SENATOR'S NOT
GOING TO RUSH
Republicans Will Delay the Tar

lation Follows.

Washington, July 2o-Republican sena.
tors made it clear to-day that they do
not propose to hasten consideration Of
the tariff bill If the President and dem.
ocratic leaders of Congress are going tc
insist upon the enactment Of currency
legislation at this session.
Discussion on this point arose when
Senator GaIlingcr sought Information "a,
to the intent II the democrats. Senator
simmons said he hoped that the republi-
cans were not making threats purposely
to delay passage Of the tariff Republ!-
can senators assured him that they were
making no threats but that it was bound
10 follow that there would be no haste,
with the tariff unless an early adjourn
ment should boz the inducement therefor
Senator Gal1lnger said that reading I'm
the morning papers every day that thg
President would insist on holding Com
gross here to enact currency legislation
would not speed up action on the tariff
Senator Lodge added that it was most
unWlsc to demand action on such impor-
tant legislation as the currency Of
| "tlrod-out Congress"
| Progressive republicans disclaimed am
| intention 10 delay voting on the tariff
unnecessarily despite what else might b.

strued as another step in the ppopagan-

of insufficient evidence.

500 had been taken from his pocket
by the accused. and the latter $2S.15.
Both men. were intoxicated at the

statement that he had taken the
money from them for safe-keeptng.
In Diminishing the complaint Judge

similar occurrences in the future.

TO Be SHUT DOWN
Failure of Receiver to Secure
Funds to Make Improve
ments Causes Action.

Failing to find any capitalist
willing to put UP the money neces-
sary to make repairs ordered by the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers. the New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, running between
Morristown and White House, VIII
have to stop operations. Frederick v:
Pitney, receiver for the road, ap-
peared before the commissioners at
a meeting at the Court House today
and stated that the Court of Chan
cery had refused to permit the issu-
ance of receivers certificates to
finance the repair work.
The e-chancellor, he SAID, ulo
not think the issuing of the certH-
Gates would be fair to the bondhold-
ers. The only other way to raise the
money would have been to seek some
one who would be willing to supply
the money without security. but SO
far this person had not been found.
Mr.. Pitney requested the hoard for
a certified copy of the order to shut
down, that he might forward it to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
as notice of abandonment, as required
by law. Commissioner Winthrop
More Daniels said the copy would
be supplied him or, the board itself
might give the federal notice neces-
sary.
The order to close was given sew
eral months ago, but the efforts to
raise the money have caused the post
ponement of its talking effect. How
ever, today's hearing makes the road
stop running October 6.

HOTEL MEN GET
DELAY IN TRIALS
Cases of Navarro Proprietor to
Be Held Up Until Jail
Is Emptied.

The trials arising out of the raids
made on the Hotel Navarro and the
Little Hungary Rathskeller will not
be started next Monday, as scheduled.
That became evident today when
Wilbur A. Mott, first assistant prose-
cutor, and Frederick r. Lehlbach, for
mer first assistant prosecutor, ap-
peared before Judge Harry V. Os-
borne and asked for a struck jury
panel to be drawn in the case of one
of the six indictments against Cor
nelius ]. Harrington, proprietor of the
now defunct Navarro. There Is al
ready a struck jury pending on
another indictment against him, but
to avoid technicalities 1t was decided
to obtain a new panel
This, of course. would delay the
trial of Harrington of itself. The real
reason for the delay, however, lies In
the fact that the county Jail Is at
present filled with prisoners awaiting
trial. Since each of the raid cases
will require a week, the prosecutor
came to the conclusion that 1t would
be best for the smaller cases to be
taken up first, in order to relieve con-
gestion. A postponement will be
formally moved on Monday.
Harrington will evidently go to trial
first. A struck jury panel has not yet
been asked for in the cases of David
Littman and Samuel Weinfeld, pro-
prietors of Little Hungary.

Little Hope for Peace in
Mexico With Diaz Candidate

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-News
that General Felix Diaz, nephew of
Porfirio Diaz, had been recalled to
Mexico to become the candidate of
the Huerta faction in the coming
presidential election, aroused much
interest here in official circles.
The general feeling was that the re-
turn of Diaz meant compliance with
President Wilson's principal demand,
that General Huerta should not be a
candidate. So far as auguring an era
of peace, however, the outlook was
described as discouraging. While the
American government is on record
with a promise to extend recognition
to the government set up by a legal
and free election, 1t is said to be prac-
tically certain that the United States
would not hasten to recognize Diaz, IL
he were elected, but would wait in ac-
cordance with the presidents of Presi-
dent Hays's administration to deter
mine whether the resulting govern
ment was strong enough to maintain
peace and guarantee international OBJ
legations.
The fact that the constitutionalist
faction regards Diaz as being Jointly
responsible with Huerta for Madero's
downfall, it is thought here, will mean
sharpening of the contest between
the warning factions.

COMBINE MULCTS
/ COAL CONSUMERS
HouseFloIders Pay More for
Fuel Than Hudson County
s School Boards.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. lathe chief
fact OF interest developed in yester-
DAYS session of the Assembly Coal
Combine Investigation Commission
before Chairman Charles NJ. Egan and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Walter L. McDermott
and John Zisgen, was that while the
Board of Education OF Jersey City
and the old Street and Water Board
we're having from $40 to $3.50 a long
ion of 2,240 pounds for egg coal, the
retail consunner was being mulcted
ss.75 for a ton of 1000 pounds.
This fact appeared when Secretary
G. Fred Eye, of the Board of Edu-
cation, and Edward B. See, secretary
of the old Street and Water Board,
testified from the records of coal pur-
Ichases and bids of coal dealers who
for the past few years wanted the
contracts for supplying the 5000 tons
and 400 tons annually used by those
departments. In both cases there
was little evidence OF any genuine
competitive bidding.
other witnesses who testified were
Alexis J. Bennqist, secretary OF the
West Hoboken Board of Education,
and William ]. Tomlin, secretary OF
fhe Bayonne Board of Education. Mr..
Rennoist testified that bids received
for the coal USED Dy utS DOtttu 6dNo
practically the same figures, and that
there was practically no competition
among the dealers in bidding. Mr..
TonIin showed that in 1910 his board
received six bids in which the price
asked for stove coal ranged from
81 to IS. so a ton, while pea coal was
offered from $3.50 to $4.25 a ton
The same prices. in the main, oo-
tanned in the bids received in 1911,
with the exception of stove coal.
which had gone up to 1872. In 1872
stove coal was still s7.22 and pea coal
was $3.50. This year bids were asked
on the basis of summer delivery, and
the prices ranged from $40 to $500
for stove size and $685. to $3.50 for egg
size. Pea coal was offered at from
S. to $3.50 a ton.
These prices were considered SO
high that the bids were thrown out
and new bids are now being adver-
tised for. These figures were for
"short" tons, the bidders refusing to
hid on the long ton basis.
Late In the afternoon, the commits
a,on adjourned to meet next Thurs
day morning, when Expert Harry Il.

timony.

MEXICO CITY. Sept. 19.-The
deaths of the late President Fran
cisco l. Madero and Vice-President
Jose Maria Pine Suarez were not
brought about by a punishable crime,
according to a decision produced by

mandant of the federal district i'm
mediately on the conclusion of the
ten-days' battle in the streets OF
Mexico City last February. which re-
suited in Provisional President HUI

give evidence was Major Francisco
Cardenas. who commanded the es-
cort which conveyed President Ma
dero and Vice-President Pine Suarez
from the national palace to the peni-
Tertiary. Two subordinate officers OF
rural guards and a number of resi-
dents in the vicinity of the jail also
