Trying to Clear
Court Calendar

Judges William P. Martin and
Harry v. Osborne are hard at work
in an endeavor to clean up all crimi-
nal cases where prisoners are In jail
before the end of the present court
term, which ends June 81.
For the present week Judge os-
borne had no less than sixty-one
cases on his list, while Judge Martin
had over forty listed. In every in
stance Jail cases are given the pref
erence, the trials where prisoners are
on bail being postponed until next
fall.
Craig retracted a plea of not guilty
and pleaded non vult to a charge of
receiving 81 stolen from Henry San
ford on May II. Michael J. Kelly had
previously pleaded guilty to stealing
this money and turning it over to
Craig.
Cash to the amount of 81 seemed TO
figure strongly in the court today, as
Geralamo Benevitto, of Belleville,
pleaded guilty to stealing that amount
of money from Sadie Cohen, also of
Belleville. on April Is last.
The third cas- in which 81 figured
was before Judge Martin, where John
Kiesling. of East Orange, pleaded
guilty to embezzling that amount
from Lawrence Froelich, of 1876
Ferry street, on January 10, 1911.

WANT MORE TIME
TO SELL SURPLUS

In the Court OF Chancery at Tren-
ton today the Prudential Insurance
Company will make application for
an extension of the time limit in
which to dispose of its surplus hold
ings in other corporations. A law
passed FIVE years g required that
all insurance companies holding more
than twenty per cent. of the stock in
other companies get rid of such sur
plus within five years.
The Prudential has heavy holdings
In the Fidelity Trust Company, OF
Bank. which it has not as yet dis
posed of. The hve-year limit pre-
scribed by law expires July 1 Of this
year.
Chapter 10 of the laws of 1907 is
the act under which the stock in
other corporations must be disposed
of by the Prudential unless the chan
cellor, for good cause shown" and
after notice has been given to the
State commissioner of banking and
insurance, shall otherwise decree.
The act was one sof a series passed
by the Legislature of 1907 after the
upheaval caused by the investigation
into the insurance companies of New
York State by a special legislative
committee, of which the present SUI
preme Court Justice Hughes was the
guiding spirit as counselor. The pres
tige Mr.. Hughes gained in that In
vestigation caused him to be nomi-
mated for the Governorship of New
York, thus giving him his start in
political life. The Investigation into
the insurance companies of New Jer-
sey followed.
The same act provided that the
amount Of stock. held in any other
corporation by a life insurance COM
pany should not exceed 2 per cent.
of the assets of the life insurance
company. nor the amount invested in
the bonds of any other corporation
exceed 10 per cent. of the assets of
the life insurance company so invest
ing.
The law ~recites that If the chancel-
lor grants an extension of time for
the disposal of the surplus stock or
bonds held in other corporations by
the life insurance company applying
for 1t, the said stocks and bonds must
be disposed of within the additional
period for their sale granted by the
chancellor. which means, unless the
act Is repealed, that the Prudential
must ultimately sell its surplus hold
ings above the limit now allowed by
law.

there is not a bit of enthusiasm.
II Is noticeable in the hotel Hobbies
and on the streets hal there Is not a
trace of enthusiasm for Taft-not a

Roosevelt.
Roosevelt In Command.
While the hotel Hobbies and the
headquarters of State delegations
were crowded the managers we're be-
hind closed doors in committee rooms
doing energetic work. Roosevelt was
in command of his forces and could
not be approached except on cam
paign business.
Men hurriedly came and hurriedly
departed with orders. A Roosevelt
committeeman said to The Star rep
resentative:
There Is a whole staff of generals
In command of the Taft campaign, we
pow have only one, but he is
Napoleonic, ne has the genius of the
Corsioan for command with the cool
ness of Davoust and the dash of Ney.
Like Napoleon he has the enemy
guessing. They will find the sun of
Austerlitz blazing down on their dis
comf1ture tomorrow. for tomorrow
the fight will be settled for good and
the great Republican party will be
purged of the gross humors 1t has ac-
cumulated in half a century of almost
uninterrupted power" D.

SEALERS ARE
D~|SCOURTEOUS. CHARGE

Numerous storekeepers throughout
the county are complaining of the Ill
treatment received from the deputy
have been received. and yesterday the
matter was brought to the attention
of the weights and measures commit
tee of the Board of Freeholders.
Chief Sealer Arthur Harris stated
that the men had been given explicit
instructions to always present their
card and explain their errand before
beginning the operation of testing
scales and measures. He was surprised
to hear the charge hat there had been
instances when the men walked di-
rectly behind the counter. to the o n
~sternation of the dealer, who was
perhaps busy with customers, and
that they practically assumed charge
of the place in a high-handed man
ner. Complaints of that nature had
received by both Director Evans
and Freebooter Gilbert, although they
were inclined to believe that such oc-
c%urrences had been few. 1t was
agreed that a word of caution would
be sufficient to prevent future similar
instances.
Sealer Harris reported that during
the period from May 5 to June s the
four deputy sealers had made 1890
inspections. in which they had con-
fiscated twenty-nine scales, eleven
dry measures and twenty-one liquid
The number of stores WIS.,
tied was $50.
OF the 1854 scales tested 694 were
found correct, seventy-seven were
condemned and ffty-four adjusted.
OF 119 dry measures 10S were correct;
of 81 liquid measures forty-one were
correct; of 1911 counter measures 122
were correct and sixty-nine were adj
justed. Seven yard measures and
eight tapes were examined and found
correct.
Thirty-seven of LOOT dry

and of the 447 liquid measures sealed
in office twenty were condemned.

