OPERATOR IN
SEASHELL HOUSE
LOSES LICENSE
Head of Bureau of COmbustibIes
Says Mans Inattention
Caused Fire in Theatre.

Captain c. Albert Gasser, superin-
tendent of the bureau Of combustibles
and fire risks, today revoked the IL
cense of John Maryland, SO Warren
street, the operator in the Seashell
moving picture theatre at 2S0 Market
street, in which the fire occurred last
night. He will be permitted to work
tonight and tomorrow night, so as not
to inconvenience the owners of the
theatre, but thereafter he will have no
right to operate film roles in this city.
The fire last night was causedSby the
breaking of a brittle film which jumped
to the lamp house. and caught fire.
With the help of John Duffy and Louis
Foss the operator extinguished the
flames while the 200 persons in the
audience quietly left the theatre. There
was no panic or sign of one.
Because of the vigilance of the bu-
reau of combustibles with regard to
hre regulations the theatre was
equipped with sufficient exits to permit
of a quiet departure.
Curiously enough it was only yester-
day that the operator, John Maryland,
was called before CAPTAIN Gasser and
admonished to be very careful. While
making INSPECTIONS on Saturday night
inspector Hoppe found pieces of film
on the floor in the booth of the Market
street theatre He Immediately told
tho operator to be more careful in the
future, and hat he would have to ap-
pear before the superintendent to ex-
plain WHY his booth was not free of
loose films, Yesterday Cartain GaSser
warned the man, and very emphatica ly
told him that the place must be kept
clean and all the rules of the depart
ment must be observed.
This morning an investigation into
the cause of the fire showed that the
film broke while there were three per-
sons in the booth, whereas onIy two
are permitted in the place at one time.
Although it is possible that a film may
break at any time. 1t is, nevertheless
true, says Captain Gasser, that if a
man devoted his attention to nothing
but h machine the breaking of a film
would be noticed before it caught fire.
At the time the film broke. it is said,
the singer of the treatre was talking
with the operator and diverting his at
tention from the machine.
Had it no been for the constant in
spection of these theatres by the de-
partment, and the many safeguards in
case of fire. introduced by the depart
ment, it is believed that the blaze last
night might have resulted in panic and
loss of life.
Those acquainted with moving pic
ture houses say that the orderly man
ner in which the reople left the theatre
last night, n the speed with which
the fire was put out were a practical
demonstration of the workings of the
rules of the bureau of combustibles.
The loss was trihing.

CHARGE AGAINST FEE

Charged with ~assaulting his father,
Raymond Fee, of 229 Academy street,
was today arraigned at the Fourth
Precinct Police Court and held in $500
tail for a hearing tomorrow.

Fee was taken to the hospital, where II
was said that he may have a fractured
skull. although ne will " After
his wounds were dressed he got out in
spite of the remonstrance of the hos

Swede Killed Self in Jersey
Lodging House After Los
ing 10000.

DOVER, April 21.-A dental bridge
found in a roam In a Brooklyn lodging
house that had been occupied by a man
who committed suicide here two years
ago has just served to identity he
suicide. A dentist in Stockholm, Swed-
en-, TO whom the bridge was sent by the
Swedish consul in New York, recog-
nized it as a piece of work done for
Berent Edward Collander. son of a
wealthy cotton manufacturer of Stock
holm.
A representative of the Swedish con-
sulate had the body exhumed here this
week and clinched the identification by
locating a small scar described By the
dentist. Collander's relatives say that
he left Stockholm with 100000 in cash.
The discovery that he had beer so
we'll supplied with cash upon leaving
Sweden has given rise to the theory
that Collander was robbed.
Collander, 1t is now believed, was
probably robbed or swindled of the

meeting of the Gloucester County
Board of Freeholders yesterday bills
created through the rounding up of the
violators of the excise law by the Law
and Order Society, principa ly in the
Glasboro hotel license cases. amounting
to over $1,000, were paid. Some of the
members raised objections, saying that
the prosecutor should call a halt on the
expenditures. Prosecutor Rogers told
the board that he was not compelled to

REFUSES TO LET
LOR|MER PRObERS
SEE. BANK BOOKS
TiIden Offers to Allow One In
vestigator to Inspect Acc
counts, However.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 21.-After
hearing the testimony of former United
States Senator A. j. Hopkins and OF
William Burgess, Of Duluth. Mimi, the
Illinois Senate bribery investisa ing
committee stopped its p~roceedin.s to
try to decide what should be done
about the refusal of Edward 1iiden. a
Chicago meat packer and banker to
produce his bank books before the
committee. No decision was reaeh-d.
Tilden, who had been mentioned as
alleged treasurer of a fund said to
nave been raised to help elect VII am
Lorimer to the United States Senate,
last week denied all knowledge of such
a fund. He was under subpoena to
produce his banking in per-
son before the committee today. In
stead, he tent a lawyer. The lawyer
read an affidavit and letter to the COM
mittee from MIR. Tilden. The afi lavit
said that Mr.. Tilden knew absolu ely
nothing, and his bank accounts showed
nothing touching directly or indirectly
upon the election of Senator Lorimer.
Would Allow One to See Books.
The letter stated that Mr.. Tilden
would ALLOW one member of the COM
mittee to examine his bank accounts
In confidence. provided Tilden be al
lowed to name such member of the
committee.
The biggest surprise of the day was
the testimony of Burgess, an electrical
contractor of Duluth. Burgess testified
that In March. 1911, P. F. Wiehe,
brother-ln-laW of Edward Hines. de-
clared that he (Wiehe) subscribed
$1,000 to a jackpot used to effect the
election of Lorimer. Burgess said that
this conversation took place aboard the
Winnipeg Flyer in the smoking com-
partment of a sleeping car where the
two men were talking. He said ne
thought that thu only other person
present was a man from Regina, Can.

