WILSON SAYS STRUGGLE JER. sEY Is PART OF PEOPLES
 BATTLE FOR RIGHTS.
DEFENDED BY GOV. FIELDER
Chief Executive and State Leaders Agree on Compromise Plan for Jury Reform at Instance of
 State Party Leaders.

Jersey City, N. J., May 5.-President Wilson interpreted the fight in New Jersey for jury reform and constitu- tional revision as a part of the strug- gle of the American people to obtain through the Democratic party equal justice to all and special privilege to none. The president indicated that the protests being voiced against the tariff bill were those of the special interests. and not the masses.
 Some of my fellow-citizens and some of their colleagues in Washing ton," he said now think that they are hearing the voice of the people of the United States, when they are only hearing the part that has become vocal by moving down to Washington and insisting upon its special inter- ests."
 The president early in his remarks referred to the incidents in the legis- lativs conference when Assemblyman MoDermott openly defed him and fired such series of questions at MT. Wilson that Acting Gov. Fielder in tervened to prevent an embarrassing situation.
 T Sm not the servant of the Demo cratic party" he said. T am tho servant of the people acting through the Democratic party. which has now undertaken some of the most solemn obligations that party ever under took. for 1t has stepped forward at a moment of universal disappointment and said: We pledge you our honor as men and as patriots that you shall not be disappointed again
 The supreme test which the Demo- cratic party has now to respond to Is this: Is it ready to give the citizens of New Jersey final guarantee of dis interested justicef
 Are you going to burn incense to this god, or are you going to burn in- cense to the God of mankind, the God of love and of justice and of purity and of righteousness"
 The president said he was remind ed of some of the extraordinary mis- representations that have been made with regard to jury reform.
 After his conference with members of the legislature, however, he was consulted by the state patty leaders, and it was generally agreed to submit to the conference of the legislators Monday a compromise proposal which would provide ftt a commission sn each county to act with the sheriff in drawing jurors, so that the one would act as a check on the other.

WOMEN WANT NEGRO HANGED
Protest Against Delay in Execution of Black AssaIant in District
 of Columbia.

Washington, May S.-Women of Washington went to the District of Columbia court of appeals to protest against the delay in the execution of Nathaniel Greene, a negro, convicted and sentenced to be hanged for as- saulting Mrs. Adelaide Grant last Christmas night, almost in the shadow of the dome of the national capitol.
 Greene was sentenced to die March 25. but has been reprieved twice, his counsel fighting for new trial.
 "Pending an amendment to the law" said the petitioners, we women of Washington are dependent for protec- ton upon the interpretation of the law by your honorable court, and, while in no way attempting to influence your decision, we most ardently desire to protect against an extended hear ing on technical grounds alone
