AS for Judge Cooper, it is entirely
possible that he is not perfect. In
deed it would not surprise us in the
least to learn that at some time or
other in his career he has had a
corn on one of his toes and that in
early youth he had wind on his stom-
ach. But neither of these is a con-:
stitutional affliction, however pain
full, and neither offense is punishable
by death.
We hope that all concerned will
take as calm and dispassionate judi
cial review of the case as we have
taken here and that everybody con-
cerned will be happy ever afterward.

JURY REFORM PASSED
WITH A REFERENDUM
AFTER A COMP PROMISE
tFrom the NEWS Correspondent,

tFrom the NEWS Correspondent)
Trenton, May 13:-Having for its
setting one of the biggest rows seen
IL The New Jersey legislative halls in
years, the Compromise jury reform
bill which had the support of Presi-
dent Wilson and his followers was
passed In the House of Assembly yes
terday afternoon by the vote of 80
to 10 after it had been further COM
promised by tacking a referendum to
it. 1t was the third distinct victory
'of the anti-Wilson forces in the jury
reform fight, they having forced a
referendum in two other measures
during the last days of the regular
session. By out-generaling the pro-
gressive Democrats, Martin, the re-
dictionary leader, made good his
declaration that no jury reform
measure without O referendum could
be passed.
The passage of the emasculated
Egau bill came after Speaker Taylor
had made the astonishing admission
that he had seen former Senator
James Smith, Jr., on Saturday in
reference to the bill. Speaker Tay-
lor on Saturday also saw the MEM
bers of the Essex delegation who are
controlled by former Senator Smith;
Assemblyman Martin, the Hudson
anti-Wilson leader; and the Passaic
delegation, who all along have favor
ed the referendum. These men, in
cf1ding Smith. were seen by Taylor
as the result Of a conference at the
State House last Friday night at
which there were present State
Treasurer Edward r. Grosscup;
Mayor Wittpenn. OF Jersey City;
Editor James Kerney, of this city,
and other Wilson leaders.
Speaker Taylor gave no direct In
t nation that President Wilson had
authorized him to see former Sena-
tor Smith, but he said that he had
not seen Smith until he had been as

He announced to the people at
large on his arrival that he had un-
limited wealth and to make these as
sertions sound plausible he pur-
chased, or attempted to purchase al
most every dwelling In the town and
as a result of this visit to the town
the price of the Disney Health Home,
the main residence that he made a
point to own, at once was boosted
In price from $4,000 to q mere

His visit to the poolrooms was also
a sign of Joy to the owners of the
table and he invariably spent the
evening telling the natives of his

the room with a request that the
owner put on ice" the nights bill.
This was true also at the drinking
places in the town.

LIBRARY ASKS
MORE MONEY

That this city's public library
possesses but sixteen or seventeen
per cent. of the books which it should
have to compare favorably with the
standard libraries was the text OF a
report made to the Board of Trus-
tees of the Public Library last night
by Commissioner Frank l.. Antisell
The members of the library board
have decided to appear before the
Board of Aldermen Friday night and
ask for an added appropriation of
about s 1000. The board has already
received an appropriation of $500,
but the trustees claim that the law
governing the appropriation to public
libraries entities the local board to
nearly $1,000 more.
Fred ]. Cox was chosen president,
Frank l.. Antisell was elected treas
urer, and DR.. Francis w. Kitchell
was elected secretary. Mr.. Hoyler,
the retired president, made a short
address.
President Cox appointed the fol-
lowing committees: Books, Kitchell,
Cox and Antisell; house,
Hoyler, chairman, Antisell and Leon;
and finance, Kithcell, chairman, Hoy
Ter and Leon.

MOTORCYCLE
IS WRECKED
BY K0zUSk0

Mounted Patrolman George Ko-
zusko was somewhat bruised and the
police motorcycle was badly dam
aged shortly after O'Clock this af-
ternoon, when the rider and machine
collided with a porch at the front of
c. F. Benton's residence at High and
Market streets. There ended Officer
Kozusko's first ride on a motorcycle.
1t was the termination of wild and
zig-zag course taken through city
hall park, which extended over curbs
and In and out among trees.
Kozusko had been riding the po-
lice department horse. Like other
mounted officers must do, he was
assigned to learn to ride the Indian,
twin cylinder motorcycle. City Clerk
Wilbur La Roe started him from in
front of city hall. After he had rid

missed big yellow dog. Fifty feet
farther and he Just SKINNED by a
wagon. The next instant he leaped
up over the park curb and took a
wild ride, through the northwestern
section OF the park, during which he
just managed to dodge numerous
trees. He was going about thirty
miles an hour and appeared unable
to stop the machine. The speed was
so great that he could not turn short
enough on the lawn in front OF the
Benton residence, so the machine
collided with the porch, pitching the
rider upon the steps. The forward
part of the machine, including the
fork and handle bars were damaged

dealer and a city house and to whom
he never paid a cent deposit, though
he did agree to give his personal
check in the course of q few days.
An order for the wiring of this
house with orders to furnish none
but the most expensive electric light
fixtures also caused the manager of
the local, company to think that the
town was at last on the way for
wonderful boom. But when the
usual deposit was requested before
the contract was made was eXacted
of him he became furious and at
once cancelled the order and declared
he would at once erect on the prem
ises a private lighting plant that
would put the local company to
shame.
He did at once install a private
plant of his own in the Magee prop
erty where he made his home for a
few days and this plant" was dis
closed after he was placed under
arrest for defrauding the people out
of about four thousand dollars. The
plant" that he threatened to install
was pint whiskey bottle and the
light was small candle that was
used for the entire household. This
was disclosed by the drippings of tai

