NEW YORK, July 23-The truce

ties continued today, but the employ
ees showed that they We're growing
restiVe.
The delay in settling terms of arbi-

$4,000 a day, for they are obliged to
pay the expenses of more than 1000
members of committees representing
the various locals who have not gone
back to their locomotives since the
declaration of the strike vote.
The men said today that they were
not satisfied with the concessions
made yesterday by the railroad mana
gers These concessions, it was un-
derstood were the dropping of three
of the eight grievances the railroads
have asked to have arbtrated in con-
nection with the demands of the men.
The principal efforts of the media

ton. AS yet the federal commission

DYNAMITE HIDDEN
IN COAL At PLANT
Thrilling Discovery Is Made in
Car at CrucibIe Steel
Company's Factory.

The timely discovery of three sticks
of dynamite in a coal car at the plant
of the crucible Steel Company, Har-
rison, shortly before noon today pre-
vented. possibly, a serious accident at
the works. How the deadly stuff got
into the car is mystifying to the Of
ficials of the works. 1t is possible
that the dynamite was left in the
coal by miners.
The car arrived at the plant today
and workmen were about to unload
it. One of the men was about to
bring down his shovel when he saw
the sticks. He realized what it was
and jumped from the car. A scream
he emitted served as warming to
the others.
Officials of the plant cautiously in
vestigated. They found the dynamite
and also came across a small battery,
coil of copper wire and a small lamp
such as might be used in a mine.
News of the discovery was circulated
throughout the plant and the en-
ployees were in an uncomfortable
state of mind for a short time. The
dynamite was soaked with water and
taken from the car. The workmen
were circumspect as they unloaded
the coaa.

WILL PAY $50 FOR
POLLING PLACES
FreehoIders' Finance Commit
tee Settles Question-To
Letter County Autos.

The finance committee of the Board
of Freeholders, following a consulta-
ton with City Clerk James +. Con-
nelly and his deputy, Martin G. Bross.
and a long argument among the COM
mittee members today fixed the rem
tai to be paid for polling places In
the city and county for the Fall
primaries and election at SO per day.
Freeholder Richard F. Malta, who
stated that he had in past years rent
ed his place of business as a polling
place, contended that $50 was not
sufficient rental for places in the city
and wanted the figure placed at $35
in the city and $25 in the county.
Director Walter A. Evans contended
that with the possible exception of
the downtown section of Newark, 1t
was just as hard to obtain polling
places in the county districts as in
Newark proper and thought the price
should be uniform. He was supported
in this by the other members Of the
committee.
City Clerk Connolly had little to
say except to inform the members
of the committee that the matter of
obtaining places to be used as vot-
ing places was getting to be harder
proposition each year, but he be-
lieved that $50 was an ample price
to pay.
Miss Helen Kane, clerk in the sur
rogate's office. was granted an in
crease from $50 to $50 per month, 1t
being pointed out BY Deputy Surro-
gate Charles F, Kocher that Miss
Kane was experienced in the work
required of her, and, therefore,
worth more than the money usually
paid to new beginners in the office.
The committee had another long
argument over the lettering of the
three automobiles now owned by the
county. 1t was finally decided to
have the big car used by the Board
of Freeholders lettered Essex
County Board of Freeholders, while
the purchasing department car will
be labeled Purchasing Department,

Warden B. f. Bailey, of the Over

County Counsel Benjamin F. Jones
was ordered to prepare specifications
for an issue of $150,000 Plank Road
bonds, the bonds to run forty years

care of the issue and the county
counsel was ordered to prepare the
bids in such way that the bonds
can be sold In small lots in the open

ACT FAVORABLY ON
NEARLY ALL GRANTS
Board of Works Passes Trolley
Franchises on First and
Second Readings.

With two exceptions the ordinances
granting franchises to the Public
Service Railway Company in con-
nection with the proposed terminal
were passed on first and second read
ing by the Board of Works this after
noon at an adjourned public hearing
on ten of the twenty seven franchises.
They will be given a third reading on
August Z.
The principal amendment was on
the Hawthorne avenue line, which
would go up Hawthorne avenue to
Clinton place. Property owners want
ed it continued out to Fabyan place,
but the conference of engineers,
through City Engineer Morris r.
Sherrerd, recommended that the plan
of running to Fabyan place was not
feasible. 1t was suggested that the
line run only as far as Walcott ter
race, a new street, about 200 feet
east of Clinton place. Mr.. Sherrerd
said the Public Service has agreed
to continue the line out on Wolcott
terrace to Lyons avenue, to take care
of the Weequahic section.
On the Fourth avenue grant, the
Public Service wanted to connect the
Ogden street and Belleville avenue
lines through Fourth avenue, to pass
directly in front of the new Normal
School. The principal of the school
has already gone on record as oppos-
ing trolley line on Fourth avenue,
because of the noise, and the engi-
neers recommended that another
street be chosen.
They also recommended the elimfna-
ton of the curve in front of the
Monsignor Doane monument on the
P. S. C. plan to extend the Central
avenue line through Park place,
through Centre street to the Penn
sylvania railroad station in Market
street, by bringing the tracks through
Rector street. Commissioner Gillen
wanted 1t understood that as soon as
the new diagonal street from Central
avenue to the Market street station
is put through. the Public Service
would move their tracks to the new
street, doing away with the tracks
on Centre street. This, however. did
not go through. despite Commissioner
Gillen's adverse vote.
The Warren and High street ex-
tension and the Fourth avenue extern
sion were passed up temporarily,

