attorney in charge of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners legal interests, an
nounced that further development of

The union lawyer did not comment
upon the fact that the president and
a half dozen members of the women's

they saw no insignia on the man and
that union members who stood in the
vestibule Of Italian hall for an hour
before the panic started said the alarm
came from within the hall and no per-
son wearing such button had passed
them.
prosecuting attorney of Houghton
county who condcted the examination
of witnesses, facts fairly well estab
lished today were that an excitable
member of the audience raised the
cry, that there was no actual fire in
the hall, and that the doors were open
and the stairway clear when the panic
started.
"All we want is a finding based up
on facts developed at the inquest"
Mr.. Hilton said. "The identity Of the
miscreant who started the mad rush
for the stairs is of paramount import
ance and we intend to do what we can
to clear this up"
The testimony as to the button came
at the beginning and end of the after
noon session of the inquest.
John Burcar. who gave his age as
is and said he had lost sister in thu
disaster, excitedly told of seeing a man
muffled to his eyes in a fur collared
overcoat enter the hall. "He hollered
fire and then ran out" said the boy.
Il ran out too. He had an Alliance
button on his coat
The other witness, Mrs. John Koskl,
said she was twenty feet from the
man who wore a dark blue coat On
which was a white button. 1T looked
like an Alliance button" she said, "but
as too far away to read It,"
One OF two witnesses said there had
been some confusion in the hall be-
fore the panic started, but women in
charge of the celebration denied this.
Nearly all witnesses agreed that the
first alarm came from man, that it
was taken up at once in different
parts Of the hall and the rush for the
exit was instantaneous.
Someone hollered and we all start

Family Supply Houses in
Financial Trouble.

Harry Keller, a retired groceryman,

ceiver for the Peerless Grocery Com
pany, which operates chain of twen-
ty-three stores in Newark, Irvington,

ange and East Orange. The ware
house and general offices of the COM
pany are located at LAG Front street.
An involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy was filed against the company
last night in the United States Dis
trict Court at Trenton. The assets

about the same amount. The largest
creditors have Joined in a movement
for the reorganization of the company,
and the stores will be operated by

ton of business.
The Peerless Grocery Company was
organized fifteen months ago with a
capital stock of $4,000. George S.
Murphy is the president of the COM
pany and Walter H. Dickerson, sec
rotary. Sixteen of the chain stores
are located in Newark and the re-
mainder in the suburbs. The recent
expansion of the company's stores is
said TO have taken up so much of its
capital that the present condition re-
suited.
When the company began to fan be-
hind in payment of its bills a meet
ing of the largest creditors was called.
Tt was decided TO apply for the tenn
porary receivership so that all the
stores could be continued and the
good will of the concern preserved.
It is estimated the concern did $780,
600 worth of business annually.
The petitioning creditors are repre-
sented by Bilder & Bilder. The larg-
est creditors are Francis II. Leggett
& Co., Meyer-Carmody Importing
Company and Austin Nichols & Co,

The receiver will investigate the af-
fairs of the company, ascertain the
exact amount of liabilities and assets
and a complete reorganization scheme
will be attempted There will be no

the company, as il is believed that a
compromise viii be effected or an eX-
tension of time granted by creditors

AUTO DRIVER IS
GIVEN SIXTY-DAY
JAIL SENTENCE
BicycIist Jackie" Clark in
Hardy's Machine When Lat
ter Is Arrested.

Kenneth Hardy, twenty eight years
old, of 27 South Thirteenth street
was convicted today of driving an
automobile while drunk, ana SEN
fenced to sixty days in Jail by Judge
Hahn, in the First Precinct Court.
Hardy denied he was drunk. Dr.
Maurice Asher, of 10 Court street,
who examined him when arrested,
testified today Hardy was under the
influence of liquor. The prisoner
could not pass the simple tests of
sobriety to which he had beer sub
jected, DR.. Asher said. He could not
touch his nose with his finger, the
doctor said. Neither could he hold
his hand out straight.
There was an odor of liquor about
him; his eyelids dropped; there was
a blank expression on his face and
he talked incoherently," said DIR.
Asher in explaining how he reached
his conclusion that Hardy was
drunk
Hardy was arrested on Clinton ave-
nue. last night by Motorcycle Police
man Brodsky, at the direction of
Richard c. Jenkinson, of 67S High
street, head of the metal goods manu-
featuring firm of r. G. Jenkinson &
spector of motor vehicles.
In the automobile at the time of
the arrest was a party of five or six.
These included Jackie" Clark the
bicyclist; Joseph Mullady, of 60 North
Thirteenth street. Joseph Ketcham,
of 80 Grey street, George T. Thomas
son, a park policeman, of &c Park
avenue, who according to the testi-
mony, owned the machine.
The party was bound for a cafe in
the Weequahic Park section, where
they expected to dine, when arrested.
They had been out visiting several
cafes, according to the testimony
The occupants of the car said Hardy
was sober.
In disposing of the case Judge
Hahn referred to the auto trip as
nothing more than what is called a
joy ride"
This was plainly a joy ride" said
the court. This party, l take from
the testimony, didn't have any desti-
nation. They were simply going from
saloon to saloon, drinking. There is
no doubt In my mind but that Hardy
was drunk, and in disposing Of the
case / believe he deserves a little
more than the minimum sentence"
The law covering such cases gives
the court no alternative where a
conviction is found, but to impose a
Jail sentence.

NUTLEY|TE SAYS
WIRELESS HERE IS
AIDING GERMANS
Amateur Operator Protests to
Government Against Say
vile, L. l., Tower.

Samuel Bird, jr., of Prospect street,
Nutley, a member of the insurance
firm of Talbot. Bird & Co., of New
York, has written to Secretary of
State Bryan and Senator Root pro-
testing against the use of the wire
less tower at Sayville, L. l., to trans
nit messages from the German gov
eminent to the three German cruisers,
Dresden. Strassburg and Karlsruhe,
which have been somewhere off our
coast for several days.
Mr.. Bird has a wireless station at
his home in Nutley. As he is I'M
licensed he does not send, but this
is no bar to his overhearing words in
the air.
For the last few nights / have
heard these messages being sent for
about two hours each night" the in
surance man said. They were dated
from the German government at
Berlin and the address was interna-
tional code for the three German
cruisers named. The signature was
w. S. L., which is the Sayville tower.
Apparently they were received from
the tower at Nauen, Germany, by
Sayville, which forwarded them to
the cruisers.
They were all in code and unread

of business for a wireless tower or
American-that is neutarl-soH to bt
helping a nation at war to instruct
its war craft. I am not taking sides
All | am thinking of is the possible
danger to merchant shipping from
these instructions sent out by Ber-
lin.
There is a law against divulging
air messages, but I am not divulging
them because I could not read them
and don't know what they were. The
messages must have been received at
Arlington tower in Washington"
A the office of the Atlantic Com
munication Company, AZ West street
tower, the management would Meth
er affirm nor deny that German gov
eminent messages had been for
warded to German cruisers. It was
argued that the Sayville tower is a
public station of the Telefunken sys-
tenn and SO must receive and send
any messages offered 1t, whether
German, English or any sort.
The company had previously denied
having any communication with Ger
many from it's Sayville tower. 1t was
said that the tower would be kept
open without regard to the closing of
the Goldschmidt tower at Tuckerton,
this State, where fear of delicate
questions of neutrality arising caused
a decision to do no business at pres
emit
