AUUNY. April 20. Richard Croker's schomo
tohave the Leglslnturo direct Now York city
toeHnbllshamunlclmlBas plant was practi
cally M l"1 ln ,ho Sennte to-day. Thoquos
t'on came before the Senate on a motion of
Bfnntnr Donnelly, tho sponsor for the bill, to
dlcbarc" tlio CltCos CommUtoft from tho fur
ther ci nlderntlon of tho mpnsuro. Ho unsuo
reMfully endeavored to explain the advantages
which would result from tho establishment
cf a municipal gas plant, but studiously
m-oiiied any referenoe to tho failure of Phila
delphia's municipal gas plant to acoompllsh
the purposes 'or which It was estnbllshod. so
that It had to bo sold to a prlvato corporation.
The hill violates the home-rule Idea, which
the cardinal principle of Tammany Hall. It
does not authorize tho Now York city authori
ties to efitnhll'h n municipal eat plant, but dl
recto them to do so When Honntor Btranahan
oiled Renntor Orndy's attontlon to that pro
vlalnnof the Mil the Tammany orator stam
B, red and stuttered an explanation for Its ne-
cesllv. , , , ,
t-eiut-ir fitranahan said he was surprised
that the New York city authorities should pro
pne to bond the city for $30,000,000 to build a
city Ras riant, when for tho past eight years
the city authorities had been claiming that the
city's bonded Indebtedness was so near the
cmitlt'itlonal limit that It could not expend
50,000,01)0 to build an underground rapid
transit road Ho asserted that rapid transit
was demanded by the peoplo of Now York otty,
Tvhili1 the only sontlmont In favor of a munlcl
ral gas plant won that manufactured by Rich
er il Crokor and his district leaders within their
own organization It wns purely a political
and not a business proposition. Tho assur
ance of the Tammany legislators In fathering
such a schomo was amazing. Which existing
ga plant Richard Croker intended to purchase
through his city officials nobody but ho him
self know? Senator Btranahan said ha had
tome thoughts upon tho Question, as he be
lieved other Senators had.
Senator drub'. In defending the measure,
dlln t dlcuss the question at Issue, but criti
cised tlm Legislature for continually rofuslng
to sccedo to tho demands of Tammany nail
for legislation, whether the propositions prs
icnted were right or wrong. Inferentially, he
(declared this to be his Idea of home rule.
Fenator- I'ord and Klsberc said they were
not opposed to municipal ownership of fran
chises, but they did believe that rapid transit
was a more burning question than that of tho
establishment of a municipal gas plant. Sena
tor Ford thought that If tho city was to expend
any money In such a direction it should bo to
establish a rapid transit route. Senator Els
berg said that In view of Richard Croker's tes
timony before the Mazet Investigation Com
mittee, that he was in politics for what he could
get out of It. he did not bolleve In putting un
der the Mipcrvlslon of Tammany Hall the ex
penditure ol $25,000,000 for the establishment
of acltygaj plant. .......
Senator McCarren objected to the construc
tion placed by Mr. Elsberg on Mr. Croker's
testimony boforo the Mazet committee, and
declared that tho spectacle presented by tho
Mazet committee's work was a disgrace to ths
political party which lnstlgatod ft. Ho said
every one knew the rolations which existed
between political leaders, and that even when
tho Democrats were In power ln tho State Mr.
Croker would hesltato before launching such
an Investigating committeo upon his political
opponents
Senator Donnelly's motion to discharge the
Cities Committee from the further considera
tion of the bill was lost by the strict party vote
of 20 to 27. Ths absonteos were Senators

Tbe Two Republican Senators from Ho Ch
ester Say They Will Not Vote for It-
Albany. April 20. This morning, when Sen
ators Armstrong and FarsonB. Republicans, of
Rochester announcod that they would not sup
port the State Police bill if it was brought up
to-day the ohancos of the bill's passage became
slim Indeed. It was tho intention of Senator
Ellsworth, the Republican loader, to call the
bill up and have It passed by the Bennte to-day.
The announcement made by the two Roches
ter Senators, however, caused him to dofor his
plans and he will not move to advance the bill
until he is satisfied that ho will havo the re
quired twenty-six votes to pass It.
The bill cannot bo passed without the sup
port of Senators Armstrong and Parsons.
These Senators never before have been known
to bolt a party policy, and whethor thoy will
persist ln the stand they have taken upon this
question remains to be seen. All they would
say to-day wan that they believed tho senti
ment of the citizens of Rochester was against
tho bill, and that to-day. at least, they would
not vote for its passage. W hether their senti
ments will change ln this regard by next week
is problematical.

amined, but two depositions wero reoelved

seriously affect tho decision of the court.

from Mr. Barry, a New York newspaper man.
who wns present with Mr. Heed when tho latter

