NEW LAW PROVIDES
FOR TRIALBY JURY
New Jersey Prohibition Lead
ers Will Introduce Another
Dry Measure.

No further attempt will be made by
the New Jersey prohibition leaders to
eliminate trial by jury from the State
prohibition act which is to be introduced
to take the place OF the State enforce
ment act which was declared uncon-
stitutional by the courts. The new
measure will be introduced by the Re-
publican leaders tomorrow night. II
will provide for trial by jury and will
eliminate many of the Objectionable fea-
lures Of the rejected Van Ness act.
The new measure was agreed upon al
a conference held in Newark yesterday,
which was attended by Majority Leader
William w. Evans of Passaic. Assistant
Prosecutor Vickers Of Hudson county,
Assemblyman George Hobart of Essex
county, Prosecutor Charles Wolverton
OF Camden. w. L. Mott of Essex
county ana C. Rowland Muntoe. coun-
sci for the Anti-Saloon League.
The new measure Will class violations
OF the enforcement legislation as mis-
demeanors instead of disorderly acts.
Prosecution will require indictment by
Grand Jury and trial before petit jury
and County Court. The penalties are
similar to those provided in the Van
Ness act. maximum of $500 fine or
six months imprisonment. or both. for
first offenses, and fine of N.0oo or
two years Imprisonment. or both. for
second offenders.
Majority Leader Evans said last
night: THE decision Of the Cot of
Errors and Appeals in setting aside the
Van Ness act makes it imperative that
the Republican majority shall pass ade-
auate enforcement legislation. which
will accord. as nearly as can be deter
mined. with the several opinions ex-
pressed BY the various members of the
court"
The action taken by the conference
In Newark just about wrecked any
vague hopes that the Jersey vets
might have entertained that the Repub-
lican politicians would be content TO lei
the situation drag along. without any
State enforcement, until it could be de-
ternined If there has been change In
public opinion.
IT was predicted. however. that unit
the new measure can be passed there

JOHN D. JR. CALLED
CAUTIOUS LANDLORD
Arbitrary and Changeable, AS
serts Tenant, Defendant
in Suit.
DISPUTE OVER SUITCASE
Architect Let Out Part Of
Floor, Claiming Lease Gave
the Right.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr.. was de-
stribed as an arbitrary and capricious
land.>rd yesterday in an answer filed in
the Supreme Court to a suit begun a
month ago against Frederick p. and
Charles C. Plat, architects, at $50 Fifth
avenue.
The firm leased the fourth floor OF
the building from him in 1919 at $4,000
q. year and insist in their answer that
their lease contained a provision giving
them the right to sublet any or all OF
their floor. provided~only that the class
OF tenants they brought in did not in
crease the fire hazard. They had not
needed the entire floor for themselves
when they took their own lease. but
hired It all in order to be sure Of the
best lighting it afforded for their par
ticular necessities as architects.
Ultimately they leased pieces of their
floor to Royal Scott Golden, real es-
tate broker; to George b. Menassian, a
rug expert. and Crooke G. Macconnel
Inc. Their subleases, they declare, con-
tanned especial provisions about the fire
risk, but after their subtenants were
about to enter into possession Mr.
Rockefeller put his foot down.
He would not consent to any sub
leasing, they declare, and they describe
I'M conduct. attitude or frame of mind
in so declaring himself as arbitrary and
capricious and not in spirit with his sig
nature at the bottom of their lease and
the clauses and covenants therein. Then
they refused to pay. any more rent and
last December he sued them, demanding
$4,000, or "a quarter in advance, of their
whole rent as nominated and set forth in
the lease.
Their answer makes counter claim OF
S2.e45, which sum, they say, they lost
through his not permitting them to di-
vide their overhead with the subtenants
They wish the sum set off against the
rent he has sued for rftffH .r

CRIMINAL TO IGNORE
COMPENSATION ACT
Employer Convicted Of Misde-
meanor in Test of State
Law.

Business men who fail to secure CONF
pensation for their employees under the
Workmen's Compensation law are liable
to years Imprisonment. a fine of $500
or both, according % a decision handed
down last week by the Court OF APP
peals in the case OF the People VS.. Dom
nelly. 1t Is now finally established that
failure 10 secure compensation is a mis-
demeanor and not merely basis for a
damage suit.
The decision constitutes a victory for
the appeals bureau of the Kings county
District Attorneys office. The case was
argued by Harry G.. Anderson of Ander-
son, Phillips & Moss. temporarily in
charge of the appeals bureau in the alb
sence Of Assistant District Attorney
Ralph E. Hemstreet.
Mr.. Anderson pointed out in his brief
that the workn,en's compensation law. as
originally enacted in 1914. merely per-
mitted an employee TO maintain an &C
ton for damages. at the same time de-
prving the employer in such suit of
his common law defenses, but that in
1916 the Legislature amended the law,
designating any violation as a misde-
meanor.
The opposing counsel argued that the
Legislature did not intend 10 make the
offense a misdemeanor punishable by
fine or Imprisonment, but merely TO
specify further and denounce the act.
The litigation began when Albert f..
Donnerly, 1106 Prospect avenue, Brook
lyn, was charged by Frank Keightley.
2524 Snyder avenue, Brooklyn, with

persaton to Keightley for injuries sus-

HALF OF ESTATE
FOR mrs. PAGAN
Court Decision Awards About
100000 to Granddaughter
of Calvin Stevens.

estate of her grandfather IL various
appellate courts do not overturn a de-
cis.on handed down yesterday by JUS
tice Donnelly in the Supreme Court. Her
share will be in excess OF $4,000. it
was said.
Justice Donnelly's decision makes dis
position OF an action brought in the
Supreme Court last August by Mrs.
Nary Grace Richardson. a sister of Cal
vim Amory Stevens. asking for a con-
strrction OF clause in their fathers
will which provided that the shares of
his children go to their children If they
had any. She maintained that the clause
making this provision was ambiguous
and that under the rule OF law which
discourages perpetuities and favors the
vesting OF property whenever possible
she became vested with her brothers
share at his death
Justice Donnelly ruled that the Ian
suage of the clause was clear and with
out ambiguity and not within the stat
ute against perpetuities. THE inapllca-
ton of further subdivisions IL any child
sfould die without issue is not justi-
fled ne said, and direct the entry
OF an interlocutory judgment SO con-
STRUNG the will"
The decision awards half of Calvin
Stevens's fortune to his granddaughter
Kate Stevens Pagan. who il now 10
years old. and therefore cannot be given
control of her inheritance for two
years. Last April. just after her faith
er's death, she eloped with Richard
