says~that Dahlgren sometime last No

ness man in Broad street. having been
established there as a mems tailor for
years, when asked about the matter
made light of the whole affair and re-
peated what he said in court that he
would find no difficulty in clearing HIM

He had had no intimation of the
trouble until the warrant was issued,
and he cannot make out what it is all
about. He evaded all questions as to
any difference between him and the
complainant.
The two men have been business as
sociates for a long time, and no cause
for any quarrel could be found Mr.
Jackson also refuses to say anything
about the matter. contenting himself
with saying that all the facts would
come out in court, but that he had
nothing to say that he did not say in
court.

HOPE TO SETTLE
DEADL OCk At A
SECRET CAUCUS
T0day's Session of New York
Democrats AdiOurns Until
10 O'clock Tomorrow.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 3O.-The
Democratic senators hope to settle the
senatorship contest at a secret caucus
tomorrow morning. The caucus today
adjourned until 10 a. NJ. tomorrow with
out taking a vote, after the organiza-
tion leaders had directed a full attend
ance with the expectation that a SEN
ator may be elected and adjournment
taken for a week until the regular
quarters in the capitol are ready for
use.
When Senator Bayne had moved
that a recess be taken until tomorrow,
he called upon Majority Leader Smith
to make a statement.
I'VE are trying to settle this ques-
tion, and 1 am glad to be able to say
that d settlement is now in sight,
said Mr.. Smith. I'VE have been actu-
ally working night and day, and If we
can settle the question tomorrow noon
we can pass a concurrent resolution
adjourning both houses for about a
week. This will give the capitol Off
cials a chance to repair our quar-
ters.
"It is impossible to conduct the busi-
ness of the Legislature in such quar-
ters as we now have. We must have
a full attendance at the caucus tomor-
row morning. Negotiations are going
on with the men without whom it seems
impossible to reach 6. result. Let us
clear up this matter and make 1t pos
sible to go home, have good rest and
get back refreshed and ready for the
arduous business before u.s."
Senator Griffin inquired why the
caucus could not be held tonight.
For good and sufficient reasons
which l trust the senator will excuse
me from explaining at this time,' re-
joined Senator Bayne.
The motion was then adopted with
out dissent.
The situation since the adjournment
of the caucus last night appeared to
have been complicated by Charles F.
Murphy's illumination against Francis
Linde Stetson, whom he accused of
planning the ruin of the Democratic
party in this State by the defeat of
william F. Sheehan, the first caucus
nominee, attributing Mr.. Stetsons al
legged course to the influence of the
so-called Interests"
Senator Bracket, minority leader,
said today that the Republicans were
sitting tight and awaiting develop
ments" The failure to date to bring
about an alliance between the minority
members and the insurgents is taken
as another indication that the regu-
lars will defer caucus action at least
until Monday.
Before the caucus reassembled it was
planned to bring about a further adj
journment until Monday night in the
hope that in the interim a compromise
candidate will be agreed upon.
Tammany Leader Murphy is said 10
be in belligerent attitude, and To
be determined not to let the insur-

ANGE RED;

WITH LAWYERS
Threatens to Go to New York
for Attorney in Jones Em-
bezzlement Case.
RlKER FIRM DENIES
CONNECTION WITH SUIT
United States Commissioner Is
Sure of Being ExOnerated
at Hearing Tuesday.

Developments quickly followed one
another into the embezzlement case
brought by Joseph Fergg, the brewer.
against United States Commissioners
S. Howell Jones. In the first place,
Fergg. at his home in Springfield ave-
nue., declared that before he was
through with the affair he would bring
a dozen other suits and secure the ar
rests of others besides Jones, who is
now out on bail. He added that he
would go to New York, If necessary,
to get lawyers to prosecute for him
lawyers who weren't "all biased by
Newark society relations"
Denies Being Fergg's Attorney.
This statement from the brewer
came after Spaulding Frazer, of the
law firm of Riker & Riker, had denied
that he had been retained by Fergg to
help prosecute the United States COM
missioner. The firm of Riker Il Riker
also denied that they knew anything
about the case. This angered Fergg,
who declared that he was being
bounded. He called upon Judge Hahn
for a statement supporting his own
that he had been before the judge
with Frazer as his lawyer last Satur-
day. Judge Hahn admitted the con-
ference. Frazer again declared that it
never occurred.
Fergg still refuses to say what other
arrests he is going to cause or what
other lawsuits he is going to insti-
tute but when the friends of the
United States commissioner laughed at
his boasts and dubbed hrm crazy the
brewer gave this statement to the
Evening STAR:
1.-The firm of Riker G. Riker have
been our counsel for almost a year
from the day of the recent receiver
ship. All work done for us was done
by that firm through their partner,
Spaulding Frazer. He was the man l
consulted when 1 first determined to
have Jones arrested for withholding
more than $1,000 on the loan i've got
through him from Mrs. Caroline Pow
ers, of New York.
Frazer had charge of it from the
day the mortgage matter was first
brought into lawyers hands. He was
present day before yesterday, when,
in Judge Hahn's office, the entire Jones
matter was gone over. and I call on
Judge Hahn to verify this statement.
In Angus. when Frazer was in
Europe, Cecil Mcmahon, of the firm of
Riker & Riker, made demand on
Jones to pay the $4,000 mortgage, but

