RAILROADS VS..
THE GOVERNORS
Steps Taken to Meet Action
Before Supreme Court.
Special by United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wfre.
New York, Sept. 16:-With the
governors Of the states represented
in the House of Governors at the
Spring Lake conference uniting to
fight before the supreme court OF
the United States for the rights Of
the state to fix traffic rates entirely
within he border of the single state,
the railroads are preparing to unite
to urge the court to uphold the de-
cision of Judge sanborn, nullifying
the Minnesota two cent fare law.
Judge Sanborn's decision was her
aided by the railroads as a guaran-
tee that the federal government
would protect capital engaged In
transportation against laws by state
legislature. With the decision came
increased activity in railroad stocks.
The action of the governors in
taking what is called by many the
most radical, course, is generally
condemned in the financial districts.
The governors, however, asserted
that their action was merely for the
purpose of obtaining proper legal
representation before the highest
court. They all admitted, however,
that should the supreme court up
hold the Sanborn decision the state
would "be reduced to more proVin-
ces of a centralized power
Railroad officials declined to dis
cuss the governors action until
their legal departments have agreed
on some united action to oppose that
of the governors.

FREIGHT HERE.
Pennsylvania Railroad viii
Improve Service Immedi-
tely--Promise to Bd.
RESULT OF CONFERENCE
Betterment of Passenger
Service Not Likely at Present
&C. R. R. Meeting Shortly.

Immediate betterment of the
pennsylvania freight service in this
city was promised to a committee
from the Board of Directors of the
Perth Amboy Board of Trade at the
conference yesterday afternoon with
a representative of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company in the Board of
Trades rooms, in this city. The
passenger service was the prime mo-
tive for the session, but the officials
could only promise the directors that
careful consideration will be given
their appeal and relief probably pro-
yided when the change from steam
to electrical motive power between
Newark and New York becomes a
realty.
Reason For the Delay.
For some time, the railroad Off
cials stated, the company has had
under consideration the train SER
vice question in this city, but held in
abeyance a decision owing to the
congestion at Newark, for which no
relief has been found. They declar-
ed that, when the new electrical sys-
TEN gets into good working order,
they expect to better the service here
and other points along this line by
running faster trains to the Metrop-
oils at more frequent intervals.
But the Board of Directors was
advised to prepare letter of the i'm
provements desired and forward
same to General Passeng ger Agent
Sheppard. The officials stated that,
with such Information in hand, more
rapid strides could be made toward
obtaining the needed Improvements.
The trade board feels, although the
existing schedules are far from ade-
quate, that the service could be i'm
proved to mutual advantage. The
representatives from the company
were given a good idea of the condi-
tions of things here and appeared
impressed with the need of better
service.
Freight Question Settled.
Following the discussion of the
passenger traffic the freight question
was taken up and absolute relief
guaranteed by the railroad officials.
Their attention was called to the in
adequate freight house, the danger
GUS approach to the freight cars, and
the delay in the freight transfer at
toned the gang Of young men and
boys to be found around the station
at night and asked the railroad Off
cials If relief could not be provided
in this matter as well. The com
pany will take the appeal under con-
sideration and break up the prac-
tice If possible.
Albert Leon, secretary of the
Board of Directors, said today that
the trade board will hold a confer
ence with the Central railroad Off
cials in few days relative to the
same question. A visit here from
the railroads representatives is ex-
pected next week, Mr.. Leon stated.
Those present at yesterdays session
were: r. J. De Long, district ticket
agent; Mr.. Warrick, district freight
agent; D. P. Olmstead, president of
the Board of Trade; S. M. jacobson,
and Mr.. Leon, comprising a special
committee appointed by the direct
ors.

CONVERY PLACE
REPORT HEARD
Board of Aldermen in Com
mittee Session Plan to Rush
the Extension.
DELEGATION is PRESENT
Feeling Of Residents in That
Section Is Expressed in
Resolution to Council.

Alderman -at-Large William D.
voorhees, stated today that a dele
cation was present last night at the
committee session Of the Board Of
Aldermen, composed OF residents
and taxpayers in Convery place,
bringing again to the attention of
the city fathers the need of the
extension of that thoroughfare. Mr.
voorhees, declared that the project
will be rushed with all possible
speed and an ordinance adopted as
soon as possible. A resolution ap-
pointing committee OF residents
to confer with the aldermen was
adopted at a mass meeting held
Wednesday, September 6.
To Introduce Ordinance.
1t is the intention of the aldermen
to introduce on first reading on
October 2, an ordinance declaring
the opening or extension Of Convery
place, on the northerly side of Lau-
rie street and the southerly side of
Brace avenue. A notice Of inten-
ton to this effect was read at the
Board of Aldermen's meeting on
Tuesday, September s, and unani-
mously adopted. The notice further
stated that the extension will in
clude part Of the lands of the es-
tate of the late Cortlandt Parker,
Hanson Realty Company and others
The streets and sewers committee
were authorized to negotiate with
the owners of said land relative TO
purchasing for the city the much
needed improvement.
Bridge Mush Be Built.
With the extension Of the thor
oughfare comes the interesting
question as to how the Lehigh VAL
ley railroad tracks will be crossed.
The residents in that section of the
city are unanimous in favor of a
bridge over the railroad, and this
suggestion was made to the alder
men last night. The taxpayers, es-
pecially the merchants, declare that
a grade crossing would inconyen-
ience travellers and congest traffic
owing to the unusually long drills
on the tracks in that section. With
this reason as the principally one,
they will campaign for an overhead
bridge.
At the present time land for the
extension has been purchased, sew
side of the railroad and sixty feet
on the southerly side of the tracks
of the Lehigh Valley.
