second year.
While it was known by the gener-
ais immediate family that he was in
serious condition, owing to d gem

he was near death. The report that
the general was dead created quite
a sensation in Kearny.

JERSEY CITY. N. j.. July T.
When former Mayor H. Otto Witt
penn was asked today whether or not
he intended to abandon his guber-
material aspirations for a prospective
berth as postmaster of this city. he
would make no statement.
1t is the pronounced impression
here that he is about to give up his
State House aspirations and drop out
of the race.

Il won't discuss it," he snapped
angrily, as he headed toward Mr..
Dixon's private office.

that you are out for the job of post
master and that, If President Wilson
promises to appoint you, you will
then abandon your gubernatorial

The eX-mayor shot back an indig-

to emphasize his refusal to talk, and
darted into Mr. Dixons office.
The term of the present postmaster
expires next year.

STATE POSITIONS
LONG IN DISPUTE
co TO DEMOCRATS
Gaskil! Seats McDermOtt and
Mount as Members of Ef-
ficiency Body.
[From a STAN Correspondent.l

TRENTON, N. j.. July Assistant
Attorney General Gaskill in an opin-
ion to the Efficiency and Economy
Commission today says Assemblymen
MeDermott, of Hudson, and Mount
of Monmouth, are entitled to sit with
the commission as new members
Both men are Democrats and were
appointed by Speaker Taylor at the
recent session of the Legislature. To-
days opinion is a reversal of a for
mer one to the effect that the two
Democrats were illegally appointed
The Economy Commission will now
consist of five Democrats and two
Republicans and changes in the staff
of the board are looked for. The ap-
pointment of Assemblymen McDer-
mott and Mount was brought about
after two former members of the
board had ceased to be members of
the Legislature. Assemblyman Mar
tin introduced resolution providing
for the filling of the two vacancies
and the speaker appointed McDer-
mott and Mount.
Attorney Gaskill in his opinion says
each branch of the Legislature has
control of its representation on the
Efficiency and Economy Commission
and says Speaker Taylor acted with
in his authority in filing the two
vacancies. The commission has adj
journed its Inquiries into the work.
ings of State departments until Sep
tember.
The commission will not conduct
another meeting until September. The
Democratic members of the body are
greatly incensed at this announce
ment. They point out that last year
the Efficiency Commission conducted
its probing during the entire summer
and expended $2,963 from July ] to
october /.
The Democratic members cannot
be reconciled to this expenditure and
feel that If the commission held meet
ings last summer and expended this
large amount of money there is no
reason for disseminating the activi-
ties of the commission now that it is
| Democratic
One reason for stopping the work
until September is that members of
| the commission want to take vaca-
tions, and another Is that the State
employees who would be summoned
as witnesses would also be away for
| the summer when an investigation
would be going on.
If this reasoning Is sound this year

MUTE PULLS FIRE ALARM
TO PINCH PINOCHLE GAME

Just because he couldn't play
pinochle and mistook a fire-alarm
box for police box, Thomas Mar
zinc, a deaf-mute. performed a star
part in a Second Precinct Police
Court comedy today.
His role was silent, but he told an
eloquent story of his misfortunes in
sign language through a cousin who
acted as interpreter.
The chief joy of Marzino's life is
Ipinochle. When he saw his cousin
and several other friends playing
yesterday in the rear of his home at
S45 Summer avenue he had an over
towering desire to join in the game.
In his sign language he conveyed to
them his desire. But they wouldn't
let him play.
At length in desperation the deaf
mute flashed with his fingers the
threat that he would go out and call

GAS
ORDER UPHELD BY
SUPREME COURT
Public Service Will Continue
Reduction Throughout State
Pending Appeal.
[FrOm a staff Correspondent.I

TRENTON, n. j., July THE Su-
preme Court in an opinion by Justice
Swayze today affirms an order of the
Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners making a ninety-cent-gas rate
for the Paterson and Passaic districts
of the Public Service Gas Company.
The former price was 81 per 1000
cubic feet, with a discount of 10 per
cent, for prompt payment.
The Utility Commission on its own
initiative instituted an investigation
as to the reasonableness of the rates
charged in Paterson and Passaic, with
the determination that they We're un-
just. The board then made the rate
of ninety cents per 1000 cubic feet
The Public Service Gas Company
! carried the case to the Supreme Court
on certiorari proceedings, claiming
| the rate of ninety cents was too low.
Citizens of the two cities also brought
| the case into court. claiming the rate
was too high.
The Utility Commission also
recommended that the Public Service
Gas Company put the ninety-cent
| rate into effect throughout the entire
State. The Supreme Court says the
commission acted within its authority
in segregating the Paterson and Pas
sale districts from the rest of the
State for an inquiry.
In it's opinion the court said I'VE
I are aware of the great character of
the questions with which we have had
to deal and of the great injury not
only to private interests, but to the
public at large, that may result from
error but the same may be said of
any legislative policy in matters of
| moment. We have dealt with the legal
principle underlying the case, but the
ultimate question is a question of
business, and the results cannot be
| predicted. In such a case the COM
missioners ought to move with
caution. We think in this case they
| have done So"
|. A further appeal will be taken to
| higher courts by the gas company,
according to John l.. O'Toole pub
licity agent of the Public Service Cor
! poration, and in the meantime the
ninety-cent gas rate will apply
throughout the State territory.
The Passaic district has been segre-
gated by the Public Utilities Commits
| sion as a test case, and what recon-
mendations are ultimately decided for
| that district will be made effective
| throughout the whole territory sup
piled by the Public Service Gas Com
pany.

