GRAND Jury PROBE
OF STRIKE STARTS
Begins Investigation as Work
err at Grave of Slain Com
rade Cries for BLOOD"
Especial to the Newark star.l

PATTERSON, N. j.. April 2S-With
Carlo Tresca's dramatic appeal,
Blood calls for blood in times like
these" ringing in their ears, the silk
strikers today pressed their. labor war
with renewed activity. At the same
time the grand jury began a probe of
strike conditions.
Exciting developments in the labor
union war by the Industrial Workers
of the World, headed by big Bill'
Haywood, and the American Fedora
ton of Labor. as represented by John
Golden, were looked for this after
noon at meeting of the strikers in
Lafayette oval. Supporters of both
sides had been ordered to appear in
force. The police fear another clash
like that of the Fifth Regiment Ar
mory on Monday.
A mass-meeting for children will
be held in Turn Hall tonight Mrs.
Rose Pastor Stokes is expected to
come here to address the strikers to-
morrow. Numerous meetings were
held throughout the city and an army
of pickets was sent out to patrol the
mill section.
No demonstration in the history of
the city was more impressive than
the funeral of Modestino Valentio, a
strike riot victim. who was buried in
Laurel Grove Cemetery yesterday.
Not long before the funeral Justice
Minturn, in charging the grand jury
that is today investigating the
numerous cases in which strikers are
involved, said:
THAT such conditions can exist in
a civilized community is a curious
commentary upon our civilization.
How long can any civilized com
munity live in a state of barbaric
savagery like this? What is the end
to be?
when you see man walking
along the street with a revolver in
his hand you don't wait until he
shoots some one before you have him
apprehended; when you see man
with a f1rebrand stalking about bent
upon arson you do not wait until he
has committed arson before you
have him placed where he can do no
harm. 1t is up to you, gentlemen, as
guardians of the public peace, law
and order. to prevent trouble; to
bring to an end the present deplor
able conditions"
More than 10000, or about one-half
the population of the city, witnessed
the funeral cortege of Valentino in
the afternoon. The colors of the |.
w. w. were conspicuously in evil
dence, each of the marchers wearing
red carnations or ribbons. Hundreds
of the women wore red hats.
At the grave Carlo Tresca spoke to
the great crowd in Italian.
You must not forget that this
mans death was symbolical of all
that you yourselves may expect I'M

which obtain in this country" he

FAMILY NEEDS HIM, so
HE NEEDN'T GO TO JAIL

The fact that Frederick Simbone
has a wife and eight children, the
eldest of the children being 10 years
of age, dependent on him for sup
port was the motive that impelled
Judge Harry " Osborne today to
change a sentence imposed on Sim
bone of six months in the county
penitentiary and place him on pro-
baton for three years, Simbone to
pay so cents a week to the county.
Simbone was convicted on April 10
on charge of receiving seven bags
of oats stolen from the Eagle Brew
ing Company by Irving Giles, Harry
Taylor and George Graham. jail SEN
fences were given these men.
After sentence had been imposed on
Simbone 1t came to the attention of
Judge Osborne that Simbone's family
was left without a breadwinner.
Through the Bureau of Associated
Charities Judge Osborne had the af-
fairs of the family investigated and
found that Simbone had never been
| in trouble before and that the family
was worthy.
| He called Simbone before him to-
| day. and, after vacating the peniten-
tiary sentence, said: 81 do this be-
cause the law as yet does not pro-
vide for any earnings of prisoners
going toward the support of their
families. In your case it would be a
hardship to deprive your wife and
eight children of your support. |
shall, therefore, place you on proba-
ton, but you are not to consider that
the lenieney so shown is on your ac-
count. 1t is solely on account of your
family, and IL you get in any further
trouble you will be sent to prison"
Simbone left the courtroom with
his wife and at once started out as
he put 1t ito make good with the
judge" He meant that he was going
to look for work and support his
family.

said. He died a victim of misrule
and oppression, and his blood cries
up to heaven for atonement. I ask
you not to forget the precept of every
italian worker at home or abroad,
which is that blood calls for blood in
times like these. Don't take joy to
your hearts in the hour of your trial,
for you cannot win anything you do
not strive for in your own way. Be
firm in the attitude you have as
sumed and victory will perch upon
your banners. Let this occasion teach
you the salutatory lesson that the
shedding of blood as this mans blood
was shed. may and will bring victory
out of almost certain defeat"
"Over this mans dead body" said
Haywood, ''let us pledge ourselves 70
stand by the cause for which he was
killed. Seated at his own doorstep,
he was shot down by one of the ennis
saries of the employers who are seek
ing to destroy your organization and
to reduce you to slavish dependence,
Are you going to permit this? IT is
your duty, your sacred duty to your
wives and children, your parents and
brothers and sisters, to prevent your
selves being ground into the degrad-
ing condition from which you cannot
rise once you have sunk into the
depths Stand together and your
case will be successful"
Although special arrangements had
been made by the police to preserve
order, their services in this regard
were not needed. The strikers were
orderly and not an incident occurred
the afternoon which
called for the intervention of the
police.

