IMP PARCHMENT WAR

Assembly investigators Not to
Meet Until Monday-Gar-
rison Issues Def.

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-Not until
Monday is there likely to be develop
ments of import in the Assembly in
vestigation of the impeachment brib-
cry charges which the Investigators
are endeaVoring to lay at the door Of
William Sulzer.
The judiciary committee of the AS
sembly, designated to probe the allie
cations, will not hear testimony until
Monday, as yesterday it adjourned
without taking evidence.
Next week may present the specta-
clenof Sulzer on the rack before two
investigating committees named by
his foes. Besides the judiciary COM
mittee the Frawley investigating COM
mittee Is cheduled to resume its ses-
sions here The Frawley committee
may not begin until Wednesday, and
the judiciary committee will hardly
have completed it's session by that
time.
There is probably little in the past
of Sulzer that will not be dragged
into the light by the two corps of in
vestigators If Tammany thinks 1t
will gain anything thereby in its wal
to dethrone Sulzer. Both committee
have we'll laid plans for developing
more trouble for the impeached gov
ernor
James c. Garrison. of the Sulzer
cabinet, issued another def to the in
vestigators yesterday. In 10 letter to
Assemblyman Levy he said that II
he had evidence against burglars he
would not take it 10th cir den.

ONE ARREST is MADE
IN SPLITDORF STRIKE

There are no new developments
in regard to the striking machinists
as far as we are concerned, aside
from the fact that we are rapidly
filing the places of the men on
strike" was the statement given out
today by Carlos Curtiss, general
manager of the Splitdorf Electrical
Company, of 9S Warren street, where
about $50 men and girls went on
strike for recognition of their union
and flfty-hour week with fiftyfour
hours pay.
Although two of the strikers were
arrested for interfering with strike
breakers on their way to work at the
factory. no real trouble has been re-
ported so far. The labor leaders have
cautioned their men against violence.
According to Samuel II. Young, gen.
eral organizer of the union, the
strikers are gradually gaining new
recruits. Mr.. Young stated that q
committee of strikers will seek a con-
ference with the heads of the Split
dorf concern and seek arbitration and
in that way try to adjust matters.
Whether or not the Splitdorf concern
will listen to the men is a question.
They have already announced that
under no consideration would they
grant conference or re-employ the
men on strike.

WILSON ADMINISTRATION
. BRANDED INCOMPETENT

Admitting that discomfort and dis
sention exists in the Republican party
at the present time, but declaring that
at Washington is an incompetent ad-
ministration and President with
hidden policy" Benjamin Moore, of
Montclair. addressed an enthusiastic
meeting of the Republican County
Committee last night Mr.. Moore not
only bitterly denounced President
Wilson, but also took up the issues
that are being advanced by the Pro-
gressive Gubernatorial candidates.
Nobody is sure of what's going to
happen in the Mexican question" he
said. THE tariff and financial ques-
lions also loom UP in an environment
of conjecture" He then proceeded to
take up the Progressive matters
"There are some ProgressiVes we
don't want back I'M the party with
their ridiculous ideas and Progressive
wildness. The party that was only
formed a year ago is already broken
up.
Mr.. Moore then referred to Mr..
Colby's platform. why, l could
stand on that platform" he said. ut
seems as If Mr.. Colby wants 10 DE a
perpetual candidate. He was romi-
mated for Senator and was Defeated.
Il might say that Mr.. Osborne is
a real Progressive. That Is, he keeps
going but as far as his platform is
concerned it would make the average
man smile.
I'm the first place he wants to do
away with patent rights. Suppose
you labored for ten years over some
device. kept awake nights thinking
over il, then to have it thrown to the
winds.
Aldermanic possibilities in this city
and the candidates for the freeholder
nomination occupied the attention of
the executive committee yesterday
afternoon. There are candidates for
al the vacancies and more besides.

READVERTISE FOR BIDS
ON SEWER CONSTRUCTION

Bids for the construction of section
lone" of the Passaic Valley trunk
sewer system are being readvertised
and will be opened again on Novem-
Der 10. The bids were originally
opened on Tuesday, July l, but be-
cause of a chancery order the con-
tracts could not be awarded the fol-
lowing week and the matter was held
up six weeks.
Recently the Degnon CONTRACTING
Company. of New York, the lowest
bidders for section one withdrew their
bid, which necessitated the readver-
Using for additional bids. Had the
contract been awarded on July 8, as
originally intended, the work on the
section would have been well under
way before snow falls. Under the
present conditions the work cannot be
started before spring. Section one
is the outfall in New York bay at
Robbins Reef, forty feet below mean
low water.

ENGLISH PRESS HITS AT
BRYAN'S CRAFTSMANSHIP

LONDON, Aug. 23.--The Standard.
criticising the American policy in
Mexico, declares it is interested in
knowing whether Secretary of State
Bryan proposes to continue his Chau-
tauqua lecture tour. 1t says:
zone might imagine that "A virtual
foreign minister would find enough to
occupy him in discharging, or even in
learning the duties of his important
office, but foreign affairs do not seem
to be taken quite seriously by the
present administration. One cannot
be surprised at a certain amateurish-
ness in American diplomacy when one
remember that 1t is under the SUI
pervision of statesman whose best
energies have been reserved for the
platform and the press, and that a
United States amba ssador must be a
professor publisher, essayist or APP
parently, anything but an expert in
the difficult and complicated science
of international relationships"

TROOPS POUR INTO
ERIE TO STOP RIOT
Fatal Fight Between Strikers
and Detectives Puts City
in Terror.

