HENNESSY ACT
HAS NEW TROUBLES
Prohibits Action by Police
Courts in Petty Criminal Com
plants, Says Lawyer.

TRENTON, April 16.-Criminal com
plants can no longer be entertained
by the local police courts by virtue Of
the Hennessy home rule act, which,
according to City Counsel Bird makes
inapplicable the laws of 1910 and 1913,
under which the police courts have
handled petty criminal cases.
Mr.. Bird also declares that the Hen
messy act restores to justices of the
peace the power and jurisdiction
which they had prior to the enactment
of the 1913 law, which the attorney
general has advised Governor Fielder
is unconstitutional.
Acting Police Judge Hume will be
advised today that his court can only
entertain complaints concerning the
violation of city ordinances, those
arising from the disorderly act and
other complaints not involving viola
tions of the criminal statutes.
According to Mr.. Bird, acts of 1910
and 1913, namely, chapter n of the
laws of 1910 and chapter 10S of the
laws of 1913, empowered police magis-
trates to entertain and dispose Of
numerous minor criminal complaints
where the offender waived the right Of
trial by jury The police courts TAX
ing care of such cases relieved the
prosecutor of the pleas and the court
of quarter sessions from consideration
of many small matters, and conse-
quently the county was saved the eX-
pense attendant upon the prosecution
of such complaints.
Both the acts of 1910 and 1913, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bird. are no longer
operative in this city, because they
apply only to second class cities hav-
ing a population of 10000 or more,
whereas the. Hennessy act provides
that only laws applicable to all cities
OF the State are operative in the mu-
inequalities that have adopted the
commission government act;

English Paper Declares
Wilson'S Mexican Policy
Is Barred by Tampico Stand

LONDON, April 16.-Contrasting the
action of President Wilson in connec-
tion with the arrest of American blue
jackets at Tampico with what was
done when William S. Benton, the
British ranch owner, was killed at
Juarez, the Manchester Guardian, one
Of the leading Liberal newspapers.
SAYS today.
"Intervention which murder and
robbery failed to bring about is ap-
parently to be the punishment for a
merely symbolic slight on American
dignity
Expressing its admiration for the7
ability and the motives of President
Wilson. the Guardian says it is inn
possible to suppress doubts and mis-
givings on his Mexican policy. It
continues:
why should Villa murder with inn
punity and General Huerta be chas-
tised with the whole strength Of the
right arm of the United States for q
mere breach of international polite
ness? 1t would be far easier to bring
Villa to a better frame Of mind than
to teach Huerta manners In the one
case il would have been enough to
threaten the rebels that the embargo
on the expectation Of arms and am
munition from the United States
would be re-imposed. but what sort
of guarantee is there that the capture
of Tampico by the American aeet will
either mend Huerta's manners or re-
lieve the hardships of foreign subjects
in Mexico or help any of the interests
President Wilson is anxious to server
IF the United States is anxious for
an excuse for intervention in Mexico.
an insult to her flag will serve very
well, but no one knows better than
President Wilson that armed inter
vention once begun cannot easily be
confined to the limits that are set for
1t at the beginning. II is next to inn
possible for one country to make it
self partly responsible for the good
government of another and inde-
pendent country

LIKE PATCHING
A PEACE PACT,
THIS CONFERENCE
Fire Commissioners and Busi-
ness Men Discuss Alarm
Signal System.

