perts, to the heavy rains in that part
of the country. The indications in this
section of the country are for a light
fall frost tonight. Forecaster Harry c.
Frankenfeld of the weather bureau to-
night said:
The reason for the cold weather we
have had during the past two or three
months is that the high areas of pres
sure have moved eastward from the
northern portion of the country almost
and these have caused cold
north winds. That is the only reason
can give for the cold weather areas. AS
to what makes these high areas keep
up all this season is more than I can
tell
Not since 1882 has the abnormal
weather been approached in this part
of the country. 1t is five degrees below
the normal temperature for this month.
A temperature of A degrees was re-
corded at the weather bureau early to-
day and SO degrees at s o'clock tonight
and the mercury is expected to drop
considerably tonight.

MCCLELLAN DISAPPROVES.
Sends the Public Utilities Bill Back to
New York Legislature.

New York. May 2S.-Mayor McCiel-
Ian late today recorded his official dis
approval of the public utilities bill,
which he tonight sent back to the
Legislature. where. it is expected. il
will be repassed without the mayor
signature.
In memorandum accompanying the
disapproval of the measure. the mayor
explains that. while he is i'll accord
with the general principles embodied
in the bill it is as u whole so destruc-
tive Of the principle of home rule that
but one course was open to him.
This was the objection. but the mayor
adds in effect. that such legislation
would result inevitably in the appoint
ment of partisan commissioners. who
in times of party stress would use their
power to coerce the transportation
companies into furnishing funds with
which to corrupt the elections.

ARMENlANS TO HELP,
Better Class viii Organize Groups to
Hunt for Murderers.


New York, May 2S.-Failure of the po-
lice to arrest the murderer of the Rev.
kaspar Vartanian, the Armenian priest
whose body was found In a trunk on Sun
day, may result in the organization of
groups of the better class Of Armenians
in different cities to prosecute the search
for the murderers. A plan to form such
an organization was proposed to the po-
lice today by Matuchi Holopigian, q gro
Ger, whose brother was formerly part
ner of Sarki Ermojian, one of the Arme-
mans who is wanted by the police in this
case. Mr. Holopigian said that his coun-
trymen would be able to secure Informal
ton not within reach of the police.
The police today expressed the belief
that there is some ground for the sus-
pcion that young Armenian woman
who was frequently seen in company with
Ermojian figures in some way in the
trunk mystery. The wife of the keeper OF
Row. Eartanian frequently patronized
told the police today that E:rmojian intro
duced the priest to this young woman
about a week before the murder. After
ward the priest and the young woman
were seen together often and the priest
said that he was going to Hoboken to
call on the young womans parents. The
police suspect that Vartanian's murderers
made use of the priests friendship for the
girl to induce him to visit the place where
he was murdered.

PLEAS OF GUILTY
And Payment Of Fines viii End the
Honduras Lottery Cases.

Wilmington, Del, May 2S.-Indications
that the end of the government prosecu-
ton of the Honduras lottery cases will
come soon by the easy process of pleas of
guilty and the imposition OF fines. were
apparent today, in relation to the indict-
ments against John NJ. Rogers, Jesse X.
BayleS and Lester r. Bayles OF this city.
They were indicted by the federal grand
jury at Mobile, Ala, the former for send
ing from one state to another the lottery
tickets which were printers at Rogers
printing establishment in this city. They
will start for Mobile on Saturday next.
Their present intention Is to plead guilty
TO the indictments and the presumption
is that the penalty will be n fine without
imprisonment. This fine, according to ar
engagements made with officials of the
late Honduras Lottery Co., will be paid
out of the company's treasury, it being
the intention of the officials to permit
none of it's agents to suffer any loss by
fines.

nounced today that Rogers printing plant
would be sold on or about June 20, the
