of the Assembly chamber when Speaker

against heavy odds, and was c~ongratll-
| lated upon his victory.

votes for it. 1t then provided that base
ball and other healthful athletic sports
GOULD be engaged in in any municipality

them. The bill in this form was objected
TO by II. Stacy Smith. Clark and Bowden
of Essex, and Mckeag. of Middlesex.
Those who voted against the bill last
week, but changed Yesterday and voted
for it, were II. Stacy Smith. Clark and
Bowden, of Essex, and Mckeae and Von
Minden, of MiddleseX. The sixth vote
which dwell received was that of Roberts,
OF Essex, who was away when the bill
was defeated last week.
There was no discussion OF the measure
when IL. came up in the House. dwell
moved that the vote by which il was lost
last week be reconsidered and encouil-
tered no opposition. He then had the bill
put back upon second reading and his
amendment adopted. The iipal vote was
then taken without any preliminary argr.
ment. Those who had to oppose the bill
merely voted against it and did not try
to influence other members, The final

lFrom a STAFF correspondent

TRENTON, April THE House of
Assembly went on record, by a vote of
SO to "a, yesterday as favoring Sunday
baseball and other healthful athletic
sports upon the first day of the week.
under proper restrictions. 1t passed
the dwell bill, in its amended form,
which leaves it to the governing body
of each city to decide by ordinance
whether it will permit ''healthful ath-
letic sports on Sunday" There is also
a provision in the bill amending the
blue law so as to permit the sale of
ice cream on Sunday in any municipal
ity that by ordinance permits it. This
provision was insisted upon by As
semblyman Bowden, of Essex county,
for the benefit of the citizens of East
Orange. In East Orange the largest
caterer in the town has peer arrested
repeatedly for selling ice cream sum-
mer Sundays to hot and parched cit
liens. Bowden held out against the
bill until yesterday, when Dwell found
out that his main objection was that
he could not see why sports should be
permitted and 1t should be an offense
to sell Ice cream. Bowden voted for
the bill and for ice cream seven days
a week.
There was scarcely an assemblyman
who voted against the bill who did moi
say privately that he was opposed to
the blue laws In any form, but that he
dared not vote to amend them, because
of his fear of the church vote in his
community. One assemblyman said that
il he voted for the dwell bill they
would sing about him as a sinner and
pray for his redemption at the next
camp meeting. He said they had sung
about him in meetings before because
of his attitude on the other bills. and

The Payne Bill as Amended.

The Payne bill has been somewhat i'm
proved, from the consumers standpoint
by its rough passage through the House.
Coffee and tea are definitely on the free
list, so are petroleum and its products.
Two jokers affecting the lumber and the
cotton duties adversely TO iuportations
have been eliminated. the duty on crude
cocoa has been reduced, and several 9th
er minor concessions have been made 70
the consuming public. Hides remain on
The free list. but on the other hand free
lumber is hopelessly doomed. Those who
have been demanding free lumber say the
reduction in the lumber schedule will
avail the consumer nothing. Louisiana
rice planters are secured from the ter
ribIe menace OF Philippine rice. tobacco
duties are boosted TO the satisfaction Of
both Virginia and Connecticut. Mr.. Taw-
ney has been placated in the matter OF
barley. and divers other protective du-
ties have been added.
We see no reason, on account OF these
changes. to alter our original opinion that
the bill is a highly protective measure.
