Sullivan told of the Board of Trade meeting in Newark last week in which, out of a membership of 1,200 the, vote was seventeen against the bill and fifteen in favor, of it.

"Do you think if Newark believes this to be a bad bill that so- many would have absented themselves from this meeting? asked Mr. Sullivan. This, he contended, was the strongest' argument to show that Newark was not opposed to the bill as a city. He suspected the influence of the East Jersey Water Company upon the property owners who refuse to sell. It was proposed, by the bill to pay them a good price.

It was not right for sentiment, he declared, to interfere in the He believed Brooklyn Senator Move He Be Invited to Mind His Business An other Racing Message. By Telegraph to The News. Albany, April g. -Governor Hughes today sent special message to the Legislature, urging again the necessity of passing the anti-race track gambling The message reiterates the Governors that gambling at race tracks is not carried on through evasion of the law, but because oi the law as it now exists. The message further recommends legislation providing for direct nominations ana for' laws facilitating the construction of new subways.

The message suggests the advisability of creating a commission to investigate the methods of Wall Street. On receipt of the message, Senator Raines, in the Senate, moved that the portion of the message relating to race tracks be laid on the table with the Agnew-Hart bills and the renfaining portions be referred to the appropriate committee. Senator Grady bitterly attacked the Governor, saying that the executive was turning into a common soptd, knd that he exceeded his rights in reading a lecture to the0Legislature. Senator McCarren charged that the message of the Governor was a positive insult to the Senate. He startled everyond by saying that the Senate should respectfully send a message to the Governor inviting him to attend to his own business.

Senator Raines declared that in making this suggestion, Mr. McCarren had gone beyond his privileges as a Senator. The Governor is clearly within his rights in sending the message, declared Mr. Raines. New York, April 9.

August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club, in commenting on the vote on the anti-racing bills, said: The community is to be congratulated for the failure of the Governor so-called anti-race track legislation. If it is final, it is still more to be congratulated. The measures are misdirected reform. Racing will now be assured the continuance of honest and strict supervision and such evils as surround betting at the courses and are curable have brighter prospects for correction and regulation. This is, and has been, the aim of the Jockey Club.

It has always had the earnest! co-operation of the racing associations and has the assurance of the same in the future. DOUBLE FUNERAL FOR FIRE I VICTIMS William and Alexander Campbell to Be Buried Tomorrow Afternoon from Undertaking Room. The funeral of William and Alexander Campbell, who lost their live in the fire in the Church building early yesterday morning, will take place tomorrow afternoon from Gormleys morgue, where the bodies were placed after being taken from the hospital. I services will be conducted at 2.0 (oclock and interment will be made tn 'Cedar Lawn Cemetery. Considerable comment waa heard yesterday because there were no iron fire escapes on the building in which the Campbell bqy lost their lives.

Building Inspector Jelleme doe not think the building needs iron escapes, however, since it is well provided with wooden stairways at the rear, together with the front sairg. Neither Mr. Jelleme nor anyone else acquainted with the facts believes iron escapes would have prevented the deaths. ROLLER SKATING CRAZE GROWING Roller skating appears to increase in popularity every night. Hundreds of persons, and old, fly up and down the Main Avenue asphalt, and-the number grows each pleasant evening.

Passaic Street, too, is crowded with roller skaters, particularly the lower end. The rendezvous of skaters in Main Avenue is the vicinity of the Erie de- iiot. At times it is almost impossible or drivers to get past the depot without resorting to the cobblestone bed of the trolley tracks, skaters cannot glide. -Dealers fti roller skates here report an ever-growing trade. The skates sell at so low a figure that the poorest family can boast 6f a pair.

TEXAS FORT WILL WIN. that the time had come for Passaic, Rev. Alexander Irvine Gives an Interesting Talk at Willard Hall About 200 people assembled last night at Willard Hall to listen to a lecture given by the Rev. Alexander Irvine? of the Church of the Ascension, Fifth Avenue, York, on Why I Left the Church for Socialism and Why I Went Back. The speaker gave a short history of his jife, of his struggle for an education his studies in Oxford and Yale universities, his different charges after becoming a minister, in the South and and finally drifted over to his last pulpit in New Haven, Conn.

