VICTIM OF CRASH
EXPECTED TO DIE
Man Hurt When Car Hits
Wagon in BeIleviIIe Is
Unconscious.

Caught in the splintered wreckage
of an undertaker's wagon, John Sex
ton, "a years old, of 40S West Third
street, Plainfield, was badly injured
in a collision early today in Wash
ington avenue, Belleville.
The vehicle was struck and all but
demolished by a northbound Broad
car running at such a speed that it
carried fragments of the wreck half
a block before stopping.
Sexton went to Belleville for the
body of Mrs. Catherine Titus, of Tap
pan avenue, who died yesterday. He
was not an undertaken, but merely
an employee of the Central Livery
Company Plainfield, from whom
Henry DeMott, an undertaken, hires
horses when he needs them.
Sexton drove to Belleville in De
Motifs $1,000 ebony finished, glass
fitted wagon, and stopped in front
of Caldwell's undertaking parlors. in
Washington avenue. near Holmes
street, to obtain the necessary trans
fer papers.
The trolley tracks at this point are
near the curb. A Paterson car
whizzed by and so nearly touched
the vehicle that Sexton thought it
would be wise to turn out into the
middle of the street. He did so, and
drove directly in front of a Broad
car. running at full speed.
He was found unconscious in the
wreckage and carried into Caldwelrs
office. where Miss Finvola Murray,
who lives nearby, gave first aid be-
fore the arrival of Dr. Herbert B.
Vail and DIR. Edward o. Cyphers.
Sexton was then removed to st. Mi
chael's Hospital, this city.
He has fractured skull and 1T is
thought he will die. Thomas Cor
don, of North Arlington. and Thomas
Brooks of 131 Mill street, Belleville,
conductor and motorman of the car,
respectively, were arrested by the
Belleville police, but were later pa
rolled by Judge Ashworth until

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-To refute

crate whether to admit it.
Mr.. Dawson thereupon gave out
copies, although earlier in the day he
and Thomas w. Lamont, another

.deduction can be properly made from
these tables. Those who have maoe
such deductions have fallen into sew
e1ai obvious errors.
III is most regrettable and harmful
that either Congress or the country at

WILSON IN HANDS
OF PROBER TODAY
It's a Real One, Though, a Den-
| +, fist, Not a
] Lawyer.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.-Presi-
dent-elect Wilson came here today TO
see a dentist and planned to get away
by noon. He had no political engage
ments for the day.
The Governor read but had no COM
ment to make on the Knox reply to
the British note of protest in refer
ence to the Panama canal.
He also read the dispatches de-
claring that a canvass of members
of the Senate showed sentiment
against holding an inaugural recep-
ton. He reiterated that he would
be perfectly content if no reception
were held.
The Governor said today that it
was a beautiful and stimulating
thought that. if conditions should be
found to warrant 1t. the United
States might send to China one of its
greatest statesmen as minister, q
man who would be both an adviser
and we'll wisher of the new republic,
working with its officials and citizens
TO throw off the shackles of the past
and guide the new government in its
birth of freedom.
Representative William Kent, of
California, a leader of the Progress
sive Republicans in Congress. has
given assurance that he and his
friends will stand back of Governor
Wilson's national policies.
Mr.. Kent was the first Progressive
Republican to talk with the Governor
since his election 10 the Presidency
1t was reported here today that SEN
ator La Toilette is likely to come on
from Washington any day for a con-
ference with the President-elect
Governor Wilson rather expects La
Follette's support on all progressive
legislation. The two have been work
ing along different lines. but to the
same purpose for years and the
Governor would welcome cooperation
from the Wisconsin leader.

suited the fastidious giant. Three
gold rings were stolen from the resi-

In Robert Mitchell's house, at 454
North Cortlandt street, the burglar
selected an overcoat, which he left
on the porch of neighboring house!
He overlooked 95 cents in one of the
pockets. The fifth place he visited
was the home of Mrs. James Nichol-
son, 449 North Cortlandt street
Although window had been forced
open at each of the houses, the police
were amazed to find no Jimmy marks
This led to the deduction that the
robber had forced the latches by
muscular strength that must be pro-
portionate to his feet.

RIOTS IN CONSTANTINOPLE
FOLLOW NAZIM'S MURDER
Bullet Which Killed Head of
Army Accidental, Says
Slayer.

LONDON, JAM 24-The new Turk
ish cabinet has decided to recall the
Ottoman peace delegates from Lon
don, according to a dispatch today
from Constantinople
The Turkish government is said
also to have requested its ambassa-
doris at Vienna and st. Petersburg
to return to the Turkish capital.
Enver Bey, the most spirited leader
Of the Young Turks, was today ap-
pointed chief of the general staff of
the Turkish army.
At the headquarters of all the
peace delegations the greatest ac-
tivity and excitement prevailed to-
day. Cipher kilograms from Sofia,
Belgrade, Athens and Cettinje cross
ed messages from London to those
capitals during the early morning
hours. Before noon the heads of
four delegations had held several
meetings to discusss the situations.
The allies seem disposed to con-
slider the resolution in Constantinople
as an affront to the European powers
more than to themselves. Therefore
they think that the powers are en-
titled to make the first move What
ever it NAV be and whatever its re-
suit, it cannot prejudice their future
action, they declare.
The delegates consider that the re-
sumption of the war in the course
of next week is almost inevitable
even If the powers should agree on
active intervention.
