the government, but this is not so
with reference to approving bills
passed by the legislature. In the
latter case only the word governor"
Is used.
Those who oppose the double func-
ton of the acting governor claim
that the constitution neither express
ly provides nor ever intimates that
an acting governor shall embrace
both the executive and the legisla-
tive function of government. Article
III of the constitution says:
''The powers of the government
shall be divided into three distinct
departments-the legislative, exc
cutive and judicial; and no person
or persons belonging to, or constitut-
ing one of these departments. shall
exercise any OF the powers properly
belonging to either Of the others, ex-
cept an herein expressly provided" !"
With the strong opposition being
made against any jury reform, 1t is
considered quite probable that litiga-
uon will be started to upset any such
law II 1t be put on the statute books
with the aid OF the acting governors
vote and pen.
Politicians Getting Tired.
It was very evidep from the state
ments made by the legislators and
politicians here yesterday afternoon
that they are getting mighty tired of
the pickering on jury reform which
Is leading to prolonged session, and
a determined effort will be made to
reach final adjournment next week.
to
priation bills and perhaps a half
dozen measures needed to meet en-
ergencies will be passed, but that
there will be no general lettinG down
of the board for the enactment of
promiscuous legislation. The latter
course would be too dangerous in a
gubernatorial year.
Constitutional Convention Dead.
The constitutional convention
proposition is believed to be dead,
owing to the flat failure of North and
South Jersey to get together on a
bill. No definite prediction can be
made as to what jury reform legisla-
ton will be enacted. From what
could be gathered today, the prob
ability Is that both chancellor bill
with the referendum and the new
Fielder bill which the governor threw
into the ring Monday, without ref
erendum, will be passed. 1t is this
for which Governor Fielder is now
fighting. He insists that both meas
ures should be passed, his new bill to
take effect Immediately. This would
give the state some immediate Jury
-eform and would provide law II
he Chancellor bill were rejected
next November upon the referendum.

FAST LINE ASKS.
TO RAISE FARE
Trolley Between New Bruins
wick and Trenton Loses.
(From the NEWS correspondento

Trenton, May 21.-The Trenton
Terminal Railroad Company, which
operates the trolley line between
Trenton and a point near Milltown.
Middlesex county, has filed with the
State Board of Public Utility Com
missioners a petition asking that it
be allowed to increase the excursion
rate of fare charged between points
on its line and also to discontinue its
single ticket rate which is now in
force. The Public Utility Commits
sion will give public hearing on the
petition on Tuesday, June 3, at the
State House.
The petition shows that the pres
ent excursion, or round trip fares
are as follows:
From New Brunswick to Milltown
Junction, 10 cents; to Patricks Cor
ners, 20 cents; to Dayton, 25 cents;
to Plainsboro, 80 cents; to Growers
Mills, 35 cents; to Dutch Neck, As
cents; to Mercerville, As cents; to
Interstate Fair Grounds, 60 cents;
to Trenton, so cents.
The excursion fares which the
company asks to be permitted to
charge are:
From New Brunswick to Milltown
Junction, 10 2-2ts. Patricks Corners.
% cents; Dayton, 80 cents; Plains
boro, 40 cents; Growers Mills, so
cents; Dutch Neck, SIS cents; Mercer
vile, 20 cents: Interstate Fair
Grounds, rs cents, and Trenton, 50
cents.
The petition shows that by virtue
of certain agreements the cars of this
company are operated from the end
of its railroad over tracks of the
Public Service Railway Company
into New Brunswick. 1t shows fur
ther that from February, 1908, to
May, 1910, the Trer ton & New
Brunswick Railroad Company, which
built the line, was in the hands of a
receiver; that the total gross re-
ceipts and operating expenses for the
past three years were as follows:
Gross receipts-1919, $49,114.86:
1911, $51,112.S1; 1912, $49,695.02;
operating expenses and taxes, 1910,
1911, $53,179.03; 1912,
1910, s959.20 gain;
1911, $2,066.22 loss; 1912, $4,000
So loss.
The company in its petition says
that the present rates, SO far as
single tickets and return tickets are
are irrational and do not
furnish the operating company
enough revenue to pay legitimate OPP
Grating expenses and taxes. 1t asks,
therefore, that it be permitted to
charge the proposed higher rates

WILSON CENSOR
PUT ON SPEECH
Has Congressman Cut Out
Reference to Japan.

Washington, May 21.-President
Wilson disregarded precedence again
today and exercised what amounted
to a censorship over speech-making
in congress which might complicate
the Japanese situation. Learning
that Representative Sisson intended
to discuss the Japanese situation
again, and bearing in mind Sisson's
inflamatory utterances several weeks
ago, Wilson sent for the congress
man and asked him to detail what
he proposed to say. Sisson was re-
Quested to eliminate any portion of
his speech which nigh tend to arouse
feeling in Japan.
