the rule calling for a
committee report on any bill wanted
by fifteen members as adopted last year
through the efforts of New Idea Repub-
licans and the Democrats, will be advo-
Gated. A similar rule prepared by Mr..
Gebhardt will be offered in the Senate.
The House minority is five less than
last veal but the minority is encour-
aged when the tidal wave of the last
presidential year is recalled. The Senate
minority musters eight. an increase of
one over last year, despite the Republic
can sweep of last November.
When the Republican leaders heard
of the Democratic plan to make a fight
on rules the word was passed that as
a compromise the rules Of last year
should be put through with n change,
the amendment being that committees
should be required to report upon bills
demanded by twenty petitioners, in
stead of fifteen.
The Republican senators were not in
clined to give a point, and it was an
nounced before the organization that
the Senate rules of last year would be
adopted, leaving to the committees of
hat branch of the Legislature the abb
solute say as to the fate of bills in their
keeping.
1t was an unusual thing to have the
initial day of the session disturbed by
an argument.

STILL FINDING
VICTIMS ALIVE
IN QUAKE RUINS
Several Thousands OF Soldiers
Put to the Work of
Rescue.

ROME, Jan. 1.-THE fact that living
persons still are being rescued from
the ruins of Messina and Reggie has
decided the authorities to continue the
excavations of the wreckage, and sew
eral thousand soldiers are today en-
ployed in this work who otherwise
would be detailed to help in the distri-
button of the necessaries of life for the
survivors.
In most cases those now being
brought out alive were imprisoned in
rooms and cellars not completely de-
m%olished, and their situation was such
that they could get a hold of some little
nourishment.

CLINTON HILL TO
FIGHT SHY Of
OLD BLUE LAWS
Improvement Association Finds
II Would Stir Up Trouble by
Enforcing Ancient Acts.

The Clinton Hill Improvement Assoc
citation decided last night, after receiv-
ing an opinion from the law committee,
that it didn't want to enforce the old
blue laws covering Sunday closing of
stores, after all. The association had
previously taken the matter up and re-
quested the committee to advise them.
Frederic L. Johnson, chairman of the
committee, reported that it WOULD be
impossible to enforce one law without
enforcing the entire schedule. Thus
those pursuits now recognized as neces-
sary and legitimate on Sunday would
come under the ban. he said.
The question of receiving women as
members was decided in the negative,
on the application of Mrs. Joseph 3.
Sanford, a property owner in Clinton
avenue.
