WILSON JURY LAW KILLED
Justice Swayze Declares Meas
ure Is Unconstitutional.

The Chancellor jury reform bill. which
President Wilson fought for in New Jer-
sew was declared unconstitutional by JUS
tice Swayze OF the Supreme Court, yes
terday. The reason for declaring the act
invalid. as defined by Justice Swayze. was
that the Legislature by making the act
dependent upon a statewide referendum
had delegated. powers and responsibilities
which the constitution imposed on IL.
The Chancellor bill provides that the
Chancellor shall appoint one jury COM
missioner for each county In the state,
who, in conjunction with the Sheriff. shall
draw all grand and petit juries. II was
submitted 10 a vote of the people on last
Election Day, and was carried by good
majority Justice SwayZe. In his opinion,
lays emphasis or the fact that. although
a majority favored the measure, they
nevertheless represented minority OF
the voters OF the state.
Under Justice Swayze's opinion II is per-
MISSILE to use the referendum In munich
palities. but II is not permissible 10 make
the referendum statewide. and thus COM
pei the larger counties to force the act
on the smaller counties. The decision will
prove disappointing to large number OF
office seekers.
