Trenton, Feb. Representatives
of Paterson and Perth Amboy ap
| peared before the assembly railroads
and canals committee today and
urged the passage of the bill by Mr.
Hunter, of Passaic county, compel.
! ling the railroads to provide greater
protection at grade crossings, and
practically abolishing the defense OF
eontributory negligence in suits
brought to recover damages In grade
crossing accidents. James w. Cooke,
OF Paterson, argued that the present
situation Is unfair to the public. He
referred to the recent accident near
Paterson in which tie Rev. DR.. Mer-
riam was killed, the Rev. DR.. Hamil-
ton seriously injured and their wives
also hurt, all being from Paterson.
The speaker declared that the pres
ent law and court decisions make no
inducement to the railroads to pro-
tect the public.
Edward F. Merry, city counsel of
Paterson, declared that grade cross
ings are dangerous no matter how
careful the users may be- He ex-
planned the bill and said its object
is to spur on the removal of grade
crossings by making their mainte-
nance more expensive to the rail-
roads. He showed how Paterson Is
endeavoring to compel the Erie rail-
road to abolish its grade crossings In
that city. Referring to the changing
of the rule of law, which the bill
makes, he said that it puts the bur
den on the railroad company, where
1t should be.
Rev. r, S. Snodgrass, president
OF the Paterson law and office league
also urged the passage of the bill.
Everything possible should be done
to promote safety he argued, no
matter what the cost. He maintain
ed that the law is not drastic, but
puts greater responsibility for safety
upon the railroads.
e. II. Lambert, president OF the
Paterson Ciisa.n43sae OF commerce, IN
sisted that safety first" should rule,
and that in such legislation as this
the man should come before the dol
lar. He presented the resolution
adopted at a Paterson mass meeting
December II, following the Merriam
accident, declaring In favor of abol- |

state. Hugh Lynch representing the |
Board of Trade at Perth Amboy, ia |
vored the bill. Not only Perth Am
boy, he said, but all Middlesex
county was arrayed solidly for the
measure.
w. c. Burleigh, vice president of
the Public Service corporation of
fered an amendment excluding troll
leys from the provisions of the bill |
George Holmes, counsel for the Cen
trail railroad; w. Holt Apgar for the
railroad, and other
railroad counsel opposed the meas
ure. They declared that the present
law as being administered by the
Public Utility Commission was suffi-
cient, and that the bill would place
a financial burden upon the railroads
that they would be utterly unable to
carry.

Special ey United Press Wsrc.
New York, Feb, 9:-Under the
eyes of detectives and alienists,
Frederick Mors will reenact each of
the eight alleged murders he confess
ed he committed at the German Odd
Fellows home. This was the plan
announced by Coroner Dunn. Mors
will be taken to the home near
Yonkers. Dummy Jars will be placed
In the closets where he claims he got
the chloroform. Detectives will play
the roles of the victims, and he will
show Just how he speeded up the
death rate. If he proves himself
clumsy in administering the
make-believe drugs, his story will be
discredited, said Coroner Dunn. 1T
is my opinion that Mors will prove
himself capable of committing every
murder he has accused himself"

BILL FOR STATE
CONSTAbULARY
IS INTRODUCED
Ramsay Puts Measure in Sem
ate, Feeling Sure That 1t
Will Pass, Due to Public
Sentiment Over Strike.

Public sentiment is now aroused
to the point of enthusiasm for the
passage, of the state constabulary

say, who introduced a measure last
night in the senate for the second
time calling for the formation of a
state police patrol. Men who were
formerly opposed to the enactment Of

Of the Happenings at Roosevelt last
month, according to the senator
Last year good many who were
opposed to it are now awake to the
necessity of a state contrabulary,"
declared DR.. Ramsay. He spoke of a
prominent state official, whose infiu-
ence, 1t is believed, was a prominent
factor in the defeat of the same bill
last year, who came to him yesterday
and promised his support of the
measure, saying that he had been
convinced that the state now needed
such state police force, or constab-
ulary The senator stated this morn
Ing that he Is more sanguine about
the passage of the bill this year than
he WAS last year, because of the wave
of public sentiment that has swept
the state since the Roosevelt strike
in favor OF such a body of men to
protect life and property.
Opposition of Labor Men.
Those who favor the measure ex-
pect serious opposition by the un-

doubtful If their campaign against
the bill will be as effective in results
as at the last legislative session, In
view of the recent riots and blood
shed at Roosevelt, which, 1t is agreed
could have been prevented If there
had been state constabulary ON the
scene to protect life and property and
preserve order.

Editorial Comment
Striking at American Shipping.

tNew York Herald)
The secretary of labor, Mr.. W. B.
Wilson is credited with the absurd
statement that the seamen's act, that
is driving the American flag off the
seas, will place the ship owners of
all nations on an equality"
He bases this upon his own predic-
ton that foreign seanlen will not be
long in demanding the same privi-
leges the act gives to &eamcn of this
country" Even if before long they
We're foolish enough to make such de-
mands they could not enforce them,
and meanwhile the newborn Ameri-
can merchant marine is doomed to eA-
tinction.
That Mr. Wilson, who is the rea,
author of the La Toilette act, should
talk in this strain is not SO surpris-
ing or. disquieting as to find the sec
rotary of the treasury, Mr. McAdoo,
declaring that lit is simply fatuous
to hope that private capital will pro-
vide ships"
This suggests that when congress
meets there will be opposition to re-
peal of the pernicous act which
makes it impossible for Americans to
own and operate ships under their
own flag and a renewal of the ne
farious scheme for government own
ership of seagoing vessels.

Another Wasted Effort.

Democratic carelessness has raised

The administration Of the law is
delegated to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue.
Section Z, article / OF the constitu-
ton provides that "all bills raising
revenue shall originate in the House of
Representatives"
It is on this section Of the constitu-
ton that the plaintiffs in the suit re-
ly. together with the claim that the
Smith bill was in the class referred to
=. in the constitutional requirement and
the fact that the law was first passed
= by the Senate.
The courts may or may not decide
the case in favor Of the government.
Il. The fact remains that by the exercise
: of ordinary care and forethought, the
Democrats could have prevented all
doubt and litigation on this point by
the simple expedient of first passing
the measure in the House.
- Their failure to exercise such care
still further contributes to the increas-
ing evidence of Democratic inef7iciency.
