BETRAYED BY
FILE IN CELL

Efforts to escape from a cell in the
First precinct police station by picking
the lock with file. has resulted today
in the police unearthing a long criminal
record of John Miller, whose right
name, the police say, is George kopp
of 100 Mulberry street. Miller was ar
rested on a charge of petty larceny for
stealing razors from store on Market
street.
When arraigned before Judge Hahn,
Miller made several conflicting state
ments concerning his former residence
and Captain Ryan. of the precinct, re-
uuested that the man be held until his
record could be investigated. The po-
lice had found it di1scult to open Mil
ler's door and finally a crowbar and
several other heavy instruments had
to be brought into play to get the
prisoner out.
Later piece of steel fell from the
lock and a file was found in the cell.
This led the police to believe that
Miller is more than a petty thief. He
was taken to headquarters, where
Jacob Ruhl, police photographer,
Miller was first arrested in 1877 and
sentenced TO state FflSon ior fOpDery
in Union county.
Several other arrests and convictions
of Miller have been made. say the po-
lice, chief of which occurred in 1896.
when he was arrested in Brooklyn and
sentenced to twenty years for robbery.
1t is probable that the police vii
now charge Miller with attempted jail
breaking for tampering with the pre-
cinct cell lock- In the meantime the
police OF other cities are being COM
municated with to ascertain II Kopp.
alias Miller, is wanted for other crimes.

Fighting Skeeter
to Be Their Job

A representative bunch of citizens of
Essex county will have something to do
with the mosquitoes this year. There
won't be a mosquito anywhere near
your home, and it makes no difference
whether you live in Newark, South Or
ange OF Belleville, If the commission
appointed today by Chief Justice Will
lam S. Gummere does it's work
And that is to kill mosquitoes, and
they will have 100000 to do it with.
The commission consists of R. Heber
Breintnall. former Acknowledgement of
the National Guard of the State, and
Curtis R. Burnett, president of the
Newark Board of Trade, appointed for
the one-year term DR.. Frederick w.
Becker, of ATS Clinton avenue, and
James ]. Thompson, of 1879 Broad street,
Bloomfield, for the two-year term, and
DIR. Ralph H. Hunt, of 20 East Harri
son street, East Orange. and Spencer
Miller, of 217 Turrell avenue. South Or
ange, as the three-year term members.
The commission Will have, under the
law, a right to appoint secretary at
salary of $1,000 year, and also
number of superintendents OF the diff
ferent districts into which the county
is to be divided.
1t is probable that Mr.. Breintnall as
the first named member of the board,
will be made president of the body for
the first year.
The official name of the commission
appointed by the chief justice today is

mination Commission.

Plan Extension
of Central Ave.

BY the decision of the Board of
Works to extend Central avenue to
the Market street station of the Penn
sylvania railroad. in hopes of reliev-
ing traffic in Market street, the long
discussed question of trolley conges-
tion will be put UP to the council at its
next meeting, with request for an ap-
preparation of s1,235,0O0, the amount
necessary for the work.
The plan, backed by the Board of
Works.. is one which Commissioner
Charles r. Kraemer has long advocated.
A hundred schemes have been sug-
gested for the improvement of traffic
conditions at the Four Corners in the
past few years. Subways in Market
street. raised roadways and the con-
tinuation of Clinton street to the Penn
sylvania Railroad tracks were favorite
suggestions of the traffic cranks. A

this morning are being duplicated IN the

greater threatened devastation are
pouring in from scores of cities. Every
precaution is being taken along the

grow worse.
In the middle West floods are
growing momentarily more alarming.
Hundreds of square miles OF
Nebraska are practically buried

In case the Governor refuses abso-
lutely to withdraw Ford, and the SEN
ate stands pat and will not confirm
him. Lewis will hold over indefinitely.
1t Is said that the Republican sena-
tors refuse to confirm Ford because
they wish to keep Lewis in his pres
ent office. This story is said by some
to be absurd, in view of the fact that
Senator Edge made an appointment
with the Governor for conference. at
which he. President Prince and Sena-
tor Leavitt were present and the sub
ject thrashed out.
The committee of senators asked for
the conference. so that the Governor
would have time to appoint a man in
place of Ford. Had they wished to
favor Lewis they could have gone home
without confirming Ford. 1t is said

Analyses Human
Viscera in Court

CHICAGO, March 2s.-ChemicaI anal
ysis of a human stomach was directed
to be made today before the jury that
is trying Mrs. Louise Yermilya, ac-
cused of poisoning Richard T. Smith, a
railroad man. who died in her home in
March. 1911. The test is to be made in
open court by Professor Walter S.
Haines, TO demonstrate to the jurors
the method he employed in determining
that there was arsenic in the viscera of
Smith.
When Professor Haines resumed the
witness stand today he described the
effect of arsenical poisoning on the hui
man system.

that friends of Wilson are trying to
make 1t appear as If the Republicans
were playing game Of their own.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
say that their objection is to Ford, and
not because Ford is a Democrat, but
because they do not think he Is fitted
for the position.
Banking and Insurance Commis-
sioner Vivian M. Lewis gave out a
statement this afternon to the effect
that If for any reason the Senate re-
fused TO confirm the appointment of
Prof. Ford as his successor he would
resign his office on April Is. when his
term expires. This will either force
the Senate to confirm Ford of force
the governor to send In another name.
If he is turned down by the Senate,
Ford cannot be named ad Interim.

OF all the conquerors that have
come to Rome no one has gained such
complete victory as tea has won in
the Italian capital. Twenty years age
the British and American tourists who
came to Rome we're catered to in the
matter of tea in a rather shamefaced
manner in the strangers quarter near
the Piazza di Spagna, and English

seen in few windows hard by Cook
& Sons offices.
Nowadays the palm lounges of the
Grand and the Excelsior hotels at tea
time are two of the sights of Rome,
for all Roman society drinks tea
abroad in the afternoons, and there
are as many uniforms at o'clock in
the big hotels as there are at shutdown
on band days on the Pincan hill. All
the big pastry cooks shops in the
Corso and the other principal streets
now have Afternoon Tea" in gold
letters on their plate glass windows.
