new CROSSING
BILL IS PUT IN
Senator Fielder Would Give
Utility Commission Power
(From the NEWS Correspondent,

NIfOHt ~ AS ~
Trenton, Jan. 15.-The admins
tration grade crossing bill, which
was drafted by Senator Fielder, of
Hudson, VAS introduced in tae Sen
ate yesterday afternoon. 1t differs
greatly from the Pierce measure of
last year that Governor Wilson We
toed and which was set aside by
the Supreme Court The measure
gives the Public Utility Commission
power to compel the removal OF
grade crossings, thus being in line
with the Governors message.
The bill makes it compulsory upon
the Utility Commission to order the
removal Of a grade crossing upon
presentation of n petition from a
municipality The entire expense of
the work Is placed upon the rail-
roads except where a trolley line
crosses, when the trolley company
may be ordered to pay a part of the
cost, not to exceed ten per ZEN and
where lines of w or water pipes
must be moved, the cost OF this work
to be borne by the municipality.
The Pierce bill OF last year COM
PEELED every railroad to abolish one
grade crossing for each thirty miles
of track operated and it vas this
feature to which Governor Wilson
objected. Senator Fielder says his
bill is a sort of home rule" proposal
in dealing with the problem OF what
crossing shall be abolished.
The mayors OF the state at their
conference here yesterday after
noon insisted that all dangerous
grade crossings should be eliminated
and that the railroad companies
should be made to pay all the ex-
pepse,

Taft
 at Washington
SPENT SUNDAY MUCH LIKE THE
 DAYS OF YoRE.
INFORMAL RECEPTIONS
Former President Forced te Hold Them at Church and Also at Country Club, Where He Was Guest at Tea.

Washington, June s.-It wouldn't have been an impossible task for Prof. William H. Taft of Yale to forget to- day the things that happened in Mo- VeInber and March to make him the junior ex-president of the United States. Only the lack of the formality that hedges the office, the fact that he didn't have to rise so early as the guest of W. J. Boardman as he did when he was in the White House, and didn't struggle for a few hours with the things that a president must take up Sunday or weekday, made it differ ent from scores of days he spent in the four years of his presidency
 Attended All Souls Church.
 Nr. Taft went to church today at All Souls Unitarian, where he worshipped almost every Sunday while he was president. Most of the members of the congregation including several sen ators, a few judges and other officials knew him we'll, and he had to hold a small reception. Charles D HAles, his former secretary, was with him. and as they walked back to the Boardman come scores of ashingtonians recogniz- ed the familiar figure. Chief Justice White joined the ex-president and Mir. Hilles on the way and walked for sev- eral blocks with them.
 Reception at Country Club Tea.
 MT. Taft was the luncheon guest of Senator Newlands, just outside the city and in the afternoon motored to the Country club to meet many old friends at 6 tea given in his honor by Miss Mabel Roardman. Speaker Clark and many other congressman and officials who knew the former president well had been invited to the tea, and it turned out to be another reception to the ex-president. Tonight Mir Taft dined at the club.

June S.--The body of an unidentified man who had ap- parently been dead for fours month was found in a cluInp of bushes in the rear of the old Ryder race track, on the old Harrington turnpike this aft ernoon.
