STREET
SIGNS NEXT WEEK
May Cause Better Postal FaCiIi-
ties in Northwestern Part.

With a view of aiding residents
of the northwestern section of the
city in securing increased postal IA
cilities as well as to traproye the
street system, Chairman Clark of
the street and sewer committee,
viewed that territory yesterday with
regard to erecting new street signs.
1t is his intention to send two street
department men out early next week
to erect signs throughout that sec
tion, 1t having been found that there
are but few In place. AS most of
the street signs were purchased in
duplicate it is expected that all of
those wanted can be found among
the stock on hand in the basement
of the city hall building.
Mr.. Clark stated today that resid-
ents of the northwestern section
might more easily secure mail de-
liVeries IL postal inspectors found
street signs up In that part of the
city. Postmaster William II. Pfeif-
fer has stated that the signs would
encourage a favorable report from
inspectors.

RESTRAINT
FOR SALE Of BEER
Vice Chancellor Howell UphoIds
Stephen Gerek and Wife.

Vice Chancellor Howell has denied
a motion for preliminary injunction
in the case of the Peter Breidt
Brewing Company against Stephen
Gerek and wife, to restrain them
from selling beer in their saloon
at 431 High street, purchased from
any other manufacturer than itself.
This case bears special interest,
since it is only the second instance
where a motion for a preliminary
injunction of this kind has been
denied in the court of chancery, the
defendants in this case, represented
by Counsellor Thomas Brown, re-
sisting the motion upon three
grounds. The complainants main
tanned that Gerek had entered into
an agreement by which they agreed
to sell the beer manufactured by
the Breidt Company for a period of
five years, and that he had borrow
edo $500 from that corporation on
the strength of this agreement.
The grounds on which the de-
PENDANTS opposed the motion were
that Gerek some months ago, solo
out his saloon business, and that
the agreement lost its effect by this
transfer; that, by the expiration of
a lease on March IA, the complain
ant was not in position to protect
the defendants as tenants of the
complainant, and that there was no
irreparable injury The complain
ant was represented by Counsellor
John ]. Stamler, of Newark.

Million Dollars.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Trenton, April 9:-The annual
and supplemental appropriation bills,
carrying slightly more. than eight
million in state appropriations, were
passed by the senate today. The
debate over them developed into a
warm political battle. Senator Read,
of Camden, the Republican leader,
offered an amendment carrying an
appropriation of $4,000 to enable the
attorney general to enforce the
Seven Sisters" and Teius laws. He
pointed out that their laws had never
been enforced and referred to the re-
cent investigation disclosing coal
trust as evidence of his arugment.
He showed that the attorney gener-
ais department had not proceeded
because of the lack of funds.
Senator Colgate, Republican, of
Essex, expressed his opinion that the
Seven Sisters laws were introduced
for effect and not for enforcement
and as they had served their purpose
in helping Woodrow Wilson to the
presidency there was no desire to en-
force them.
Senators McGinnis and Hennessy,
Democrats, opposed the amendment
and 1t was lost by the vote of seven
to ten. The two bills We're then

According to a committee substi-
tute for bill No. 1863, which passed
the senate the first of the week, the
recently created New Jersey Harbor
Commission is given the powers of
the Riparian Commission and the
New Jersey Ship Canal Commission,
and the city in buying riparian rights
may have to apply to the new State
Harbor Commission, to which w. p.
Runyon was yesterday named a
member by Governor Fielder. The
fact that Mr.. Runyon is a member of
the board, Mr.. Bolger believes, If
application for purchase will have
to be made to that commission, will
insure that the city is given it's
riparian rights to property at most
nominal figures. Because the stand
ard price of $40 per lineal foot had
been set by the Riparian Commission
for street end riparian rights, the
council had deferred action on the
former request of the harbor board
for the purchase of rights to fourteen
street ends.

tion calling for the end of the session

day that the senate would quit busi-
ness exactly at 3 o'clock as provided
in the resolution. He made this more
emphatic soon after the session had
opened, A bill came up for final
vote in its regular turn and Senator
