SUFFRAG|STS TALK
OF CONSTITUTION
National Association Asks Will
son to Urge Congress for
Ballot Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-Discussion
of a budget and of a new constitn-
ton for the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association, the sending
of a committee to urge President Will
son to send a message to Congress
asking Immediate consideration of
woman suffrage amendment and cleo
tion OF officers for the ensuing year
were the features on today's program
OF the convention in forty fifth an
nual session here.
Debate over the adoption of a. new
constitution centred around the pro-
posed method of raising the money
among the State and other affiliated
ORGANIZATIONS to carry on the work
of the national body.
The States rights question was in
vblVed in the discussion, many of the
Delegates fearing that State and To-
cal suffrage bodies would be weak
ened If the national organization were
allowed to secure hts money as pro-
posed.
Mrs. Medill Mccormick and Mrs.
Desha breckenridge, the committee
of two appointed by the National
Woman's Suffrage convention to ask
President Wilson to see delegates.
called at the White House offices to-
day and laid their request before As
slstant Secretary Forster Secretary
Tumulty had gone to Jersey City to
attend the funeral of a relative.
The committee was told that the
President was i'll today, and they
asked that he receive some time to-
morrow. They were informed that if
the President had sufficiently i'm
proved tomorrow he might be able to
receive them, but that the matter
probably could not be determined
until later.
The Illinois delegation of suffra-
gists had a special engagement ar
ranged by Senator Sherman to be re-
ceived today. Senator Shafroth, of
Colorado was to have taken some of
the suffrage leaders from his State to
the White House, but the engage
ments were set aside on account of
the Presidents illness.

Package of Bracelets
Found on Train May Go
to Conductor Finding Them

Solid gold bracelets, whole pack
age of them, possibly the property of
some Newark woman, are likely to
pass into the possession of a conduc-
tor on the Pennsylvania railroad.
He found them on a tube train
nearly a month ago. In thirty days
more they will be his, by virtue OF
the law the State of New Jersey has
enacted to make legal the small boys
motto of findings keeping. That
is, If the woman who owns them does
not come forward and prove her own
ership to the satisfaction of the rail-
road claim department before the ex-
piration of that time.
Just now the magnificent circlets
of gold are in the safe of the station
agent at the Park place terminal of
the Manhattan Rapid Transit line.
The railroad authorities are certain
that the bracelets are not the prop
erty of a jewelry salesman or anyone
accustomed to business usages, or
their loss would have been reported
to the railroad and the police long
ago. Hence it is concluded by Sher-
lock Holmes process of elimination
that it must have been woman who
lost them.
The records of the lost and found
at the Pennsylvania sta
ton in New York show that since
the new terminal was opened three
years ago 21,19S articles have been
picked up on incoming trains. That
is an average of 1000 articles a year.

Pathetic Scene at Home

Death in New York Elevator

did my papa come with you?"
A reporter who called yesterday at
the home of William J. Krauth, of
410 William street, Harrison. to learn
the details of the killing of Krauth
in "a New York accident, was asked
this question by a little dark-eyed
daughter of the dead man. When a
negative answer was given the little
one remarked: II guess he'll be here
in a little while"
His dead body reached home last
night. The accident in which he lost
his life occurred in the new building
of Lord & Taylor, at Fifth avenue
and Thirty ninth street. Another
man, William Bracket, of Brooklyn,

signal man, of New York, was prob
ably fatally injured when the floor Of

BIG POSTOFF|CE !
TRAFFIC SETS IN
Christmas Rush Already in Evil
dence-BOck to Use Cellar
of Building.

Anticipating the heaviest holiday
traffic the local postoffice has ever
experienced, Postmaster Frank J.
Book is making extensive prepara-
lions to be in readiness for the flood
of Christmas parcels and ffrst-class
matter which will soon be encoun-
tered.
The Christmas rush is already be-
ginning to affect the money order
department, and the clerks are re-
ouired to exert themselves to the
limit to meet the demands of the in
creased business. The present rush is
caused by the mailing of money TO
foreign countries. 1t will gradually
increase in volume until the middle
of the month, when the foreign busi-
ness will gradually die off and give
way to local transfers.
The parcels post system VIII be re-
sponsible for the additional traffic IN
the fourth class mail matter, not only
because this is the first Christmas
holiday season the system has been
in effect, but more on account of the
recent increase for the first three
years from eleven to twenty pounds
in the maximum weight figure. The
raising of the weight limit will almost
double the traffic. many of the local
postal officials declare.
The increase in the first class mat
ter will be confined mostly to postal
cards and money order letters. The
delivery of letters will be given pref
erence over the post cards, which will
not be delivered until the greatest
part of the extra traffic has been
cleared.
To meet the additional business.
Postmaster Book has arranged to use
the cellar of the postoffice and the cor
ridors on the third and fourth floor.
1t is planned to build a chute from the
parcels post stamp window to the cell
lar, down which all the parcels re-
ceived for dispatch will be sent for
distribution. Bids for the construc-
ton of this chute and a partition in
the cellar will be opened next Tuesday
and the contract awarded.
The parcels post traffic coming into
the postoffice from outside the city
or for delivery within the city limits
will be carried to the third and fourth
floor in the elevator and there sorted.
Postmaster Book anticipates that
at least $50 additional clerks will be
needed to meet the demands of the
Christmas rush in all the departments.
These men will be taken from the
eligible list which was established as
a result of the last examinations.
The additional assistants will be en-
ployed as clerks and carriers and will
be kept on duty until the business re-
sumes it's normal size.

