LEGISLATORS IN
AN UGLY MOOD
Do Not Like to Be Talked
About.
GOVERNOR CENSURED
Sunday Base Ball Bill Passes the
House-McAllister's Deer Bill
Passes the Senate.

Trenton, April 5-Senators angry
over charges Of Governor Fort that
corrupt lobbies were maintained in
Washington, Albany and Trenton and
that men who present bills here in the
interest of the people find it almost
impossible to get such measures out of
committees, held an executive session
late last night which continued long
after midnight. Many unkind things
were said about the executive as we'll
as about certain newspapers in the
upper part of the State which have
hinted at bribery in connection with
certain bills.
In the early morning hours the
Senate adjourned without reaching any
definite conclusion. They resumed
their executive session at II O'Clock
this morning and the Governor again
came in for a large share of harsh
criticism.
Finally it was resolved that COM
mittee be appointed to consider the
entire matter. President Frelinghuy
sen named as the committee Messrs.
Bradley. Prince. Minch and Fielder.
Governor Fort left the State House
at o'clock for his home in East
Orange before the committee had an
opportunity to corfer with him. Prior
to his departure the Governor said
that he would stand by every word he
had uttered in his Saturday night
address, and that he was likely to
make several more similar speeches
before the close of the next campaign.
To night the Senators were in a
more amiable mood toward the
executive and the belief prevailed that
the matter would be dropped.
The House this afternoon by vote
OF 80 to % passed the OlweU bill per-
mitting Sunday base ball. golf and
other sports in municipalities the
governing bodies of which pass ordi-
nances allowing the sport on that day.
The vote in favor of Sunday tase
ball was cast by the ~ members from
Hudson county, all Democrats; II from
Essex, all Republicans; five from
Passaic, Republicans; three from
Middlesex, Democrats. and one from
Atlantic Republican. Colonel Edge,
rof Atlantic City. was the only member
from South Jersey who voted for the
bill. The entire membership OF the

THE LEAGUES
NEW ACQUISITION
Have Purchased the Albert
Conover Property.
FOR BIGGER BR|DGETON
Looks as if Something Was Doing
by the Newly Organized
Corporation.

Yesterday the Commercial League
Corporation took title of the valuable
property of Albert Conover on Broad
street. just west of the bridge Law
yer Leroy W. Loder, Secretary of the
Corporation, had the deed recorded
yesterday.
This corporation was incorporated
about two weeks ago, when subscrip-
tions for stock opened, many shares of
stock have been subscribed, but not
enough to accomplish the good the
corporation have in mind for the city
Besides considerable is needed for
working capital.
The price at which Mr.. Conover
disposed of the property was very
low-$6, 600, and made his terms most
liberal
Frank Fl. McGalIiard, Treasurer of
the Corporation has personally visited
quite number Of citizens, who lave
invested in the stock of the concern.
There are others whom he will not be
able to see and their support of the
enterprise will be appreciated. The
par value OF the shares are $50 each,
which will be amply secured by the
buildings and real estate holdings of
the corporation. The purpose in
forming the Commercial League
Corporation was to interest manu-
facturers to locate in this city, and
in securing such additional manu-.
featuring interests every resident of
this city is interested.
Our people ought to help in practi-
cal manner by subscribing for at least
one share of the stock, and as many
more as can be afforded.

A FISH STORY
WITH BIG RESULTS

Fish are starting up the rivers early
this spring, and large catches of shad
and other of the fnny tribe have been
numerous. 1t remained, however for
David Gallagher and Walter Russell to
entice the first sturgeon into their net.
Yesterday, while off Sea Breeze and
near shore, a beauty became entangled
in the meshes, and when the fish was
landed it was found to weigh about
400 pounds, and netted the boys Sl51. 80.
The roe weighed 81 pounds. This is
understood to be the first of the season.

