Arm, at Market
for His Household

WASHINGTON. May 27.--Seere-
tary Bryan is not too busily en-
gagged with affairs of state to do
the marketing for the Bryan
household. Almost any morning
the secretary of state may be
seen in local market place with
a large basket swinging from his

the crowd and apparently does not
mind it any more than he did
when making his political cam
paign tours.
Secretary Bryan's fondness for
the radish of the white variety is
now generally known among
marketmen and they try to keep
on. hand the kind he likes. The
other day. however much to Col
onel Bryan's disappointment his
favorite vegetable was not to be
had.
You know I'm Just crazy about
white radishes," said the secre-
tary to a woman shopping beside
him. mo other kind will do"
And he continued his search
among the stands.

teen years worked as a clerk in

last night. Stewart, a veteran of the
Civil War, a few days after coming
here in 1895. obtained employment in

Jury Bills Now
Up to GoOernor
acontlnued from First Paseo

10 succeed the late Lewis j. Martin.
The chancellor-sheriff jury bill was
passed several weeks ago in the
House. It's passage in the Senate
last night was made possible only by
bringing Senator Munson back from
Europe hurriedly and by allowing
Governor Fielder to act in his ca
pacity as the senator from Hudson.
This gave the Democrats the eleven
votes necessary to pass the measure,
and that number was all it received
in the affirmative. The entire Re-
publican minority of nine recorded
its opposition to the bill, calling it
all the names it could think of from
hybrid" to 'subterfuge.
Senator Nichols Is Caustic.
The debate on the bill in the Sen
ate brought forth the charge made
several times before by Republicans
that Democrats were supporting it
only to save the face of President
Wilson. Senator Nichols handed out
most of the caustic remarks, clubbing
President Wilson Woodrow Wilson,
the First.
Then Senator Edge, also a Repub-
liean. heaped more fuel on the fire.
There was no truth in the claim of
Democrats that the chancellor bill
was a compromise, he declared; actu-
ally it was a complete surrender.
These charges brought Senator Davis,
majority leader, to his feet with
fiery denial and a vigorous attack
upon Republicans for the part they
had taken in the jury fight. He re-
called the days of the Board of
Guardians" the Republican leaders
who used to control the Legislature.
When the Fielder jury bill was
brought up an eleventh-hour attempt
to defeat it was made by pushing the
claim that it would prevent elisor-
drawn and struck juries, and would
prevent Common Pleas Judges from
striking from and adding names to
the petit jury lists. These objections
were raised by Senator Pierce, of

the special session, first for s1s, 00o.
and then cut it to $500. This was
passed in the House, but it died in
committee in the Senate, 1t being
held that the regular way to pay for
services at an extra session was to
make an appropriation in the follow
ing year.
While it was stated that the
amounts to be paid to employees were
only rs per cent. of their salaries for
the regular session, the itemized bill
revealed that in some cases the
amounts were as high as 81 per cent.
Some of the employees would have
received as much as $50 for each of
the ave days work had the bill gone
through, while others would have
been paid $50 day.
Important General bills.
Important among the general bills
which were passed by both houses
were that by Governor Fielder pro-
viding for a primary election for the
nomination of candidates to fill the
vacancy in the Sixth congressional
district, and that by Assemblyman
McDermott, making needed changes
In the Walsh commission government
act Mr.. McDermott's measure will
help out Jersey City and other large
municipalities which may adopt the
act by opening the way for an eff
fective recall of commissioners and
providing that firemen and policemen
cannot be broken by shifting them
from one department to the other.
Members of the Assembly evinced
their esteem for approximations
Cornelius J.. Ford by presenting to
him just before adjournment large
silver loving cup. The presentation
speech, of a humorous nature, was
made by Assemblyman McDermott.
The freebooter bill enacted was
that of Assemblyman Hennessy, of
bergen. It provides that second
Class counties may adopt the Gill
act for small boards at any special
election. thus enabling Bergen to
adopt the act at the election to be
heIe this summer for a congressman

MAY VETO
CHANCELLOR BILL.
Governor Will Sign His Own
Jury Bill Today, but Defer
Egan's.
IRON a stan corresponaent.1


TRENTON, N. j.. May 27.--As an
aftermath to the final adjournment
of the special session of the legisla-
ture, the air about the State House
today is full of all kinds of rumors
respecting the fate of the chancellor
sheriff jury bill at the hands of Cow
ernor Fielder.
1t is no secret that Governor Field
err has never had any sympathy with
the measure and that he opposed
1t when it was suggested at the con-.
ference President Wilson had with
State Treasurer Grosscup, Secretary
of State Crater and other Democrats
in Jersey City during the Presidents
recent trip to New Jersey.
Even from President Wilson'S point
of view the bill was regarded as
compromise rather than afrealization
of what the President most desired.
At the same time there was thought
of getting through the Legislature
the Fielder bill that was passed last
night in addition to the chancellor
sheriff BILL
Now comes the suggestion that the
chancellor sheriff bill is unconstitu-
tional because it is not completed
legislation at the hands of the Legis-
lature, but that it Improperly dele
gates legislative function to the
voters of the State
Again it is argued that the Fielder
bill is more in the line of true jury
reform than the chahceller- sheriff
bill, and that it would be a mistake.
to risk having the Fielder bill multi
fed by the adoption by the people of
the chancellor sheriff bill, even If the
latter is constitutional
Further it is deemed undesirable in
gubernatorial election to have the
choice of Governor overshadowed
by Statewide fight over the adop-
ton or rejection of the chancellor
sheriff BILL when there is on the
statute books in permanent form a
law of the character of the Fielder
bill.
No one in a position to know will
verify the ru1nors as to the likeli-
hood of a veto, and it was generally
understood last night that Governor
Fielder would sign both jury bills.
Governor Fielder today announced
that he would sign his own bill this
afternoon and also said he expected
to sign the chancellor-sheriff bill,
out not today"
This leads to a suspicion that the
matter of the constitutlonality OF
the chancellor-sheriff bill may be
referred to the attorney-general, be-
fore the bill receives executive ac-
ton.