The Board of Fire Commissioners
and a committee of business men,
subscribers of the a. d. r. system,
at a meeting yesterday afternoon in
city Hall discussed plans by which
the A. ID. L. system might be rein
stated. The commissioners suggested
that a telephone system with a direct
wire from the A. D. T. main station
TO headquarters i'm lieu of telegraph
system would improve the situation
and may lead to the establishment
of the A. ID. II. as under no conditions
could the discarded devices be re-
stored.
Commissioner Stratton explained
the proposed idea fully and convinced
those present that the telephone sys-
TEN would save at least two minutes
on every fire call over the present
telegraph system.
Officials of the A. d. T. we're not
represented. The committee of sub
scribers expressed themselves as well
satisfied with the meeting and agreed
with the commissioners in their new
idea.
In a letter sent to the subscribers
by the committee several days ago, it
was stated that the business men re-
allied that the tactics of the A. ID. r.
officials were seriously obscuring their
interests and decided to act independ-
entity Of the A. -. T. This action
was tire aftermath Of the session at
which the A. ID. r. representatives
and some of it's subscribers caused i'll
feeling by their demonstratiye ac-
tions.
The letter further declares that the
committee felt that the commission
ers are always willing to hear busi-
ness mems suggestions and this was
another reason that the A. ID. r. Of
fcials were not invited to yesterday g
session by the subscribers committee.
Louis A. Sayre, of SaXre ~ Son.
who at one time was bitter against
the fire commissioners for disconnect-
ing the lines of the A. ID. r. system,
was present at yesterdays confer
encc, and stated that he was very
much opposed to the tactics of the
A. ID. r. officials. and further declared
that the system as proposed by the
fire commissioners would be a decided
Improvement over the one formerly
used by the a. ID. r
commissioners within Their Rights.
we know that you gentlemen
acted within your rights in discon-
Meeting the A. ID. r. lines, and we also
know that you will do all in your
power to see that we at all times get
the best possible fire protection, said
Mr.. Sayre.
"And let me also add that in my
opinion we have the very best fire
department in the world for a city as
large as Newark" continued Mr..
Sayre.
The self-appointed committee tired
of the way things were going on be-
tween the A. ID. r. officials, it was
explained, and the fire commissioners
took it upon themselves, as business
men, to confer with the commits
sioners without any \. d. r. officials
present to interject irrelevant argu-
ments.

sioners explained that the old system

WASHINGTON, April to-
Huerta has promised Charge
O'Shaughnessy to salute the
American flag in apology for
the arrest of American blue
jackets at Tampico.
The news was received at the
White House today just as Sec
retary Bryan and Acting Chair
man Shively, of the Senate. for
eign relations committee, went
into conference with President.
Wilson.
Unless Huerta changes his
mind, the crisis promises to pass
over within the next twenty-four
hours.
| With smiling faces Senator Shively
and Secretary Bryan came from the
| White House conference.
! The President has some very in
! tcresting news" said Senator
Shively.
7 Convinced Crisis Is Passed.
"Fhe situation is highly encourage
ing" said Secretary Bryan.
! Then 1t was made known that dis
patches from Charge O'Shaughnessy
( had described his conference with
Fiuerta last night as very cordial
and satisfactory" and officials said
| they We're convinced that unless the
Charge had misinterpreted Huerta's
Intentions there was no doubt that
compliance with the American de-
mands for apology would be forth
coming Within the next few hours
and that the crisis would be passed
The text of the dispatches was not
made public nor was any formal
statement made describing them.
No orders were issued to the ships
already steaming toward Mexico, nor
was. there any. change in the plans
for enforcing President WILSON'S do
mand. Some officials gave Ii as thesr
| PERSONAL view that after Huerta haq
\ complied with the demand for apology
and saluted The American flag some
of the ships now under way might be
| turned back, but certainly not before.
q. S. VIII Not TemporIzc.
1t was pointed out that all admin
istration officials We're gratified BY
tne news tnat duerld was ABOUT to
| yield but that there was no DISPOSE
! tion to temporize or delay further.
and that all the plans for action would
go as they lie Until all cause for acf
/ ton had been removed.
| Other dispatches from Charge
! O'Shaughnessy We're expected today,
but both President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan were convinced by the
F., dispatches already at hand that
! Huerta had yielded to the pressure

I of the fleet on both coasts to back up
the demands
Diplomatic representatives in Mex
leo, under orders from their home
foreign offices, anxious to avert

and Mexicans in the United States
had advised him that to apologize
would be the best thing for Mexico.
