GOVERNOR STILL
HAS BRIDGE BILL
Has Not Vetoed the Measure
Regarding Maintenance Of
the Amboy Bridge.
MISTAKE ON TiME LIMIT
Ten Brock Informed by Sc
cretary Of State Bill Had
Not Become Law.

Senate bill No. 355, which pro-
vides that the state assume one
third of the expense of maintenance
of the county bridge over the Rari-
tan river, between this city and
South Amboy, has not been vetoed
by Governor Woodrow Wilson, as
announced yesterday. The measure
Is one Of five or six still held under
advisement by Governor Wilson,
who has neither signed nor vetoed
the bill. The governor can return
the bill, signed or vetoed as the case
may be, at his pleasure after the
legislature adjourns. and not neces-
sarily within five days after report
ed to him as during the legislative
session.
Assemblyman John F. Ten Broeck
of this city, who strongly supported
the bill and followed Its course from
It's introduction until presented to
the governor, received communi-
cation from Secretary of State David
Crater, In which was stated that
Bill 355 has not become a law"
Assuming that Governor Wilson
had vetoed the measure, Mr.. Ten
Broeck then sent communications
to the Perth Amboy newspapers In
which he declared that the COVER
nor had vetoed the measure. He
added that If 1t had become law II
would have meant the saving OF
$4,000 every year for Middlesez
county. The local newspapers play.
ed up the matter in yesterday
Issues.
The EVENING NEWS correspon.
dent at Trenton looked up the pro.
gress Of the bill today and learned
the true facts in the case. He dis
covered that Governor Wilson hat
the measure still under considera.
ton although declining to state. FOL
the present, his attitude on the
same.
Mr.. Ten Brock was misled II
his statement, thinking that as the
time limit for signing bills had ex-
pired, and as the secretary of state
said it was not law, he thought
the governor had vetoed 1t. The
assemblyman, however, evidently
forgot that as the legislature had
adjourned, the time limit did not
apply any longer.

GOVERNMENT STEPS IN
Officials Offer Mediation in Eneinssrs'
Proposed Strike anu Order 70 Quit 10
Held Up-Railway Managers Prob
ably Will Accept.

New York. April 23.-The offer OF
mediation from Charles p. Neill, I'm
tied States labor commissioner. and
Judge Martin A. Knapp. OF the United
States commerce court. which was ac-
cepted by the brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers last night just after
they had declared for strike as the
next move in the campaign for In
creased wages, came formally before
the conference committee OF railway
managers today.
That the eleventh hour proffer OF
mediation OF officials of the United
States government will also be accept
ed by the railroads was the general
belief this morning Judge Knapp Is
expected here from Washin gton this
afternoon.
The demands for increased wages
were made by the engineers on fifty
railroads east of Chicago and north
of the Potomac river. and Grand Chief
Stone said that strike order would
affect $4,000 engine drivers. In turn
the engineers strike would throw 200,-
900 firemen, trainmen. conductors ana
other employees out of work.
J. c. Stuart, chairman of the confer
ence committee OF railroads. has called
a meeting of the conference committee
for this morning to consider the media

Cedar Rapids, April 23.-As side

standpatter. Of Wellsburg. all stopping
at the hotel on Tuesday Of last week,
the day of the conference. Mayor
Lightner. OF Cedar Rapids, is reported
to have said that Mr.. Tobin waited on
him with request that he run against
Good before Barber was approached.
and Goods friends say that Lightner
was able to see that Tobn was to be
the real candidate at the show down.
At any rate Lightner refused to run
and at the last moment Barber was
secured. He had only two days in which
to get his papers signed and he may
fail. hence he refused today to say
whether he would run or not.
He is an attorney here, and owns
weekly publication called The Optimist.
It seems to be the opinion In Cedar
Rapids that if Good must have opposi-
ton it were far better for Good that 1t
be Barber than almost any one else.