FIGHT FOR SHARE IN
ESTATE OF MRS. TINKER

On the ground that they are resid-
uary legatees, the estate of the late
Mrs. Minora T. Tinker, of this city,
two of Mrs. Tinker's nieces and
nephew began suit before Advisory
Master Francis Child today to COM
pei an accounting from Charles 7.
Pomeroy, another nephew, and his
wife, Grace e. Pomeroy. Pomeroy is
executor of the estate. and denies
that it consisted of more than 1920 in
personal property when Mrs. Tinker
died.
The complainants, Eltweed Pome-
roy, of Donna, Tex; Cornelia r.
Pomeroy, of Southport, Conn, and
Jeane T. r. Ripley. seek also to have
certain transfers Of property from
Mrs. Tinker to Charles Pomeroy set
aside, on the ground that they were
made through coercion. Pomeroy
testified today how he had received
the property, and claimed that none
of it had been taken over without a
proper consideration.
In the bill, filed by Judge Hunt, it
was set forth that Mrs. Tinker, whose
husband died in 1895, after being con-
fined in the asylum for the insane at
Morris Plains, realized she was get
ting old and went to her nephew.

had $4,000, of which 1000 was in

Pomeroy took advantage of her ems

until at the time of her death. all
that remained in her name was the

the property she conveyed to him was
for various considerations, including
stock in the now defunct Pomeroy

paid $4,000. He was represented by

out a referendum. and Senator Nc
Ginnis's attitude was known. Assem-
blyman Roe, the Governor said. was
the only man whose vote might pos
sibly be changed by the Presidents
visit.
In defending his attitude, Mr.. Mat
thews who is a representative of or
ganized labor, said:
"If Governor Fielder says am
pledged to a bill without a referen-
dunn. he had better think again. The
people can rest assured that I would
not do anything contrary to their
wishes. My efforts in the interests
of labor were shown when I tried to
get through a bill exempung from
taxation a building used in Paterson
by organized labor. In talking with
my constituents I have determined
to support Jury bill with referen-
dunn"
when May comes around, said
Assemblyman Kerwin, the people
will know where I stand. | have
made no promises to Governor Fielder
regarding what l would do in the
special session. l voted for the Nc
Dermott bill, and my only reason for
voting against the Martin referen-
dunn on Goyernor-appolnte jury
commissions was that the amendment
had not been printed and distributed
among the Assemblymen so that they
could read it and vote on it intelli-
gently"
The statement made by Assembly
man Buckley was equally positive.
He said:
at most emphatically deny having
at any time made any promise to
Governor Fielder. 1t is true that I
voted for the McDermott bill and
certainly would not think of reyers-
ing myself on the matter Of refer
endum."
There Is some speculation as 20
whether President Wilson will event
ually change his mind and include
Essex County in the list of places
he is to stump in behalf of judge
made juries 1t was given out in
washington that the reason the Pres
ident was not coming to Essex was
because he hadn't any hope of being
able to change the votes Of the eleven
Essex Assemblymen.
There are those who are now asking
what greater hope the President can
have of changing the vote of the
twelve Hudson Assemblymen. when
he speaks in Jersey City, for they. too,
voted solidly for the McDermott
plan, thus committing themselves to
the stand that the voters we're the
ones who should have the opportunity
to decide which of the new systems of
jury drawing should prevail.

LEGISLATORS DENY
FIELDER'S CLAIM
Three Passaic Assemblymen
Declare Stand for Referen-
dun on Jury Bill.
ASSERT THAT GOVERNOR
HAS MISQU0TED THEM
Buckley, Kerwin and James
Matthews Announce Votes
Will Be Unchanged.

Despite the open assertion Of Gov
ernor Fielder that Assemblymen Rob-
ert II. Buckley, James e. KerWin and
James Matthews, of Passaic, had
promised him that they would vote at
the special session of the Legislature
for a jury bill without a referendum,
the three men emphatically denied
this last night.
Assemblymen Matthews and Buck
ley declared they would stand by
their original vote for a referendum
and Mr.. Kerwin. although refusing to
commit himself, declared he would
represent the interests of his constit-
uents. Robert A. Roe, the other rep
resentative from Passaic county in the
lower house. refused to say last night
whether he would stand by his orig
inal vote for the McDermott referen-
dunn bill or not. a fifth assemblyman
from Passaic county, Joseph A. De-
laney. has recently been made dis
trict court judge and has, therefore,
forfeited his vote in the Assembly.
The representative of the county in
the Senate Peter J. McChnnis, ii is
said, viii vote for a jury bill without
a referendum, as he did during the
regular session.
Fielder Makes Statement.
Governor Fielder's assertion was
made to the newspapermen yesterday,
the Governor expressing himself as
dissatisfied with President Wilson'S
intention to speak for jury bill at
Paterson. The President could only
rather one vote there, the Governor
declared as Assemblymen Buckley,
Matthews and Kerwin had promised

