Physicians at the institution, how

wife is so years old.
Mrs. Allen, with her husband, Cap

they forced an entrance. Mr. Allen

Mr. Allen rushed the old people to

.HAUSSL|NG vETOES
PAVING RESOLUTION
Objects to City Buying Wood
Blocks for the Broad
Street Work.

Offering particular objection to the
plan of having the-city purchase the
wood block for the pavement of
Broad street and furnishing 1t to the
contractor. Mayor Haussling today
returned to the Board of Works,
without his approval, the resolution
directing the engineer to advertise for
proposals for the work, which was
adopted last week.
The resolution in question provides
FOR the division of Broad street intn
four sections, and also provides
alternative bids. 1t allows contractors
of the block. etc, and also permits
proposals for only the construction
work, in this instance the blocks to
be provided by the city.
The mayors veto follows:
81 return herewith without my an
proval a resolution adopted by your
honorable body on April II last, pro
viding certain specifications for the
proposed paving of Broad street with
wood block, and directing the chief
engineer to advertise for proposals
for the work.
aside from the general objection
| have to the use of wood block on
Broad street, | have two particular
objections to this resolution. One is
that it contemplates, or, at all events.
would leave the way open to the fur
nishing by the city of wood block to
contractors. Under such circum-
stances, of course, no guarantee could
be exacted, and as | consider wood
block to be an inferior pavement and
some kinds of wood block inferior to
others, | feel that If it Is to be laid
it should be laid under the very
strictest of guarantees in every de-
tail of the work II the city had
adopted, or were about to adopt, the
system of purchasing its own ma
terial as. general proposition, that
would be different matter but to
furnish material of this kind for this
one particular work seems to me to
be highly Objectionable.
THE other proposition is that the
paving of the extreme southern por-
tion of Broad street Is provided for.
/ believe that there is a preponderant
sentiment among the property-owners
of that section against any repaving
whatsoever, and I believe that their
wishes should be respected

HELD READY FOR

Second Day of Violence
at Perth Amboy.
WOMAN SHOT, WORKER
BEATEN IN FIERCE RIOT
5000 Men Now Out-Death

Quit Factories.
lspeclol to the Newark starI

PERTH AMBOY, n. J.. April "a
The strike situation here is becoming
more alarming every hour. Follow
ing the pitched battles last night be-
tween two hundred strikers and fifty
armed deputies. in which a man and
a woman were injured. the strike
fever is spreading today and has al
ready affected a dozen factories and
5000 men. and another general labor
uprising like the one of last year is
imminent.
The Barber Asphalt Company's en-
ployees are the latest to walk out.
They quit in sympathy with the strik-
ing clay burners from the three plants
of the National Fireproofing Com
pany, and the proximity of this plant
to the American Smelling and Refin-
ing Works, the seat of last years
disorder, may bring out the en-
ployees of that company.
Armed Deputies Sworn In.
Sheriff Albert BoIlschweiler swore
in fifty armed deputies last night and
stationed them at the fireproofing
plant, where the strikers show a will
ingness to fight. This morning he
called up the wadell & Mahon Cor
poration, in New York, which sup
piled the men, and asked that they
arrange for 1000 other men and hold
them In readiness with rifles and
general militia equipment to respond
on moments notice.
This was done after the strikers
had attempted to storm the Didier-
March plant at Keasbey. Under cover
of darkness about 100 of them made
a concerted rush for the gatehouSt
through which the few non-strikeH
would pass ON their way out. The'
deputies anticipated the move#a and
headed them off with clubs and gun
stocks. In the disorder John Bike.
a foreman, was set upon and beaten.
He was later taken to the City Hos
pital in precarious condition. Three
of the strikers were captured by the
deputies and were taken to the county
Jail at New Brunswick today.
In another fracas In the afternoon.
when the strikers attempted to scale
the wall of the plant, the deputies
fired over the heads of the crowd.
Mary Vickta, of 612 Charles street,
said to be a daughter of one of the
strikers, was shot. She was taken to
the City Hospital, where it was said
she would recover.
The strikers early this morning be-
gan to gather about the gate-house of
the Didier- March Company and its
neighbor. the Standard plant of the
National -proofing Company.
Perth Amboy and Woodbridge police
were rushed there to aid the deputies,
and soon after dawn there was an
other battle. No one was injured. 1t
is likely that these battles will con-
tinue as long as thes protective force

