Republican legislative leaders today are disposed to advance for passage the proposed constitutional amendments for a lour year term for governor and state senators, two year terms for assemblyman, biennial sessions of the legislature, submission of con-stitutional changes annually instead of once in five years and a second proposal for coning legislation.

The several constitutional changes were discussed by the Republican senator and house Republican leaders. The legislature last week passed a proposed constitutional change for municipalities to adopt coning ordinances to legalize residence cones. Senator Mackay of Bergen offered the Senator Harrison of Essex, it is known, has been collaborating with Charles R. Hardin of Newark and other lawyers representing the state league of municipalities on coning. The amendment, supple-mentias the change for residential districts, is advanced with the idea that lbs electorate shall have-n opportunity to favor the Mackay plan extending to municipalities wide rnnt to create residential districts or the latest suggestion for modified zoning with creation of industrial, commercial, residential one family zones and segregation of districts for dwellings for two and more families.

PEACEATPASSA1C Ask Mill Owners to Meet Workers For Settlement. FIVE ARRESTED AFTER GERA MILL FIGHTING PASSAIC. March W) Two announcements brought encouragement to the striking textile workers today. One was that the American Legion, thru Gerald V. Carroll Post 161, would seek to persuade the mill owners to meet them.

The other was that the New Jersey state senate had passed a bill to permit "peaceful picketing." Pickets on duty at the Cera mill in Passaic yesterday afternoon engaged in a fight with mill employes who were on their way home from work. Police were called to restore peace and arrested five men, who were released in 500 ball each. Jack Rubenstein, aide to Albert Weisbord of the United Front committee, has been Indicted on a charge ot attacking County Prison Keeper Hubert Lefevre last Thursday when he was incarcerated on a chargo of lisorderly conduct. Rubenstein has ieen arrested twice on the same -harge In connection with picketing. Ve Is on ball.

At a meeting of the strikers yes-terday, Commander John F. McCarthy of Carroll Post, American Lesion, presented an American flag to Weisbord with the request that it be hung on the wall. The strike leader accepted the flag. The Legion's spokesman said his or-ganization took no stand on the merits of the strike, other than insistence on American principles. Weisbord read a message of sympathy from the Russian textile workers union of Moscow.

Several hundred employes of the Garfield Manufacturing company, makers ot electrical appliances, went on trlke for a 25 percent Increase in wages, $30 a week during a vacation pertod and better sanitary conditions. Weisbord said the United Front committee would help them. PLUS ULTRA MEDAL FOR ROCKEFELER, JR. MADRID, March 24. (l John D.

In the heat of the controversy, I attacked the Republican machine for whajt I conceived to be an attack on the public school system, but this was an attack on those political forces in the Republican party which- did not raise a hand to help the teachers. -'I never attributed to Governor Stokes personally anything but the highest regard for the public school system.

My attack was aimed at a political system and not Governor Stokes personally, than whoi the public school system has no more courageous defender and few so able." MURDER OF GIRL Verdict In First Degree Re turned Against Blind Prisoner. DELIBERATE FIVE HOURS; SENTENCE ON MONDAY NEW YORK, March 24. W) Harry W. Cowan, middle-aged hotel clerk and absconder, blind from a self in: fllcted bullet wound, today faces death In the electric chair for the murder of Edith Burton last Decern ber. Hewas found guilty of first degree murder' by a Kings county Jury last night after five hours deliberation, He well be sentenced Monday to death, the only penalty for flrst de gree murder provided by New' York statutes.

The Jury found Cowan guilty of shooting Miss Burton to death be cause she planned to break her friendship with him to State Senator Arthur B. Lewis oC Utah, her elderly admirer. Cowan maintained that Miss Burton killed herself as a result of a sulcido pact with him to end their relations. The convicted man, who Is separ ated from his wife, fired a bullet into his head shortly after Miss Burton's death. He succeeded only In de stroying his sight.

Mr. final witness for the state, testified that only a few days before Miss Burton's death he had instructed his lawyers to institute divorce proceedings so that he might be free to marry her. Letters from Cowan to dead woman and to Mr. Lewis were Introduced to prove he was Jealous of his 6j year old rival. Cowan's troubles began In 1923 when he absconded with $12,000 from a New York hotel, where Miss Burton also was employed as a stenographer.

