afternoon Mr.. Taft sent for the am

The President said the reports were
scarcely worth denying, but he desired
TO set them at rest for all time. The
President asked Baron Uehida to COM
municate these views directly to the
emperor of Japan.
President Taft has been greatly an
noyed by the persistent and erroneous
reports that have been sent out from
Washington tending to give Jap
anese coloring to the mobilization
maneuvers. The reports have been to
the effect that Japan had negotiated a
secret agreement with Mexico for a
coaling station on the Pacific coast,
and that the United States was menac-
ing Mexico as a protest.
Denials from the Japanese embassy
and from the ambassador himself as to
the coaling station story, as well as
denials from the State department here
as to any connection of Japan with the
maneuvers, have failed to stop the re-
ports. which the President regards as
malicious.

To APPEAL YACHT
TAX DECISION BY
CIRCUIT COURT
Uzal II. McCarter Says Impost
Upon Vessels Will Be Fought
Further as Unconstitutional.

The recent decision of United States
Circuit Court Judge Noyes. in the test
case of the government, versus the
owners of foreign-ma yachts, de-
claring the heavy excise tax constitu-
tional, will not terminate the case, de-
clared Uzal H. McCarter. president of
the Fidelity Trust Company, today,
who Is one of the contestants.
American owners of foreign made
yachts, according to section 81 of the
tariff act of August 8, 1909, must pay
each. year 81 per gross ton. tax on
pleasure craft. The government will
accept 30 per cent. of the vessel ad-
valoreum, in lieu Of the yearly tax. In
this manner a vessel worth 100000 will
cost the owner in taxes 100000 to clear
1t. The yearly tax. which is rated by
the tonnage. will bring the annual
amount onxa good sized vessel up to
s17, 900 or more.

the representatives of the number of

In his decision Judge Noyes said: AS
the tax Is assessed equal.s on all citi-
zens throughout tn Unit I'd States who
own or charter such yachts, it pos
sesses the geographical uniformity pre-
scribed by the constitution" Mr.. Nc
Carter declared the decision will be ap-

Mrs. Yardley Is Elected
to West Orange
School Board.
DEFEAT LIVINGSTON AND
ONE GLEN RIDGE WOMAN
But Mrs. Hinrichs Carries Day,
or Evening, in Latter
Borough.

AS the result of an exciting series OF
school elections in the townships of Es-
sex county yesterday two of the four
women candidates for places on school
boards will serve for the ensuing term
and two will not. 1t was an even
break so far as the mooted question
of the participation of women in affairs
at the polls is concerned, but that
measure of success made it, in so far
as the feminine contingent was con-
cerned, veritable triumph.
Mrs. Farnham Yardley was an easy
yictdr in West Orange and Mrs. Mary
l.. Hinrichs Won out in Glen Ridge.
Mrs. David H. Standish, of Glen Ridge,
and Mrs. Frederick Parkhurst, of Liv-
ingston. were the women candidates VINO
figured in the also--an column. Mrs.
Standish made splendid showing, re-
ceiying but nine votes less than the
triumphant Mrs. Hinrichs, while Mrs.
Parkhurst received but one vote. 1t Is
tacitly understood that Mr.. Parkhurst
was responsible for tie failure of his
wife to fail to score.
Glen Ridge Justified its reputation OF
being heavily mantled with a literary
atmosphere by returning Thomas l..
Mason, one of the editors of Life, q
winner at the head of the successful
ticket. He received 1856 votes. His col
leagues, John C. Van Dyne and Mrs
Hinrichs, received. respectively, 12S and
1T votes. The success of the women was
the more gratifying in that women had
merely the privilege of voting on ap-
propriations, and thus they (the can
didates) were dependent entirely on the
old d-fashioned votes by men.
Ralph De Camp, who. with Amos N.
Harrison and William Rathbun, make
up the winning ticket in Livingston,
succeeds Mrs. Edward Vincent, the first
woman 20 serve on a school board in
Essex county. She resigned month
ago.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATORS
TO BAR U. S. SENATOR OWEN.
Won't Allow Him to Speak at
State House.

SPRINGFIELD. H., March e.
United States Senator Owen, of Okla
homa, may be prevented from speaking
on initiative and referendum in the hall
of representatives at the State House
this afternoon, as 1t had been an
nounced he would do.
Lee O'Nell Browne and his followers
on the minority side and number of
members on the Republican side de-
clared that they would not countenance
the appearance of Senator Owen. which
they consider would be a personal af-
front.
Minority Leader Alschuler said that
he felt, to avoid trouble. Senator Owen
should speak in some other place than
in the hall of representatives.
after what Senator Owen said in
Washington about certain members of
the House whom he mentioned individ-
uaIly,' said Mr. Alschuler, II cannot
understand how he expects courteous
treatment. 1t will be impossible to hold
back a large number of the members
if the Oklahoma senator persists in his
announced intention of speaking in the
hall of representatives this afternoon.

