Gov. Fort Threatenes Law Makers.

Governor Fort sent special mes
sage to the Legislature Tuesday in
which he declared that if the law
makers adjourned sine die without en-
acting his reform election laws he
would reconvene both houses in spec
ial session.
The bills referred to are those in
spired by the report Of the Governors
special commission appointed under
a conc urrent resolution passed last
year to revise existing statutes. In
its report the commission suggested
two bills, one revising the primary act
and the other covering the general
election laws of the State. Governor
Fort said the people will rule, and he
warned the Legislature that the wise
course is to do something toward OBJ
tanning the reforms which the public
demand.
The primary law which the Cover
nor wants and which the commission
reported adopts the direct primary
system for all State and county Off
Gals, and puts primary elections I'M
der strict legal regulations, including
registration day prior to the date for
the primary election.
BY vote of to As the House kill
ed the McKeag bill, terminating the
terms Of all county superintendent OF
schools now In Office.

f. S. Katzenbach, Jrs All Right.

An alleged attempt to cast discredit
upon former Mayor Frank s. Katzen-
bach, Jr., for his official and private
acts while chief executive of Trenton
has proved futile, because the Finance
Committee of Common Council at it's
meeting in the City Hall last week
carefully considered the official pro-
ceedings in connection with the grant
ing of franchise to the New Jersey
and Pennsylvania Traction Company,
and decided that there was no need
for further investigation.
The committee which is composed of
Swartz, Mayors, Mitchell and Large
and one Democrat-Councilm John
T. McClain-examined the minutes of
Common Council proceeding following
ing the granting of the franchise, and
also examined the company's agree
ment with the city and the city ordin-
ance granting the franchise. City
Solicitor Charles E. Bird also took
part in the examination, and at the
conclusion of it advised the committee
that the ordinance and agreement are
binding upon the company, and that
there was no further need to investi-
gate the matter.
Councilman Clinton j. Swartz, chair
|
man of the Finance committee, was
interviewed by a True American re-
porter after the meeting and said:
eve decided that the proceedings
leading up to and following the grant
ing of the franchise were open and
aboveboard in every particular. The
minutes of Council relating to the
matter are public records, and our
examination of them, with other data
convinced us that there was no need
| for a further investigation. Solicitor
Bird decided that both the agreement
Igand the ordinance are valid, and our
| investigation tonight demonstrated
that there is nothing in the matter to
reflect discredit on anybody. If there
had been anything wrongful in Mr..
Katzenbach's act as Mayor, the rec
ords would have shown it,

"a taxpaying farmer of Cape May
county figures up from the published
report of county expenditures that the
salary system as applied to the Sher-
ifs and Surrogate's offices is more ex
pensive than the fee system. 1t costs
the county $4,000 for salaries in the
Surrogate's Office, while the collec-
lions amounted to $1,796. However,
the fact that two men are employed to
do the work that one did under the old
system explains why the office is not
self-supporting. If the offices were
run economically they would pay their
way" [Post-Telegram.
He isn't the only taxpayer who has
been figuring on that subject. A tax
payer who had figured, told us the
other day that the Surrogate's office
was the only one of the three county
offices here that was operated with
the same help under the salary as
under the fee system, both the others
having increased the working force
as soon as their pay did not suffer
thereby. Can this be true, gentlemen?

Dearness Cannt be Cured

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

Easy Way to Buy Clothing.

The attention of our readers is di-
rected in this issue to an announce
ment from the Gately & Hurley Co.
store, of Camden, in which is solved
the problem of how to dress season
ably and in fashion even without the
ready money. This house offers to
clothe the entire family with the new
est and best in spring and summer
wearing apparel--ladies' and misses
tailor-made suits, skirts, waists and
overcoats and rain-coats- the
least possible cost and with a positive
guarantee back of each sale. Upon
request from any reader, the Gately
& Hurley store will mail very hand
some catalogue showing samples of
materials that go into the mems suits
at popular prices. 1t will also show
illustrations of how stylishly the men
and women look in the Gately & Hur-
ley clothing. This booklet will show
that it will be just as easy to order the
wearing apparel by mail in case any
cannot find it convenient, to visit the
store in Camden in person, and it
offers the opportunity of a saving of
33 per cent. under Philadelphia prices
on account of the fact that the Camden
firm own their own buildings and
have no big rentals and other heavy
expenses to pay as stores do in Phila-
delphia. Incidentally it speaks of the
fact that everything necessary to fur
nish the home complete can also be
obtained with the same attractive
prices and the same guarantee back
of every sale.
The Gately & Hurley store is one
of the largest in New Jersey and al
ready has an immense trade in most
of the South Jersey towns.

Local Option Bill win Come to Vote.

The Plummer local option bill will
not be throttled in committee this
year. At a caucus Of the Republican
Senators Monday night the local op-
ton question was discussed, and it
was decided to request the judici airy
committee to report the bill without
recommendations
The bill will be reported by Major
ity Leader Frelinghuysen some day
this week, and put on the calendar
for discussion. The general impress
sion is that it will not pass the Senate.
Nevertheless, all the Senators are re-
received many petitions in favor of
the bill, and strong influences are at
work to prevent it's defeat.

MERRICK COUNTY rs PEACEFUL
No Criminal Cases and No Use for
Court .rury.

CENTRAL CITY. Neb.. April @.-(spo-
cial)-Perhaps for the first time in the
history of the county the district court
will convene for a regular jury term with
out. a jury panel in attendance, the reason
being that there are no cases on the docket
TO be tried which will require the attend
ance Of a jury. Judge Thomas came up
from Columbus to call the docket over and
set the cases for trial, but he found that
there were none demanding jury trial and
hence ordered that the members of the
regular panel, who had already been sum-
mohed, need not appear and ordered notice
given to that effect.
Merrick county can boast that there is
not a single criminal case on the docket
for the May term and there are only nine
teen civil cases listed. or these several
are merely cases in which there is a peace
full action for the ~quieting OF title to land
or matters which are purely friendly
actions for the settlement Of estates. There
is only one divorce case on the docket,
that OF Lillian Wooster against Charles
Wooster, and It is not likely that this will
come to trial this year.