Itwas while at his church that Vile left the church for Socialism, and the reason he gave was especially interesting for his listeners, because it brought to mind an issue now before the people of Passaic. The fjantchise of th Water Company ran out, Mr. Irvine explained, and the labor union of the town started an agitation not to grant another franchise unless the Water Company paid for it, or gave free water to scliools and other public buildings. A special meeting in the City Hall was called and, after attending the annual meeting of our church, I made bee line for the council chambers and reached there at 10 o'clock. Here I saw half a dozen very prominent mem bers of tny congregation, whom I had missed at our annual meeting stockholders of the Water Company.

I spoke in favor of granting the demand of the people, but of no avail. The aldermen were won over by aome good-sized checks and the company received its franchise. My position minister received a still harder blow, when my congregation learned that William J. Bryan, whom I met whil in the West, paid me a The people of my church, down to the janitor, or rather up to the janitor, were strong Republicans and told me frankly that I was a Socialist, and I resigned the pulpit 1 founded the Peoples Church in New Haven, but members of my congregation lost their positions on account of being' associated with my church. I had to decide whether to be a minister or a man, and I chose the latter.

I went farming and on the advice of my friend. Jack London, took up writing for magazines. In a literary club I met the rector of the Church of of the Ascension, and he finally persuaded me to become his associate. I am not a minister today, I am a common Mister, a lay reader. I have given up the title of Reverend, In wLichby the way, I never believed, and should the present movement in the Church of Ascension fall to pieces, I will try to talk about righteousness and brotherhood of man in the market place, the Jewish temple, or the Catholic church, wherever 1 can gain entrance.

Mr. Irvine spoke of the after-meetings in his church, where multi-millionaires mingled with the most radical Socialists, both sides trying to uplift humanity. "I am not fighting the individual, I bear no hatred to anyone, I love my former congregations, God bless them; the' great movement I believe in. Socialism, can afford to be broad-minded, and I want to tell you right here, my comrades, that a man who hates, a mart Jwho i bitter, has lost his battle. I am fighting the scheme, the system, find dont want to be quoted as hating any of my fellow-men.

Asked for an explanation as to his conception of Socialism in general, he declared, "Socialism intends to give wealth to the man who creates weakh; the product of krtor to the producer; Tn the sweat of thy face shalt thoa eat 1 bread; that means that everyone shall work, be it with the pick and shovel or pen and ink, but he shill work, and he who won't work, sh. ll not eat And when the fear for their daily bread, for the health of their family, their homes, is taken away from the laboring men, then will come the upliftin' of our souls to higher, more beautiful things, to music, literatue and art, to brotherhood of man; and I hope that this change in ourf-so-called Christian civilization will not be brought about ajver night, suddenly, like a cyclone, but by a steady gain in the Socialist vote, and the changing of our 8 1 Alexander Irvine was born in Ire' He is a born fighter. His first ytfars of life were spent among the poor, the very poor where the day when one receives a square meal is considered a red letter day. He re-ceived bs first square meal when he heW broughtssi-t was fifteeen years old. Then he went to the coal mines of Scotland and left there to get an edneation.

He joined the English army, at least he thought he did, but when they came to put on a uniform, he discovered that he belonged to the navy. The speaker aim in life is the uplifting of the poor, his sympathies are with the under-dog, and, given the choice between saving the soul and bringing the down-trodden up to a higher standard in life, he would rather do the latter MEETINGS TONIGHT.

