FIREMAN WHIRLED
IN WAGON WHEEL
Missing Apparatus Answering
Alarm, Hurt Trying to, Board
Battalion Chiefs Gig.

Joseph ChenoWeth. a firman, of En-
gine Company No. l, lies at the City
Hospital in a serious condlt on as the
result of an accident received in an
swering an alarm Saturday night.
He Is suffering from a fracture of the
skull, cuts and bruises and probably
internal injuries.
Chenoweth was asleep in the dor
mitory of the engine house when an
alarm was sent in for fire in the
stable in the rear Of 20 Bridge street.
He missed tn apparatus attachd to
his command. Chnoweth heard the
changing of the wagon of Battalion
Chief Morgan and decided to jump in
back of Morgan's gig. The wagon
was going down Mulberry street at
rapid rate when the fireman tried
to jump.
The swerving of the wagon caused
Chenoweth to m sjudge the distance.
He made a lurch and his hands hit
the swiftly revolving back wheel. His
body was whlrled around in the air
and hurled to the pavement. His
cries attracted the attention of Nor
gan, who looked back and saw cheno-
weth on the ground unconscious.
The horse was quickly checked and
the injured fireman rushed to the
City Hospital. That he was not killed
In considered miraculous. The in
jured man Is about forty years old,
married and resides at 169 Bloom
field avenue.

MEX|CANS WILL
FIRE SALUTE TO
AMERICAN FLAG
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels Confident Apology
Will Be Made.
REAR ADMIRAL MAYO'S
DEMAND is APPROVED
Bryan Is Reticent Over Story
That Huerta Will Pre-
vent Action.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Presi.
dent Wilson told callers today that g
salute would be fired to the American
flag by Mexican Federals at Tam
pico as an apology, for the recent ar
rest of American marines.
The President spoke with such con-
fidence that his hearers took it tC
imply that that point would be in
sisted upon. The President has al
ready approved Rear Admiral Mayo's
demand for the salute as an apology
Secretary Daniels also had notined
Admiral Mayo that his action is ap-
proved. "The salute will be fired,
was his positive announcement to-
day. He added that he did not con-
slider the element of time an inn
portant one, because of the difficulties
of communication between Washing
ton and Tampico.
Secretary Bryan was reticent to
discuss the Tampico incident He
said he was in close correspondence
with Charge 'Shaughnessy over
Huertas S promised investigation. He
declined to reveal the nature of any
dispatches between the State depart
ment and the Charge and would
neither affirm or deny reports that
General Huerta had forbidden the
Salute demanded by Admiral Mayo.
In some official circles the suggestion
that Huerta would refuse to permit
the salute was received with surprise.
In their opinion the refusal might
compel drastic action on the part of
the United States.

Every Effort Made to Kill Bill.

the two Keepers consented and took
Randolph there. Randolph unlocked
the front door and entered the hall
way. You boys sit down while l go

said Randolph. and Hammer and
Rost sat down.
Randolph went blithely up the front
stairway. Then he went just as
blithely down the back stairs and

patiently waited at the front door.
When Randolph did not reappear in
few minutes they went looking for
him and discovered the open door in

Randolph, and he is still missing to-

to DR. Payne, medical superintendent
Of the hospital. he ordered the sus-
pension of Hammer and Rost, pend

About n month ago Randolph
walked away from the county hos

"Antis' Confident OF Victory
at Oranges Special Election

The final canvass is being made to-
day by the commission rule advo-
Gates and their opponents in Orange
to get out a big vote at the special
election tomorrow. While both sides
are expressing confidence in the re-
suit, the anti-forces are apparently
more optimistic.
In order to adopt the commission
rule it is necessary that the affirma-
tive vote shall be at least 80 per cent
of the vote cast at the last general
Orange September IL, 1911, by a vote
of 1,377 to 1889.
With meetings in Orange Valley
and in Orange proper Saturday night
the anti-comnission government
forces paid their respecetes to Mayor
Frank j. Murray, who is leading the
fight to retire himself and other Of
ficials of the city. That the imita-
tion of representation of the public in
their government is un-American was
the statement of several speakers at
the meetings, and the notion that the
commission group of five men will
speedily remove all the administra-
ton troubles in the city was ridiculed.
The Socialists had a meeting at
Main and Day streets, and talks were
given by Wilson b. Killingbeck, who
said he will be a commission candi-
date if the scheme is adopted at the
special election tomorrow, and Pat
rick Quinlan, who warned the public
that it will be easier for corporations
to handle five men than fifteen.
At the alley meeting in Columbia
Hall James j.. Moriarity, of Orange,
chairman Of the Democratic County
Committee, gave an extended talk.
and J. ictor D'Aloia, of this city, also
spoke to the voters In English and In
Italian.

