TAKES GRIP" WITH RIGHT,
GIVES 'WALLOP WITH LEFT

Louis Bernstein, of S19 Fifteenth
avenue, told In the Second Precinct
Police Court today the same story of
how his fraternal overtures of friend
ship were misunderstood just because
he happened to be a collector as well
as a Forester.
He appeared in court to make a
complaint of assault and battery
against Lorenzo Nisivoccia, of 80
Belleyille avenue.
II went to the house of cousin of
this man. said Bernstein, ito collect
some money. When l saw that Lo-
renzo was wearing an F. of A. en-
iblem l put out my hand to give him
the grip While we were clasping
hands he hit me on the jaw and
nearly knocked me out"
Since there were no witnesses pres
emit, Acting Judge Oehring adjourned
the hearing for a week. Bernstein
then admitted that he could produce
no witnesses except Nisivoccia' s
cousin, and that he was willing to
withdraw the complaint. The judge
permitted him to do so.

the facts, and that is what we have
tried to do. What may come later
is another matter"
Butt persisted. ut is grave
thing to charge that whole State
government has conspired to sub
vert justice and overthrow consti-
tutional rights. Do you think con-
ditions justify the Senate in declar-
ing that West Virginia is in a state
of rebellion against the constitution
and laws of the United States?"

Other members of the committee
Joined with the New Jersey
senator in emphatieally denying the
published reports that there was any
dissension In the committee. that
other members were not in sympathy
with him or that he would be asked
to retire from the committee because
of the intemperance of his attitude
towards witnesses at the hearings
Since his return to Washington
yesterdy the New Jersey senator has
been warmly congratulated by many
senators upon his action. Among
those who have especially praised his
attitude at the hearings are Senator
Borah, a member of the committee,
who returned here before the sensa-
tional features of the hearings de-
veloped, and Senator Kern, of In

fREEHOLDERS REFUSE TO
CUT GUARDS WORK HOURS

Guards at the county penitentiary
requested the prison committee yes
terday to allow them an hours time
for luncheon. to be included in their
eight-hour working day. The eight
hour, basis has only been recently
adopted at the penitentiary, the
guards formerly working twelve
hours a day.
In the communication presented 10
the committee yesterday the men
asked that their hours be from 3
o'clock in the morning until In the
afternoon. instead of being COM
PEELED to work until O'Clock as now,
the hours lunch time not being hg-
ured in the working day.
Warden F. j. Hosp stated that the
men in charge of the convicts work.
ing on the roads had been insisting
on stopping work at $3.50 o'clock SO
as to get their charges back to the
prison by o'clock. This resulted, 1t
was shown in teamsters and road
roller employees being left without
work for an hour and half's time
after the convict workers had left.
The only action taken by the com
mittee yesterday was to approve us
former action. which provides that
the working time of the guards shall
be from a m. to 8 p. M, with time
off for lunch.

Held in $4,000 Bail for
Getting carusO Girl Away

Daniel Perna and Joseph Cancel
liero were each held for the grand
jury in $4,000 bail today by Judgf
Hahn in the First Criminal Court
for interfering with the administra-
ton of justice.
Perna, who is now in the Essex
county jail in default of $500 bail on
a charge of assault and battery and
abuse committed on Jennie Caruso,
is alleged TO have conspired with
Cancelliero to get the Caruso girl,
who was the States principal witness
against him, out of the jurisdiction OF
the courts. and in accordance with
this plan is alleged to have sent the
girl to Hartford. Conn, on May D
last, two days before the case against
Perna was to have been tried in the
Court of Quarter Sessions.
At today's examination the Caruso
girl testified that she had been fire.
quently threatened by Perna that IL
she had him brought to court she
would be made to suffer. and also il
alleged to have promised to marry
her If she would stop the court pro-
eeedings.
For several weeks, according to
the girls testimony she failed TO go
TO the prosecutors Office through
fear of Perna. but when she was as
sured by Prosecutors Detective Jo-
seph H. Quicker that she would not
be harmed she expressed fervent
desire to bring her assailant to jus
tice, but on the day after she had
been subpoenaed to appear in court
she said she met Perna and Cam
celliero, and that the two men prom
ised her much money, and Perna
agreed to marry her If she would
leave the city. She finally consented
and was accompanied to the Grand
Central depot in New York by Can
celllero. she said. who, after buying
her a ticket to Hartford, gave her
money. -
Neither of the accused men were
in court during the proceedings, their
counsel agreeing TO proceed without
their presence.

Give Details Anglers
Commissioners.

Decision upon the twenty-seVen APP
plications of the Public Service for
additional franchises and concessions
in connection with its general terrni-
nal project will be reached by the
Board of Works within the next few
weeks The matter assumed definite
shape yesterday afternoon when the
board set July 10 as the date for
formal public hearing.
It is understood that the board at
present has authority to pass upon
All but nine Of the applications with
out the formality of a public hearing,
s as the concessions asked do not in
.voive the granting of new franchises.
The hearing was decided upon follow
ing the receipt of the report OF the
city Plan Commission on the pro
ject.
= Having every expectation of re-
cefving a voluminous report COW
ering every detail of lnvestiga
lion the board members were disap-
pointed and rather nonplussed when
the Plan Commission authorities pre-
sented merely its conclusions. The
communication was concise and
treated most of the applications col
1ectively instead of individually as
the board members had expected.
Vote for Conference with Planners.
While giving no outward sign or
iisappointment. the commissioners
showed their chagrin by unanimously
adopting a motion offered by Com
missioner Charles f. Kraemer. that
conference be arranged between Chief
Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd, repre-
senting the board. and the engineers
of the Plan Commission. Public Serv-
ice and the Public Utilities Commits
sion. to thrash out the engineering
details
1t is expected that this conference
will have reached some sort of an
understanding upon present trolley
conditions. and be ready with a re-
port to the board before the date of
the public hearing BY this means
the commissioners hope to be pre-
pared to meet any contingency that
might arise during the public gath
ering
It was on the suggestion of DR..
>Kraemer also, that the date of the
public hearing was fixed. In naming
only nine of the twenty-seven APP
Dlicatlons in his motion. he declared
that the others did not involve the
granting of any additional franchises
and therefore no public hearing was
necessary before the board could act.
The subway is covered by. legislation.
The applications on which the hear
ing has been called are: No. 3, Park

No. O. double tracks in Lafayette

decision that the board received the
report of the Plan Commission. At
this point Commissioner Charles P.

his colleagues in engaging a trolley
expert to go over the entire matter
and report back his findings This,
however, was figured to be too ex-
pensive a proposition. and DR.. Krae-
