BROAD VIEW OF
MORAL QUESTION

The Millville Republican in its usaul
broad, unprejudiced and impartial
manner, when discussing important
public matters, says
What is the matter with the resi-.
dents of Bridgeton? Is there a clergy.
man over there who is aching to draw
a little money out of the county treas
ury? If not, why this sudden desire
on the part of Assemblyman McAllister
to morally educate the prisoners in the
county Jail?
Yesterday Mr.. McAllister intro.
duced in the House bill which gives
to the Board Of Freeholders power to
appoint at salary of $500 a year,
clergymen to act as moral instructors
in county prisons. Nice little bit that
to add to Bridgeton pastors salary
if the bill becomes a law for of course
no one outside the county seat would
| get chance to act at $500 per year.
'Bridgeton now has nearly three
fourths of all the county officeholders
| and unless someone stops their ambi-
| tion there soon will not be a man in
the county seat who does not hold a
| salaried county office.
g Is 1T desire to convert the prison
ers or give some one $500 per year that
acuated the Assemblyman2

Legislative Session Was a
Short One.
BILLS OF CUMBERLAND

Introductions Into Both
Houses.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 18 With a
single session for the week on Monday
night the Legislature adjourned out of
respect to former Governor George T
Werts, who died in Jersey City on
Monday morning.
With nearly one hundred bills intro
duced. thirty eight in the Senate and
fifty seven in the House, the Legislators
made quick get away. and there will
be no further activity in the legislative
hEils until Monday.
In the House Cumberland got six
bills introduced. Assemblyman Mich
OILS introduced the bill to repeal the
act creating Tax Boards, which he
placed before the House last winter. It
was not reported from committee. 1t
is not likely that it will be this winter.
He also introduced the bill to permit
cunning on lands over which tidal
water GIBBS and flows. This is the
same bill prepared by Senator Minch a
few years ago and failed to get
through. 1t has always been held that
the provisions of the bill are uncon-
stitutional. The other Nichols bill
extends the direct primary to the
selection of candidates for Congress
man. This will not pass either House
this winter.
Assemblyman McAllister introduced
bill which will attract considerable
attention and which is likely to be
enacted into law. 1t provides that
Boar is of Chosen Freeholders may
appoint q moral instructor for county
jails at an annual salary not exceeding
$500 The bill is drawn upon the
same lines of the act providing for a
moral instructor of the State Prison.
Another bill of Mr.. McAllister pro-
vides an amendment to the deer hunt
ing law. permitting the use of dogs
during the hunting seaon. The bill is
backed by all of the deer hunters
Cumberland county. 1t is understood
that the Fish and Game Commission
is opposed to the measure.
The third bill of Mr.. McAllister
provides that the State Oyster Com
mission shall have authority to shell
the creeks, license tongers and gives
power to appoint superintendent if
needed.
Each of the bills of Mr.. McAlilster
goes to committee of which he is
member. Tnis gives him opportunity
of getting the bills reported.
The absence of Governor Fort from
the capital, cut out all political gossip
OF interest. The Governor will be
away until Friday.
Among the Cumberland county
people here last night were Alex. R
Fithian, Bridgeton. and Postmaster
Frank WanseT and Howard Dolby, of

FORT SPEAKS ON
CORPORATIONS

At Washington. D. c., to-day. at
the Convention of Governors, much
interest was manifested in an address
by Governor j. Franklin Fort of this
State. He spoke upon Estate Super
vision and Regulation of Quasi Public
Enterprise.
The Governor stated the situation in
paragraph when he says:
ga corporation is the creature of the
State. Expressed in another way, it is
simply an agency of the State having
conferred upon it certain of the powers
which the State may grant, with the
authority to exercise those powers in
the way the statute creating it pro-
vides. !"
The Governor carefully reviewed the
we'll settled law in the matter, re-
ferring to decisions of the Supreme
Court, and then held strongly that
the management of the corporations
should now be convinced that State
supervision is proper aid in bringing
about proper regulation rather than
oppose it. Continuing, the Governor
said:
The problem is not an easy one to
olive. There are questions of difficulty
in all directions. State supervision
has its limitations. 1t should not be
extended to practically amount to
government ownership. Nor should it
assert actual control in any way. 1t
should be strictly confined to correction
in management The power of initia.
tive in an administrative State board
can only cause embarrassment. The
power of revision and review will
answer every purpose. When no
wrong exists no need for supervision
can be found. Directors of public
serving companies should be given a
free hand to manage and direct their
corporate affairs and business. Only
when complaint is made of the fairness
and justice of their acts, is there either
right or reason for State interference,
even for regulative purposes, Let the
statutes define, with precision, the
powers and obligations of directors in
administering their trust; and, the
Administrative Board of the State, be
given authority to meet and correct
any inequalities or injustice with
directors may permit or encourage.

