OFFICIALS STUDY; NEW GUARD LAW Governor Edwards Wins Victory in Controversy Over Reorganization Scheme. BILL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL Judge Advocate General in Washington Studying Question Whether New Jersey Legislature May Act Without Consulting Federal Authorities.-^. Trenton. — It has become authoritatively known, although not officially announced, that the Federal Military Bureau, acting upon the advice of the Judge advocate general of the United States army, has declined fo Approve the provisions of the Powell lfrw of the 1822 legislature, which proposes complete reorganization of the New Jeraey National Guard. This decision by the Militia Bureau comes as a complete vindication of the attitude ussumed toward the bill by Governor Edwards, who held that the measure constituted an attempt to deprive him of some of his authority as commander-in-chief 6f the National Guard and accordingly vetoed 1L The Bepubllcan majority in the legislature, however, passed it oTer his veto. Introduction of the bill by Assemblyman Powell of Burlington, a tornier aervice man. was an outcome of the controversy that developed in tlie guard following the elevation of Howard S. Borden of Oceanic to the rank of brigadier general In command of the state's brigade of Infantry. Borden was opposed by many of the guard officers who were ln_|he federal service during the war on the' ground .that he was not fitted for the* post. The hill provided for the retirement dt Borden and other officers whom he bad placed In positions of Importance and also for the restoration of tire headquarters or the various units to those municipalities In which" they were orig- , lnally located. Governor Edwards bad Issued orders providing for the removal of the headquarters of some of the 8outh Jersey unite to cities In the northern part of the state. The Powell law re-established headquarters of the One Hundred and Fourteenth Infantry Regiment, made up entirely of South Jersey guardsmen, In Camtjen, and retained the headquarters of the One Hundred and Thirteenth Regiment In Newark. At the time of the bill's passage the governor, in his veto message, questioned Its constitutionality, claiming that the legislature could not Interfere with the designation of existing military units because the guard is federalized and considered the first line of detense. The Powell law became effective Immediately upon passage February 1. It specified that It should not become •^operative" until the consent of the President of the United States had been obtained. The Issue was referred by the Militia Bureau to the judge advocate general for Interpretation .if the constitutional questions Involved. The formal opinion has not been received by Governor Edwards, although its contents, withholding approval, are known. Whether the governor, as command-•r-in-cbief, will request the Militia Bureau to re-allot units on the basis existing before the Borden controversy Is not known. If such a request is not made, the annual encampment at sea , Girt this summer will witness the One Hundred and Thirteenth and One Handled and Fourteenth Infantries c ing Into camp as constituted at present. State Doctors Confer New Jeragy'-pUyslrlan- are preparing . to take an active part In putting into < operation the new medical amendment ; to the Workmen's JL'omjwnsation Luw, , which wdS enacted at the last sesloa of the legislature. One of the first ] steps has been the calling together of j representatives of the various county - medical societies far a conference to tllscuas various phases of the art. . The call for this conference has been sent, out by Dr. Wells P. Eagleton of ' Newark, chairman of the Welfare Com- ' mlttee of the Medical Society of New Jersey and the committee which drafted the medical -amendment to the Workmen'i Compensation Law. One of ' the chief subjects of the conference * will be a discussion of % schedule of medical fees to be charged In com- ' peasatlon case*. Dr. Bagieton's committee and the officials of the State j Medical Society are anxious to safe- ' guard the public, employers and In- ' sura nee carriers from being over- J charged for either medical or hospital aervice There will be a minimum and * maximum fee for each Item. * At the Invitation of Dr. Eagleton. there was a conference In Newark bt- J tween the physicians of the Welfare 1 Committee, Insurance carriers, manu- 5 facturers. state commissioner of labor * tmti the compensation referees. Interpretations of the law were had. All agreed that It would work to better 1 satisfaction to physicians, workmen J and employers than the old act. Quick notification of treatment of Industrial cases, simplified report forms and the fixing of tees were considered the main c The -medical amendment to the t Workmen's Compensation Law, which } was the only change made to the act p by the legislature last winter, will l: become effective July 4. It provides b tor unlimited treatment for the In- a jnred workman and assures the physician and hospital of payment for their o services. It separates physicians' feet S * tram hospital fees, setting up a max- c tmnm of 150 for each In ordinary 1 1 •est-T In cases which require more p

