PASS BILL To
AID MERCHANTS
Fly by Night" Measure to
Curb I.,nerant Merchants
Adopted BY Senate
UP TO TIE GOVERNOR
Regulates Those Who Rents
Store for Sales OF a Non
DeScript Character.

Fly by Night" bill number $50,
which the Chamber of Commerce
in this city and other merchant or
ganizations of the state have been
working for, passed the Senate last
night and now goes to Governor
Edward l. Edwards for his sigma
ture. 1t is expected that the gov
ernor will sign the bill thus making
it a law. The object of the bill
which was introduced in the assem-
bly, by Harry G. Eaton, is to regulate
the itinerant merchant who comes
to a city rents a store without a
lease, and sells merchandise of a
non descript character at the best
possible price he can secure for
same. 1t also effects street corner
vendors.
During the past few years, mer-
chants from New York, Newark.
New Brunswick and other places in
this vicinity have made it a business
to bring goods to this city on market
days and sell them at the farmers
market where only farm products
are supposed to be sold. Nothing
could be done to stop this practice
under the local laws. and as there
was no state law under which II
could be stopped. the Chamber OF
Commerce worked for the passage
of the present bill. as under its pro-
visions the selling of everything in
the farmers market but farm pro
duce can be eliminated.
Secretary Bergen of the Chamber
of Commerce said today, that the en-
forcement of the law in this city
would be started as soon as neces-
sary provisions can be made.
The bill compels the itinerant
merchant to make a detailed state
ment of the meI chandise he offers
for sale: the location of the goods
he sells, and to pay the city treas
urer two per cent of the fair cash
value of the merchandise, offered
for sale or in lieu of same, >he may
apply for a license which the bill
proposes to set at 5000. The H.
cense extends for a period of thirty
days. The penalty for not follow
ing out the provisions of this bill
are set at a minimum of $25 and a
maxinoum of 500. The bill speci-
fies that charitable or religious
societies are exempt from any OF
the provisions contained therein.
The local Chamber of Commerce,
through the merchants committee
and Secretary Bergen worked hard
to get this bill through as it is the
general opinion that with this law
in force many of the conditions at
the farmers market, which are not
pleasing to the local merchants, can
be corrected. In order to get the
bill through Senator Thomas Brown
was appealed to by the chamber
and he worked for the passage of
the bill.

MAYOR To ACT
ON DIRTY WATER
Complaints of Rust in Hot
Water. Mayor Takes Steps
to Remedy Condition.

AS the result of numerous COM
plants received by Mayor William
c. Wilson concerning the iron in
the city water when it is heated,
he declared this morning that he
would take up with the water de-
partment at once the possibility of
adopting some method whereby this
iron might be removed. The iron in
the water is not noticeable when it
is cold. the mayor said, but when it
is heated for baths or other use the
iron makes its appearance on what
ever it touches.
Complaints of this condition have
increased. the mayor said, since the
water department increased their
rates. The general sentiment, he
continued, seems to be that enough
money is being paid by the consum-
ers to get water which is fit to take
bath in or used in washing clothes
without leaving it's trade mark"
Filter systems are used by those
desiring clean water, he said. but
such methods should not be neces-
sary in private homes when one de-
sires to draw hot water for bath.

TRENTON, April 9:-1n the opin-
ion of Major Leonidas Coyle, state
commander of the American Legion
and one of the leaders in the Ma
tional Guard fight against Brigadier
General Howard S. Borden, United
States Senator Edges action In issu-
ing a statement in Borden's favor
should not be taken seriously. but
rather as a polite effort to discharge
social obligations. This was con-
tanned in long statement issued to-
day by Coyle. who resigned as pro-
test over the election of Borden.
Incidentally. Coyle stated that the
investigation to date shows that the
Third Regiment, the South Jersey
organization in the Guard, is demor-
allied over the Borden matter and
the only possible hope of retaining
it will be the elimination of General
Borden.
"And it should not be a difficult
question to decide whether General
Borden is a greater military asset
to the state than the Third Regi-
ment, stationed in its southern coun-
ties" declared the Legion command

count for the silence which the labor
