I be restored to the calendar without
unanimous consent.

House Proceedings.
TRENTON. Jan. 27-The Assembly
had no sooner convened last night
than il recessed 10 give the Demo-
Gratis an opportunity to indulge 10 an
oid-time wrangle. The subject was
the California plan for a doubla-oar-
relied session one barrel 20 be devoted
TO the introduction ef hills and the
other to committee reports aud con
sidera ton of kills.
As has been said the California
plan was fathered in the ASS u. bly,
BY Mr. MeDermott. -assemhlyman
Kirkpatrick offered an amendment
which was accepted BY Mr.. Msl'eT-
mott, proposing to have all bills in
troduced by March :. then to give two
weeks time for the consideration CT
these bills by committees; then, after
another two weeks, 20 take VI lie

proposition was made to make
the meeting n caucus. thereby bind
ing all those present 10 the will of the
majority but the South Jersey men,
bers opposed this course and the
meeting resolved itself into a confer
ence. There was warm argument pro
and con, and the final vote stood 20
for the adoption OF the proposed plan
to 10 against 1t.
The first action of the Assembly
was to concur in the Senate resolu-
tions, providing for a joint session at
noon today for the purpose of electing
a comptroller of the currency
Assemblymen James Hammond, of
Mercer, introduced a bill to regulate
the practise of neuropathy in the
State 1t proposes State board OF
homeopathy examiners, five in number,
to be appointed for five years, with
power to license practicing neuropa-
thy. Applicants would have to pass
an examination and pay a license fee
of S25. Those who practised in the
State five months prior to January l,
1914, and could show diploma of the
College of Neuropathy, would be ex-
enpt from examination, but must pay
a fee.
New Boxing Bill.
The Ocean Grove borough bill was
one of the first measures OF interest
to bob up in the regular session. 1t
was reported without a recommenna-
ton by the committee on boroughs.
There were favorable committee re-
ports on sixteen bills, but every meas
ure thus reported was of an unim-
portant character. Assemblyman
Moore, of Mercer, withdrew his bill
to regulate boxing bouts and sub |
mitted another in its stead providing !
for one instead of three commission |
ers. Then came a resolution by As
semblyman Godfrey, evidently faith |
cred by the automobile associations |
of the State. The resolution referred |
to a rumor current to the effect that |
the receipts of the treasury Of New |
Jersey for the current fiscal year will !
not equal the expenditures, thereby
producing a deficiency, whereas, the
resolution set forth. the report OF the
comptroller shows that instead Of q
deficiency there will be a surplus of
receipts over expenditures as esti-
mated of s611 ,9O2 "a, which sum, TO- |
gether with the cash on hand at the |
beginning of this fiscal year Of S1,656- |
120.97 will show a balance in cash on |
hand at the end of this fiscal year
of s2,26S o23.3l, with all obligations Of
the State paid in full
The resolution further sets forth |
that, relying on the accuracy of said |
report it will not be necessary to use
any of the unusual or unanticipated
income Of the State this fiscal year,
nor to make any change in the appi-
cation Of the automobile license fees,
and that any increase in such auto
mobile license fees should be applied |
exclusively to the highway depart
ment for the repair of the highway |
and construction of good roads, etc.
A resolution by Mr.. Bredenbek, |
protesting in the name of the State |
against any further persecution of the |
Jews in Russia, was referred to the |
committee on federal relations.

mitted a resolution which was adopt |
ed providing that the House sit as |

ciary, to which a similar hill has been |