CUMM|NS DENIES
MULHALL' CHARGE:
Senator and Informer Have
Verbal Exchange Before
Probers.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Cummlns, author of the resolution
under which the Senate committee
| is investigating the lobby, today
| added his denial to statements of
| Martin M. Mulhall, one-time lobby
ist for the National Association of
Manufacturers. In letter to John
Kirby, president of the association,
Mulhall told of meeting Senator
Cummins in May 1910, and going to
the rooms of the late Senator Dolli-
yer, where they talked about a
speech to be made in the House by
Representative Kendall of Iowa.
Senator Cummins denied that state
ment categorically.
II have no recollection of seeing
Mulhall or speaking to him on any
subject, but I am not prepared to
say that / have not" said Senator
Cummins.
But | am certain that | did not
have any conversation with him
about the speech Kendall was to
make on the eight-ho bill: / am
certain / never went into Delivers
room with him and / am certain that
never had any conversation with
him there"
Mulhall leaned forward in the wit
ness chair and shouted: I'm getting
tired of these denials."
81 don't care whether you're get
ting tired or not 1t makes no differ
ence to me; If you don't tell the
truth. I'm going to deny It," replied
Senator Cummins
Martin M. Mulhall's correspondence
first put in the record of the Senate
lobby committee today concerned his
efforts to beat Representative Her.
bert Parsons, of New York, for re-
election in 1910, told of reading the
riot act" to Representative Ralph
D. Cole, of Ohio. because of his op-
position to former Speaker Cannon,
and gave further details of Mulhall's
offer to aid the candidacy of George
Gordon Battle for governor of New
York
On February 3, 1910, Mulhall wrote
John Kirby, jr., about President
Tafts knowledge of the many good
things our association has done for
the Republican party and the assur-
ance that the President would not
press any labor bills at this session
OF Congress" He wrote Kirby
again on the same subject about
senators to be elected: Dick, of
Ohio, has sought our aid; Scott, Of
West Virginia; Depew, of New York,
and Carter, Of Montana. OF course
we have had Aldrich on our list for
the last nine months"
In May. 1910, Mulhalrs letters told
of his going to New Jersey
to help reflect Congressman
John J. Gardner, once opposed by
the manufacturers. Mulhall swore
Gardner had Surrendered complete
ly' and that In consequence he had
gone to his district to help him. Null
hall visited manufacturers and was
particularly anxious to help with
1000 employees of the Roebling iron
works at Trenton.

WILSON'S TARIFF
ACTIVITY SCORED
Senator Works Sees Menace to
Nation in Presidents Lead
ership Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Works, attacking the tariff bill to-
day, charged that President Wilson
exceeded his constitutional authority
by aiding in framing the bill and
using his powerful influence to have
it passed in the form approved by him
and known to have his approval.
The senator also assailed the Demo-
cratic caucus, which, he declared,
forced a senator to 'forego his own
conscientious convictions and judg-
ment and vote with his party or come
into disfavor and be branded as an
apostate and betrayer of his partyS
"The President said Senator
Works. commits himself beyond re-
cali to bill not yet introduced and
without having heard the presentation
of their views by the legislative repre-
sentatives of the States where vital
interests and important industries are
to be affected by 1t. Thus we have a
bill agreed upon and marked for final
passage, upon consideration only by a
few men of the party, concurred in by
the President acting with representa-
tives of this one party.
"This comes in part from the vi
cious doctrine" he continued, that
the President is the leader of his
party instead of. or as well as, the
President of the whole people. The
two are utterly inconsistent when
it comes to the making of laws"
Senator Works did not doubt that
the President acted from the purest
motives, but feared that "this great
power to mold legislation might
fall into unworthy or treasonable
hands, and that revolution may fol-
low and this beneficent government
of ours be disrupted.
1.-THE time may come" he said,
when this great power in the exec
utive government to rule and control
Congress, a power not given by law
and wholly illegitimate, but estab-
lished by the silent and unauthor-
lied acquiescence of the people and
their lawful representatives. may

