ated on charge of selling at short

Schiener, who weighed the coal. Mr..
Halcomb testified the two tons Of
coal were 40 pounds under weight.
and his statements were declared
correct by Frank A. Osborne, who
was with him when he weighed the

NEWARK MEN AT
HARBOR CONGRESS
Three Days Session of National
Association Opens in
Washington.
Especial TO the Newark star.l

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Newark is
represented at the tenth annual con-
vention of the national rivers and
harbors congress that began here to-
day by James M. Reilly, A. v. Ham
burg, Charles r. Gillen. Edward NJ.
Waldron, Morris r. Sherrerd, James
o. Beetle and DR.. Charles f..
Kraemer.
The congress, which will be in ses-
sion three days, began with an open
ing address by Secretary Lane to a
thousand or more assembl ID dele
gates. Ambassador Da Cana of
Brazil told the convention of progress
being made by his own country, home
of the Amazon and other mighty
waterways, capable of great develop
ment. Other speakers at the opening
session were John ID. Hazen' munster
of marine and fisheries, of Canada,
who told of the waterways of Canada,
and Rome G. Brown. of Minneapolis,
who spoke on legislative obstacles to
the Improvement of naVigable riv-
ers. Senator Ransdell. of Louisiana,
president of the congress, presented
his annual report.
Secretary Lane was substituted at
the last moment for Secretary Bryan,
who had been originally placed on
the program to represent President
Wilson, but who was prevented at
the last moment from coming. Secre-
tarv Lane read a message of greet
ing from President Wilson congratu-
lating the congress on what 1t already
had accornp ished and expressing the
hope that river and harbor improve
inoent could be conducted on broad
national lines of benefit to the whole
country, Secretary Lane spoke along
sim lar lines.
President Ransdell. in his annual
address, expressed hope that Con-
gress would pass the greatest river
and harbor bill that had ever gone
through but. he added, that unless
local communities showed themselves
willing to make use of rivers after
work was done, he was not READY 10
money for river improve
ment.
Mr.. Hazen said it had not been the
policy of Canada ito administer her
interest in the existing system OF
inland water ways in a narrow or
selfish spirit" He declared that
tire mendously increasing trade ana
is now knocking at the
door of Canada"
There is present stagnation in navi-
CATION improvements, said Mr..
Brown, on account of the impossi-
bilit es of the present federal dam
act, it's uncertainties of tenure, de-
terminate franchise and uncertain
provisions for imposition of further
financial charges" he "supernation-
istic idea," he sad. was thwarting
in its desire to encourage
private investment and recognize the
right of State control under proper
federal regulation of navigation"

.IND|CT INSPECTOR
NEXT IN WIRE CASE
Two Civilian Officials Also to
Be Charged With Accepting
Protection Money.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Men more
conspicuous in the police department
than ex-Captain Dominick Riley. In
dicted on q charge of accepting $1,000
as protection from wiretappers, are
booked for indictment in the investi-
CATION to be resumed today by the
district attorney into the connection
of the police with wireless wiretap-
ners, clairvoyants and other conf
dence men.
From one woman, Mrs. Jane L.
Burnett, Of Chicago. the Gondorf
gang of wiretapeprs, through their
connections with clalryoyants, OBJ
tanned $4,000.
The total proceeds Of the swindlers
of this gang in the past five years Is
said to exceed $1500,000 And from
all these operations the police, ac-
cording to evidence in the hands of
the district attorney, received their
"rake-off.'
Riley, who is now on $1,000 bail. is
looked on as a minor figure in the
police graft. The men the district
attorney expects TO reach include an
inspector of police and two non-uni-
formed members of the department.
Mrs. Burnett, an elderly woman,
who formerly lived in New York and
inherited $500 900 from her husband,
was advised by clairvoyants she could
make a great deal of money in min
ing stock.
Through this advice Mrs. Burnett
became an easy victim of the MEM
bers of the Gondorf gang, to whom
she went on the recommendation Of
her mystic advisers. They induced
her to invest S194O00 in worthless
stock. Afterward they got $4,000
from her and then $4,000 worth OF
tewelry.
AS soon as she read of the investi-
CATION OF the gang Mrs. Burnett told
her story to the district attorney.
She is expected to be an important
y-itness in the case

See VerificatiOn of Wilson
Prophecy in Huerta's Plight

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The flight
Of Huerta's general in Northern
Mexico, Federal evacuation of Chi
hua hua Guaymas and the refusal of
Mexican oil companies to furnish fuel
for movement of Federal troop trains
were pointed out by officials here to-
day as such events to which Presi-
dent Wilson referred In his message
to Congress yesterday when he de-
clared the Huerta regime was crum-
bling by little every da."
automatically there have been no
developments. President Wilson's
statement that this government
would not, in his opinion. be obliged
to alter its policy of "watchful wait
ing was regarded as forecasting a
period of passive observation, with
every eye of the government exercis-
ing at the same time a close scrutiny
on the safeguarding Of foreigners and
their property.
Some dip'omatists we're inclined to
see In President Wilson'S expression
of hopefulness that when Huerta had
been forced from power, constitutional
order would be restored "hy the con-
cert and energy OF such of Mexico's
leaders as prefer the liberty OF their
people to their own ambitions" an
answer to the frequent inquiries in the
foreign press as to whether chaos and
anarchy would result If Huerta re-
tired.
Diplomatic officials here had no ad-
vice to support published reports that
| 9sueen Wilhelmina. speaking for The
Hague tribunal, had addressed peace
proposal to Huerta. State department
officials were confident that the Uni
ted States would be notified before
any such proposal was made.
Although the state and navy de-
partments were without official adj
vices over night. unofficial reports
that seven federal generals In north.
ern Mexico were ready to surrender to
the Constitutionalists were read with
keen interest.

MAYOR HAS PLAN
TO RELEASE EGGS
Through County Tax Board
Jersey City Executive Would
Clear Cold Storage.
Especial to the Newark star.l

JERSEY CITY, Dec. "A plan
conceived by Mayor Mark NJ Fagan.
who is also member of the county
tax board, by which it is expected
that few million eggs now in cold
storage warehouses in this city will
be put on the market, will be put in
operat' on today.
Complaints are to be made to the
tax board that the warehouses ara
not adequately taxed. Then it is ex-
peeted, the board will order hear
ing and direct the warehouse officials
to produce their books to show the
stock that Is on hand and has been
carried. and If the law has been vio-
lated by storing eggs for a longer
period than ten months.
Such action, 1T is predicted, will
show that the warehouses have been
taxed far too low, and that a lively
transference of eggs from Jersey City
cold storage plants will result