THE BOUDINOT TABLET PllKSESTED.
Commemorntea 'Washington's Luncheon at
Kliinbethtovvn on April 23, 1789.
Elizabeth, April 20. Iloudlnot Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution, this
morning placed n bronze tablet on the front of
tho Iloudlnot mansion, now tho Homo for
Agod Women, which was built beforo tho Revo
lutionary war and wns tho home of Clou. I'.llaa
Iloudlnot. tho first President of the Continental
Congress. The houso is famous ns having
been tho ono In which Iloudlnot entertained
Gen. Washington nt luncheon on April 'Si,
1780. when Washington was on his way to
New York for his Inauguration as the first
Trestdent of the United Stutes.
Tho presentation of tho tablet was made by
Mrs. Mary A. Putnam to Mrs. Charles P. Willis,
tho President of the Hoard of Managers ot the
home. 'I ho architect who designed tho tablet
wns Wllllnm Oedney Ueatty. great-grandson of
tho Into Major William Chotwood of r.ll..ibeth,
and his wife, daughter or I.leut.-Col. Francis
Barber, Third New Joroy liegiment, during
tho American war for indojjoiidenoc. and de
scendant of Kilns Iloudlnot hrst. the Huguenot
refugee vv ho camo to this country from Franco
ln 1W7.
On the day preeodlne tho luncheon which
tho tablet commemorates, Washington wns
met at Now llrunswick by Gov. Livingston of
Kllzabethtown, who rodo with him to Wood
bridge, wheio thoy speut the night. On tho
following morning Gen Washington wns met
there by n number of military companies,
under command of Gen, Matthias Ogden. and
escotted to Kllzabethtown. A brief recpp'lon
wns held at humuel Smith's tavern, now know n
nhtho liuckmnstor House. opposite the Court
Ifoiwo at Itahnay avenue nnd lirond street.
Washington then went to the residence of
Kllas Iloudlnot. where he met thn committee
of Congress nnd nn Illustrious company repre
senting nearly nil of the thirteen htnti-s
The china table serv Ico used on this occasion,
nnd also the Iloudlnot family sliver, are In per
fect preservation, apparently without a blem
ish, nnd were used to grace tho table at tho
luncheon given to President Harrison by the
Lawvers' (tub in the Equitable building on
April -t. 1B8H.
After tho luncheon Gen. Washington wns
escorted by a great procession to F.llzabeth
port. whero he ombarlced on nn elegantly dec
orated barge, and was rowed to New ork by
thlrteon sailors dressed In white, of whom
Thomas ItnndnH was coxswain.
Kllabeth has now three memorial tablets.
One of these Is on tho lecture room of tho First
Presbyterian Church, and marks the original
site of tho New Jersey College, founded by tho
Rev. Jonathan Dickinson, and a vcur later
moved to Prlnoeton. Anothor Is in commem

Army.
A COLOR LINE IN JERSEY SCnOOLS t
A Fropoaltion to Bepnrnte the Negro Chil
dren ln nn Knat Orange School.
Oiunoe. N. J.. April 20. The reported in
tention of the East Orange Hoard of Education
to separate tho negro chlldron In the Eastern
public Bchool from the white childroa and to
employ a negro woman to teach them has
caused a sslrlted controversy in East Orango.
In which the most vigorous opponents of the
scheme are tho white peonlo of wealth and cul
ture, many of them being Now York bankers
and business men. The public schools there
aro acknowledged to be the best ln New Jer
sey and are constantly being visited by promi
nent educators with a view to taking advan
tage of the advanced and progressive Ideas In
force in them.
The opponents ot the scheme assert that if
the plan Is to bo adopted in one school It
should bo extended to nil und that In addition
there should be separate classes for children
of Italian, German. French and Irish parent
age, all ot which are represented in tha town
ship. All but two of the members of the Board of
Education aro favorable to the change. These
nro William II. Davis and Henry White. Tho
latter Is a lawyer at "J80 llroadnav. New York,
an elder In tho Munn Avenuo Presbyterlnn
Church and a lay delegate to the forthcoming
General Assembly.
"I bellovo In equal rights," said Mr. White
yesterday. "The schools aro open to all nhll
dren without regard to race, color or creed. In
my opinion tho New Jarsey School law does
not permit ot any class or race distinction and
I am opposed toil even If the law permits It.
It is agalnrt the aim and purpose ot our pub
llo schoel ivstem. Publlo schools belong to
the people and all are entitled to exactly the
same rights, privileges and benefits without
regard to ra:e or color."
It 1b assorted that an attempt to compel
fiegrn children to attend other than tho regu
ar classes could be successfully resisted, and
the plan ot the Board of Education will not
be allowed to go Into effect without protest
nnd objection. The negroes themselves have
taken no part in the controversy so far. the op
position to the plan being confined to those
persons who the Board of Education evi
dently thought would favor theschei'e.
