FIELDER ASKED
NOT TO SIGN THE
FULL CREW BILL
Presidents of Great
Railways Call Upon
the Governor.
IFrom a stan Correspondent

TRENTON, n. j., April 1.-Presi-
dents of big railroads and their rep
resentatives appeared before Gov
ernor Fielder today and asked him
not to sign the Egan fun crew bill,
which prescribes the number Of men
which Shall be required to man
passenger and freight trains.
The chief objections of the railroad
men to the measure were that il
would require them to employ I'M
necessary men at a large expense,
and that the number Of men neees-
sary in Il train crew is a question
that should be left to the Public IT'LL
ity Commission. Opposed TO the rail-
road men were organized labor
spokesman, who are anxious for the
bill TO become a law.
a somewhat similar bill, though
more stringent in its provisions, has
been passed in New York and signed
by Governor Sultzer. after he gave a
hearing similar to that held here.
The provisions of the Egan bill,
which has passed both houses with
out opposition, are as follows On
passenger trains of not more than
three passenger coaches and one
baggage car the crew must consist
of an engine man, a fireman, con-
ductor, a baggage man and flag
man. II similar trains are oper-
ated by electricity there must be not
less than four men. The act does
not apply to trains of three cars or
less
On passenger trains Of four or
more coaches and one baggage car
tho crew must not be less than six
men, and If operated by electricity,
of not less than five men. On a
train of four or more passenger ex-
press or mail cars, the crew must
number not less than five men, Mail
and express trains must have the
rear end equipped with an exit free
from obstruction, with a platform
thirty inches wide, guard rails and
steps, and there must be heating
appliances capable of maintaining a
temperature Of 60 degrees
On freight trains of more than
thirty cars the crew must number
not less than six, including an en-
CINE man, fireman, conductor. flag
man and two brakemen. II the
freight train is of less than thirty
cars the crew must be not less than
five.
There is at present no law stating
what the number Of train crews shall
be, and the reason advanced for the
desire to put this on the statute
books is the proper protection of
human life. The Public Utility Com
mission is given authority to enforce
the provisions of the act, which does
not go into effect until thirty days
after it's passage. The penalty for
violation Of the provisions is fine
Sf 800. such violation being con-
strued as a misdemeanor.
The railroad representatives state
that IL the bill becomes law in this
state 1t viii mean that the roads
will have to spend at least 100000
extra, which, they say, would come
out OF the public In payment of
freight and passenger charges. The
railroad men say they are willing to
abide by what the Public Utility
Commission rules In the matter with
out the enactment of such q law.

others, and coufs ole
panel. After the ELI lct-
ed then the sheriff d. h ain
view the requisite number1B m en-
bers for the Grand Jury by number.
This measure in effect puts dt in
the power of the court to name the
Grand Jury. if the Sheriff fails to
properly perform his duties. This is
just what Judge Kalisch did in At
lantic County in a different way.
mo just criticism could be made
against a measure of this kind, and
its simplicity and fairness and abso-
lutte safety from political or corrupt
manipulation ought to commend it
to fair-minded men. Surely, there can
be no better reform in connection
with our grand jurors than to give
the court the power if the sheriff is
not properly performing his duties, to
exercise these duties itself.
IF the Read bill is good. this meas
ure Is equally good, and better In the
respect that it gives more power to
the court. saves an expense to the
county that all of the others saddle
on it. and also ps rents a new class
OF salaried officers. who most likely
would at once start to lobby for in
crease of pay. as some otfice-holders
have recently done"

WARNEDAS
COURT CONVENES
Chief Justice Gummere, Sur
rounded by Fellow Jurists,
Swears in Grand Jury.

