COMMISSION RULE ■
IS STILL SUPREME
Wlttpcnn Faction in Assembly
Fails to Overthrow Jersey
City Government.
ESSEX DELEGATION HELPS
TO DEFEAT THE MEASURE
Smith Introduces Bill to Regu
late the Loan Sharks’
Activities.
(Special to the Newark Stnr.|
TRENTON, Feb. 10.—The Essex
delegation In the Assembly last night
used its combined strength to defeat
George J. Brackner’s quo warranto
bill, which had for its object the
overthrow of the commission form of
government in Jersey City. The Witt
penn interests were behind the meas
ure. and it w’as looked upon as a test
of strength of the rival Jersey City
forces. The House passed six other
measures on final reading.
It was said that Governor Fielder
was opposed to the Brackner bill, and
James R. Nugent, city counsel of
Newark, did not favor the measure.
Owing to these peculiar conditions
the progress of the bill was watched
with great interest, especially by
many who expected that Wittpenn s
followers would put up a hard fight.
Spite Bill, Sayw Agnew
Assemblyman Arthur M. Agnew
asked leave to ask a question, and,
having received it, demanded of Mr.
Brackner, “Who drew this bill?"
Mr. Brackner appealed to the chair,
asking if it were necessary he should
answer the question.
“After that answer T withdraw the
question," said Assemblyman Agnew’, :
who spoke against the bill, which he
Characterized as a "spite” bill, saying
Its drawing was animated by feeling
endowered over the defeat of a cer
tain faction in Hudson County.
The first labor bill to pass the
House of Assembly was passed last
night w’hen bill No. 16. by Assembly
man Arthur A. Quinn, of Middlesex,
went through with a fair margin of
votes. This bill regulates advertise
ments and solicitations to be used in
advertisements for employees during
•trikes, lockouts or other labor
trouble disputes.
The bill of Assemblyman Godfrey,
of Atlantic County, was passed by
unanimous vote of the full House,
with sixty affirmative votes. It au
thorizes trust companies and State
banks to become members of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, organized in the
Federal reserve district in w'htch such
companies or banks are located.
Godfrey Alins at Labor Scare.
Assemblyman Godfrey also Intro
duced an Interesting measure de
signed to alleviate labor conditions
^ in New Jersey. He believes that the
reports about the number of unem
m ployed men In the State are exagger
ated, and his resolution proposes that !
a committee compile a record of the
employed and unemployed. He be- j
lieves that the results Will show’ more
people at work this year and busi
ness conditions generally better than
at any time for years back.
His resolution was that a special
committee of six members of the
present House be appointed, three of
whom shall be members of the Re
publican party. The committee shall
be appointed by the chair within one i
day after the passage of this resolu- !
tlon and the committee shall within j
five days after their appointment •
mail to each known employer of labor I
engaged in any manufacturing or !
producing industry In this State, as |
well as employers whose places of i
business are located out ol’ this State!
but any of whose employees reside in |
this State, a letter requesting the j
following information:
Information to Bo Sought.
Character of business; number of j
persons employed December. 1913.
December, 1912, February, 1914, and |
February, 1913; whether the present
tariff bill affected the industry in
■which they are engaged favorably or
unfavorably, and if the business of
each is not as yet affected is the bill
likely to affect It favorably or un
favorably.
The committee shall also mall to
the presiding officer of each labor
union and such other organizations
having members who res.de in this
State, whether the factory or place
of employment of such members shall
be located in this State or not, a let
ter asking the name of organization,
number of members actually working
on the same dates as the other
t-letter.
This question will also be asked:
"Has the number of unemployed per
sons in your vicinity increased or
decreased during the past year, and
kindly give the reasons for such in-1
crease or decrease?’ The commit-j
tee is to cause the replies to the let-1
tera to be tabulated and the results ;
to be reported to the Legislature at j
Its present session. All the replies!
are to be public documents, except'
replies of such persons as shall re- I
quest that their repl'es shall not be
Sxnade so.
All replies as soon as received are
to be filed in the Department of
La bor.
Mr. Godfrey’s resolution was re
ferred to the judiciary committee.
Railroad Relief Fonda.
Assemblyman Magnus Bredenbek,
of Hudson, introduced a resolution
proposing that a committee investi
t gate all voluntary relief funds of
" railroad employees, especialy those
engaged on the Pennsylvania. He |
says that the relief funds are really