MORE EVIDENCE
OF SMITHS WAYS
Alleged Wrecker of RoseviIle
Trust, According to Testi-
mony, Great. Manipulation"

More evidence of the loose-handed
business meth dds oe Raymond ID.
Smith, former secretary treasurer of
the cefunct Roseville Trust Company
and alleged wrecker of the institution,
were laid bare by Francis W. Hol-
brook. of Ackermanville, Pa. pro-
moter of the Home Ice and Products
Company, one of the pet" companies
financed by anIfth. 1t was given in
his testir1ny to Wilfred C. Roszel,
attorney for the receiver of the cor
poration George Furst, before Edwin
G. Adams, referee in bankruptcy,
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Holbrook was represented at
the hearing by Samuel S. Swackham-
er, a prominent attorney of Plainf1eld
and former member of the Assembly.
Holbrook is the promoter of the town
site of Howarth, in Bergen County,
and was before the Chancery Court
here several years ago on the manner
in which the property was developed
and promoted.
Banking Department Men Listen.
Much interest was attached to the
testimony given by Holbrook by the
attaches of the State Banking De-
partmeut and Ray q. Mayham was
an interested party at the hearing.
The interest of the Banking Depart
ment officials was In the statement
of Holbrook that the Home Ice and
Products Company was organized in
such q secretive way.
The original incorporators Accord
ing to Holbrook were three men,
Thomas J. Eason, p. G. Spencer and
Mr.. Mcbride, prominent real estate
operator of the Roseville section, who
acted as the incorporators to please
Smith, G.. Rowland Munroe and Mr.
Holbrook, who In reality were the
owners of practically all of the stock
of the company
When the question If the three men
were not merely dummies was put to
him Holbrook smiled and in a sarcas-
tic way replied: II would not like
to call the gentlemen dummies as
they are respected gentlemen. They
simply did 1t as favor to us, be-
cause, for various reasons, we lid
not want to be mentioned in the arti-
Giles of Incorporation at the time. 1t
is the usual custom employed
Smiths BilI-Paying Methods shown.
Another thing that was of interest
in the way of bearing out testimony
of others who have been interviewed
was the way in which Smith
paid and collected the bills and out
standing obligations of the ice COM
pany. At times during the life of the
corporation, no bookkeepers were en-
ployed, and when Mr.. Holbrook
wanted to know whether or not the
bills he had sent out had been paid
the only way he had was to go to the
persons or firms indebted to the cor
poration and in diplomatic way get
the information.
'I did not like the manner in which
Mr.. Smith did business, but I thought
at the time he was too much en-
crossed In his banking business, and
took his excuses that he had no time.
The recent Investigations show that
Smith was engrossed in the banking
business"
Holbrook further testified that he
had drawn checks on his own per-
sonal account to pay off the employ
ees of the company, and that he made
vouchers out of his checks by writ
ing across the face of them what
the money was for "In most cases;

the same remarks on the checks ap-
pear on the stubs of my personal
check book
Testimony Similar to scarlett's.
The testimony of Holbrook resem-
bles in a striking degree that of John
B. Scarlet given to the same attor-
ney several weeks ago. Holbrook de-
clared that Smith had told him to
draw on the Roseville Trust Com
pany against the latter's personal ac-
count as long as it was thought adj
visable. When I think you have
drawn too much money l will tell
you,' Smith said.
Asked If he was not the promoter
of the Home Ice and Products Com
pany, and If 1t were not he who had
persuaded Smith to finance the cor
poration, Holbrook replied: II do not
care to dignity myself by calling
myself a promoter, but the organl-
cation of the corporation was my own
idea, and | was the one that inter-
ested Smith in the company"
When asked what the company had
paid for the Johnsonville, Pa, plant
of the company, called the Portland
Ice Company, Holbrook told Roszel
SOS. 900. He further said that they had
paid too much money for the plant.
"Of course, this was our first pur--
chase, and as we were inexperienced
in the ice business we did not know
the true value of the property. They
gave $4,000 worth of notes, as
sumed $4,000 worth of debts of the
company, and gave a $4,000 bonded
debt of the COMPANY when they pur-
chased the plant
Holbrool1 said that he was prepar-
ing a statement for the State bank
ing department. He claims to have
paid to Smith about $4,000, of which
81, 900 or $4,000 was his own money.
The corporation would have made
money If 1t had been conducted prop
erly, Holbrook thought. He testified
that he had never had a passbook
from the Roseville Trust Company
for the account of the Home Ice and
Products Company.
Did you ever leave your own pass
book to be balanced?" Attorney Ros-
eel asked Mr.. Holbrook.
Eyes, after repeated requests on
my part, Smith took my passbook to
have it balanced, but 1t was never
returned, although / asked him for 1t
right along. I do not know what
he did with it, as it has never been
