TRENTON, \. j., April 9.-Tues-
day, May 6, is the day on which the
Legislature will convene in special
session to consider the jury reform
question, which was muddled in the
regular session just closed.
President Wilson will come TO New
Jersey to stir up public sentiment fol-
jury reform during the latter part OF
this month
This announcement was made by
Governor Fielder today. He does not
know just when the President will
come and no positive plans for the
campaign have been laid.
In speaking of the special session
Governor Fielder said
II have found in travelling through
the State a strong feeling for jury
reform and for a constitutional con-
vention. An opportunity will now be
given to the people of the different
sections of the State who are in
terested in one or both of these
measures to hold meetings at which
speakers may address the gatherings
and let public sentiment be brought
out on these questions for the benefit
of the members of the Legislature. !
am willing to attend these meetings,
so far as | may be requested | as
sumo that there will be at least one
meeting arranged at which President
Wilson will speak,"
Governor Fielder said he would
issue the call for the special session

Wilson Gives California Assur.
ance That State Rights
Will Be Respected.

| WASHINGTON. D. c., April g.
President Wilson let it be known to-
day that the Federal Government
would not interfere with pending
legisla ton i'm California by which
aliens who have not declared their
intention of becoming naturalzed as
American citizens are prohibited from
owning land OF property He com
municated this decision informally Ia
Representative Raker.
Though the measure is aimed pri-
marily at the Japanese, the fact that
it makes no discrimination of race in
its contents, as well as the desire
of the President not to interfere with
the sovereignty Of the State. has pre-
cluded any action by the Federal
Government a this time.
The Presidents position had been
that of merely an inquirer for infor-
nation following protests by the
Japanese Government.
President Wilson told Mr.. Raker
the whole question touched the
sovereignty of the state and that he
left ii TO California to make such
laws as 1t deemed advisable for itself,
with the hope, however. that no law
would be passed which was in conflict
with any treaty obligations of the
Federal Government

LOAN SHARK BILL
RAPED AT HEARING
Martin Act Doesn't Prevent
Charging Usurious Notes,
1t Is Said.
fFrom n stan Correspondence

TRENTON. ~ j., April 9.-The
provisions of the Martin loan shark"
and pawnbrokers' bill were attacked
today at a hearing before Governor
Fielder
A. H. Ham. representing the Rus
sell Sage foundation, declared that
under the bill it would be possible to
exact from small borrower 1877
per cent. annually, which is more
than is nov taken except in the most
fiagrant cases John Y. Laddy, of
the Newark Legal Aid Society, said
that the measure would give greater
freedom to money-lenders, and that
1t would allow people accused of vio-
lating its provisions to crawl out of
the clutches of the law because it
did not define a loan broker. and
consequently, the man actually MAX
ing the transaction could plead that
he was only an agent, and the man
whose money was loaned could say
that he was not a broker.
w. F. Davis, of the Newark Provi-
dent Loan Association, told how his
concern, one organized to enable per-
sons to borrow money without paying
excessive rates, is able to do business
profitably at the rate of ! per cent.
month
Assemblyman Thomas +, Martin,
who introduced the bill. said that it
was the best that could be had at
this time, and that it was along the
line of the Maryland statute. He said
it was something to start with and
try and that it could be improved, if
necessary.
n. p. Hall, an attorney of Balti-
more, represented some brokers and
pointed out that the bill was as near
a copy of the Maryland law as possi
ble He declared that it would en-
able the prosecution of violators, as
the money lender must give a receipt
to the borrower showing the terms of
the loan. If anything is found con-
trary to the law the lender may be
prosecuted.
The question why no provision for
revoking licenses was included was
brought up by Governor Fielder Mr.
Martin explained that it had been ne
elected, owing to the rush of business
at the close Of the session.

Secretary McAdoo, of the treasury
department, told a delegation from
the Newark Board of Trade today
that he would carefully consider the
appeal of Newark manufacturers to
have that city preserved as an inde-
pendent port of entry, and If the
facts warranted it, would make a
recommendation to Congress for fur
ther legislation that would permit
this to be done.
The delegation that called on the
secretary of the treasury included
Augustus V. Hamburg, president of
the Board of Trade; Curtis r. Bur-
nett, former Mayor William II. F.
Fielder A Rotschild and James M
Reilly.
The Newarkers We're accompanied
and introduced to the secertay by
Senator James E. MARITIME and Rep
resentatives Townsend and Mccoy
Mr.. Hamburg urged upon the sec
retary that If the plan for making
Newark a SUPPORT, with a deputy
in charge, under the supervision OF
the collector of the port Of New
York, were carried out, 1t would re-
suit in great inconvenience and dis
advantage to Newark business inter-
ests and would injure the develop
ment of Newark and adjacent towns.
The plan for dividing New Jersey
into two collection districts, placing
the northern half under the super
vision of the collector at New York
and the southern part under the Su-
perVision of the collector at Phila-
delphia, was enacted in an appro-
priation bill. President Taft delayed
the signing of the bill until few
hours before he quit office.
After listening to the Newark rep
resentatives Mr.. McAdoo said he
would be glad to consider brief
that the Board of Trade is TO pre-
pare and file, and that afterwards
he might give a formal hearing on
the subject. which he recognizes as
OF great Importance.
.a After leaving the treasury depart
ment the Newarlers went to the
White House and shook hands with
Secretary Tumulty.
I'm sorry you gentlemen didn't let
me know you were coming so the
President could see you" said Mr.
Tumulty: "but, if you'll wait a
minute, I know he'd like to shake
hands, if he has time
After a few minutes wait in the
secretary's room, President Wilson
walked in.
"Ah!" said he here are some old
friends | recognize" And he shook
hands and talked few minutes with
the members of the party.
This afternoon the Board of Trade
members called on Secretary Red
field, of the department of commerce,
and talked tariff with him, urging
that harm was certain TO come TO
Newark industries if the Underwood
bill passed as introduced.
They also called at the state de-
partment and shook hands with
William Jennings Bryan.
