AGED WIT KEEPS
COURT IN R0ARS

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Steel Trust
lawyers met their match yesterday in
John w. Stevenson, jr., who told on the
stand how his tinplate company went into
the trust.
Stevenson, a rugged, white-whiskered
individual, said to be a relative of Robert
Louis Stevenson. and a brother of
Danny" Stevenson, Lord Provost of
Glasgow, kept everybody, including the In
vestigators, In roars of laughter. He has
a gentle vocal burr and the keen wit of
his native land.
Everybody forgot 1t was supposed to be
a judicial hearing. Indeed, 1t seemed
more like an afternoon with Harry Lauder
as the witness parted with his inqulsitors
and now and then placed on record some
telling bit of evidence wrapped in words
that brought a hearty laugh.
Stevenson told of the days Of fortune
making, when he built up the Sharon
Steel Company, the Newcastle Wire Nail
Company, the Shenango Valley Tinplate
Company, which he handed to the Amer
lean I1nplate Company for a million and
a half dollars, and the Newcastle Sheet
and Tinplate Company, which he turned
over for a million, and of various other
companies he organized.
He said he was practically the pioneer
in the tinplate business in this country,
when $11, 900, 900 worth of tinplate was
being imported each year.
The witness described a scene in a
hotel when the members of the
pool" once met to fix prices. They
were all in a room, he said, and had
agreed to fx the price of wire nails at
SIS a keg While the meeting was In
progress Frank Baackes, of the Ameri-
can Tinplate Company, excused himself
for a moment.
"I followed him downstairs, and wud
ye believe 1t, the telegraph girl mistook
me for him and showing me a disptach
the laddie had just written aske me
one of the wurds was. That man
had brukken his pledge even then and
was wiring his concern to make the price
Of nails $1.40."

GOVERNOR HAS NO
CHANCE, He SAYS

James R. Nugent, city counsel, In an
address last night declared that Wilson
was practically out of the running as a
presidential possibility, and that his fol-
lowers continued to make a noise to
bring notice to their n~onsensical and.
The address was made at a mass-meeting
of the Monahan Democratic Club at 209
Ferry street. and his remarks were re-
ceived with applause.
Sheriff Monahan called the meeting to
order and advised all the men to vote
at the primaries. He then took advan-
tage of what he called his first oppor-
tunity to do SO and thanked his friends
for their support while he was running
for office. The sheriff then introduced
John A. Donnelly, president Of the oCm-
mon Council. as permanent chairman Of
the meeting.
Short addresses were delivered by
Mayor Hauss1tng, Representative q. w.
Townsend, of Montclair; Representadve
Walter I. Mccoy, Commissioner Patrick
H. Ryan, Of the Board OF Works; City
Auditor James A. Rowe and John Gaven-
Each speaker was received with trc-
mendous applause. which was doubled
whom Sheriff Monahan introduced Mr..
Nugent.
''The results Of primary elections in
other States" said Mr.. Nugent, make 1t
apparent that Woodrow Wilson has been
eliminated as q Presidential candidate.
Yet some of his followers still persist in
shouting for him. Mr.. Wilson is like the
animal whose name lie spelled c-h-a-m-e-
leon, which is constantly changing its
| colors. He is constantly changing his
ideas. He did not support the Demo
cratic ticket In 1908 or 1909, and some of
the people in Mercer County are still in
doubt whether he ever voted before he
ran for Governor.
Organization is necessary in the
home. in business, in church and IN
politics. Therefore we should stick to
our organizations in order to uphold the
Constitution. Mr.. Wilson, of course. has
demonstrated in his writings and public
actions that he is a Federalist and not
a Democrat and that he does not think
much. of the Constitution of the United
States. In his writings he says the
greatest figure in American history was
Alexander Hamilton. He has character
zied Jackson as not being a true Demo-
crat. I often wonder, since looking int
Mr.. Wilson'S character. how he ever
dubbed himself a Democrat.
II repeat that Wilson has been elm
mated from the race and wish to add
that his followers continue to make noise
because they want to impress upon you
what a nonsensicai stand they are TAX
Ing"
Mr.. Nugent then confined his remarks
to the many good things Mayor Hauss-
ling and the rest Of the Democratic ad-
ministration have done in Newark.
He said that his connection with the
Democratic organisation In the county
has been an executive one and his work
has prevented him from taking the plat

hopeless to ecu IN instructed delega-
ton. accepted an amendment which gave
the New Jersey man eight instructed
delegates. but who after the first ballot
at the national convention will be bound
to the unit rule If the remaining two
~thirds-sixteen delegates-decide to cast
the entire Virginia vote for some other
candidate.
The Wilson delegates did not wake up
to the fact that in accepting the sup
posed compromise they were losing the
vote of Virginia for their candidate until
after the vote was taken and the result
announced.
Sixteen of the twenty-four delegates
elected are opposed to Woodrow Wilson
first, last and all the time. These six
teen delegates will control the entire
Virginia delegation after the first ballot
at Baltimore. Wilson cannot get more
than eight of the twenty-four votes, and
after the first ballot If he falls to re-
ceive the nomination the entire Virginia
delegation will be lost to him.

