C. O. P. CONFEREES SPLIT
ON REORGANIZATION PL AN

country. will be ratified by the Re-
publican electors of the nation, the
national convention OF the party
when convened in 1915, and by State
conventions of the party wherever
held.
"Resolved, That It be the sense of
this committee that the committee
shall forthwith proceed to deter
mine upon a basis Of representation
in future national conventions Of the
party, and be 1t further
"Resolved, that the committee
pledge itself to Issue a call for the
convention to be convened In 1915 to
nominate candidates in accordance
with such basis OF representation as
shall be now determined upon by this
committee"
Both resolutions provided recogni-
ton of the primary laws of various
States, and agreed that certificates OF
election from proper State authorities
should be sufficient ground for plac-
ing the name of a delegate on the
temporary roll of the convention.
The second resolution also recog-
nises the methods adopted in Cali
fornia and other States where all
delegates are elected at large, and
only declares that the total number
named In the call must be chosen by
any State which has such q law.
Resolutions were adopted to admit
Senator Cummins and Representative
Woods, OF Iowa, of the Republican
congressional committee, to the con-
ference.
Chairman Warren, of the law COM
mittee, then moved the adoption of
the first resolution proposing a ma
tional convention, and the debate
began.
Senator Cummins appealed for the
calling OF national convention
While he did not discourage the alter
native proposition of referring a re-
organization plan to the States he be-
lieved that such a plan would not inn
press the general public as strongly
as would q convention.
Ormsby McHarg, who represented
the Roosevelt forces In the contests
preceding the Chicago convention
last year. addressed the committee In
opposition to d special convention.
IF the committee has power to call
a convention, 1t has power to change
representation. II this committee has
decided that abuses should be cor
rected, It should nanfully SO an
nounce. Such course will restore to
a very large extent the confidence OF
tho people, who must become the adj
herents Of the Republican party IL 1t
is to be successful at the next national
election. The old adage "A wrong con-
fessed Is half redressed' will have
wholesome and practical application
at this critical juncture in our party
AFFAIRS"
Speaking of the Chicago contest,
MoHarg said: II know that Roosevelt
was defrauded, and a majority of the
members of that committee knew that
he was defrauded, and l remained
silent, frequently haunted with the
statement that proceedings were In
stituted solely for the purpose of con-
fusing and belonging the committee,
and what I then protested against is
precisely that which you admit now"
Informal discussion among COM
mitteemen developed a somewhat
general opinion in favor of the pro.
posal for the committee to change the
basis OF representation and refer 1t to
State conventions which meet next
year.

Eight Men Held in Bail for
Grand Jury, Charged With
Beating Policeman StOllbera

Charged with beating Policeman
Stollberg- in the Pennsylvania rail-
road station Saturday night, five men
were held in $1,000 bail each for the
grand jury and three others in $500
bail. Their Arrangement before Judge
Hahn in the First Criminal Court
took three hours yesterday afternoon.
Ten others who were arrested at
the same time were released for lack
Of evidence.
Those who were held in $500 bail
were: Michael Hanrahan, 524 First
street; Thomas Phelan, 205 East
Fourteenth street; Patrick Garfield,
408 West Thirty-fourth street, and
Thomas Maher, sos Third avenue all
of New York. and Patrick Conway,
Of 1853 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn. Those
held In $500 were: Richard Dalton, OF
20 Deveraux place, Brooklyn; James
Dugan, of 241 Eighth avenue. and
Daniel Phelan, of 21S West 116th
street, New York.
Thomas Phelan was identified by
Special Officer Frank Boettner and
Bernard Brady, who were the first
to go to Etollberg's assistance when
he was attacked, as the man who
first struck the policeman. They said
he was the one who took away Stoll-
berg's revolver.
Although the evidence against Dali
ton, Daniel Phelan and Dugan did
not connect them with the assault,
lt.showed that the men were men,
bers of the crowd that attacked the
policeman and Judge Hahn said that
was sufficient to hold them for the
grand jury.
John A. Bernhardt represented all
the defendants and Charles Simpson,
Of the legal staff of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, who was pres
ent TO look after the interest OF the
company, assumed the office OF prose-
cutting attorney.

