STILL HUNTING
FOR SIGNATURES

1t was announced this morning that
the petition for the calling of d spe-
cial election to vote on the question
of the adoption of commission gov
ernment for Newark, would not be
filed with City Clerk James F. Con-
nelly today, the time fixed upon some
weeks ago for fling the document.
The Commission Government
League is anxious to obtain more
signatures as it is admitted that
many of those on the list will not
hold good in law. The leaguers are
still engaged in the hunt for sigma
lures of bona fide voters.
They have the experience of kearny
and Irvington in mind and are shy
about running up against legal
obstacles. A committee was appointed
TO wait upon the city clerk and talk
the matter over with him.
After viewing the question from
every angle, the executive comittee
oil the league decided last night to
defer for a fem days longer the filing
of the petition.
1t was found that even a more or
less superficial examination of the
petitions required great deal of time
IN order to demonstrate to the satis-
faction of committee that the names
affixed to petitions were those of
citizens who voted at the last cleo
tion.
Cases have been found of voters
who have moved since the last elec-
ton and have signed. from their new
address, making 1t difficult to locate
them. For instance, one signer who
was questioned regarding his sigma
ture, formerly lived in the First dis
trict of the Ninth ward, but signed
the petition giving his present adj
dress, which is in the Second district
of the Sixteenth ward. This difficulty
was explained some time ago by
former Assemblyman Eliot E. Ford.
The Walsh Act does not specify
the leagues claims that the voters
address shall appear on a petition,
but that the address should be there
as q means of identification of the
voter
II is because of number of such
signatures have been attached to Pc
titions that the work of investiga-
tion is delayed and also that the COM
mittee may be assured OF having the
number of names required by the
law
An appeal was made to members
TO make one last great effort to
round up signers.
Secretary Theodore S. F'ettinger
stated that one of the petitions con-
tain the names of the entire faculty
of one of the High Schools and that
church clubs had unanimously signed
petitions.

BURY NAVY DEAD
New England Towns and Chi
cago Pay Respects to Vera
Cruz Heroes.

BOSTON, May 14.-Under gray
skies New England today buried her
dead from Vera Cruz. The three men
try were Daniel A. Haggerty, Walter
L. Watson and Rufus e. Percy
Haggerty was buried in Cam
bridge; Watson in the little town of
Eastman, on Cape Cod, and Percy
at Highgate, Vermont, on the Cana
dian border.
The parents of Haggerty had their
dead to themselves only an hour or
two at their Cambridge home before
it wa sremoved, with a naval escort,
to the armory.
The School Board of the town
voted last night to name q school
in the Mount Auburn district in
honor of Haggerty.
The widely different surroundings
in which the three men spent their
youth were reflected in the arrange
ments for their funerals. Cambridge,
in the centre of New England's met
ropolitan district and the seat of one
of the State armories, was able to
honor the body of her son with a
military ceremony in which thou
sands participated.

FAIL To HALT
GARBAGE PLANT
Residents of Paterson Lose
Fight to Shut Down Dis
posal Station.

Vice. Chancellor Howell today dis
missed an application for an injunc-
tion restraining the city Of Paterson
and the Destructor Company from
operating a garbage disposal plant
within the city limits. The case was
brought before the Chancellor
on behalf of Harold J. HILL who de-
clared that the plant emitted smoke
and disagreeable odors and was a
menace to health. A number Of resi-
dents Of the neighborhod in which
the plant is located furnished aff1-
oavits in support of the application.
The vice-choncellor said that ne
based his decision on the apparent
fact that the garbage disposal plant
was a public necessity, operated by
the city for the benefit of the com
munity, under legislative sanction. It
appeared to him to be in the same
category as railroads. Railroads made
noise and caused smoke and dust to
spread in the neighborhood of their
tracks and caused property damage.
Yet, these annoyances are necessary
and are inseparable from the opera
ton of a railroad. They proceed with
legislative sanction. He added that
almost the same question arose in the
Passaic pollution cases. There it was
decided that the city could not be
enjoined Immediately. but was given
a long time to abate the nuisance.
He decided to send the matter for a
final hearing, at which witnesses
could be examined
He also intimated that there ap-
peared to be a difference of opinion
as to whether the destruetor plant
actually caused a nuisance that could
be dealt with by the courts. Some of
the signers of affidavits were of the
opinion that the smoke and dust
emitted by the plant was an annoy
ance to them, while others declared
that since the, reopening of the plant
after it was shut down in January,
all trouble had been cured.

