SENATOR GEORGE 8. SII1zER.
Senator George S. Silzer gave an
interesting and instructive talk to
the Mems Society In the Presbyterian
chapel last night on How Laws Are
Made" The speaker was introduced
by President Roy Minton, who made
a few remarks about the national and
state governments. Mr.. Silzer's talk
was very entertaining and when he
concluded the society applauded and
rendered him rising vote of thanks.
He answered a number of questions
asked by the members and exhibited
some copies OF senate and house
bills.
The senator spoke about the inn
portance of public questions and mat
ters pertaining to the state govern
ment. He said that so little interest
is taken at times that 1t is wonder
that people are able to cast their
votes on election day. He added that
people are often prejudiced by a
mans one act and vote accordingly
on election day. AS an illustration,
the senator told how certain man
was displeased because he (Mr. Sill
zer) voted for the Gunner's License
Bill, which made him pay 81 in order
to hunt, and voted against the sena-
tor for that reason on election day.
Speaking about, "Who makes the
laws?" the senator said it was gem
erally supposed that the people did.
but that In congress a minority con-
trolled things. He added that to a
certain degree in the New Jersey
Legislature eight or ten men con-
trolled matters and that the others
followed like a lot of sheep He
added that he did not say this in an
Offensive manner He said the legis-
lature was divided into two bodies,
the assembly, commonly called the
house, and the senate. In the house,

Them for Alleged Omis-
siOns and Commissions.
THE MILK QUESTIONS
Nuisances 10 Be Acted Upon
--Gagbage Trouble Is Dis
cussed at Board Meeting.

The deputy health Inspectors came
IN Tor censure at the monthly meet
ing OF the Board of Health last
night. They were criticized for not
attending the sessions of the sanita-
tlon committee Monday nights and
| also for neglecting to attend many
monthly sessions of the board. Nei-
ther the deputies nor the health
oilcer were present and the board
seemed wrought up. The deputies
were criticized for alleged hiring of
rigs without the consent of the sup
ply committee and for not properly
attending to their duties. This was
especially said regarding one of the
inspectors.
Deputy Inspector Frost will be
asked to explain his action In pass
ing upon improvements on property
owned by w. L. Farroat at. 499
Sayre avenue, when they were said
to be directly in violation of the
boards code. He will be communi-
Gated with and asked to make a
written statement. Chairman Hem
derson said that the same conditions
prevail about the complaint against
Samuel Carlton in Hartford street
and therefore, inasmuch as the
board does not know where 1t stands,
1t hesitates in instituting legal ac-
tion against Mr. Carlton.
Chairman A. P. Kennedy, of the
supply committee, presented bills
from liverymen for four months
carriage hire, amounting to S144.
One month of that was with the
boards consent, but then the deputy
inspectors were cautioned NOT to
hire rigs unless they had the sane
tion of the chairman Of the commit
tee. Nevertheless, It is declared.
rigs were hired for three months
thereafter, until Chairman Kennedy.
at an expense OF $275, purchased an
outfit complete, with a wagon, horse,
blanket, whip, etc. Commissioner
Grieve moved to approve Mr.. Ken
nedy's report regarding the purchase
and Justus Kaletsch. the newly-ap-
pointed commissioner. performed his
first action in. the board by second
ing the motion. The bills from
Iiyerymen were laid over.
Milk Dealers.
The deputies came In for further
criticism when the milk question
arose later. 1T was charged that
commissioners have seen ten or
twelve milk vehicles not bearing tha
regulation license number when
deputy inspectors out every day FOR
the purpose OF detecting such viola
tions do not, Ii is alleged. report

Last week defaming circular letters
were distributed, attacking Father

Louis De Stephano, who waived. a
hearing and furnished $1,000 bail

distribute the circulars and also had
one Of them posted in the window of
his shop.

BLAME SPRING
FOR ACCIDENT
Railroad Commission Makes
Report on the Fatal Crash
in Jersey City.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS
sgsctaI q EAs HYRNfNa NRRa


Trenton. Dec. S:-The killing OF
four persons and the injuring of
forty others was due to defective
spring in the electro-pneumatic ma
chine controlling the interlocking
switches and located in "RU' tower
near the scene of the wreck. This
was the finding made public today
by the State Railroad Commission
after an exhaustive Investigation Of
the recent Incident at Jersey CITY.
The finding Was In the form Of re-
port which contained several recom-
mendatlons designed to prevent a
repetition of such catastrophe.
The boards suggestions were In
effect that springs of the type used
in the tower switch mechanism he
strengthened; that repairman In
charge of the machines be provided
with instruments FOR the accurate
measurement or the openings be-
tween springs and their contact
points; that complete tests of the
machines be made at regular inter-
walls; that daily inspections be made
and written reports in detail filed
with the company; and that such
other and further measures be ia
ken by the company as may be nee
essary to prevent a failure OF this
machine and its connections, making
II impossible to clear the signal when
the block is not clear and the
switches in the proper position.
The report refers to the fact that a
similar faulty spring was discovered
in one Of the switch towers In this
city last summer, but the fault was
corrected IN time to prevent an ac-
