WILSON'S DELAYS
ATTRACT SOLONS
TOWARD TRENTON
A~ssemblymen Flock to Capital
to Learn Fate of
Bills.
[From a STAN Correspondent.

TRENTON, June Eff Governor
Wilson had desired TO call an extra
session of the Legislature both houses
would have convened without delay to-
day, as there were sufficient members
here to constitute a quorum in either
branch. They were on hand to inquire
into the probable fate of the bills that
have been reposing on the executive
desk while Governor Wilson was on his
tour of the West and South.
The Governor had not acted on any
leftover bills up to the time he went
to lunch today, and probably will not
do so this afternoon. He has not init
mated what his decision will be on any
of the pending measures. A delegation
dropped In from Burlington county to
ask the Governor to veto the Dill intro
duced by Assemblyman Prince provid-
ing that 1t shall be a misdemeanor for
a minor to obtain liquor by represent
ing that he is u years Did. The anti
saloon and local option element are
strongly against this
To Trick acknowledgement.
The Burlington County Liquor Deal
ers' Association sent a delegation to
tHe state flOuSt W uiSt tic 1bkSli ~
to approve the bill. The liquor men
claim they should be protected from
prosecution in cases wheresyouths allege
they are q years of age, and so obtain
drinks, when, in fact. they are minors.
They say thai in several instances in
the past this method has been resorted
to to prosecute saloon-keepers for selling
to minors. The Pine law, in such cases,
puts the responsibility on the minor
and provides that he shall be prose-
cuted for the misrepresentation. The
measure would put an end to the hir-
ing of minors to act as detectives
against the saloon-keepers.
The Governor intends to leave for his
summer home at Lyme, Conn, ON
Thursday. He will be here all day to-
morrow, and will then probably act on
the bills before him. The Governor is
still hearing from both sides on the
bill providing two-year terms for coun-
ty committee organizations. Democrats
in Hudson who are strong for the
measure are exerting all their influ-
ence with the Governor to sign. 1T
remains to be seen whether they or
James /. Blauvelt, of Passaic, who de-
scribed county committees as crooks
at the hearing yesterday and his allies
have the most weight with the Gov
ernor.

was called to the house to revive the

told of what he saw, but did not ven

Gilman said that circumstances led
him to believe without any doubt that
suicide was the motive. He told how

On three separate complaints Joseph

the action of the grand jury by Judge
Herr in the Fourth Precinct Court to-
day. One complaint is for assault and
battery, another for breaking, entering
and larceny, and still another for car

The first complaint lodged against
the mar was made b. Mrs. Julia Mas

threatened to take her life. The sec
ond complaint was entered by the same
roman # is time 1t was for enter
ing her house and tealing the sum
of 50.
Not long after the man had left
Mrs. Mascola's house he came in con-
tact with Patrolman Tenore, who
thought him to be a suspicious tlaf
acter and placed him under arrest.
At the station house 1t vas found
that the man had several implements
in his possession that peaceful others
do not usually carry.

SEN. ACkERMAN
IS SILENT OVER
CHECK DISPOSAL
CONTINUED from First Page,

e~n,cluments of the office shall deVoive
upon the president of the senate.
Senator Alderman had teen Informed
on June l that a check for 1888 90 as
salary as governor, was ready for bin,
but he asked for a few days to IN
slider whether or not he shoull accaIt
it. Mr.. Ackerr,an is a very punctilious
gentleman, who handles things CT this
nature with more than ordinary nicely.
On State questions that iave a legal
side to them he generally c%onsults q
lawyer before acting. 1t is evident
then that he vas convinced thar he
sheuld draw the salary for The month
previous to June before he accepted
the check.
1t had been commended in certain
quarters that Senator Alderman was
not entitled to draw the salary, be-
cause the Constitution provides that a
senator or assemblyman Is entitled to
the emoluments of no other State office
for the period for which he was elected,
but this view was not consistent with
the provision which forbids the pay
ment of salary to a governor during
his absence from the State and had to
be ~disregarded when tho actual circum-
stances of the Governors prolonged alb
sence and the assumption of his place
by the president of the Senate had to
be faced.
! Constitutional lawyers generally
agree that t .,e the State could not
have paid the salary to Governor VIII
son.
The established precedent that the
salary must go to the president of
the Senate during the Governors alb
sence means that If Governor Wilson
Is nominated for the Presidency next
year he will probably have to resign
his Office on receiving the nomination.
In the event of his being nominated
he would be absent from the State for
long periods at a time during the cam
pafgn, and 1t would hardly be regarded
proper that he should remain execu-
tive head of the State while another
was actually doing the work.
Neither would his retention of the
G~overnorship in the light of what the
New Jersey constitution says would
not be calculated to help his candi-
daoy. Especially is thtis true if the
president of the Senate should happen
to be then, as now, a Republican.
