Two changes have been formulated
which it is believed will make the re-
port of the judiciary committee more
acceptable to a majority of the con-
vention when it is taken up again for
revision. One will provide that the
rules formulated by the proposed ju-
dicial council may be vetoed by the
legislature if, not acceptable to that
body and the council may then formu-
late other rules to meet the objections.
The other leaves the justice of the
peace courts as they are, but gives the
Legislature power to abolish them if
desired. The judiciary report will be
called up again after the legislative
and suffrage and elections committee
reports are passed upon.
A state board of education of six
members, not more than three of
whom are to be from one political par
ty, and this board to elect state su-
perintendent or commissioner of edu-
cation, is provided for in the sub
committee report to the Committee on
Education. The board is to be cleo
tive and the general assembly is to
provide for the method of it's election
and prescribe the length of term and
the per diem compensation. This
board would have general supervision
of the public schools of the state and
report on their condition to the gen.
eral assembly at each session, ,togeth1
er with recommendations for such
changes in the school lawssas, in fts
judgment, will promote the education
al interests of the state, and perform
such other duties as may be prescribed
by law. This state board, besides
electing commissioner of education,
would probably fix his term of office
and compensation, and prescribe his
duties.
Judging from an editorial in one of
the weekly papers, some have an err
roneous idea about when the new con-
stltution is to be voted on by the peo-
pie. This editorial says that if the
convention work is not completed soon
itgcannot be voted on at the fall cleo
ton. The provisions for the consti-
tatipnal convention prescribe that it
shall be voted on only at special
election called explicitly for that pur-
pose and for no other, not less than
sixty days nor more than six months
after, the adjournment of the conven.

The convention as the committee OF
the whole finished the consideration
of the report of the Committee on
Legislation Thursday, all the proposed
amendments to the committee report
having been voted down. 1t is posi-
BILE that other amendments Will be
offered before the convention, but 1t is
not anticipated that any important
changes will be made.
The fact was brought out during
the consideration of the legislative
committee report, referring to the
pensioning of the blind, that there
were now on the list 5,672 persons who
were receiving the $25 per month or
an aggregate of nearly $1,7O0,0Oo an
nually, which was approximately one
half the revenue derived from the
general property tax in the state. 1t
was claimed that other states mad
sent their blind into the state and
that some were receiving aid who dld
not meet the requirements OF the law.
This matter will be taken up later be-
fore the final passage Of the report
by the convention.
An attempt was made to put the
convention on record in favor Of a
general pension system in the state,
providing pensions for all people over
| 10 years of age, the amount being S2O
per month each. 1t was stated that In
| 1910 there were 1902 persons in the
state over IS years of age that would
fall in this class. The amendment
calling for the proposition was voted
down. --..... -. .........t.
The shortest report to be presented
to the convention thus far is that OF
the Committee on Public Health and
Welfare. 1t asks the consideration by
the convention of but one proposition,
known as proposal 1872, which reads
that "The general assembly shall pro-
vide means for the safeguarding and
promotion of the public health and
welfare" The proposal is one of the
best known of the 1929 before the con-
vention, since it was made the subject
of attack by the Christian Scientists
of the state, who claimed that it would
! limit their rights. On the other hand,

from other organizations of the state,
notably public welfare associations,
women's clubs and the American Lee
gion. It was the purpose Of the com
mittee in introducing the proposal to
give constitutional recognition to pub
lie health and welfare and no class
distinction was made in the proposal.
A minority report from the COM
mittee, presented by DR.. Alonzo Tubbs,
provides that 1.-THE general assembly
shall provide means. for the safe
guarding and promotion of the public
health and welfare, by the authorize

statement, "for Gods sake, don't
miss the train" Mr.. Keiser informed
him that he had made. all prepara-
tons and would not miss the 2:56
train. He then asked Mr.. Keiser
whether he had heard Mr.. Doron say
anything about telegraphing some
money. Mr.. Keiser replied, that he
had heard nothing. The man then
said that he should remind Mr.. Doron
to send the money, as he was strand
ed in Newark. The man was then
asked for the third time regarding
the location of the morgue in Wash
ington, with the reply that he could
not think of the name of the estab-
lishment, but that it was five miles
from the central part of the city, and
he knew the location, and would be
able to direct Mr.. Keiser upon their
arrival in Washington.
The man was arrested that night at
~ o'clock by the Newark police, when
he called at the telegraph Office to
secure the money, which he expected
would be sent by DR.. Doron.
When captured he gave his name
as Charles S. Smith, and when being
questioned, confessed that he had
swindled undertakers in Cincinnati
Toledo, Columbus, Reading, and mum.
erous other cities, including the
swindling of S25 from John w. Evans
funeral director of Scranton.
In comparing the stories of Mr.
Evans with Mr.. Doron, it was found
that the same scheme prevailed il
both cases, and Mr.. Evans conclud
! ing that the case was legitimate, sem
the man S25 to cover his expenses.
The police of Newark believe tina
the arrest of this man will lead tt
many more arrests, owing to the fac
that there has been gang operating
this swindle game for some time.