4TH OF JULY WORKERS
DECIDE TO GET THE
OPINION OF CITIZENS

Mayor Garretson called the chair
men of the different committees that
had charge of last years Fourth of
July celebration, together at the city
hall last night to discuss plans for
celebration this year. 1t was de-
cided to go ahead with the plans
provided it became evident that the
public would support a celebration.
1t was shown that last year there
was a big falling off in popular sub
scriptions, that while thousands took
In the various sports, watched the
open air circus, listened to the bands
and enjoyed the fireworks, very few
contributed a cent toward the ex-
pense of the occasion. 1t was also
evident that the burden was falling
on practically the same few people
year after year.
Last year the expenses amounted
to nearly $1,000. OF this over $500
was contributed by the Board of AL
dermen out of the city funds, leav-
ing only half the amount given by
the people and of this over $3.50 was
contributed by out of town brewer
les. Thus only a little over $500 of
the total expense of nearly $1,000
was given by the people themselves
direct. 1t was the opinion of those
at the conference last night that II
the people did not care enough about
the celebration to properly support

There Is considerable objection to
calling upon the Board of Aldermen
this year for funds, as the city is

AUTO BURNED
BY BACK-F|RE

A National automobile owned and
driven by Christian Won Spreckelsen,
an ice cream and candy manufac-
turer of LAG Smith street, was to-
tally destroyed by fire following q
back fire shortly after 4 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. The machine was
large red one used for the purpose
of delivering Ice cream and confec-
tlonery. 1t had recently been over
hauled and equipped with three new
tires. For this reason the owner
claims he lost an amount equal to
about the cost of the car. 1t was In
sured for about $500.
All efforts to save the big machine
after the fire had started proved flu

men responded with chemical appa-
ratus to still alarm. Practically
all woodwork including two wheels
and two tires on the right side of
the machine were consumed within
a few minutes after the fire had
started, despite all efforts of the fire
fighters. Alexander Conquest had
his hands slightly burned in trying
to extinguish the flames.
The engine OF the machine had
been running irregularly all day. 1t
back-fred repeatedly, which 1t had
seldom done before. Mr.. Won
Spreckelsen had to deliver an order
of ice cream In the northern part
of the city. He called Mr.. Conquest,
a garage owner, into consultation
and asked him to accompany him on
the trip to test and adjust the en-
gine.
While riding on Amboy avenue,
near the Intersection of the Maurer
road In the extreme northerly part
of the city, the engine back fired
several times and ignited gasoline in
the carburetor. In an instant the
front of the machine was enveloped
IN flames. Conquest leaped from his
seat and using only his bare hands
tried vainly to extinguist the fire.
Mounted Patrolman Kozusko called
out the Garfield company.

FIRE SCORCHES
THE CHICKENS

A dozen or more chickens belong
ing to Morris Greenberg, Of 256
Smith street, had their feathers
scorehed In a fire which might have
destroyed several buildings, but only
demolished q chicken house, about
$50 last night. The quick work of
the f1remen subdued the flames be-
for they could ignite any other build
ings in that vicinity. The chicken
house was located in the rear OF Mr..
Greenberg's home. The structure is
part OF the N. Robinson property.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
The demolished building was 10
Gated among other frame structures
that would have been easily ignfted
and caused the flames to spread TO
the home of James Doyle a few yards
away, In Elm street, but for the i'm
mediate response OF the Lincoln En-
gin Company, the Protection Hook
and Ladder Company and the Eagle
Hose and Chemical Company.
The chickens were quietly resting
OH their roosts when they smelled
smoke around them. This made the
rooster let out an unearthly sound,
which attracted the attention of Mrs.
Greenberg, who opened the door OF
the henery, and the chickens escaped.
In but short while flames had burst
out Of all sides OF the building, and
they were licking the sides of other
frame structures nearby. The hose
OF the Lincolns and the Eagles was
soon trained on the confagration.
The horse, which conveys Chief
Frank c. Comings to fires. received
an ugly cut just above the ankle OF
It's right rear leg, when in Elm street
1t stepped into receiving basin.
A peculiar phenomina occurred at
the Lincoln Engin house when the
alarm No. 2 from the box at Smith
street and the Central railroad rang.
The indicator pointed to No. SO in
stead of 20. The error has been
reported to City Electrician Jay

atus.
