President Wilson's representative,

arms was as not necessary as pre-
Yiously had seemed.
on the other hand it appeared that
the original expectation of the insur-

war munitions across the line would
be lifted had been met with more defi-

General carranza and the latter's rep

last night. After conference with Mr..
Hale late TODAY Foreign Minister, Es-

outcome. He added however that there
would be another meeting, perhapa the
final one tomorrow.

Mr.. Hale from Washington have been
unusually long 1t required the entire

salvation of their country. Another rea-
son for hurrying the finale, he said, was
the eagerness of the constitutionalsts to

CHARGE AGAINST WARDEN

The prison committee of the Board
of Freenolders has under considera-
ton evidence heard yesterday in re-
gard to charges made by Mrs. Lillian
C. Martin, matron of the Caldwell
penitentiary, against Warden Ferdi-
nand J. Hosp.
Mrs Martin blamed the warden for
the discontinuance of the womens in
dustrial work-room at the penlten-
tiary. At the hearing she was rep
resented by j. Henry Harrison. Mr.
Hosp acted as his own counsel. The
witnesses were c. Richard Siday,
deputy warden; Norman b. Dayen-
port centreman; Richard Fl. Scharf,
assistant centre man, and Mrs. Mar
garet Il. Deegan, assistant matron
The warden admitted that he had
refused Mrs. Martin the use of the
Office telephone and that he had been
unable, because of his small force of
men, to spare guard for the work.
room. He declared that all the other
acquisitions of the matron were hon
ored.

INDIAN AGED 1871
VISITS CHICAGO
Another, Belonging to Mexican
Tribe, Attains 1876 and Has
Son of 100.

The approaching visit to Chicago
of Blackfoot Indian, whose age.
well authenticated is 1871 years, has
called attention IN the fact that the
most remarkable instances of long
evity among the inhabitants of the
New World are chronicled of the
aborgines.
This holds good both of North and
South America. Especially great are
the ages attained by Indians dwell
ing in the highland tropics, fact
noted by the observant Baron Won
Humboldt and scores of other travel
ers and explorers.
About two decades ago General
William Palmer, of the famous Pal
mer-Sullivan combination who built
the National railroad from Laredo to
the City of Mexico, discovered in
the state of Vera Cruz an Indian peon
working in the field who gave his age
as 1875 years.
Now usually venerable Indians
guess at their age, but in this case
there was no mistake, for General
Palmer had the parish register
searched and the entry of the mans
baptism was found. The Indian had
many descendants, and one son more
than 100 years old assisted his
father in his labors.

PRINCETON MANS PERIL0US
EXPERIENCE IN FLOOD
Harold Green, Safe, Inquiries
for His Family.

NEW YORK, March 80. - Harold
Green, a Princeton University stu
dent, arrived at the Grand Central
station last night from Columbus
with sprained ankle and in entire
ignorance as to whether his family
were alive or dead in Columbus. He
is now awaiting a message as to the
whereabouts of his family from Gov
ernor Cox, to whom he telegraphed
an inquiry on his arrival here. Harry
Pierson, a Columbus man, was with
him here.
He was on a visit home when the
high water came to Columbus, he
said. Persons sister Ruth was also
visiting at his home. On the first
day of the flood he and his entire
family got to dry land in boat.
Once there, he decided to venture
back to the house for clothing and
other necessities. lie left his family
and rowed several miles back home.
Tying the boat to a window sill on
the second story, he clambered in.
After getting a bundle together he
went back to the window to put 1t
into the boat; but the boat was gone.
The rope had been clearly cut, show
ing that the boat had been stolen.
Green was forced by the ris-
ing water TO take to the roof He
sat on the ridge pole for four hours.
At the end of that time he was taken
Off in a rescue launch and deposited
on the State street bridge
Pushed and showed by the crowd on
the bridge, Green fell and sprained
his ankle. The commander of a re-
lief launch took pity on him and in
-sited him aboard. A trip to the place
where he had left his folks showed
that it was no longer dry land, and
that none of them was in sight His
rescuer carried him to the nearest
high land and left him there.
Hours later he reached the tracks
of the Lake Shore limited railroad.
Though penniless he managed to get
to Cleveland on a train. On the way
his ankle was treated without fee by
a physician
In Cleveland he met his friend
Pierson, who was anxious about his
sister, and the two came on to New
York.

RAW WOOL IN
TARIFF REVISION
Whole Scheme, Including Grad
uated Income Tax, Completed.
Awaiting Presidents Move.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Tariff
revision, including a graduated in
come tax plan, was completed last
night by the Democratic majority of
the House committee on ways and
means, which adjourned sine die. The
President will make the next move,
probably comforting with Chairman
Underwood, of the committee, within
day or two.
The plan as finally passed upon by
the committee majority is understood
TO provide for raising the income tax
revenue on a graduated scheme,
eXempting incomes under $4,000, be-
ginning with per cent. tax on in
comes of $4,000, and running as high
as 4 per cent. on incomes of 500, 000
and upward.
It was said last night that the plan
retains the provision for free raw
sugar and for free raw cotton and the
10 per cent. tax on raw wool A fight
is expected both in the House and in
the Senate for a change to free raw
wool, instead of the Is per cent. duty.
The free-sugar plan is counted upon
to be fought out when the Senate
takes up the revision work.
The net result of the committees
work viii be outlined to the Demo-
cratic caucus of the House for ap-
proval within forty-eight hours after
the converting of the extra session of
Congress, on April 7. Meantime Presi-
dent Wilson is expected to ask Mr.
Underwood to the White House to go
over the whole tariff plan.
While the majority of the Demo-
Gratis on the committee SO far favor
single tariff measure, there are
powerful influences in Congress that
favor a .schedule-by-sch revision.

DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES

has violated every election pledge
made by the Democratic party last
November. and that it was a most
reactionary body, was made by Henry
f. Hilfers, secretary of the Essex
Trades Council. at meeting of that
organization last night. He further
stated that the next Governor would
be a progressive Republican unless
the present Legislature redeemed it
self.
He further declared that the Demo-
cratic party had failed to support
bills which would have been favor
able to organized labor, and cited the
Senate's failure to pass the anti-in-
junction bill after it had been passed
by the Assembly.
Hugh Reilly, Socialist candidate for
mayor at the last election, followed
Mr.. Hilfers. He said that these facts
should be remembered at the next
election.
