SOUTH RIVER

.,sotal to the EVENING NEWS.

South River, June IA large
barn. in Thomas street, owned by
Abraham Burkelew, was almost to-
tally destroyed by fire last night at
about 9 D.. m. The origin of the fire
is not known, but seemed to come
from the hay NOW and had gained
considerable Roadway before it was
discovered.
An alarm was sent in from box
of fremen responded Immediately.
II and Chief Manahan and his corps
At this time, however, the entire
building was a mass of flames, which
Illuminated the whole business sec
ton of the borough and caused no
little anxiety for a time.
Again the excellent pressure and
copious flow of the water system
proved it's value and when the
stream hit the building the flames
quickly disappeared.
Two horses belonging to Ross
Hendrickson, plumber, were stabbed
in the barn, and were rescued by the
thoughtfulness of friends shortly
after the flames were seen. Esti-
mate of the damage is not given.
The main loss was the building and
the hay stored in it:

PLAN CHANGES
FOR ASSEMBLY
State House Commission Con-
slider Altering of Chamber.
(From the NEWS Correspondent


Trenton, June 1.-THE commit
tee appointed by the assembly last
winter, under a resolution intro
duCed by Mr.. De Unger, of Camden,
to suggest changes to the interior of
the assembly chamber, has held a
meeting and has asked State House
Custodian Weseman to suggest
plans. Mr.. Wesemau has referred
the matter to the State House Com
mission.
The changes are desired to give
the assembly more privacy during
its session and to prevent the inter
ruption of legislation by the noise
in the lobby of the chamber. The
only division between the floor of
the assembly chamber where the
assemblymen sit and the lobby is a
brass railing and during nearly
every session of the assembly the
lobby becomes filled with spectators
and those Interested in legislation,
and frequently the buzz of CONVEX
sation becomes SO loud as to drown
the proceedings of the legislators.
Speaker after speaker has struggled
with the evil and the only way to
stop the noise has been summarily
to clear the lobby of all persons in
it.
One of the propositions is to re-
move the brass railing and in its
place put a partition, the upper por-
ton being of glass, with the neces-
sary doors leading to the main as
sembly floor. . This would be some
what similar to the arrangement of
the senate chamber, except none of
the partition there is glass. 1t is
claimed that if such a partition were
erected, with a doorkeeper at each
door, much iof the evil complained
of would be eliminated. 1t would
not, however, prevent one phase of
the cause for complaint, which is
that during every session the privi-
leges of the floor are extended by
resolution to scores of ex-assembly-
men and others. This permits the
favored ones to pass inside the
brass railing and fill up the two
sides Of the chamber Immediately in
the rear of the desks of the mem
bers. Conversation goes on here as
much as in the lobby. No changes
that could be made in the arrange
ment of the chamber would stop
this, the only remedy being either to
abolish the custom of giving the
privileges of the floor to non-mem-
bers, or to prohibit conversation al
together among those who are per-
mitted to pass inside OF the railing.
That the noise in the chamber Is a
serious interference with the proper
consideration of legislation has long
been admitted, and those interested
in good laws declare that something
should be done about It.