German Army
InvadeS Britain

LONDON, July 24.-Germans, rep
resented by the red fleet" in the
annual maneuvers of the British navy
now in progress in British waters,
raided the east coast of Great
Britain this morning and landed
troops in the neighborhood of the
Humber.
After the warships escorting the
convoy had engaged and defeated the
defending fleet. four Transports laden
with soldiers ran the blockade which
had been established and upset the
cherished belief of the British ad-
miralty. that the British Isles were
invulnerable.
More mystery than ever surround
ed the plans of this years maneu-
vers. 1t was known that one force
was to try and make a landing on
the East Coast, such as Germany
would be expected TO attempt should
war occur between the two countries,
and that another force, with the as
sistance of the volunteer army, was
to prevent it If possible. but all the
details were hidden from the public.
Invitations to the press were re-
stricted and naval attaches were
barred.

TO REVISE SYSTEM
OF THE NEW HAVEN
Financial and Operating Policy
Changes Planned-May
Abandon Trolley Lines.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Not only a
new head of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad system
to succeed President Mellen, but
radical changes in the financial and
operating policy with a revolution
in the machinery of executive man
agement, will be recommended by
the subcommittee of directors, which
will report to the full board tomor-
row. This was indicated today by a
leading member of the committee
who said that whoever was selected
to succeed Mr.. Mellen would prob
ably have a different title than presi-
dent-that of chairman of the board,
who would be supreme over the en-
tire system including the Boston and
Maine and the steamship and trolley
lines.
This director intimated that the
title of president of the New Haven
railroad proper would be conferred
upon another man who is also to be
recommended at tomorrow's meeting.
This official would be a subordinate
of the chairman.
To the new head of the system,
who, according to general expecta-
tion in Wall street, will be Howard
Elliott president of the Northern
Pacific will be given the task of work
ing out the proposed changes in
policy. What these would be were
not specified. but it was intimated
that they might include the divorce
from the New Haven of its control
of trolley lines. This would meet one
of the criticisms of the interstate
commerce commission,

SING SING CONV|CTS
IN ANOTHER RIOT
At FIRE IN PRISON
Suspected of Having Started
Second Blaze Within
Two Days.

OSsINING, N. Y, July "a
Another fire in Sing Sing prison
today gave the mutinous con-
victs a chance for more riotous
demonstrations. The blaze started in
the clothing shop and the prison fire
brigade extinguished 1t after a hard
fight, without outside aid.
1t was the second fire in the prison
buildings this week, Notwithstanding
the fact that the guards had been
doubled since S150000 worth of prop
erty was burned there two days ago.
Although It is generally believed that
the fires were started by convicts the
warden has been unable to place the
blame.
When the fire broke out today in
the clothing shop the whistles were
blown and every precaution was
taken to guard against the escape of
convicts While the guards and the
TRUSTEES" were attacking the flames
more than a thousand prisoners
locked in their cells raised a chorus
of yells that sounded high above the
noise of the alarm. The men at work
III the building were marched out In
good order and the blaze was ex-
tinguished.
Warden Clancy attributes the re-
cent disturbances among the con-
victs to an order for the transfer of
some of them to the State prison at
Auburn. Most of the prisoners at
Sing Sing come from New York city
and object to being sent upstate.
f,.ta
cult to visit them.
1t was this element that led the
mutiny yesterday, which at first
promised to develop into an organized
attempt at prison delivery
On account of the disturbances the
warden decided today to rid the
prison of the most disorderly ele-
nent. Two hundred of the worst Of
| tenders, all second term men, wera
kept in their cells today and tomor
row sixty of them will be sent under
heavy guard to Auburn. The rest
will be transferred a day or two later.
The two hundred incorrlgibles be-
long to what is known as the knit
ting gang"
One hundred men employed in the
shoe shop struck this afternoon and
told the warden that they would not
work any longer unless the members
of the Emitting gang were released
from their cells. The warden
promptly marched the strikers to
their cells and locked them up. The
shoe workers hooted and called to
other convicts to join them, but the
warden's threat to lock up any one
who showed signs of disorder was
effective in keeping the other con-
victs at work.
Warden Clancy attributed all the
recent trouble to politics. II Attor-
ney- General Carmody, he said. had
not delayed Strengthening out the
tangle. relative to the appointment of
prison superintendent the second
term men would have gone to
Auburn quietly and would not have
had a long period to brood over their
fancied wrongs.