ERIE, Pa, Aug. 23.-Clattering
down State street soon after dawn to-
cay, two troops of the Pennsylv9nia
oonstabulary, Under Captain L. G
Adams, proved a welcome sight to the
people of Erie who had witnessed a
wild night of rioting, in which one
man was almost killed, and the city
seemed filled with fighting private de-
tectives on one side and striking iron
molders and their sympathizers on
the other.
Captain Adams stationed his men in
the manufa curing and business dis
tricts to such advantage that the
streets were carefully patrolled and
strict watch was kept for further
trouble.
The rioting began about midnight,
when striking moulders and their
friends became involved in street
fights with strikebreakers who were
guarded by private detectives. The
first battle occurred at the boarding
house of Edward Stafer, one of the
detectives He had been active on
other occasions, it was said, and when
his place of abode was discovered a
mob stormed the house and almost
beat him to death before he was res
cued by the police and taken to q
hosT ital, where he was thought to be
dying.
This spark fired the situation, ano
from that hour until daybreak tho
lighting continued in many localities
The small police force was hurried
to one battle-ground only to be re-
called to another, where the prospect
for damage to life and PROPERTY
seemed even greater. Twenty-Five oil
more arrests were made and the meT
were worn out
The authorities finally decided Il
appeal to Governor Tener at Har.

barracks at once They were hur.
ried here by special train.

MAY. URGE CHANGES
TO CURRENCY BILL.
Bankers, in Session, Would
Eliminate Politics in Fed
eral Reserve Banks.

CHICAGO Aug. 23.-When the COM
mittee on resolutions of the meeting
of bankers to discuss a currency bill
resumed its work today there was
little prospect that it would be able
to report its findings until afternoon.
1t was said that the committee had
agreed to suggest certain amend
ments to the Glass-Owen bill. as fol-
lows:
l. Eliminating the comptroller OF
the currency and the secretary of ag-
riculture from the Federal reserve
board and fixing the personnel of the
board at seven members, composed
of the secretary of the treasury. three
members appointed by the President
OF the United States and three menu
bers chosen by the banks.
2. Removing the management OF
ieedral reserve banks from politics by
limiting the powers of the federal
agent or board and clothing the banls-
ers advisory board with veto power,
}. Making membership of national
banks in the federal reserve banks
voluntary, instead of compulsory
4. Limiting the number of central
federal reserve banks to five, instead
of twelve, as provided in the bill.
1t Is regarded as probable that the
meeting would result in the selection
of a committee to go to Washington
in the interests of the amendments
which the bankers expect to agree up
on before adjournment.
George M. Reynolds, of Chicago, a
member of the resolutions commit
tee, said in talking with a number
of bankers and newspaper men be-
fore his committee convened that the
issue of treasury notes was compared
by the Glass-Owen bill and sane
toned by Secretary of State Bryan
in a letter yesterday was regarded
as near approach to fiat money.
II suggested to Mr.. Bryan when |
/ was in Washington that in case of
war with Mexico he might test the
scheme by paying the soldiers with
these notes." said Mr.. Reynolds
4 Country bankers addressed tho
meeting in opposition to the authori-
zation of Federal reserve banks to
act as clearing houses as they said
1t would deprive theb anks of large
sums in exchange charges for the
cashing of checks, and woul facili-
tate 'kiting."

MitcheI's Chances.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23-Mayor Gay
nor's determination to run for re-
election as an independent guaran-
tees one of the liveliest municipal
campaigns New York has seen in
several years. There will be three
tickets in the ied-Democratic,
fusiap and Gaynor.
The Democratic designating COM
miteee meets this afternoon to name
as its mayoralty candidate Edward
r. Mccall. recently a Supreme Court
justice, and now president of the
Public Service Commission.
The fusonists, who include Repub-
licans, ProgressiVes, Independence
Ieaguers ana some independent
Democrats, have selected John Pur-
roy Mitchell. Mayor Gaynor will run
as the candidate of the Gaynor
League, with a full ticket behind
him. The mayor will make his APP
peal to anti-Tammany sentiment in
all parties, but his chief hackers now
are anti-Tammany Democrats.
Neither the Tammany men nor the
fusionists would admit today that the
nomination of Gaynor would weaken
their strength. The organization
Democrats maintained that he would
not touch the Tammany vote, but
would take from the fusion ticket
many Independent Democrats who
would not vote for Gaynor as a Tam
many candidate but would support
him as an Independent.
Republican and fusion leaders said
they expected Mayor Gaynor would
draw from the regular Democratic
ticket many voters who sided with
Governor Sulzer in his fight against
Tammany Hall.
District Attorney Whitman, it was
expected, would be Endorsed by the
Democratic committee today as a can
didate for reelection, despite the fact
that he is already the fusion candi-
