PHELPS IS GIVEN
BRIEF RESPITE
FROM DEATH
Governor FOss Delays Execution
Three Days
AGAIN BEFORE COUNCIL
Governor Says That He Has Re-
quested Delay ain View of
Certain Circumstances"

Boston, Jan. 22.-At the request
of Gov Foss, Silas N. Phelps. the
Monroe Bridge murderer, whose
death by electrocution at the Charles
town state prison for the killing of
Deputy Sheriff Emmett F. Haskins,
is set for the present week, will not
be executed until after Wednesday,
and there is still a chance that his
sentence may be committed.
The electrocution was ordered to
take place during the week of Dec
ember 81. Gov. Foss granted res.
pite of IA days which advanced the
time of execution to the present
week. and Phelps could have been
put TO death by the prison officials
at any time after o'clock this
morning, but Warden Bridges has
received a letter from Gov. Foss in
which a request was made that the
execution be deferred until after
Wednesday, in view of certain cir
cumstances' which have arisen.
) AS the governors council, which
has the power of committing death
sentences, will meet on Wednesday,
it is inferred that Gov. Foss intends
at that time to present to the council
petition for Communication of SEN
sence. Such petition was reject
ed by the governor last week without
consultation with the council. but al
ter conferences with Maj. Thomas
l.. Walsh OF the governors staff and
w. A. Davenport, counsel for the
prisoner the governor is understood
TO have reached the determination TO
submit the matter to the council this
week

Washington, Jan 22.-The supreme

serious blow to the hopes of prohib-

state under the laws regulating In

The case was test case brought
by the Cook Brewing company Of
Cincinnati which had been stopped

Kentucky the railroads had refused
to transport the liquor.
The court holds that the case is

If it is decided not to abandon the
canal.
If abandonment through Newark is
decided upon, however, Mr.. Kane ad-
vocated the electrif1eation of the
stream from the Second river to
Phillipsburg. He sought to show
that the expense would be very
small. He was not prepared, how
ever, to furnish any figures on the
cost of the work when request was
made by Chairman Godfrey. The rea-
son that the canal is in such a bad
condition is because the city of New
ark has failed in it's duty. If the con-
ditions were as bad as were painted
where was the Board of Health? This
body should have kept the canal
clean by some means or other.
John i. O'Toole, publicity agent
for the Public Service Corporation,
presented to the commission letter
from Thomas n. McCarter, its presi-
dent, together. with considerable data
prepared by Mr.. Mccarter on the
abandonment proposition. The let
ter to the commission is as follows:
"As l am unable TO represent at
the hearing to be given in Newark
by your honorable commission ] take
this method of bringing to your at
tention the viewpoint portion of
the Morris canal bed for transporta-
ton purposes. ] enclose herewith
several copies of letter written to
Mayor aHussling by me on December
90 1910, which in part is a discussion
of this very subject.
During the two years that have
nearly elapsed since the writing of
this letter, a further study of the
problem has convinced me of the
truth of all that is said therein with
regard to the abandonment of the
Morris canal and the availability of
the portion of it within the city ol
Newark for transportation purposes,
and has also convinced me that it
would be both practicable and de-
sirable to extend this use of the
canal bed as far west as Paterson,
thus making it possible to operate in
the canal bed high-speed service be-
tween Newark and Paterson, and
possibly between Jersey City and
Paterson, in addition to the local
uses referred to in the enclosed let
ter.
IF the canal is abandoned and its
use for such purposes is authorized
by legislative authority, this corpora
ton Is willing to acquire title to the
bed of the canal between the Passaic
river and the city of Paterson for
the purposes indicated, provided it
can be so acquired at a reasonable
cost. 1t. is willing to pay a substan-
tial, but not an extortionate. price
for this right of way. 1t will then
cost large sum of money to equip
the canal for operation, which under
taking, however, the corporation is
prepared to assume"

Everett Colby. Progressive candi-

Reasons why the canal should not
be abandoned were set forth by Val

be taken over by the State, improved
and operated for the benefit of the
people. There are any number of
business men in the city, he said,
who, if they are assured that the
canal will not be abandoned, would
invest thousands of dollars in various
business enterprises along the canal
front. He recalled one instance of a
man who is willing to invest 100000
in an artificial ice plant on the canal

POLICE PROTECTION NOW
FIGURES IN CAMPAIGN

The East Orange mavoralty cam
paign received a new turn last night
when it was asserted on the stump
at one of the Bomeisler meetings by
John j. Caullet that insufficient police
protection seemed to be afforded the
far end of the Elmwood section, ana
that on Monday night a deputy
sheriff employed to guard property
had a hard fight and was forced to
shoot three times at a gang that
had thrown him down when he
sought to find out why they were
lettering in the neighborhood. and no
policeman appeared.
Later it was stated that a man
named Edward Riley had been en-
ployed to watch houses on the far end
of West street. near Hudson street.
and he was the man attacked.