NEW YORK, May 4.-Manhattan
yesterday paid its final honors to her
one son who gave up his lie IN the
Vera Cruz sl5irmish, when simple yet
impressive ceremonies were held over
the body of Dennis Z. Lane, VINO WAS
born and brought up in the Murray
Hill district of this city. He lived in
1856 East F'orty-fifth street, and the
neighborhood knew him as a studious
attendant of ST. Francis Xavier Aead-
emy, and then as loyal son of Uncle
Sam on the u. S. S. New Hampshire.
Between five and ten thousand per-
sons participated in the services.
Flags were at half-mast, heads were
barred and silent admiration was
manifest along the line of march
which the cortege followed.
Preceding the hearse was a band OF
ten sailors from the Brooklyn navy
yard; then came 100 Spanish War
Veterans, followed by 100 cadets of
the st. Francis Xavier Academy,
who, like the war veterans, had a
band of music. Ten members of the
Ninth Coast Artillery followed the
cadets. Two carriages, bearing
flowers. directly preceded the hearse,
and behind it another band, sent by
the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin.
The cortege slowly moved to st.
Agnes's Church, at which the hero
had been a worshiper. The church
was crowded to the doors, and 5000
persons were unable to get in.

With the Barnum & Bailey circus,
which comes to Newark next Monday

Davenport, was one of the stars of
his day, and so was his grandfather.

War Department Stirred.
The War Department is more stir
led up over the Parks case than it
cares 20 admit. Representatives of
the Constitutionalists notified the
State Department today that the first
thing to be done at TampicO will be
to send troops into the oil fields to
restore order, and then to permit the
working crews to get back at the jobs
on the wells. This will bring heavy
revenues to the Constitutionalist
treasury in the way of heavy export
duties.
Meanwhile the plans for the OPEN
ing session of the mediators at
Niagara Falls next Monday are being
perfected. There is still uncertainty
regarding whether the Huerta dele
gates will arrive on time, as they are
tarrying in Havana. The Brazilian
representatives and those from the
United States will be there Sunday.
Arrangements have been made to
connect the White House In COM
munication with Niagara Falls by
telephone. 1t will be fixed so that
no outsider will be able to hear the
talks. The American representatives
will also have access to a private
telegraph manned by government
operators. The state department
was expecting to receive today the
report of the arrival of the Amerl-
can vice-consul John Silliman, at
Mexico City. The French consul at
Saltillo reported that Silliman left
there under guard Yesterday.

all else today. 1t has served to en-
p1asize the extent of the enormous
territory already held by the Carran-
zistas. And it also emphasizes the
almost complete detection of Huerta.
His revenues are completely inter-
rupted. Vera Cruz, Tampico and
Tuxpam furnished more than two
thirds of the entire revenues of the
nation. The United States holds the
first, the rebels the second and Tux
pam is so isolated that its commerce
is completely paralyzed. Realization
of this fact may force Huerta's hand.
Whether he can control the populace
of Mexico City with the capital dis
trict when tales of victory filter
through is not known. Consensus of
opinion here is that he will be for
tunate If he does not have to fight a
revolution right in the capital.
To Rush saItillo Campaign.
The fall of Tampico means the i'm
mediate pushing of the campaign
against Saltillo and San Luis Potoei
In the various conferences between
Bryan and former Judge Douglas,
counsel for the Constitutionalists, it
has been pointed out that the rebels
have lost much sympathy in this
country because they have failed to
follow up their successes. Douglas
says there will be no reason for COM
plant this time.
The best advices received here indi-
cate that Huerta has less than 10000
real soldiers now available for SER
vice in the south. The hundreds of
raw recruits recently drafted have
not been armed or equipped, because
the Dictator could not rely on their
loyalty He will now have to take
that risk. Secret agents of the revo-
lutionary party are reported to have
heen spreading discomfort even in the
ranks of Huerta's veterans.

A VERY LIGHT VOTE

The official count OF the vote cast
at the primary election of the oath oil
March by the republicans of the state
has been given to the public.
The democratic vote was also can
vassed, but not as much interest has
been manifested in it as in the repub
lican nominations, for the reason that
the normal position of the democrats
of South Dakota is that of the mi
nority.
The canvass shows that the repub.
lican vote cast on governor totalled
1874. The registration lists show
that $4,000 republicans were register.
ed and it therefor appears that over
$1,000 of those republicans who regis.
tered did not vote on election day.
Nearly one-third of those who ex-
pressed an intention to vote remained
away from the polls. This apparent
lack of interest was as noticeable In
the cities as in the rural precincts and
1t cannot therefore be attributed to the
exactions of farm work.
There was a cause for the wide
spread apathy and it may come out in
the subsequent campaign transactions.

question of the constitutionality of a
number of appropriations, known as
contingent funds, such as the game
fund, dairy fund and various expense
funds was raised, as was the validity
of the appropriations. The court holds
in effect, that there is no constitutional
regulation of the language required in
making an appropriation, any Ian
guage showing that to be the legisla'
tive intent being sufficient. The court
holds further there is no constitutional
limitation on what appropriations a
legislature may make, and the only
remedy is to secure a constitutional
amendment to that end.
