Definitely it become known today
that the "Pennsy terminal will be
located in Park place at the extreme
southern end of Military Park The
pennsylvania Railroad Company at the
outset wanted it understood that it
sought no concessions from the city OF
Newark or the property-owners; that
the Saybrook place site was purchased
for terminal purposes, but the EVE
MING STAR is enabled to state that
overtures have been made by the rail-
road corporation, and that in return
therefor Mayor Haussling s. request
that the new Pennsy bridge across
Centre street be so constructed us TO
accommodate the travelling public,
vehicles and pedestrians has been
granted.
Finishing touches are being put upon
the terminal proposition. and it is prob
able that within fortnight the Board
of Works will receive a detailed report
of the plans. They will be submitted
by City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd.
who within a few days will close the
entire matter at a conference with
Engineer Shand, of the pennsylvania
Railroad Company. 1t was expected
that the two engineers would have
perfected their plans in time Tor SUD

sanction at next Thursdays meeting,
but the recent trip to Chicago by En-
gineer Sherrerd interferred, ana fur-
ther delay was occasioned by a recent
mishap to Mr. Sherrerd, who sprained
his ankle by slipping on the Ice.

Board of Works Commissioners and the
other Newark officials, assumed the

formed the Newarkers that they were
in a receptiv mood, but that thy were
asking for no favors whatever 1t was
cold bluff They didn't want to erect
their terminal station in Saybrook
place And the people of Newark didn't
want it in that out of the way place
either. Both sides understood each
other. The conference was a secret
session. probably because the Pennsyl-
vania people didn't want it generally
understood that the title to certain
Park place property was still in an
embryotic condition. For that matter
some of 1t is still in that condition,
which accounts for their failure to
make their plans public.
Realizing that the. Pennsylvania peo-
pie wanted to construct their station as
near tbe corner of Market and Broad
streets as practicable. and that being
the wish of the Newark officials, too.
there was nothing left for the. city Of

TEMPERANCE
QUESTION UP

BY United Press Wire
Washington, March 3O-A new bill to
prevent shipping liquor into dry states
was introduced simultaneously in the
senate and house this afternoon by
Senator Curtis and Representative
Miilen, both of Kansas.
The measure, supported by the anti
saloon league, provides for segrega-
ton as a seperate commodity, in in
ter-state commerce, of all intoxicat-
ing liquors and limits this class OF
transportation only into stateswhere
there are no restrictions on the sale
of alcoholic liquors. The measure Is
modelled on supreme court decision
that congress could thus segregate a
commodity and restrict its trans
portation.

Columbus, o., March 30.--The bat

minor and technical amendments Of
Tered by the author.
When Representative Woods sat
down after a lengthy explanation of
the provisions of his bill, dozen
members were on their feet waving
amendments, among them Reed
Brenner, Crawford, of Athens, Schai-
bley and Swan. The real attack
opened when the speaker recognized
Brenner of Springfield. He had Il
long list of amendments which on
motion were taken up one at time
one provided for a rate while the
courts were deciding on the validity
of any rate set by the commission
Bremen demanded a roll call and
got twenty-six for his amendment tC
sixty-six against 1t. The house ther
recessed until this afternoon when the
remainder of the Brenner amend
ments and probably some from Other
sources will be taken up. The
amendment particularly desired by
the opposition to the Woods bill Is
the one striking out the clause for
bidding one public utility owning
more than twenty-five per cent of thu
stock of another public utility.
The wording OF the bill has beer
so changed that telephone compa'

DENOUNCES
BANK BILL
Fowler of New Jersey Op-
poses Senator Aldrich's
Plan.
BY United Press wire.


Washington, March 30--Denouncing
the Central bank scheme favored by
Senator Aldrich ana the monetary com
mission, Representative Fowler of
New Jersey, former chairman of the
banking and currency committee OF
the house, delivered lengthy speech
in the house this afternoon on the
currency question.
1.-TWO great trials I'm the courts of
civilization have occurred on this
continent" he said. "The first was
british tyranny versus the American
colonies. George Washington was at
torney for the colonies, and the colon
les won.
1.-THE second was slavery versus liz
erty. Abraham Lincoln was attorney
of record for liberty; and liberty won.
"a third is now pending. 1t Is the
chairman of the national monetary
commission, alias Aldrichism, alias
special interest versus the people of
the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt is attorney OF
record for the people and the people;
under his leadershipwill triumph most
gloriously."
AibNI butllilllS MS pau VI currently
reform Fowler said he believed the CO.
luton Of the question lay in the "co-
ordination and unification of our
banks and by throwing the RESPONSE
bility of their soundness upon the
bankers themselves, who should be
organized for supervisory and admin
istrative purposes, and by providing
for elasticity in individual bank re-
serveselastlcty in the currency of
each bank and for n great central re-
serve moro than adequate for any
possible demand upon it,"
Fowler scored the appointments
made by speaker Cannon on the none
tary commission.
ut was marvelously strange that
speaker was so scrupulously careful
to avoid appointing any one upon the
commission who had ever been sus-
pected In knowing anything about the
subject, "he said. "Nor could the COM
mission rely upon the speaker for In
formation for referring to this sub
ject, he said to me; 81 do not want to
discuss a thing that / do not know a
damn thing about"
Every man in the country who had
|studied the question and knew some
thing abut it knew either that Aldricl
did not know anything about it,or that
he was acting in the utmost bad faith
I'm urging the passage of the Aldrich
bill.
1T Is extremely doubtful whether
the exact reason ever was or will be
known to any one except the chairman
of the monetary commission and the
speaker of the house why Ignorance
was the measure for membership on
the monetary commission unless II
was either fixed upon this country

ated measure which Is popularity