Guilty, Have Gone to
Mind=reader.
[speeial 70 the Newark star.l

MAYS LANDING. March 30.-With
the examination of William H. Strong
this morning his defense on the charge
of wife murder rested, and after two
physicians had been called in rebuttal
counsel proceeded to sum up the case.
Strong's story was very confused and
he denied many statements made by
a number of witnesses.
The whole case rests on the confess
sion tc the medium and whether,
backed by the positive evidence of two
detectives, it will stand against
Strong's bare denial
If it is believed by the jury there
is no doubt of conviction of murder in
the first degree, on which the prosecu-
ton insists.
Relating to his first visit to the
medium at Atlantic City, Strong said
Il went to learn something about
the crime, not to have my mind read.
Perhaps L did cry aNlittle.
II paid Mrs. Reed to go with me, and
she asked to have a reading, too; but
Nine. Gerard refused, because she said
she felt i'll.

ring laid trap for me and got me to
go see her again. The reason l asked

Nine Children Saved From
Flames in Tenement House
Blaze This Morning.

Nine children were saved by their
parents in night clothes in fire that
gutted the double frame house at 654
South Fourteenth street at $3.50 this
morning. During the height of the
blaze, one of the tenants, after rescuing
his baby, leaped through a window and
slashed the main artery of his wrist so
badly that he was taken to the City
Hospital unconscious.
1t was James HUM, head of a family
that consists of wife and four chill
dren. They were awakened by smoke
from the blaze that started in the
cellar and seeped up into his bedroom
on the second floor. He was so con-
fused by the smoke and the blaze in
Inc hallway, together with the fire
alarm, that he threw a pillow at his
wife's head to wake her up and then
dashed for the street.
Goes Back for babes.
Safe himself, he remembered his chill
dren. He went back, quite calm this
time, and took his 6year-old under
one arm and his 4-year-old under the
other and hustled them out Then he
raced back the second time and took
down the 2-year- and the baby OF
I months. His wife traiieG after MIN
with what household goods she could
collect in one arm.
The contIs family on the first
floor weren't 81 lucky. Lacontis aroused
his wife, took his 13-months' baby in
his arms and started for the door with
the flames bursting all around him. AT
the door he found that he had forgot
ten his key and couldn't unlock 1t.
Jacontf then plunged rfrougna a WIN
dow with the baby in his arms.
He smashed the heavy glass with
his back and his arm so as to protect
the little lad. He saved the lad, but
his wrist was cut open by the glass
He reached the street, however, and
before his wife reached his side po-
liceman had found him fainting with
the baby in mis- arms.
Loconti was hurried to the City
Hospital unconscious. for he had lost
blood enough to prove fatal to the av-
erage man. In the meantime the fire
was eating it's way through the inte.
rior of the house, licking up the furnl-
ture, caving in the floors and sending
all the other tenants scurrying for tht
streets.
Mrs. Alexander Glesscff, a widow
and her four children, We're sleeping
in the left wing of the first and sec
ond floors. Firemen helped her talk,
them out, just as the flames reached
the rooms. They were all shivering il
the street in nightgowns until neigh.
b0rs took them in.
The los is about $2,500. The outside
walls of the building were saved.

Governor in No Haste to Fill
Many of the Important
Vacancies.
E. E. GR0SSCUP FOR
STATE TAX BOARD
HiIdreth to Retire From County
Bench in Favor of
Jefferson.
[From a Stan Correspondent

TRENTON, March 3o.-Governor
Wilson. it is stated here today, has de-
cided to make these appointments:
Edward e. Grosscup, of Wenonah,
Gloucester county, TO succeed Theodore
Simonson, of Newton, as member of the

Taxes.
Matthew Jefferson, to succeed james
NJ. e. HiIdreth as county judge of Cape
May county.
Michael Kearns, to succeed StillweIl
r.. Townsend as member of the County
Tax Board of Cape May county.
The public is becoming bewildered by
the rumors concerning the executive
appointments.
One office was vacant some time ago.
That was the vacancy in the Court of
Errors and Appeals, caused by the
death of the late George R. Gray. The
judgeship is still untitled, to the mys-
tifcation of the public.
Fort Passed Nominations.
The deaths of Judges Gray and
James B. Dill left two vacancies in the
highest court of the State during the
term of Governor Fort.
BY arrangement, it is said. with the
incoming executive, Governor Fort APP
pointed Mark A. Sullivan, Of Jersey
City, to fill one of the vacancies
Ii was common rumor at the time,
and the rumor still persists. that Gov
ernor Fort was to fill the other va
cancy. The former governor is travel
ing in foreign parts and is not ex-
pected to return for several months.
In the meantime, however, his friends
are insisting that the compact be car
ried out and that Governor Wilson do
now send to the Senate the name OF
the former governor for appointive
confirmation for the position.
Assemblyman William p Macksey.
of Essex is telling his friends that
the Governor is going to appoint him
upon the Essex County Board of Elec-
tions.
The Governors undispensed patron
age is of considerable magnitude. In
addition to the foregoing vacancies to
be filled the executive has the appoint
