COMMUTERS LEAGUE
CONDEMNS GOVERNOR

Governor Forts failure to CALI a
special session of the Legislature in
order that the Public Utilities Com
mission might be vested with sufficient
authority TO give the commuters relief
was strongly censured at n conference
of the officers OF the Commuters
League of New Jersey. held last night
at the East Orange home Of Howard
Marshall. president of the league. The
Essex assemblyman who aided in limit
ing the power Of the state commission
were also heavily scored.

joyful mood thar the balance of my

had no idea that we might win the
fight. This seemed to me only n fair
start In n long race. 1. however,, most
earnestly suggest that this iengue pro-
ceed to ascertain the records of the
men who prevented legislation In favor
of the people at the last session of the
Legislature. so that definite action may
be taken TO prevent their misrepresent-
Ing In public office the people In the
future."
The statement attributed to Chair
man Knapp, Of the Interstate Com

Washington. that in his personal opln-
ion the commission was without power
to control Communication rates, brough.
forth much wrath upon Governor Fort
for making it necessary to carry the
case of the people without the State
when a special session of the Legisla-
ture would have given the state COM
mission the power to afford relief,
This statement of Chairman Knapp
would seem to be in direct contradic-

VERDICT AGAINST BOY
MAY BE SET ASIDE,

A rule to show cause why the verdici
for $1,000 returned Wednesday in favor
of David Marshall. jr., : years old,
against 1S-year-cld Benjamin Effinger
should not he set aside was granted
today by Judge tieisley, in the Circuit
Court. The rule vas granted on mo-
ton by Lawyer Harry Campton, n ii
is returnable on Thursday. Young
Marshall claims that about two years
ago he and Efinger were playing in
trent of st. Michael's Parochial School,
in Bolleville avenue, the Efinger boy
threw a stone at him, striking his
head. As a result OF the blow he lost
tho sight of n eye. It is claimed by
the opposing counsel that the damages
are excessive.

GOVERNOR FORT ATTACKED
FOR NOT CALLING SESSION

Holly declaring that Governor Fort
lacked COURAGE to call a special SEES
sion OF the Legislature to take action
on the proposed increase of railroad
rates. and charging that the Essex as
semblymen sat like dummies, the
speakers at the East Orange Demo-
cratic meeting in Lang's Hall, on Main
street, last night, were enthusiastically
applauded. The meeting was largely
attended. senator Harry Y. Osborne
was the principal speaker.
The commuters who are now ZIP In
arms all over the State against the
proposed action of the railroads were
also severely criticised by Soine of the
speakers for their lack OF interest dur
ing the last session of the Legislature
while attempts were being made to in
|sert a ~rate-making clause into the bill
under which the Public Utility Com
mission will come INTO power July 4.
aTbe only manly aud proper thing
10 d. liz 10 call n special session of the
LcE,s,aturc,' said senator Osborne,
land IL wouldn't take the Legislature
tyyenty-four hours 10 put n rate-nnk-
Ing clause in the public utility bill.
II am glad that the rates have beer
raised. All during the last session OF
the Legislature others and l tried to
have the ~rate-making clause inserted
in the bill, out we could set no sup
port from the commuters. They
wouldn't wake up, but now since their
pocket has been touched there is a
row."
.'Men with backbone are needed to
call g special session of the Legis-
%lature,'' said James Mylod, of Glen
Ridge. 1T seems that the Els.
sex members of the last Leg
islature are sitting down like dunn
mics, instead of urging the calling of a
| special session. The people want the
Governor to come out Inc say where
| he stands. The commuters are much to
be blamed for the conditions. They
know all about a man who stole q
2-cent stamp in New York, but they
read little about the affairs of their owr
State
Julian Gregory. of East Orange, nee
a candidate for State Senator, delivered
a hot speech against the railroads.
"There are men III East Orange who
came over from New York after voting
the Tammany ticket all the time he
said. "They looked over the field anc
decided to vote the Republican ticket
and now they are holding Office as Re
publicans."
The speaker further criticised thu
kind of mel who had been sent To tht
Legislature in recent years, and sax
that they had the interest of the rail
roads at heart and not that of theii
constituents. Walter /. Mccoy, o
South Orange. charged that the Repub-
lican Assembly candidates In the pas
had put themselves up at auction fol
the highest bidder.

of whom are commuters, adopted, the
following resolutions:
Whereas. The railroads serving
Montclair have announced considerable
advances in the rates for Communication

and New York. and,

torney-General Wickersham,r said Mr..
Marshall. 1.-THE Commuters League
has relied upon the judgment of Gov
ernor Fort in respect to the power of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and We believed hat the delay which
ensued at Trenton in taking the mat
ter up at Washington was probably de-
Tended on the ground that there could
be 10 question as to the jurisdiction of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and, therefore, this league, relying upon
Governor Forts ability as a lawyer, did
not add anything to their resolutions
presented at the massmeeting on June
II, calling for immediate action on the
part of Governor Fort in calling a
special session of the Legislature to
enact a law empowering the Public
Utilities Commission of New Jersey to
regulate railroad rates.
I'VE are very much disappointed at
the delay in Yrcpton, and we feel 1t
has led us into defeat. We have but
one slender hope left, and that Is that
when the Governor reads of the defeat
in Washington he will Immediately re-
convene the state Legislature
Thomas r. Creole, q personal friend
of the Governor, said:
1T is a matter of the keenest per-
sonal disa ppointment to me, insomueh
as | was responsible for bringing the
Governor into our closest confidence, as
we did not solicit the Governors aid in
this league, because it was our inten-
ton to have no State officers in our or
g~anization, but upon the presentation
of a personal letter from the Governor
to the league wherein he asked 20 be
allowed TO cooperate in any way, shape
or form he could 1t was then at my re-
quest that the league consented TO
make an exception in his case.

erirr n period of about twenty years
we co,iid count upon the assistance Of
fered, which now appears to hnve
hcen So dilntory that II leaves uS Mt
the eleventh hour with very little hope
of relief"
William Palmer also had something
to saya We are not unmindful of the
fact thai we have heard nothing from
the Governor in response to our tele-
grams urging quick action, and 1t was
not until we called him up on the
phone at II o'clock on the night OF
June 81 that we received any assur-
ance of action on his part in our
behalf"

h Knapp said.

In giving his opinion, Mr.. Knapp,
chairman of the Federal Commission,
"There will be M beneht to your
people if the commission makes an or
der which is Immediately enjoined by
the courts. Speaking for myself, and
not for my colleagues, I have grave
doubt as to the jurisdiction of the COM
mission over communication rates.
THE presumption is that there is a
reasonable rate for everybody, whether
the person travels nee a year or every
day. II the railroad makes a special
rate lower than this regular and rea-
sonable rate it is not prohibited"

What we're the children to do this
Fourth Of July when there were to be
no frecrackers and torpedoes?
Dickies mamma had puzzled over
the question for long time. At last
she thought of a good plan and told
it to Dickie's papa, but she only told
Dickie to invite all his little friends to
come 10 Fishing Party on the after
noon OF the Fourth.
The time came for the party. and
when all the guests had arrived
Dickie's mamma took them out on the
big shady back lawn. There stood two
big tubs OF water in which foatcd
queer little wooden fish with holes In
their loses. Each fish had different
lumber on its eide. Mamma gave each
child o wee Ash pole with line and
hook. telling them to catch Ash.
Dicky caught one the very first
thing, and finally. after all the other
children had caught some, his mamma
came out of the house carrying a
