JURY BILL GOES UP
TO WILSON AGAIN
Fielder and Wittpenn Both Wire
r4rat =.
Tumulty Their Ideas on
the Subject.
From a stnG correspondent.1

TRENTON, N. j.. March tS.-The
fight over the jury reform bill, which
President Wilson diverted from
Washington to this State yesterday.
was Unexpectedly carried back to the
national capital today
This came as direct result of the
conference which Mayor Wittpenn, OF
Jersey City. had with Governor
Fielder. in which the two gubernato-
rial aspirants gave each other their
opinions of the jury measure.
Mayor Wittpenn told the governor
that, in his opinion. a referendum on
the bill was necessary. He added that
this was in no way opposed to Presi-
dent Wilson's ideas in the matter He
said. however. that the Martin refers
endum to the zisgen bill was not
proper.
Shortly after he gave this states
ment Governor Fielder disappointed
over Mayor Wittpenns actions with
respect to the Davis jury commission
bill, authorized his secretary, c. Ed
ward Hermann, to send the follow
ing telegram to Joseph p. Tumulty
secretary to President Wilson:
Governor Fielder this morning had
a conference with Mayor Wittpenn
and requested his assistance to have
the jury reform bill passed without
the referendum amendment
He refused To do so and Governor
Fielder requests me to ask you to
use your good offices with Mayor
Wittpenn to have him give this sup
port to him"
When word Of the sending of this
telegram reached Mayor Wittpenn
he opened a wire himself and indited
the following to Mr.. Tumulty:
"A deliberate effort is being made
To falsify my position on jury reform.
| am pledged to zisgen bill with an
honest referendum which is, | am
informed, the position of the Presi-
dent"

from /. stan Correspondence

TRENTON, n. J., March 1S.-Be-
fore the Senate took a recess today
the jury commission bill of Senator
Davis was brought up on third read
ing.
Senator Edge asked permission to
offer a substitute in the form of
Senator Reads bill providing for the
appointment of three jury commits
sioners in each county by the Circuit
Court judge. The consent was granted
by Senator Davis, and discussion be-
gan on the original bill and the sub
stitute. on the roll-call the substi-
tute was defeated, to IL.
The Davis bill was then passed
without a dissenting vote. President
Johnson said he did not think the
bill was necessary or would serve its
purpose. but he deferred to the de-
mand for the measure and voted
for it.
Governor Fielder had a conference
today with Mayor IT. Otto Wittpenn,
of Jersey City, on the jury commits
sion question. Mayor Wittpenn in
formed Governor Fielder that he was
in favor of jury reform, but that he

mission bill proper referendum. He
said.
Il desire at this time to express my
Unqualified Endorsement of the Zisgen
jury bill with an honest referen-
DUN.
Il am opposed to the present form
of referendum now attached to the
bill, but I am in favor of a referen-
dunn which will permit the voters OF
any county who may not desire the
provisions of the bill to become M
operative in that county to express
their disa pproval in a proper way
The kiud of referendum which | ad-
vocate is one which makes the law
operative in ali counties until GER
tain percentage of the voters in any
county shall, by a petition presented
to the proper authorities ask that
the question of the operation of the
bill in that county be submitted to
vote. This is the kind of referen-
DUN to which the Democratic party,
both nationally, and the progressive
element of the party in this State,
is committed. The referendum pro-
posed to the Zisgen bill by Assembly
man Martin is the form always
adopted when it is desired to defeat
u bill which the Legislature has not
the moral courage to defeat"
Governor Fielder's attitude is that
referendum is not necessary, he as
suming the voters last fall in elect
ing Democratic Legislature, de-
cIared for jury reform because of the
pledge in the Democratic State plat
form.

TaXiBandit Head
Barred Secrets

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Joseph
Taylor, the dapper cane twirling
young man who coolly confessed to
the police last night that he was the
leader of the band of taxicab bandits
that has been terrorizing the city for
the last few months, was expected by
the police today to make revelations
which would lead to further arrests.
Besides Taylor ten men are held to-
day as the result of the work of de-
tectives who have been trying to run
down the perpetrators of some of the
boldest street robberies in the present
generation of police.
Taylor, according to the police, is
inclined to boast of his pro~ess.

UNPRECEDENTED, THEY
SAY OF WILSON'S REQUEST

WASHINGTON, March 1S-Veteran
politicians here say that in sending
a telegram to the Democratic leaders
in New Jersey demanding a radical
change in the pending jury reform
bill before the State Legislature,
President Wilson has gone farther
than any of his predecessors in the
presidential office in attempting to
influence State legislative action
1t is recalled here that while Theo-
dore Roosevelt when President, con-
tended that he had the right to take
part in arranging the Political pro-
grams of the Republican party IN his
own State, he did not attempt directly
to influence legislation pending in the
New York Legislature. The nearest
he came to it was when he demanded
the resignation Of Archie Sanders,
United States collector of internal
revenue at Rochester, for the avowed
purpose of strengthening the hands
of Governor Charles F. Hughes in
his efforts to remove the then insur-
ance commissioner from office. Col
lector Sanders was supposed to con-
troll one state senator and two men,
posins the governors wishes.
President oosevelt also sent George
II. CorteIyou, then secretary of the
treasury, to New York when the Re-
nublican state convention was in ses-
sion at Saratoga, in September. 1905
with instructions to telephone KEEP
resentative Herbert Parsons, at sara
toga. that the President wanted Mr'
Hughes renominated for governor
But Colonel Roosevelt had not tried
to influence the action of any State
legislature by direct and public effort
II was recalled also that the nomina-
tion of F'olger for governor of New
York had been dictated by President
Arthur but he, too, it was remarked,
had not used the prestige of the presi-
dental office to obtain the enactment
or defeat of State legislation. Presi-
dent Wilson'S action is said to be un-
precedented.

team was made within three minutes or
the end OF the game. when Coffee made
ninety-yard dash down the field for a
touchdown.
The clevcns were about equally bal

too clever. Rutgers started scoring al
most as soon as the game began. Their
first touchdown was made within a min

ball 10 the 20-yGrd line and IL was run
back by Hudson, who was tackled and

Rutgers. while for Trinity Hudson and
Coffee played the best game. Trinity at
no time was dangerous. The game was
marked by heavy penalizing of the Rut-
