PATERSON LOSES
FIRST BOUT IN
NEW WATER sui
Condemnation and Appraisal
Commission, Asked by Munich
palities, Granted by Court.

PATTERSON, Jan. 1.-Surrene
Court Justice Minturn this afternoon
granted the application Of the munie-
ipalities of Harrison, Kearny, East
Orange, Glen Ridge, Bayonne and
Jersey City and the Montclair Water
Company for the appointment Of a
commission to condemn and appratee
the value OF the water front property
In the city of Paterson In, East and
West Side parks. Engine Company No
in Water street and the property of
the Chestnut Hill Land Company.
The application was opposed by the
city of Paterson in a hearing which
started this morning and lasted until
well into the afternoon. AT the conclu-
sion of the hearing Justice Minturn
granted the city of Paterson writ of
certiorari, which will bring the case
before the fun Supreme Court for re-
view and will prevent the commission
named today from taking any action.
The contention of tho city of Paterson
was that the various municipalities
were being used In the action now
pending in behalf of the East Jersey
Water Company and that the water
snake" was In reality behind the move.
Bnsing Action.
In the present action each OF the
petitioners asks the right to take water
from the Psssaic river. Some time ago
each of the petitioners made the city
Of Paterson a nominal offer Of $40 for
this right This cffer, which was re-
jected by the city. was the basis OF the
present action. The city's grounds for
refusing the offer was that the with
drawal of more water from the river
would menace the city's water supply
and would particularly affect the et1i-
cheney of the fire department
Justice Miuturn overruled the objec-
tions and appointed as appraisers Dis
trict Judges William l. Lewis, of Pat
erson: Thomas r. Watson, of Passaic,
and James A Bergen, of Paterson.
William ID. Gourley and Ex-Governor
Briggs, special counsel for respondents
in the case, were granted writ of GER
tiorari, to take the matter before the
Supreme Court, which acts as a tenn
porary stay to further proceedings
pending a decision.
Mr.. Corhin. OF Collins 81 Corbin. ap-
peared for the petitioners, who based
their plea on the old State law of 1876,
WHICH gives HlulllNipstlllleS lllt Il5liI Az
condemn land anywhere in the State
for the purposes of acquiring water
supply
Paterson contended that municipal
ties have no right under that law to
condemn land for water supply, unless
it is clearly shown that they contem-
plate the erection of municipal plants
of their own. Otherwise, II was con-
tended, no right existed.
1t was declared, in behalf Of the re-
spondents, that the testimony and re-
recent decisions in the East Jersey
Water Company suit apply In the
present action. In that suit 1t was
shown that the nominal flow of the
Passaic river is 100000 gallons of
water per day. but that In dry seasons
the river is often practically dry.
It is contended that the removal of
further water from the river would
render it almost useless as source of
supply for Paterson.

TWENTY-FIVE BILLS
INTRODUCED IN The
OPENING SESSION
One Hundred and Thirty-ifth
Legislature Begins Its
LabOrs.
trron, a Staff Correspondent. j

TRENTON. Jan. 11.-Apart from the
introduction Of twenty-five bills In the
Senate and the holding of joint
caucus by the Democrats, who have a
majority Of twenty-one on joint ballot,
there was nothing unusual to mark
the opening of the 135th session of the
Legislature here yesterday.
Eight Of the twenty-five bills were
introduced by Senator Gebhardt. They
embody most of the reforms pledged in
the Democratic platform, such as ex-
tension Of the direct primary to all
elective officers; rate-making power for
the Public Utility Commission; en-
ployers liability, and the corrupt
practices act.
Auto Bill Introduced.
The same subjects, only in different
form, were covered in three bills intro
duced by Majority Leader Prince; six
by Senator Nichols, five by Senator
Edge two by Senator Gaunt and one
by Senator Leavitt The Edge bills
ernbody the automobile reciprocity
measure which he favored last year
in the assembly, and another concern
ing the use of motor boats.
Both Senator Gaunt and Nichols in
troduced bills to abolish the county
boards of taxation, and the latter IS
sponsor for another measure permit
ting the hunting Of wild deer, which has
been prohibited for several years un-
da1 h1= 1oxn %
the time on which such hunting Is
allowed.
Must File List of Expenses.
The corrupt practise act is interest
ing in many ways 1t requires all
candidates to file an itemized list of
campaign expenses and limits the
amount which each may expend. The
governor heads the fixed maximum
limit with $4,000, but candidates for
city office in Newark or Jersey City
NAV expend more than that amount.
The limit for municipal offices Is
placed at $500, where the population is
5000 or less, with a further allowance
of SO for each 100 population in excess
of 5000 That would make 1t possible
for a candidate for mayor or even
City Home trustee in Newark to ex-
pend approximately $1,000, while the
candidate for governor would be lim-
tied to $4,000.
Other elective state officers than
governor-which includes justices of
the peace-may expend $4,000. congress
sional and presidential electors $4,000
State senators $4,000 and assemblymen
81, 600. 1t is probable that the bill will
be materially amended before IT,
reaches final passage even in the Sem
ate.
Arrangements for inaugural Complete.
All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the Inauguration of Gov
ernor-elect Wilson, which will take
place in the Taylor Opera House at
noon next Tuesday. At that hour the
Legislature will assemble on the opera
house stage and the oath of Office will
be administered by Chief Justice Will

LIQUOR BILL KILLED.

