FIELDER GRADE CROSSING BILL PASSED IN SENATE Zisgen Explains His Attitude on Water Commission Appointment and Denies Desire to Push Out Candidates for County Counsel. (Special to the Evening Record.) Trenton, Feb.

Assembly gave Governor Wilson a stiff jolt yesterday afternoon on the Zisgen jury reform bill, when it refuse.l to take the measure up for second reading. When the Assemblymen voted against advancing the bill they knew it was the remaining reform measure which Governor Wilson desired to pass this week before he leaves the office of Governor. They knew, too, that the state platforms of both parties last fall declared for jury reform. As the matter now stands, it is doubtful if the hill 'will be considered before March 10, when the Assembly will reconvene after the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson as President. After this action had been taken in the Assembly Governor Wilson expressed his opinion of it without mincing words.

In emphatic terms he charged that the opposition to jury reform legislation came from those who wished to control the grand juries of the state in order to break the laws. Governor Wilson was plainly angry at what had taken place in the Assembly. The Governor was asked where the opposition to the jury reform came from. Like a shot out of a gun he replied: "It comes from those who wish to control the grand juries of the state. recante they desire to break the jaw." It had been rumored during the jate afternoon that the Governor would go 1L10 Hudson county and make a on the opposition to the Zisgen bill.

In fact one or two persons close to the Governor stated that the Governor was considering such action. "Are you going to make any public speeches in Hudson county on the situation?" he was asked. He replied: "I shouldn't be surprised. I don't have to do it at once. I can do it as President of the United States." Fielder Bill Passes (Special to the Evening Record.) Trenton, Feb.

of the Democrat's administration measures passed the Senate yesterday when the Grade Crossing bill introduced by President Fielder was brought up on third reading. The consideration of the bill developed quite a debate as to its merits and demerits. in which Senator Pierce of Union county was arrayed against the Senate's head. Senator Pierce made an effort to Senate bill No. 31 substitut.

ed in its entirety for the Fielder He urged that the provisions of his bill, especially the clause stipulating the plan of elimination, were far better than those of the Fielder bill which he claimed would work a hard. ship upon the railroad companies.

Zisgen of Ramsey, today made these comments in regard to his recent candidacy for the State Water Supply Commission- a plum whica former Assemblyman Charles A.

Meyer of Sussex landed: The impression has gone forth in some quarters that I was desirous of occupying several positions at one and the same time. I thought it was generally known that I was a candidate for State Water Supply Commissioner last year and again this year and that being such candidate requested the new Board of Freeholderg of Bergen county by letter not to turther consider my name in connection with the County Counselship when that matter came before them. However the Board unanimously after County Counsel Luther Campbell had signifled that he did not. desire the cilice requested me to act as its counBel with the understanding that if appointed as State Water (Continued on Page Two.)

son, Declared by Superintendent Bratt. 53 YOUNGSTERS NOW UNDER SUPERVISION Of These Only Twenty Are in the Home, Eight Being From Hackensack Seven Applications Are Now Under Consideration. The report made yesterday by Jaines Bratt, superintendent of the Children's Aid Society on the condition of the county home under his charge details much that is interestIng to Bergenites. Fifty-three children are in charge, though the majority are with their mothers. Supt.

Pratt tells how this plan works out. His report reads: "We have at the present time fiftythree county children in our charge, thirty-one of whom are boarding with their own mothers. This plan, as some of you are aware, was adopted by your committee about three years ago and has worked very satisfactorily. It began in the following way: Left With Mother. "A citizen of one of the townships became demente.

and had to be removed to Morris Plains, leaving a wife and six children behind him. Application was made through the Overseer of the Poor for the admission of the six children into the Home. We waited upon this poor woman and discovered that she would be able to care for her six children at home if she received $27 per month. We had three committed to us, at the same time leaving them with their mother 01:4 paying her for the board of the three, thus saving the county $27 per month. This arrangement has been followed ever since, where the mother is a fit person to leave -the children with, and where a saving would be effected.

The plan has since been dopted in other parts of this state we are told, in New York. 20 Home Inmates. "In addition to the fifty-three councharges we have at the present thne, twenty Home charges, as follows: Hackensack, Teaneck, Park Ridge, East Rutherford, Ridgewood, Oakland, 1 Dumont, 1: Cliffside, 1: Bogota, Tenafly, for whom the Society receive no board whatsoever, consequently we are compelled to make frequent calls upon our friends to help toward the maintenance of the Home. The general impression abroad is that the county appropriates, through the Freeholders, $6,500 per year, toward the maintenance of the Home, whereas the amount is simply for the board of the indigents. Solicitations Hampered.

"If in your budget it were stipulated, 'amount for board of indigent it would correct an error SO difficult to explain to our friends when soliciting aid on behalf of the Home charges and maintenance fund. "I may add that we have applications at the present time for admission of seven more children: three from Garfield, one Sad lle River, one Ridgewood, one Carlstadt, and one Dumont. Our free board list has been supplied and if the applications increase your appropriation may fall short." SEVERAL REASONS WHY STRIKERS WENT TO PATERSON It was well nigh impossible to learn just why the employes of the local silk mill found it necessary to visit luterson yesterday. In the Silk City several thousand weavers went out cn strike because of the Introduction of labor-saving machinery, but the local weavers have no grievance with Schwarzenbach Huber Company, it being what is known as a sympathy strike. We are just going over to see the fun." said one silk weaver as he stood waiting for a Hudson River trolley car for this morning.

"We were asked to come over and help swell the crowd," sail another. "No, sir, we are not working but we didn't go out on strike," gaid a third. The Hackensack police are keeping their eyes open for any unusual development in the local situation. BERGEN COMMUTERS HELD UP WHEN ENGINE HOPS TRACK The locomotive on the Chicago limited jumped the track in the Erie yards at Jersey City yesterday afternoon and as a consequence many of the commuter trains were delayed for an hour op so.

GOVERNOR WILSON'S TRIBUTE TO FIELDER the Governor's Message, Jan, 14, May I not, in closing, express the satisfaction 1 feel in the knowledge that when I lay down the duties of governor I shall leave them in the hands of Senator Fielder, a man of proved character, capacity, fidelity and devotion to the pablle service, a man of type to which the people of the state desire their public men to conform? I look back with the greatest admiration to that fine group of men to the houses whose names all the state knows and honors, who set the pace in the days when the state was to be redeemed.

It in men like these who have rendered the policies and reforms of the last two years possible. It is men like these who will carry them forward, and the people of the state will sustain them. They will sustain no others. Woe betide Individuals or the party groups that turn away from that path! The future is with those who serve, and who serve without secret or selfish purpose. A free people has come to know its own mind and Its own friends.
