SYSTEM
OF AMENDMENT
Constitutional Convention
Bill is in Doubt.
tFrom the NEWS Correspondent

NFFOW the NEWS Correspondent
Trenton, March 24.-If 1t be found
this week that enough votes cannot
be obtained in the Senate to pass the
Hennessy constitutional convention
bill, and the general belief now ia
that the Senate will defeat the meas
ure in its present form, 1t is likely
that an effort will be made to pass a
law for constitutional changes such
as was pr posed last year by William
G. Gebhardt, then Senator from
Hunterdon county and now clerk OF
the supreme court. Former Senator
Gebhardt has given a copy OF this
bill to Senator Davis, the Democrats
leader in the upper branch, who is
looking into It's provisions WITH re-
ference to the present situation IN
the legislature on this question.
Briefly outlined, the G~ebhardt
measure provides for a much simpler
method of amending the constitution
and casts aside all idea of a con-
vention. The present constitutional
provision for amendments is hat
they must be passed by two success
sive legislatures and then be adopted
by the people at the polls. There Is
a further prev sion thai no amend
ment shall be submitted to the people
by the legislature oftener than once
In five years. This feature has been
the greatest factor in creating the
present strong sentiment In favor
constitutional changes. The Geb-
hardt bill submitted to Senator Davis
provides that proposed amendments
need be passed only one legislature
before being submitted to the people,
and also strike from the present con-
stitution the five year clause.
Discussing his proposition today,
former Senator Gebhardt said be be-
lieved it would meet with the approx
al Of the people and would be a
proper compromise In a situation
wi ere the two branches of the legis-
latare seem ~hopelessly at variance.
He declared that a progressive peo-
pie should not be thwarted in their
demands for a constitution to meet
present day conditions. He insisted
that the five year provision war OBJ
noxious and should be eliminated.
On this point he said:
1.-THE people of the state will see
how this will work out. This legis-
lature has passed a resolution pro-
posing q m suffrage amendment
to the constitution. This must come
before the next legislature, and this
is what will happen: All the reac-
~tionary politicians and others who do
not wish present methods changed
will advocate the woman suffrage
amendment so 1t will be sure to pass
next year. Then 1t will have to be
submitted to the people and in this
way the standpatters will effectually
block any constitutional changes, ex-
cept the m suffrage proposition
for another five years."

Even Standard Weights Bad.

London, March 24.-The strict
watch kept on weights and measures
in the British Isles has led to the
discovery that even standard weights
and measures are not to be relied
According to the annual report
on weights and measures Issued to-
day by the Board OF Trade, the only
four official copies Of the Imperial
standard yard in existence here have
shrunk. The standard yard Is kept
In the strong room Of the Standards
Department at Westminster. The
copies, which like the standard itself,
are made of bronze alloy have de-
creased In length, as follows:
The Royal Mint copy, 23 million
this Of an inch short; Royal Society
copy, 40 millionths short; Green
wich Observatory copy, 43 million
this short; Standard Department copy
215 millionths short.
The copies Of the standard pound
weight also vary, but not so much
as the yard measure.

FOR PENSIONS
FOR MOTHERS
Senator Nichols Bill Is Up
in the Legislature.
tFrom the NEWS correspondent.)

(From the NEWS Correspondent
Trenton, March 24.-The Nichols
dependent mothers pension bill, with
important amendments inserted as
the result of the public hearing on
the measure, is ready for final action
in the Senate this week and Senator
Isaac T. Nichols, Republican of Cum
berland county, expects to get 1t
passed. Senator Nichols, who intro
duced the bill, consented to the
amendments. He thinks there is
need of a mothers pension law as
that his bill as it now stands safe
guards every interest involved in the
proposition.
The modified provides
that every dependent widow who is a
mother may obtain, upon petition to
the county court, subject to the pro-
visions of the act, a pension for the
support of the child or children, the
amount paid to be 80 per month for
one child; S14 for two children, and
81 per month for each additional
child. The pensions are to be paid
by the county.
The petition presented to the court
must set forth the date of the death
of the husband, a statement of all
the property belonging to the petit
tioning widow and each child, with
any future or contingent interests
they may have. There must also be
a statement of the efforts made by
the mother to support the children,
with other necessary information on
which the court may determine the
justice of the appeal.
Upon the return of the petition the
Court shall conduct a hearii G, to
which the State Board of Children's
Guardian shall be made a party.
Witnesses are to be examined and
all the facts of the petition verified.
II the court finds that the relief
should be granted to prevent the
children from becoming public char
ges, 1t Is to make an order com
hitting the family to the State
Board Of Childrens' Guardians, and
the pension is then to be paid to the
mother through this Board. The
Board Is also to visit the family at
least six times a year, to see that the
children are being properly cared
for and educated In the home. In
case such proper care and education
are not being given, the court may
revoke the order, taking away the
pension.
The chief objections to the original
bill, namely that 1T did not make use
of existing charitable organizations
with their superior knowledge of
conditions, and did not provide for
ending the pension if there was cause
for such ending, have been met. the
former by making the State Board
of Children's Guardian s a party to
the proceedings, and the latter by
permitting the cancellation of the
pension order.

Bitter feeling Is expressed here
by both press and public over the
reported forcible conversion or

on threats of death. The death OF
the priest Pale who is said to v

caused fierce denunciation of the

BANKERS
request
REFUSED
President Wilson Does Not
Approve Of Taking Part
in Chinese Loan
(By Associates Sress.)

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Presi-
dent Wilson tonight in a statement,
approved by the cabinet after his dis
cussion, announced the administration
had declined the request of a group
of American bankers to continue ne
gOtiations for the participation in the
$l25, 100000 loan desired by the Chin.
ese government
The statement in part says the pres
ent administration has been asked by
a group Of bankers whether it will
request them to participate in the
loan. The bankers representative de-
clared they would continue to seek
their share of the loan only if express
ly requested to do so by the govern
ment.
The administration declined to
make such request because it did
not approve the conditions of the loan
or the implications of the RESPONSE
bility on it's part, which it was plainly
told to be involved in the request.
statement, seem to touch very near
ly the administrative independence Of
China itself; and this administration
does not feel it ought, even by impl-
cation, to be party to these condi.
tions. The responsibility on the ad-
ministration's part to be implied in
requesting the bankers to undertake
the loan might conceivably 90 some
length in an unhappy contingency of
forcible interference in the financial,
even the political affairs of the great
oriental state"
The responsibility of the govern
ment implied in the encouragement
of the loan, says the statement, was
plain enough and is obnoxious to the
which the. government
Of our people rests ., .s.,,-.
While todays statement means the
end of governmental support to loar
projects at present advanced, it is
pointed out in official circles that Am
erican banking firms can still share
part of the loan independently, and
without guarantees of support from
The government.
