g. O.iP. SENATOR'S PLAN
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
To Institute Fight to Control
Congress in 1914.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Repub-
lican senator's at a conference today
appointed a committee of five to con-
fer with members of the House on
the advisability of an early joint
caucus to organize a congressional
campaign committee, establish head
quarters and organize for the coming
congressional campaign.
The senators named were Gallinger,
Townsend, Norris, Jones and Clark
of Wyoming. Senator Gallinger pre-
sided at the conference, which was
attended by thirty-one senators,
among them Senators Cummins,
sherman and Norris, of the Pro-
gressive Republicans.
1t was the prevailing opinion that
the campaign to elect a Republican
congress in 1914 should begin at once
and that the campaign committee
should be composed of representatives
and senators, the plan already adopt
ed by the Democrats, at the sugges-
ton of President Wilson.
The conference also developed the
unanimous opinion that publicity
headquarters should be opened and
the campaign committee formed at
once.
1t was planned to call the joint
caucus next week. The Cancellation
committee of Progressive Republicans
named by Senator Sherman as the re-
suit of the recent Chicago conference
TO urge national convention next
fall will meet here tomorrow to plan
for the meeting of the national execu-
tive committee here Saturday.

SOMETHING HAPPENED
WHEN STEEL SUIT BEGAN
Dickinson Comments on Pres
FarreIl's Decline Tale.

NEW YORK. May 22.-James A.
Farrell, president of the United States
Steel Corporation, took the witness
stand today for ross-examination in
the hearings of the government suit
to dissolve the corporation under the
Sherman antitrust law. He was
first questioned by Judge Dickinson.
counsel for the government, on the
price lists issued by the corporations
subsidiaries. He reiterated that by
means of these lists lit was generally
true that our prices are known to the
trade"
Did you ever have a secret con-
tract with the American Can Com
pany?" asked the government. attor-
ney.
They were given a price lower
than other buyers, but that is be-
cause they are large buyers" replied
the witness. He did not consider the
agreement secret.
In an effort to refute the testimony
of the witness that prices had con
stantly declined" since the organiza-
ton of the corporation, Judge Dick
inson questioned him on an exhibit
showing the course of prices in vari-
Gus products. Mr.. Farrell conceded
that between 1904 and 1910, the year
before the suit was filed. there had
been a constant advance in many
products. Some of them had adj
vanced in previous years, he conced-
ed, while other products were higher
in 1910 than in 1904. Mr.. Farrell called
attention to the fact that in 1911 and
1912 prices were practically lower.
I'VE don't take those years into
consideration, because we think some
things began to happen after the
filing of this BILL" commented Judge
Dickinson, land the Stanley COM
mittee also was investigating the
Steel Corporation in 1911.
"Of all the products 1 have asked
about the only one showing con-
slant decline is concrete reinforce
ment, is 1t note" asked the govern
ment attorney.
Eyes, the others are variable" said
the witness.

BLUECOAT ilo ,'- BY MAN
HURT BY RUNAWAY AUTO

The efforts OF Patrolman Cornelius
Hearn, of the With precinct, to stop
a runaway automobile last March
resulted disastrously for Charles Mus
grave, of 10 First street, who got
in it's zig-zagging path and sustained
fractured skull. Now the disas-
trous effects have taken another turn,
this time for Patrolman Hearn, who
has just been named in a suit for
$4,000 damages brought by the auto s
victim.
Musgrave has retained Charles A.
Mason and the suit has been brought
in the Supreme Court. He sets out
that he was walking along Orange
street, between Third and Fourth
streets, when the automobile, with
Patrolman Hearn at the Wheel
dashed across the curb and pinned
him against a stoop, fracturing his
skull and otherwise injuring him.
He was taken to the City Hospital.
He declares he has been injured for
life.
Hearn says he was walking along
Nesbit street when he saw the
chauffeurless machine coming along
Orange street. He jumped aboard
and tried to stop the car, but before
he could figure out the levers he
had run up on the curb, injuring
Musgrave. He has retained Louis l.
Beers.

afternoon. at which time the matter,

Secretary William Lee, of the Es-
sex County Mosquito determination
Commission, appeared before the

good" for the growth of mosquitoes
and that as a result the commission
would need $4,000, instead of $1,000,
of it's appropriation June l next.
The committee agreed with the
commission that 1t was better to fight
the mosquito pest early in the season
and will arrange to turn over the
amount requested to the commission.
The sum of 500 was voted as ex-
penses for Chief of County Detec-
tives Frederick Weimer during his
visit to the convention of the Inter-

HOLDS UP FUND
OF SCHEUER SALE
Action Instituted in chancery
by Mrs. Lena Apfelbaum,
Daughter of Founder.

