And then, overcome by a frank
longing for affection, she threw her
arms around his neck, and put her
lips to his. They clasped each other
in their arms; the ardor OF young love
thrilled them.
The sound of table suddenly push

beggar, who had just arisen. They

To Be SUBM| TED
Action Soon on the Convery
Place Span.

Plans for the proposed bridge to
be erected over the Lehigh Valley
railroad tracks in the western sec
tion of the city for the extension of
Convery place have been prepared
and will be submitted to the Board
of Freeholders for approval either
the latter part of this week or the
early part of next week. This was
the substance of report made by
Alderman-at-large w. Guy Weaver
to query from Alderman William
Wilson at the meeting of the Board
of Aldermen last night
Mr.. Wilson broached the subject,
declaring it was time that definite
action was taken to start work on
the structure. His motion to have
the city clerk communicate with the
freeholders, informing them that the
council wishes action, was carried.
Mr.. Wilson said that the city had
gone to considerable expense, that
money was invested and interest was
being lost by the delay.
Mr.. Weaver reported that he had
conferred with County Engineer Fox
on the subject few days ago. He
had informed the alderman-at-large
that plans had been prepared, but
he was doubtful that they would be

SMASH STORY Of
JACK SULLIVAN
Becker's Chief Witness Tells of
Alleged Plot.
sotog b. United Press Wiys.


New York, May I9-Ripping with
crashing force through the defense
of Charles Becker, District Attorney
Whitman today smashed the story
told by Jacob Reich, alias Jack Sulli-
van, Becker's chief witness.
His thick lips shrieking with pro-
family, Sullivan for more than two
hours told of an alleged plot by
Bald Jack" Rose, Bridgie Webber
and Harry Vallon, who saddled on
Becker's shoulders the killing of
Rosenthal.
You say you talked with Rose
about the gunmen after Rose told me
they killed Rosenthal?" was Whit
mans first question on cross exami-
nation.
Yes" was Sullivan's reply, after
he had twisted and squirmed so that
the question had to be four times re-
peated
Didn't you know that not one
gunman was arrested until long after
that and that there had not been a
whisper of their names in the case
and the rest Of your story Is as true
as this?"
At this shot Sullivan, trying to
shout explanations, physically quail
ed in his chair and Becker covered
his face with his hands.
Isn't it fact that you are known
as the worst cadet on the East Side?
Don't you live by the earnings OF
the prostitutes? Was it not your
business in 1906 to bail these women
of the streets? Did you not perjure
yourself to this jury when you de-
MED that you ever profited by their
shame?"
To all these questions Sullivan
shouted denials, while Whitman,
through the production of records.
forced him to admit they were all
true.
Indications are that Becker, ap-
parently nailed hard and fast by the
states case, will be forced to the
stand in last effort to clear himself
of the gamblers assassination, was
believed certain when the defense
opened today. Becker, 1t was said,
is impressed with the fact that his
life is in dire terror and Is anxious
to brave the attack of District At
torney Whitman. He is opposed by
Martin T. Manton, his chief counsel.
Manton processes to believe the state
has failed to make out a case.

Mother" Jones the eighty-two
year old labor leader and speaker will
address an audience for the first time
in this city next Sunday afternoon.
AT recent meeting of the Central
Labor Union a committee was Sc
lected to try to secure the services
of the veteran strike worker for

zone. Edward CROUCH, chairman of
the committee and local organizer of

ed telegram from Joseph Cannon,
of the Carpenters union, stating
that Mother" Jones would be here
Sunday.
The place for the meeting has not
yet been selected. but the Audito-
rum will likely be used. The vete-
ran labor worker, who has been In
the thickest OF some of the most vfo-
lent strikes, was a central figure In
the atrocities in Colorado during the
time that the state militia and the
strikers clashed with fatal results,
until President Wilson sent United
States troops to take charge.

was the reply of DR.. Aueriano Urrue-

Huerta, when asked today how many
men had been put to death in Mexico
within the last twelve months.
The removal" Of countless Mexi-
cans of high and low degree during
the rule of General Huerta was
calmly discussed by Urruetia, once
minister of the interior and credited
with being Huerta's secret execution

Protests voiced by delegations Of
the Perth Amboy Board of Trade and
the Western Improvement Associa-
tion caused the Board of Aldermen
to defer action regarding the pave
ment of Amboy and New Brunswick
avenues. Five of the aldermen
voted to refrain from opening bids
to resurface the thoroughfares in
question, Aldermen John ]. Clark
and Chris Jorgensen voting to open
them. Chairman Clark, of the com
mittee on streets and sewers, became
personal and bitter in attacks on the
Board OF Trade and the Western
improvement Association and in
ferred by his speech that, If he could
help 1t, the people In the western
and northern section would have to
wait some time before they received
permanent payements. He wanted
the record so made as to show that
the people of those sections refused
an improvement offered to them by
the city, stating that the Western
improvement Association had been
bothering the council for improve
ments during the past year and a
half.
Amusement was caused as caucus
es were held prior to the pavement
discussion last night. The Democratic
councilmen left the Republicans in
the lurch before crowd that throng-
ed the council chamber. A ten
minute discussion was held in the
jury room, during a part of which
time the Republicans, Messrs. F..
William Hilker and William Wilson
held caucus Of their own on a jury
bench In the council chamber APP
plause came instantly as they took
the seat and there was much laugh

VIM. J. MURTACH
MADE INSPECTOR
Aldermen Elect Labor Man to
Office in Building Dept.
Last Night.
HAD SEVERAL CANDIDATES

