STATE KIND To
PUBLIC SERVICE

gpeotal % ths EYEN1Ne WE'VE.

Special to the EVENING NEWg.
Trenton, Jan. 9:-In view of the
well known opposition of the Demo
Gratis of this state to corporations
and corporation influence, considera-
bic speculation exists as to whether
the State House Commission, after
the Democrats get control through
the inauguration of DIR. Wilson az
governor and the appointment of a
Democratic comptroller to succeed
Henry j. West, will be as kind to the
Public Service Corporation as the
Republicans have been.
The State House Commission is
composed of the governor, state
treasurer and state comptroller and
has absolute control of all matters
pertaining to the capitol and its
grounds. Since 1896 the members
of the commission have all been Re-
publicans.
Although some ear ago the State
House was equipped with its own
electric light plant at a large ex-
pense to the state, the Republican
commission abandoned the expensive
machinery and turned the lighting of
the big building and the furnishing
of power for the elevators over to
the Public Service Corporation. The
first bill of the Public Service Cor
poration for this service was paid by
the commission on February 20,
1904, and was for $520.44. Since
that time the commission has paid
the Public Service crowd more than
$4,000 for electric light and pow
or, besides about $50 a month for
gas, or some $4,000 additional. All
the while this big sum was being
paid out the states electric plant has
lain idle, although the commission
has also paid good salaries to two or
three electricians to care for 1t and
to look after general electric mat
tiers In the building.
For the fiscal year ending october
81. 1904, the payments on this ac-
count to the Public Service Corpor-
alton aggregated $~4,031.58. The
successive payments have been as
follows: 1905, s~7,244.58; 1906,
~$9,053.2S; 1907, 310,192.4O; 1908,
s~11,168.51; 1909, $~14.e50.62; 1910,
ESTIMATED, the treasurer's report
not having been published YETI
$4,000. The figures are all from
the official reports of the state treas
urer.

Ito be named. Some districts went
so far as to instruct for Hill. Smith
talked Fill to his friends. The state
convention was held, and Smith was
made chairman of the state delega-
ton to the national Democratic con-
vention at Chicago.
Until the last moment 1t was sup
posed that New Jerseys vote would
be found In the Hill column. 1t was
then that William G. Whitney, at
that time the manager OF the CleVe-
land campaign and a powerful In
fuence In public service corpora
lions. got hold of Smith and urged
him to support Cleveland. He took
him to Chicago with him in his pri-
vate ar, and, on the way Smith was
converted. At Chicago the state
delegation caucussed, and Albeit
was surprised to learn that the Or
~ganization had been switched to
Cleveland. In the end Albeit sec
onded Cleveland's nomination on
behalf OF New Jersey, and Smith got
the credit of being a stalwart CleVe-
land supporter. He has been wont
to boast of his loyalty to Cleveland,
but those who are familiar with the
inside history of the episode know
that he was an eleventh-hour con-
vert.
Smith, doubles, acquired some
prestige as a result of bringing the
state delegation over to Cleveland.
The C~leevland men looked to him as
one of their asets. To be sure, there
were some disquieting rumors Smith
made a speech at Newark, instruct
ing the speakers to drop the tarin
issue and emphasize local matters.
In some quarters this was taken as
an attempt to sacrifice the national
ticket for state and local candidates.
But all alike were elected In the
landslide In November.
This was the situation when the
eight assemblymen from Essex
county addressed a letter to Smith,
to whom every n OF them owed
his political existence, asking him
to become a candidate for the senate
against Albeit. The letter fell like
a ~thunderbolt In the Albeit camp.
Friends Of the governor knew well
enough L0ht Lu0 lcJtCI Wdp lu6PAiOa
by Smith himself. They recognized
in it a signal that all Smiths sup
posed efforts In behalf of Albeit and
all his frequent protestations of 10y
atty to the governor were but q
cloak for furthering his W inter
ests at Abbett's expense. Some OF
them. however, went to Smith
straightway and asked him whether
he was a candidate.
ooh, that is just a lfttue way the
boys at home have of honoring me,
he Is reported to have said in effect.
But when they attempted to pin him
down, he was evasiye enough to fill
them with alarm.
Ugly Rumors As To Methods.
AS the time drew near for the
legislative caucus, ugly rumors were
heard of the methods used to line up
the members against Albeit. The
movement was on the surface not SO
much a pro-Smith as an anti-Abbett
movement. Much was made of the
argument that Albeit had opposed
Cleveland's nomination, and that he
would therefore not be In q posi-
ton to help the President carry
through his tarin program. In view
OF the fact that Smith himself HAD
not beooure q supporter OF Cleveland