House was present when the roll was
called on the bill.
In opening the battle against the
bill Nichols of Cumberland. made a
speech, quoting eminent men in
support of the contention that the
observance Of the Sabbath is essential
to the salvation OF this nation. He
declared that it was fallacious to de-
clare that the lowest workingmen of
the State were in favor of the bill as
they are not, but those back of the
measure want it for business purposes.
and the workingmen are not on record
as favoring it, He said there were
two forms of law, one1of Divine and
one of human origin, and that both
are opposed to this proposition, and
he deplored the fact that any member
of the Legislature should come here
and advocate the abrogation of a
Divine law in the desecration Of the
Sabbath.
Assemblyman Nichols, of Cumber-
land, moved to relieve the Judiciary
Committee of further consideration of
its bill to abolish county tax boards
L believe" he said, that the
county tax board repeater is one of
the most meritorious bills presented at
this session. The bill has been lying
in committee ever since the second
week. 1t is time that the committee
should relsase it and allow every
member to go on record
The motion was lost, % to 3S. All
the Demo mocrat and Messrs Heritage, of
Gloucester; Crosby, of Ocean, and
McAllister, of Cumberland, Republi
cans, voted with Mr.. Nichols
Governor Fort, it is expected will
send to the Senate tomorrow two
nominations for the tax board of each
county.
In the Senate among the bills passed
were the following:
McAlilster BILL permitting hunting
of wild buck deer with dogs
Prohibiting the use of block wheels
on any motor vehicles on any street or
county road
Making it unlawful to lay pipes on
any lands Of the State under tidal
waters without the permission of the
Governor and Riparian Commissioner.
Prohibiting the selling or giving
away of trolley transfers.
Providing for a fine of $40 for ex-
pectorating on the floor of a trolley
car.
Bills passed by the House included
Providing for the establishment of
game farm.
Making any person aiding or
abetting in the escape of a wrong.
doer guilty of misdemeanor.
Both branches adjourned until to-
morrow morning. Although o'clock
in the afternoon is the hour set for
final adjournment, the clocks will be
stopped and the session of the last day
will probably be prolonged until after
midnight.

What Will 1t Bring

When estimating the profit on this
crop, Mr.. Crandall said: "From this
l6O acres expect to secure 6,400 bu-
shells of No. l Alberta Red and there is
every reasonEto believe that this crop
will be sold at ST per bushel at the ele-
vator, giving me gross return of $64OO.
The total expense connected with this
crop will not exceed $40 per acre, which
will giveEme profit of "a 500 or sum
exceeding the price / paid for this
land. This is, of course, based upon a
price of 81 per bushel, and l believe
that this years crop will sell at figure
in advance of 81 per bushel.- Weekly

Irrigated Last Summer Will
Turn Off Fine Crop.

Those who are competent to judge
state that the record yield of winter
wheat in southern Alberta this year
will be harvested on the farm of F. w.
Crandall, which is situated near Gle
chen. 1t is stated that the general
average of this field of 100 acres will be
at least 40 bushels to the acre.
Last fall, Mr.. Crandall decided to
demonstrate the value of irrigation.
His action was taken with a view to
determining the cost of irrigating Bow
valley land, and also to make com
parison of crops grown in the same
districts, under irrigation and under
natural rainfall conditions.

Put Water On Once

The story of this, which may prove
to be the banner crop of Alberta Red
for the year 1910, reads as follows
The blowing was done IN the spring of
1909, the water being turned on July
I; by the 30th the field was thorough
ly irrigated and the water turned off.
The irrigation materially assisted in
the rotting of the sods and when SOW
ing commenced on August 10Th it was
found that the soil was quite mellow.
No irrigation, other than the first, was
necessary, but this spring, the field
was packed with view to saving the
moisture

The Cost

Inspeaking of the cost of irrigating
this land, Mr. Crandall says: II find
that the cost ofthis work was 42a cents
per acre. paid $3.50 per day for one
man and $2.75 for another, neither
seemed to know the first thing about
the distribution of water.
For the making of the small distri-
buting bitches paid IS a day for a
man with four horses; all the prices
for labor We're the average for similar
work. Much work was done unneces-
sarily on account of inexperience, and
under more favorable circumstances,
as far as labor was concerned, l am
satisfied the same area could be irriga-
ted for an amount not exceeding 40 cts.