cts too radical, too often dangerous
There's a better way of removing often

safe and rational. Ordinary mercolized
wax causes the devitalized scarf skin to
come off, but gradually and gently. I'm
like the surgical process, the skin is not
forcibly taken off in big pieces all at
once, but almost invisible faky particles
are absorbed by the wax, and from ton
days to two weeks are required to COM
plete the transformation. There's no pain,
no discomfort.

other abnormal condition may interfere
with the shedding-a bad complexion re-

lieved that he will weaken rather than
strengthen the cause, in view of the
recent reputation of his administra-
ton by the Walsh COMMISSIONERS.
The Republican members of the
Legislature held a caucus at the State
House yesterday, but did not, 1T was
announced, arrive at any definite de-
cision. 1t is said. however, that 1t
makes little difference how the Re-

the referendum have enough votes to
insure the passage of the McDermott
bill in the lower house anyway.
Senator Johnson, president of the
Senate, has evolved a plan to confne
the action of the special session to
three topics, the jury bill, constitu-

BAINTON SECURES "MOVIE"
LICENSE IN WEST ORANGE

By a unanimous vote the West Or
ange Town Council last night decided
to issue a license for a moving pic
ture theatre to John A. Bainton, who
was recently turned down by Mayor
Frank j. Murray. of Orange. Balm
ton will erect $4,000 concrete struc-
ture at 80 Freeman street, just around
the corner from the lot which he had
secured in Valley street, Orange.
The same contractors who had COM
menced the building in Orange will
erect the theatre, and a popularity
of the new location Is that, while the
property Is located in West Orange,
it fronts on Orange sidewalks. The
council will fix the license fee for the
showhouse next month. 1t is likely
the present fee of SIS annually will be
increased to 5000. The showhouse will
be the first to be located in the Val
ley section of the Oranges.

in whose selection the people have
any direct voice. The judges and
prosecutors cannot be held respon-
sible or accountable to the people, be-
cause they are appointed by the gov
ernor. And the governor cannot be
held accountable, because our dog
cared, undemocratic constitution
makes him ineligible for reelection.
He is not allowed to go before the

Remedy slmpIe-MOre Democracy.
If the sheriffs do their work badly
in drawing jurors who refuse to do
their duty, then the remedy is very
simple-more democracy. Give the
voters the recall. and let them have
the power to put out the sheriff and
choose another when his juries do not
suit them This would give the people
a nearer grasp upon the one branch
of the courts over which they have
any control whatever. 1t would be
democratic.
But this is not proposed. Instead
because some sheriffs are accused of
discrimination in drawing juries, and
because some juries are charged with
not having indicted or convicted
enough saloonkeepers and petty Of
tenders, it is proposed to remove the
control of juries even further from
the popular will. ignoring all the
teachings of history to the contrary,
the effort Is to make government bet
ter by making it less democratic.
And. strangely enough, this is urged
by men who have with much insist
ence. demanded greater democracy,
espoused the cause of the initiative,
referendum and recall and proposed
commission government mainly be-
cause it enables the people to hold
their representatives more closely re-
sponsible and accountable for their
acts.
1t is true that jury commissions
were demanded in the Democratic
platform last fall, and | believe q
party should always redeem it's plat
form pledges, both in spirit and in
the letter Although there was no
discussion of this issue on the stump
and although very few voters prob
ably gave it any particular attention
or were influenced by it's presence in
the platform, still the-fact remains
that ii was in the platform and that
the party is pledged to the reform"
As much as am opposed to the prin-
ciple of jury commissions. ] would
vote for the reform II / we're a
Democratic member of the Legisla-
ture, unless I had made it clear to
my constituents in the campaign, as
should have done under such cir
cumstances. that I disagreed with
this part of the platform.
Referendum Is Real Question.
And this, l believe, no Democratic
member refuses to do. The issue is
not the passage of a jury commission
bill, but the question of whether or
not the voters themselves, by a ref
erendum vote, shall have the right
to say for themselves, whether or not
they want this reform" which GER
tain leaders say is a popular demand:
and, strangely enough, the men who
insist upon the passage of the bill
without referendum, are the men
who have most conspicuously adj
yocated the referendum as valu-
able weapon of popular government.

fairs of the Democratic party. This
is not merely a party question. II
