cifc bridge across the Duluth-Superior
harbor at Rice's point, and took out
one Of the abutments, throwing a span,

and the genius Of Michael Angelo, Bra
mantle and Rafael. The commission Of
such an outrage in such a place has
called forth unlimited condemnation
and is characterized as proving that
the perpetrators of the crime were ac-
tuated by feelings worse than those
which moved the Vandals and the Sar-
acens.
One theory is held that this attempt
was not directed against the papacy,
but rather challenge to society in
general by attacking religion, the most
sacred institution of the people.

cially to attack the negroes. When
this means of bringing about desired
results did not work satisfactorily,
Schultz asserted hat Shea ordered
the hired pickets to throw eggshells

nonunion men. The acid throwers, ac-
cording to Schultz. were responsible
for many runaways and were regard
ed as a great aid in the fight against

State Attorney Miller:
what did Mr.. Shea say concerning
negroesy'
He said. Break their legs or their
arms so they won't be able to work."

BABIES CAUSE
OWN DEATH.
Inquest AbsOIves Mothers from
!. Blame in Fire Horror Locked
Themselves in House.

WESTFIELD, Dec. 6.-The -four
little children who were burned to
death while locked in a room in the
Peckha.m house, here, Tuesday, were
prisoners by their own act, according
to a statement made here tonight by
Mrs. B. B. Felter, one of the grief
stricken mothers. She says she left
the door to the room in which their
charred bodies were found, unlocked
when sine went away. She says she
left the Key in the door on the inside
and she supposes that it was locked
by the oldest child in his excitement
and haste in trying to lead the others
to safety.
County Physician f. W. Westcott,
Recorder w. B. Toucey, and Chief of
Police Thomas O'Neill, late this after
moon completed the investigation into
the responsibility for the deaths of
the children. The decision was that
the deaths were accidental. The
mothers were absolved from blame.
From Mrs. R. B. Felter it was
learned ethat the women were not in
the habit of leaving the children at
home alone. Each woman does wash
ing in order to gain a living. but 1t
has seldom occurred that both were
away at the same time. One of the
women had usually remained at hon
while the other was away.
Both ome declared to the au-
thorities that the door of the house
was not locked when they left for
work, and Mrs. Wessler said hat ev-
erything was all right at the house as
late as 2 O'Clock in the afternoon.
They were inclined to believe that
Charles Wessler, the eldest boy, had
attempted to light the lamp at dark,
as he had often climbed upon a chair
and secured matches for that pur-
pose.
Double Funerals Today.
There will be double funerals for
the two families tomorrow morning.
The Wessler children will be buried
in st. Mary's cemetery, in Plainfield,
and another funeral will wend its
way to Fairview cemetery here, where
the family of Mrs. Felter will be
placed in one grave.
Mrs. Wessler has been unable to To-
cate her husband, who is in the navy.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. g.
Referee James Parker, of Perth Am
boy, had a strange experience in a
bankruptcy case at the post office
building here yesterday with a wom-
an, the wife of Blacksmith John j.
Almond, of Metuchen, who tried to
file her husbands claim in the VIII
liam H. Hager bankruptcy matter.
Hagar was formerly a baker at Me-
tuchen. He has no assets and no
trustee was appointed. One creditor
appeared against him. He was Ralph
c. Steven, of Bristoh Pa, who had a
claim of $500 on a promissory note.
Mrs. Almond presented her hus-
bands bill and said she was his at
torney and did all his legal business
for him. The referee tried to explain
to her that hexwould have to prove
the claim in person, but she could not
see it that way. The woman told the
referee she was not anxious to come
and would rather have taken a lick
ing than appear. She left without
filing her claim and saved the fee OF
twenty-five cents.

utive in the matter, and 1t is under
stood that Mr.. McCarter will present
a brief unfolding the governors posi-
ton that he had all the authority nee
essary to sign the bills after the legis-
lature has adjourned sine die.
The case which has given rise to
this condition is the certiorari
brought by Charles A. Bloomfield to
have reviewed proceedings of the Mid
! dlesex Board of Freeholders taken
under the provisions of the bill intro
duced at the last session by Senator
Jackson, of that county, which vail
dates proceedings of the freeholders
in connection with the building of the
bridge over the Raritan bay, between
Perth Amfboy and South Amboy. This
bill was passed in the last days of the
session, but was not signed by the
governor until June 10. When the suit
was brought. counsel for Mr. Bloom
field questioned the constitutionality
Of the act because it vas not signed
by the governor until after the legis-
lature had adjourned finally.
Should the court decide that the
governor has no authority to sign
bills after the adjournment the result
Iof the decision will be fur reaching, as
il Will affect a large part of all the
legislation of recent years. Former
Governor Foster Voorhees, always
maintained that the executive could
not sign bills after the adjournment
and always kept the legislature in ses-
sion after II had stopped passing bills
until he had disposed of all the mea-
sures sent to his desk. Most of his
predecessors and his successors have
he'd The opposite view, and taken
their time in disposing of the bills.
The present governor, this year, did
not clear up the measures on his desk
until well into the past summer.
A group Of state officials at the
capital yesterday were discussing the
chaotic condition into which the state
would be thrown if the court should
declare that a large part of its laws
was unconstitutional, and the sugges-
ton was made that if the court should
so decide before the next regular SEES
