POLICE SEEK
MISSING GIRL

After the failure of detectives to
solve the mysterious disappearance of
pretty 17-year-old Elise Nicholas. a
cousin of Senator John w. Daniel Of
Virginia, who vanished in New York
four weeks ago, general alarm has
been sent out in an effort to find out
what became of the girl.
The secret search for her was in
stituted by James C. Warwick of
South Orange, an uncle of Miss Nicho-
las. At the special request of Senator
Jam IS A. O'Gorman, whose aid was en-
listed by Mr.. Warwick, detectives have
thoroughly searched New York city.
Miss Nicholas went to New York six
weeks ago from her home town, Win
chester, Va, to visit her aunt's home,
rs West 105th street.
The girl was a nurse and intended
to apply for a position in one of the
New York hospitals. On March 26
she went out with the intention of go
ing to Roosevelt Hospital. Since then
nothing has been heard from her.
She had taken a course in the Win
chester Memorial Hospital, and was ap-
parently very earnest in her desire to
become a nurse. She had no love af-
fairs so far as her relatives know.

Conviction of
Egan Affirmed

TRENTON, April 23.-The conviction
of Stephen M. Egan. county collector
of Hudson county, of the charge OF
embezzling~ ss1,50O from the county
funds is affirmed in an opinion filed
in the Supreme Court today by Justice
lawfully loaned the money to the late
Robert Davis. the Democratic leader of
Hudson county Davis died without
having returned the money, and Egan's
arrest, indictment and conviction fol-
lowed He was defended by former
Governor John Franklin Fort.
The affirmance is important in that
it sustains the legality of the elisor
grand jury, which found the Indictment
against Egan. In his appeal to the Su-
preme Court, Egan claimed that the
grand jury was not legally selected and
made other assignments OF error.
Justice Bergen finds no merit in the
grounds for the appeal and decides
that "A grand jury selected and sum-
moned by elisors when the venire, is
sent to them which is sworn and recog-
nized by the court as a grand jury, Is
lawfully constituted as such and
complies with the constitutional re-
quirement relating thereto"
The conviction of ohm Seller of the
charge of defrauding the Hudson
County Freeholders out of certain
money is also affirmed in an opinion
filed by Justice Bergen. This was a
companion case and also hinged on the
legality Of the elisor jury.

Confident of Justice of
Their Claim, They We'll /
come Mediation Offer.
RAILROADS ARE EXPECTED
TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL
Their Conference Committee to
Meet Today to Formally
Consider Plan.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The offer Of
mediation from Charles P. Neiil, United
States Labor Commissioner, and Judge
Martin A. Knapp, of the United States
Commerce Court which was accepted
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers last night just after they had
declared for a strike as the next move
in their campaign for increased wages,
came formally before the conference
committee of railway managers today.
That the eleventh hour proffer OF
mediation by officials of the United
States government will also be dc-
cepted by the railroads was the gen.
era1 belief this morning.
Judge Knapp is expected here from
Washington this afternoon
Judge Knapp and I are only acting
as mediators," said Commissioner ,eill,
"and as mediators if we obtain an ac-
ceptance of the proposition of arbitra-
ton, then it would>-b be for the rail-
roads and the engineers to select one
arbitrator each; those two to select
the third.
The engineers appeared to be delight
ed with the offer of mediation, declar-
ing that their position with respect to
increased wages was perfectly sound
and that If the question was put up
for arbitration they were bound to OBJ
tain some concessions.
The demands for increased wages
were made by the engineers on fifty
railroads east of Chicago and north OF
the Potomac river and Grand Chief
Stone said that a strike order would
affect $4,000 engine drivers. The engi-
neers' strike would throw 100000 fire.

Whether the railroads would accept

troversy with the engineers was dis
cussed at meeting of the conference
committee of the railroads. which con-
vened this forenoon. Definite announce

pected to be made at the conclusion
of the conference, probably late this
afternoon.
The engineers remained in session

Several railroad officials said prior
to going into conference this morning
that there was reason to believe the
offer of Messrs Neill and Knapp would
he accepted by the railroads.

STAR FIGHT
BEARS FRUIT
As Result of Bankruptcy
Crusade Trustee Coun-
sci Refuses Fee.
GEO. II. PIERCE is FIRST
IN JERSEY TO DECLINE PAY
Says Compensation as Lawyer
to D0rsch & Sons Receiver
Was Sufficient.

Following The Stars crusade against
bankruptcy practises here. second In
novation was offered today when
George H. Pierce, as attorney for a
trustee, refused to ask for an allow
ance for his work in that capacity.
"All the hard work in this case" said
Mr. Pierece, was finished during the
regime of the receiver. AS receiver 8
counsel l received my fee. There has
been practically nothing don since the
election of trustee and simply made
up my mind not to invite criticism by
asking for another allowance"
When the United States District
Court judgeo at Trenton ordered last
December that attorneys acting as re-
ceivers should not employ counsel. and
thereby burden the bankrupt estates
the first fruit of The Stars fight was
realized.
Mr. Peirce's statement today caused
much surprise in the local bankruptcy
court, where Referee Edwin G.. Adams
was hearing the trustees final report
in the bankruptcy matter of William
Dorsch & Sons Shoe Manufacturing
Company, of 20 Court street. Mr..
Peirce's action took the lawyers pres
ent by surprise, one of the spectators
remarking that it had not happened
before In the annals of the bankruptcy
court.
william Dorsch & Sons were adju-
dicated bankrupt on a voluntary petit
tion December %, 1910. The scheduled
liabilities were $122,92S.02, while the as
sets were recorded at $37,14S.25. The
attorney for the bankrupts when the
petition was filed was Harry v. Os-
borne.
On the day of the adjudication Ma,
than Bilder was appointed receiver Hs
selected as counsel Peirce & Hoover
The entire receipts realized from the
estate amounted to $16.1 1873, according t.
the account filed by Mr.. Bilder. The
disbursements aggregate $726S83. OF
the latter amount Nathan Bilder, as
received. was allowed s650.s6 as fee and
expenses. Peirce & Hoover were al
lowed $757.o7 for their labors as coun-
sci and for expenses.
The creditors received a first dividend
of little more than $4,000, or per
cent of their claims, on May 27, 1911
the same time the lawyers allowances
were made. It is estimated by Mr..
Peirce that the balance now remain
ing for final distribution is about $4,000
Mr.. Bilders statutory allowance as
trustee is 1901.
The creditors will receive the benefit
of the allowance which Mr. Peirce re-
fused to ask for, boosting the final div
idend several notches for the creditors

Mullikin May Go
to Jersey City


1t is rumored that when Alexander
r, Fordyce, jr., assumes his duties as
civil service commissioner May to
succeed Willis Fletcher Johnson he
will be stationed in Newark and Colo
mel James r. Millikin, who is now In
the Newark office of the commission,
will go to Jersey City.
In the City Hall 1t is said that the
explanation of this is that Colonel Null
likin having the experience will go to
Jersey City only because the field in
Hudson county needs development,
whereas that in Essex is highly or
ganized.
This, while unofficial and could not
be corroborated today by Colonel Null
likin. he being out of town. Is thought
to be a certainty. Mr.. Mullikin has
one more year to serve. His term of
office expires May s, 1918. Colonel Null
likin has been in Newark since his ap-
pointment four years ago.
