RIVER IMPROVEMENT

Washington, Jan. 13.-The house
committee on rivers and harbors TO-
day heard Newark, N. j., delegation
for an increased appropriation to
deepen the channel OF the Passaic
river. Congress at the last session ap-
propriated $298,00O for the dredging
of 12-foot channel in the Passaic

owing to the fact that there Is no
place to dump the diggings taken
from the river. the appropriation Is
not sufficient.

MACHEN CASE
WYNNE UNDER CROSS-Ex-
ANIMATION.
He WOULD NOT KNOW
a Croft Fastener From a
Locomotive.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The after
noon session in the trial of A. W..
Machen today opened with the cross
examination of Mr. Wynne. Questions
were asked as to his selection OF Mr..
Howley as chief clerk and then con-
cerning his reasons for expecting
Machen to decide concerning the ex-
penditure of money in all cases unless
questions were raised
Mr.. Wynne was asked to detail his
duties. He answered at length At
torney Beach declared that counsel
for the defense was badgering the wit
ness and making a side harangue to
the jury. This led to a noisy squab-
BILE between counsel which was ended
by the court ordering the defense to
ask specific questions.
Mr. Wynne said he never asked
Machen for an explanation of a let
ter or item in his division without re-
ceiving a full reply, "Machen knew
all about every letter and everything
in his division" ne added.
Mr.. Wynne testified as to the scru-
tiny to which Machen's mail was put
after the investigation. He said he
had never asked an explanation of
Machen because he would not believe
anything Machen might say.
Did you sign any orders for Croft
fasteners after you began to distrust
Machen," he was asked.
Il have no definite recollection" At
torney Douglas, counsel for the de-
Tense then read an order for 100 fas-
teuers at s125 addressed to the
Groffs dated Jan. 13, 1908. Mr..
Wynne identified his signature to the
order.
Il paid no special attention to the
order" he said Il would not know
a Croft fastener from a locomotive. II
was small order. | might have held
up an order for 5000 fasteners"
Further questioning of Mr.. Wynne
along this line continued until ad.

WAS 1t not in the power of the
building commissioner to close these
theatres?" asked the juror.
"The commissioner could have pro-
ceeded In two ways. believe the
ordinance gives him power to close
a theatre If it Is apparent that there
10 immediate danger to patrons. He
may also report the situation to the
mayor with recommendations of re-
vocation of licenses"
Asked II he had seen the plans Of
the Iroquois when application for IL
censes were made. the mayor said
no; that anything in the field of IL
censes rested with the city clerk and
city collector.

referred by him to the council and by

tee and published by the latter.

charges affecting the LaSalle and

liams had investigated and was
startled to find that not single thea
ter was complying with the law.
Asked why he or the commission
had not acted, the mayor replied
that nothing could have been done
save to close all the theaters; that
no considerable portion of the public
would have sustained such action last
November when the report was made
and that injunction and mandamus
proceedings would have been filed
by the theater managers. Even now
he said the theater managers are talk
ing of legal proceedings against the
city for closing their places of busi
ness after the fire.
Foreman Myer OF, the jury took the
witness In hand and questioned him
for some minutes. He wanted to
know why enforcement of the exist

situation without the necessity of q
new code. The mayor said that ques-
tion could not be answered without
consideration Of the date at which the

ing of the third days session OF the

governor for all the people, and not
just for one faction of one party, as
he has been in the past, he will
receive the hearty support of
thousands who voted against him.
Meanwhile, the strife in the state,

ten years must cease There are
other things more important to the
welfare of the state and its people
than who shall hold the offices, and
while they have been lost sight of in

There are good many ways for &C
counting for the results of Tuesdays
election. 1t may be that Roosevelt
carried La Toilette through with him:
it may be that many stalwart voters
failed to search La Toilette, as was
their intention, for fear of losing
their vote for Roosevelt; it may be
that the Democrats did not 90 back
on La Toilette. The SureSt way of
accounting fer the reelection of
