BA|ROS TERM Of

At MIDNIGHT
Governor Fort Silent as to What
He Intends to Do

BELIEVED CAMDEN MAN
WILL BE TURNED DOWN
Extra Session of Senate Not at
All Likely, Politicians
Say.

TRENTON. Mav 4.-With David
Baird's term of office as State assessor
expiring at midnight there Is intense
interest about State House corridors
today concerning what either Governor
Fort or Baird himself ma do.
Senator William J. Bradley, of Cam
den. had an earnest talk with the Gov
ernor this morning, put declined to say
anything about the subject discussed
when ne came out of the executive
chamber. A few minutes later he was
in conference with County Clerk Frank
J. Paterson, Baird's right-hand man In
politics in Camden, and State Comp
troller West, also a close political
friend of Baird in Camden.
Fort IL silent.
Up to the lunch hour Governor Fort
gave no intimation of what he purposed
doing in reference to the appointment
of a successor to Baird. II Is the gen
eral opinion, however, hat he has
firmly decided to make Baird's turn
down permanent, SO far as the State as
sessorship is concerned.
Assessor Baird is in the State House
today attending to his duties as fre-
man of the United States grand Try.
He did not go neal the executive. of.
fees. 40 ,ess
No Extra Session Likely.
1t Is practically certain that the Gov
ernor will not call the Senate together
in extra session to receive nominations
not made during the regular session
of the Legislature. Every Republican
Senator whom the Governor has con-
suited about an extra session is OPP
posed to the idea.
County Clerk Paterson told the STAR
correspondent today that he had been
told by eminent legal authority that
Governor Fort does not possess the
right to make an ad interim appoint
ment of a successor TO Baird as State
which is contrary to the Gov
errors view of the matter. Mr.. Pat
erson explained. however, that in case
the Governor did name someone other
than Baird as State assessor under the
claim of ad interim authority. the lat
ter would not contest the right of the
new appointee to succeed him..

terest OF Very Commendable
Measure.

Judge Rohnert Will spend couple
OF days In Lansing this week. working
In the interest of mis- bill for the es-
tablishment OF juvenile court for
the city OF Detroit. Judge Rohnert's
bill provides for the establishment OF
a juvenile court TO act independently
of the probate court, and not bound
by the general act now governing ju.
venile court matters.
Judge Rohnert has taken great
deal of interest In the work among
the young, and 1t Is the opinion OF
those who have watched 1t that he
has accomplished much good Since
the work has grown to the proportions
II has attained recently, II is difficult
to see how the city could get along
without such an institution
Heretofore the work has been car.
ried on as part OF the probate court.
and Judge Rohnert was really acting
under Judge Durfee. The probate
court has so much business that II
was found necessary recently TO Gre
