DROWNING DID
NOT KILL BABY
Strange Case is Still More
Battling to Police.

After performing an autopsy on
the body of the infant, who was
found deal along the shoals Off Water
street Saturday morning, County
Physician Carroll yesterday after
noon declared that the child was not
drowned, as was at first thought, and
that the baby's body showed no signs
of having been strangled or that It
met with a violent death. This YER
dict though changing different phases
of the case, renders no light on
the mystery, which is now considered
by the police as impenetratable.
The county physician examined
both the exterior and interior of the
little form, but could find no cause
contributing to the infants death.
There were no indications of poison
on its stomach, no water on its lungs,
no scars or marks on its throat show
ing that the baby was not strangled
to death, did not die from poison
ing and did not drown. How the in
fant met its death is still more baf-
fling.
The child may have died from
natural causes, and to save the ex-
pSdst VI UuIldt Tue CORPSE was
thrown over the bulkhead, or 1t may
have been suffocated in a manner
that would leave no indications. Ia
the estimation of the physician the
child is about six months old.
Coroner James J. Flynn, who as
sisted the county physician In per-
forming the autopsy, will keep the
infant some time longer in hopes
that the mystery surrounding its
| death might be cleared up.

TWO OSTR|KERS|N
COURT ROOM
In Connection With Beating of
Terra Gotta Worker.

AS the result Of recent trouble
between strikebreakers and striking
pressers of the Federal Herra Gotta
Company, of Woodbridge, which
reached a climax here Saturday
morning when an employe OF the
works was severely beaten, two
strikers were arraigned before Re-
corder Pickersgill this morning. AS
has developed in cases tried in the
county court, no evidence was pro-
duced sufficient to convict the men
and they were discharged. Three
more strikers have been summoned
to appear before the recorder to-
night, on complaint of I.uggi La
Grande, of 413 New Brunswick ave-
nue., who, 1t is claimed, was badly
mauled and pummelled by the fists
of striking pressers Saturday morn
ing. Nearly all the men summoned
were secured through John Doe war
rants seryed'hy City Marshall nea=
Ricnd. The complaining employees
accompanied by Jerry OBrien men,
who guard the Woodbridge plant,
yesterday pointed out the accused
men to the officer.
One striker was accused of threat
ening an employe, but the charge
was substantiated by no convincin g
evidence; and another was charged
with assault, the evidence against
whom also fell fiat. The Italian
making the complaint in the latter
case said that one of the strikers
took his umbrella away from him
Saturday morning, but seemed too
scared to press the charge Of assault
and battery. Both cases were dis
missed, after the recorder had warn
ed the strikers, who crowded the
police court, concerning the annoy
ing OF the terra Gotta employees on
their way to work.
The following have been sum
moned to appear at o'clock to-
night In connection with beating
Grande; Martin Garti, of Washing
ton street; Adolpho Maffie, of 337
Washington street. and Antonio
Scott, of 267 Washington street. The
first named striking presser was ar
rested just outside the police sta
tion this morning, when he was
identified by LaGrande. He was
paroled until 7 o'clock,

REBELS READY FOR ATTACK
Special ev United Press wiro.

Juarez, Mex, April 1:-That the
occupation OF Torreon by the Mexican
Tehel troops under General Villa is
b, ing seriously menaced was the
word brought here today in unofficial
dispatches from Torreon. Advancing
on the city froI' the west is column
of federal rein1Jrcements said to be
very numerous. To intercept and
disperse this force Villa today sent
out $500 men under two generals
1t is supposed that the federal rein
forcements are those ordered from
Saltillo and Monterey under General
De MouTe. Although General Villa
late yesterday telegraphed officials
here that "Torreon had fallen" and
that his troops were in possession of
the city, not another word has come
from him. Some rebel officers ex-
pressed the opinion that Villas an
nouncement may have been prema-
turs and that the resistance Of the
federal defenders may not have been
ntirely overcome. No doubt is felt,
however, that the rebel control will
be complete very soon, II 1t is not
complete already.
There is feeling among rebel
leaders here that the Torreon battle
will constitute the principal fighting
of the whole Mexican revolution and
that when Villa has once swept the
country clean about that city his
march south will not be seriously
opposed until he approaches close ia
Mexico City itself.

FEMALE cop IN THIS CITY:
BILL READY TO BE SIGNED
AND BURKE WANTS ONE

Washers, fiirts and fops get on
your guard for Perth Amboy may
soon have woman cop. Chief of
Police Patrick j. Burke declared this
morning that the city needs a woman
officer. This statement was made
when he was informed of the passage
of Assemblyman Branegan's bill in
the senate last night. The measure
has already been through the house,
and now only needs the signature of
the governor to become a law. Ac-
cordfng to the bill such women
policemen will not have to take an
examination.
In speaking of the need In this city
for matron at the police station,
and a woman to do police work
which could be handled better by one
Of the fairer sex than by male off,
GERS, the chief said, 1--WE ought to
have police matron for the station

here, and to look after other cases
on the outside" He pointed out that
often fallen women, incorrigible chill
dren that at times sojourn in the
police lookup might be given a last
ing inspiration if they were taken in
charge by a kindly matron. He also
showed where woman could be of
material use to the detective SER
geants in mysteries engrossing fe-
males. Then, too, female cop
could certainly get convicting evil
dence against professional mashers,
if, of course, such officer were petite
and comely.
When Mayor Garretson was asked
If he would appoint woman as an
officer for the city on the signing of
the above legislative measure, he
said there would be no appointment
of police officers this year. The
mayor did not seem as enthusiastic
about the need Of women policemen.

Washington, April 1.-An ulti-
matum went forth from the White
House today to the senate commit
tee on inter-oceanic canals. 1t was
that unless the committee promptly
reports the Panama canal tolls repeal
bill the administration forces in the
senate with an estimated majority
of sixteen will summarily force the
committees hands. The President
has decided after comforting with his
advisers that the rules of the senate
shall not be permitted to delay i'm
mediate action on the measure on
which he has set his heart.
The decks were being cleared to-
day for q fight that for far reaching
effects will eclipse that which ended
in the house last night. There was
no hesitancy in admitting at the
White House that the entire future
foreign policy of the administration
hangs in the balance in the present
fight
One Of the first arrivals at the
White House today was Senator
| Owen, of Oklahoma. He will be the
! administration mouthpiece on the
floor of the senate in the tolls fight.
1t was through Owen that the admin
| istration's ultimatum was conveyed
| to the senate and to Senator O'Gor-
man, of New York, chairman of the
| committee, and who is opposed to re-
! peals. For one week this committee
will be permitted to debate the meas
| ure and then it must report. If 1t
| does not Owen made 1t very plain
that he, personally would force the
issue and move to present the bill
| to the senate.
| Friends of the administration have
urged postponement of further ac-
ton until after the November elee-
ton. 1t has been suggested that a
delay of this kind would permit the
people OF the country to express their
views more definitely on the repeals
issue. This suggestion has been re-
| jected by the President. The Presi-
J dent is very hopeful that the senate
! viii agree that the question at iasua
Is SO simple that there is no need
of extended debate. Secretary Tum-
| ulty, who handles the toll fight for
| the President outside of the house
| chamber was equally confident to-
| day of victory In the senate. He said
| that the poll Of the senate by friends
of the President showed a safe and
clear majority Of sixteen votes.
