sion is Question at Trenton
10y Eyenins New. corrsspondsnt.l

IBy Evening News Correspondent.1
TRENTON. March 5-The House
of Assembly after ~transacting a lot
of routine business adjourned for
the week. It's action In passing over
the veto Of the governor on the
Wallworth bill which creates a new
utility board Of three $4,000 COM
m~issioners now puts the appoint
ments up to the governor next Mon
day night.
Speculation is now being INDUCED
In as to just whom will eventually
land these positions. The law pro-
sides for a minority representation
and II Is understood that the senate
will insist on exercising its right to
a part In the selection of these men
to the utmost. The bill as passed
and placed on the statute books,
leaves the board free from any re-
moval power by the governor. So
that In the event It should grant
a ten cent fare on evidence. which
should not justify such a rate. the
commission would still be immune
from the wrath OF the people as ex-
pressed through the governor.
Under the law Mr.. Edwards can
send to the senate next Monday
night three nominations, two Demo-
Gratis and n Republican. There
has heen locked up in the senate
judiciary committee the five names
which Mr.. Edwards sent in after he
removed the old commissioners.
These men are Colonel Walter +.
Wittimore OF Sussex county. and
Treadwell of Newark. Republicans,
and former Senator James A. c.
johnson OF Bergen. Congressman
James Hammil of Jersey City. for
mer Assemblvman Arthur A. Quinn.
president State Federation of Labor.
The last three mentioned are DEM
oerats.
The governor Is confronted with
the situation to pick three of the
FIVE under the Wallworth law and
one mans guess is as good as an
others here today just whom he
will nominate. OF course, the five
who have originally been nominated
have no legal status in the senate,
inssmueh as the governor appointed
them under the old utility act OF
1911 which has been superseded by
the Wallworth law. But 1t is be-
1ieved that Mr.. Edwards will first
seek to have three of these five con-
firmed by resembling TO the senate
three names of those originally
nominated.
There vas some talk here today
that he would likely send in former
Senator johnson and Congressman
Hammil. as the Democrats, but
there was no definite idea as to
he would select for the Re-
publican places.
He may name Colonel wittimore
who is now serving on the highway
commission and is one of the orig
fnal five nominated. There has also
been talk of former Mayor Harry
of Atlantic City. Mr..
Bacharach Is understood to be far
in the lead for the place of internal
revenue collector for South Jersey.
having the backing of United States
Senator Edge. but he is now being
doomed for the utility board.
It is expected that before the
three men are finally chosen the
governor and the senate will fight
out several more rounds in the util-
ity board controversy.

ACTIONS
AT COUNTY JAIL
Roosevelt, So. River and Perth
Amboy Inmates Garry on
Fierce These Days.

[By Evening News stan Correspondent.1
NEW BRUNSWICK, March a.
Several of the inmates of the county
jail have been acting most peculiar
ly for the past several days and hive
the authorities wondering as to the
reasons for their actions. Ale Mate
of South River, who was committed
to the county jail for writing threat
ening letters to Rev. Sigismund
Lakey of New Brunswick. has been
on a hunger strike and declares his
intention of continuing his fast for
nine days and nine nights. When
the cal are brought to the other
inmates of the Jail, Mate sinks to his
knees and spends his time in prayer.
Some time ago the man was COM
mitted to the ~penitentiary for neglec-
ting to provide for his children. Rev.
Lakey was instrumental in caring
for the children at a home and 1t is
thought that this is the reason that
the letters were sent. The man is
thought to be unbalanced.
Mile Sterick, OF Perth Amboy..
who was confined to the county jail
as being incorrigible, has been laps-~
ing into hysterical fits whenever ner
meals are served to her. The laugh
ing and yelling keeps up often for
two hours at a time.
Anthony Dubreck, of Roosevelt,
who is confined to the Jail for two
months. for carrying concealed
weapons, has declared his intention
of doing no more work which is as
signed to him. Dubreck claims that
he prefers to go to the electric
chair rather than continue with the
odd jobs which are allotted him. His
popularity takes the form of maxi
ing his bed on the floor when it
comes time to retire, instead of
upon the iron bedsteads that form
the beds in the jail.
