Tuesday there are only III statements
of the acetylene gas and his
friends against the Senator. What
Fitzherbert then said is not part of
any legislative record and there may
be a fight about allowing II to stand
as evidence against him. There were
several newspaper men at that session,
however, all of whom made notes Of
everything that Fitzherbert said. Some
of the questions put to the Senator by
the members of the judiciary commit
tee were so pointed and his replies so
unexpected that there would probably,
even after a lapse of several days, be
substantial agreement among those
present on what was said.
Senator Edge is the majority leader
in the Senate, but the investigation
over which he will preside will be con-
Quoted with the least possible delay to
the deliberations OF the upper house.
Frank s.. KatZenbach, of Trenton, had
been retained as counsel by the acety-
lene raj people before the matter came
to a head at the Tuesday hearing and
1t Is likely that he will be present when
the probe starts.
An attempt is being made to have
DR.. Ridner on hand, too. The commit
tee has the power to enforce the at
tendance of witnesses. and If DR.. Rid
ner does not appear of his own accord
q subpoena may be served upon him.
Ridner and F~1tzherbert have had a
conference since the happenings of
Tuesday.
It is said that Mr.. F%itzherbert will
maintain before the judiciary commit
tee that he was willing to take the re-
quest of the a~cetylene company to
withdraw the bills to DR.. Ridner, but
that promise of a money consideration
did not Influence him To La 4hat

But when he says the country should forthwith be saved from me

With a Whistle

Blind men will hereafter have the
privilege of stopping traffic by means
of a whistle while crossing Newark

The organization petitioned the
Board of Police Commissioners for the
right to put the scheme in operation
6n this city. The request was granted.
1t was suggested that one style of
whistle should be used for this special
traffic warning.