With the Supreme Court room
crowded to the doors with lawyers,
Chief Justice Gummere opened the
April term of court today by swear
ing in the first April grand jury and
by designating Judge Frederick
Adams to hear causes in the Supreme
Court and Judge Nelson Y. DUNCAN in
the Circuit Court during the present
term.
With Chief Justice Gummere on the
bench were Common Pleas Judges
Martin and Osborne, Juvenile Judge
Dolan, Judge Adams and Judge Dun
gan, all except Judge Dalon beios
robed in the black judicial gown.
After Timothy f. Foyle. of 1888 War
rem street, had been sworn in as fore
man of the grand jury and the oath
administered to the other twenty-five
members by the county clerk, Joseph
McDonough, the chief justice In
structed the jurors as to the meaning
of their oath of office and as to their
duties.
Grand Jurors Warned.
The chief justice laid particular
stress on possible attempts to iniiu-
ence jury action and spoke as follows
1.-THE court frequently hears of at
tempts to influence grand jurors
through personal friendship. or in po-
litical ways and by divers methods.
To prevent this, the jurors should not
allow anyone to talk with them on
matters pending before the grand in
quest or on matters that may possi-
bly, come before it. The jurors cath
protects him in this respect and
should be rigidly addressed to by all
the members"
In closing his charge To the jury
the chief justice spoke of three recent
homicides as the only matters of i'm
portance enough TO call specifically
to the attention of the jury at this
time. He first called attention to the
death of Mrs. Mary Deskowitz in Nut
ley ON March Is, who died from burns
received after her husband, Peter
Deskowitz, is alleged to have thrown
gasoline over her and touched match
to her clothes.
Another wife Murder.
The second was another case of
wife murder that of John Dolan,
who. in fit of jealousy, almost sew
cred his wife's head from her shout
ders during a quarrel at their home,
So Bruen street, on March %. The
chief justice called attention to the
fact that Dolan had attempted sui
eide after killing his wife. but re-
marked. sHe attempted suicide. but
was much more strenuous in his de-
sire to take his wifes life than he
was to harm himself, and he inflicted
only u slight wound from which he
is now recovered
The third homicide called to the
jurors attention was the killing last
Thursday of Stanley II. Roe by
Clarence A. Hodes at 4 Blocker
street during row over rent which
Roe was making an effort TO collect
from the wife of Hodes. In all three
instances the alleged murderers are
in custody, and 1t is expected that
one of the first actions of the grand
Jurors will be to return true bills.

NEW TIRE ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION
John T. Clark of This City
May Have Solved Pune
ture Problem.

Tor some twenty.odd years inventors
all over the world have been trying 10
solve the pneumatic tire problem. Ever
since the first air filled rubber tube
puncture on bicycle, leaving the DIS
tractod owner 10 walk home, inventors
in all walks OF life have been trying
To produce a tire with all the resilient
qualities of the pneumatic which would
not puncture Up TO date all attempts
90 solve the problem have proven fail
ures and it is alleged that the patent
office in Washington has a cellar full
of these same failures,
Now comes Salt Lake man, or per
haps IL would bn better 10 say Provo
man. with a new idea. His name is
John T. Clark. AIR. Clark has put his
ideas into a tire, which is at present
speeding mp and down Salt Lake s
streets Each day this tire secures adj
ditional adhercnts from among local
automobile dealers. automobile tire re.
pair men and others who have practi-
cal knowledge of the present pneumatic
tire. One by one they are being con-
Vinced that Mr.. Clark has at last struck
The proper idea and has Il tire equal
10 the Pneumatic which viii answer all
purposes and which will not puncture or
blow out.
Briefly stated, the tire looks like a
pneumatic rides ike pneumatic, but
does not carry air under pressure. 1t
is Just a light as a pneumatic and
can be built Just as cheaply and will
outwear the pneumatic by many thou
sands of miles.
Mr.. Clark has adopted the principle
of the pneumatic tire, but uses n cir
cular band OF steel vulcanized within
the tread OF the tire. This spring is
An equal distance from the inside rim
OF the tire or the rim of the wheel
itself when the tire IS normal. When
pressure or a shock ou the tiro occurs
at the point of contact with the ground
the spring naturally gives way, but in
20 doing must adjust itself ut some
other point on the tire As the spring
is held in place by the walls of the tiro
and the walls arc Of the same tension
at all points, the shock or pressure at
the point of contact is absorbed equal

II is The same principle as q wire spoke

the top of the wheel and with Mr..

carried by n spring suspended within

Gevc Mr.. Clark has at last hit upon
the right principle and it is merely a
ease of perfccting the mechanical con
struetion to make perfect tire. In
