MAYOR WILL STOP
AUTO-PACED RACE
Gives Orders to Acting Chief to
Make Arrests if Event
Is Held.

Strict orders to prevent the staging
of the scheduled automobile paced
bicycle race at the Motordrome track
on Saturday night were today issued
to Acting Chief of Police Michael
Ryan by Mayor Jacob Haussling.
In case any attempt is made to
stage the affair the chief is instruct
ed to place under arrest all per-
sons in any way connected with the
exhibition.
The mayors stand in the matter is
made quite clear in a letter to the
acting chief. While admitting that
the contest might not be, strictly
speaking, a violation of the ordi-
nance against motorcycle racing, he
contends that the exhibition can be
prevented under Sections 434, 425 and
1876 of the revised city ordinances,
which require permits to be obtained
for certain classes of shows and ex-
hibitions.
Motorcycle and motor paced races
were held at the track during the alb
sence of the mayor from the city
for the purpose of testing the city
ordinance in the courts. The case,
1t is understood, will be decided with
in the next week.
The mayors letter to Chief Ryan
is as follows:
81 understand that public an
nouncement has been given of an in
tention to hold bicycle races paced
with automobiles at the Motordrome
next Saturday night. I am satisfied
that such contests, if carried out,
would be extremely dangerous to the
life and limb of performers and, per-
haps. spectators, possibly as danger
Gus as pr more dangerous than the
use of motorcycles as pacemakers.
Though such contests might not be,
strictly speaking. a violation of our
ordinance against motorcycle racing
and speed exhibitions, 1t Is clear to
me that they can be prevented under
sections 434 435 and 436 of the re-
vised ordinances, which require
permit to be obtained for certain
classes of shows, exhibitions. etc.
LAS the Motordrome management
has not obtained any such permit, /
hereby direct you, In case an attempt
is made to use automobiles for pac-
ing bicycle races. to prevent such
contests and to cause the arrest of
the person or persons responsible
therefor"

Own Grievances.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE general
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and the Order of Railway Conductors
went into session here today to con-
slider last nights communication from
the Eastern railroad managers an
nouncing that the roads would insist
on presenting their own grievance be-
fore the arbitration board, which is
to settle the wage dispute.
The publication of the railroads
letter bore out the inferences of sew
eral days past that they intended
fighting back fact first indicated by
the inclusion of the words "all ques-
tions' in their statement agreeing to
arbitration.
Whether the unions are to sanction
this latest move of the roads may be

is operative
VIII Not Reply Until Tonight.
The conference adjourned shortly
before II o'clock, but Messrs. Lee
and Garretson, for the trainmen and
conductors, respectively, said that
they would make no reply to the
railroads until tonight. On behalf
of the road the following statement
was issued:
I'VE are amazed at the attitude
taken by the leaders of the train
men and conductors as regards our
desire to arbitrate our grievances.
They seem to think that they are the
only side that has right to ask for
arbitration. We think differently,
however, and we are convinced that
the public will support US in our
attitude. We shall insist that our
grievances be arbitrated as we'll as
theirs, and we stand pat on our let

Forty-thrce Roads Demands.
Late last night the managers of
forty-three Eastern railroad systems
affected In the present situation
formally presented the demands which
they will make in case of arbitration.
Included in the demands is the
question of how much the roads are
willing to pay extra men employed
under the provisions of the full-crew
bill. The railroads demand:
One-When minimum days wage
is paid in any class of service, 1t shall
entitle the railroad to the full mile
age or hours of service paid for.
Two-In no case shall double COM

Three-For fixing the basis, |. e.,

POLICE PROBE DROWNING
OF BOY IN NORRIS CANAL

Stories of boy witnesses of the
drowning of Joseph Wyschensky, s
years old, of l Prospect row, in the
canal yesterday afternoon have
caused the police to make an inves-
tigation. Detective John L. Miller
found one boy who declared he had
seen another lad push Wyschensky
into the water.
It is believed. however that both
boys were in swimming and were
indulging in a game of tag when
the victim fell in. Patrick ellison,
of 129 McWhorter street, attempted
to rescue the drowning boy, but he
had gone down for the third time
when ellison jumped in. The pull
motor was secured from the public
service and after physicians worked
for half hour to bring the boy to
consciousness he was pronounced
dead

CONVICTED HOTEL
MEN GET notice
Mausert and Seibert Ordered to
Show Why Licenses Should
Not Be Revoked.

