DECLARE FRUIT TRUST
CONTROLS BONlLLA

PUERTO CORTEz. Honduras, Feb.
II (by wireless to New Orleans) THE
people of Honduras will never accept
Manuel Bonilla for president. because
he is in league with a fruit trust of the
United States This declaration. made
today by General Maxine b. Rosales,
peace envoy of Pr esident Davila. does
not give promise of an early settle
ment of the revolutionary troubles of
the country as general Bonilla is de-
termined to resume fighting if the
presidency is not turned yer to him.
Already the revolutionary troops
here under General Lee Christmas are
growing restless because of the feel
ing that the peace proposal of Presi-
lent Davila was merely a ruse to gain
time. They anticipate further lighting.
General Hosales says that if General
Bonilla will sacrifice his personal am
bition to regain the presidency the
peace negotiations may be conclude
within a few days.

WORKERS DENY
FRAUD REPORTS
IN ATLANTIC CITY
Probe Counsel Fails to Place Re-
sponsibility for Bogus
Registrations.
[speeIal 70 the Newark San. |

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 17.-LittIe of
a startling nature in the way of al
legged election frauds were developed
at the hearing Of the Assembly in
vestigation committee, which renewed
its sittings in the council chamber of
the City Hall today. Most of the morn
ing was consumed in the examination
of Robert NJ. Johnston. secretary of
the Republican Campaign Committee
and an election officer in the Second
ward. Attempt was made by Lawyer
Hinkle, counsel for the committee, TO
connect Johnston with attempting to
have a number of names placed on the
registers in the First ward on the first
registry day following primary cleo
ton, but they failed.
He was asked If he had not gone to
one of the polling places with a list of
names and tried to have them placed on
the registry, but failed after finding he
would be obliged to make affidavit as
to the right to be registered.
This Johnston denied. He said that
he had absented himself from his own
precinct for the purpose of taking a
number of cards to certain workers
who were endeavoring 10 get out every
person entitled to register.
The only testimony adduced that in
dicated fraud was that of Thomas Nc
Corkle, a youth, who said he had gone
to the fourth precinct of the First ward
on election day, where he testified to
having seen one Frank Majane swing

PATERSON IS NOT
COMMITTED TO
ANY SEWER BILL
Mayor Says City VIII Only Rec
ognize Plan Agreed With
Passaic Valley Board.

PATTERSON, Feb. 1T.-This city will
not commit itself to any of the bills
pending in the Legislature which have
a bearing on the trunk sewer question,
according to Mayor Mcbride, who said
yesterday that the only plan which
will be recognized was the one which
the city recently entered with the Pas
sale Valley Sewerage Commission.
According to Mayor Mcbride any OF
the bills will require an extensive re-
adjustment Of the lines along which
the commissioners nave been working.
Then, too, the city cannot lose sight Of
the Injunction of the Court of Chan
usry, which forces it to take definite
steps toward ceasing to pullute the
SKATERS of the Passaic before April 1.
want Sewer to BE BuiIt Quickly.
Bald the Mayor: II am naturally or
posed to the bills as being impractl-
liable. We are not seeking delay. We
want the sewer to be built quickly.
srhe assessments shall be levied against
each municipality as the plans of the
Passaio Valley Commission read. That
nlan has been attested to by the city
and contains the corporate seal of the
atty Of Paterson. We want definite fig
ures as to cost and lave agreed TO go
INTO the plan providing the sewer shall
not cost more than $12,5 0 900, as stated
ny the commission. The bills now being
introduced in the Legislature only
mean delay. They are unjust to Pat
erson and we are opposed to the act.
We want the sewer built speedily so
chat the conditions, well-nigh intoler-
able, will be abated."

IT'S ALL OFF AGAIN
WITH THE WEATHER.
Barometer Again Puts Fore
caster All in Wrong.

It's all off again with the
broken loose, kicked off the names,
busted the breeding, gone wild COM
pletel and altogether in one Of the
most vicious runaways that 1t ever
took In its long and irresponsible
career.
Today. as everybody has had aust
enough to know, it's raining. 1t should
not be raining. II should be cold as
ice and it should be almost too cold
to snow.
Ordinarily Professor Wiener q take
a souint at his barometer in the High
school building and he can say, All
ma" with perfect confidence; 'Ah, ha!
il will now be so and SO for the next
t~wenty-four hours And after he has
said it what he has seen in his
barometer will come true, quite, once
in a while.
But he looked into the barometer
this morning and saw it was a high
barometer-portending cold, icy weather
with much exterior frostlng, and he
looked outside and saw it DRILLING II
measlv luke-warm rain, and he glanced
with precipitation at the thermometer
nearby and saw II registered "a de-
EreeSt ana ne ulu not say All 10
but Very, very strange. indeed" for
q high barometer and such weather
had never come together before.
The professor %pondered that un-
p~recedented state of affairs for three
hours wondering alternately if the
weather was getting to the barometer
or whether the thermometer was haV-
ing fever Following being out all night.
but at noon the two instruments we're
disagreeing, Just as irrevocably as
ever. and the professor. disguised, got
over on the side of discretion and sent
out a tame prediction to the effect that
the weather is unsettled-which is a
perfectly true prediction, and that 1t
will be rainy all day with rain or snow
tomorrow. clearing and cold on Sunday,
with possibly a moon out as early as
tomorrow night. He said the tempera-
ture would continue along around IS
today.
