(Special To The Press) TRENTON, Feb. 23 Republican leaders have expedited their program for changes In the state constitution by the final legislative steps pre llmlnary to submission of the amend, ments to the electorate at a special election probably in July. The senate yesterday adopted the House Powell resolution for election of the governor co-Incident with the president of the United States, for a four instead of a three year term.

Democrats Senators Cole of Sussex and Carhart of Warren voted in the negative. Demo cratic Senate Leader Simpson of Jersey City and Senator Agans, Democrat, of Hunterdon, were not present when the vote was taken. Governor Moore has denounced the program to confuse state with national elections. He will urge the electorate to reject the amendment to the State Constitution. The Repub lican legislative leaders have been Influenced by the argument that their chances of capturing the governorship will be enhanced by voting for the governor at the same time the president is elected.

The resolution also proposes a four- year term for state senators, two-year terms for assemblyman and bi-ennial legislative sessions, Ainng with term -extender, a resolution was approved finally for submission of future constitutional changes at a general, rather than a special election. Another constitutional change to be passed on to the voters is to provide that common pleas court judges, when nominated for vacancies due to unexpired terms, shall be named for partial instead of full-terms.

Senator Case of Somerset, reiterat ed his protests against the measure as removing one of the safeguards surrounding the procedure in the dissolution of the marriage contract. "The severance of martial relations should not become an automat In which you drop a nickel and out pops a divorce," Case said. He declared that six months after a preliminary decree is granted is not too long to wait before entering Into another ma trimonial alliance. Senator Wolber of Essex voted for the bill, declaring that the resident Newark vice chancellor favored the bill. He saw an advantage in some Instances to the shortening of the final decree time.

Senator Williams declared that in cases like the "Daddy" Browning suit, wher a husband is subjected to the machinations of a scheming spouse, and vtca versa, the expedition of a final decree is meritorious.

toditnt VOTED BY SENA SOFT COAL STRIKE ISNOWTHREATENED Miami Conference Breaks Down Lewis Blames Mine Operators. BUT HOLDS HOPE FOR ADDITIONAL PARLEYS MIAMI, Feb. 23 W. The question of a new wage agreement for the organized central bituminous coal fields was just as much unsettled today as ever, following the close of the joint wage conference after its failure to agree on a working contract to replace the Jacksonville draft of 1924. Neither side has receded from its demands, voiced on the opening of negotiations here on Feb.

14, but both sides declared thru their spokesman that they were ready and willing to resume negotiations if anything can be done to reconcile the divergent views. The collapse of the Miami negotiations came when the Joint conference accepted the disagreement report of Its subcommittss and voted to adjourn sine die. Whether steps will be taken to reopen the negotiations has not been disclosed. Many of the operator conferees were leaving for their homes. Tho miners will remain here for a session tomorrow of the policy committee of the United Mine Work ers of America.

Up to Policy Committee The policy committee will hear the report of the miner members of the subcommittee and may Indicate the next procedure of tho organization. Many conferees took the position flint mispmslnn or strike in the union soft coal fields was inevitable, since they saw no solution of the wage question before March 1, when the Jacksonville working agreement will expire. Before the report of tho subcommittee was put to a vote leaders for to includo the commission specified in their proposal. Before tho report of the subconi-miteee was put to a vote leaders for both sides expressed regret that the conference has not been able to reach an agreement. Both declared that the obligations of the industry to the 'American people hacl been duly con sidered in the deliberations.

President Lewis was first to speak. "I cannot believe this conference will mark tho end of all efforts to prevent chaotic conditions in the industry after April 1," he declared, "after referring to tho failure of the subcommittee to find a common ground on which the conference might act. Tho mine workers want no strike or suspension," he said. "Neither do we believe that the American people will condone a strike In the industry. "The mine workers will vote to accept the disagreement report of the i subcommittee, not because they de sire to do so, but because they have no alternative." Blames Operators Lewis then charged the operators, particularly those of Ohio and Pennsylvania, with having come to the conference in an arbitrary mood toward the drafting of a new wage contract.

The mine leader declared that the miners were duly appreciative of the obligations which "evolve upon the American people. "We are prepared to remain here today to definitely continue the discussions," (Continued on Page Two) DOGS ARE FOUND GUILTY OF CONTEMPT OF COURT JERSEY CITY, Feb. 23.

