Mrs. James McGrath. who had

ing a fall down stairs at her home
on Sunday, January 8. No bones
were broken by the accident, but
Mrs. McGrath suffered considerably
from bruises and shock. She had
almost entirely recovered from the
effects, but it is thought that brood
ing over her injuries caused death.

Busy Session of the Legis-
lature Expected Tonight
Introduce Many Bills.
ONE FOR DISTRIBUTION
OF THE SCHOOL MONEY
Much Interest Manifested in
the Way Governor Will
Solve Financial Problem.

Trenton, Jan. 1s:-with the session
tonight the legislative work commences
in earnest, and it will be then told
whether or no the legislators have taken
to heart the words of Speaker Prince
about doing work in the early part Of
the session that there be no more hurry
times at the close of the session.
One of the first bills in this evening
viii be that of Senator Leavitt, of this
county, giving permission to the state
comptroller to distribute the receipts
from the tax on main stem railroad
property to the various municipalities.
AS the matter now stands he cannot
make distribution until the whole
amount has been paid in. Legislation
has held up these taxes but now they
are coming in, and while $4,000 Of
about $2,500,000 is still unpaid, the
whole amount in hand must lie idle un-
til there is legislative relief from the
law which retains this money in the
state treasury until 1t has all been col
lected.
OF course the main thing this week
will be the financial message of Govern
or Fort. He had intended having that
ready for transmission this evening, but
it will not be presented until tomorrow
morning.
How the governor will solve this mat
ter does not appear. 1t is admitted
that more money must come to the state
for state uses, and SO far the only sug-
gestion Of source for getting these
moneys is to take them away from the
moneys going to the school funds from
the increased taxes from the railroads.
1t is possible that the governor will tell
m what way the state can economize,
I it no facts have as yet been presented
that economy Is to be aimed at as far
as reducing the expenses Of things now
authorized are concerned.
The test vote last week shows that
the regulars are in control of things,
and with such margin that insures the
passage of real reform measures and
the rejection Of those measures aimed
to catch the votes of the thoughtiess in
government.

Special TO the EVENING REWh
New Brunswick, Jan. 1S:-Paul
Holas, accused of killing Mike Turek
with a clothes pole IN Perth Amboy
some time ago, was arraigned IN
court this morning His counsel, h.
B. Cook, stated that there was some
question as to whether Holas was
guilty of first degree murder, but
that he was willing to plead guilty to
second degree murder. In making
the statement the counsel said that
Holas was defending his mother at
the time he made the assault.
Prosecutor Berdine said that Holas
had been in court before on another
charge and that he did not believe
the fellow was defending his mother.
However, he said he was willing to
accept the pleea.
The court thereupon sentenced
Holas to seven years in state prison.
1t will be remembered that imme-
diately after killing the man, Holas
made his escape and was captured in
the house of a friend On Staten
Island.

Traction Company, new trolley sys-

amount of interest throughout this
section of the state. The general
opinion is that the company will have
one of the best paying lines in the
country. Although the route is COM
paratively short, 1t taps one of the
fastest growing sections in the east
and will fill long-felt want.
The fact that it affords an outlet
for Roosevelt, the borough on Staten

alone justified the building of the
road. In this city the section tapped

people now living there have a long
walk to reach the business section Of
the city.
Charles A.. Trimble, an Elizabeth
lawyer, who, as told in the EVENING
NEWS Saturday, is one of the incor-
porators of the company, said today
that the road would be an independ-
ent line and that 1t was an assured
thing. He said that the traction
company proper would be capitalized
at $1,000,000. The company incor-
porated Saturday was only the devel-
opment company as stated in the

the traction company will be filed in
a few days.
Mr.. Trimble further declared that
1t was the intention of the concern to
make the fare between this city and
Elizabeth thirty cents. He said he
expected that the cars would be run

FIRE ALARM AND LIGHTS TOO
Beautiful Winter Scenes Are Wrought
Walking a Slippery Proposition
Today --bIaCkSmiths BuSv.

A binding snow storm which com
menced shortly before clock Satur-
day afternoon and turned into freez-
ing rain" early yesterday morning, did
considerable damage in this vicinity.
The snow gathered rapidly Saturday
night and famed by a biting wind,
made.it decidedly unpleasant for pedes-
trians. Little drifts formed and there
was every prospect, apparently, of sew
eral feet of snow Sunday morning.
The temperature, however, started to
rise early yesterday morning and the
falling fakes were converted into a
fine rain. The temperature kept chang
ing and when it dropped again, the rain
froze and covered everything with a
thin layer of ice. Telephone, telegraph,
electric light and trolley wires were
soon coated and as it got heavier the
wires, unaccustomed to the increased
weight, fell in profusion about the city.
1t continued to rain all day yesterday
and likewise the Icy coating on the
ground wires and other things got
thicker. More wires fell yesterday and
this morning there was additional
trouble.
Many telephone wires, it was stated
by the chief in the local Office this morn
ing, are down all over the city. The
out of town service, he said, was fair,
and connection with this city and New
York is all right. A number of gangs
of linemen are at work and it is ex-
pected that the system will be in order
again by tomorrow. There is but lit
tie trouble, the wire chief says, with

exercise his or her lungs almost to their
full capacity in order to be heard at

A TROPHY FOR
CLASS GAMES
The Class of 1905 Presents
a Silver Loving Cup to the
High School Today.
} FOR BASEBALL SERIES

A silver loving cup, from the
Glass of 1905, was presented to the
under graduates of the high school
this morning.
Accompanying the cup was a let
ter from the president of the class,
James Grieve, in which he stated
that the purpose of the cup was to
give an incentive to interclass ath-
letics, especially baseball. A series
of 1nterclass baseball games will be
played each year and the winning
class at the end of each season will
have its numerals engraved on the
cup. The first series was played last
season and the class of 1909 was
victorious and will therefore have
its numerals engraved first on the
trophy
There was keen rivalry between
the classes, which has been in
creased ten-fold since the cup has
been put up as a prize.