Junior Mechanics Hall, Main and Passaic Avenuea, Schultz Cant Explain Conduct and la Held Used Clay Pipe as Weapon There were three peculiar assault cases in the Police Court this morning. John Schultz, of 10 Jackson Street, was up for striking Wendel Schweig-hardt, of Schley Street, Garfield, with a brick. Schultz ran amuck in the Fourth Ward about 9 oclock last night and struck several persons in the head. He seized a brick while approaching Schweighardt and struck him a severe blow from the rear. The victim 'was stunned but Schultze ran without watting to inquire his condition.

Neither man had ever seen the other before. Schultze was held in $500 bail for the Grand Jury and went to jail. He said he did not know what caused him to commit the assault. Edward Garrabrant, of Little Falls, entered the Passaic City Hotel last night and gruffly asked Frederick Geiger, of 345 Passaic Street, for money. Geiger gruffly replied that he did not believe in helping "panhandlers." Instantly Garrabrant took his clay pipe by the stem and struck Geiger in the eye with the bowl.

Garrabrant has but one. arm. otherwise Geiger would have retaliated. The Little Falls man was arrested and today sent to jail fyi default of $200 bail. Geigers eye has blackened and swollen considerably.

Because she refused to bring a seventh pail of beer, Joseph Gulgoskl terribly beat liis wife in their home, 16 Second Street, last night. This morning he was held for the Grand Jury in $150 bail.

The county committee will alio select the men who are to have charge of the primaries. CHURCH REPORTS SHOW INCREASED RECEIPTS Annua! Meeting of the First Presbyterian Congregation Held at Church Last Night Aliout fifty persons attended the annual meeting of the First Presbyterian Church last night.

Dixon was re-elected secretary and trnsurcror one year.

The increase in receipts was largely attributable to the extension of the envelope system of weekly offering. Set Fire to Furniture.

The fire was in a room at the rear of the candy store kept by Gaston. Gastons daughter a lamp she was carrying, and several pieces of furniture were destroyed.

ji The first speaker before the fom-ttittce at the hearing at oclock was Victor L. Maon, president of the Passaic Board of Trade, 'ii) referred to the fact that, the election had been before the Legislature for five years and more refcent-b had been carefully investigated.

Sullivan asserted, that a private company should control this commodity. 1 Hillery in Opposition. President Hillery, of Morris County. spoke briefly in opposition to the bill. He declared that his county was fighting it and fighting it hard.

He realized that Faterson, Passaic and other cities were vitally interested, but he had much fault to find with the measure. He said that his experience with reservoirs was that it was necessary to keep them full of water. If that was true and the reservoir was full when the flood came, the plan propose would not prevent destruction of property. If, on the other hand, the reservoir were no full, then he said it would be or little use Will Discos Road Work in County Scat at Meeting Next Monday A conference between the Board of Freeholders and the Paterson Board of Works will be held at 2 oclock next Monday afternoon at the rooms ot the Board of Freeholders in the County Court House at Paterson. The Pater-eon board is desirous of learning just what amount oi money will be spent by the Freeholder cm the county roads in Paterson this year.

At a meeting of the road committee of the Freeholders yesterday aitemoon a letter from City Clerk Standeven, asking for a conference with the Board of Works was read. It was at Freeholder MacDonalds suggestion that Monday was fixed as the date of the meeting between the two bodies. 1 For nearly three hour yesterday the Freeholdcrdiscussed the plans for repairing and extending roads in the county. Freholders Dow H. Drukker and John K.

Kehoe, of this city, to whom the district including Passaic and Acquackanonk Township is assigned, had a long verbal report to submit about roads in their territory which need attention, and Clerk Botbyl jotted down the name oi the roads, in order to compile a tentative list of those on which money will be spent this year. Freeholder McDonald thought the board should not be sq. lavish in its selection of roads to be repaired when it did not intend to repair them within any definite time. He believed the worst roads should be picked out, advertised, and done, and that lists should not be padded with thoroughfare which could not be attended to. It was practically decided yesterday that the section of the River Road lying between Market Street, Paterson, and Crooks Avenue would be rebuilt during the approaching All members of the committee favored this project It is proposed to rebuild the remainder of the road, between Crooks Avenue and Lexington Passaic, next year.

