Scream Heard Too Late by

Caught in the winding NAV between
the giant spool and the great steel
threads which were slowly hosting
thousands of pounds of concrete up
ward this morning, Vito Secte, of 81
Lark avenue, Jersey City, was ground
to death today at the new Silcox-Mii-
Ter factory in Maplewood.
Secte was employed by the American
Concrete Company, with offices at 71S
Union building, this city, and it was
his place to see that the heavy cables
did not bind as they wound or un-
wound about the drum.
7 Once he leaned too far over. The
crease of a winding cable caught his
clothes and pulled him into the slowly
turning wheel. Next moment his body
was being broken, bone by bone, as
other cables wound 1t into the spool.
He shrieked before he died and En-
gineer William Leisllofs heard him. He
turned off the power, but the man
had been pressed to death under a
dozen steel threads, and he was hardly
recognized when they finally took nirl

MILITARY PARK
LOOP MEASURE
|NF|RM As EVER
Seeks to Take Away Rights OF
the Abutting Property
Owners.
LFrom a staff cor.espondent. ]

TRENTON, April 12.-The MCGOWAN
bill, containing all the infirmities OF
the old Lee kill, was given a hearing
yesterday by the House corporations
committee.
The measure seeks to permit the
Public Service Corporation TO make
half-mile trolley extensions or con-
neetions in first-class cities without
first obtaining the consent of the prop
erty holders in the streets affected.
The old Lee bill was defeated
through the efforts of the Newark
STARS. It attempted to give the troll
ley people permission to run a trolley
loop around Military Park. So do IS
the MCGOWAN bill.
Takes Away Property Rights.
The rights of property are
taken away by the bill. That was the
feature that proved fatal to its pre-
decessor--the Lee bill.
Morris r. Sherrerd, city engineer of
Newark, explained the provisions Of
the bill to the committee and on maps
which he exhibited told the members
what sections of Newark would be af-
fected. Board of Works Commission
ers Mungle, Kraemer and O'Connell
and Trolley Inspector Joseph Crawford
were present, but did not address the
committee. beyond giving assent to
what Mr.. Sherrerd said.
John ]. Burleigh, third vice-presi-
dent of the Public Service, asked the
committee to amend the bill so that if
the trolley company were compelled in
any instance to make extensions or
connections under the proposed act
the franchise In such cases should not
be for less term than forty years.
This provision Is one of the Board
of Works strong points in the bill,
inasmuch as it gives the city power
to enforce desirable connections If II
and the Public Service do not agree.
The corporations committee gave no
intimation what its attitude would be
toward the bill

STAR WINS VICTORY
AGAINST MERGER BILL.
Showed Vicious Features OF
Fielder Measure.
IFrom a Staff Correspondent.

TRENTON, April 12.-The Fielder
railroad merger bill, which was killed
in the House yesterday, was tricky
and vicious measure that the Newark
STAR exposed at the beginning Of the
session.
The STAR pointed out that the bill
to merge the West Shore Railroad of
New Jersey with the New York Gem
trail was not the innocent little thing
that the Hudson county senator wanted
the law-makers to think. The House
re:lroad committee, in reporting the
bill unfavorabiy, not ony reb1ked the
Hudson senator but took the STARS
advice in acting against the bill, which
If enacted into law would put an end
to State control of the West Shore,
thereby allowing the New York Central,
which owns the West Shore, to run
that part of it's system in any way 1t
pleased.
Had the bill sought only to merge the
railroads, as Fielder repeatedly stated
it could have been accomplished by a
special act of the Legislature.

.GERAN BILL WILL
NOT BECOME LAW
UNTIL NEXT. WEEK
Committee Substitute Still Re,
tains "Geran' Title, Though
Record Is Author.
[Erom a stan cerresponaspt. !

TRENTON, April 12.--The Geran
bill, amended by the Senate elections
committee, will not become law till
next week.
The committee substitute for AS
sembly No. 175, as the measure is now
officially known, retains the intro
ducer's name for the reason that the
Republican majority in the Senate de-
sires that the responsibility for the
evils that the bill will eventually work
shall be placed where 1t belongs.
Is WiIson-Record Measure.
The Geran bill is a Wilson Record
measure, and it will never be known
as anything else. 1t was forced
through the House and the Senate, lnow
ready to do likewise. is trying to find
consolation and excuses in branding
1t as q Democratic measure
It's a lame excuse that certain Re-
publican senators who have announces
that they are going to vote for the
bill are offering to their constituents.
Law-makers, it is argued by many
here, are responsible for their own acts
and every legislator who gives his
vote to the Geran bill must stand or
fall by the consequences.
Bill Being Reprinted.
The revamped bill is being reprinted
and 1t is the program now to pass ii
finally on Monday night next With
the possible exception of Senator Hand.
Of Cape May, all the senators will sup
port the bill.
IL was said this morning that even
Hand might join the majority. but he
denied that he had any such intention.
IL is well known around the State
House that the conference on the bill
Monday night was enlivened by some
pretty sharp shooting on the part of
Edge and two or three other senators
who were in favor of ripping the bill
up the back" and making practically a
new and radically-ch measure of
1t, instead of merely remodeling it and
correcting its clerical features.
In fact, there was, IL is said. an al
most equal division of Republican
sentiment for and against the propo-
sition to make a new bill in every way
of 1t and in opposition to its reyolu-
tienary features.
Urged Conservatism.
But, as is declared. Senator Nichols
at critical moment urged conserva-
tism in dealing with the matter and
agreed with those senator's who argued
that the only way to fix finally and
effectively the political responsibility
for the Geran bill was to pass it sub
stantially as it came from the House
sponsored by Governor Wilson and his
Democratic followers.
1t was believed that as the result of
this course the people at the next cleo
tion would hold the Democratic party
for such revolutionary Legislation and
would emphatically condemn and over
rule 1t.

