no avail.
"Win Not Bar Ellsor Jurles..
Governor Fielder explained that he
had been informed by Attorney-Ge
eral Wilson that the bill would not
affect elisor-drawn or struck juries
in any way, although it would pre-
vent Common Pleas judges from
altering the petit jury lists.
When the vote was taken on the
bill there were fifteen in the affirma
tive and three in the negative. The
negative votes were cast by Senators
Pierce, Read and White, Republicans
The same objections to the bill
were brought up in the House, being
offered by Mr.. Matthews, of Essex
He added that it was political
measure, whose chief purpose was 70
secure the defeat of the chancellor
bill when the latter came to a refer
endum. Mr.. Matthews. being Witt
penn man, was not disposed to allow
Governor Fielder to get any credit
for providing a means of jury reform
if he could help it. His charge that
the bill was political measure was
warmly refuted by other assembly
men, including Mr.. zisgen, who has
stood with the Wilson forces on the
jury question Mr.. Martin asserted
that it was the only Jury bill pro
viding real reform. that had been Of
fered at the session
The vote on the bill was sS for and
8 against. The negative votes were
cast by Conrad, Republican, and ]. A.
Matthews and Roe. Several Republi-
cans voted aye. the entire affirmative
vote being: Ackley, A. M. Agnew, j.
C. Agnew, Beekman, Bracken,
Bredenbek. Burton, Carhart, Coles,
Egan, F'isch, FISHER. Hennessy, Hol-
combe, Rays, Kerwin, Kirkpatrick,
Kuhlke, Leonard, Lewis, Mcguire,
Martin, j. Matthews, McCabe, Nc
Dermott, McGrath, Mclaughlin,
Moore, Mount, Murray, Neighbour,
Nutting. Papscoe. Rowe, Smick,
Steuerwald. Taylor and zisgen.
Fielder and Taylor Active.
Before the tally was made Gov
ernor Fielder came into the chamber
and sought the support of several
members whose vote was doubtful,
and Speaker Taylor, with a check list
In hand, made a tally of his own to
be sure that the bill would go through.
According to all accounts it was a
warm conference which Assembly
men Martin. Egan and Taylor had
during the evening with the Senate
committee on procedure. The House
members insisted that the committee
report all the bills that had previ-
ously passed the lower branch. This
the committee refused to do, and the
outcome was a compromise, by which
only those House bills providing re-
medal legislation we're reported and
passed.
Among the bills finally passed were
that providing an additional appro-
priation of $500 for the State Hos
pital, $1,000 for the Supreme Court
clerk, 81 300 for the Colored Industrial
School, S1S9 for relief of Franklin
Titus and 1,500 for the chancery
clerk: that appropriating $1,000 for
the National Guard field hospital;
that compromising members of small
freeholder boards ousted by court or
der; several street Improvement meas
ures, bond and taxation measures;
the measure appropriating $4,000 for
maintenance of vocational schools,
and that appropriating s31. 900 for sup
port of the tuberculosis hospital in
Hudson county.
The Senate killed the measure per-
hitting New Brunswick to fill coun-
cilmanic vacancy Thus a deadlock is
created. Another bill defeated was
that abolishing the parole board.
Loan shark BIZ Held Up.
Mr.. Martins newst loan shark bill
was withheld for the purpose of
in the House. owing to
strong opposition, but the amend
ment was not made and the bill was
not heard of again. A bill by Mr..
Papscoe, exempting certain buildings
under construction from taxation, in
GLIDING the Sacred Heart Cathedral
in Newark, died in the Senate COM
mittee, after passing the House.
A similar fate was accorded the
bill of Assemblyman Nutting, which
is in line with sociological progress in
providing that health certificates
must be presented by both man and
woman before a marriage license can
be issued. The certificate would have
to be issued by reputable physician
licensed to practise in this State, and
any false statements in it would con-
vict the person making them of
misdemeanor. Also health certificates
could not be issued to a person hav-
ing malady which could be trans
mitted to child by the parent.
The House passed the bill without
debate. but it never came before the
Senate for consideration.