The Freeholders will ask the trolley company to co-operate ith them, the board' desire being to have the tracks of the qerfbpany raised to the proper grade. The bad spots on the River Road between this city and Crooks Avenue will be repaired for this season by the county road gang, under the direction of. Road Inspector Bustard. It Is proposed to have Highland and Paxaic Aveffues, in this city, repaired by the countyS gang. Van Honten Avenue, from he Lackawanna Railroad to the River Road, will probably be top dressed, this work to be done by contract.

Ktngsland Lane, Acquackanonk Township, will probably be in the list of roads to be repaired under the county road supervisors direction. Main Avenue, this city, from the Franklin crossing to the county bridge will also be fixed up by the countys workmen. It is also proposed to repair the bad spot on the Bloomfield Road, Acquackanonk Township, from the Lackawanna Railroad crossing to the Essex County line. Another thoroughfare which Freeholders Drukker and Kehoe have in their list is the Notch Road. They want it repaired from the Essex County line to Piaget's hotel.

Clifton Avenue, from Kesses place to the canal bridge, will be improved if the ideas of the two Passaic Freeholders are followed out. The Freeholders as yet have made no inspection of the Paterson toads. They discussed various improvement to be made, but no detailed report was made on them.

This is the utilities bill that does away with the rate-making power.

The motion was carried, but Mr. Martin offeree as a substitute to th bill the public utilities measure that had been previously passed by th House and that had been turned down by the Senate. 1 Speaker Jess, while Mr. Thompson was in the chair, made a strong plea for the passage of the Senate bul and declared that all the members who wanted to keep their pledges to the people should vote -for the bill.

Republican Senators conferred on the Governors excise bills this morning and decided not to let them out of committee, but to adopt a resolution calling for a joint committee of Senators and Assemblymen to study the Governor's bills and the entire excise problem and re'port with recommendations to the next Legislature. Fort Want Financiel Legislation.

Governor Fort sent a message to the Senate today, urging legislation to meet the embarrassing financial condition of the state freasury. He asks the passage of the Avis bill which permits the State to reserve from the railroad taxes three quarters of. one per cent instead of one half of one per thus cutting down the apportionment to the schools from railroad taxes and giving additional money to the State treas- ury. URGES CONGRESS TO SUPPRESS ANARCHY By Telegraph to The New. Washington, April 9Stringent legislation looking to the suppression of anarchy, particularly in the matter of the dissemination of anarchist literature, is recommended in a special message sent to Congress today by President Roosevelt tended.

He objected to the Jersey City reservoir in his neighborhood because, be said, the people were not Allowed near it and they could get no pleasure from We are all just selfish enough, Senator Hillery said, to endeavor to get particular benefits for our own municipalities. Morris County has a en-tintent in this matter. Her people ancestors lived there in Washington time. The ground possesses historic associations. The cemeteries thereabouts would be interfered with and destroyed.

Therefore, from a sentimental standpoint, the Jbill is opposed. But the main opposition is that the land is too valuable to take for the purposes intended. Senator Hillery deejared he was opposed to municipal ownership. If the State went into this business, he de-cated, the State would become liable for the bonds. He said he was surprised that the State had recently lent it aid to the inland waterways project from Cape May to Bay Head a prop-, o-ition that would benefit only South Jersey and in which North Jersey had no interest, lie was opposed to the State interfering in such matters.

Paterson la Represented. City Counsel Merrey, of Paterson, was allowed five minutes. He spoke warmly in favor of the bill, declaring that as Mr. Hillery had admitted that lie was the champion of such a measure as this last year, when he was the minority leader in the House, he certainly could pot be so inconsistent as to change Ms position this year. The speaker declared that Mr.

Hillery represented very few people and said that it was a question of benefiting the many at the expetvc, probably, of a few, even from Mr. Hillery' statements. This plan, Mr. Merrey said, was the only plan that would work satisfactorily according to eminent engineers. The potable water supply was limited.
