Abattoir Also Carried.
The question of authorizing a $685.
900 bond issue for the purpose of
constructing public abattoir, or
slaughter house, was also submitted
at the election and carried by a small
majority.
The vote against the sbattoir was
heavier than against the commission
plan, first, because some citizens
were opposed to the expenditure be-
ing made by the present aldermanic
body, while others didn't like
the looks Of that French word cab

benefit Of the doubt. One otherwise
intelligent elector, when urged to
vote for the abatoir replied, Eyes

The bond issue was authorized by
vote of 65S ayes, $40 nays, this be-
ing the required two-thirds majority.

No organized opposition was mani

several members of the aldermanic

HOURS SPENT STUDYING Law
PRESlDENT-ELECT is WORKING
HARD ON DUTIES.
Announces That He Will Confer With
, Bryan Saturday or
, Sunday.

Trenton, n. j., Dec. 21.-President.
elect Wilson bored studiously for sew
eral hours here over the corporation
laws of New Jersey, with view to
recommending radical changes in
them to the legislature.
After he had worked most of the
day in his capacity as governor, he
listened to formal appeal by United
States Senator Lee Overman of North
Carolina, that Josephus Daniels, ma
tional committeeman from that state
for nearly 20 years, be appointed post
master general in the Wilson cabinet.
The presient-elect made no comment.
He announced also that he would
meet William Jennings Bryan for tha
first time since the election on Satur-
day or Sunday. either at Trenton or
Princeton.
The governors day was concentrat-
ed for the most part on the corpora
tion question. Repeated charges were
made during the national campaign by
both Colonel Roosevelt and Governor
Hiram Johnson that Mr.. Wilson had
failed to put into effect any legisla-
tion curbing trusts that were charter
ed as Jersey corporations. Though
his opponents devoted many speeches
to this argument, Mr.. Wilson never
made a speech of reply. One he tele-
graphed briefly to Senator O'Gorman
of New York. however, an address
which was made public. in which he
declared that as the state Legislature
always had been Republican in one or
both branches he had been unable to
put through his promised program Of
reform. He added also that evils COM
planned Of. in connection with the
trusts mostly concerned federal juris-
diction.
On National politics. the president
elect was most reticent He had moth
ing to say about his approaching visit
with Mr.. Bryan and in recounting the
events of the day passed quickly over
the mention of cabinet appointments.
