difference of Opinion as to
Whether Wilson Won Real
Victory or Not.
FIELDER GAINS PRESTIGE
Fact He Succeeded in Getting
His Bill Passed May Aid
Him in Securing Nomi-
nation for Governor.
fBy Tclesraph to The tribune.

Trenton. n j.. May Ex-Governor
Fielder signed to-day his own jury reform
bill passed by the special session OF the
Legislature. which adjourned early this
morning The law became effective I'm
medately. The Governor has not yet APP
proved the Chancellor-Sherin eferendum
jury bill. The Executive has five days
time. however. within which TO act on
this bill.
The question that naturally arises now
is has President Wilson won his fight for
genuine jury reform in New Jersey? a
few OF the Presidents intimate friends
will say that he has. but the general opin-
ion among both Democrats and Repuol-
cans around here seems 10 be that he has
been defeated. and that his two-day
speechmaking trip through the state has
availed nothing.
The President IL a believer in genuine
jury reform. lie personally wanted a
commission appointed by the Supreme
Court. end falling 10 convince the Demo-
cratic lawmakers as to the benefits OF this
plan he finally compromised on a bill
providing for the appointment Of single
commission by the Chancellor TO cooper
ate with the Sheriff.
The Presidents friends found II impos-
sible TO get even their compromise
through the Assembly because Of Jim
Nugent and his machine.
When the special session OF the New
Jersey Legislature finished its work
shortly before o'clock this morning, the
question that most interested the Demo-
cratic Legislature was not whether real
reform legislation had been enacted, but
which OF the two pronounced candidates
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor this fall had come out OF II with
the more prestige. These candidates are
Governor James F. Fielder and Mayor
II o. Wittpcnn Of Jersey city.
The special session had been called for
the purpose OF passing three specific
measures carrying out pledges in the
Democratic platform last fall. These were
Jury reform. constitutional convention
and the adoption OF the small Board or
Freeholders for all counties All attempts
TO accomplish anything along the lines OF
the last two named subjects failed mis-

journed Governor Fielder had come out
with the most prestige and his friends
were happy. not that he had brought
about the passage OF a real jury reform
bill. but that he had successfully out
iockeyed Mayor Wittpenn. Mr.. Fielder
succeeded I'm introducing and passing a
Jury bill OF his own making. II wasn't
much of q measure. because Il took away
considerable OF the power now held by
the courts, such as. for instance. the Sc

 l Sonu of the states are more ab,. t'ntn others to suitably, according to 'heir Mstes. establish the Lincoln h,pb.
 way Our funds will be devoted intel lisently to the work. In some sections lwhere population is scarce, we must bear the greater burden. In no case will aid be given except for a perman. ently constructed highway according to our standard specifications, and an absolute agreement as, to permanent maintenance so far as that is possfble Is a main point in our negotiations.
 This highway now exists, but no one has studied the possibilities of se- l'cting and hitching together state work and county work from New York to San Francisco. Indeed, believe that before such substantial nucleus ns MT. Fisher of Indianapolis created. could not have been done. But added 10 his work came the incorporation of Inc Lincoln highway association here i'll Detroit. and the financial support of contributors to the work; in addition, the people of the various states them selves have reached their present state "f good roads advocacy, without all of which it could not have been worked ont at all.
 We do not take any particular credit |" ourselves or to our Lincoln highway association. Our association has simp- ly taken advantage of the national de- cvlopment of the public's appreciation ol what good roads mean.
 If the roads are dry from Detroit 10 san Francisco. for instance, the worst roads Il tourist will encounter are from l!lkhhrt Travel from Detroit directly south io Toledo to intersect the good reads system of Ohio is impossible. There is no real road us yet from De. trolt tU Ohio points, but work is pro- .srcsslng.
 Tho same condition exists in every state t"dny and it has been the study of these conditions and the linking to- gcthcr of road plans in different states and various counties all across the country, and drawing into one birdseye view all the work of the highway pro noting associations, also q study of the topography conditions. that the Lincoln memorial highway has be come an actuality.