BECKER UNINOVED
AS GANGMEN DIE
Remains StoIid and Scans Pa
pers for New Evidence to Fa-
vor His Own Case.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Charles S.
Becker was the most watched pris-
orer in the Tombs yesterday. Every
prisoner wished to know how he had
taken the decision of Justice Goff
that the gunmen could not have q
new trial.
Becker himself said nothing. He
went through the usual routine and
took his exercise, attended services
and went to his cell. His face was
drawn, his lips a bit closer together,
but to those who watched him, he
gave no outward evidence of his
thoughts
There were no visitors except news
paper men. To these he refused to
comment on the decision of Justice
Goff or the death of the four men
who, Rose, Vallon, Schepps and Web
her say, carried out his orders to slay
Rosenthal.
Last night he was in bed at 10

DEFECTS IN BILL
EXPECTED TO BEAT
COMMISSION RULE
Proposition Likely to Be Re-
jected by Overwhelming Vote
in Orange Tomorrow.

The discrepancy of the alleged de-
fects in the Hennessy amendment to
the Walsh act is expected TO result in
decisive defeat for the commission
government forces in Orange tomor-
row. The members of the Anti Com
mission Government League and
others opposed to a change in gov
ernment are jubilant and predict an
overwhelming majority against the
proposition.
The amendment has been sent to
the office OF the secretary of state
after being signed by Governor
Fielder 1t is thought to be now
beyond recall except through a spe-
eial session of the Legislature.
The Hennessy amendment intto-
duced in the Senate by Senator Hem
messy as Senate bill 200, has raised
alarm in every city in the State now
under commission rule, as well as
all the. e.town and other municipalities
that have commission government.
JERSEY city, Trenton. Passaic, At
lantie City and Long Branch are the
cities affected Some OF the legal
lights claim that the entire charters
of cities under commission govern
ment are nullified and that all bond
issues authorized under the Walsh
act would be rendered worthless by
the Hennessy amendment.
Hawkins, Delafield & Longfellow,
representing the principal bond brok-
ers of New York, have declared that
the Hennessy amendment will rem
der the issues of any bonds by the
present government invalid and the
bonds themselves yaiueless. The
opinion was given to Finance Com
missioner George Il. Brensinger, of
Jersey City
City Counsel Nugent in comment on
the act said that it was entirely true
the act would have the eeffct which
the New York lawyers say it has. In
his opinion and that of other lawyers,
1.-The city ~ Newark, If ii was under
commission government, could not
issue bonds to pay for its share of the
Passaic alley sewer, because there Is
no law which applies to all munich
palities which permits it,"
City Counsele Charles h. Bird, of
Trenton declares that that city is
now without a charter as the result
of the Hennessy amendment.
Despite these opinions, however,
Mayor Franak j. Murray, of Orange.
leader in the campaign to oust the
present administration, believes that
the Hennessy bill win not damagae
his cause.
"Hennessy and Governor Fielder
have both declared the bill to be all
right he says, "and. of course, l
should prefer to believe their opinion
against the statement of James r.
Nugent In any case, the law does
not become effective until July 4, and,
rather than tie UP Passaic, Trenton,
Jersey City anw other, the governor
could easily call another session of
the legislature and correct the error,
if any exists.
For this reason | believe that the
effect of the new measure on the
Orange election tomorrow will be nil.
As for our chances of carrying the
day, have said before that predic
tions are idle. but, at the same time,
| am personally confident"

