said he saw no right on his part to
interfere with the order of the COM
mission. The only question, he de-
clared, was whether or not the
Legislature had given the board au-
thority to tie up the road. Mr.. Har-
din called his attention to the posi-
ton of the receiver, that IL he discon-
tinues operating trains he is in con-
tempt of court, and If he continues he
will be violating the Public Utilities
order.

it is a criminal offense," said the
vice-chancellor. "If the operation of
the road means a fine and imprison-

can't order him to stop, when the or

for know you will go in the right
way"
The reports of Grand Chief Ranger
Dennis J. Flynn, of Perth Amboy,
and of Grand Secretary Warren L. j..
Jobes. of Hoboken, occupied nearly
the entire morning.
In his address to the assembled
delegates Mr. Flynn forecasted a
rapid expansion of the Foresters, and
put before them several plans for a
bigger oder. both numerically and
financially. He expressed the belief
that one of the weakest points of the
order was that there were too many
fcfNs Of
the State, and recommended to the
convention that steps be taken at
once to formulate plans to bring
about the amalgamation of all small
courts where two or more are located
together and where conditions war
rant such action. The reason given
was that by this means the courts
could concentrate their efforts and
reduce their operating expenses.
Grand Secretary Warren l.. ]. Jobes
reported that in spite of the keen OPP
position in the fraternal world the
order was at present in excellent con-
dition. He outlined some of the inn
portant features of the ye,u. The
number of courts on May l. 1872, was,
he said. las, while on May IL of the
present year the number had dwin-
died to 145, showing a loss of three.
AS to membership the loss for the
year of 1912 had been 304, but during
the period of time between May l,
1912, and May l, 1918, the gain in
membership amounted to 54S. No new
courts had been established, he said,
but several applications for charters
had been received, which bore prom

PROSECUTOR MUM
ON BRIBERY CASE
Refuses to Discuss Matter,
Court Fails to Mention 1t
to Grand Jury.

Prosecutor Louis Hood maintains
silence as to whether steps will be
taken by his office to investigate the
alleged attempt to bride Assembly
man Simon L. Fisch, William Mcguire
and Louis Lewis, said to have been
made by Joseph cavanaugh, an at
tache of the internal revenue office
of this city.
1t was generally expected that
this matter would form part of Judge
Martins charge to the second April
grand jury. but it was not men
toned. After the charge had been
delivered, Prosecutor Hood was asked
what action, If any. he contemplated
taking.
II prefer not to discuss the matter
at this time" was his reply as he
hustled into the freeholders' room to
confer with Coroner John II. Broemel
and the jury that will investigate the
fire department automobile killing
case.
While Mr.. Hood refuses to discuss
the matter. it is known that he con-
siders the facts so far CLEANED in the
public prints from the assemblymen
Cavanaugh is alleged to have APP
preached as vague and indefinite. 1t
has been pointed out that conspiracy
in the charge that would have to be
proven in connection with the alleged
attempted bribery. and conspiracy is
the hardest of all criminal offenses
to prove, say lawyers.
1t is also pointed out that no actual
or definite thing passed between Cav
anaugh and any of the men named
as approached by him. and that as
far as known up to the present time
the entire matter never got further
than the talking stage
1t is expected that when the spe-
cial session of the Legislature is over
Prosecutor Hood will have meeting
with Assemblymen Fisch. Mcguire
and Lewis in an endeavor to deter
mine the actual facts in the case for
himself. Mr. Hood said yesterday
that nothing official in connection
with the alleged attempt at bribery
had as yet been brought to his at
tention.