TRENTON, April l2.-The House to-

Mr.. Martin called the attention of the
speaker to the fact that 575 bills had

peared in the Senate. The House, he
continued, had acted upon rs Assem-

SENATE PASSES
BILL To PREVENT
CRAFT IN STATE
Measure Provides for Annual
Auditing of County, City and
Municipal Governments.
COUNTY COURT JUDGE
> TO NAME AUDITOR
Question of Expense Occasions
Lengthy Argument Before
Action Was Taken.
[From a staff Correspondent

TRENTON April 12-There has been
20 much graft" talk throughout the
State Of New Jersey, notably in Hud-
son and Bergen codnties, that the Sem
i've" bill
The measure, introduced by Senator
Fielder, of Hudson county, where amaz-
ing Irregularities are being disclosed
by Judge Swayze's probe, provides that
the account of county, city and munic-
ipal governments be annually audited
by an appointee of the judge of the
county court.
F'relinghuysen believed that the
auditing should be done through the
State auditors department. The bill
might be all right for cities, but 1t
would entail a large and unnecessary
annual expense on the smaller coun-
ties. he argued.
Fielder Not Pledged.
Fielder said he was not pledged to
any particular form of law, but de
was quite sure the work should be
deae. He believed that the auditor
appointed by the judge of the court
would not be partisan, but that care
would be taken to make the appoint
ment satisfactory to all people. The
expense need not necessarily be large
in the small counties. and in both
them end municipalities the results
would be satisfactory and worth the
cost
Nichols, of Cumberland, opposed the
bill on account of the large expense
1t would make and because there was
no demand for it in most of the ,couD-
ties.
He suggested that Fielder make his
bill apply to counties of the first class.
Fielder declined the suggestion. He
believed that the smaller municipah-
ties needed investigation as much as
the larger ones. The expense after the
first year would be comparatively nom
inal for auditing.
Freiing huysen Has Plan.
F'relinghuysen said 1t was a good
thing to open up to the public the con-
dition of county and municipal affairs.
but the bill would be improved if the
for an auditing by boards of freehold
ers, of by twenty-five citizens.
Fielder still contended that his bill
would prove to be satisfactory to the
taxpayers who paid the money and
wanted to know how it was spent.
The auditing could be done annually
and at fixed periods.
Nichols said that because the county
Of Hudson was rotten was no reason
why other counties should be or were,
and he failed to see, the need of an
annual expense for a county audit un-
less it was made on the application OF
the citizens of the county.
Frelinghuysen said that if the bill
was not absolutely mandatory in its ap-
plication to every county it would be
better received by the smaller counties.
He was in favor of the principle Of the
bill, but feared that it was too far
reaching in it's present form.
The objection of the smaller counties
was the annual expense. which might
be unnecessary.
The bill was passed IL to 4.

Seven Thousand French Wine
Growers Plant Red Flag Over
Damery City Hall.
RESENT GOVERNMENTS
DELIMITATION ORDER
Wholesale Destruction Follows
Removal of Territorial
Name Restriction.

CHALONS SUR MARINE, France,
April 12.-The champagne war which
has broken out in the wine district of
Marine. because of the Senate's action
in adopting a resolution favoring the
suppression of all territorial delimita-
tions in the champagne districts as
likely to provoke dissensions in vari-
Gus sections of France, has assumed a
serious aspect. The rioting threatens to
assume the proportions of the wide
spread disorders in the champagne dis
trict four years ago. which resulted in
the proclamation OF martial law.
The trouble in this department began
yesterday on the receipt of news from
Paris that the Senate had passed a
resolution in favor of the suppression
of all territorial delimtations of the
area in which wine can legally be des-
ignated as champagne.
Seven thousand wine growers left
here this morning, marching on the
Epernay, four miles distant, to destroy
the wine cellars there.
Bear Red Flag In March of Riot.
The manifestants were admirably or
ganized and were aroused to a pitch
of fervor in the justice of their cause.
During the progress of the advance
they sang revolutionary hymns and
waved red standards. This they did
to disown the government, which they
affirm, has abandoned them to ruin.
They declare the government had acted
as result of the steps taken by the
makers of inferior grades of wine.
The column had reached the town of
Ay at noon. Cooperating with al
other band which had reached Ay from
different direction, the rioters pro-
ceeded to Venteuil. where they de-
stroyed the huge wine presses. Troops
then dispersed the mob.
The attorney-generaI went to Ven
teuil by automobile today with the
object of investigating the situation,
but was unable to advance through
the streets because they were pilaJ
high with broken champagne bottles
Damery today is a picture of DESC
lation. The streets are literally run
ming with champagne mixed with mud
Within stones throw of the red ban

chants
PARIS. April 12.-The French govern
ment is disturbed over the riots IN the
champagne district of Marne. resulting
from the adoption of a resolution by
the Senate yesterday in favor of the
suppression of all territorial delimita-
tions.
Instructions have been sent 70 the
commanders of troops in the disturbed
region to preserve order and save prop
erty, but not to prevent orderly procss-
sions of the wine manifestants.
The Chamber of Deputies has not yet
decided the question OF delimiting the
champagne districts. but the measure
may be discussed by that body today.
EPERNAY France, April 12-The
remaining force of the wine-growers'
column which left Damery this morn
ing were stopped by troops at the town
of Ay, but later escaped through the
Gordon of soldiers and sacked and
burned two warehouses.
