State Comptroller to Divide
About S1,250,00O in Next

UNDER LAW JUST PASSED
0thermis SO Would Not Have

UNDER LAW JUST PASSED
sDsofo, to tae EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, April 28:-Under senate
bill No 275, approved by Governor
Wilson yesterday afternoon, provid-
ing for distribution of certain school
money within five days, the school
districts of the state will receive
about 100000 from the state
comptroller at once unless the bill as
approved shall be held to be irreg-
uIar. The sum to be distributed is
one-half of the railroad taxes collect
ed about one year ago and under the
old law would not have been dis
tributed to the schools until June 15.
Detailed information as to the dis
trfbution of this money was refused
in the Office Of the state comptroller
today until the bill Just approved was
given a thorough study. The claim
WAS made that the act was curiously
drawn and there was some fnclina-
ton to withhold the money on tech
nicality, the only point being to un-
derstand thoroughly Just what the
bill provided. He said the money
was In hand and could be distributed
any time. 1t is presumed that with
in five days the whole sum will be in
the hands of the county collectors
ready for distribution to the school
districts.

PAY PATIENTS ARE TO
CHOOSE OWN DOCTORS
Hospital Governors Pass Resolution
After Committee Reports FavorabIy
--All County Physicians Permitted.
VICTORY AFTER LONG BATTLE

BY a unanimous vote Of nine at
tending members, the Hospital Board
OF Governors last night approved q
resolution allowing pay patients In
the city hospital to choose the physi-
clan or surgeon he or she may de-
sire, to have prescribe for and attend
him or her, and the bylaws of the
association will be altered according
ly.
This action on the part of the gov
ernors Is the elimination of long
agitation On the part Of local people
to have the hospital open to all ply
sicians. Up to the present time only
the staff physicians have been al
lowed to treat patients in the hospi-
tai. This same resolution was SUBJ
mitted by j. s. Wight, at the annual
meeting of the hospital governors
last month and was voted down by a
narrow margin. A committee was
appointed to investigate conditions
In other hospitals in the east. AS the
result of their investigations, as to
the course followed In other hospi-
tails, they recommended that Mr..
Wight's recommendation be adopted.
Questioned Other Hospitals.
The investigating committee con-
sisted of William D. Voorhees,, DR..
M. s. Meinzer, s. R. Harrington, w.
H. Griswold and P. A. Johansen.
They communicated with 125 hospi-
tails, having from twenty to 100 beds,
located In New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode
Island. Upon obtaining the concen-
sus of opinion from the hospitals re-
plying, the committee recommended

MEMBERS FOR
NAT |. GUARD
Company Practically Assured
--TWenty Enrolled.

Perth yAmboy is now practically
assured of company representation
In the National Guard of this state.
Twelve local enthusiasts gathered
last night. in the Adams Express
Company's Office through the cour-
tesy of the local agent, Walter H.
Underwood, who is giving all the
assistance possible, as former army
officer, in the formation of the local
company. Eight who could not at
tend last nights meeting sent their
endorsement of the movement and
will attend the next meeting in the
interests OF the proposed company to
be held next Tuesday night at the
same place.
In other words twenty local young
men have Joined in with the move
ment and 1t only means that each
must get two more members to as
sure full company quota of sixty
This seems to be assured. Perth
Amboy is in line for admission to
the Second Regiment, where there Is
vacancy, and the chances of this
city being assigned a company If a
full enrolment is assured seems to
be good
Among the local Candidates to
membership to the local company
are two from the New Brunswick
Company, two from the Elizabeth
Company and four from the Plain
field Company. It will be seen that
with the formation of a company
here fair background of expert
enced men Is assured. Mr.. Under
wood, as a former army and nation
al guard officer, has volunteered to
bring the company into shape as a
drillmaster.

RATE TO THIS
CITY is FAIR
New Jersey Produce Company
Lesss Case Against R. R.
specia, to the EVENING NEWS.

special to the EVENING NE WE.
Trenton, April 2s:-1n memor-
andum Issued today, the State Board
of Utility Commissioners dismisses
the complaint of the New Jersey Pro-
duce Company against the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey
concerning the rate on shipments of
peaches between Lebanon and Perth
Amboy. The complaint alleged that
the railroad company during last
August accepted peaches for ship
ment between the stations named at
the rate of twenty-four cents per one
hundred pound and that thereafter
1t refused to receive shipments at
this rate. The testimony in the case
established this allegation.
The memorandum shows that the
Central railroad maintains during
the Peach season" a special service
for the transportation of peaches and
this has led to the PRONUNCIATION of
two rates, first rate of twentyfour
cents per hundred pounds for less
than car load shipments and sixteen
cents per hundred pounds for car
load shipments. This was equivalent
to six cents per basket on the peach
,es The second rate was local
commodity rate of thirty-six cents
per hundred pounds or nine cents per
basket.
Under the commodity rate a spec
-ial service was provided and the
movement of the freight was expedit-
ed. The testimony showed that the
produce company received the spec
ial service which the local commodity
rate applied. Under this special
service shipments OF peaches were
transported to Perth Amboy daily In
time for market, whereas had they
not had the special commodity SER
vice they would have gone forward
by slower freight and would not have
arrived in time for market Decid-
ing the case further, the board says:
''It appears then that the COM
plainant has received the special
service, but has, through some
agency error paid less than the local
commodity rate applicable to the
service. The complaint herein is
therefore dismissed"

London, April 28:-London' an
swer to President Taft's proposal for
an arbitration agreement between
England and America was given
today in a huge meeting in Guild
Hall, attended by the foremost men
in England. They gave their unqual-
flied approval of the plans.
The meeting was presided over by
the Lord Mayor of Lendon, Sir
Thomas Strong, and Premier Az
Quith, Arthur J. Balfour and other
leading statesmen participated.
81 doubt whether Guild Hall was
ever used for a more worthy pur-
pose" Premier Asquith declared.
This peace meeting cannot be said
to be due to prearrangements, or the
operation of the usualS1iplomatic af-
fairs. President Taft scattered the
seed and it fell on ground prepared
to receive it. Only few months ago
such an object as bringing about
this meeting, which Is destined to be-
come historic, might have been con-
sidered dream. Now, we all admit
that 1t comes within practical states
menship."
The premier expressed the hope
that still greater things than the An
glo-Ameriean compacts might follow
the action of these two countries.
This meeting records the most i'm
portant victory In the relations be-
tween England and America" he
went on to say. ''It is unnecessary
for me to say that the proposed
agreement is without menace to the
rest OF mankind"
Other speakers, including Balfour,
followed the premier, at the conclu-
sion of which the premier moved the
following resolution which was
adopted with the greatest enthusi-
asm:
THAT this meeting OF citizens cor
daily welcome the proposal Of the
President of the United States OF q
general treaty of arbitration between
that country and the British en-
pire."

Nowhere In Biblical Lore Can There

We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature Of the Saviour
when We picture him going through
life. as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
Of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there is no hint Of such
foreboding until we reach the mid
die Of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead Of him, and was
at times pressed down with dread
full sense Of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
II God did not intend us to laugh.
on occasion, why did he endow US
