NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Public Utilities Law Signed.

Governor Fort signed the Wake
lee-Pierce public utilities bill, at Tren-
ton, at the same time making public
a statement defining his attitude
toward the measure. The Governor
in his statement says he has salts
fed himself as to the constitutionality
of the bill, and quotes al opinion of
ex-Justice Van Syckel. Others be
had consulted were Chanler w. Riker,
Attorney-General Edmund Wilson
and Frank N. Sommer. In discussing
the bill itself, the Governor says:
ut certainly is a long step in advance.
If it did nothing else than give the
commission power to inquire into and
expose unjust exaction and to inhibit
unjust determinations as to rates
and charges-which it clearly does
it would be unfortunate if 1t should
fail of enactment. But it does go
further, in that it ~confers upon the
Utilities Board in the strongest Ian
guage possible power to compel safe
and adequate service by all utilities
companies. Under this power proper
and safe car service can be required.
To be compelled to hang upon straps
should soon cease. / approve the act
in order that the principle may be
established and the act made a basis
to build future legislation upon which
shall be more effective. There must
always be a beginning. If l should
veto this bill, l am quite sure I
should greatly please some people

prevent any legislation and allege
that the executive, who has been in

had refused a fair one, and thus at

on him. l do not propose that any
of those now caught in this weak net
shall be permitted to wiggle out

BE PREPARED FOR WORST.
Friend Tells Senator lothian P. Aids
at Albany.

Albany, N. Y.-Senator lothian P.
Aids, of Chenango, whose trial be-
lore the Senate on a charge of having
demanded and accepted a thousand
dollar bride to influence his Official
action as majority leader in the 1901
session of the Assembly, came to a
close, was told by a close personal and
political friend to prepare for the
worst.
1t would be difficult for any person
not actually in touch with the situa-
ton at the Capitol to appreciate the
bitterness that exists against Senator
Conger among his fellow-members
of the upper house.
One of the Senators who voted for
Hinman for majority leader in the re-
cent Senate caucus and who, there
fore, cannot be regarded al an Aids
partisan, said that regardless of any
verdict he would move to have
charges preferred against Senator
Conger before a Senate committee
the moment the Aids case had been
decided.
"And should the Senate fail to ex-
pei Conger, I shall offer my resigna-
tion," said this Senator. II cannot
sit in this Chamber with a man like
Conger."

JUSTICE D. ]. BREWER DIES
Stricken With ApopIexy He Falls
Dead At Washington, D. c.
Standard Oil, American Tobacco Co.
Suits and Constitutionality OF Cor
poration Tax Still Pending.

Washington, D. C.-Associate JUS
tice David ]. Brewer, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, died sud
denly of apoplexy at his home in Six
teenth street here.
He was preparing to retire n had
disrobed. He went to the bathroom,
and had been there but a moment or
two when Mrs. Brewer heard the
sound of a. fall. She ran to the room
and found her husband lying uncon-
scious on the floor.
Mrs. Brewer telephoned for friends
and physicians, but when Judge A. M.
Gould, DR.. A. H. Taylor and DR.. Ster-
ling Rufin responded Justice Brewer
was dead.
The only other person in the Brew
er home at the time was Miss Clara
Hall, a niece of Mrs. Brewer. Mrs. J.
L. Karick and Mrs. A. P. Jetmore,
daughters of the Justice by a former
marriage, reached the home a few
minutes after he died.
Three cases of extraordinary impor-
lance possibly may be affected by the
death of Justice Brewer. They are
that of the Government against the
Standard Oil Company; that of the
Government against the American To-
bacco Company, and that involving
the constitutionality of the corpora
ton tax. The last is, in effect. the
consolidation Of a number of cases.
The first two are actions under the
Sherman antitrust law for the disso-
luton of the corporations by %injunc-
ton.

Der of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States who was not BORN in this
country. His father, the Rev. Josiah
Brewer, was a missionary at Smyrna,
in Asia Minor, and it is there that he
was born on June 20, 1897. He was
graduated from Yale College in 1856,
and from the Albany Law School two
years later. In 1859 he began to
practice law in Leavenworth, Kan,
and two years later was appointed
United States Commissioner. He was
elected Judge of the Supreme Court
and again in 1882.
His success in that office attracted
the attention of President Arthur, and
in 1884 he was appointed Judge of
the United States Circuit Court. Five
years later, when he was fifty-two
years old. he was called to Washing
ton as Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court.
He became known as one of the
great advocates in the Supreme Court
of individual rights against the tyran-
ny of the majority. In delivering an
address before the New York State
Bar Association in 1893, he said:
Here there is no monarch threat
ening trespass upon an Individual.
The danger is from the multitude

MAY BE PARALYSIS.
Daughter of Deputy Sheriff Judkins
Believed to Have Dread Disease.

Fern Judkins, the 9-year-old daugh-
ter of Deputy Sheriff Ben Judkins, is
believed to be a victim of infantile
paralysis, the disease which, by its
simultaneous appearance in various
parts of the state during the past week
has aroused the attention of physicians
everywhere. Puzzled by the symp-
toms in the case, which resemble those
of spinal meningitis as well as answer
ing in many respects to the newly de-
scrihed infantile paralysis, DIR. d. T.
Nichols has postponed announcing a
diagnosis until the patient has been ex-
amined by DR.. S. J. Crumbine of the
state board of health.
The little girl was taken i'll two days
ago with what was supposed to be a
fever resulting from stomach and bow
ell trouble common in summer weather.
Her fever was high and her pulse
climbed to 132. DIR. G. F. Scholle and
DR.. Nicols, who later took the case,
labored to reduce the fever and were
successful by yesterday afternoon
when the child was comfortable. Dur
ing the night paralysis Of the lower
limbs set in and this morning the girls
head was drawn slightly backwards to
an almost rigid position. She does not,
however. suffer pain save when she
is moved.
Dr. Nico1s stated after his examina-
ton of the patient this morning that
the symptoms rese1n bled those of spin
al meningitis very closely and he was
doubtful of the. infanti1e paralysis
theory. He chose, however, to notify
the secretary of the state board of
health on account of DIR. Crumbine's
active study of the disease which has
been precipitated by it's recent frequent
appearance. DIR. Crumbine has di-
rected the attention of all the public
physicians in the state toward the dis
ease in recent interviews and commu-
nications, and it's battling character is
attracting far more than mere profess
sional attention.
Members of the Judkins family and
their friends are deeply concerned and
are waiting for the verdict of the ply
sicians which is expected this after
noon, with the greatest enxiety.

Western Kansas Man Gets One of Fast
Going Concessions.

Topeka, which rather prides itself on
being something of a Watermelon CEN
ter both as to producing as well as
the financial coups that surround the
marketing, has lost to western Kansas.
western Kansas man-from out
near the Colorado line-turned the
trick. He came to Topeka and OBJ
tanned the watermelon concession Of
the Kansas state fair, not only under
bidding the Topeka crowd but putting
up five times as much money to insure
the privilege.
And that is the way it is going. A
man from Hutchinson, where they
have a fair at the same time as the
state fair in Topeka, purchased two of
the most valuable concessions by pay
ing three times as much as any To-
peka man would offer.
'7The trouble is that everybody but
Topeka people realize that we are go
ing to have great big state fair, -
said Secretary H. L. Cook. ''They come
in here and offer county fair prices for
these privileges when we are going to
have one of the biggest shows of state
wide Importance ever given.
Topeka people had better wake up
for the concessions are going so rap
idly that soon there will be none left.

know, too, that they are expected 70

ested in we would like to have them
