AFTER many days of conferences
and negotiations the New Idea follow
ers in New Jersey, that is, the leaders
of this faction, have decided to sup
port Representative Charles N. Fow-
Ter for United States Senator to sue
coed John Kean, and within the next
fortnight they will begin an aggressive
campaign, with Mr.. Fowler as one OF
their chief speakers. This does not
mean, however, that Mr.. Fowler will
abandon his campaign to secure
a denomination for Congress at the
coming Republican primaries. On
the contrary, the Fifth District Rep
resentative says he is in the race to
stay, as the voters of Union, Morris
and Warren counties, which comprise
the district, will find out before pri-
mary day. Mr.. Fowler would make
no comment on the purposed action OF
the New Idea men when asked about
it. Neither would he discuss the can
didacy Of Judge William n. Runyon,
who few days ago announced himself
as a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress In opposition
to Mr.. Fowler. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Judge Runyon's candidacy
has caused dismay in the Fowler camp,
and the latter's friends are far from
being in the optimistic mood that pre-
vailed previous to the judges an
nouncement. Mr.. Runyon has large
following among the Republicans of
Union, in which county Mr.. Fowler
also lives. He has heretofore been
looked upon as Fowler man, and
there was considerable surprise when
he announced his intention of oppos-
ing Mr.. Fowler.

PUBLIC UTILITY Law.

The law changing the Railroad Com
mission to Public Utilities Commits
sion became operative on Monday.
This act adds to the powers of the
Board the supervision of all express,
street railway, traction, canal, SUBJ
way, pipe line, gas, electric light, heat
and power, water, sewer, telephone,
telegraph or other corporation, asso-
citation or joint stock company oper-
ating within this State for public use
under privileges granted by the State
or by any municipality. This is very
broad increase of power in addition to
that already conferred on the Railroad
Commission. This power includes
general supervision and authority to
require obedience to all laws relating
to public utilities and to enforce the
performance of the duties imposed up
on public utility corporations to make
them furnish safe and adequate SER
vice.
1t is probable that judicial con-
struction OF language of the act will
be required before the corporations
will admit of It's full scope, but power
to force obedience to the laws, to per-
form the services required and to give
safe and adequate service can be con-
strued $50 that the corporation man.
ayers will have little scope for action
outside of the rules of the Board. The
utility companies must get the APP
proval of the Board before any new
stock or bonds may be issued, and all
new franchises granted by municipal
tiles must also be approved Any diff
kferences between companies and muni-
CAPABILITIES are to be appealed to the
Board. There is one clause that seems
to favor the corporations, and that is
the abolition of official deadheadS.
The act provides that 70 company
shall hereafter give, grant or bestow
upon any local. municipal or county
official any discrimination, gratuity or
free service whatsoever. Only uni
formed public officials shall ride free
in trolley cars. This limits the free
rides to firemen and policemen, so far
as the trolleys are concerned.

THE petition by the Woman Town
Improvement association to the board
OF aldermen in regard to the town s
taking up the matter of the public
disposal of garbage, is an endorsement
Of the recommendation of the board
OF health made to the town authori-
ties at the beginning of the year, and
is embodied in the printed report in
the year book for 1910. 1t is a matter
of considerable Importance, but under
the present charter of the town there
is no legal way by which the town can
assume the expense of garbage dis
posal. 1t also calls attention to the
fact that Morristown has outgrown
its present system of government and
should have a second-class city char
ter, under which the town could be
run without the questionable subter-
fuges now prevailing. If the ladies
interested would take up this matter
and win over the men of their families
and near acquaintance there would
be a public sentiment created that
would bring about this desirable re
suit the coming winter. To improve
the town as is desired by the ladies'
will cost money and additional taxes,
but it is worth while and now is
good time to start right, by having a
proper chapcer for the town.

