Jersey City voters decide this sum-
mer for commission government. was
beaten in the House yesterday by a
majority of seventeen.
Mr.. McDermott of Hudson, dis
closed the joker in the Agnew bill,
which provided for several changes
in the Walsh commission government
act. Under the Agnew bill the Mayor
would be elective by the people in

FULL CREW LAW
PLATFORM PLEDGE
Governor Fielder Explains Why
He Signed the Measure
Fought by Railroads.
OFrom Stan Correspondence

TRENTON, N. j., April 2.-Refer-
ring to his action last night in sign
ing the full crew bill, Governor
Fielder said today:
II know this proposition has re-
ceived the attention of the Legis-
lature for several years past. Two
previous houses have passed it and
now the House and Senate have
again passed by substantial MAORI
ties
During all this time the railroads
have never submitted any substitute
proposition that would relieve the
situation. They have contented them
selves with opposing this bill. /
think that everybody will admit that
at least some trains are under
manned and that there is always
danger to passengers and to en-
ployees on freight trains.
Utility Law Inadequate.
Il don't believe that the present
public utility law Is sufficiently broad
to properly determine this question.
This matter was a platform pledge
of the Democratic party, and it was
largely such pledges as this and a
constitutional convention and jury
reform that made the Legislature
Democratic this year."
In the face of opposition from pres
idents of all the big railroads running
through this State, and from re-
quests of 1,400 kilograms, Governor
Fielder last night signed the Egan
fullacrew bill 1t prescribes particu-
larly the number of brakemen which
shall be required on freight and pas
senger trains.
The executives office was flooded
with wire messages asking him
not to sign the bill, the majority
of these, at least, coming from the
same source, as they were nearly
| duplicates indicating that the rail-
roads had spent about $500 in theil
efforts to prevent the bill from be.
coming a law.
The Governor affixed his signature
to the measure several hours aftei
he had granted the railroads g
lengthy hearing. The hearing was g
notable one. in that it brought sc
many railroad men here. Theil

that it required them unnecessarily tc
spend money and that it was a ques
ton which more properly should b.
left to the Public Utilities Com.
mission.
Brakemen and their Representatives
asked the Governor to sign the bill
claiming 1t was necessary for the pro
lection of life and that it was mo-
possible to make the utilities com

manned properly The act does not

on the stand. She declared she was a
party to the arrangement for the no.

cause Mrs. Faust and her party were
late. Faust grew so nervous, she
said, that he paced the corridor, but
when the scene was over, Mr.. Faust
and his wife left the hotel discuss
ing it.

NIGHT MEN GET BOOZE,
BUT NOT LOBSTER PALACES

NEW YORK, April 2,-Mayor Gay
nor's slight modification yesterday of
his edict that selling of drinks must
cease in the city after / a. m. did not
affect the lobster palaces" and the
cabaret shows at that hour this
morning. The mayor relented only
enough to raise the ban upon few
of the saloons largely patronized by
night workers. The fashionable after
theatre throngs who visited the upper
Tenderloin restaurants and cafes
found themselves ordered to leave
promptly at the new closing hour.
Squads of police, acting in obedience
to Commissioner Waldo's order of
yesterday, made the rounds of the
places where the mayor had revoked
all-night licenses. Diners made no
more than verbal protests upon leav-
ing. The commissioner and deputy
were driven around the city in an
automobile to make certain that the
mayors orders were enforced.