The House Wednesday afternoon
settled the question of e-wide,
up-to-date prohibition versus local
option by defeating, 1875 to 70, the
bill, yesterday ordered to third
reading, which provides for state
central liquor agency, and which. as
amended, would mean statewide
prohibition and a repeal OF the pres.
ent license law. This is the bill that
had the referendum attachment. 1t
was favored by Mr.. Burbank of
Cabot, who was sponsor for it, Mr..
Wells of Wardsboro, and Others.
The bill granting $4,000 sub
sidy to the state fair and the COM
panion bill appropriating a like
amount to be divided among the
county fairs were called up in the
Senate Wednesday.

Mr.. Foster Not for War.

Congressman d. j. Foster opposes
the fertilization OF the Panama canal,
and in clear and convincing speech
before the New York Peace society
he gave his reasons for not joining
the clustering militarists who would
line the new waterway with forts.
soldiers, guns and ammunition.
There is no treaty obligation to
prevent our expenditure of $780,
100000 for garrisons and guns
nothing except the folly of it and the
burden which the maintenance of
Notifications would entail on future
generations, who will also pay some
of the bills for the construction of
the canal.
With the nations of the earth
agreeing to our rules of neutrality,
says Congressman Foster, 'the forti-
fications would be not only unneces-
sary, but crime against civilization
and criminal expenditure of the
peoples money"
Mr.. Foster looks we'll and speaks
well as an advocate of peace, and the
folks at home will praise his pacific
sentiments.

Homemade Valentine.

The 14th of February has come
around again, and, of course, every
body Is beginning to think of valen-
tines. Perhaps you may be glad to
have few ideas for homemade" val
entipes, which are always prettier and
more interesting than those you buy.
Take an envelope of any shape de-
sired and open it out fat by slipping
a knife underneath the flap and so
loosening the mucilage. On the inside
print the following verse:
To you 1 send, dear Valentine
This faithful little heart of mine.
Its every beat Is full OF love
For you, my own dear turtledove.
The word heart may be pictured in
stead of printed or cut out and pasted
TO the envelope. The same way with
the turtledoye the turtle being green
and the dove o soft gray.
Fasten the envelope again and on
the outside write:
II you but break, dear Valentine,
This binding seal Of wax and twipe
And look beneath you'll surely see
The greatness of my love for thee.
Tie 1t with a piece Of red Irvine or
ribbon, then seal 1t with red wax or
any other color you happen to have,
and the valentine is complete.

side last fall, may enter President
Taft's. cabinet after March 4. Rumor
frst selected Mr.. Tawney for the
Panama canal commission, but later
asserted that he would succeed Sec
rotary Balllnger when congress ad-
journs. Friends are working in his
behalf and assert there is no doubt of
his fitness and that the appointment
would be popular.
Twice chairman of the house COM
mittee on appropriations, Mr.. Tawney
for many years has been prominent

itics. Nine successive times he was
the choice of his constituents In. the
First district of Minnesota, then he was
defeated in the primaries for renomi-
nation. This reversal of the opinion
of the voters was due 70 insurgency.
Mr.. Tawney was criticised for his &C.
ton on the Aldrich-Payne bill, for his
support of Speaker Cannon and for
his stand pat attitude generally.
Congressman Tawnsy Is native Of
Pennsylvania and learned the black
smiths trade in the shop of his father.
In 1877 he removed to Winona, Mimi,
and worked at his trade until admit
ted to the bar in 1882. Heewas elect

invented by a New Jersey man. The
machine is in the form of cylinder
which can be clamped fast to the
kitchen table and which has lid
hinged to the top. Inside the cylinder
is q spiral blade which Is operated by
handle at one end, The dough is
poured inside, and as the handle turns
1t mixes and kneads by compression
against the ends of the cylinder. The
consistency of the dough can be
judged by the difficulty with which
the handle works without the trouble
of lifting the lid. This method Of
kneading is not only much easier and
quicker than doing the work by band,
but is more sanitary II the machine

lowing the heated discussions of the
past few days over the normal school
question A resolution was offered
calling upon Superintendent Stone
for detailed account of the expenses
of his Greater Vermont barn
storming campaign, but this did not
prevail with the loval legislators,
and instead, as more polite way of
looking into Mr.. Stones activities, a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the administration Of the super
;ntendent's office, and report to the
General Assembly.
1t is denied that this mild attack
on Mr.. Stone was inspired by the
interests which have been opposing
his central normal school PROPOSE
ton. though he is not backward in
booming his various educational
schemes and will give any opponent
a good run at any time. His vocal
and physical abilities in urging his
convictions are to be reckoned with,
and he seldom gets through with a
session of the Legislature without
stirring up little resentment.