than the average treatment, notification to the employer and Compensation Bureau Is all that is necessary to obj tali) ft. The employer Is safeguard®!* ■ by notification and the right to revlev I and the clause in the law which states "All fees and other charges for sucl "Physicians' and surgeons' treatmen 1/ and hospital service shall be reason able and based upon the usual fe® and charges as prevail In the sa'un community for similar physicians' surgeons and hospital service." Phones to Aid 8tate Troopers L Wherever the state police may b< patrolling their posts In northern Nev Jersey, residents of each section wii in be In close touch with the troopers p; telephone, through the co-operation o the New York Telephone Company with the police organization. It wai announced by J. A Hurley, local man ager of the telephone company. I_ "If you want the troopers," Mr y Hurley announced, "Just ask your tele y phone operator for state poMce. Shi will connect you with the neares d troopers' zone headquarters, as a regu e lation telephone toll call, atfd tin e troopers will do the rest. Informatlo: J" to this effect will be printed on- thi r~ front covers of the next telephone di rectories, along with the notices con u .ceralng fire and police . emergency * calls. The telephone numbers of th( >' troopers' headquarters will be posted e on the central office switchboard bul h letlns before each operator to aid then s ftj handling these emergency calls." 1 Troopers' zone headquarters In the e territory served by the New York Tele J. phone Company are at Netcong, Bor deotown, Hajnmonton and New- Brans '• wick. Certain places In each zone r will be used by the state police as e substations at which they may reach e their troopers by te'ephone w-nile on - patrol. On arriving at a town, the.v k win call at the substation, inquire 11 f "anything Is doing," and communicate '• with headquarters. If necessary. Zone d headquarters will have a scheduled , '■ route for. the troopers' patrols and will know at all times where these guar- ■ Sdians can be reached. By this system of telephone contact, the state pplice • I will be able to reach any given point i in their zones within a shftrt lime. j Similar co-operation Is afforded the - state police In New York state by the ] - telephone company. The troopers' rec1 ords In that state show that many I - times the constabulary has* been ma- - terially aided by the quick work and - ready assistance of telephone oper- ) ators when speedy action was lmpera- • live. ' ' Chancellor Retires From Vestry - Chancellor Edwin Robert Walker, highest judicial officer In New Jer- ' ^ ■ sey, has retired as one -f the vestry- j | men of St. Michael's Protestant Epls- * copal Church, because, he alleges, i ' politics has' been Introduced Into the c chur'ch. He Insists the church Is no \ ' place for politics. The church Is at- ! ' tended by the exclusive social set of J ' Trenton. In accordance with his wish, ex- £ pressed In a letter to State Comptroller Newton A. K. Bugbee, senior £ warden of the vestry Board, Chancellor Walker was not. re-elected at ' the last election: Jame$ E. Gait of the Engineering Department, Public . Service Corporation, was chosen In his place. j, Chancellor Walker.'s statement follows a disagreement with other mem- 1 bers of the vestry over an address p made by Rev. Samuel Stelnmetz, rector of the church, at tlie Republican It Clnh here recently. Rev. Mr. Stelnmetz told a story and concluded, it Is : alleged, with the remark that "if he i " wasn't a Republican he would be | ashamed of himself." • I Chancellor Walker regarded the ap- 1 ' pearance of the rector before the pofltl- 1 S> cal organization and stressing of his | partisanship as. Indelicate and prob- P ably offensive to many parishioners, ; > who like himself, were Democrats. fl At the annual parish meeting vestry- ] v men chosen "besides Gait were Bugbee, £ Charles H. Baker, Dr. E. H. Glnneliy, ' I Prof. W. Starr Myers, Walter P. Wil- 1 \ son. Dr. J. E. Stretch, William H. B Atkinson, Dr. J. R. Cooper, W. O. War- ! ? ren and Albert C. Funk. Dr.. Stelnmetx X presided at the election. g Plan County Seat Removal i> The voters of Atlantic county may | an opportunity this fall to vote j P the proposition to change the county ; X aeat from Mays Landing to Atlantic ' I Otty. At a meeting! plans for moving i y the county aeat w-e^i discussed, and ' £ It was generally decided that this I could be accomplished with the expen- j dlture of about $2,000,000. | | However, the saving in time and j v, convenience of those who have to use 1 £ the "courts at Mays Landing would | more than compensate for any mono- i > tary logs. The present-county seat la I ■ twenty-two miles away* from Atlantic P CUty, but the poor transit faculties i / b«ween the two places makes It really ■ day's Journey to get. to Mays Lending 5 and back.
