FOURTH A REAL HOLIDAY
FOR NEWARK FIREMEN

Firemen in this city yesterday en-
joyed the holiday as much as those
who did not have to work, for there
were only five fires, and those were
so small that only the chemical ap-
paratus. was needed to extinguish
them. 1t was the quietest Fourth the
members of the fire department re-
member, and they attribute it to the
strict enforcement of the statutes re-
sricting the sale of fireworks.
The first fire recorded occurred shor
The frs fire recorded occurred
shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday
morning. A pile of rubbish, from
some unknown reason, caught fire in
an alleyway between the houses at
255 and 257 Court street. 1t was ex-
tinguished without any trouble
One of the fires caused by spark
1ers" was in the home of Mrs S.
M. Wahl, 56 Oriental street. The other
"sparkler" fire was at the home of
John Manning, 173 Elm street. and
the combined damage of both did not
amount to $780, A child playing with
caps in the cellar of Harry Harrison,
359 Madison avenue, yesterday after
noon, set fire to quantity of rub
bish but the blaze was extinguished
before it had communicated to any
part of the house. Rubbish in the
woodshed in the rear of the home of
John Nelse, 1886 Broad street, was
set on fire by some unknown cause
yesterday afternoon but only slight
damage was occasioned.

PARK PLACE PROPERTY

A deal for the sale to c. Louis
Fitzgerald, manager of the Packard
Motor Car Company, of 2224 Bran
ford place, this city, of the property
at Park place and East Park street,
in which the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club is situated, has been
consummated. The price is under
stood to be $4,000.

tate of Lesser Lehman and was

r. Martin, and, previous to that, to
the Richardson family. The Leh-
man estate leased the property to the
automobile club.

the property for an investment,
based on the fact that the property
has apparently increased in value
more than 100 per cent. within the
past few years and the improvements
contemplated in the immediate vicin-
ity-the Public Service terminal and
the new hotel, coupled with the near
ness of the property to the Park place

House Directs Speaker to APP
point and Defines Their
Powers.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-A "lobby"
investigation by the House to cover
particularly Martin MulhalPs charges
that the National Association of
Manufacturers influenced present
and former congressman, but broad
enough to cover all alleged lobby ac-
tivities before Congress, was provided
today by a resolution from the House
rule committee. 1t would direct a
committee of seven members APP
pointed by the speaker to inquire
whether the National Association of
Manufacturers or any other organiza-
tion or corporation or association or
person, "does now maintain or has
heretofore maintained a lobby for the
purpose of influencing legislation by
Congress and ascertain and report to
what extent and in what manner, if
at all, legislation has been improperly
affected or prevented by reason of the
existence of said lobby. if it be found
to exist at all, now or heretofore"
Senators Reed and Walsh, after an
examination of the mass of Mulhall
letters, kilograms and expense ac-
counts, subpoenaed by the Senate
lobby committee, have determined to
introduce all of the papers as testi-
mony before the committee next week
Every opportunity will be given the
House to examine the letters. Under
a blanket clause in the resolution
the House Committee would have al
most plenary authority to probe all
lobbying authority.
Chairman Henry of the Rules Com
mittee presented the resolution to the
House. An agreement was reached
to allow an hour of general debate
and opportunity for amendment.

New State Laws
Now in Effect

Not one violation of the many laws
that went into effect on the 4th was
reported today.
No one, for instance, flouted the
criminal law by stealing ice from the
frozen surface of any body of water
in New Jersey.
No one was charged with a misde-
meanor because of the manufacture,
sale, gift, loan or possession of an
air-rifie.
No peace officer" or attaches of
the motor vehicle commissioner de-
partment exercised their new right of
making arrests of motor offenders.
One of the most important enact
ments that became effective was the
so-called trust act" one of the
Seven Sisters, which sets forth that
a trust is "a combination or agree
ment between corporations, firm or
persons, any two or more of them, ;"
for purposes enumerated in the act.
Other acts are those creating a State
forester and increasing the pay of
election officers in places having less
than 5000 populati tion, the Newark
dock acts, regulating insurance rates,
authorizing the revocation of the
license of architects, giving the labor
commissioner supervision over fac
tory elevators, compelling public
school authorities to provide for the
instruction of children in means to
prevent accidents. permitting appeals
in receiverships, extending powers of
the State road commissioner, the
widows pension act, permitting first
class counties to provide for indigents
in hospitals abandoning the stated
terms of the Court of Chancery, and
providing for the licensing of engi-
neers and fremen of stationary
boilers.

SAYS MEXICAN FEDERAL
VICTORY is DUE TO AUTOS

MEXICO CITY, July 5.-To his
automobile train, bearing troops and
machine guns, General Rubio Navar-
rete, in a report to the war depart
ment. attributes a federal victory in
the Candida mountains east of Mon
clova, the field headquarters of the
rebels in the State of Coahuila
The rebels numbered 1000, with po-
sitions in the hills. The Federals, to
the same number, supplemented their
frontal attack by a flank movement.
General Navarrete's report says that
the rebels were forced to retire, leav-
ing eighty dead behind Twelve Fed
erals were killed.

