tONGRESSMAN'S LIFELESS
BODY FOUND ON BRIDGE

WASHINGTON June 11.-Rep.
Robert c. Wickliffe, of the Sixth
Louisiana district, was instantly
killed here today on the railroad
bridge which spans the Potomac river
Just south OF Washington. His body
was seen by members OF the train
crew on Southern Railway train,
|crumpled up about two feet from the
track. Whether he was struck by this
train and killed or fell from one OF
the platforms, police have as yet been
unable to ascertain.
The victims identity was not made
known until after his pockets were
searched, cards and letters indicating
he was the congressman. Because
the railroad bridge is In a deserted
part OF the suburbs, police believe
Wickliffe fell from one OF the cars.
Mrs. Wickliffe, unaware OF her hus-
bands death, having left her home
early today, was in the members gal
lery when the house convened. When
Rep. Broussard, of Louisiana, an
nounced his colleagues death, Mrs.
Wickliffe tainted from the shock, and
had to be carried out of the gallery
to the speakers private office. Bust
ness on the floor was temporarily sus-
pended

II have no definite information OF

seems TO indicate that something OF

other reason to account for the de-

The company, however, so far as
the operating end is concerned. Is In
better shape than 1t has been since
Its organization. We have been pay
ing off our indebtedness, and We have
been turning our assets into liquid
form rapidly within the past few
weeks.
1T is possible that a reorganization
will be effected on a basis which VIII
wipe out the common stock altogeth-
err, reduce the present preferred stock
TO be common stock, or possibly sec
ond preferred, and make the notes
which have been issued, preferred
stock. The common stock repre-
sents practically no actual investment
anyway. II is simply a capitalize.
ton OF speculative possibilities. II Is
not exactly a reorganization that the
company needs, but a regeneration.
AN assessment may be levied as
a part OF the reorganization scheme
but 1t cannot be done without the
consent OF the stockholders as the
stock is worcestershire.
"A committee of bankers who re.
Gently examined the property, found
that the actual assets behind the pre-
ferred stock amounted to $lO6 to viz

praised at their going value.
THE management OF the company
has plans which will effect great
economies in operation when they are
under way. There Will be a rear
rangement OF the line and conflicting
models will be dropped out. Much
has been done along this line al
ready 1t Is probable that the Column
bia plant in Hartford, will be used
for the manufacture Of axles only,
and other plants will be devoted to
special lines to bring about econo-
mics. The company is likely to drop
the high-priced lines which have not
been very profitable for any manu-
facturers recently, and stick to mod

is DELAYING
PLANK ROAD
Evans Declares Essex Is Will
ing to Make Necessary
Repairs.

Walter A. Evans, director of the
Board of Freeholders, said today that
Essex county was ready and willing
to do anything possible to put the
Plank road in shape for traffic. The
delay Is entirely with Hudson county.
asserted MT. Evans
81 do not intend to waste any time
on the Plank road proposition" said
Mr.. Evans today Essex county has
money enough in its Plank road fund
to provide for its share of temporary
plank pavement ON the north side of
the road between the two bridges. My
plan is TO lay a roadway twenty feet
wide, where the roadbed is not yet
settled.
1T would cost about $4,000, and Es-
sex county has $4,000 available. Hud-
son county claims 1t has no money to
use for this purpose. AS soon as the
Legislature convenes I intend to ask
for legislation that will enable us to
issue $4,000 worth of temporary bonds
and go ahead with the work
This will relieve the present condi-
tion and will also help to get the new
part of the roadway, the north side,
in shape for final paving. The south
side will not sink or change it's level
as 1t is built on the old roadbed and
has retaining wall"

Nation MOurns Death of One of
Its Most Popular Naval
Heroes.

WASHINGTON Jan. 4.-Most of Of
fetal Washington did not learn of the
sudden demise last evening of Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans until today.
1t caused a great shock and many
were the expressions of sorrow and of
sympathy for the aged wife and family
of the brave old sailor. BY telegraph
and by mail came condolences, and
many high officials OF both army and
navy, besides other prominent officials,
called at the family residence and left
cards.
There will be services at ESQ o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at All Souls Uni
tartan Church here, which President
Taft attends. The pall-bearers have
not yet been selected, but Will be
chosen from among the naval officers
who had served under Admiral Evans.
The funeral cortege will be composed
of four companies Of marines, two or
three companies of bluejackets from
the Washington navy yard, one battery
of artillery from the Washington navy
yard and the entire battalion of mid
shpmen from the Naval Academy at

The interment will take place at the

which the deceased admiral himself
selected several years ago.

MRS. KUHNE
LOSES FIGHT
AGAINSTCITY
Widow of Dead Animal" Col
lector Fails to Recover $l3,-
$3.50 License Fees.

Judge Adams today granted a nom
suit In the case of Mrs. Enmie kuhne
as administrators of her husbands es-
tate against the city to recover $13,-
$3.50 license fees alleged to have been
paid under duress for the privilege of
being Newark's licensed dead animal
collector.
City Counsel James r.. Nugent and
City Attorney Herbert Boggs argued
for the city and Henry III. Snedeker for
the estate.
In his decision Judge Adams re-
viewed the case and held that
Andrew G.. Kuhne had enjoyed all the
advantages of the business for ten
years, and that both the city and
Kuhne had already been allowed their
full rights. 'As to the charge of al
legged duress." he said, Il fail to dis
cover that there was any"
The nom suit is practically a victory
for the city, since the plaintiff failed to
recover.
In 1898 Kuhne was granted a license
for five years. This was renewed in
1903 and again in 1908. In 1909, how
ever, the city discovered that the or
dinance under which the right had
been granted was invalid.
City Counsel James r. Nugent, when
asked about the charge made during
the hearing yesterday that he had
used coercion or "duress'' to force
Kuhne to dispose of his contract
smiled and simply remarked. IT'S all
rot. That's all there is to it. l was
simply looking after the interests of
the city"