insurance funds and should come un
der the supervision of the State com- j
miesioner of banking and insurance, i
Mr. Bredenbek said in support of j
his resolution that there is reason to 1
believe that subscription to the fund
is obligatory and not voluntary.
"I am informed that only a small
number of the employees off the
Pennsylvania Railroad desire this
fund to continue," he said. "They do
not want to contribute to the fund ,
but feel themselves obliged to do so, j
I have been told. From the fund they
receive insurance for death, sickness I
and disability. Their contributions !
to the fund are held in a such a way 1
that their leaving the employment of I
that railroad company forfeits them j
all rights to the benefits of the fund
or to the sums they have con
tributed."
The resolution was supported by
Assemblyman Burton, of Middlesex,
and was adopted.
Mr. Richards, of Atlantic county,
later introduced a resolution calling
for the appointment of a committee l
of three assemblymen by the speaker
to investigate the financial affairs of ,
the West Jersey and Seashore Rail
road Company to discover whether it
can afford to erect a new' railroad
terminal at Atlantic City.
Say* Railroad I* Paying.
Mr. Richards’s resolut.on declared
that the railroad company is earning
more than 6 per cent, on its physical
property; that the terminal facilities
at Atlantic City are grossly in
adequate and antiquated, and that -the
main business of the line is that be
tween Camden to Atlantic City. If
the Public Utilities Commission has
not the power to order the building
of a new station at Atlantic City, the
committee is instructed to report back
to the Assembly and the Assembly
is to pass a law empowering that
commission to do so. The resolution
was passed.
Both Assemblyman Bredenbek’s
and Assemblyman Richards's resolu
tions, while they represent views held
by both men, might not have been
so quickly introduced and passed it
s said, if the recent action of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in discrediting
State employees passes had not/ been
taken.
Sex Hygiene BUI.
Assemblyman Rennet H. Flschler,
of Essex, put in his bill which would
forbid the teaching of sex hygiene in
the schools. The only change he made
in his original draft of the measure
was to change the clause referring
to a penalty for a violation. He
does not provide a penalty in the re
vised bill.
The bill stipulates that:
“The teaching of sex hygiene or
sexology and the distribution of any
books or pamohlets in which such
subjects are treated or discussed in
any school receiving any portion of
the moneys appropriated for the sup
port of public schools is hereby pro
hibited.
“This act shall take effect imme
diately.”
Mr. Fishier, who lives in Montclair,
where the Board of Education and
most of the citizens are flatly opposed
to sex hygiene teachings to young
sters. says he has sounded public
feeling in many places during the
past week.
“I find the strongest feeling pre
vailing against sex hygiene as a part
of the public school curriculum and
have been assured in all quarters that
the bill is directed along the right
lines,” he said last night.
Temporary Police .Justices.
Despite opposition. Majority Leader |
Joseph M. Branegan's bill providing j
for a means of filling police benches i
temporarily vacant passed the House
last night by a vote of 36 to 23.
This bill, Assembly No. 64, provides
that police justices may sit as Judges
of other police courts in first class
cities, and also that any justice of the
peace, or attorney at law, or the
clerk of such police court may sit in
the place and instead of the regu
lar police judge.
Assemblyman Bredenbek opposed
the bill and showed his hand by re
verting to conditions in Jersey City,
where both pol'.ce judges are ap
pointments of the anti-Wittpenn fac
tion of Democracy. He said: “We
have two police judges in Jersey City
and the work is not so hard that one
cannot sit in both courts when
necessitated by the others absence.”
Assemblymen Mulligan and Fisk, of
Hudson, also opposed the bill in
speeches.
To Restrict Loan Agencies.
Assemblyman Thomas J. Smith, of
Essex, introduced a bill to regulate
the conduct of collection agencies, i
bureaus and offices.
It provides that no person, partner- !
ship, association or corporation, ex
cept banks, trust companies and at- ,
torneys-at-law of the State shal'
conduct a collection agency or en
gage in any way in the business of
collecting, without tiling with the 1
Secretary of State a bond of $5,000. 1
The term cf the bond is to be at
least one year. The Secretary of
State is to keep a record of bonds
and all agents and agencies, with
their addresses, etc., to be open at
all times to the pub’ic.
The penalty for non-observance is
to be a fine of $500 or three months
imprisonment, or both.

