FOR PROBE
IN JERSEY CITY
Resolution to Act on Regime
of Mayor Frank Hague is
Sent to the Governor.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Feb. 1.-The Mackay
resolution directed at the admins
tration and political regime OF
Mayor Frank Hague in Jersey City
and Hudson county. sailed through
the house of assembly last night
and now goes to governor Edwards,
close friend of the mayor for action.
1t received fifty-six votes in the
House and there was not a voice OF
protest. Assemblyman Runyon the
lone Democrat from Warren, spoke
for it and voted for it.
The second bang of the House al
Mayor Hague came when it passed
by a vote fifty-two to one, the res
olution to repeal the so-called Nc
Ateer act of last year providing for
a special registration day before
commission government elections.
Jersey City is to have a spring
election for commissioners this year
and under the McAleer law every
person who desired to vote at this
election would have to register
specially for the occasion.
The Republicans believe that
many auti-Hague and independent
voters in Jersey City would not take
that trouble and hence the repeater.

DRY FORCES
AMEND BILL
Jurisdiction in Liquor Viola
tons Will Still Rest With
County Judges, is Proposal
By specIal Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Feb. 1.-The Anti
Saloon League forces have decided
to amend the bill which they have
caused to be introduced in the legis-
lature, providing for the enforce
ment of prohibition in New Jersey
so that the jurisdiction over viola
tions will be kept in the Office of
the common pleas judge OF each
county. The original measure pro-
vided for summary hearing before
any police magistrate or recorder
upon the complaint of any individ-
ual who might catch a bootlegger in
action. This gave rise to criticism
and at the hearing held here before
the joint judiciary committee OF the
legislature, Wilbur A. Mott and
George J. Vickers. assistant prose-
cutors of Essex and Hudson coun-
ties, respectively, who are acting as
trainers of the dry" enforcement
bill, they announced the intention
to change the method of Furnishing
the violators.
Another change is the one to
again vest in the county prosecutor
the right to represent the state in
suits brought before the common
pleas judges under this act. 1t has
dist pCCI uCAAdCo ~ sa
plan to give any individual citizen
the right to bring the proceedings,
as provided in the magistrates
court plan, now abandoned. Another
change will be the reduction of the
prison sentence from a year to six
months and there is to be incorpor-
ated in the bill a clause which will
give the defendant a right to appeal
to the supreme court from his con-
viction.
A delegation of men represent
ing the grocery interests appeared
before the joint committee yester-
day and through their counsels,
Messrs. Spaulding Frazer. OF New
ark, and Maxwell Kramer. of Tren-
ton, urged some amendment which
would permit the continuance OF
the extract and flavor manufacture.
Representative of the ~anti-saloon
league in conference with these peo-
pie agreed to an amendment which
would not affect this business.
1.-The bill will not be rushed
through the House." said Republi-
can Floor Leader T. Harry Row.
land, after the hearing before the
Joint committee" but it is not ex-
pected that there will be any more
hearings"
George B. Atwood, of Pompton
Plains, during the hearing, raised
the interesting point that cider. hav-
ing reached fermentation state, in
its transition into vinegar, would
place its owner in the position of
being a violator of the law. IF that
is So" he declared, II want TO ask
IL it is good red-blooded American
law-making."
There will be no provision for
jury trials of boot-leggers. the back
ers of the bill say, because convic-
tons cannot be obtained. In the
opinion of Mr.. Vickers. expressed
after the hearing, the jury reform
law is a Joke.
