WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The six
administration Democrats of the Sen.
ate banking committee met today to
continue work on the currency bill
they will report to the Senate. while
Senator Hitchcock, the so-ealled in
surgent Democrat. met with the five
Republicans and worked ON a dissent
ing report.
The opposing camps separated by
mutual agreement and will not meet
in joint session again until Saturday.
Meantime, however, they will ex-
change views informally.
The plan today was to have both
wings agree on the details of the bill
wherever possible.
A full committee report will be sub
mitted to the Senate possibly II ,1day
embracing all the features of the ad-
ministration bill except the few fun
damentals on which the comm ttee is
divided. On those points q disagree
ment will be reported and they will
be laid before the Senate to be de-
cided.
The administration senators will
report a bill for eight regional banks
with practically all the other rrovi-
SONS of the House. The Republi-
cans and Senator Hitchcock will urge
that the number of banks be .aduced
to four and that the banks be pub
licly owned and government con-
trolled.

Despondent, III and Without
Work, Louis Sanford
Hangs Self.

Homesick for the sunny shores OF
his native land. Louis Santora, fifty
two years old, committed suicide by
hanging himself in the celia of his
home at 301 Lafayette street, today
Santora, who recently came to this
country from Italy. has been in Ill
health since his arrival here and was
unable to RAISE funds to take him
back to- Italy. He had been out of
work for several months and was de-
spondent.
He left the house of his nephew,
Angelo Fratello. with whom he board
ed at the Lafayette street address,
early today to seek work. An hour
later his dead body was found hang
ing suspended from beam in the
cellar by ten-year- Carrie Fratel-
10. She summoned her father, who
with the help of a neighbor, cut down
the body and notified the police.
1t is thought that Sanford bought
the rope after his unsuccessful quest
for work today. The ceiling of the
cellar is very low and to strangle
himself the man was forced to lift his
feet from the floor. County Physic an
Mckenzie viewed the body and said
that the man had been dead only a
short time when he was discovered.
He ordered the body removed to Null
Inns morgue.
Santoraa has n daughter living In
Adams street, this city, and a son,
who lives in East Newark. He left
no word of explanation to his rela-
tives.

money paid out under the widows
pension law.
The petition of Mrs. Weinrich was
one of the first received after the

urgent. the payment was ordered by
the Court of Common Pleas. 1t is the
intent on of the court to go slow in
q matter of passing on petitions for
widows pensions until the law has
been amended in a number of partic-
ulars which at present are not sat-
isfactorv to the authorities having to
do with the law.

Evans and County Counsel Benjamin
F. Jones.
In the case of the county clerk $3.50
was requested for the purpose of hav-
ing books of recogniZances and other
record rewritten. These books are in
constant use by title searchers and
others and rapidly become dirty and
torn and go to pieces through rough
handling.
F Freebooter Richard r. Malta took
exception to the request, stating that
the county clerk by having this work
done by extra clerks was evading the
civil service law in that the work was
done in small lots and that by tenn
porary appointments for sixty day
period 1t was unnecessary to make APP
pointments from an eligible list fur
nished by the Civil Service Commits
sion.
Mr.. Malta made a motion that the
books In question be investigated by
the finance committee to see whether
they We're really in bad shape or not.
This motion was Immediately Sec
onded by Mr.. Gilbert, and the mat
ter dropped.
An inspection of the books shows
them to be in very bad condition.

Hope Is Attorney-General.

TRENTON, Nov. 13.-The Court of

the prisoner to be mentally lrrespon.
sible
The degree of Overton's insanit,

son and when his child was born,
soon after. he tied his wife and the

and strangled them. He was tried
and convicted of murder in the first
degree In the Essex County Court
and sentenced to death.
His counsel, Frank M. McDermit,
carried the case to the Court of Err
rors and Appeals, but the Essex
court decision was affirmed there.
Former Acting Governor Fielder was
then besought to reprieve Overton, In
order to allow his sanity to be inves-
tigated. Mr.. Fielder granted the con-
demned man a reprieve OF ninety
days, which will expire on November
10.
In the meantime commission con-
sisting of Drs Evans Cotton and
Reddan, after Investigating the SAN
ity of Overton, reported to Governor

JOHNSON -DENoUNoEs JOINING
OF TWO PARTIES

OF. TWO PARTIES
Gov. Hiram Johnson of California
last night denounced the idea of
amalgamating the Progressive and
the Republican parties and also the
members of the Bull Moose party
who favored such, an alliance. His
attack was made in a speech before
the Progressive Club
With what de we want to ANAL
gamate? Do Cummins and Borah
want us to consolidate with Penrose,
with Barnes and with other such G.
Or leaders? We've endorsed these
leaders once. Do they want us to go
back to those people and those prin-
ciples which we have repudiated?
Either those gentlemen who want
us to consolidate believe the label of
Republicanism more important than
all else on earth or they do not be-
ieve in real progressivism. Their pro-
posal will not be accepted by red
blooded Progressives We are not go
ing to fool around big grandfather's
clock that has lost its function.
Today, my friends, the dominant
party in the United States is the Pro-
gressive party. 1t is dominant be-
cause it is the dominant political
thought in every mans mind.
mo man in any state dare become
a candidate unless he at least, pre-
tends to be progressive All along the
line the thought in the minds of men
and women is the thought of progress
sivism.
"Only brief period will elapse bet
fore that thought shall crystalline =;
through organization and there will
be carried into effect every progress
sive principle. No man who has any
belief in progressive principles should
be faint-hearted." 80.
