Information was received in this
city today by telegram that Bill No.
%, introduced by Assemblyman
John F. Ten Brock, of Perth AM
boy, became a law this morning
when Governor Woodrow Wilson
affixed his signature to the much
discussed document. His action was
received with much favorable COM
ment by Republicans in this city.
who are distinctly favored by the
passage of the bill. 1t is the con-
tention of former Judge Adrian
Lyon, who drafted the measure, that
1t has local application and provides
for the succession of Alderman at
Large Ferd. Garretson, Republican,
to the chair of acting mayor, now
occupied by Vice-president l.. c.
Dalton, Democrat.
Garretson VIII Act.
Mr.. Garretson received a telegram
at noon from Mr.. Ten Brock, ad-
vising him of the favorable action
of Governor Wilson, and he imme-
diately tried to get in touch with
Judge Lyon. The latter is out of
town this afternoon, as is City. At
torney G. G. Hommann, and Mr..
Garretson has decided to immedi-
ately take up the duties of his new
office. The Board of Aldermen meet
tonight, but no questions of import
will come up for discussion, Mr..
Garretson states Therefore, there
will be no decided clash between
the Republican and Democratic
forces at this evenings session over
the office of acting mayor.
Democrats Think Differently.
Democratic leaders contend that
the bill. as amended In the senate,
has no bearing upon the aldermanic
situation in this city. They agree.
however, that it provides for the
succession of the alderman-at-Iarg
or President of Common Council, In
case of removal or disability, from
any cause whatsoever, of the mayor
of any city in the state. The Demo-
Gratis hold that it does not effect
present situations, but only those
which may hereafter occur. 1t is
understood that the Democrats will
continue the fight by asking for &
decision on the A.estion fgnsTssssg 4 4 !
court. Quo warranto Proceedings
are now in the supreme court yet
undecided, and the decision will
have direct bearing upon the local
situation.
Dalton Is Silent.
Mr.. Dalton, when called on the
telephone this afternoon, asked to
be excused from making any re-
marks on the situation at this time.
He will confer with City Attorney

ARBITRATION
TO BE URGED
Trade Board to Send Reso-
Iutions to Coal Operators.

President I. C. Moore, of the
Board of Trade, has called special
meeting of the Board Of Directors
for this afternoon or tomorrow, at
which time resolutions will be offer
ed for adoption dwelling upon the
probable injury to local industries il
the contemplated coal strike becomes
effective The resolutions will also
urge an arbitration of differences be-
tween the coal operators and miners,
and will provide that a copy of the
resolutions be forwarded to the in
terested principals. The meeting
will be held In the rooms of the
Board of Trade, in the Scheuer build
ing, and all directors present will be
asked to sign the resolutions.
Interest has been displayed by the
directors Of the trade board because
of the probable injury a coal tie-up
would cause to the output of Perth
Amboy's many factories. Another
cause for action, Mr.. Moore states, Is
the fact that the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company has large coal pockets here
and, naturally, are restrained from
a rush of business as heretofore.
The Susquehanna Coal Company, in
South Amboy, also handles a large
amount of coal daily and furnishes
employment to many men.
Alderman-at-large Ferd. Garrett
son Is also interested In the proba-
biHty of coal strike, from a local
standpoint, and will bring the mat
ter up tonight in committee session
Of the Board Of Aldermen. Mr.. Gar
retson will suggest that resolution
be passed similar to the one now
under consideration by the Board of
Trade.

Hearing at Trenton Yesterday.
fFrom the NEWS CorrespofIdent.I
Trenton, Mar. 22.-The political
fight in Perth Amboy over the ques-
tion of the Acting Hayor reached
Governor Wilson today when he
gave hearing on the bill by Mr..
Ten Brock, the Republican Assem-
blyman from Middlesex county, pro-
viding that the Republican Vice
President of Common Council shall
be Acting Mayor. Charles G. Hom-
mann argued the case for the Demo-
Gratis and the chief speaker for the
Republicans was Judge Adrian S.
Lyon.
Mr.. Hommann spoke fl-.. and
urged the governor not to sign the
bill, which passed both houses. He
questioned the constitutionality of
the act. He insisted that the only
purpose of the bill was to meet the
present situation in Perth Amboy
and that the city had legal gov
ernment which should not be inter-
fered with. The place to settle the
question, he contended, was in the
supreme court In the suit now pend
ing.
Lyon Reviews Case,
Judge Lyon reviewed the entire
case, showing that under the Perth
Amboy charter the mayor presided
over council, which elected vice
president to act in his absence In
1891 an act was passed for an alder
-man-at-large and the mayor ceased
to be president of the council. Ever
since 1t had been considere that by
implication the Office of vice presi-
dent as acting mayor also ceased
He said the election for alderman
at-large last fall was largely fought
on the issue that the alderman-at-
large should be acting mayor
He showed that after election the
alderman-at-large acted as mayor
short time in place of Mayor
Bollschweiler, who was chosen sher-
iff. Then the old provision was In
yoked and vice president of council
was elected to become acting Mayor
= u speaker said the law was only
wanted ~ up q & d Isac,s., =
Governor Wilson rafsed the quas-
ton as to NWho& woHld be aeffffg
mayor between the election next Mo-
vember and January 1, 1913, and
there was difference of opinion on
this. Mr.. Hommann claimed there
would be vacancy, While Judge
Lyon insisted there would not be.
Walter ID. Van Syekei, of New
Brunswick, also spoke and favored
the position taken by Jud.,e Lyon.
Governor Wilson did not indicate
what he proposed to do with the bill.

