Renewed Fighting in Mexico.

The armistice declared in Mexi-
co came to an end May 6, peace
negotiations having failed, al
though President Diaz finally
consented to abdicate as soon as
peace could be restored, and Ma
dero, the insurgent leader, ex-
pressed a willingness to renew the
armistice in order tkat negotiations
could be continued. President
Diaz has expressed his determina-
ton not to resign while there is a
possibility of leaving his country
in state of anarchy, while on the
other hand the insurgents refuse
to lay down their arms unless their
demand that Diaz resign is con-
ceded.
On May 8, the insurgent troops
beseiging uarez disre ,arded their
leaders orders and made an at
tack on the federal troops, 80 being
killed on both sides during the
day, many bullets crossing the
line into American tel ritory, five
persons being killed in Ell Paso,
Texas.

City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
made a report to the Board of Works
this afternoon on the proposal to estab-
lish a municipal ice plant in the Pc
quannock valley watershed, in which
he discourages the project for several
reasons.
The city engineer notes that the
Mountain Ice Company is now cutting
ice in the watershed, however, and sug-
gests that il the city can acquire its
property, which is on Echo Lake, the
ice storage houses might be retained
and the method of collection changed
to more sanitary one. the product to
be harvested there to be used as re-
serve in case of shortage or a squeeze
in prices to the consumers by the
wholesalers
Mr. Sherrerd points out that legisla-
tion would have to be obtained at Tren-
ton before the city could put the water
shed to the purpose of ice harvesting.
The report says:
Replying to your motion directing
the chief engineer to report on the
feasibility of arranging for the collec-
ton by the city of ice from the reser-
voirs in the watershed, the following

into her heart. she sent 1t into her

He says that at noon he would go to
the safe where the platinum was kept
and place q quantity In his pocket and
then go to q nearby saloon. where he
would hide 1t in tn washroom. On

'INTIMATES COERCION ON

Over Fares to Points Out
side the State.

E'he fiEiat between the New Jersey
Coumuters' Association and the Board
Of Public Utility Commissioners over
tha advance in rates to New York
resehed q crucial point today when the
board issued statement in Trenton
declaring that II would not be coerced
into the adoption of policy in which
Il believes that It has no jurisdiction"
m brief the statement is to the effect
tnst the law does not give the State
board the jurisdiction to adjust rates
from points IN New Jersey to New
YORK. The board contends that this
- q matter for the Interstate Com
snsrcs Commission to settle. The state
sxssrt IN part follows:
xAmieed 60 state.
ssTneve has undoubtedly arisen sur
psasA and disappointment that the act
which conferred on the board power In
certain cases to set just and reason
abas rates. including communication
rates, has been interpreted by the board
a. not givang It power over commuta-
zion rates from points in New Jersey
to New York city.
''Huch power over Communication rates
the law does confer upon this board, so
far es the journey is entirely within
tl1as State, and so far as rates so fixed
by taas board do not in effect burden
or interfere with interstate commerce..
Not only does the board l.nder the law
have power over rates for such pas
sengeY traffic, but the board has al
ready exercised such power, notably
in the case where the Public Service
Railway Company attempted in New
ark and vicinity TO abolish school chill
dren Communication tickets.
Hearings have been Aeld by the
Interstate Commission on complaints.
At such hearings the State has been
represented by it's attorney general, as
sisted by special counsel, with expert
knowledge of the subject. This board
has also been represented by one Of its
members In attendance at the hearings.
'But clearly the rate-fixing power
conferred upon the board applies to
such traffic as lies within the jurisdic-
tion of the State. If traffic from points
In New Jersey from New York city
was interstate commerce IN June, 1910,
it has not ceased to be interstate COM

Under cover of midnight darkness the

at a point between Block Island and