The $146, 600 due the Seheuer estate
at Broad and Commerce streets yes
terday will not be turned over to the
estate thirty days after the confirma-
ton of the sale by the Orphans
Court. The Court of chancery has
interceded, and the money will prob
ably become court fund for a year
or more to come.
Vice Chancellor Howell who yes-
terday denied the application of Mrs.
Lena Apfelbaum, of Osborne ter
race, for an injunction to hold up the
sale, allows her relief by withhold
ing the distribution of the sale money
until internal litigation among the
heirs of Simon Seheuer is settled, thus
giving her an opportunity to litigate
the validity of her claim before the
distribution is ordered. Mrs. Apfel-
baum, who is a daughter of the late
simon Scheuer, objected to the sale
on the ground that debts of the other
heirs had forced it. whereas her in
terest was free and clear.
Incidentally, it was brought out
that the Scheuer building is being
operated at a loss of $4,000 a wear.
The vice-chancellor ordered the dis
tribution OF the sale money withheld
on the application of Chauncev a.
Parker, counsel for Mrs. Apfelbaum.
and In making the order and denv-
ing the injunction on the sale he
said:
"lnasmueh as, if all claims OBJ
Jected to by the bill were rejected
there would still be deficiency of
personality to pay the debts of the
deceased, there exists on the face of
the papers a situation which must
ultimately require a sale of the lands
py the executors under the present
Orphans Court order.
This court ought not, bv its in
Junction, to interfere with the pro-
posed sale at the present time for the
Following reasons: The property ia
not carrying itself, there being a loss
OF $4,000 year. and there is M lilrli-
hood that the property would fetch
more at the end of the pending suit
imam 1t will at present. On the con-
trary, 1t Is probably that by that tims
the interest on the mortgages would
pc SO far in arrears as to induce the
mortgages to institute foreclosure
proceedings.
The complainant, however, is not
wholly without remedy. She may OBJ
Ject to the confirmation of the sale.
and her rights are further to be con-
served by Withholding the distribu-
ton of the sale fund until the final
decree in the case, thus giving her an
opportunity to litigate the validity of
her claim before the distribution is
ordered"
While the sale money in the main
cannot be touched under the order.
the vice-chancellor provides for the
distribution of portion of 1t, If the
estate comes into chancery and shows
a proper reason.

ADAMS
REBUKES LAWYER
Accuses Attorney of Trying to
Represent Receiver and
Bankrupt.

Bankruptcy Referee Edwin G.
Adams today severely reprimanded
Roland d. Croker, an attorney, for
an alleged attempt to represent both
the receiver and the bankrupt in
the Earl & Cook bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
w. Rookie Rockwell was appointed
receiver by Referee Adams, but
Crocker, it is understood, expected
that Attorney John A. Bernhard
would be appointed, as it is claimed
that Crocler had already asked Bern
hard If he would serve and received
an affirmative answer.
Croker was subpoenaed to the
Bankruptcy Court today by Referee
Adams himself in an effort to deter
mine If he had been representing
the bankrupt firm of Earl & Cook
and also the receiver. The referee
asked him If he had ever represented
the bankrupt, and he replied that he
had not done SO, but had represented
the receiver, whom he thought to be
Attorney John A. Bernhard. Then 1t
was brought out that Croker had
received a check for SIPS from the
bankrupt concern
What was that money for?" asked
the referee.
THAT was to pay Bernhard for
acting as receiver replied Croker.
Bernhard was called to the stand
and denied that he had ever re-
ceived any money from Croker.
On the stand the referee told
Croker that he was trying to con-
ceal the facts.
you told me a story" said the
referee and knew 1t when you were
telling it. ~ believe Bernhard be-
cause he told a straight story and
did not have to come back and ex-
plain it all over as you did. You
knew you had that check cashed and
kept every cent of it, I'm going to
break this practise up. You tried it
in the Chambers matter too"

SMYRNA, Asia Minor, May a.
The French liner Senegal lies peached
on the harbor front here today, half
of one side torn out by the accidental
explosion of a mine as she was leav-
ing port late yesterday
The explosion was terrific one, in
stantly killing five persons and ia
tally injuring six others.
Fortunately for those on board, the
liner was close to shore and in shall
low water. and maintained enough
Roadway after the explosion to en-
able the captain to run her aground
All the uninjured members of the
crew and the passengers were land
ed safely.
The steering gear and most OF the
other machinery escaped injury from
the explosion, and owing to this fact
the captain and his engineer were
able to beach the vessel, thus in all
probability saving the lives of most
of those on board.
The steamer went aground near
the fortress, and the garrison gave
all possible assistance.

WASHINGTON. May 22.
A possible diplomatic appointment

ing urged for the post of minister to
Ecuador.
Brandt was formerly publisher of
the Arena magazine, which was
among the pioneer publications de-
voted to direct vote and peoples rule.
His qualifications for the South
American post are being urged at
the White House and the department
of state, not alone by members of the
New Jersey delegation in Congress,
but by Progressive senators and rep
resentatives from other parts of the
country. and by many business in
terests.
The Trenton man, together with
congressman Walsh and Bremner, of
New Jersey, called on Secretary
Bryan this morning and was given
cordial reception.
An unique feature of the Brandt
candidacy is that the idea Of the
ministership was first suggested to
him by a number of prominent citi-
zens of Ecuador, whose friendship
and esteem he had won through the
interest he has taken in young men
sent from that country to be edu-
Gated in the United States.

THIEF TAKES VALUELESS
OARS TO HALT CAPTURE

A thief who visited the boat-house
Of Louis Graf, on the Newark Bay,
and stole a gasolene engine worth
500 and pair of oars worth prac-
tically nothing. made sure of his es-
cape in advance.
At first the reason for the taking
OF the oars was not apparent, but it
is deduced by the sleuths on the
trail of the engine. that the thief
came up the bay in a launch, stole
the engine and was about to make
his escape, when he noticed the oars
in the row boat.
To prevent anyone from following
him Immediately he took the oars.