PETER F. DAILY
NAMED JUDGE
IN M|DO[EsEX
rFrom a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, March %. : Governor
Wilson today nominated Surrogate
Peter #. DAILY for county judge of
Middlesex county.
The appointment directs added atten-
ton to the gossip that the Governor is
using his patronage to whip the legis-
lators int line for his pet measures.
1t was pointed out as significant that
the three Assemblymen from Middle
sex. Booraem. Ramsay and Strietwoif'
had voted for the Geran bill. Those
who had heard the patronage gossip
said the action of the Middlesex men
indicated that they knew the Governor
would appoint DAILY.
James Baker, of Hudson county, was
as a trustee of the State
Home for Girls (reappointed), and Free
man woodbridge for district court
Judge at New Brunswick, was also
by the Governor.

MARITIME ADDRESSES
NEW JERSEY SENATE.
Accepts Privilege Of Floor with
Rhetorical Fl0urishes.
[From a Staff Correspondent.


TRENTON, March 2.-United States
Senator MARITIME was here today. A
resolution was passed rendering him
the privilege of the floor of the Senate
and granting him the opportunity to
address that body.
He improved the occasion in a ten
minute rhetorical flourish of trumpets
in his usual eloquent way. Among
other things he said that he had not
been elected because of any inherent
or personal merit, but in accordance
with the will of the people.
He apI sciated the great confidence
reposed in him. but felt that it was
beyond his ability to adequately repre-
sent so greet and rich a people as those
of New Jersey. He was. he said, a
strict partisan in political matters, but
hoped he was broad enough to do his
duty. And so FORTH and SO on, to the
end of a rhetorical display. which some
of the senators, with their uniform
courtesy, applauded.

CH|CAGO PACKERS
LOSE FIGHT TO
ESCAPE TRIAL
Immunity Claim of Indicted Men
Is Dismissed by Fed
eral Court.

CHICAGO, March 22.-The indicted
Chicago packers today lost their fight
against going to trial on the Indict-
ments secured by the government sew
eral months ago when Judge Carpenter
in the United States District Court to-
day overruled their demurrer to the
charges and held that the immunity
granted by Judge Humphreys of the
Federal Circuit Court in 1906 did not
apply to the present charges, which, he
held, were based on evidence not in
cluded In the Humphrey decision.
In his decision Judge Carpenter said:
''The question is this: Was the inn
munity granted so perfect that they
may continue indefinitely in their ur1-
lawful undertaking, II such an admis-
sion was the nature of their evidence
before the grand jury?
"A question put to a witness can
not relate to something which does not
exist. AS to all crimes committed at
the time the information was had from
tl.o defendants, there may have been
immunity. 1t cannot be claimed now
as to crimes which had not then been
committed. or even contemplated.
Clearly, If the present Indictment
contemplated a crime supposed to have
been committed within three years
prior to it's return, and 1t clearly does,
then the old immune evidence did not
and could not relate to the offense
charged.
Conspiracy a Continuing Act.
"A conspiracy to accomplish an un-
lawful act is, in it's nature, q continu-
ing act, and IL continues until aban-
doned or its object is accomplished. So
long as the parties contemplate fur
ther action to the attainment of their
ultimate object, the agreement exists,
and this further action may consist
alone in accepting the benefits of the
agreement"
Not only did Judge Carpenter rule
that immunity existed only for the
specific 1iawful acts committed be-
fore the issue of the Indictment under
which they secured immunity, but he
decided for the first time that the acts
testified to and which were made pure
and incapable of subjecting the doers
to criminal prosecution could be used
in future prosecutions. He said. how
ever, they could be used only to show
the original conspiracy, when con-
tinuation of the conspiracy beyond the
time of immunity was the subject of
the future prosecution.
Th, indicted packers are: Louis f.
Swift, Edward f. Swift, Francis A.
Fowler and Charles H. Swift. of Swift
& Co.: Edward Tilden, president of the
National Packing Company; ]. Ogden
Armour, Arthur Meeker. Thomas J..
Connors, of Armour g. Co.; Edward

OLDEST SCHOOL
JANITOR JOINS
WIFE IN DEATH
James j. Quinn, Beloved by
Hundreds of Newarkers,
Passes Away.

Many men and women who were once
boys and girls in the Newark Public
Schools will be sorry when they learn
that James ]. Quinn is dead. For Mr..
Quinn had been janitor of different
public schools in Newark for thirty
seven years, and for thirty years con-
tinuously he had charge of the Rose
Vile and North Seventh street institu-
tions 1t is only a week ago today that
his wife Ellen died at their home, so
Bergen street, of pneumonia. and her
husband was stricken with the same
illness few days later. He will be
buried by her side in the Cemetery of
the Holy Sepulchre Friday at $3.50 a.
M. after funeral services and solemn
high mass of requiem at st. Joseph's
Church.
Most Faithful Servant.
There is little doubt that Mr. Quinn
was the oldest public school janitor in
point OF service and in point of age
in the state of New Jersey for he had
proven himself SO valuable TO the
Board of Education that they retained
him at the Roseville school in spite OF
his 73 years.
And there is little doubt also that
Quinn knew more "grown-up" school
children in Newark than any other
man. He was the. ''old schoHl day
friend of hundreds of them. and many
remembered him annually for years
afterward when they had gone out into
life and he was still "the old janitor.
He was known In educational circles as
one of the most faithful servants the
city ever had.
Mr.. Quinn Is survived by three sons
and five daughters: Mrs. David Naugh-
ton. Misses Mary, Ellen and Teresa
Quinn, Mrs. Denis Geirdere, James j
Quinn, jr., Thomas r. Quinn and
Joseph A. Quinn.
