h Great President In a Great
Crisis

With practically all of Europe
plunged in war, with the worlds
commerce and finance paralyzed.
with a domestic situation exist
ing in consequence which re-
quires the utmost concentration
of the reserve wealth, resources
and energies of the United
States, the full significance of
President Wilson's success in
avoiding a war with Mexico is
now apparent.
Throughout the country in
dependent thought conced.s
that the nation is under an OBJ
legation to the president so i'm
measurably huge that it cannot
be computed in figures or def

If the United States were en-
gagged in a bloody and costly war
below the Rio Grande, could the
crisis of the past few weeks
have been met without a crash
of credits which would have set
the nation back twenty years?
If this country were at war
would it now be possible, as has
been done, to prefer American
craftsmanship to mediate the
differences which have engulfed
Europe in a maelstrom of devas-
tating strife?

keansburg and Middletown
Subject of Senate Hearings
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, March 10.-A public
hearing was given yesterday by the
Senate committee on boroughs and
townships on two bills. One of these
was a measure which aimed ia the
incorporation of the borough of
Keansburg. Judge John f. Foster
spoke in favor of the measure and
emphasized the need of regulations
in connection with sanitation and
sewage disposal. The bill was opposed
by Charles r. Schneider, of Atlantic
Highlands; Charles Carr, of Raritan
township; Charles Gelhaus, president
of the Keansburg Steamboat Com
pany, and Elmer Geran, State water
supply commissioner
The other bill proposes the annex
alton of Middletown township to
Highlands, Monmouth county. There
was measure which aimed at the
bill. but its proponents argued that
the advantages to the township in the
matter of police, fire and sanitary
protection would be immense. The
committee did not announce what dis
position it would make of the two
bills.

CARROTS Commission Rule
Bill Is Strongly Opposed

TRENTON, March 10.-Many lead
ing citizens of Jersey City attended
hearing yesterday on Assemblyman
Joseph Carrolrs bill to make 1t a
misdemeanor for any commissioner of
that CITY, or any city under commits
sion government, to transact business
With a public utility company. All
of them opposed the bill, and the only
speakers in favor of it was Assembly
man Carroll himself, together with
Assemblymen George Bracken and
Clinton e. Fisk, of Hudson County.
Former Judge Robert Carey, former
Congressman George McEwan, former
Shade Tree Commissioner Pope, Jo-
seph A. Dear and Walter Y. Dear
were the principal speakers. All of
them treated the act as an attack
upon Commissioner James J. Ferris,
whom they referred to as one of the
best officials that Jersey City had
ever had. This was all the more re-
markable from the fact that Mr. Fer
ris was elected by constituency of
a totally different type, and was real
ly opposed for the election by all of
the speakers In his favor.

Indeterminate Franchise
Act Passed by the Senate

TRENTON, March 10.-By vote of
~ to the Senate last night passed
Senator Pierce's bill, Senate 65,
known as the "Indeterminate Fran
chise Act" The bill Is similar in all
respects to the measure that passed
the Senate last year. but died In the
House.
Senator Pierce, in advocacy of his
bill, said the measure was a sort of
middle ground between the short term
and perpetual franchise, which was
virtually a monopoly. He cited that
a similar bill was in effect in Massa-
chusetts for many years.
The distinguishing characteristic OF
the measure, he said. was that a mu-
nicipality may terminate such fran
chise by paying the utility for its
value invested. 1t also gives COM
plete power to secure good service
and it was almost impossible for a
company to forfeit its investment.
