setting sail after various field and ira x
records in the effort TO land the an
nual championship games.
Whether or not the competitors will
be able to best the existing records is
a matter of a few hours Prediction 1
made yesterday seem to favor the OLD
m arks, as 1t is pointed out that but one
mark. that in the go hurdles. msde by
Paul Blackstone. of Central. two years
ago, liz the only one that mas been bet
tered in a number OF seasons.

shown in the number of champions he
has produced.
The oldest mark witbstanding the test
is that set bv Mike Stuart. of Central.
who. back in 1895. bTeezed through the
mile i'm Z minutes 2-5 seconds Today
Bob Galloway, the Central miller. is
expected to better the mark set by tie
man who afterward made many wins
possible for the University of Pennsy'-
vania.
The 10c-yard dash mark was set bv
DICK Dear. OF Central. in 1901. Even
time was made for the century on
Georgetown field in a meet against
developed into dual affair between
Central and Western. and was won by
a scant half point margin. This mark
was equaled by Morse. Of Western. in
1906.
The furlons mark also is held by
Dear, who was clocked In 1902 in % 2-5
seconds. Lepper. of Tech. and Reuter-,
OF Central. are tied in the 1o0-meter
sprint, with a mark of IL 20 seconds.
This event has been taken off the pro-
gram.

in the quarter mile, with a mark Of
55 seconds fiat, having romped in ahead
Of all the others in 1898 IN the half
mile. Wilson. Of Central. set a mark
OF minutes 2-5 seconds Today Shee-
han, Of Tech. is expected to clip on
~ eral seconds from this record.
In 1906 Sidney Kent. with leap of
Il feet Ils inches. set mark which has
since stood. While approached at
times. the leap has never been dupli-
Gated. Jones. of Western, last year
failed to get out fartlSr. having out
jumped the others in his first try. and
was content to let IL go at that.
Curtis. of Central. who afterward
went to Princeton. set the high jump
record at feet s inches. IN 1898, the
same year that Stuart made his mile
mark. None of the competitors since
have been able to better this record

FOUR MEMBERS Of
FAMILY INDICTED
IrVington Man, Two Sons and
Daughter-in-Law Released
Under Bail.

Four indictments have been re-
turned by the Federal grand jury
against Frederick c. Hammel, a
building contractor. of Florence ave
nue., Irvington; his two sons, Arthur
e. and Henry c. Hammel, and his
daughter-in-law,M Mrs. Mary Ettlinger
Hammel, wife of Henry. The indict-
ments are the result of alleged con-
cealment of assets with intent to de-
fraud creditors in anticipation of
bankruptcy.
Hammel with his sons, composed
a contracting firm under the name
Frederick c. Hammel & Sons. The
firm failed, and prior to going into
bankruptcy it is alleged the Hammels
transferred property in Florence ave-
nue., Irvington, and Elm street New
ark, to Mrs. Anna Abella, an aunt of
Mrs. Henry Hammel. The Hammels,
it is said, admitted to Referee Edwin
G. Adams that they had made up
most of their testimony so that the
property their father had worked for
could be saved for him.
All four of the Hammels were ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner Edwin r. Semple yester-
day afternoon following their arrest
by Deputy Marshal Denny They
were released in $1,000 bail to appear
tomorrow before Judge Haight in the

Hundreds Visit New
Ludlow & Squier
Store at Its Opening

An innovation in hardware store
display in this city is shown in the
recently renovated store of Ludlow &
Squier at 97-99 Market street. The
three-days' opening of the store since
the alterations have been completed
started today. Hundreds of persons
visited the establishment to see how
the firm took the hard" out of hard
ware" as its press agent says.
On the first floor of the building all
the tools, cutlery and other articles
are kept in glass cases. Most of these
are placed perpendicularly along the
walls. Seven large oblong cases are
placed along the floor. The articles in
the cases are arranged in pleasing
style.
1t is now possible to present $4,000
different articles to the public view
by means of the display cases. Here
tofore 1,600, or one-tenth of the num-
Der now shown, was the limit.
The new store entrance on Wash
ington street was opened for the first
time this forenoon. The Washington
street side of the store is devoted to
factory equipment On the Market
street site is the general salesroom.
According to Matthias Ludlow, SEN
iOr member OF the Hrnl, tnefe are
only five other stores in the country
with the display system similar to
the one in the local establishment.
The Newark house was started by
Matthias Ludlow February l, 1905. AT
that time the store consisted of the
Market street side of the first floor.
The entire four floors of the building
are now occupied. Henry S. Squier,
Mr.. Ludlow's partner. became identi-
fed with the firm on February 1,
1908

ORDER FOLLOWS
ENTRY OF VILLA
Mexican Capital Tranquil.
Foreigners Are Not Mo-
Tested.

WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-The en-
try of Provisional President Cutter
rez and General Villa into Mexico
City has been followed by fair order,
no friction and no molestation of
foreigners. Special Agent Silliman re-
ported to the state departmet. AL
though the arrival of Gutierrez and
Villa in the capital was reported
officially to the state department in
brief dispatch by way OF Juarez,
no details of their formal entry or
of the establishment of the new gov
eminent were contained in Silliman' S
dispatches.
Silliman reported that General
Villa had issued orders and regula-
tons for the occupation of the city
by his troops. No private property
is to be occupied without previous
consent of the owner. The street car
service, which has been irregular, be-
cause of the considerations, has been
restored and motormen and conduc-
tors have been granted a twenty-five
per cent. advance in wages.
Indication that the proposed opera
tons of the Villa and Zapata forces
against Carranza at Vera Cruz would
be delayed somewhat was seen in
Silliman's report that the Carranzis-
tas have destroyed part of the rail
road to Vera Cruz.
Brigadier- General Bliss reported to-
day that bullets from Mexican
snipers in Naco, Sonora, continued to
strike in American territory He has
again protested to Governor Mayto-
rena to prevent shots from being
fired over the border.

Once Prosperous Lawyer, He
Dies in BOwery Lodging House

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Bowery
lost one of it's strangest characters
Yesterday in the death of Andrew
Comstock, once a prosperous lawyer
For the last thirty years he had lived
the life of a semi-recluse in a 15-cent
room of the Arlington Lodging
House. at 212 Bowery. On Monday he
complained of not feeling well, and
yesterday he was found dead in his
bed
In an old shoe box in the corner of
his room were found documents and
legal papers so worn with age that
the ink had almost faded.
Comstock came to this city as a boy
from his home near Troy in 1860. He
studied law in the office of his brother
Albert and eventually became a part
ner in the law firm Of Comstock Bros,
which had offices on Broadway, near
Warren street. Since 1912 the old man
had been working as clerk in a sur
gical instrument concern in East
Twenty sixth street.

MANY PROTESTS
AGAINST LOOP

ished his remarks John L. O'Toole,
representing the Public Service Com
pany, took the floor to reply to him.
Mr.. O'Toole said in part;
CAS- we are embarking on this new
franchise we feel that some reply
should be made at this time to Mr..
Gillen. | must take issue with Mr..
Gillen in so much as he refers to the
two franchises, the Park place and
the loop around the apex at Military
Park as not having been included in
the original application for franchises.
with the applications filed Febru-
airy, 1915 along with the terminal
plans, these franchises were included.
The whole scheme of franchises at
that time was laid before the Board
of Trade, and was published In the
'Newarker.' For legal reasons, the
franchises were excluded at that time,
with the understanding that they
would be granted later"
Mr.. O'Toole also attacked the state
ment of Mr.. Gillen that the Public
Service had promised that it would
not ask for any further loops or
curves.
1.-The very fact" went on Mr..
O'Toole, that Green, Fair, Mulberry
and Market streets were included in
the general application shows that 1t
was essential to have these curves.
1.-THE Public Service appears before
you with this application because it is
a public necessity and will be a pub
lie convenience. 1t will not impose a
burden on the public"
George II. Gobel, representing the
Socialist party. said the Newark So
oialists had no love for the Public
Service Corporation, (which has
cheated the city out of hundreds of
thousands of dollars and has broken
every promise 1t ever made
I'VE are ready to believe Mr..
O'Toole as an individual, but not as
a representative of the Public Ser
vice Corporation" he said. IF we
grant this franchise permitting the
Public Service to steal a small part
Of Military Park, perhaps all of that
park may go, and we will see a cen
trail traffic station covering the park
and accommodating both the Public
Service Corporation and the Man
haitian Tubes"
At this 1uncture DR.. Kraemer told
the speaker to address the members
Of the oBard of Works and not the
audience back of the rail, and Mr..
Gobel replied: 81 have more conf
dence in the people on this side of the
rail than I have in those on your
side"
He then went on to say the grant
Ting of this franchise would give the
Public Service tighter grip on the
city, which would permit the barring
of a municipal railway.
Louis Hollander, representing the
Ironbound Improvement Association
protested the granting of the fran
chise on the ground of safety, saying
the overhead wires would be a menace
to pedestrians in time of storms and
to the fire department at all times.
Charles l.. Whitfield, a member OF
the Board of Health, advanced three
reasons why he was opposed to the
granting of the franchise. The first

POPE AND RUSSIA
FRIENDLY AGAIN
Cars Ambassador Again at
Holy See-Step in Peace
Plan of Pontiff.

by the lnileu GFtsss
ROME, Nov. 10 (by mail to New
York; The vatican and Russia have
just re-established cordial relations.
This smoothing over of past difficult
ties, brought about by a friendly in
timation from the Holy Zee and a
more than willing response from Rus
STA. is supposed to be one of the first
steps accomplished by Pope Benedict
in his plan to have the vatican Of
ficially represented at the peace con-
ference which will follow tn Euro
pean war.
At this conference Pope Benedict,
it is said, hopes have the powers
guarantee tn tmporal independence of
the Holy See and perhaps bring about
some new and better relationship be-
tween tn vatican and Quirinal, the
lack of which has kept the pope's in
voluntary prisoners for the last forty
years.
In the last few years of the
pontificate of the late Pope Plus X.
relations between the Vatican and
Russia became rather strained Tho
Vatican alleged that Catholics in
Russia were being submitted TO
prosecutions. Russia failed to offer
any satisfaction.
The reported intimation from Pope
Benedict that the Vatican would be
glad to see the Russian aubassadorial
place to it's rourt filled ret with quick
response and the new AMBASSADOR
Signor Nelidow, froc the dourt Of the
car, has just presented his creden-
tials to the court of Pope Bene-
dict XIV.
