Appropriations Are Cut.

The assembly cut the Appropriation
carried in the finance committee bill
| for the support of the state charitable
and penal institutions for the next two
| years by $39S,479 and then passed the
bill.
The total appropriation carried by
the bill as it passed the assembly is
s2,273,129. This is the exact sum spent
by the state on these institutions dur
ing the last two years. The vote by
which the cut was made was 81 TO 81,
and that by which the bill was passed
was 50 to %.
Former Gov james o. Davidson,
president Of the state board of con-
troll, and NJ. J. Tappins. secretary of
the board, appeared before the assem-
bly, in committee of the whole and
said the cut was entirely acceptable to
the board and that none of the charit-
able and penal institutions concerned
or any of their inmates would in any
respect suffer from the cut. They said
the board of control had fully con-
+ The cut was proposed in an amend
ment offered by Speaker Whittet
when the appropriation bill was taken
up for consideration. Whittet said
the amendment had been drawn after
he had carefully gone over the appro-
priation bill with members OF the
board of control. The cut first car
ried by the amendment was 1914, 479,
but when 1t came up for adoption it
was by the suggestion of the board
of control increased to $398,479. OPP

of the proposed cut, and at their sug

479. After a long discussion the COM
mittee of the whole rose and reported.
The amendment was then adopted and
the bill as amended passed.
Antiadministration members op-
posed the adoption Of the cut because
it was inspired by the governor They
charged that the cut was proposed for
political purposes, but the charge fell
fat after representatives of the board
of control said the cut would be en-
tirely acceptable to the board.
The members asked the representa-
tives of the board of control many
questions during the hearing and were
fully and frankly answered The re-
plies completely satisfied all the mem
bers except those who thought there
might be some politics in the move of
the administration for strict economy
in the management of state affairs
President Davidson said the policy of
the state in paying prisoners in the
state prison $4,000 for labor could
well be abolished as it, in his opin-

PLAYING FOR CRAWFORD

Back in the days when the
Chicago team of the American
league was led by Fielder Jones
and were fighting the Detroit
Tigers bitterly there was no love
lost between the teams.
One afternoon in a game on
the South side, Chicago, Jones
raced back to the fence and by
Ieaping high into the air and
spearing ball with one hand
robbed Crawford of a home run.
The next time Crawford came to
