CHANGES In
CONSTITUTION
One Judge to Conduct Court
and Two Courts at the
Same Time
ALSO MAKE LEGISLATIVE
JOURNAL RECORD FINAL

Secretary Of State Charles S. Rich.
ards is advertising the proposed
amendments to the constitution that
are to be acted on by the Legislature
of 1918 that convenes in January next
The bills providing the amendments
were passed by the last Legislature
and will have to be passed by the
next Legislature and signed by the
Governor before the amendments
shall become effective.
One proposed amendment provides
that one of the State Judges shall
be quorum to conduct court ex-
cept in certain contingencies and
also for two sessions of the court
at the same time in any county. 1t
reads:
"One shall constitute a quorum in
the said Courts. respectively except in
the Court of oyer and Terminer,
where three shall constitute a quorum
and except in the Superior Court sit
ting to hear appeals from the Orphans
Court or a Registers Court when two
shall constitute a quorum, and except
in the Court of General Sessions, sit
ting TO try cases OF prosecution under
Section of Article V of this constitu-
tion. or sitting to hear contested ap-
plications for license to sell intoxicat-
ing liquors, when two shall constitute
a quorum.
"One judge shall open and adjourn
any of said courts.
Section 6. Subject to the provi-
sions Of Section 5 of this article, two
or more sessions Of the Superior Court
or Court of General Sessions, or one
or more sessions of each Of the said
courts. or one session of the Court of
Oyer and Terminer and one or two of
either, or one of each of the other of
the said courts may at the same time
be held in the same county or in diff
ferent counties. and the business in
the several counties may be distribut-
ed and apportoned in such manner as
shall be provided by the said courts

Another amendment proposed pro-
vides that The General Assembly

members elected 10 each House. pass
{ laws relating to the laying out. open
ing, alteration or maintenance of ans
road or highway which forms a con-
tinuous road or highway extending
through at least a portion of the three
counties of the State"
Another proposed amendment is tc
provide that the ave and nay record oi
the final vote in the journals of the
Legislature shall determine whether
or not a bill has passed the Legisla
ture. This would establish what il
known as the Journal entry" doc
trine. and remove the doubt that nov
exists over the journal entry" an,

the state judges have divided in some
recent cases.

MARRIAGE LAW UNREPEALED.

ROME, July 29.-The report that
the Pope has repealed the decree me
temere" is absolutely unfounded, nor
is it likely ever 10 be revoked, as IL
embodies provisions which have gov
erned the Church procedure for two
centuries. It is probable that the
Misunderstanding with respect to the
suspension of 4 provision relating to
mixed marriages in Germany and
Hungary
The other provisions of the me
temere," however, are in full force in
those two countries. while in the
United States and England all pro-
visions of the decree without excep-
ton are still in force. Thus a mar
riage between Cathol.c and Protestant
without the sanction Or the parish
priest is null and the antenuptial
promises relative to the education Of
the children Of such marriages as
Catholics must still be made.
II is declared that possibly the
United states and England may later
obtain some change in the provisions.

''GET AWAY"
FUND TO HELP
The SLAYERS

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, July 29.-When Cor
oner Feinberg, sitting as a magistrate
resumed his inquiry today into the
murder OF Herman Rosenthal, il was
expected rshat he would require the
police TO uncover Just enough evidence
against the men accused TO warrant
holding them without bail until the
inquest set for August 15.. The cases
against against Harry Vallon, Jack
Rose, Frank Cirofci, better known as
ago Frank, Louis Libby and William
Shapiro we're scheduled 20 be heard
first, while Sam Paul and Jack Sulli-
van were to be given individual hear
ings. Their attorneys declared that
they would apply for habeas corpus
writs if proof against their clients was
not forthcoming.
Meanwhile the police we're investi-
eating a report that get away fund"
running into thousandswas being
raised to permit the actual murder
ers Of oRsenthal to leave the coun-
try. These men, it was reported by
private detectives who have been at
work on the case lost the money they
received for the actual killing, by
gambling at Far Rockaway, where
they went as soon as the murder was
committed. They are believed by the
detectives to be in hiding in this city
at present waiting for those interested
in getting them away to raise the
money for that purpose.