No possible excuse can be given for
the failure of the bill to leave the
speakers desk, as it rested there
fully three weeks, unless it was by
request of some member that it be
not moeved forward for considera
tion. If that was the case, then the
people lost the chance to purchase
their own food fish at reduced price
through conniVance of someone who
had more than q passing interest in
the bill. Another feature that aided
in suppressing the Star bill was the
opposition from q State commission
closely allied with the fishing busi-
ness of which more might be said in
the future. This body went out OF
its way to tell members of the Legis-
lature that it was opposed to the bill
for different reasons, and those mem
hers called the attention Of The Star
representative to the talk, but it
was too late to stop it.
Explanation Is Sought.
Many officers of different civic
bodies have asked for an explanation
as to the cause of the defeat of the
bill, and the same explanation as Is
given here was given to them II
caused surprise, to be sure, but they
don't know the Legislature and its

PRESIDENT SAYS
TOLLS REPEAL IS
LEGISLATIVE ACT
Declares That It Would Not
Serve as Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty Interpretation.

WASHINGTON. April 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson declared today that the
repeal of the Panama tolls exemp-
ton could not be regarded as an in
depreciation of the Hay Pauncefote
treaty because it would be a legisla-
tive act. He held chat an amend
ment setting forth the rights of the
United States under the treaty was
necessary, in his opinion.
The President took the same view
as Secretary Bryan, that by repeal
ing the exemption, the United States
merely showed a disinclination to
raise the question of discrimination,
but did not by it's act limit any fu-
ture policy of the government. Mr..
Wilson drew a distinction between a
legislative act and an authoritative
Interpretation of a treaty; the latter
of which would have to be formu-
lated by the executive branch of the
government and ratified by two
thirds vote OF the Senate

JOHN LIND BACK

a government automobile waited
fr the Presidents envoy as he came
ashore to set foot on American soil
for the first time in many months.
Mr.. Lind went at once to an uptown
hotel near the White House Presi-
dent Wilson told inquirers that he
hoped to be with Mr.. Lind later to-
day. Secretary Bryan had arranged
his trip to Miami, Fla, so he could
have conference with Mr.. Lind be-
fore leaving.
On the Mayf1ower with Mr.. Lind
were Mrs. r. F. Fletcher, wife of
Rear Admiral Fletcher and her two
daughters, and Mr.. Lind's daughter
Miss Jenny. Mrs. Lind was expected
here from Minnesota today TO join
her husband
So far as was known early today
Mr.. Lipd's plan was to go west for
o. rest, probably to French Lick, Ind
There was no plan today about his
returning to Mexico.
Mr.. Lind remained at his hotel only
few minutes and then disappeared
beIOfe lnqulrers could reach him. 1t
- said he was expected at the
White House during the day. Sec
retary Bryan said ~he had planned
o conference with the Presidents en-
yoy but did not know whether it
would be at the White House with
the President or at the state depart
ment
When President Wilson recently
announced that Mr Lind was re-
turning to the United States he
stated that it was for a short vaca-
tion made necessary by long stay
in a tropical climate, and specifical-
ly pointed out that it would be
mistake to interpret his return as
Indicating any other development in
the situation.

intent was admitted yesterday by
Davies to DR.. A. A. Mutter, who at
tended him at the hospital. 1t was ia
the physician that Davies gave his
name and address. He said he was
respondent. His parents and three
brothers live in Bolton, England.

and Mrs. Christopher Delaney, at 104
Hoyt street, Kearny. He came there
Christmas eve from Toronto, Canara,

of Mrs. Delaney.
Davies left the house at the Hoyt
street address Saturday morning with
the evident intention of going to
work in this city, a position which
he secured only last Wednesday,
after being idle for about five months.
He was not seen again until 1880
o'clock Saturday night, when Elmer
Blanchard, in his home at Elm street
and Belleville turnpike, North Ar
lington, heard some one knock on his
window, and hurried outside to find
Davies leaning against the house for
support and gasping that he had
poisoned himself. He was hurried to
the hospital
Davies's identity could not be
learned at the time, either from the
contents of his pockets or by re-
peated questioning The only reply
that could be obtained from him was
ia the effect that he lived at 10S
Hoyt street The police inquired and
found that the address was a vacant
lot. 1t was only when Star repre-
sentative made inquiries in the neigh
borhood that the dying mans identity
was made certain