Mrs. Martin Anderson, this morning,
had narrow escape from serious
accident. Her apron was fired by
coming in contact with the stove, and

The report of Public Works Com
missioner Timothy Woodruff was
interesting. He said that there should
be an increased water supply not later
than May 1st He suggested the en-
ployment of Clyde Potts as consulting
engineer. He suggested that Mr.. Potts
could quickly acquaint himself with
conditions and suggest the best method
of increasing the supply. Mr.. Wood
ruff thought it would be possible to
operate wells near pumping station
with steam, and wells in the swamp
with gasoline power The matter of
suction storage tank and treatment of
water he also thought should be left
with the consulting engineer. Mr.
Woodruff also made suggestions rela.
tive to underground pipe records.

In 1t he said that there had been Ss
police calls of minor character during

Company stating that the LaFrance
engine would be shipped January 31st

F. L. Fralinger reported that he had
spent $12 SO during the recent snow
storm. He said if he had listened to
advice of everybody he could have
spent several hundred dollars. Mr..
Fralinger said he did not believe in
spending much money in this way as
when the snow was gone there was
nothing to show for the expenditure of
the money.
Overseer of the Poor, Robert F.
Ayars reported that he had sent one
person to the Aims House, had reunited
a husband and wife, had two other
cases under advisement and had
brought one suit to compel a man to
support his family.

CITY WINS SANDHOG'S SUIT
Two Men Call Plaintiff S Case
Deliberate Invention.

Although il was necessary to prove Its
case TO dig two large planks out of the
snow in front of the site where the new
municipal building is going up on PARK
Row, the city has come out victorious in d
suit for damages that Thomas Feale, a
-'sandhog'- brought for $4,000. Following
their visit to a Park Row saloon, Neale
and another "sandhog." named James Web
ster indulged in a friendly wrestling
match. during which veale was thrown
heavily TO the ground. injurinS his ankle
Veale sued the city for damages, and on
the trial the Corporation Counsel produced
the evidence of two men, who heard Web
ster say TO Veale after the accident: Don't
tell anything about this, and we will fix II
up that you fell in q hole in the planks.
But the watchman on the job got busy OF
his own accord, rounded up the witnesses
and gave their names to the Corporation
Counsel, so that when the case came up in
the Supreme Court, before Justice Green
baum. the city was we'll prepared with its
case.
To make doubly sure, the patrolrnan who
was on the beat when the accident took
place was sent out to mark the planks that
it was alleged caused the injuries TO Neale.
Then the planks, each measuring Il inches
wide and inches thick. were dug out from
a pile of snow and brought to court. They
were perfectly good planks. without hole
in either. and a verdict was given for the
city.

William McAdoo. of New York, and City
Judge James K O'Connor. of Utica, at the
opening session of the second annual state
conference Of magistrates of cities and vii
lages to-day, declared there were too many
arrests Nearly one hundred and fifty thou
sand persons were arrested in Manhattan
and The Bronx boroughs last year, and
more than one-third of this number were
DISCHARGED by the courts as not guilty.
Judge O'Connor said that the multiplied
ton of statutes and ordinances led TO need
less arrests for trivial offences, with the
result that arrests were not considered sc
serious as they should be.
Since September the summons system has
been in vogue in New York. by which per

SEEKS 100000 FOR ERROR
Plaintiff Says Carnegie Trust
Treated Him as Absconder.

Ellsworth Childs head of the company
operating many restaurants In New YORK
and other cities, is the plaintiff IN the Su-
preme Court against the Carnegie Trust
Company in an odd suit for 200 dam
ages. The suit Is the result of getting the
plaintiff confounded with an E Childs who
had absconded with some funds, causing
the attachment Of the plaintiffs bank ac-
count with the defendant company and the
refusal to pay several checks drawn by the
plaintiff on his account.
It appears that In seeking a loan from the
Carnegie Trust Company Childs talked with
Charles C. Dickinson. then the president
of the institution, who promised the loan
il Childs would place an account there
Childs did this. Subsequently the other
z. C.hilds absconded with funds belonging
to the Guaranty Trust Company. and the
lawyers for the latter company learned OF
an account of an E Childs at the Carnegie
Trust Company. which they attached.
In little while the pie baker, the butcher
and others called Ellsworth Childs on the
| telephone and told him that the Carnegie
Trust Company had refused to pay the
checks that he had made out to them.
Childs laughed and said that it was good
| ioke, not knowing at the time that the
| Joke was on him. He called at the Office
| of the trust company to see Mr., Dick
| inson but somehow was never able TO see
| him. He talked with one of the other of
| hcials who told Chflds Of the attachment
and promised to investigate. This official
| of the Carnegie Trust Company later wrote
| Childs letter explaining the whole affair
| But Chi1ds Is not satisfied with explana-
ton and asks s100.0O0 damages for distress
| OF body and mind and for the company S
alleged malicious and negligent dishonor-
| ing of his checks.
ChiIds also complains that at the time
this occurred he was negotiating for the
| sale of one of his restaurants for $4,000
| but that when the news got abroad of his
| checks being returned unpaid the prospec-
tive buyer dropped the negotiations.