Slayer Hanged
by Slow Process

UNIONTOWN, Pa, April 24.-Due
to bungling on the part of some one,
John Harris negro, condemned to
death, was not executed with the
humanity that is supposed to charac-
terize hanging. Harris was placed
on the scaffold at the county Jail here
today, and when it was sprung the
rope was about three feet too long.
The victim fell to the ground be-
meath the scaffold, and with the rope
around his neck, landed on his knees,
where he remained motionless for
several minutes.
1t was thought the drop had broken
his neck until he started 20 rise to
his feet Then the sheriff and his
deputies jumped to the scaffold,
pulled Harriss body by the rope
until the feet were clear of the hoor-
ing. For eighteen minutes the con-
demned man struggled and twisted,
his contortions eyidencing the intense
agony of strangling to death.
Harris shot and killed a fellow ne
gro last May. The execution is the
twelfth in the history of the county.

South Dakota, had no objection to the
appointment of James Coffey as col
lector of internal revenue for the Da-
kota district, and the President told
them he intended to nominate Corey
Senator LaFollette came for a short
talk and had an earnest conversation
with the President He said 1t con-

VIENNA ULTIMATUM HAS

Montenegrin King Declares Eu-

Take City Away.

LONDON. April 24.-"Take imme-
diate action to turn the Montenegrins
out of Scutari, or we shall do 1t
alone" declares a circular note sent
by the Austro- Hungarian government
to the powers today. The note Is
virtually an ultimatum.
Austria Hungary declares she can
not permit the Montenegrins to fiout
the decision of the great powers. The
prestige of the European nations has
been violated, says the note, and
Austria-Hungary demands that the
powers decide promptly on the steps
to be taken to restore that prestige.
CETTINJE, Montenegro, April "a
'"Scutari Is from today Montenegrin,
was the defiant reply of King Mich
olas today to the European invitation
to surrender the hard-won Turkish
citadel.
The king made this statement in the
course of a speech delivered from the
balcony of the royal palace. Among
his audience were the ministers of the
Balkan States who came to congratu-
late him. He added.
SHOULD Europe still think Of
snatching Scutari from Montenegro,
which has given her life blood to take
1t, Europe will have to carry out the
task by force of arms"
BERLIN, April 24.-There are many
indications here today that the Ger
man government and public regard
the European situation as critical. A
high diplomatic official said today:
Europe has entered another crisis as
grave as that which preceded the
Austro- Russian rehabilitation"
The press bureau of the German
foreign office. contrary to its usual
custom, was not prepared today with
a statement either in regard to the
nltimatum to Montenegro or to the
general situation. An official, how
ever, believed it probable that force
would have TO be employed to expel
ahe Montenegrins from Scutari.
The official view here is that all the
European powers will work together
until the problem has been solved.

MRS. C|CCONE NOT
TO DIE IN CHAIR
The Pardons Court Commutes
Death Sentence to Life
imprisonment.

TRENTON. N. j.. April 24.-In a
special session of the Court Of Par
dons this afternoon, the death SEN
tence of Mrs. Madeline Ciccone. of
Newark, for the murder of her hus-
band, was commuted to life imprison-
ment. Mrs. Ciccone was under SEN
tence of death in the electric chair
next week.
The Court of Pardons was in ses-
sion only about ten minutes and Gov
ernor Fielder presided over the ses-
sion. The fact that Mrs. Ciccone as
sisted the State in the prosecution of
Antonio Fiore. also indicted for the
same crime is largely responsible for
the commutation of the death SEN
tence.
Prosecutor Hood submitted to the
Court of Pardons a letter suggesting
that the sentence of Mrs. Ciccone be
commuted because of the fact she
had turned States evidence and
would enable the prosecution to con-
Wet Anthony Fiore. Assistant Prose-
cutor Mott also submitted to the court
a history of the case and showed how
it would be impossible to convict
Fiore without the testimony of Mrs.
Ciccone.
Mrs. Madeline Ciccone was married
eighteen years ago to Leonardo Gle
cone in Italy. Ten years ago they
came to America and made their
home in Newark. Mrs. Ciccone's mar
ried sister, Mrs. Antonio Fiore, came
with themt Two years ago Fiore
commenced to pay a great deal of
attention to Mrs. Ciccone. Ciccone
noticed this and had several quarrela
with Fiore.
In March, 1912, Mrs. Ciccone
dropped arsenic in her husbands cof-
fee. He became seriously i'll, and
during his illness Mrs. Ciccone and
FLore were arrested. Soon after their
arrest Ciccone died. Mrs. Ciccone
and Fiore were charged with his
death.
