TRENTON FIGHT
THE P. R. R.
City Opposes Construction of
Another Bridge Over River

tFroBl the NEWS Corre8poHdent)
Washington, June 5:-On Thurs
day will be fired another gun in the
battle between the city Of Trenton
and the Pennsylvania railroad over
the additional bridge which the road
had planned to construct across the
Delaware some distance below the
present structure. In May, six years
ago, matters had progressed so far
that Congress passed a bill permit
ting the p. R. r. to build the bridge
and a time limit of FIVE years wa9
set. This time limit expired a year
ago, and In the meantime nothing
had been done.
The road now seeks to nave the
time for completing the structure eX-
tended for another five years. In
the meantime, however, the situa-
ton at Trenton has changed.
Through appropriations by Congress
made through the efforts of Con-
gresham Wood, Senator Briggs and
others, Trenton has become In the
way of being a deep water port. An
extensive system of docks is under
way. and there is a fear IN the part
VI LII tlLy anu inc cHdAhDNi VI oOA
merce that the construction of a
new bridge below the city will have
a tendency to bottle Trenton up and
hamper the free use of its water
facilities.
There is no purpose on the part
Of Trenton to hamper the Pennsyl-
yania railroad, but in view of the
fact that the new bridge will not
specially benefit the city, being
planned to take are of through
freight and relieve the present struc-
ture. 1t is felt that no such import
ant step should be taken without the
most careful consideration of the
rights of the city. 1t is argued by
some that the proper solution Of the
problem Is a tunnel underneath the
river.
In order that Congress may be
fully advised as to the facts In the
matter, the Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, Of the
House of Representatives, will hold
a hearing on Thursday, and on Mon
day kilograms were dispatched TO
Trenton city officials and to the
Chamber of Commerce with a view
to securing the presence of a delega-
ton of those opposed to the passage
of the bill now before Congress Cor
the extension of the privilege for
merly had by the P. r. R. The COM
mittee is assured that the city as
well as the railroad will be fully
represented, and it is probable that
early determination of this vcXed
question will soon be arrived at.

LIBRARIANS AT
ASBURY PARK
Former Governor Stokes
Gave Address Yesterday.

Asbury Park, June 5:-Oyer 100
librarians from all parts of the state
are here to attend the four-day In
tttute of library science now In ses-
sion in the Asbury Park Public Ii
brary building. Yesterday only about
a score had arrived when Edward O.
Stokes, former governor, made one
Of the most important addresses Of
the session. Most Of the arrivals
came today. Mr.. Stokes upheld
corporations and told Of the bene-
fit they have done the state of New
Jersey.
The librarians attending the con-
vention who had registered yester-
day afternoon were Miss Sarah B..
Ball, of Newark; Miss Annette M.
Reynard, of East Orange; Miss
Frances w. Winans, of Belmar;
Miss Edna Shelly, of Morristown:
Mrs. Henry F. York, Of Tenafiy;
Miss Ethel Bates, of Elberon; Mrs.
A. NJ. Lupton, Miss Helen G. Clark

Brook; Miss Louise X. Hope, Miss
Edith Hall, Of Trenton; Miss May D.
Bradley, Of Crawford; Miss Mary
Clarkson, Of Long Branch, and Miss
Anna c. Cawley, of Haddonfeld.
Miss Edna Whitman, Of the Pitts
burgh Training School for Children,
of story telling and this afternoon
Miss Corinne Bacon, of the Newark
Public Library, talked on the sub
ject, "a Library That's Alive"
. Former Governor Stokes said in
his address:
Corporations in New Jersey have
been much criticized and, In my
opinion, much abused. Some think
the corporations come to this State
because Of the lax l4ws. New Jer-
sey, as a matter Of fact, has more
stringent corporation laws than any
of her sister states. They come to
New Jersey because of the character
Of our judiciary, our legislature and
our people. They know that they
will not be politically blackmailed
and that the courts give them a
square deal. The next step after
securing a charter Is to locate a
plant and this many of them have
done, like the National Pump works,
along the Passaic."
Governor Stokes divided the states
population into six classes-the ma
tive Jersey man, conservative, hon
est, reliable; the commuter, who
comes to the state for moral tonine
up and whose demand for the mod
ern things of u existence has had
a great effect upon the states prog
ress in all lines; the resort popula.
ton; the foreign, which, he declares,
