ASKS REPEAL Of
LAW 2 WEEkSO OLD
peoiaI to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, March 12:--All recordg
.st~- osea1 new laws were broken this
week, when Senator Egan, Of Hud-
son, presented bill to repeal a law
that was signed less than two weeks
ago. The measure to which the sig
nature of the governor was attached
last week was Senate IT, which was
introduced by Senator Rathbun. of
Morris, and which is designed to
completely abolish the rights of
dover and courtesy in this state.
This bill is the same as introduced
by Senator Rathbun last year and
which became a law. 1t applied to
personal property. Although the
measure was passed by both houses
without the members having full
knowledge of the effect of the bill, 1t
was thoroughly understood and ap-
preciated by Governor Fielder. Sen
ator Rathbun spent some time with
the executive in giving an explana-
ton of the provisions of the measure
and why 1t should be signed.
This law would make drastic
changes regarding rights of dover
and courtesy in New Jersey. Under
ltS pTOFiSlOUS IL Will De possible Tor
husband to deprive his wife of all
interest in his estate, and it will also
allow woman to sell property with
out the signature of her husband.
Under the present law a husband
cannot cut his wife off entirely in his
will, as she is protected to the ex-
tent that the law reserved her at
least one-third of the husbands es-
tate. The Rathbun bill does not save |
any of the estate to the wife unless
the husband so wills it.
Senator Rathbun told the COVER
nor that, as the women are asking |
for equal rights, this measure is cal !
culated to give them rights equal to !
those now enjoyed by their hus-
bands. The executive previous to
signing the bill admitted that 1t was |
drastic, but that Senator Rathbun |
had presented some very good points |
in its favor; also, that he had taken |
into consideration that both the
house and senate were practically |
for 1t.

NOT0RNAN HAS
HAND BURNED IN
A TROLLEY FIRE

Burned about the hand and facing
more serious danger, Thomas Smith,
of Westfeld, metorman in the en-
ploy of the Public Service Railway
Company, displayed presence of mind
and pluck when short-circuit caused
fire in the controller box of a car
which he was operating while on
Smith street, just east of State street,
shortly after o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. A slight explosion follow
ing a short circuit sent flames out of
the controller box and Smiths left
hand was burned. He slowed down
the car and then jumped off tempor-
arily to avoid the spouts of flame. De-
termined to stop the car completely
to save the passengers in event of
serious trouble, the motorman was
quick to return to his post.
When the car was stopped he used
papers and his hat in a vain endeav-
or to extinguish the flames. Sand
was used with little effect and the
flames were not extinguished entirely
until a hand extinguisher from the
Perth Amboy City Market was press
ed into service. The damage was
confined to the mechanism of the
controller. There was but little sign
of disorder among the passengers,
most of whom remained in the car
while the motorman was fighting the
flames. Sight of the smoke and the
stopping of the car at the same time
frightened some of them.

REPORT LEHIGH
READY FOR ANY
CANAL BARGAIN

Trenton, March 12.-It is reported
that the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company has passed the word to
make any sort of bargain with the
stae of New Jersey to get rid of the
Morris canal at this session of the
legislature, and that Speaker God
Trey may prepare some amendments
which will not allow the moneys re-
ceived from the abandonment of the
canal to go to the state to wipe out
the deficit caused by Democratic rule
during the past three years.
The railroad company has been
scared by the decision of the inter-
state commerce commission that it
comes under the Panama canal act,
and cannot get its products in line
tor transportation through the canal
while 1t hangs onto the Morris canal
The railroad wants to retain possess
sion of the basins in Jersey City at u
price, and therefore the road is will
Ing to make as good a bargain and
as quick a one as possible with the
state to avoid getting under the ban
for its freight under the Panama
canal act.
On the other hand Speaker God
frey is not willing that the state of
New Jersey should get the moneys
for this canal unrestricted. Governor
Fielder Is speciously asking that the
moneys go to the state treasury so
that 1t can be appropriated for state
uses by the appropriation committee.
Behind this is said to be the plan of
the governor to wipe out a threaten
ed state deficit. avoid state tax and
leave the state treasury in fiourishing
condition at the end of his term,
which might help Democrat sue
ceed him.
Speaker Godfrey. on the other
hand, believes that If this canal is
taken from the people the money re-
ceived therefore should be applied to
the uses of the people in other ways
than to wipe out Democratic mis-
takes.
Therefore the whole scheme of
abandonment will likely be worked
out in few weeks.

Be A SW|NOLEK

Despite the fact that he claims he
is a linguist and can communicate
in writing In seven different Ian
guages, Virgil J. Favas, thirty-eight
years old, who says he comes from
New York City, maintains that he is
deaf and dumb. The man was ar
rested on suspicion on the streets
about 3 O'Clock this morning by
Patrolmen Gutowski and Hartmann.
The police believe the man is
shamming and think that he may be
a bogus check passer. In his posses
sion were found two checks drawn
on the First National Bank of Eng
lishtown, one of which directed the
payment OF s30.55 to Marcelles
Brown, and was signed Coppock-
Warner Lumber Company. Another
directed the payment OF S18.75 to
Joseph Bennett, and was signed
James Roger. The former check at
tracted suspicion because in the
script on the paper thirty was spelled
"tyrty," and called for only thirty
dollars and fifty cents, whereas the
numerals ON the check called for
$30.55.

The police are today investigating
to learn If the checks we're forged by
the man, or If he got them illegally
and intended to indorse and try to
cash them
