MODIFY WILSON
TRUST MEASURES
Governor o. KS Changes in
Three Bills Now Before
Senate.
IFrom . Stan Correspondence

TRENTON, n. j.. Jan. 2s.-Chancel-
Tor Edwin Robert Walker and former
Supreme Court Justice Van Syclxle,
who, at Governor Wilson's request,
drew the seven bills introduced in
the Senate last week by Senator
Davis. to amend the present laws of
the State, regulating corporations,
had a conference with the Governor
late yesterday and suggested some
changes in three of the seven
bills as originally drafted. Governor
Wilson agreed to the changes, which
do not materially change the bills
as to their general purpose, but does
supply an important omission in the
main. bill, the one which defines
trusts and forbids certain acts by
corporations, firms and individuals.
Through mistake in transcribing.
violations of the provisions of the
bill were not characterized as mis-
demeanors. This omission is now cor
rected.
In a second bill, which permitted
corporations to acquire in the collec-
ton of debts, the bonds, securities
and other evidence of Indebtedness of
non-competing corporations, the limi-
tation "in the collection of debts
is modified to permit corporations
to invest their surplus earnings in
the same way. This is to permit the
corporations to earn more money on
the surplus earnings and also to have
the same in the form of quick
assets.
The change in a third bill. which
permits the purchase by corporations
of the property or stock of other cor
porations doing a cognate business,
there is stricken out the limitation
that purchase could be made only
of the stock or property of corpora
tons doing a manufacturing or min
ing business. The change is made to
prevent discrimination against COM
panies doing only trading or selling
business.

GRADE CROSSING
BILLS DISCUSSED
Orange and East Orange o.
ficiaIs Appear Before Sen
ate Committee.
TFrom = star Corre.pondeut.I

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 2s.-The peo-
pies side of proposed. embarrassing
legislation was heard yesterday,
when the Senate committee on rail-
roads and canals gave a hearing on
the two bills which have been intro
duced in the upper house, providing
| for the abolition of such crossings,
one by Senator Fielder and other by
Senator Pierce, the latter being sim
lar to the one Mr.. Pierce put in last
year, which was passed. vetoed by
Governor Wilson and thrown out by
the courts.
Although several attorneys for rail-
roads were present they did not speak,
and 1t was announced that as they
were not yet ready there would be
a continued hearing next Monday aft
ernoon at O'Clock.
Senators Pierce and Fielder defend
ed their own bills, and other speakers
included Mayor Julian A. Gregory
and Borden d. Whiting, both of East
Orange; Mayor Donnelly, of Tren-
ton; Mayor Murray, of Orange; City
Counsel Edward f. Mercy, of Pater-
son, and William Foster, of this city,
president of the Manufacturers As
ISOLATION.
Senator Fielder, in speaking of his
bill. said that later in the session he
| would introduce an amendment to
| it which would provide that railroad
tracks could be carried over or under
street intersections, the wording OF
the bill now being that the streets
only should be elevated or depressed
Mayor Gregory declared that the
city of East Orange did not favor
any particular bill, but was eager
| to obtain immediate action. Under
their charters. he asserted. the rail'
roads were bound to abolish CROSSING
when it was shown they interfereo
with traffic.
| He described conditions in his city
| in detail, saying that great annoy
ance was caused by trolley cars hav-
| ing to wait at crossings while trains
| went by.
Mayor Murray, of Orange, said the
good point in the Fielder bill was that
it put the entire cost of abolishine
crossings on the railroad. and this
he regarded as the fundamental point
| in such legislation. He objected
however, to the provision that with
the Public Utilities Board should rest
the time within which the crossings
were to be done away with.
Borden D.. Whiting spoke in favor
of the Fielder bill and told the com
mittee that it was not qualified tc
| work out a schedule of the time in
which crossings should be eliminated
| any more than 1t would be to provide
schedule of freight rates. and thai
such question would be better left
to the utilities commissioners.

Professor Willard C. Fisher, of Wes-

while speaking before church club
in Hartford suggested the closing Of
the churches of the country for a Pc
riod of years as an experiment, has
rendered his resignation to President
William Arnold Shanklin.
Neither Professor Fisher nor Pres

matter. but it is understood that the
remarks, coming as they did from a
member of the faculty of Methodist
institution, aroused such storm of
protest that the resignation was de-
manded.
