FURBER REFUSES
RAILWAY DEBATE
WITH MATTHEWS
Former Mayor Declares He Will
Discuss Suffrage Question
in Neutral Place.

Former Assemblyman John A.
Matthew's challenge to debate the
woman suffrage question with former
Mayor Joseph A. E'urber, of Railway,
at Railway, was declined by Mr.. Fur
Der today. According to statement
issued by Mr.. Furber he declined the
invitation as he did not wish to grant
Mr.. Matthews an audience with those
in sympathy with the movement.
Although Mr.. Furber will not debate
the question with Mr.. Matthews in
Railway, he stated that he will dis
euss the matter in public at a place
where the feeling on the question is
neutral. Mr.. Furber states that the
women of Railway are In favor of suf-
frage and that he would be acting
foolishly if he would allow Mr.. Mat
thews to come into the enemys camp
to argue his points
When Mr.. Matthews was asked If
he would consent to the debate with
Mr.. Furber at a neutral place, replied:
II will debate the question with Mr.
Furber at any place and at any time
The following statement was given
out by Mr.. Furber today:
Referring to the newspaper chal-
lenge of former Assemb1yman Mat
thews to- a. joint debate on votes for
women, it occurs to me that he seeks
to use the prestige of the suffragists
to secure an audience in Railway,
where he failed so completely in get
ting a hearing. When he began to
speak there WERE by actual count
Just twenty eight people present In
hall having a seating capacity of 550
and of the twenty eight one-half were
known to be favorable to equal suf-
frage.
"Mr. Matthews may claim, as have
other speakers, that. he can rernem-
Der accurately every word uttered on
a certain occasion, and it may have
been his intention to have quoted
someone else when repeating the
scurrilous statement of the RESPONSE
bility of some sister, wife or mother
for the downfall of every man, but he
uttered the remarks exactly as /
quoted him at the Sunday afternoon
meeting in Newark, as [ have my
original notes of his speech made on
the spot Immediately after he made
the utterance. For the sake of argu
ment and because he may have in
tended to quote the remark instead
of assuming the responsibility for
originating it, does it change the fact
that he used it for an illustration of
his subject? Did he not become re- l
sponsible for it and practically in
dorse it by repeating it in conjunc-
ton with his auti-suffrage talk?
IF Mr.. Matthews will arrange for
a debate in. some community where
the anti organization numbers as
many members as the suffragists |
will meet him with pleasure.
We are as anxious to reach the
opposition with our arguments as is
Mr.. Matthews himself, and | am will
ing, even with my inexperience as
public debator. to stand for the cause
of justice and right against man
whose whole experience has been in
public life and on the political stage"

THE ASSEMBLY

Minority Leader Emerson L. Rich
ards caused a stir in the Assembly
last night by proposing that the
Seven sistersy laws, designed to
regulate corporations in New Jersey,
be rigidly and impartially enforced'
at once.
Asserting that the "seven sisters"
laws have never been applied in order
to prosecute anybody nor any cor
poration, he provides in his resolu-
ton that Attorney General John w.
Wescott be instructed to promptly
and vigorously prosecute" the Offend
ers against the terms of the acts.
Coming from a Republican Assem-
blyman, the resolution occasioned
surprise.< Mr. Richards is rapidly
gaining reputation as being more
progressive than the Progressives.
He says he means every word of the
resolution and wants to see it
adopted.
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee. In full, 1t is as
follows:
Whereas, At the last session of
the Legislature there was passed GER
tain acts concerning corporations,
pOpuldT1ys hHOWH do llle oSNcu oiS-
ters, which acts were intended to
eliminate corporate abuses from this
State and to set free the business of
this State from unwise restraint;
and
Whereas, 1t does not appear that
any person or persons or any cor
poration has been prosecuted under
the provisions of the said acts or
that any attempt has been made to
enforce said laws; and
Whereas, The Governor of this
State has recently appointed the
Honorable John w. Wescott at
torney- general of this State whereby
the State of New Jersey has secured
in its services a lawyer of extraordi-
nary ability, who has always by both
his public and private acts demon
strated his sympathy with the inter-
ests of the people of New Jersey;
therefore be it
Resolved, BY the House. of As
sembly that it is the sense of this
House that the said acts known as
and impartially enforced. and that
all offenders against the said acts
shall be promptly and vigorously
prosecuted, to the end that such per-
sons or corporations shall be COM
PEELED to desist from such praetises,
and the people of New Jersey have
practical demonstration of the pro-
priety and efficiency of these laws;
and be it further
Resolved, That-it is the sense of
this House that the attorney-general
be afforded ample means to- secure
the enforcement of the said acts and
that the appropriation committee be
and the same is hereby instructed to
inquire from the Encouragement
what extra appropriation, If any. Will
be necessary to carry on such prose-
cutions."

East Side Road Is
Best for Auto Travel

According to County Commi
er George Kitzmeyer, the east side
of Washoe lake is the best route fo7
autoists between this city and Reno.
While considerable sand is encoun-
tered on the east side after passing
the Douglas ranch, better time is
made than by attempting the road
on the west side. which is full of
chuck holes and is about three miles
the longer route.
The road through Pleasant valley
has been repaired to great extent
and is much better than in the years
past, when it was a nightmare to the
autoist between this and the river
side city. All in all, according to
Mr.. Kitzmeyer, by taking the east
side of the lake the road between
this city and Reno is not by far the
worst that is encountered by the