STORY OF CRUCIFIXION IN
MANUSCRIPT JUST FOUND
Michigander's Egyptian Dis

LONDON, May 13.--The Times
prints what it asserts is the first de-
tailed account of the discovery Of
Charles L. Freer, a Detroit, Mich,
man.. of the Egyptian manuscript OF
the gospels, facsimile OF which has
been presented to the British Museum
by the University of Michigan.
The manuscript is now in Washing
ton.
There is much important new ma
terial in the manuscript, particularly
in the gospels of st. John and St.
Luke, while the sixteenth chapter of
st. Mark, who told the great story of
the passion, contains verses which APP
pear in no other manuscript. Verse
IA in this chapter reads:
AT length He appeared to the
eleven as they were at table, and He
upbraided them with their incredulity
and hardness of heart, because they
did not believe them who had sent
Him after He was risen again; and
they excused themselves by saying
this age of lawlessness and unbelief
is under satan, who through the
agency of unclean spirits suffers not
the true power of God to be appre-
hended. For this cause. said they
unto Christ. reveal now at once Thy
righteousness; and Christ said to
them the limit of the years of the
power of satan is mott fulfilled. but
it draweth near. (The text here and
elsewhere is corrupD. For the sake
of those that have sinned was
given unto death that they may re-
turn into truth and sin no more. but
may inherit the spiritual and incor-
ruptible glory of righteousness in

HIS RIGHT TO INTERFERE
Line Declared by State Com
mission TO Be in a DAN
gerous Condition.

II was admitted by Vice-chancellor
Stevens today that the Court OF
fhancery is powerless to interfere
witr an order made by the Public
Utilities Commission. He would not
consider an application made by
bond holders of the New Jersey ana
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad that the COM
many be allowed to operate for sixty
DAYS more. nor would he dismiss the
receiver on the ground that the re-
ceiver is under obligation to operate
the road and is liable to Indictment
II he fails TO do so.
The New Jersey and Pennsylvahla
Railroad operates line from wat
nonR. in Norris county. TO White
House station. in Hunterdon. Fred
erick V. Pitney was appointed re-
caiyer on December 81, last, and soon
afterward was called upon to
answer to the Public Utilities COM
mission for alleged defects in the
road that made it a menace to pub
lie safety. The boards engineers
showed that It would take $1S,5O0 to
nut the road in proper condition, and
as the receiver sees no means OF
raising that amount, he came into
court today on a petition for instrue-
tons.
r. r. Must Stop Operations.
The Utilities Commission has or
dered the road to cease operations
on May Is If it can't give assurance
that it will make the repairs ordered
by the commission. Frank Sommer
apueared for the commission and re-
cited that the engineers had found
the bridge was safe and the road in
poor condition. A number of per-
sons who use the road daily were in
court to protest against closing 1t,
but they did not address the court.
They declare its operation is essential
TO their convenience, as 1T is their
only means of connecting with the
Central Railroad of New Jersey or
any other railroad.
Benjamin C. Pasl<us, a New York
attorney, appeared for a committee of
bondhoIders holding a 100000 mort
gage on the railroad and asked that
the court stay the commissions or
der for sixty days. There is a deal
on with a number of New York bank
ers. he said, whereby the New Jersey
and Pennsylvania Railroad is to be
absorbed by new 100000 line that
is to take in Morristown, Essex Fells
and Montclair and to connect with
the New Jersey Central and the Erie.
The scheme, he said, is an entirely
new one The bankers have options
on this line and on the Morristown
and Erie Railroad and expect to con-
summate the deal within the net
two months.
Road Needs $1s,500.
To carry out the commissions or
DER. the receiver will have to raise
SIS, 800 Last January he was given
leave to issue $1,000 i'll receivers GER
tificates, and of that amount he bor-
fowed $4,000. Outside of the remain
ing $4,000 and the railroads cash as
sets of about $1,000, he sees no way
of raising the money.
1t was held by Mr. Paskus that
the Utilities Commission has no au-
thority to order the road to cease
operating trains, that its only re-
sourse is to a money penalty. John

Wouldn't it be a good idea to call our

deserve it, for they have accomplished big

Therefore, in calling our team the

MUCH foolish praise has been ac-

You would think, to hear it, that
Mr. Keene had really done some

virtually useless for other purposes
than to race-that they are spin

tain as to disposition-in fact, lit

That racing will ever be re-estab-

latter the former amateur heavy
weight champion.
Next Tuesday night Savage will
meet Kubiak again. This pair have
