SENATE PASSES
JFTNEY BILL
Brown Refuses to Vote for
Measure - Says Amboy
People Have Sent Protests
IBy Eveninr New. Correspondent.

BY Evening NeWs CoTfesponoeuI1
TRENTON, March 29.-The jitney
bill is through the senate and now is
up to Governor Edwards for final
disposition. 1t went through the
upper house last evening by vote
of IL to 8. following a hearing in the
afternoon before the senate judiciary
committee. where 1t was urged by
various interests mostly from New
ark, which held that the operations
of busses should be regulated by the
state as well as the trolley lines,
with which they compete. Opponents
of the measure. one of them was
Mayor Charles p. Gillen. attacked
the bill as unnecessary. The senate
veto on the measure follows:
Ayes: Allen, Case, Hagaman,
Heath. Mackay. Martens. Runyon,
Sturgess, Wellworth, B. II. White, c.
d. White, Whitney--12.
Nays: Bright. Parry, Simpson,.
Not recorded: Barber. Brown,
Kays, Reeves. Smith. Stevens-6.
Senators Simpson. Democrat OF
Hudson, and Parry, Republican of
Essex. attacked the bill on final pas
sage. "It is said one company is
back of this bill," declared the for
mer. Il don't know whether that
is true or false, but do know that
this bill will stamp out the jitneys
and only the street car lines will ben.
eft from it. The public. whose in
terests should come first. Will not
benefit from it. Just as the stage
coach lines could not impede the
progress of the steam railroads in
days gone by, neither can the troll
ley interests stop the competition of
the jitney bus
Senator Brown, Democrat. of Mid
dlesex, while declaring he believed
in some form of regulation for the
iitneys, added that he had received

CH|RnPRAGTOR
FIGHT ENDED
Puts HeaIers Under State
Regulation and Gives Them
Representation on Board.
ts~ Evsnins News correspondsns.I

%
TRENTON, March 29.-The House
of Assembly in the presence OF
crowded galleries and delegations
on the floor made up of medical men
and chiropractors, finally disposed
of the controversy as to the reguIa-
tion and licensing of the chiroprae-
tors. by passing senate bill No. 14s
which puts them under the supervls-
ion of the State Medical Board, and
gives them a representative on that
board. The vote was 40 to IA.
The measure now goes to the sem
ate for consideration. II abolishes
the present state board of chiroprac-
tors, created by the legislature OF
1920, and gives to the State MEDICAL
Board full regulation of these heal
ers, including the question of their
educational qualifications.
Large delegations of both factions
of practitioners came here early yes
terday to attend a hearing lasting
several hours. conducted by the spe-
ciaI com mittee, named by the Re
publican house caucus several weeks
ago, to effect a compromise. Assem-
blyman Eldridge. of Union, is chair
man OF this committee, the other
members Mr.. Downs, of Morris, and
Mr. Tattersall. of Passaic.
Before the main bill was passed
last night Chairman Eldridge at
tempted TO have three substitutes,
offered by his committee for as
many bills, previously introduced,
adopted by the House. The first
substitute was for senate No 49 and
was beaten by a vote of SO to 10.
This vote was a test of strength OF
the forces of the medicos and chiros
in the House and when it was taken
1t became apparent to every one that
the doctors had won and were in
command of the situation.
Mr.. Eldridse explained that these
substitutes would put three chiro-
practors on the State Medical Board
and whereas there is no education
al requirements now except a brief
one in a chiropractor school, under
the recommendation OF the commit
tee the new practitioner would be
required to have four years of high
school and beginning in 1924 appli-
cants would be required to have one
year of college in arts and science
and in 1925. two years. He declared
that IL would be impossible to raise
the educational standards all the
way at one jump and therefore urged
the passage of the bill.
The feature OF the debate was a
speech against the substitute by the
colored member from Essex, Mr..
Alexander. who is a physician. He
declared that no chiropractor school
Of today measured up to the class of
medical schools.
"They say these men have per-
formed miracles" said the colored
physician, "but so has 'Swamproot'
and Lydia Pinkham.'
Assemblyman Lyons of Middlesex,
speaking for the substitute, declared
that senate No. 149 would not mean
regulation but strangulation OF chi
ropractors.

SOUTH AMBOY, March 29-No
explanation has yet been offered for
the mysterious explosion that oc-
rurred at the foot of John street on
Sunday night at 9:20 o'rlock. Yes
terday morning Sergeant Gleason of
the local police force visited the
scene and could get but little infor-
nation. He asked all who were
rear the scene at the time of the
explosion what their theory was,
but no one seemed to be able to
answer. The occupants of the house
at the foot of the street could not
be found yesterday. 1t was along
side of this house that the explosion
occurred.
1t is understood that number
of coal pirates are operating from
that section of the city. They are
strangers as far as can be learned
and it may be some of the activities
of these men that are responsible
for the flare up that caused so much
disturbance on Sunday evening. The