GIRLS WORK ON

HACKENSACK, May 24-The agitation
In favor of cheaper graduation gowns is
rapidly spreading, and 1t Is now quite
probable that inexpensive gowns will be

In Hackensack the question is still I'M
der discussion, Supervising Principal
Stark stating today that the matter has
been left entirely with the pupils, but he
thought that a simpler costume will be
adopted this time.
The young ladies of the graduating
class Of the Park Ridge Htgh school are
very busy these days making the inex-
pensive lawn dresses which they unani-
mously determined was the proper thing
to wear at the commencement exercises
on Jun 20, and the expense of which

WOMAN'S ERROR
CAUSED BOYS DEATH

V1NELAND, May H.-The committee
probing the death of Elijah zuckerman,
II years old, an inmate of the Training
School for Feeble-Minded Boys and Girls,
yesterday reported that Mrs. Smith, an
%attendent, did not exercise sufficient care
while zuckerman was given a bath. He
died as a result of scalds he received
while under the shower.
Mrs. Smith will, however, be retained.
She swore at the investigation that the
water for the bath was tested and the
committee decided that the valves had

Mrs. Zuckerman, the boys mother, a
well-to-do widow of Brooklyn, was not
present at the investigation.

London, Jan l6.-Most of the active
politicians having now returned to Dub

House rule campaign is becoming more
acute every day. During the last few
weeks the Unionists have made much
use of the recent papal decree forbid
ding Catholics under pain Of excommuni-
cation to summon ecclesiastics before
the lay tribunals. Dr. Patrick O'Don-
nell, Roman Catholic bishop OF Raphoe,
has now followed Archbishop Walsh of
Dublin in expressing the opinion that
tie papal decree does not apply to
Ireland. John Dillon and John Red

yesterday gave out statements in re-

Some Believe Wilson's Presi-
dental Aspirations Doomed
BY WATTERSON'S STATEMENT
But Governor, 1t Is Said, Will Reply
Soon--Champ Clark's Advocates Joyous
Over Rumpus Caused by Wilson's
Reputation of Harvey's Support.

| Washington. Jan l0.-Democratic po-
liteal circles are deeply stirred by tho
statement given out by Col Henry Wat
| terson, the veteran Kentucky editor, in
which he reveals the true inwardness OF
the break between Governor Woodrow
| Wilson and Col. George Harvey OF Har-
per's Weekly, and in addition attacks
Wilson's fitness for the presidency.
The fact that there was "A break be-
tween Wilson and Harvey has been
known here for weeks. 1t was known
at the time of the meeting of the Demo-
cratic national committee. The details
were not known. however, until Col.
Watterson's statement was made public.
The whole affair, including the reports
concerning the action of Regain in Wis
cousin, and Dahlman in Nebraska against
Wilson, has caused furore among Demo-
Gratis. Opinion is divided as to the ulti-
mate effect. Those hostile to Wilson
predict it win be fatal to his nomination
hopes. His admirers, on the other hand,
say he did the right thing; that Col.
Harvey was touting Wilson as his pro-
tege, and that the governor could do
nothing else when the matter was put
up to him than to say that he did not
approve of it.
1t is reported that an early statement
from the Wilson camp win soon be forth,
coming. Wilson leaders say they appre
cate that the series Of occurrences will
be made the excuse for bitter attacks
on him. On the other hand, they say he
will gain friends in quarters not friend
~ to the policies Of Harper's Weekly
and not disposed TO pay much attention
to the wishes of Col. Watterson.
Champ Clarks friends are delighted
over what has occurred. They say that
Clark more than ever is the logical can
didate.

Recommendations

May Supply the 100000 for
Which the President
Asks.

Washington, Jan. l9.-The Democrats
Of the House are going slow in the
matter Of either condemning or prals-
ing the presidents message on economy
and efficiency and it is improbable that
any definite opinion will be expressed
till the report of the committee, now
in the hands of the printer, is made
available. Representative Fitzgerald,
chairman of the committee on appropri-
atoms, pointed out yesterday morning
that he was instrumental in having the
Cleveland board continued last year, and,
while he does not want to commit him
self, it is apparent that he is not hos
tile, to say the least. In short, Mr..
Fitzgerald, as well as other members of
the majority party, will give the COM
mission fair show, and it is not at all
impossible that they may conclude to
appropriate. the necessary 100000 asked
for by the president.
