JURY COMMISSION BILL

Special to 1.-THE Jersey City News.'D
TRENTON, Mar. s, 1906.-At the re-
quest of the Hudson County Bar Asso-
citation. Senator Minturn yesterday in
troduced Jury Commission bill which
provides for the appointment of three
commissioners in each county by the SUI
preme Court Justice sitting on the cir
cult, whose duty it shall be to select all
grand and petit jurors. The bill was
prepared by the Hudson County Bar As
sociation and is to be acceptable to the
lawyers as a remedy for the evils exist
ing under the present jury system which
have been harshly criticized by them.
4 The Wakelee bin for the substitution
of electrocution for hanging in capital
cases was passed on second reading by
the Senate yesterday after Senator
Hutchinson succeeded in having it
amended so that the executions should
take place in some remote and isolated
place, where building for the purpose
should be erected at cost not to ex-
Feed $4,000. instead of at the State
Prison, as the original bill provided.
There was strong opposition to the
executions taking place within the State
Prison because the Trenton people feared
their city would become known as
"Hangtown." Il was also charged that
executions of condemned criminals in the
prison would have a disastrous effect
upon the ether convicts.
Senator lMinturn rallied to the support
Of the Mercer Senator with sentimental
plea against degrading the historic name
Of Trenton, which was SO closely asso-
ciated with the destinies of our nation,
by attaching thereto the designation Of
'sHangtown." In graphic manner he de-
pcted the battle of Trenton as the turn.
ing point in the American Revolution and
said that he for one would never vote to
add the appellation of "Hangtown" tc
the city.
The hutchinson amendement providing
for the selection of an isolated place fol
the executions was adopted by a vote Of
8 to 6. The other amendments to sub
stitute the Shelf of the county in which
the condemned criminal was convicted
to act as executioner instead Of the Prin
cipal Keeper Of the State Prison was de
feated.
It now seems almost certain that the
electrocution bill as amended viii pass
the Senate next week without materia'
opposition.

that Jersey City is in this respect clean

keepers licensed there are bound to be a
few, especially if they have a political
pull, who conduct suspicious if not
shady business. The proposal to order
all booths taken out of saloons is not
considered to be legal. but the police
have insisted that at least the doors of
the booths be taken down.

She Procured It From a
Baby Farm In Prosecution
Of Designs Upon the Man
Whose Name She Adopted
he DENIED he is MARRIED
CERTIFICATE SHOWN BY HER
BELONGED TO HER SISTER,
WHOSE NAME SHE HAD ERAs-
ED-woMAN is SAID TO HAVE
CONFESSED

The local police have unravelled a sto-
ry in which woman got baby from
a baby farm in New York to palm off
on an admirer in order to gain his af7
fections and persuade him to marry her.
On February 10 last woman who
said she was Mrs. Jessie Plant, went to
the day nursery, No. 166 Grand street,
with an infant and asked Mrs. Alma
Anderson to care for it. She said her
husband was in the City Hospital and
that she was dependent upon her par
ents. She said she would call for it in d
few days. When she failed to return in
Eve days the matter was reported to the
police. Detective Sergeant Van Horn
was assigned to the case He found that
She vas living in Laidlaw avenue. She
was arrested on a charge of desertion
and in Court she said her husband had
deserted her. She was committed to the
County Jail for thirty days. The child
is still in the day nursery. Detective
Van Horn looked up Plant and found
him. He is holding a good position as
a clerk He denied that he had ever
been married or that the child was his.
The detective learned that the woman
had secured the child through the stand
ing advertisement of baby farm in a
New York newspaper. and through the
GeGrry Society, that the baby had been
adopted by the woman in question from
a baby farm run by one Louise Wagner
IN searching the effects of Mrs.
Plant the police found marriage GER
tifcate which apparently was that of
one issued for the marriage of Jessie
Wrightnour to Mr.. Plant, but on closer
examination it was. found that the GER
tifieate was. really that of the alleged
Mrs. Plants sister, Eliza. who was mar
riea to Patrick Powell by the Rev. Wal
ter Smofield, former pastor of the Sum
NIT Avenue Baptist Church, now pastor
of Baptist Church at No 129 East
One Hundred and Eleventh street, New
York. That marriage was performed in
1904. The names had been erased and
that of Jessie Wrightnour and Mr.. Plant
substituted. The woman has confessed
to the charges of the police. She is still
in the county joil. No charge Of forgery
has been preferred.

