JURORS MUST
ATTEND COURT
Judge Beekman Gives Orders
--South River Case Today.

That Judge John w Beekman, OF
the district court, means to have
jury summons respected, may be in
ferred from the orders he issued to
Constable John G. Brown this norm
ing when 1t was found that a num-
Der of jurors. who had been notified,
we're not present. The court order
ed that these delinquents be brought
before him at the next session Of the
court, Monday morning, when meas
ures would be taken to compel them
to respect the courts jurisdiction in
the future. Judge Beekman stated
that any citizen was liable to jury
duty and should answer to the call
when 1t was made.
South River Case On.
Judge Beekman and a jury are
trying for the second time today the
case of Anna Baronofski against
Louis Greenfield, both Of South
River. Mrs. Baronofski asks dam
ages for alleged injuries received in
Greenfield's store when while max
Ing purchases he got into an argu-
ment with her and 1t is said struck
her with a bale OF cloth, inficting
dangerous injuries.
Representing Mrs. Baronofski
Thomas Brown secured a verdict OF
damages for her in the local district
court several months ago. Judge
Cowenhoven, who represented
Greenfield, appeared before Judge
Beekman later and asked for a new
trial on several technical points.
This was granted.
A greater part of this morning
was spent in drawing the jury.
Judge Cowenhoven made frequent
challenges and exhausted the panel.
Finally the jury was selected with
the exception of three men. Con-
stable Brown was sent out to locate
three citizens who could serve.
When these were secured the trial
proceeded. The case will probably
most of the day.
The Jury selected In the ease was
as follows: Joseph Fiigen. William
Bergreen, Albert Weinager, George
John McMurray, B. N.
John Brown, Frank APP
plegate, Henry loft, Samuel J.. Vail.
Joseph Woglom and Chris Gassman.
Judge Beekman gave Judgment in
the case of Frank Henry, ct al,
against Robert Carlton for posses
sion.

LOCAL OPTION HEARING
BE HELD MONDAY NIGHT

Trenton, March 23:-As the program
now stands in the legislature, the Geb-
hardt local option bill viii be made q
special order for next Monday night.
Senator Gebhardt brought up the mat
ter yesterday asking that the bill be
act down for action at the first session
next week. Senator Leavitt, of Mer-
Ger, moved to amend by fixing next
Wednesday at 1890 a. m. as the time
Tor its final consideration. Mr.. Geh-
hardt objected, and then the Mercer
Eenator took a fling at the Anti-saloon
LeagLe. which, he said, had been re-
eponsihla for delayed action on the
blu this year. Mi. Leavitt said the
bill had besn reported promptly, but
the Anti-Saloon League apparently
seeks to defer action ON it until the
galleries are crowded, Mr.. Frelinghuy.
sen urged his fellow senators to per-
Nit the request of Mr.. Gebhardt to
be aeeeded to, and opposition was then
withdrawn.

BURY SESSION
LEGISLATURE
Many Bills Of minor import
ance Cleaned Up.

Trenton, March 23:-Seventy-six
separate and distinct bills were
passed by the Senate and House of
Assembly yesterday, thirty-nine by
the Senate and thirty-seven by the
House.
This record Is almost equal to the
usual rush" record of the last
days of the sessions of preceding
years.
Among the seventy-six there was
not II of prime Importance. 1t
was q day devoted to Cleaning up"
and senators and assemblymen
worked like Trojans.
The senate held three long grinds
morning, afternoon and evening.
The House worked industriously In
the morning and afternoon, and re-
solved to fill out the day with an
evening of hard work, but about
half the assemblymen Jumped the
job" and the evening session had
not, proceeded far until 1t was dis
covered that there was no quorum
present and adjournment perforce
followed,
Both houses adjourned until next
Monday evening.
The industry with which the
legislature worked yesterday raised
the question of the date of final ad-
1ournment. Speaker Kenny hazard
ed the guess that the legislature
would be ready to adjourn about the
middle of April. Senator Leavitt
was OF the opinion that it would be
q week or two later than that. Ger
tain 1t is that none of the big
measures that are pending has yet
been disposed of, and 1t Is dificult to
see how the legislature can possibly
get away before late In April. 1t
win be ms of the longest sessions on
record.

|GERAN BILL
SEEMS SAFE
Believed the Senate Will
Pass II Next Week.
Especial Correspondenee.l