FORMER GOVERNOR: MURPHY is OF
the impression that people are taking
his remarks at State Treasurer Voor-
hees' dinner as an intimation that he
has Withdrawn from the Senatorial
contest, and has published a state
ment in semi-humorous vein intend
ed to convince whom it may concern
that he really thinks he has chance
to get John Kean's JOB. He says he
will congratulate the winner in the
contest and expects to do it while
looking in the glass. He has a good
word to say for each Of his competitors
and even promises to say some nice
things about Gov. Stokes. Mr.. Muir
ply says he will not say anything bad
about the candidates for the Senator
ship.

The justest complaint which may be
laid at the door of the modern newspa-
pers seems to me its invasion Of the
home, and the conversion OF its re-
porters into detectives. Pretending
to be the defender of liberty, it too
often is the assailant Of private right.
Each daily issue should indeed aim to
be the history of yesterday, but 1t
should be clean as well as truthful,
and as we seek in our usual walks and
ways to avoid that which is nasty and
CHASTITY, so should we, In the nara
tion of scandal andcrime, guard equal
ly against exaggeration and prurlency
nor be ashamed to suppress that which
may be too vile to tell. Henry Wat
! terson, inAtlsntic.

RLrUNp OF INHERITANCE TAX

The court Of errors and appeals on
Friday rendered a decision Affecting
the validity Of the state collateral in
heritance tax that is calculated to re-
duce the revenues from that source.
Not only that, but it will, it is said,
call for the restitution of about a
quarter million dollars Of inheritance
taxes that are held to have been IL
legally collected by the comptroller
and paid into the state treasury. The
revenue from the collateral inherit
ance tax law last year exceeded $685.
600, which indicated vigilance and in
dustry upon the part of the comp
troller's Office that were highly COM
mendable. 1t is unpleasant to have
to refund taxes under ordinary circum-
stances, but in the case decided last
week the courts ruling declaring the
assessments to be unjust calls for JUS
tice being done, and that ought to be
a pleasure to the state as we'll as to
the heirs interested in the estate
wrongfully assessed.

Trenton and New
|. York Teams on
May 81.
IN BASKETBALL

A real professional game of
basketball, between professional
teams and with professional refe-
rees will be played in the Auditorium
next Tuesday night, May 81. The
contest is between the CoIonials, of
New York, and the lockwood Five,
of Trenton, two OF the best known
and fastest aggregatfons now play
ing anywhere in the east.
While the basketball season is
over, the Auditorium management
considered it best to wind up its
season with a good attraction to
demonstrate to local sport followers
what big game looks like. The
lockwood team, the independent
travelling champions of the east, un-
der the name of the Owl Wanderers,
were to. have met the Kingwood
Wanderers, but the latter club would
not COME through.
The game arranged between the
Colonials and the Rockwoods should
be hummer. These clubs have
been anxious to meet since their last
encounter in February. Until this
time agreements could not be reach
ed. as both refused to play on the
others court. This game will decide
the eastern championship among
professional basketball teams, and
after that there is a probability of a
series of three games being played
in this city.
A Philadelphia referee will ofici-
ate here and there will be roller
skating before and after the game.
In the course of a week or so these
clubs will leave for their respective
summer positions. The Rockwoods
will be stationed on Young's pier, at
Atlantic City, and the Colonials will
be the star attraction at Stauchs 8
pavilion at Coney Island the coming
summer season.

Sharks, Eggs.

The eggs Of fishes are usually small
soft and inconspicuous The most re-
ntarkabIe point about them is the ex-
traordinary number laid by the indl-
yidual. A single cod lays as many as
100000 eggs. Sharks lay eggs which
are large In size. few as to numbers
and are deposited singly instead OF IN
masses. These eggs consist Of dark
eolorcd leathery envelope and are
usually adorned with frills, horns or
long twisted tendrlls. These append
ages serve the purpose Of keeping
the egg case supported among the
branches of seaweeds, thus preserving
the embryo from the damage 1t would
sustain were the egg carried htther
and thither by the waves.-Scientifie
