BATTLE IN STRIKE
At MINE FEARED
Sheriff Rushes Army of Dep
uties to Scene of Trouble
at Wharton, NJ. J.
lspecIaI 70 the Newnrk stand

WHARTON. y. j.. Feb. 5.-Fifty
five armed detectives and deputies
are confronted by two hun sed in
furiated miners this afternoon at the
Richard mine of the Thomas Iron
and steel Company.
A pitched battle is feared. Sheriff
Whitfield B. Gillen. of Morris county,
who rushed twenty-five deputies to
the scene in automobiles from Nor
ristown, Morris Plains and Dover to-
day. is about to send twenty-five
more.
The miners, too, are armed. Indis-
oriminate firing, in which a number
of men narrowly escaped injury, was
what caused the sheriff to muster his
force of deputies.
James Arthur. superintendent of
the mine. was shot at last night as
he was walking from the company's
office to the powerhouse. More than
100 shots. it is said, were fired by the
miners and guards during the night.
Although there are 100 strikebreak-
ers on hand, the ominous aspect Of
the labor war has made many of
them anxious TO desert.

SYLVIA PANKHURST
AND Is OTHERS ARE
JAILED AS RIOTERS
Two Weeks or a $40 Fine Is
Bow Street Magistrates
Sentence.

LONDON. Feb Sylvia Pank-
hurst. the militant suffragette leader,
was sentenced TO two weeks inn
prisonment or a fine of SO by the
magistrate at Bow street police court
today. The punishment was meted
out to nineteen other women who
participated in the raid on the House
Of Common under the leadership of
General Mrs. Flora Drummond on
January rs.
On that occasion the women tried
to force their way into parliament to
obtain an interview with David Lloyd
George. They were arrested and
charged with resisting the police.
AS Miss Pankhurst was leaving the
police court for the cells today she
shouted:
Il shall not serve this sentence"
This is probably correct. as the
leaders of the militants have become
tired of Jail and their fines are now
invariably paid by some third party
within a few hours of their impo-
sition.

That Is Opinion Of
Attorney-General
Wilson.
ONLY METHOD OF CHANGE
CHARTER FIXES ITSELF
This Provides for Referendum
After Passage by Two
Legislatures.
IFrom a stan corrcspondentl

TRENTON, Feb. 5.-Attorney- G en-
eral Wilson has written an opinion
to Assemblyman Z. Y Richards, the
Republican minority leader in the
House, holding that it would be un-
constitutional to amend the State
constitution BY means Of a consti-
tutional convention
The opinion of the attorney general
is an exhaustive document of some
four or five thousand words. Assem-
blyman Richards wrote the attorney
general yesterday asking for an opin-
ion, but the opinion had been in
course of preparation for some days
in anticipation that it would be called
for. as the Governor or any member
of the Legislature may ask the attor-
ney-general for an opinion at any
time.
The opinion of the attorney general
is along the lines of an opinion by
former Supreme Court Judge Van
Syckel some time ago, in which the
! latter held that there was no author
ity for constitutional convention
but that the constitution would have
to be amended or changed in the
manner provided for in the constitn-
tion ITSELF thai is. by having the
amendment or amendments adopted
by two successive legislatures and
then submitted to the people for rati-
fication.
Attorney General Wilson in his
| opinion says:
The constitution has not rendered
| impossible the attainment by amend
ment or amendments of any result oil
object which may be desired, but i
has for reasons OF safety definitel,
controlled the method by which sucl
| result or object may be effected
Every word of the present constitu.
! ton may be exided, altered ol
changed by proper amendment ol
amendments.
Accordingly. my conclusion upor
! the whole matter is that it is moi
! lawful to amend or change the con-
stitution of this State in any other
way than by the precise method
pointed out in the instrument itself.
| The attorney-general reviews the
subject at great length and quotes
many authorities to sustain his posi-
| ton.
Governor Wilson when apprised OF
the opinion of the attorney-genera
said he had no comment to make a.
! least for the present.
Assemblyman Hennessy, who intro
duced Assembly bill No. s, which
provides for constitutional conven
ton. when told of Attorney-Gen
Wilson's opinion. said the opinion
was in opposition to the practise thai
! had been followed in twenty-sever
| States.

Explains Change
in Subway Bills

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 5.-Assem-
blyman Matthews. of Tssex. in ex-
planning his amendments to the New
ark subway bill at the session of the
House today said they cut the recurn
of the franchise from so to 20 years,
made the amount which may be ap-
propriated absolutely a maximum of
81, ,OOO, 900, and provided a referendum
vote on the proposition in the next
election.
In his opinion the latter part of the
bill, with a clause he interprets as
meaning that If the cost of the sub
way exceeds $2,OOo.0OO more can be
appropriated, would make it possible
to make a much larger appropriation
Mr. Matthews's amendment to As
semblyman Papscoes bill for the ex-
tension of street railway tracks in
Newark makes the consent of prop
erty owners necessary before the ex-
tensions may be made.

SERANSO IS HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE
Refuses to View Remains of
Alleged Victim in
Morgue.

Baldassace Seranso, charged with
the murder of Stefano Crisofulli on
Saturday night, was held without bail
today by Judge Hahn in the First
Criminal Court to await the acton of
the grand jury. Five other Sicilians
were held without bail as material
witnesses.
Lieutenants Harris, Mcconnell, Cor
dano and Detective Adubato, after
working on the case since the dis
covery of the crime, took Seranso,
heavily manacled, over the scene of
the crime and finally led him to the
morgue, where he refused to look at
the remains of his alleged victim.
After this he contradicted his for
mer statement that he had not been
with the dead man on the night the
shooting occurred by stating that he
had left the saloon at So River street
in company with Crisofulli, and that
the two walked to the vacant lot, q
short distance away.
According to his story, the two
men conversed for few minutes,
when suddenly two revolver shots
were heard. Fearing he was being
shot at, he ran, according to the
confession he is alleged by the police
to have made.
He then says that he went BACK
into the saloon, where he remained
only few minutes. This statement
is corroborated by Fillomeno Giliardo,
who conducts the saloon.
1t is also alleged by the police that
other witnesses have implicated Sa-
ranso as the perpetrator of the
crime
Those held as material witnesses
are Frank Morano. Raffaelo Cifalli,
Augusta Sarafno, Fillomeno Gillardo
and Petro j, lombard