PASS RULING IS

tsosc,., to the Newark start


TRENTON, Dec. 16.-The announced
purpose of the Delaware, Backawanna
and Western railroad to refuse to
honor blanket railroad passes held by
numerous State officials after January
1. 1914. has not created much Of stir
here.
AS a matter of fact, it was generally
understood that such a step would be
taken by the railroad after the Su..
preme Court decided the members OF
The State Water Supply Commission
were not entitled to pass free OF
charge over the railroad.
Justice Garrison on November IN
handing down an opinion in the SUI
preme Court deciding against the
water supply commissioners, retraineu
from passing upon the right or other
officiais to use their passes because
Tho court did not wish to preJuulee
the rights of outsiders holding passes
Tho delaware, Lackawanna q
western has notified deputy heads
of departments, secretaries OF conn-
missions and attaches of the Legisla-
ture that their passes Will not De
honored after the first of the year
AS the decision of the company Is IN
line with Justice Garrison's decision
the company will be sustained py 1he
courts in every contested case except
where under the general railroad law
and the company's charter free trans
nortatIon is provided for supreme
Court justices, members of the Legis-
lature. and a few designated state

told It to the interpreter and the iil-'
terpreter told it to them. They SAID
that the injured man talked Voluply
while they were at his bedside.
Olrozinski on his direct examination
nv Mr.. Van Blarcom, illustrated how
the alleged confession was obtained.
He would ask a question as directed
bv Kaas and the defendant would nod
his head up and down. To every Dues
tien he nodded his head. Not once
during the whole of the time of taking
the statement did Kubaszewsld speak
a word. the witness swore, because
he couldn't move his Jaws IN his ban
dages.
OlxrozinsM also declared on cross
examination that he heard nurse oS
orderly tell the plainclothesmen thaa
1t would be dangerous to take state
rnent from the patient because of his
weakened condition. He also heard
Kaas say that they had to get tho
statement in some fashion.
When on the stand Kaas had told
Mr. McDerrnit that he had not heard
anv warning from the doctors, nurse
or orderlies He testified that the first
thing he did was to tell the prisoner
through the interpreter that anything
he might say would be used against
him. but this the interpreter denied

Answered by Head shake.
The interpreter said that the ac-
cused man in his bed pointed to l
O'clock on a watch and that that
meant that Mrs. Belinska had come
to his rooms at that time, and so It
was nut down in the statement.
OkrosinslSi, it appeared from his testi-
mony, was such a good interpreter
that from a mere shake OF the head
he could deduce what the prisoner
meant and put 1t down several para.
graphs long.
The only words spoken or written
during the confession by the prisoner
were sthe revolver in apron on chair, F."
written on an old envelope, since lost
by the Interpreter.
Mrs. Mary Mairus, a tenant on the
floor under Kubaszewski, in the
Charlton street house, also made a
statement calculated to help the de-
Tense. She said that Kubaszewski
told her when she discovered him
PROSTATE in the hall after the shoot
ing that the woman had shot him.
County Physician Mckenzie Offset
much of the damaging evidence by
the findings of his autopsy. He found
two bullets in the body, one in the
heart There was a bullet wound on
the outside and another on the inner
side OF the right arm, half way be-
tween the shoulder and the elbow.
When the arm was doubled across the
body 1t was found that these two
holes were on straight line with the
hole of the bullet that entered the
heart This would seem to Indicate
that the woman threw her arm before
her in an attitude of defense and the
bullet then shot straight through the
arm and into the heart.
That a woman would never be able
to shoot herself, as the defense is
likely to claim, in such manner Is
the contention Of the prosecution.

program called for an executive ses-
sion of the State central committee, a
conference of county chairmen with
the State central and Cook couny
committeeman, a reception to visiting
women at the Progressive Club and a
rally at night
The keynote was sounded by Rey-
mond Robins, chairman of the State
central committee, who declared
against amalgamation with either of
the old parties, and predicted victory
in the spring elections. This senti-
ment was echoed in a letter sent by
former United States Senator A. j.

There were occasional flashes Of
humor in an address by H. j. Allen,

Mr.. Allen said: lone OF our New
York leaders, Mr.. Prendergast, who
recently landed the good job of

Progressive votes, declares that 1t

gressive party has fulfilled its mis-
sion so far as Mr.. Prendergast is
concerned He says he Is tired OF
standing at Armageddon, and since
the Progressives have given him a
comfortable place to sit down he de-
clares his intention of taking advan-
tage of 1t; he advises all Progressives
