NEARLY A Law.
Sessions orp0ratiOn Bill Passes
Lower House.
Only Governors Signature Is
Now Necessary.

The Democrats in the house this
morning, with the aid of few Re-
publicans put the kibosh on the COM
mittee taxation bill providing for the
creation of a separate taxation dis
trict between city and county and
the appointment of deputy assessors
to take the city districts.
The bill was rushed up to emer-
gency and third reading for quick
passage. but while on third reading
Thomas of Wyandotte amended 1t to
become effective upon publication in
the statute book instead of the state
paper. AS the object of those persons
pushing the bill was that it might be-
come effective as law at once, the
amendment defeated their direct aims
and prevented the object of the bill
from being carried out in relation to
the assessment for this year. The
statutes are not printed until next
July.
With this amendment attached like
a milestone around its neck, the Dill
waa allowed to pass.
The Sessions corporation bill was
placed on third reading in the house
this morning. The senate had passed
this bill with but slight amendment.
Davis of Kiowa, moved an amend
ment to the bill to the effect that the
rulings of the~secretary of state in re-
gard to capital stock of corporations
be not final, thus giving the corpora
lions the right to appeal to the courts
The member from Kiowa contended
that the bill would be unconstitution-
al if it gave a state official court pow
ers. As thus amended the Sessions
bill was passed. 1t will give largely
| increased revenues to the state and
tends to patch up the holes and loop
holes in the states corporation law
! The measure was copied largely from
I \. 1a I,o& bot
a million and a half revenue from its
corporations. The bill was drawn by
Charles Sessions. secretary of state
and was introduced by the COMMITTEES
on private corporations. 1t is regard
ed as an important and progressive
and beneficial piece of legislation The
! bill only awaits the governors sig
| natIIre to become a law.

FRISCO WINS.
Preliminary Vote Gives the City
the Worlds Fair.
Subsequent Ballotfng Not Like
ly to Change Result.

Washington, jan 31-San Fran
cisco won a signal victory in the house
of representatives today in the fight
with New Orleans for the Panama ex-
position in 1915. The house voted 1SS
to 159 in favor of taking up the reso-
luton favoring San Francisco. The
final vote on the resolution will not
be held until O'Clock. but the pre-
liminary vote indicated what the atti-
tude of the house would be.
In submitting the special rule I'M
der which the exposition project was
considered today, Representative Dali
zell of Pennsylvania from the commit
| tee on rules said that committee had
been appealed to by the advocates OF
both San Francisco and New Orleans
Neither was willing to have the other
city's claims first considered. 1t was
lthereupon determined to put the mat
tier squarely up to the house and have
a roll call.
Those favoring consideration of the
San Francisco proposition first, it was
ordered, were to answer "San Fran
CISCO; those favoring New Orleans
i"New Orleans"
| The San Francisco proposition is
contained in joint resolution which
simply asks government recognition OF
| the exposition and inviting foreign ma
lions to participate. The New Or
leans proposition is contained in q
house bill asking recognition by the
! government, an Invitation TO 1OrelSI
nations to participate ard calling fol
an appropriation of 100000 for &
government exhibit.
| The galleries held the greatest crowds
of the session. Many of the spectators
\ were women.
| The City Rejoices.
| San Francisco, Jan. 31.-With the
| bursting of bombs, the shrieking ot
steam whistles and the ringing of bells
| the news that San Francisco had won
| the first victory in the Panama exposi-
| ton contes. was announced to the peo-
pie of this city today. Following the
| flash from the national capital telling
| that the house had voted in favor of
| the western metropolis as the site for
| the proposed worlds fair San Fran
| cisco gave itself up to manifestations
/ of joy.
| Everywhere it was felt that the bat
| tie virtually was won and only faint
doubt remained of the ultimate result
| when both houses should vote on the
measure inviting the nations of the
earth to unite in celebrating here the
completion of the canal connecting the
lAtlantic and Pacific and bringing ths
| ports of Europe thousands of miles
nearer the Golden Gate.

Specinl TO the EKENING NEWS

Port Monmouth, Sept. 5.-Many friends
mourn the late John Naughton, fifty
one years old, who was killed by a
Central railroad train at nine o'clock
Saturday night, and hundreds attended
the funeral services at>9.30 o'clock this
morning from st. Mary's church, this

with interment in Mt. Olive cemetery.
Beautiful floral tributes were received
from the deceased s many relatives,
friends, and associates in the Democra-

Mr.. Naughton was crossing the tracks
enroute to a nearby grocery store when
the train passed. 1t is the suppositiOn
that, as the last four passenger coaches
were in darkness, the victim walked
into the rear of the moving train as
the lighted cars went by. He was hor-
ribIy mangled with both legs and one
arm severed. His cries of anguish
brought Mrs. Naughton, who aroused
the |ueighbors with screams for help.
The injured man was given relief by
tying clothing around his wounds and
administering restoratives. An ap-
preaching train was tagged and the man
to the hospital, but he died be-
fore reaching the institution.

COMPTON BOAT
CLOSE WINNER
Seventh Race of Raritan
Yacht Club Series.

In the closest race of the season
the Ellida, owned and sailed by the
Compton brothers, of this city, won
the seventh race in the yacht club
series Saturday afternoon, beating
out by q small margin. The sailing
was most interesting throughout, all
boats finishing within a few seconds
of each other. The little Catboat
Estella, owned by Bryan, caused an
other surprise, coming IN second.
On account of the strong wind pre-
vailing several accidents occurred,
putting the usual winners out Of the
race as far as first place was concern
ed. The Ellida, while weathering
the wind attacks, snapped its jib
sheets but was able to continue and
cop the first place. The Marguerite,
from Mariners HarboT, broke its
bowsprit of in a sQuaIl and came in
last. The BOle, which was picked as
a winner broke its throat halyard,
and had its spinnaker boom carried
away, causing the boat to only get
fourth place. The Tempest, on &C
count of the immense sail carried,
had to reef down considerably, which
retarded its sailing power greatly.
The finish was the closest eve
seen around here, the first three
boats coming in almost neck and
neck. These were the Bole, Elsie,
and the Tempest. The EIlida and
the Estella had small time allow
ances, and were able to win out
through these, although they were
but a minute behind the leaders.

about the combatants. Kahn got the
worst of the fracas, which was ended
by the Intervention Of employees OF
the hotel and DR.. Stern Of New York.
