Special New Jersey Session
TRENTON, N. J., May •.—Pur-
suant to the call of Governor Field-
er the New Jersey legislature con-
vened in special session today to
take up the subjects of jury reform
to
and the calling of a convention
revise” the constitution. Suggestion
is also made in the governor's call
that the legislature should pussa
valid enactment ratifying the DODD,
lar vo' 3 in adopting the provisions of
a small freeholder board net in sev-
oral of the counties. 3
The principal subject to be con-
sidered by the lawmakers is the
question of having commissioners,
appointed by the, courts, select
grand jurors instead of the sheriffs.
A bill with this in view failed to
pass the Legislature at its regular ses-
alone which adjourned April 4, de-
spite the efforte of. President Wil-
son and Governor Feilder to have
such a law enacted. Since the call
for the special session both the pres-
ident and the governor have deliver-
ed public address strongly urging the
people to support the propoeed fe-
form of the jury system. The oppo-
nents of the president in hle- own
party are expected to renew their
attempts to block any legislation di-
vesting sheriffs of their power to
summon juries.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6.-
An overwhelming Democrat majori-

to free wool, free neats and other
necessities, and passed on to the
consideration of the hundred mil-

the bill as approved by the Ways

BURNING OF BUILDINGS AND MI-

MANY VOTES TO THE
CAUSE 1
By Associated Press
LONDON, May 6.—The fate of the
woman’s suffrage bill was sealed to-
night by the vote of more than fifty
Irish Nationalists who voted against
it. The bill, wereby it was sought
to enfranchise six million women
was rejected by a majority of forty-
seven. The vote stood 268 to 219.
Whether there is any chance that the
present parliment will pass a bill or
more limited character is doubted.
Probably the nationalists fear that
if the woman suffrage bill is allow-
ed to pass to a second reading, it
might lead to struggles which would
end in the dissolution of parliament
before 'the home rule bill becomes
a law.
The debate today proved that the
militant policy of suffragettes has