WANTS 100000
FOR MORR|STOWN
SEWER He BUILT
Municipality, Sued for Amount,
Says $4,000 Ought to
Satisfy Contractor.

A mass of facts and figures was pre-
sented before former Judge Francis
Child. in his office in the Prudential
building, today. in connection with the
suit brought by Antonio Costa. Of Or
ange, against the town Of Morristown,
to on his contract for work on
the sewer system of the iast-named
municipality. Testimony by experts
and engineers to straighten out the
figures involved was also taken.
There is a vast difference between
what Costa says he entitled to and
what Morristown says he ought to
have. Costa claims. and says he can
prove it. that the job is worth $50. 00o,
while the town declares that $25, 600
would cover his bill. Costa first brought
the suit in the Supreme Court Circuit
and then. because of the dispute over
the multitude of items involved. it was
referred to former Judge Child for q
hearing as referee.
Say HIS Didn't Finish job In Time.
Besides the amount in dispute. an
other point is that according to the
Morristown authorities Costa. instead
Of finishing the job within the specified
time. took three or four more years
than necessary on IL. The first spade
full of dirt was thrown up July 8. 1907.
and so, the Morristown people say. one
of the terms of the agreement is that
the job was to be done in a year.

town were Clyde Potts. OF M~orristown.

GOETHAIS IS OPTIMISTIC ON
 COMPLETION OF GREAT CANAL

may give an illustrated lantern slide lecture, character of the work and de-
 scriptive scenery in and about the canal. It Is suggested such a lecture would facilitate canal legislation.
 The cost of the canal. the machine shops at Balboa, the Pacific terminal. the coaling stations at Colon the At
 lantic and Pacific terminals and other
 supply stations are all included in Colonel Goethal's estimate of S340,000,- 900 for the entire cost of the great waterway He also believes 1t will be the estimated limit of cost on the canal.
 It Is essential. Colonel Goethals holds. | that the government control the canal supply stations, so as to prevent pri-
 vate interests by monopolization of this supply indirectly to control the operation of the canal through the rates for fuel. Negotiations are all ready under way by certain coal com
 panies, he said, looking to the acquire
 ment of land for coal docks. Colonel Goethals also urged the ne-
 cessity for the present Congress fix
 ing the tolls on the ground that the worlds shipping interests demanded at
 least IS months notice of the rates. The
 International Navigation congress, which meets in London In June. for the
 purpose of readjusting world rates, will probably take up the question of the canal and Goethals declared 1t imper
 alive that at that time they have in-
 formation as to charges to be made by the government.

Washington, February 11.--tSpecial) Col. George w. Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama canal. said today the canal would be completed by September l. 1913. at cost of $3so,08o,ooo.
 This is two years ahead of all earlier estimates for completion of the canal and fully $50. 100000 less than many engineers have figured as the total cost as
 Because of the early completion of the canal, Colonel Goethals urged the House committee on commerce to pre- pare legislation under which can be fixed shipping tolls for passage of ves- sels through the waterway.
 President Taft has made similar rec concentrations and bills for this pur- pose have been presented by Senator Flint and Chairman Mann of the House committee, each of which gives the President authority to fix. or designate maximum charge.
 Colonel Goethals could not say what would be a fair charge, but thought &1 per net ton of a vessel would be a heavy tax on vessels using the canal, but would give the trans continental rail- roads competition on freight from New York to San Francisco.
 Plans are on foot to turn the hall of the House of Representatives over to Colonel Goethals Monday night that he

CONSPIRACY CHARGE
 MADE IN RATE CASE

Washington, February 11.-An inquiry instituted by the Pennsylvania railroad is declared to be the cause of proposed advance in the freight rates on coal in tended to be shipped from West Virginia and Kentucky fields to ports on the lake. The declaration Is made In complaint filed with the interstate commerce com mission today by the Columbus Iron and Steel company of Columbus O.. and ayers that the attempt to increase the rates on flake coal" due to a conspiracy, "solely the result of an illegal combination and agreement" is to drive the coal mines along railways operating in southern West Virginia out of the lake coal mar ket.
 It is alleged that the officials of the Kanawha and Michigan were coerced into making the proposed increase by the Pennsylvania railroad and other lines op- erating in eastern Ohio. The increase, which is approximately 9k cents ton. has been suspended by the commission pending an inquiry into the situation.

 Republicans Against Treaty
 It can be stated positively that there are not 25 republican members of the House who are enthusiastically for the Presidents policy But if this Is the sit uation in the House, 1t is doubly empha- sized in the Senate. and the fact that half the republicans of the ways and means committee are openly out against reef procity gives to the republican members of the Senate finance committee an addi- tional warrant to smother the bill right up to adjournment.
 As matters stand today, the President has got to lean to democratic Congress for favorable solution of Canadian reel procity In a Congress controlled by hia own party associates the vote discloses his repudiation. But in some quarters there is little sympathy for tho President. There Is a suspicion that his Canadian reciprocity propaganda owes its being u, a political desire to rob the democrats of the fruits of last November's victory Ii the President wins. 1t Is after all bitter fruit, for the vote in the ways and means committee this morning is,a sample of 1t.