Cowan's wife, who left him, after his embezzlement, said he confessed to giving $6,000 of the money to "a girl who was blackmailing him." Blackmail again entered the case with the introduction of an unmalled letter from Cowan to Mr. in which the convicted man referred to Miss Burton as "my common-law The letter warned the former state senator that the girl was plotting to marry him obtain possession of his fortune and then poison him so that she might use his money to extricate Cowan from his financial difficulties. Mr. Lewis disappeared from his New York hotel immediately after Miss Burton's murder, but later returned and agreed to testify. He denied at first that he and Miss Burton had any but platonlo Interests.

A portion ot the detente was based on Cowan's testimony that he and Miss Burton had been drinking before the shooting occurred, but In his charge to the Jury, the court asserted that voluntary drunkenness was no excuse for crime. Cowan explained the letter to Mr. Lewis ss a Joke In which Mlts Burton herself participated. Shortly after getting the case, the Jury returned to the courtroom to ask If a recommendation for mercy would be legal, were told It would carry no legal weight if verdict ot first degree murder were returned, but that it it were made, the court might then make a plea to the governor for clemency. No recommendation was made when the verdict was returned.

Any troops desiring to pur-case these sets, write in to the county office. SCOUTMASTERSHIP NOTES It seemed to be the thought of sev eral of the scoutmasters thruout the county, In reference to the letter sent out recently, hi whlchwoejwle" a copy of the Scoutmastershlp Notes, that we were advocating a corres pondence course of Columbia university for $12. Such is not the case. We do, how ever, feel that this course offered by Columbia university would be well worth while and would perhaps not ood return, we were particularly advocating and recommending that the.

scoutmasters subscribe for Scoutmaster-ship Notes. This magazine is mailed from Columbia, university for a dollar a year. But they have given the council the rate of 85 cents a year If we coufd find 20 or more that were willing to take the magazine. If you are Interested and want to subscribe, will you send in your name, address, and 83 cents to the tounty office and we will forward your name to Columbia university and you will receive a copy of the magazine every month for a year. TROOP ACTIVITIES Troop 7, Atbury Park In view of the absence of both assistant scoutmasters, the activities of the evening were conducted by the scoutmaster, assisted by the Eagle scouts.

Assembly, blown by Bugler Ttllan Wood, brought the patrols into for mation and following roll call and collecting ot dues by patrol leaders, the troop was lined up for opening exercises. Oath, laws and flag salute were repeated, following which the merit badges granted at the March Court of Honor were distributed by the scoutmaster. Announcement was made that the fire by friction contest would be postponed to the next meeting. The troop was informed that, at the patrol leaders' meeting, held at Kenneth Smith's home in Avon on March- 6, decision' had been reached to hold a benefit at the Palace theatre, Brad-Icy Beach, on April 12. Many prizes will be awarded to ambitious seouU who rell tickets and secure advertising for the announcement.

The scoutmaster then talked for a few minutes oh the following sin of "Getting Sore." He pointed out that the fellow who constantly carried a chip on his shoulder was never popular and that it wos character-destroying to pet "sore" on slight, provocation and carry a "grouch" over something that had been said or done with' no thouRht of Riving offense. Emphasizing the eighth scout law, ho suggested to the scouts of troop 7 that they try and cultivate a cheerful spirit, which attitude towards life would make them sought after by others; give tlem -a keener enjoyment In living and prolong their years, This latter statement he verified by citing medical authorities who asserted that mental attitude has much to do with good health longevity. At this meeting, the annual and bird and house contest was announced three prizes were offered for best houses built between now the and the second Friday In April. The exercises concluded with a prayer, and, upon the word of command, the troop then fell Into mass formation for calisthenics. During this feature the whistle game was played with splendid results.

The troop was then divided Into three knot teams, and after an exciting contest, the Turtle and Wolf patrols were awarded 60 points each having made the best showing. An exciting session of "You're It" followed and at the conclusion of this game, "taps" were sounded and the scout benediction repeated by the whole troop brought the meeting to a close. Scoutmaster HENRY BAYLIS, Jr. Troop 11, Rumten At the meeting of March 12 Troop 11 had a very full meeting. Follow Ing the business routine, tenderfoot and flrst class badges were presented to several scouts.

Among those who received merit badges wst Assistant Scoutmaster Charlee Wlssert. Mi. Wissert at the AUantlc Highland Court received Ave merit badges. Hurrah for Mr. Wlssert! Several other tcouts of troop 11 received merit badges, After the customary song period, the whole troop practised signaling.

During the course of the evening several flrst class tests were passed. The meeting closed with scout oath and laws. Troop 11 s'galn promises that they will have scouts appear for advancement from tenderfoot to second clas and from second class to flrst class and merit badge work, at the next Atlantic Highlands Court of Honor.