FL Paso, Tex, April 29-The Chi

Business men of Chihuahua who

Further Developments In Armour
Bond Theft.

Kansas City, Mo, April 29-Follow-
ing the announcement today that un-
less the young woman, who recently
stole S150,O0O worth Of securities from
Mrs. S. 3. Armour, made good an ex-
listing shortage of $4,000, her arrest
would follow, Attorney Joseph G..
Stacey, representing the accused per
son, began a vigorous search for
enough money to square the account
He has found his clients financial af-
fairs to be badly muddled, he says
Stacey says the case is one which
would interest the alienists. The at
torney AYERS that his client does not
know positively now that she ever
took any of Mrs Armour's property
The young woman. he says, is suffer-
ing from an extreme case of lack of
memory.
"She told me-" said Stacy, that one
night she dreamed that she saw
$32, 900 worth Of bonds hidden in
dog kennel near the Armour home
So greatly was she exercised by this
dream that she arose in her night
clothing and without waiting to dress
went to the kennel. The bonds were
there just as she had dreamed. She
does not remember having taken
them from the safety deposit vault"
Shortly after the thefts were dis
covered the young woman told the at
torneys for Mrs. Armour that there
was a bundle of bonds in the kennel
They were found there and restored
to their owner. Investigation by Stac-
ey of his clients accounts at a local
bank today showed that i'm the last
three years she had deposited S122,-
00399. Her salary for the three years
was about $4,000. 1t is concluded
therefore that the original estimate of
her thefts of $150,OO0 is correct

able, at least, satisfactory to the rebel
leader and that hostilities in the north
will not be resumed. If this proves
to not be the case, there remains Cen
eraI Bernardo Reyes to look to, for
back of his recall there may be a po-
litical significance. 1t may be that
there is an understanding that, in
time, he is to be president, but the i'm
mediate result of his return has to
do with the war department.
AS it's chief, it is admitted that he
can instill more enthusiasm into the
army than any other man in Mexico.
and if Madero continues his revolt, he
will find opposition under Reyes great
er than he has yet encountered. 1t is
recognized that there will be hard
work for Reyes even if the agreement
for peace is signed, as it is not i'm
probable that such leaders as Luis
Moya in Durango and General Ffgueroa
in the south will recognize the terms
of the agreement and cease fighting.
but it is difficult to imagine a sudden
cessation of all disturbances.
Within the week the rebels have add
ed considerably to their treasury by
forced loans in the state of Mexico. but
a few hours ride from the national
capital. From Francisco Ramos $10,
900 was secured; from Juan Martinez
$1,000; from Adrien Sanchez, $4,000,
and from Mauricio Fabre, $4,000.
Their properties are near Chalco.
Zacualpan is another town in the
state of Mexico being menaced by the
rebels. 1t is poorly garrisOned and the
rebels have demanded its surrender.

LINES OF DEFENSE.

The contention Of the defense, ac-
cording to Hartman, viii be based
in these grounds:
First-That the dynamite made by
the factory from which the dynamite
that is alleged to have caused the eX-
plosion was purchased was tested
in the government bureau of mines,
and would not set fire to gas.
Second-That dynamite viii not set
fire 10 inks and oils, and that an eX-
plosion of dynamite of the kind said
To have been used, would not have
been followed by sheets Of flame, but
on the contrary would eNtinguish the
flame
Third-A gas explosion, on the other
hand. would set fire To inks, oils and
would be followed by sheets of flame.