FAITHFUL DUGS
GUARD Dili OF
DEADREaUSE
McCormick, Who Used to Have
Pets Perform for Children,
Found Lifeless.
1 Two faithful dogs are todny guard
ing a hut at the Meeker avenue dumr
near the Elizabeth line, awaiting th
return of their master, Frank Mo
Cormick, who was found dead the^
from exhaustion yesterday.
McCormick was a w^ll-known cha1
^acter and is mourned by the children
in the vicinity for whom he woulc
make his faithful dogs perform trick
to amuse them.
The hut in which the recluse liver

feet wide and five feet long. A1
though the structure—if it can be
so called—is situated in an open space
it served McCormick and his dogs for
years. _ , ,
Living the life of a rec'use, or ms
own choice, McCormick was a fami
liar and kindly character. Testcrdav
afternoon John Bonnett of 674 * outh
Twelfth street, was passing the hut
and heard the whines of the two docs.
Seeing the door shut, he attempted to
enter, but the faithful an mals would
not permit of an intrusion to them
master's house.
Realizing that something was wrong
within. Bonnett sought the services of
Patrolman Theodore Fisher, of the
Sixth precinct. Covered with two
overcoats and a potato sack, McCor
mick was face downward on the floor.
Believ ng that life yet rema ned,
Fisher sent for an ambulance from
the City Hospital. When the doctor
arrived'he said McCormick had been
dead several hours. The body of the
recluse #ns then taken to Ho.le a
mMcCormick’s generosity towards
children who would come to his hut,
made him well liked in the vicinity
in which he resided and he could
come and go as he willed without
molestation.
During the past several days Mc
Cormick has not been as active as
he had been, but this singularly
enough did not attract the attention
o his aequaintences until he was
ound dead. He was always cheerful
and never apeared to be in want.
The hut in which McCormick and
his pets merely existed, was con
structed in a primeval way. In some
places one can see light through the
openngs between the connecting parts
while the roof was leaky arfd in dan
ger of falling through.
Two soap boxes, cooking utensils,
an improvised stove and bags to
gether with several old overcoats,
l.uad?„-Up the lnterl°r furnishings of
the house.”

Cormick and pets comfortable is a
novel arrangement. Turned upside
down against the wail is a dishpan.

bottom knocked out. In this a grate
was placed. The top of the ash-can
was covered with tin, to which a pipe
was attached, thus making a chim

THIN PEOPLE
CAN INCREASE WEIGHT
Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
I or 15 pounds of healthy “stay there”
| fat should try eating a little Sargol
i with their meals for a while and note
\ results. Here Is a good test worth
i trying. First, weigh yourself and
; measure yourself. Then take Sargol
—one tablet with every meal—for two
weeks. Then weigh and measure
i again. It isn’t a question of how you
| look or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape
! measure will tell their own story, and j
i most any thin man or woman can
i easily add from five to eight pounds
1 in the first fourteen days by following
! this simple direction. And best of all,
I the new flesh stays put.
Sargo] does not of itself make fat,
I but mixing with your food, it turns
! tho fats, sugars and starches of what
| you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
: producing nourishment for the tis
sues and blood—prepares it In an
! easily assimilated form which the
| blood can readily accept. All this
' nourishment now passes from your
jbodylis waste. But Sargol stops the
I waste and does It quickly and makes
I the fat producing contents of the
| very same mea’s you are eating now
develop pounds and pounds of healthy
flesh between your skin and bones.
Sargol is safe, pleasant, efficient and
inexpensive.
Druggists sell it in large boxes—
forty tablets to a package—on a guar
antee of' weight increase or money
back.