NOT AN ACCIDENT
TO MAR OUR SAFE
AND SANE FOURTH
Hospital Records Here Fail to
Disclose Any Victims of
Celebration.
SODA CRACKERS AND PINK
LEMONADE "SUB" FOR FIRE
Noise, Too, Has Lost Its Nerve
Racking Spirit of Festive
Robustiousness.
NEWARK FOURTHS'
TAPERlNG MISHAPS

So safe and sane was the Fourth
that no record could be found on the
books of the City Hospital and the
other Newark hospitals today to in
dicate that a single little boy had
been patriotic enough to sacrifice
several fingers or a thumb or some
other portion of his anatomy in
emulation of the spirit of seventy
six.
This was certain indication that
the annon-crackers, dynamite bombs,
cap pistols, Roman candles and other
fireworks prone to burst at the wrong
moment were not in evidence yes
terday. Hardly the faintest trace
existed of those delightful pleasures
enjoyed in that magic time when
pa was boy"
Noise was non-existent, or almost
so. Even in the Oranges and other
suburbs where the laws in regard to
firecracl1ers was not so strictly en-
forced as in Newark, the day was
entirely safe and sane and not even
a pallid imitation of those good old
Fourths when every house was an
arsenal in the morning and a hospi
tai in the afternoon.
How Compromise Was Made.
Just how the young Americans were
kept from "enthusing" too much over
the glorious celebration of their
country's birth is something that only
the mothers can explain.
Possibly a compromise was arrived
at on the basis that soda crackers
should take the place of firecrackers,
pink lemonade that of redfire and
popcorn that of popping cap pistols.
Whatever the deal was, General Teta-
nus, the terror of the old Fourths,
was left out in the cold.
The hospitals, by the way, were
skeptical enough about the promised
perfect loveliness of the Fourth to set
in beforehand a store of tetanus
enough to inoculate all the children
who were hurt.
Both the police and firemen had a
day of rest and the ambulance driv-
ers found the quietness wearisome.
Nevertheless, it was the Glorious
Fourth for all that-glorious because
no fond papas and mamas had any
regrets to voice today.

QUIZ SERVANTS IN
$4,000 GEM THEFT
Long Branch and Burns Detec.
tives Completely BaffIed.
Auto May Prove Clue.
IFrom a stan Correspondent

LONG BRANCH, N. j.. July 5.--No
trace has been found of the intruder
who made a clean getaway with up
wards of $4,000 worth of jewels from
the summer home of Harry L. Haas
here Wednesday night, despite the
efforts of more than score of de-
tectives and the regular police Off
GERS
Both the police and the detectives
admit they are completely baffled. The
manner in which the intruder has
succeeded in covering up his tracks
leads the police to believe that the
robbery was the work of a profess
sional crook
1t is evident, they say, that the in
truder was perfectly familiar with
the apartments of the family and
closely in touch with leir habits.
1t seems almost Impossible, the po-
lice say, that the thief was not as
sisted by a person inside the house.
The detectives who have swarmed
in on the case lured by the $4,000 re-
ward offered by Mr.. Haas are in
clined to think that one of the serv-
ants is implicated in the deal.
Everyone of the domestics, however,
have been put through a severe grill
ing by the policeeofficers and the de-
tectives themselves and not one fall
tered or varied in his story.
Detectives from the Burns agency
arrived on the scene today and went
over every detail of the robbery with
the servants, as they knew it. Neigh
bors to the Haas family have been
questioned with an idea of determin-
ing If any strange men were seen in
the neighborhood at . o'clock Wednes-
day night, but no information was
gained from this source.
Morris Klemm, a caretaker for one
of the neighbors in the vicinity. re-
ported to the police today that he
saw a motor car within two blocks
of the Haas residence shortly before
o'clock Wednesday night. He said
the engine was humming, but the
lamps were not lighted, and his at
tention was attracted. He was unable
to give the number of the car.
The police think that the robber had
a motor car in waiting and raced to
New York Immediately on getting
out of the Haas home.

M|L|TANTS AGAIN
SET CHURCH AF!RE
Also Try to Blow Up Town
Hall-Warrant for Mrs.
Pankhurst.

LONDON. July 5.-A Methodist
chapel in the Welsh seacoast town of
Pwllheli, the construction of which
recently cost $4,000, was destroyed
by fire today and an attempt was
made also to burn down the Baptist
tabernacle in the same town.
This is the fourth case of sacrilege
in Northern Wales in a week. The
militant suffragists are suspected by
the authorities.
Another supposed attempt by mill
tants to commit an outrage occurred
at Bolton, Lancashire, this morning.
The caretaker of the new town hall,
which cost $3.50, 900, discovered an at
tempt TO explode another bomb. A
fuse which was attached had been
lighted, but had gone out.
Miss Annie Kenney and Miss
Rachel Barrett, the first of whom
was sentenced to six months inn
prisonment and the second nine
months Imprisonment for committing
malicious damage to property, were
released from Jail again today, suffer-
ing from the effects of hunger and
thirst strike Miss Kenney is re-
ported to be very ILL., Many of the
imprisoned suffragists refrain from
both food and water, and their con-
dition is weak.
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst failed to ap-
pear at Bow Street Court today to
answer a summons charging her
with melting a crowd to raid the
official residence in Downing street
of Premier Asquith and Chancellor
of the Exchequer Lloyd-George on
June 90, when a violent conflict be-
tween the police and militants and
their sympathizers took place. A
warrant was issued for her arrest.
