SENATE FAILS
TO PASS THE
HOUSE BILLS
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

'PoS'Us 80 tHS q 6HlRt EWS.
Trenton, May 13.-Conferences
of both the Democratic and Repub-
hcan senators were held today on the
jury reform question, with the re-
suit that the Democrats agreed to
support the chancellor bill with the
referendum, passed by the assembly
yesterday afternoon, while the Re-
publicans voted to stand solidly for
the Republican Read bill. This
measure provides for jury commits
sions of two in each county to be ap-
pointed by the circuit court judges.
The two caucuses indicated that un-
less there Is break In one party or
the other the senate will be dead
locked on jury reform and the situa-
tion will be as acute as it was at the
end OF the regular session, with the
two houses failing to agree on prop
osition.
The Hennessy convention bill and
the amended jury bill were received
In the senate and the assembly this
morning. The senate met at IL
O'Clock and Immediately took a re-
cess to permit the two party con-
ferences to be held. 1t was nearly
noon when the confab broke up and
President Johnson raped for bust
ness.
The first measure taken up in the
senate was the Read bill and 1t was
defeated by strict party vote. All
the nine Republicans voted for 1t and
all the ten Democrats including act
ing Governor Fielder, who sat In the
senate as the senator from Hudson
voted against 1t. Senator Read
changed his vote to the negative in
order to move reconsideration later
II another opportunity should pres
ent itself to get the bill through.
The first test vote gave further evil
dence of q deadlock in the senate.
At this juncture consideration of
Jury reform was dropped and the
senate took up the Hennessy consti-
tutional convention bill.
After lively debate the constitu-
tional convention bill was defeated.
1t only got five votes while fourteen
votes were registered against it. This
line up shows that there has been
no change In the sentiment In the
senate on this question and shows
further that there is no hope of
constitutional con ention bill pass
ing senate II 1t provides for popular
representation at the convention.
Notwithstanding the Democratic
party is pledged to a constitutional
convention six Democrats voted
AGAINST the bill. They were Barber
of Warren. Davis of Salem, Martens
of Hunterdon, Ramsay of Middlesex.
Slocum of Monmouth and Wheaton
of Cape May. The Republican sena-
tors who voted against the bill were
Edge of Atlantic. Gaunt of Glou-
cester, Leavitt of Mercer, Nichols of
Cumberland, Pierce Of Union. Read
of Camden. Smalley of Somerset and
White of Burlington.

GREGORY WILL
FILE ANSWER

No answer has been filed yet by
John H. Gregory, of 1877 High street,
to Mrs. Beulah Zimmerman's suit in
the Newark Court of Chancery to set
aside her conveyance to him of
bungalow at the southwest corner OF
Rector street and Woodruff place,
this city, and the case will have to
go over for a week or ten days. Mr..
Gregory hes engaged Attorney Gem
eral Edmund Wilson, of Red Bank,
to defend the action and as the latter
is out of the state, and will be for q
week or so to come. Joseph E. Strick-
er. counsel for Mrs. Zimmerman, has
agreed to an adjournment.
The adjournment is no indication
that the suit Is to go uncontested.
Mr.. Gregory declares that Mrs. Zim-
norman has no specific interest In
the property and never did have. He
declares that she may have had title,
but that 1t was not a true title. He
said today that he would file an
answer to Mrs. Zimmerman's bin and
intends to fight the case to the bitter
end even II 1t cost seventeen times
the value of the property in question.
Mrs. Zimmerman is now living
with her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth
AFFORD, at $50 West 180th street,
New York City. Two weeks ago Mr..
Stricken made application to Vice
Chancellor Stevens for rule to show
cause why Mrs. Ella Gregory, In
whose name the property now stands,
should not be restrained from selling,
mortgaging or In any way cucumber
ing the property, and why receiver
should not be appointed to collect
the $40 month rent from the house.
Mr.. Gregory's answer will come in
on the return of the rule when At
torney General Wilson returns to
New Jersey.
