Governor Charges "Invisible
Interests Are in Control OF
Part OF AeU Jersey Senate

BY Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Jan. 10 Charging
that invisible interests" are in con-
troll of a portion of the New Jersey
senate, Governor Edwards today
served notice that he would keep Up
his fight to bring about the instaiia-
ton OF new public utility commits
sion and thus carry out the popular
demand for a new board in place OF
the old commission which the gov
ernor has ousted.
The governor rejoices in the fact
that the Republican majority in ..ne
nor's appeals. four senator's on the
Republican side having already
joined the six Democratic senators
in voting to act on the governors ap-
pointments to the new commission.
while ten Republican senators are
still fighting TO prevent action
The governor sees an open split In
the Republican party if the ''invis-
ible interests" insist on trying fur
ther to thwart the popular will.
When the new legislature meets
tomorrow noon the governor will
re-submit the names of Con-
gresham James A. Hamill, of Hud-
son; Walter ii. Whittemore. of Sus-
sex: State Labor Federation Presi-
dent Arthur Quinn. of Middlesex:
Treadwell Cleveland, of Essex. and
former Senator James G. johnson,
of Bergen. as members of the new
public utility commission and he
will again ask the senate for con-
firmation.
Here is the statement issued by
the governor today.
The action of the Republican state
senate Wednesday in refusing to
confirm my nominations for the
Public Utility Commission marks
the end of the first round of. the
fight between the people on the one
hand and certain malign and invisi-
BILE interests on the other hand. SO
far these invisible interests have
demonstrated that they can control
a sufficient number of Republican
senators TO carry out the first stage
OF their fight to control this COM
mission. That plan is to delay any
action by the existing senate until
after the new legislature, over
whelming Republican in both
branches. shall take Office tomorrow.
Then the plan is to remove the pow
er of appointment. of these commits
sioners from the governor and to
vest it in certain members of our
courts. who are believed to be under
the influence of these interests.
Although. these interests have won
the first round of this night. it does
not by any means follow that they
can win in the end. The fact that
four Republican senators. Senator
Runyon of Union, Senator Whitney
of Morris. Senator Pilgrim of Essex.
and Senator Bright of Ocean. Joined
with the Democratic senators in vot-
ing to sustain my appointments is
strong evidence that these interests
will find it difficult to whip a ma
jority of the incoming legislature in
to line in support of their plan to
secure the appointment of a COM
mission which they can control.

LAW MAKERS
WILL CONVENE
New Legislature Will Follow
Closely Present One -
Women to Take Seats.
TWO WOMEN MEMBERS
Another Feature Of Session
Will be Presence of Lone
Democrat in Lower House
BY Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, San. 10.-The new
session of the New Jersey legis-
lature was upon the eve of its open
ing today. The 1920 lawmaking
body. which has continued in ses-
sion all year, because the Republi-
can majority wanted to keep a
check on Governor Edwards, will
die at midnight to night and fol-
lowing closely upon its heels. the
1921 body will convene at noon to-
morrow. when both senate and
House will organize for work and
the battle between the G.. o. p. and
the Democratic administration will
be on again. Although the 1920
legislature adopted a resolution
when it met here some weeks ago
to adjourn then until IL o'clock,
January IL, it is the opinion of
those versed in state affairs and the
Interpretation OF the state constitu-
ton that it dies automatically at
midnight tonight. The constitution
says that the new legislature must
take Office on the second Tuesday in
January, which is presumed to
mean that 1t comes into being the
first minute of tomorrow, which is
the second Tuesday.
Precedents will be broken in sew
eral ways tomorrow in the House of
assembly when two women legis-
ialors take their. seats. This Is the
fisrt time in the states history that
women have been elected to the
lawmaking body. The same is true
in the case of DIR. Walter G. Alex
fander, the eolored member, who Is
the first of his race in this state to
be, elected to the Legislature.
Also the ceremonies Will include
the Induction of Assemblyman
Harry RunyOn, of Warren, the lone
Democrat In the assembly. The
Republicans will organize the
House where they Will have fifty
one. George s. Hobart, of Essex,
will be chosen speaker and in the
senate Collins B. Allen, of Salem,
will be chosen president.
After each House organizes a
joint committee will inform Cover
nor Edwards the legislature is ready
to receive anything he may wish to
communicate to it. The chief ex-
ecutive will then submit his first an
nual m, ssage and his first budget
message. 1t lis expected he may
have some nominations also, espec-
tally as he will have to resubmit
the names of his utility board which
the senate failed to confirm.
The death of Assemblyman-elect
John B. Rosser, of Hudson, will
leave one vacant chair in the House
tomorrow. Oddly enough too, it is
occupied the first year he represent
ed Hudson county in the legisla-
ture back in 1907. 1t had been as
signed to Rosser by Custodian of
the Capitol John S. Smith and the
deceased members's name had al
ready been engraved on plate and
attached to the desk.

As. 6 R. CONTROVERSY OF
INTEREST IN THIS CITY

Considerable interest is being
manifested IN this city over the suit
started by Karl Eilers against the
Guggenheim management of the
American Smelling e. Refining Com
pany. Eilers is a former director
and vice president of the company
and. in his suit. besides alleging 4
refusal by the company to permit
an examination of its books made
various charges of misconduct and
mismanagement upon the part OF
the directors.
Simon Guggenheim, president of
the company, has prepared a
lengthy pamphlet, which he has sent
TO stockholders concerning the suit
started by Eilers. This pamphlet
planned, in response to requests for
additional information.
''Thcse charges, Mr.. Gugsenheim
declared, "he (Mr. Eilers) could not
be called upon to prove on the mo-
tion heard: they could be met only
by denial and answer setting form
the facts. But they received wide
publicity in the public press to the
necessary injury of the company.
In view of the total absence of any
legitimate ground for the action.
stockholders are asked to judge for
themselves whether the petition was
filed in good faith.'
In his pamphlet Mr.. Guggenheim
gives figures showing. the growth in
business, assets and income since the
Guggenheim connection. He denies.
both in his own behalf and that of
his brothers. all charges of improper
conduct brought BY Eilers and as
serts that at all times he and his
brothers have sought honestly and
faithfully to the best of their ability
to further the interests and the well
fare of the American Smelling &
Refining Company"
This company has a large plant in
Perth Amboy. which explains much
of the interest in the case being
shown By people in this city.