COLONEL KEEN ON
TRAIL OF VOTES
He Wins Many Over for His
Fight on Temporary
Craftsmanship.

CHICAGO, June 18.-All of Colonel
Roosevelt's political craft has been
brought into play in a last effort to
wean enough delegates over from the
Taft camp to insure control of the
convention. 1t was a day of wire
pulling.
The colonel's advisers assured him
he could depend on the word of the
Southern delegates VINO had an
nounced their conversion from the
Taft cause. but Roosevelt Is not
fooled by htfGi promises. He plainly
told his sanguIne chiefs he would
wait and see.
The actual fact is. so far as Roose-
welt is concerned. hal ne hopes to be
nominated. If the Taft delegates he
has talked to fail to align themselves
with his side when the convention
fight is on he will put 1t down simply
TO not luck. Then it will be time to
bolt
Hopeful Abont Craftsmanship.
If Roosevelt did not succeed IN
actually convincing the majority OF
1AIIS NOTLllleS tiht lhCy
vote for him for President, he did,
so 1t was given out at his
tiers, get a considerable number OF
them to promise they would sup
port him IN the fight over the tenn
porary Craftsmanship. This gave his
managers confidence to prophesy that
the colonel would beat Elihu Root.
AS to his conference with Chairman
Rosewater of the national committed
on Sunday night the colonel had no
word to offer. He declined to say II
they talked over the organization OF
the convention. Around the former
Presidents quarters the impression
prevailed hat the colonel sent Tor
Rosewater to warn him that he ex-
pected fair play.
The colonel, so the story goes, got
Governor Stubs, of Kansas, and
Governor Hadley, of Missouri, to
bring Rosewater in to see him. When
he had the Nebrc ska reactionary in
his room the colonel. it Is said, used
plain language in telling him he
would raise the hottest kind of a row
If Rosewater tried any sharp practises
in getting the convention under way.
Talks with suffragists.
The colonel's appearance in the
| E~lizabethan room was the signal for
a wild rush. Everybody tried TO
| squeeze in. The colonel stood in o
far corner of the room and the Roose-
welt delegates filed past. He had a
word for every of them. To two
women delegates from California he
remarked briskly:
1.-THE women OF California were the
| ones who first won me over to the
idea of woman suffrage. When they
| convinced me 1 cast all reserve aside
and went in for it,"
A male Californian Rooseveltian
whose sea in the convention was
taken away by the national commit
tee looked gloomy.
I'VE won't allow them to keep you
out" exclaimed the former President.
"We'n knock them out"
A fredericksburg would-be delegate
from Indiana told the colonel the
steam roller had "squashed" him.
well you look strong enough
STILL" rejoined the colonel. I'VE will
show them they cannot make way
with such naked theft. You can
count on it that we are going to see
that decency prevails"

New Jersey Delegate, with In

Confident.

Outcome of Chicago
Convention.
From a STAFF Correspondent Mt.

iAAOAA " 'hLA'
CHICAGO, June 1S.-There is no
longer any doubt that Theodore
Roosevelt will be nominated by the
Republican national convention. One
of the New Jersey delegates who has
been in conference daily with the
colonel and his closest advisers has
confded to the correspondent or
The Star information in his posses
sion that makes it certain that the
nomination of Roosevelt will be ef-
fected. If not on the first ballot, at
least before many votes ave been
taken.
THE confidence of Senator Dixon
Is not misplaced" said the Jersey
man referred to. Roosevelt has now
the majority of the delegates so well
IN hand thai it is absolutely impos-
slble to prevent his selection.
"The desertion of Taft by Timothy
7. of New York, Is only
one of the signs on the horizon. Ii
makes no difference who will be
chosen for the temporary chairman
shin whether Senator Root or a
Roosevelt man. 1t makes no olrrer-
ence either whether the temporary
roll will be made up from the dele
rates as passed upon by the national
committee or the COM
mittee, or as approved by the con-
yention itself, Roosevelt Will nave a
majority in my case.
Predicts a Stampede.
1.-THE nomination of Theodore Roose-
welt is more certain at This time than
was the nomination of William IL.
Taft on the eve of the Republican
national convention four years ago.
"Before the result of the ballot on
which Roosevelt will be nominated ID
announced there will be a mad STAN
pede to his standard.
"There are hundreds of delegates to
The convention who are only nomi-
nally for Taft-they are for Roosevelt
ut heart. There will be no bolt I'M
less the Taft men bolt. here Will be
no need of organizing a ~onventio

the convention will be for Roosevelt.

The Star man of his informant. =
"When Roosevelt is nominated" ne
replied. "the Taft leaders will seek
their tents or cave of Adullam.