ANTI COLBY BILL ADVANCED

TRENTON, March s, 1905. 6.-The Ju-
dietary Committee of the Senate yester-
day favofably reported Senator Colby's ;
anti-lobby bill with some amendments.
Il WAS then placed on second reading
and adopted as amended. It will proba-
bly, be passed by the Senate next Mon
day evening.
The anti-lobby bin provides that all
legislative. agents Of corporations shall
be registered and excludes all non-regis-
tered lobbyists from the capitol. Its other
provisions are drafted along the lines ex-
pressed in the lobby commissions report
recently sent to the Legislature by Gov
ernor Stokes. Senator Colby and former
Assemblyman A. s. Alexander, of Hobo
ken. signed the majority report while
Speaker s. K. Robbins presented a mi-
norify report which agreed with many Of
the recommendations made by the major
ity but opposed others.
1t is said chat Governor Stokes favors
the Colby bill and the leaders have agreed
to pass it.

TRENTON, March s, 190G.-In a con-
current resolution adopted by the House
yesterday without dissent, it was prac-
tically agreed that the Legislature should
adjour sine die on Thursday, March %.
Mr.. Marin, the Colby leader, made an
Intellectual attempt later to have the vote
by which the resolution was adopted re-
considered, but his motion was laid on
the table so that he might bring the mat
ter up again at any time in the future
Mr. Martins plan to reconsider in
wolves a novelty in legislation in this
State. Back of it he has in mind the
plan of having the Legislature, if it adj
journs on March 30, do so for limited
period of about month. During that
period the Governor, he thinks, will be
able to look over the bills that may be
passed and ascertain whether any of the
measures are unconstitutional or legally
or practically defective.
AS there exists the strong possibility
of such a contingency during the hurry
of the last few days of the session, it is
considered at least not improbable that
Mr.. Martins proposition will be favor
ably considered by the Governor and
party leaders. In previous years num-
bers of bills have been vetoed by the
Governor on account Of minor technical
defects. By adjourning for a limited
period before sine die adjournment such
bills as are defective can be corrected if
mistakes are discovered.
1t is understood to be the decision of
the leaders of both Houses to get down
to solid business in regard to the passage
Of bills and from the present time on to
do all they can to- expedite business and
to prevent flibustering There may be
spirited fights between the Colbyites and
administration forces over some bills. but
even if there are they will be short dur
ing the next three weeks.

CoLBYS ELECTION BILLS
Special to "The Jersey City News. .

Special to s.The Jersey City News")
TRENTON, Mar. s, 1906. Senator
Colby yesterday introduced two bills,
which. if they be assed will radically
amend the election laws. One provides
that the members of every county. city
or other municipal committee of each POI
litical party shall be hereafter elected
at the primary elections, and for the se-
lection of party candidates 1t further
provides that the chairman of each COM
mittee shall file thirty days before the
primary election day with the clerk OF
the proper municipality, a statement Of
the number of members of said commit
tee to be elected.
The second bill amends section 16 of
the election law and provides that ssif a
ma iofity Of the delegates elected to any
convention shall have had printed oppo-
site to their names upon the official bal
lot the name OF any person as fhelF
choice. that person shall be the candidate
of his party for said office ait the ensu-
ing election.
1t further provides that if the conven-
ton does not nominate the person SO
named. he may go before judge Of the
Circuit Court, who, upon affidavit, shall
4l Sc
place such persons name upon the Of
fetal ballot.
Both bills were referred to the Com
mittee on Elections, and their chances
of ever seeing daylight again are ex-
tremely remote. The purpose Of both
bills are good. it is said. but they are
aimed TO destroy the power Of political
bosses, ana the latte will never con
sent to their adoption.

"There are at least 200 dives that

will not be licensed again." President
Decker. Of the Excise Board, made this
startling announcement in a speech at
the Liquor Dealers banquet few weeks
ago. OF course President Decker was
in position to know. Now that the
clergymen are after the Excise Board
and want these dives closed, not next
July, but right away, President Decker
is sorry he spoke His statement was an
Indictment of his Board and showed that
it was not doing its duty. The Commits
sioners are shifting the responsibility.

blame and last night President Decker
told Messrs Connerty and Mclaughlin
that they would have to get "a gait OF" !"
So long as the clergymen were silent and
there was no general complaint against
the dives, the Excise Board was willing
that they should violate the law as much
as they pleased.

So is Graham. During the last campaign
Graham, so he says, heard Allan tell
some one that Fagan could not be elect
ed. This, according to Graham, is rank
treason, not against the Republican
party, but the so-called reform element
of it. If Allen had not been made Sealer
Of Weights and Measures in opposition
to the Mayors wishes, his ante-election
declaration would never have been
thought of. The Faganites cannot get
Allen out Of his job, but they can bounce
him from the Bergen Republican Club
and this is the way they are going to get
even with him.. Allen probably cares as
much for his membership in the club as
he does for the Mayor.
