first will be held in the morning at
the Jamesburg high school and the

Trenton, Jan. 19:-State Motor We
hicle Commissioner J B. T. SMITH
appeared by Invitation yesterday be-
fore the opening session of the STATE
board Of agriculture and gave tho
position Of the state and his w
private views as TO the automobile
law which the legislators are nov
trying TO amend.
He said that as an executive OF.
fcer he had no part in correcting ths
law, If 1t needed correcting, but he
declared that the practice of invit-
ing Legislators to pledge themselves
In advance on coming legislation in
the hope of getting votes was getting
to be somewhat of a scandal and that
this thing would n day become IL
legal under the corrupt practices act.
He fnstanced that it would become
SO under the pending act put In the
first night the Legislature met. He
declared that such a course was not
good Judgment, but he acknowl-
edged that tt proceeded from honest
zeal in many instances, displayed by
people whose ideas of reform out
stripped their better Judgment.
Free privilege for nonresident
automobile owners" he said, "ean-
not work satisfactorily in New Jer-
sey. The repairs to raods now are
$I,000. 600 a year, and some one
must pay this cost, and why not the
~autoists who them largely"
MIR. Smith answered a number OF
questions put to him by Senator
Gaant, who presided at the meeting
OF the board. and said that the great
increase in automobiles run over the
past four sars was neo that
The roads to the prominent seashore
resorts were used more by non-resi-
dents than by residents of the state
with their cars, that If free privilege
TO nor-residents we're given, police
protection to residents would hays
to be given, and that the cost Of thfa
latter would be high. He believed
that II the resident autofsts could
see the repairs made necessary by
those of other states who traverse
the state highways to the shore re-
sorts and between New York and
Pennsylyania, that they would ask
for a continuance of the present Inn
tied license privilege to non-resf-
dents He told the farmers that
without registration Joy riders from
Philadelphia and New York would
everun the state and the people
would not tolerate the continuance
OF such a policy, but he admitted
that IL was possible that the LegisIa-
tuFe would grant this.

FIGHT OVER

Opposition to {. !. Edwards

Especial Correspondence.

~ & A0Ko1iRA
Trenton. Jan. Is.--Discussfng the
question of cssetins 3 State Conptroi-
ler to succeed Harry 3. West, Of Cam.
den, whose term expires February %,
next, Senator William, G. Gebhardt, OF
Hunterdon county, declares that he 4
opposed to the election of Edward l.
Edwards, of Jersey City for this impor-
tant post. Mr.. Edwards has the back
ing Of the Hudsno county Democratic
organization and legislative delega-
tion.
L am opposed to the candiday of Mr..
Edwards because he is cashier of the
First National Bank of Jersey City,
and. / am informed, does not intend
to give up his present position il cleo
ted to the COMPREHENSIVE explain
ed Senator Gebhardt. "I do not think
it will accrue to the good scrvicsof
the State or be compatible with a
btrsiness-like administration to select
a man for the important place of Comp
troller who does not intend to devote
all of his time to the job. For this
reason mainly, / I'm opposed to Mr..
Edwards" Senator Gebhardt says that
he Will present the name OF Charles
Holcombe, a prominent business manor
LambertviVe, as a candidate for the
ComptroTiership before the Democratic
rer VI will determine who ii to
be selected.
80 I. .as understood that Assembly
nam Matthews, majority leader Of the
House. intends to present the name OF
Mayor Williams, of High Bridge, IS a
candidate for Comptroller.
The Hudson county delegation are
confident that they will be able to
bring about the choice of Mr.. Ed
wards as a successor to Comptroller
West. They argus that he has had
wide experience In financial affairs as
the head OF the biggest bank in New
Jersey, that he 10 = nj OF unblem-
ished character and is ernineutly fitted
for the office in every way.
Mr.. Edwards was born in Jersey City
December l. 1868. and attended the
public schools Of that city. LAtsr ne
was Graduated FROM the Me-. tork
University. He began his business ear
eer In the First National Bank under
the late e. r. G. Young He Is a
of former Senator William
Edwards, one of New Jerseys fore
most lawyers.
Mr.. Edwards has for wears taken an
interest In politics and was a
close friend of the late Robert Davis,
who before his death expressed a very
strong hope that Mr.. Edwards would
be elected to succeed Comptroller West.
BY the election Of a Democratic
Comptroller the State House Commits
sion will become Democratic. The
commission has charge of all OF the
property.

earnest and businesslike way yester-
day. The governor arrived at the
State House at 1000 A. M. and re-
manned until 4.e0 p. Nj. That Mr..
Wilson plans to be a Woodworking
governor, with practically all of his
energy directed from the State

ment that he will spend at least four
days q week at his official desk. Ex-
cept MI. Stokes, who served from
1905 to 1908, FORMER governors
have seldom spent % than two
days a week In Trenton, not count

The woman had pleaded guilty to

London The case was one of three
tried On the same day-all "Scl-

prisoner was a woman of means,

neye had got into trouble with the
law before and who felt the disgrace
keenly.
The "Selfridge experiment." as 1t
has been called, has had n result

to the won n of the upper classes
an irresistible temptation to steal.
Professional shoplifters give Sci

That Is the American Idea of
catering for business, and Selfrfdge

make themselves at home in the
