Mr.. Braun Wires City Counsel
Nugent He Engaged ESQ
Baltimore Rooms.

A dispatch from Baltimore, received
today by City Counsel James r. MI
gent, will be read with varied emo
tons by various representatives or
New Jersey Democracy. The telegram
is from Valentine Braun and he SENDS
the news that he has engaged $50
rooms in the Rennert, probably the
finest hotel in Baltimore. Two hum
dred of these rooms are for Essex
county men and fifty for those from
| other parts of the state. In addition
to this fifteen others were engaged
Sunday at the Emerson. Naturally,
the anti Wilson forces are happy. But
are the pro- Wilson men at all bliss
ful?
OF course, it is understood that the
mighty army of men to occupy so
many rooms will do so when making
their headquarters in Baltimore during
the Democratic national convention. to
be held in that city on June 20. be II
also understood that Mr.. Braun has
practically cleaned up all the hotei ac-
c~ommodations left in Baltimore, and IT
now seems that Chairman Edwaro Il.
Grosscup, of the State Democratlc
Committee, will have to build a notei
of his own. or live in households. II he
wants a Wilson delegation In Baltl-
more at the crucial moment. AS yet, 1t
Is reported, Mr.. Grosscup has made no
arrangement for rooms. and 1t is ex-
tremely likely hat his men VIII be lett
out in the cold, as they were IN wash
ington. where they failed to make con-
nections with the much-coVete jack
son Day dinner tickets. 1t VIII be re-
membered that they had a banquet OF
their own in the capital, ana IL has
been suggested that it they cannot get
hotel space in Baltimore they may hold
a separate little convention of their
own In some other city,
Richard d. Franz, treasurer of the
county committee, is with Mr.. Braun to
see that the very best rooms are got
ten. Mr.. Franz is we'll acquainted with
Baltimore and knows the ms n outs
of il. II is understood tina the con
tract for the rooms has already oec'
drawn and a deposit paid.
The party that will go TO Baltiinoi
Monday, June "a, to be gone until TT
day of that week, will be led by Noss
Band and will go in special trains o
the PENNSYLVANIA. Everything is s
arranged that the trip could be mac
at once.
The tickets for the convention excur
sion will be distributed throughout III
districts in the city and the county i
proportion to the Democratic vote
cast, so that each section may nave 1
square deal.
Rooms in Baltimore are scarce as
hens teeth. Sunday it was found tina
Mack's men, from New York, had COB
bled up a goodly number, and were
still on the alert for more. That made
the Essex county men hustle. ThS
delegation returned Sunday to tall
things over, n Franz and Braun left
here yesterday to finish the job.

GRAND JURY
IS CHARGED
ON MURDERS
Judge Martin Instructs Body Re-
garding Finding indictments
in Homicide Cases.

rt,lge William p. Martin today
lri..n, charged the second December
arau1 Jury. which is also the second
ono drawn by Sheriff John F. Mona
han, after the body of % men had
been sworn in by County Clerk Johh
r. Woolston.
Judge Martin referred to the fact
that the grand jury would nave sew
eral cases of homicide to investigate
referring to the meadow and South
Orange mysteries, though not referring
to them by name. He said in part:
THE last grand jury performed it's
work so well that there are not many
cases to come before you gentlemen
who nave just been sworn in.
I'm view of the fact that you may
have several homicide cases to investi-
gate, 1t may be the duty of the court
TO advise you that murder in the first
degree is an act that aceomplishes the
actGharged when 1t Is wilfully and de-
p~remeditated and committed
With malice a~forethought. Second-de-
Gree murder is where killing is COM
mitted without the deliberation or pre-
meditation tina marks first-degree
murder. Second-degree murder can be
committed in the heat of a sudden pas
sion without any forethought by the
person committing the act.
"Manslaughter is a killing committed
when intent is missing. but where a
reckless disregard of human life is
shown. Your indictment should, how
ever, in every case be for murder,
leaving it to the petit jury in the trial
of the case to determine the degree"
