Fowler and Alderman May
Be Rivals for Congress

ELIZABETH, April st is
thought that the Republican Con-
gressional fight next November in
this district, which now embraces
Union and Morris counties, will
narrow down to Charles n. Fowler,
the former representative from this
district, and Ernest r. Alderman, of
Plainfield, former State Senator. 1t
is not thought likely that there will
be any candidates from Norris
County.
Mr.. Alderman has announced his
candidacy, but Mr.. Fowler has not
committed himself as to his cam
didacy and has no comment to make.
That he is looked op with favor by
the Progressives as well as by the
regulars" is the assertion of his
friends and for this reason they
say he is the strongest man that can
be named
Mr. Fowler is said to have been
more than pleased at his primary
showing Yin the Governorship fight.

GODFREY REPLIES
TO CANAL CRITICS
Saws His Committee Is Unjust
Iy Blamed for Recently
Found Joker
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, April 9-Stung by the
criticisms of the altered Morris Canal
abandonment bills and the report OF
the committee of which he Is ehalr-
man, Assemblyman Godfrey, OF Az
lantic County, addressed a commune
cation to Speaker Beekman yesterday
in which he said he and the comnllt-
tee were being unjustly criticised.
Mr. Godfrey, in his statement
opens by saying that the error IN the
bill did not make bit OF dlHerehce'
but the statement differs from the
one he. made on the day when the
mistake" was first discovered. He
saws that the clause in section i've
could be added to any part OF the Dlll
without making any change The
first statement was that the error
in the bill would have made the Lee
high Valley Railroad Company pay
more money than with the original
arrangement.
Mr.. Godfreys statement is chiefly
praise of his unselfish services and OF
his bill lie says: THE bill prepared
by our committee saved to New Jer-
sew Greenwood Lake, worth nearly
one million dollars, and thereupon the
judiciary committee reported the Dill
as unacceptaDle, ana the OH Was
put to sleep. Do you see the. fine
hand of the East Jersey water snake
in their move? After the water snake
is taken care of and the settlement
now pending is made perhaps the
canal bill will be considered on its
merits.
Now as to Newark" says Mr..
Godfrey, "a rapid transit crosstown
passenger railroad, so greatly needed
in that great and prosperous city, is
provided for. the line extending, per-
haps, to Paterson" But Mr.. Godfrey
omits to say who is going to own the
right of way which was promised to
Newark in the report of 1911 Mr..
Godfrey gets Eighty. He says: Il
wish to speak to the members from
the nineteen small counties of New
Jersey and say to you that under any
plan of settlement of this question
the large counties get the water
rights, the parkway, the lands, the
public facilities worth millions and
million of dollars" 1t Is said that
Mr.. Godfrey fully expected to be one
of the commissioners under the bill
Hence the tears.

that we can see what benefits can
come to Jersey City. | believe they
should be allowed to continue so that
the people can judge if this new order
of things is the proper one for them
to have. If. after a trial, it fails to
perform what has been foretold of it,
[ believe we can trust it to a we'll
informed electorate to assert itself
and bring about such a change as it
deserves"

Some snow? Well, rather; as not in
thirty years has Americas Witnessed
such a snowstorm as that of yesterday
when the beautiful" to a measured
depth of four inches, covered the city
and county under a mantle of white.
The snowstorm came as a freezeGic
shock and the populace were amazed
when, in the early hours, they looked
out upon roofs and yards covered with
white.
1t began showing at o'clock, and at
o'clock the feathery flakes were still
falling slowly, with no rain to spoil
the glistening surface of immaculate
white. Later in the day sleet set in
and froze the surface to the point
where walking on he paved streest was
risky.
Before o'clock he populace had
contracted the fighting fever and the
yards and pavements were lined with
.snowballers. To walk along Lee,
Jackson or Taylor streets was as dan
gerous as owning bank stock or pre-
posing to a widow. Hundreds ow eager
snowballers fired the white targets at
every unlucky passer-by and caused

SNOWFALL invaded the uptown streets
and enjoyed the fun, which brought a
rinee Of color to cheeks upon which
the roses rested already.
Of course, no one thought of attend
ing to business of any kind. Americas
Lad not in thirty years had the oppor-
tunity of enjoying such a holiday, and
it was eagerly seized upon. Sedate
citizens were pelted upon sight, and
where one made the mistake of getting
mad an army of snowballers would
make a target of him and cause him
to fly to the mountains of Hepzidam-
or Ubedam.
In the uptown streets traffic was al
most suspended. The first dray mulae
venturing upon the snow covered
blocks executed the graceful move
ments OF an amateur tango dancer, and
went down in heap. The automobiles
skidded to an alarming degree, and in
a short while riding or driving was
abandoned for the slower but surcr
heel-hike. Delivery wagons, especial

INTEREST GROWS
IN FRANK CASE
since DECISION
First Hebrew Ever Convicted
of Cruel Murder

Atlanta, Feb. 25.-The Frank case is
in fashion" again in Atlanta. New
evidence. new theories, new motions,
new anglss are developing daily as
rapidly as if Frank had never yet
been tried. And his lawyers are not
by any means the only persons who
have been searching the records Of
Georgia criminal history for proceed
ents and other things bearing On the
case
Friends Of Frank after an almost
exhaustive investigation, have de
yeloped two rather surprising things
They say that the history Of the Geor-
gia courts will show that Frank is the
first and only Jew who has ever been
accused in Georgia Of such a crime as
the murder of Mary Phagan.
And they declare that Frank has the
further melancholy distinction of be-
ing the only white man who has the
further melancholy distinction of be-
ing the only write man who has ever
been convicted in a capital case on the
testimony Of a negro Another thing
which they declare was without par
allel in the past was the shouting
around the courthouse by the surgin :
crowds outside the open windows
when the jury's verdict was being
made up and rendered.
The principal new develoment in
the case during the past twenty--four
hours is the verdict of twelve months
found against Jim Conley as accessory
after the fact 1t means that in the
event of new trial or in case the
coming Burns investigation shows the
case up from an entirely new light
Conley will be safe and fast and where
he can be produced at any time.
He will serve his sentence on the
Fulton county changing and will be
shackled and guarded with unusual
vigilance and care.