There was no response to his last
signals, SO he slipped away.
How to make good his threat was
now his problem 1t is no easy nat
ter for Il deaf-mute to tell a police
man that he wants a certain PIN

Marzino thought it over and de-
cided to pull a police box He

against the deaf-mute and Judge Herr
discharged him.

IMMUNITY WAIVED
BY LAUTERbACH IN
HEARING ON LOBBY
Lawyer Whom Lamar, by Inn
personating Congressman, -
Boosted, on Stand.

WASHINGTON, July edward
Lauterbach. New York lawyer and
friend of David Lamar, fatty denied
before the Senate LOBBY committee to-
day that he ever had told Lewis Cass
Ledyard, counsel for j. Z. Morgan 81
| Co, that he represented Speaker
| Clark, Senator Stone and other Dem
ocratic leaders in negotiations with
Wall Street" over pending legisla-
tion.
Lauterbach testified that he did go
to the late j. P. Morgan with the res
olution for investigating the steel
corporation, but not for the purpose
of shaking him down" as Lauter-
bach put it, but solely with the idea
that il Mr.. Morgan would personally
| ask Lamar to stop the resolution the
broken relations between the two men
would be restored.
Lauterbach denied that he knew of
Lamars impersonating of congress-
men in telephone conversations with
Wall Street leaders and that his pro-
posal to stop congressional investiga-
tion of the steel corporation was to
have the corporation make certain
| reforms which would make an inves-
tigation unnecessary. He fatty de-
MED having made any claims to in
fluence with members of Congress.
Senator Cummins, of the commit
tee finished his bill today, which
would serve to impose prison SEN
tence OF not more than five years or
a fine of $1,000 or BOTH upon any per-
son who sought to impersonate a
member of Congress or any other
public official. There is no law so
| far as has been discovered that will
permit of the prosecution of David
Lamar" for his impersonations of
congressman.
Before Lauterbach's examination
went on the committee in executive
session debated whether his testimony
would give him immunity from
prosecution, If it developed that he
and Lamar had violated federal or
New York State statutes.
When they resumed the hearing
Lauterbach assured the senators that
he came before the committee volun-
! tarily.
IF there is any question in your
mind as to immunity l waive it alb
solutely," said he.
Explains His Motives.
LauterbacH then explained at
length his motives for desiring to re-
habilitate himself in the good graces
of the Morgan firm. He testified that
until he had heard Representative
Palmer's testimony he knew nothing
of Lamar impersonating congress-
men. Lauterbach added he felt that
Lamar 'in some way was the cause
of the disaffection of large corpora
| tons to me-" He knew Lamar was
impulsive and hasty in his actions,
but that he had never known him to
do anything wrong.
Lamar had brought him large and
honorable business" and. had intro
duced him to "Mr. Rogers for whom
| he Gauterbach) later did important
| legal work
When Lauterbach took the witness
chair Chairman Overman read to him
a statement made last week by Lewis
Cass Ledyard a New York lawyer,
alleging that at a conference on Feb
ruary Lauterbach had represented
| himself as coming with authority of
Senator Stone and Speaker Clark to
| make proposals to j. p Morgan &
| Co. and the Steel Corporation on be-
half of the Democratic leaders in
Congress.

Some Improper Registration.

The month is drawing to a
close and with it the last chance
for a voter who wishes to parti-
cipate in the March primaries to
register with the clerk Of his
municipality.
In some Of the townships of the
state, the clerks have already
sent their registration books to
the county auditor, having regis
tered all the voters of their pre-
cincts. In many cases it is report
ed that such books show on the
party registration column, the
designations mo party don t
know won't tell are left blank.
While this feature of the new
primary act has not yet been
brought up for either judicial
determination, nor has it been
brought to the attorney general
the holding on that point, if
court precedents are to be follow
ed, would indicate that such per.
sons have not, as a matter OF
fact, registered at all. One of the
principal factors in this registr.
alton is the separation Of the
parties in the primary, setting
the voters Of each party aside
from the other to settle their
own party differences and tht
man without a party is lost