A~H90AAA
Trenton, March 23:-It was general
ly conceded about the State House
last night when the legislature adjourn
mary and election bill win be put
through the senate within q week OF
ten days. 1t will become a law i'm.
mediateIy upon approval by Governor
Wilson, and the machinery for its op-
Grafton will soon thereafter be started
by the Civil Service Commission ar
ranging for examinations of 5000 cleo
tion officers.
Senator Osborne, Democratic leader
in the Senate said last night:
"The Geran bin will. be passed by
the Senate in substantially the same
form as adopted by the Assembly.
Eleven votes viii be required to pass
1t in the Senate, but I will not be sur
prised TO see the vote unanimous on
it. Of course, it will have to have
least two republicans acting with
the nine democrats to get the required
majority, and this is assured now. In
my opinion it will be luicidal for the
senators to Impose the bill
and in the final analysis / believe that
they will recognize this as a fact and
will be united with the Democrats III
for it,"
A meeting Of the Senate Elections
of which Mr.. Bradley, of
Camden, is chairman, has been called
for next Saturday afternoon. At this
time the Geran bin will be considered
by the committee. The fact that a
meeting is scheduled to be
held for the purpose of considering the
bill on a day when the legislature is
not in session, is indicative Of the
great Importance of the measure. There
viii be some slight changes in the way
of correcting grammatical and typo
graphical errors to make the bill per-
feet.
At Il meeting Of the Elections Com
mittee Saturday afternoon there will
also be consideration of a corrupt prac-
tees act in the way Of a companion
measure to the Geran bill. The Simp-
bill on this subject, which is known
as an administration" measure, has
already passed the house and is now
in the hands of the senate committee.
The Simpson bill win be changed some
what by the committee and then passed
by the senate. This will necessitate its
being returned to the Assembly.

MAYOR AND
POLICE CHIEF AT ODDS

Plainfleld, March 23:-There evil
IDENTIFY being some misunderstanding
about officially communicating the
fact to Chief of Police Kelly that the
Police Board had adopted a resolu-
ton authorizing him to release pris-
oners for violations of the city ordi-
nanees on telephone order of the
Mayor or City Judge De Meza, the
former has clearly impressed the fact
on the mind of the chief.
Mayor Moy has informed Chief
Kelly that willis 1t ia not the pur-
pose Of the Police Board to humiliate
him or hinder him In the discharge
of his duties n resolution passed
by the Police Board must be consid-
cred law and he will be expected to
obey it's provisions.
1t was learned today that Chief
Kelly had sought from w. A. Cod
dington, attorney. OF this city. an
opinion on the subject at the direc-
ton of Councilman Burton, of the
board. This the mayor has taken to
be an insult, hence his instructions
to Chief Kelly.

DRINKING CUP
BILL PASSED
Other Measures Cause Some
Debate in Legislature.
fspectal CORRESPONDENCE.


Trenton. March 23:-Assembly-
man James bill, which abolishes the
office OF state auditor and the de-
partment of accounts, caused q fiery
debate In the House yesterday. The
measure was passed by a vote of So
to IS. Mr.. James asserted that the
state auditor and staff now cost the
state the sum of $4,000 and said
the office was a sinecure, being q
worthless department. The amount
now expended for it, he declared,
could be saved, as the Comptroller
examines all bills before they are
paid, whereas, the auditor gives his
O. K a year after, in some instances,
after the accounts have been closed.
An effort was made by MI. Martin
to have the bill laid over temporar-
lily but Mr.. James said this had al
ready been done once and he OBJ
1ected to further delay. Mr.. Martin
then came forth with the declaration
that a Republican was to be legis-
lated out OF Office to provide more
clerkships for Democrats, at least
that was what he had heard. Mr..
Donnelly retorted that mere rumors
should not be brought on the floor
unless substantiated. He said the
deArtment should be abolished. Mr..
Simonson and Mr.. Matthews spoke
for the passage OF the bill, but Mr..
Brodhead asked that time be given
to investigate the question further.
Mr.. Martin said the extra clerkships
were to go to the Comptroller and
that as a Democrat he would vote
against the measure.
The bill by Mr.. Ramsay to abolish
the common drinking cup in public
places and giving the Board of
Health power to make such rules,
vas passed.
Senator Bradiey's joint resolution,
providing for the removal OF the re-
mains of General Phil Kearny to the
National Cemetery at Arlington, was
passed as was the Senate bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the prevention Of
the Introduction and spread of plant
diseases. Senator Gaunt's bill, appro-
priating $4,000 for a department of
poultry husbandry at the State Ag-
rtcnltural Experiment Station re-
ceived a majority of votes and the
bill by Mr.. Donnelly. enabling com-
mon council to appoint a board to IL
CHust idlipudFy CuSlhSSls, was aiSo
favorably considered.
Mr.. Layden introduced a bill to
enable playground commissions to
purchase ground with the approval
OF governing board of city and
charge admission for benefit events.
Mr.. Jackson has a bill to exempt
hospitals from assessments. Mr..
Matthews introduced a joint resolu-
tfon providing for the ratification OF
m amendment to the Federal Con-
giving power to Congress to
enaet an income tax.
