Tex, April ga report which lacks

culation that In the event of President
Diaz putting into effect the reforms
suggested in his recent message to the
Mexican Congress, with peace as the

will be called TO Mexico City TO assume
q high office.
With the outposts Of the insurrectos
and the Federal troops separated by
only a few miles, Chihuahua today con-
tinued in a state Of expectancy. A
message has been sent to Madero urg-
ing him not to permit destruction of
the Mexican National railroad TO the
south, which is now the only means OF
bringing supplies here. Suspension of
trains would place Chihuahua city
under siege, and the presence of the
federal troops here, so far as food Is
concerned, would work a hardship on
the non-combatants.
Requests to Madero when presented
by foreigners invariably have been
granted. He has permitted provision
trains to pass through i%nsurrecto terri
tory to the mines northward, where
many Americans are employed.

PATTERSON. April S.-Supreme Court
Justice Minturn today designated
Eugene Emley to remain prosecutor Of
the pleas of Passaic county until the
overdue appointment by Governor Will
son shall be made. The first Of the
week Judge Scott appointed Finley, but
it was deemed safer to have the au-

causing much confusion.
Like everybody else. Prosecutor
Finley is at a loss to explain the de-
lay. The April term Of court will open
about April "a, and whoever Is to act
as prosecutor should have time to pre-
pare the cases.
Ralph Shaw, who has been assistant
prosecutor under Mr.. Finley during the

cannot be removed for political afhlia-
lions or opinions, and so far as he has
been able to learn he will continue to
hold his position until such time as he

Especial to the Newark start

ATLANTIC CITY. April S.-The AS

tee concluded its probe yesterday and
held an executive session with Attor-
ney Hinkle, who did the questioning
for the ~probers. A report Is being pre-
pared for presentation to the Legisla-
ture next Monday night.
In the final hour of the session the
committee had heard of approximately
800 cases of false registration. In the
opinion of Franklin H. Halliday, the
probers' chief detective, there were 1.75J
or 1890 more cases where the evidence
was just al convincing. OF these $50
or $500 illegally registered men IS per
cent. had voted.
Testimony pointing toward the domi-
nance of the police department by Com
modore Loui1 Kuehnle, Republican
leader. was also introduced. Howard

was laid off" because he was accuses
of having given information to probers

dore. : Frida.- last Kuchnle testified
that he had nothing whatever to do

Kuehnle on W important matters.

One was the statement made by
Howard Butler, a patrolman now under
suspension, who detailed O conversation
he had with Commodore Kuehnlc, i'll
which the BOSS told him that his real
offense against the police rules haG
been the giving of information 10 tho
Assembly probers.
OF scarcely less consequence was the
second matter, in which the question
of veracity Is raised. Commodore
kuehnie. when a witness at the probe
session last week. said, with every APP
pearance of truthfuIness, that he did
not know anything about what last
November's election cost the RspuE-

Miss Berkeley is playing IN The
Paradise of Mahomet' now running In
New Orleans.
-Four months ago Miss Berkeley was
playing In 1.-The Midnight Sons" in
Brooklyn. Moore went to see the show,
but did not seek to see Miss Berkeley
personally. It is believed his pride and
the consciousness of failure since he
left the army prevented him attempt
ing to get an interview with the girl
he had told his friend he hoped some
day to make his wife.
According to De Forrest 2. Lozier, Of
the finance department in the City Hall,
a friend of Moore, the ex-scldier had
grown very Respondent because of his
lack Of success in HIS many ventures,
and had talked Of reenlisting in tho
army, where he knew no career await
I'd him.
Another friend said ma Moore was
a regular purchaser of a dramatic
weekly published in New York through
which he was able to follow Miss
Berkley's itinerary and that he wrote
10 her regularly once a week. He had
received no replies to these letters for
Che past few months.
1t was suggested that the young man
may have read and been influenced by
a story which recently had consider
able vogue in which q young man, a
soldier, believed he had discovered cir

who loved him. The bitterness with
which Moore spoke of the day OF his
birth in his last letter and the extra
narno (MorilD in the signature is re
garded as mute evidence of the parallel
existing between the fiction and the
renl life stories.

DOG CATCHER HAS RIGHT
TO NAB COLLARLESS DOGS.
Humane Society's Employee Ne
leased by Judge Hahn.

Judge Hahn, in the First Precinet
Police Court, today ruled that en-
ployees Of the Humane Society had a
right to pick up from the streets all
animals which did not have a collar
bearing the name of its owner. This
decision was given after the hearing
Of Argo Thompson, OF 467 South Tenth
street. who alleged that Horace Ber-
nard, an employee of the Humane So
ciety, had entered his areaway and
taken his dog.
-Four witnesses were on hand to tes-
tify that they had seen Bernard go 10
a window where the dog was seated
and pick him up m throw him into
the wagon which is used FOR carrying
stray animals to the city pound.
Counselor Grice appeared for the So
ciety and stated that Oh account of the
accusation OF the health department
the society has been very active, and
during the past year had picked up
over LOO dogs, while the health de-
partment state that there are still
1000 dogs running at large about the
city.
The charge against Bernard was for
grand larceny and the value Of the dog
was placed at $50. In rendering his de-
cision Judge Hahn said:
~ believe the complaint has been i'll
advised and nothing has been shown
that would cause me to believe that
the men in the employ of the Humane
Society had entered this mans prem
ises with the intent to steal. I am
sure that the young man only went to
the areaway. and in his performance
Of his duty took the animal.
"Tf the complainant wishes to recover
for the value of his dog there is remedy
another court"

NO AGREEMENT
ON ABANDONMENT
OF MORRIS CANAL
Attorney-G General Wilson Wants
Basin Decision Made
Part of Pact.
LFrom a star correspondent.l

TRENTON, April S.--No agreement
was reached yesterday by the conferees
representing the State. Governor Will
son, Acknowledgement Wilson and for
mer Justice Bennett Van Syckel, and
those representing the Lehigh Valley
railroad, President Thomas. Richard v.
Lindabury and William H. Corbin, over
the Norris canal abandonment proposal.
Offers made by the representatives OF
the railroad company were declared I'M
satisfactory by the State officials and
Mr.. Van Syckel. Another conference is
to be held on April II, in the Gov
pany. it is said, will come prepared to
make new representations. As the
Legislature will soon adjourn 1t is be-
lieved that the railroad people will
make its best offer at the next meeting
of the conferees In order to have the
stamp OF legislative approval placed
upon the agreement at the present ses-
sion OF the lawmakers.
Wants TO Keep Basin.
The railroad company wants the right
to abandon the Morris canal, to dis
pose of the assets thereof, but to retain
the basin of the canal and property
thereabouts. which is now the Lehigh
terminal at Jersey City. The State,
however, claims the basin is an integral
part of the canal. legally SO at any rate.
The railroad lawyers. it Is said, de-
sired yesterday that the question be
considered as a whole. but there was
objection TO this on the ground that
the Court of Chancery has recently
decided that the basin is State property
and that two separate agreements we're
involved.
It is said that Acknowledgement Will
son will insist as a first requisite to
getting down to business with the rail-
road company, that the Lehigh will
agree as far as the canal basin property
is concerned that the terms of the re-
cent decree by Vice-Chancellor Steven
son be written into any agreement or
the subject.
No statement was given out from the
Governors office after the conference
and none OF the conferees had anything
to say as to the specific result of the
negotiations.