William J. Murtagh, of 90 Wash
ington street, who has served for
some time as walking delegate for
the carpenters union in this city,
was elected inspector of buildings of
the city to fill the une3pired term of
the late Michael J. Mcnamara, fol-
lowing stiff fight at the meeting of
the Board of Aldermen last night.
There were seven other candidates
in the field and 1t required four bal
lots and caucus before decision
was finally reached.
William J. Leavy was the first man
nominated and his name was put IN
by Alderman Kelly. Alderman Hill
ker nominated George Hoagland; !;
Alderman John Kutcher, William J..
Murtagh; Alderman william Wilson,
John Coryell; Alderman Clark, Ed
ward s. Smith, and Alderman Jor-
gensen, Chris r. Lund. Upon the
first ballot each of the aldermen yot-
ed for the man they had named and
Alderman at Large Weaver voted
for Mr.. Leavy. Mr.. Wilson stated be-
fore and after the first ballot had
been taken that it would be far bet
ter to have the candidates compete
in a civil service examination, then
to let personal feelings and politics
figure in the election. Others noted
approval, seemingly, but not one
backed him up In his contention.
On the second ballot Messrs,
Wilson and Hilker voted for Mr..
Coryell; Messrs. Kelly and Weaver
for Mr.. Leavy; Messrs. Kutcher and
Jorgensen for Mr.. Murtagh and Mr.
Clark for Mr.. Smith. The third bal
lot found Hilker, Kutcher and Jor-
gensen voting for Murtagh; Kelly
and Clark for Smith; Wilson for
Coryen, and Weaver for Leavy. A
recess was then declared and Repub-
licans and Democrats held a joint
caucus for about fifteen minutes.
When 1t was over it was declared
that it was not known whether the
SUBJECT had been settled or had not.
The fourth ballot showed Hilker,
Kutcher, Jorgensen and Weaver vot-
ing for Murtagh; Clark and Kelly for
Smith, and Wilson passing.
Prior to the balloting applica-
tions for the position were received
from Chris r. Lund, William ].
for William ]. MuIegh, which were
referred to the building committee.
Upon recommendation of Chairman
Hilker of that committee, they were
referred to the committee of the
whole. The action which followed
| showed that c. Douglas Fraser and
Mr.. Mundy, who were declared can
didates, were given no consideration
by the aldermen in making nomina-
tions.
After Mr.. Clark had delivered a
speech concerning the qualifications
of his man, others boosted their can
| didates. The victorious candidate,
Mr.. Murtagh, has been serving as Ale
clerk in the assembly, at salary OF
$3.50 year. No term was mention
ed in connection with his election,
but 1t was understood that It was for
the unexpired term of the late r.
Mcnamara. He was reelected May
10, 1913. The term OF office is two
! years.

FORT WILL NOT
OPPOSE SCULLY
No More Politics for Him He
Says-ls Content.

The report eminating from Mon
mouth county that former Governor
John Franklin Fort would oppose
Congressman Thomas J. Scully for
reelection as congressman from the
third district this fall, has been de-
MED. When seen by a newspaper
man at his offices in the Essex build
ing, the former governor stated that
he would not run against Mr.. Scully
or anyone else. Mr.. Fort issued the
following statement:
Politics! No more for me. l am
through. l am happy with the prac-
tfce of my law and will not leave it
for one minute for the old game. /

Thomas J. Scully OF any one else.
This give as lasting promise.
Il was asked to run for assembly
IN Monmouth county last fall. Great
pressure was used in an effort to get
me into the race. l declined then
and do so now"
Mr.. Fort was asked II he would
run If the Progressives and Republi-
cans would unite and make him the
party choice. To this his statement
was Just as emphatic that he would
not.

Troops to Remain.

SpeCtOf OU bHitBd HTCSS wire.
Vera Cruz, May 19-With the oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz complete and
the town turned over to Brig. Gen.
Funston, one of two alternatives con-
fronts the American forces there.
Either Huerta will agree to get out
and the troops will supervise a con-
stitutional election that will choose
a president of Mexico satisfactory to
the administration at Washington,
or the American army will proceed
to Mexico City and force Huerta out,
putting in his place some man ac-
ceptable to President Wilson.
The elimination of Huerta and
whatever is the real object of the
second taking of Vera Cruz and what
ever happens, this port will be held
indefinitely by the United States, as
the base of such operations by the
Washington government. That is
why no part of the navy proceeded to
Cruz was completed. 1t had been
supposed that the United States in
tended to blockade all Mexican ports
and eliminate Huerta by cutting off
his supplies and revenue But Huer-
ia is to be eliminated by a much
quicker process. Either he will
agree to get out at once and mediate
through Argentine, Brazil and Chill,
OF troops proceeding from Vera Cruz
will put him out.
Whichever of these two courses
becomes an eventuality, the men of
the American forces realize they are
in for long stay In Mexico and are
making their preparations accord
ingly. They have settled down for a
certain amount of watchful waiting
-wetful wading, as the marines
call 1t. If mediation is accepted,
the process will be slow one. II
actual invasion of the capital is de-
cided upon to eliminate Huerta, that
too will be a slow process, necessi-
tating the arrival OF more troops, ar
tillery and locomotives. 1t is be-
lieved, therefore, that all that can
be expected in the near future is
the occupation and government of
Vera Cruz, with the possible extern
sion of the American outposts about

less than one-half gallon of asphaltic
liquid over each square yard of sur
face and the spreading OF three
quarters Of an inch of trap stone Of
a maximum size of three-quarters OF

was insufficient. He told of how
macadam roads went to pieces and
contended that such patchwork as
contemplated would be next to moth

stated 1t was anything but what was
wished. The speaker stated that the
organizations he represented request

treated likewise as far as Convery