Formal notice was today served on
George e. Mausert. of the Hotel
Broad, and John Seibert. proprietor
of the Bank Cafe at rs Bank street.
both of whom were recently convict
ed of keeping a disorderly house, to
show cause before the Excise Board
on next Wednesday afternoon why
their liquor licenses should not be re-
voked.
The hearings were originally
scheduled for a week from tomorrow
the regular board meeting day, but
several of the commissioners will be
out of town on that day and Wednes-
day was finally fixed The regular
board meeting is scheduled for 2
o'clock. while the hearings have been
set down for O'Clock.
In compliance with instructions
from the board Inspector william
Degnen has already procured from
the county authorities certified
copies of the indictments and tran
scripts of the trials in both instances
Some time ago, just after the con-
viction of Seibert, the board took up
the question of revoking his license
II was contended by his counsel,
Frederick L. Lehlbach. former as
sistant prosecutor, In an opinion. that
inasmuch as his client had appealed
from his conviction, 1t acted as a
stay of the revocation proceedings.
The same contention II is understood
is made by Mausert, who has also
appealed.
City Attorney Herbert Boggs, how
ever, has taken the opposite stand
and 1t is under his opinion that the
board is now acting.
Unless both Mausert and Seibert
can show good reason for the board
to withhold action there is every in
dication that the licenses for both
places will be revoked.

PATERSON. N. J.. July II. - The
end of the silk strike, which has dis
rupted Paterson for nearly six
months, was clearly forecasted today
by decided break in the ranks of
the strikers.
The announcement made by Joseph
G. Ettor that big Bill' Haywood
had withdrawn from active partici-
patton in the strike took the heart
out of the millhands more than any
thing since the labor war was start
ed
Ettor explained at mass-meeting
of the strikers that Haywood is
physically unable to continue his
leadership at the present time. Hay
wood is under indictment on a charge
of melting to riot and he is to be
tried during the September term of
court. The conviction of Quinlan
and the disagreement of the jury in
the case of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
has not had a reassuring effect on
either Haywood or any other of
his colleagues in the I. w. w.
Ettor said that hereafter he will
lead the strike. With fiery eloquence
he urged the operatives to redouble
their efforts at picketing.
The effects OF the strike on the
city are little less than disastrous.
The latest silk dye firm driven to the
wall Is that of the Daniel j. Sheehan
Company. of 20s-213 Paterson street.
Charles F. Lynch was yesterday ap-
pointed receiver by Judge Rellstab,
of the United States District Court.

TO PICK TERMINAL
EXPERTS FOR CITY
Works Board May Today Sc
lect DR.. D. F. Wilcox and
F. Van z. Lane.

Before taking any definite step re-
garding the twenty-seven franchise
applications of the Public Service in
connection with the general terminal
scheme. the Board of Works will Sc
cure expert advice on the plan as
mapped out by the trolley officials.
There are certain phases of the
present plan on which engineers dis
agree and for this reason the board
intends to have its own experts go
thoroughly into the matter before
making any decision.
In all probability the board at,'its
meeting this afternoon win appoint
DR.. Delos f. Wilcox and r. Van U.
Lane to work in an advisory capa-
city to the city engineers in un-
raveling the problem. The appoint
ment of the experts was practically
decided upon at a conference of the
board members yesterday afternoon.
Suggests Changes In Plans.
pr. Wilcox recently made a study of
LOYAL conditions and advocated a num-
plans. Mr.. Lane is a traffic engineer
and has done considerable work for
the City Plan Commission. He is at
present at work in Jersey City, in the
employ of the Merchants Association.
studying the question of vehicular
traffic on ferries. 1t is understood
that he has just about completed his
work there and will be ready to take
hold of the local proposition.
Some time ago the board referred
the many engineering questions In
volved in the terminal scheme to a
conference of engineers composed OF
Philander Belts of the Public Utility
Commission, Mr.. Goodrich of the City
Plan Commission, Richard e. Dan
forth of the Public Service, and Chief
Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd.
1t is understood that their report
on the problem will be presented to-
day. 1t is understood that the prin-
cipal objections found in the present
plan were the many curves inVolVed.
Strenuous objection is made, 1t is un-
derstood TO the proposed curve at
Springfield avenue and High street.
wnI Use Brnnford Place.
Instead of curving into High street
TO Warren street to Washington
street, it is their plan to use Branford
place, from Springfield avenue to
Plane street, north on Plane street 10
the terminal.
Objection is also raised to the max
ing of the entrance of the subway in
Washington street. 1t is contended
that such a plan, If it is put through,
will spoil this thoroughfare, which
many believe is destined to become
great business thoroughfare. AS a
substitute it is suggested that the en-
trance be made on Plane street.
BY this means, 1t Is pointed out, the
cars would enter a private right OF
way and cross Washington street un-
der the ground instead of cnrving
from the street into a private right
of way at present. The present plan,
it is pointed out, makes grade cross
ing across the east sidewalk, which
in the eyes of the conference is highly
Objectionable.
Other changes of minor Importance
are also suggested in the report,
which. in all probability, will be pre-
sented by Mr.. Sherrerd.
