THE position of the Democratic
party on the trust question is such
that it will be very important to have
a legal advisor in perfect sympathy
with carrying out the policies of the
party on the subject and one who
has made a profound study of it. Mr..
Conway's legal attainments are wide

yer in the state who has made a
more profound study of the subject
of trust legislation and regulation.
He has invariably allied himself with
the best of the Democratic progress
sive measures"
United States Senator-elect Robert
F. Broussard, of Louisiana, saw the
governor at the latter's request and
talked with him about the United
States Commerce Court. There has
been an effort to abolish the court
and Mr.. Broussard, who Is now a
member of Congress, urged upon the
President-elect that 1t, or a body its
equivalent, be retained. Governor
Wilson said he had formed no judg-
ment on the question yet. Congress
man Brussard also discussed the
tariff and hoped that no change
would be made in the sugar schedule.
Congressman Robert l.. Henry, of
talked with the President-elect
legislation to be considered at
the special session of Congress next

OF
SENTENCE ACT
State Prison Inspectors Con-
denim the New Law.
tFrom .as NEWS cerrespenaent.l

Trenton. Jan. iT.-Adverse eriti-
eism OF the act of 1919. known as
Tho Two-Thirds indeterminate
Sentence Act" is contained In the
annual report OF the Roard of In.
speetors OF the state Prison, sub.
mltted today~to Governor Wilson.
The Board OF Inspectors disapproves
o. the law because Il practically
places the inspectors In the position
OF usurptns the powers Of the Court
OF Psrdens and OF approving or dis.
approving OF the action OF commit
ting magistrates. Under the act In
question, prisoners committed to
State Prison under = specific son
tenec r privileged 10 appeal 10 the
Board of inspectors TO be set at
large after they have served two
thirds of the time for which they
were committed. Provided the Gov.
ernor confirms the action. the Board
may set such prisoner at liberty.
The comment OF the inspectors Is as
follows;
while the Board has no desire to
escape any OF the duties which the
Legislature, In It's wisdom may have
seen Mt to impose upon II. neverthe-
less. the Board can hardly recon
cile itself 70 the belief that the Leg
islature desired to delegate to II the
powers of the Court OF Pardons. It
seems homogeneous to believe that
the Legislature will impose upon the
Board of Inspectors, an administers
tive body, the power, In a sense. to
abrogate the judicial acts of duly
constituted officials imposing penal
ties under the constitutional provi-
sions of the crimes act"
The inspectors report that the in
determinate sentence act of 1911,
under which convicts are sentenced
for an indeterminate period instead
of for a fixed term. was in the line
Of progress and humanity.
The report shows that the total
expenditures of the prison during
the fiscal wear of 1912 were $278.-
635.04. The cast receipts amounted
to $94,109.13; leaving the net cost
of the institution for the year,
s~l84.525.91. The average number
OF prisoners maintained during the
year was 1850. The net cost per
capita per annum was $4,000, and
the net cost per capita per diem, "a
cents and a fraction.
The number of>convicts received
during the year was 634, Of whom
80 were females. The number of
prisoners .paroled was 1872. There
were 2 electrocutIons during the
year. The inspectors refer to the
new system tn be established In the
prison. abolishing contract labor
and having the convicts manufac-
ture articles for use in the other
state institutions. 1t also refers to
new law permitting ~convicts to
work on the roads. The report
shows the need of the LEGISLATURE
making provision for carrying out
these two important changes.

CHANGING
CONSTITUTION
Date for Hearing to bs Fixed
Next Week.
tr,pm ,As NEWS correspondent.)

tFfON fhe NEWS CorreSpondeHt.)
Trenton, Jan. 1.-THE date for
the first public hearing on the Hen
messy constitutional convention bill
will probably fixed next Monday eve
ming or Tuesday morning. Owing to
the great Importance OF the measure
It is expected that several hearings
will be given and the probably is
that the first one will be fixed for
an early date.
The hearings are sure to provoke
the liveliest controversies. The con-
test over the will be large
ly between North and South Jersey
over the question of the apportion-
ment Of the delegates to the conven-
ton, which are to be elected next
June. The Hennessy bill apportions
the delegates upon the same basis as
in the Assembly, and this will give
North Jersey absolute control of the
convention, as the counties of Essex,
Hudson, Passaic, Morris and Union
would have 81 delegates, or six votes
more than a majority.
The large and populous counties
of North Jersey want State Senators
elected by Senatorial districts on the
basis Of population, contending that
it is not fair for a small county like
Cape May to have as much power in
the Senate as Essex or Hudson. This
will be one Of the changes in the
Constitution to be proposed, and If
North Jersey controls the convention
1t Is natural to suppose hat the dele
gates from that section will see that
the change Is voted. South Jersey
will bitterly fight this scheme and
will contend for n convention in
which each county has the same
number of delegates. as in the Sen
ate is now constituted.
Assemblyman Hennessy said today
that in his opinion this question was
not so important provided the NUM-
cipalities be given greater powers OF
local self government. The Demo-
cratic platform, he said, declares for
home rule for municipalities, and
this will be one OF the propositions
to come before the convention. II
1t be granted, he continued, then the
of local questions will not
come before the legislature as at
present. The state law makers will
only have to concern themselves with
big state wide Issues, and in the con-
OF them the question OF
the basis Of representation will have
little bearing or effect.
Governor Wilson Is going to take
q personal interest in the bill and
the Civic Federation and other SIM
liar bodies will advocate 1t.

WILSON WOULD
OMIT THE BALL
Governor Asks Committee to
Have Feature Omitted.
(From the NEWS Correspoudeut.)

~ 49, " - WI NoFNftNSfNfJ
Trenton, Jan. 17:-Expressing
himself as strongly opposed to the
holding of an inaugural ball next
March, Governor Wilson has express
ed the wish that such a function be
dispensed with in connection with
his induction into the Office Of Presi-
dent. He thinks 1t should be set
aside because Of the expense upon
the government and because these
balls have ceased to be necessary TO
the enjoyment of the visitors of the
Inauguration.
The ball has for several years been
held in the Pension Building, and it
has been necessary to discontinue
work in the building for two weeks
previous to the Inauguration. The
estimated cost of the ball to the
government in this way alone was
about $4,000 for Mr.. Taft's inaug-
ural, not including the expenses of
the inaugural committee. Governor
Wilson has written a letter to Will
liam Corcuran Eustis, chairman OF
the Inaugural Committee, stating
that he has come to the conclusion
that 1t Is his duty to ask the commit
tee to consider the feasibility of
emitting the inaugural ball altogeth-
er.
The governor held several confer
ences yesterday afternoon, the most
important being with a committee of
New York Democrats, to urge the
selection of former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Thomas f. Conway. Of New
York. as attorney general. They
claimed hat Mr.. Conway was an ad-
mirable man for the place because
he has made a study of corporation
law and trust questions, and Cover
nor Wilson's administration will have
much to do with these propositions.