(Special To The Press) TRENTON, Feb. 23. Indications today were that there would be no investigation by the legislature of the state police department, despite the introduction of a bill to that effect by Assemblyman Horace G. Prall, of Hunterdon county, where the troopers shot up tfie Meaney homestead, resulting in the killing of a woman member of the family. Mr.

Prall in troduced the measure late yesterday before the lawmakers went home for the week. In it he recited that "there have been reports of drunkenness, extortion and other offenses committed by tho state police and whereas the great masses of the people of our state are entitled to the ruliest measure and tho most complete amount of protection that can be had; and whereas tho deplorable affair nt Jutland in Hunterdon county has again called tho matter to the attention of the public, and whereas the legislature is endowed with full power to investigate conditions and suggest remedies, therefore be it "Resolved that a commission con slsting of three senators to be named by the president of tho senate and three members of the house of as sembly to be named by the speaker are hereby constituted a 'commission for the purpose of making a full and complete investigation of the depart ment of state police with relation to the methods, personnel and organiza tion of the Eaid department. AHho Prall is a Republican mem bcr, it is not understood that the ma jority in tho legislature will make Ills resolution a party measure. Gov ernor Moore has not indicated that lie favored any probe of the etate police and the recent reorganization of that department by its command ing officers has in a measure satis-lied any demand for an investigation. Trail comes from the county in which is located Jutland, where the Meaney farm Is located and where the sent! ment against the troopers has been very strong since tho shooting affray.

It is thought that the resolution for the probe was introduced in response to that feeling. Miss Beatrice Meaney was shot to death by the gun-fire and 14 members of the etate police stand liable for indictment by the Hunterdon county grand jury either for the murder or as accessories, as a result. S. P. C.

A. Act Revision Mr. Prall also introduced a bill -which would take from S. P. C.

A.jl agents or, others informing against persons found guilty of cruelty to animals the fine collected as the result of conviction for this offense and give the money to the treasury of the municipality where the offense was committed. S. P. C. A.

agents were with the state police when the latter visited the Meaney farm in Hunterdon county, the agents having a complaint to serve against the family for alleged mistreatment of farm animals. The now famous "Battlo of Jutland" resulted. The agents are aleo liable to indictment by the Hunterdon grand Jury as a result of the episode. The time limit for the introduction of bills was reached in the legislature this week and there are some 700 measures in both branches. Of this number 439 have been presented in the house and 259 in tho senate.

From now on no new measures may bo introduced, except by unanimous consent. This, however, will not apply to the appropriation bill. Attention of the lawmakers during the next month will be directed toward the consideration of the bills Introduced. Sennto Republican Leader Stevens, Monmouth, said this week that active work would likely be continued thru to March 15 and then thcro would bo a recess to permit Governor Mooro to pass on the bills, with the senate and house returning for the week beginning March 2t to pas Upon the final measures and vetoes of tho chief executive. Republican State Chlarman Stokes will have tho authority to dictate to Chancelor Walker whom tho latter shall appoint its the Republican Jury commissioners for Hudson and Essex counties If the bill which passed the assembly yesterday becomes a law.

It was introduced by Mr. Chandless, of Borgen county, and requires that In these two first class counties the chancelor must accept the recommendations of the respective Republican and Democratic state chairmen In making the appointments. Now the chancelor, under the Jury reform legislation of 1913, can select whom he wishes for these posts. It (Continued on page 17) High School Girls.

OP) 40 year mystery surrounding the disappearance of Archduke Johann of Austria was believed on the the verge of solution here today in possible Identification of the missing nobleman as John Orth who died here in 1924. Orth, shortly before Ills death told Mrs. Charlotte Falrchlld of this city, that he had sent a letter to the Vatican at Rome, containing an authoritative account of the unexplained fatal shooting of Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria at the royal shooting box at Meyerllng. The letter was not to be opened, he said, until Feb. 23, 1927, the day he had previously set for a meeting with Mrs.

Falrchlld and three unidentified men. Mrs. Falrchlld said she believed that private papers and photographs from England, expected with the letter, would reveal Orth as Archduke Johann.

The state chairman, replied, taking the attitude, in general, that he was doing he best he could and that no power existed to change the situation whereby New Jersey elects a Republican president and a Democratic governor at the same election. Patterson's second letter lays down a definite program for uniting the party and for settling four major causes of friction within it, namely, the primary-convention squabble, factional strife and corruption In various counties, the present campaign for the 1928 senatorial nomin ation, and the "wet" and "dry" issue.
