GOVERNOR VETOES
JUDICIARY BILL
Measure Would Have Created a
Court District in Passaic
County.
IFrom n stan Correspondence

TRENTON. N. J., March 25.-Gov-
ernor Fielder yesterday vetoed SEN
ate 131, creating a First Judicial
District in Passaic County. Prior to
the veto he gave a hearing to par i.
ties interested in the bill, which has
passed both branches of the Leg
islature.
Senator McGinnis. the introducer
told the Governor that $4,000 people
of Passaio County wanted the court
established principally to take the
jurisdiction from the Justices of
the peace. He complained of the
lack of knowledge of the law dis
played by these justices and said that
an appeal Is invariably taken by
lawyers from their judgments.
Senator McGinnis said the two dis
triot courts in the county at the pres
emit time. located in Paterson and
Passaio, are overcrowded with busl-
ness and that the establishment of
the new judicial district court is war
ranted by the volume of business
which is held up from day to day for
want of time because cases cannot
come before the judges in Paterson
and Passaio.
Mr.. Freeman, representing the Pas.
sale Bar Association, opposed He
claimed to be backed by the bar of
Passaic County. The Governor was
also presented with resolutions pass
ed by the Taxpayers Association OF
Passaie County and the finance com.
mittee of the Board of Freeholders.

CONFERENCES
Democrats Discuss Civil SerV-

Jury Bill Changes.
IFrom a stan correspondent.l

STATE HOUSE, TRENTON, N. j.,
March 25.--The Democratic and Re-
publican senator's held conferences to-
day. The Democrats considered civil
service and the Republicans jury
Changes.
The Democrats decided not to dis
turb civil service as a general prin-
ciple, but favored legislation that
would take out of civil service a
number of positions of heads and
sub-heads of departments and secre-
taries who are now protected by civil
service, largely through individual
bills passed by the Legislature since
the civil service law was adopted.
Prominent among positions that the
Democrats think ought not to be in
civil service is the custodianship of
the State House, held by John Wese7
man, of Essex county. Mr.. Weseman
claims to be protected by civil serv-
Ice
Last night Senator Davis intro
duced a bill to put in the unclassi-
ned service the secretary to every
State, county and municipal board or
commission. The Democrats also de-
oided to stand by the Davis jury COM
mission bill without a referendum
and to ask for a conference with the
House on the subject.
The Republicans in their confer
ence decided to stand by the Reed