he was saying, so he proposed that
they build booths and tarry on the
mountain top. We could reproach
Peter If this we're his serious and
mature thought; it was only one Of
his vagrant impulses, as unconsid-
cred as the wish of some convention
goers that they might prolong the
precious experience of fellowship and
inspiration forever. To Peter the
mountain top seemed better than the
valley of humiliation. He preferred
the glory to the cross.
But Peter had missed the point Of
it all. That pinnacle Of outlook was
only one station on the road of serv-
ice. Life must be lived on the plan;
but it may be lived in the power Of
the TRANSPORTATION mount. The real
ity of the ecstatic experience Is to
be proved down amid the people,
with all their common needs. Life
is not made up Of transports; love
cannot exist on kisses. Duty is the
normal expression of devotion.
So these friends were to take the
great secret, shared with them by
Jesus, and to bear 1t out amid the
uncomprehending suffering multi
tudes; and therein to be borne up by
it. They had had a great hour, which
would hearten them through the
dark days. To them had been given
the look that should lift life up to
higher plane.
The Voice From the Clouds.
From every aspect this wonderful
event on the mountain top was an
experience in witness-bearing. By 1t
Jesus testified to the disciples, by it
Moses and Elijah testified to Jesus.
Then, GROWING all, the voice from
heaven testified to Christ. All these
jointly bear testimony to the world.
The event was tremendously
staged. Some minds balk at it, as
too full of marvel and miracle. Why
should it not be accompanied by the
most extraordinary accessories, for
here was uttered the greatest truth
of all the ages, This is my beloved
son, in whom l am we'll pleased; hear
We him" Heaven has no higher
function than to testify to earth of
Gods love, as revealed in his son.
The message of the TRANSPORTATION is
the deepest truth for the times, This
is my beloved son, hear ye him."

meant. The depth of fellowship ex-

our ken. Upon these followers had
dawned the truth that their associa-
ton with their leader was not to be
permanent. Sadness overshadoWed
the company. Then followed the con-
trast, the TRANSPORTATION which en-
abled them to look higher than the
cross to what lay beyond.
Sharing a Secret. o..
Partly because they were fittest
and closest to his heart for there
are degrees in the friendship Of Jesus
but more because they were to be
the leaders in service, and therefore
most needed this equipment, the
three familiars of the master, Peter,
James and John, were taken up to
the heights Of Mt. Hermon with him.
High was their privilege, but deep
was their obligation. 1t has been
said that Christ comforts us, not to
make us comfortable, but to make
us comforters. This TRANSPORTATION
experience was an equipment for
ministry. The three were taken into
the confidence of Jesus; they shared
MS great SoCTSI, "llCu IAoy S1Aouiu
keep within their 3. breasts until the
time was ripe for it's full revelation.
The subsequent ~ experiences Of Col
gotha and the garden were to be
illuminated by the shining light seen
on the Mount of TRANSPORTATION.
Like burrs or sbarbs, bible phrases
have a way of sticking. Thus We
read that it was "as he was pray
ing" that all these things came to
pass. The TRANSPORTATION expert
ence was mountain-top prayer
meeting. Now, as then, it is the
prayer-filled life that has its trans
figuration moments, and beholds the
redeemer as he Is.
The outshInIng Of an Inner Light.
Suddenly befell the miracle. The
three Galileans saw their friend,
with whom they had eaten and slept,
and travelled, begin to glow in his
person with a clustering light. His
whole being radiated Wilderness and
luminosity The entire texture of
his person and his clothes became
aglow. They sought in vain for
something with which to compare
the wonderful vision. They said
that his clothes became glistening,
exceeding white; so as no fuller on
earth can whiten them" The very
fiber of the masters body and raj
ment was luminous. He was not
clothed upon with light coming from
without; this was the outshining of
an inner glow. 1t was as If the veil
were momentarily drawn aside and
the true nature Of the divine son
made apparent. On this mountain
top was afforded revelation of the
glorious possibilities Of the life of
the redeemer and his own. 1t was
veritable glimpse Of the heavenly
appearance. E
