J., Feb. 11.—With the consent of Senators Robert S, Hudspeth, of Hudson, and Edmund W. Wakelee, of Bergen, the hearing be- fore the Senate Committee on Railroads and Canals on the three men in ® cab bills has been set down for the afternoon of Feb. 18 at 2 o'clock. This agreement was reached yesterday afternoon when the Bergen Senator made a demand for a hearing on the bills introduced by him. Mr. Wakelee asked that the hearing be fixed for next Tuesday afternoon, but Senator William J, Bradley, of Camden, the chairman of the committee, stated that he wanted to have the hearing on all three of the bills at the same time as the bills were intended to accomplish the same purpose. SENATOR HUDSPETH READY FOR FIGHT, “That will give us all the more time to get our forces in shape for the] fight,” said Senator Hudspeth, “for fight there will De, I am told that the bills cannot be passed in thelr present shape, and I believe that to be true. ‘The railroad people say that their opposition is to the proposition to put an experienced freman in the cab with the regular engineer and fireman. That would be an extra expense as the second fireman would have to get the same wages as the other. ‘This the railroad people say can be obviated by changing the phraseology of the bill eo that it will require that a man to be called a pilot be put in a cab, a man who shall know the general rules of the roads as to signals and such metters, and who shall have a sufficient kmowledge of the working of an engine to stop and start her in case of necessity. knew a thing or two about the political game in bringing about the defeat of the leader. Early in the voting etage Cronin re- fused to allow any but his well-known followers to vote at hia club house, When Mulrony discovered this plot he immediately sent word throughout the district that the voting would take place at the Golden Club in Forty-elghth street east of Becond avenue. Thither his loyal followers went in solid phatanx, and 00% voles were cast. Of these Mulrony received 600. In the mean time Cronin had marshalled his forces at the Cronin headquarters, No. %l East Forty-eighth street, known as the Jabn T. Cronin Club. where the Vote at midnight showed that Cronin had recetved 10) votes to 10 for Mul- rony Cronin thereupon declared himself the winner, not having bees Informed of what had already taken place in the “Then I learn that the language of the bille {6 a bit confusing In that| Cie em, nus opponent in the Golden the various technical terms applied to the engines, such as mogul, camel] in high feather when the news reaehan| Daok, hog back and the like, tend to confuse the meaning of the bill and) ‘them of the success of Mulrony.

The Camden man hed come in response to a statement that the Republi- ans meant to make the three-men-bills party measures, and to put them through regardless of how much the feelings of the railroad people might be hurt thereby. Mr. Rumrille interviewed Chairman Bradley, of the Senate Committee on Rallroads and Canals, and Assemblyman Montgomery, chalr- man of the vame committee in the House. He didn’t look at all pleased at the result of the interviews. ‘The lobbyists realize that the bills have gotten away from them, and that they are as powerless to stay the progress of the measures as though they were hitched to one of the big hog-back engines. Former Sheriff ‘David Baird, of Camden, joined Rumrille in the corridor aud had a long “talk with him about the bills, but there was no such thing as learning what the pair determined on doing. It was stated in the Senate chamber yes- ter@ay that the best legal talent obtainable will be on hand at the hearing Aeil the committees why the bills should not be reported favorably. _ Gov, Franklin Murphy was asked yesterday by the correspondent of The World for his opinion of the bills introduced by Hudspeth and lger, perhaps I was @ star card buyer’ of political ‘gold bricks. tp Pt y Rd but one? see, 1 that reepeot. id buy @ pc cm. id bri toate ap cratin it oe rick when I Cronin. ares the will yet seated.
