ment, one of which was for S3O6

GRANITE BLOCKS
PLANNED D IN HILL.
Proposition on Which Aldermen
Will Meet to Discuss
Tomorrow Night.
TO HOLD SPECIAL MEETING

With intentions of making proyi-
sion to place granite block on the
Amboy avenue hill without DELAYING
preparation for the proposed asphalt
block pavement to be constructed
there, members of the Board of
Aldermen will hold a special meeting
tomorrow night in connection with
their committee session. 1t is pro-
posed to lay stretches of granite
block, eight or ten feet in width, on
both sides of the asphalt block pave
ment for a distance of $50 feet on
the hill, which extends from near
Barclay street to Brace avenue.
This action has been decided upon
by the city fathers to provide safe
and desirable surfaces for drivers
whose horses may be in danger of
slipping or whose machines may be
In danger of skidding while going up
or down the hill. In event New
Brunswick avenue is paved from the
Lehigh Valley tracks to Convery
place, as is proposed, the hill leading
up to the city hospital property will
be treated in a like manner, granite
blocks being placed on both sides
decided upon for the general sur
face.
A resolution was passed at the last
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
to give public notice of intention for
paving Amboy avenue, from New
Brunswick avenue to st. Mary's Gem
etery property with surface of
three inch asphalt blocks 1t has been
the general contention that such a
surface would be too slippery and
consequently too dangerous for
horses and some kinds of vehicles
where a grade existed, as on the
hill in question. Decision has prac-
tically been made to install the gran
ite block surface. The subject will
be discussed prior to the special
meeting, which has been called for
tomorrow night.

SAY EXPLOSION
MAY Be PR0BED
Two Were Injured at Cartridge
Plant.

1t was learned today that the De-
partment of Labor may make a rigid
probe into the second explosion oc-
curing at the plant of the United
States Cartridge Company in Upper
State street last week News of the
explosion which caused the injury of
two or more employees, one of whom
was kept to his home for several days
under the care of a physician, has
just leaked out, indications being
that the management of the plant
tried to keep the matter quiet.
This morning Deputy Labor In
spector Arthur H. Schroeder, it was
ascertained, had heard of the .eXplo-
sion and is making an investigation
to report to the State Commissioner
of Labor Bryant.
The man most seriously injured
was Jacob Christie of 1872 Front
street The back of his neck was
burned so severely by a fash of
powder that smost of the skin pealed
off. His hair was singed by the
flame of the flash and his right hand
burned He was taken home after
being placed Under the care OF DR..
William II. Mccormick.
According to Mr. Christie the eX-
plosion occurred Just outside of the
cartridge loading plant where the
near-fatal accident occurred during
April He says that a box of loose
powder was left between the railroad
siding and the platform of the build
ing, and that as he started from the
structure shortly after 3 o'clock in
the afternoon of Wednesday of last
week, flash occurred, and he seem
ed to be surrounded by flames.
The man was partially overcome
by the fumes, and fell to the ground
with his neck, face and hands black
ened by the exploding powder. He
declares that another man, a colored
employe, was also passing at the
time, and was injured slightly, but
was able in few days to return to
work
Whether a spark from a passing
engine set the powder off or what
caused the explosion could not be
ascertained. When the works were
communicated with this morning the
NEWS was informed that nothing
would be given out unless by Cap
Thomas Doe, superintendent of the
plant who could not be located. 1t
was said that Captain Doe would not
talk of the accident.

Denial That Mediation Confer
enceS Had Reached State
Where Tentative Protocol
Had Already Been Arranged.
SITUATION IS ENCOURAGING
Effort to Get Truth Regarding
Reported Landing of NUM-
tons of War; Bryan Directs
Counsel to Investigate.
Special by United Press Wire.

Washington, May 2S:-That medi-
alton will have settled the Mexican
problem before Huerta will be in
position to use the arms and ammu-
milton landed at Puerto, Mexico, was
the position taken at the White
House today Secretary Bryan con-
ferred with President Wilson three
times during the first few hours to-
day. Afterwards denial was forth
coming that the mediation confer
ences had reached the stage where
tentative protocol had already
been arranged.
"The situation is now very en-
couraging," was the way the Presi-
dents secretary, Tumulty, put it,
''but to say that a protocol has al
ready been drawn is very prema-
ture."
On authority of Secretary Bryan
1t can be stated that the situation
involving the constitutionalists will
be cleared up within twenty-four
hours; by that time Carranza and
his followers will have decided def
nitely whether they will participate
in the mediation conference or mere
ly agree to abide by the result pro-
viding certain stipulations already
made to Bryan are carried out.
The state department today made
supreme effort to get the truth re-
garJffog the reported landing of mu-
nitions OF war at Puerto Mexico, for
: Huerta.. The department adviees
were that Ypfranga had landed rapid
firers and ammunition which were
responsible for the occupation of Vera
Cruz and an American casualty list
OF twenty-one. This was contradict
ed by the war department which in
sisted that the cargo landed was that
Of Batavia and that the Ypiranga
cargo was impact. The Bavaria has
been detained at Vera Cruz on ar
irving there without her manifest
clearance papers.
Secretary Bryan directed Consul
Canada to investigate and report at
his earliest convenience. While re-
ports were also current that today
protest had been made that the land
ing, whether both cargoes or only
one are involved, is violation of
the agreement against offensive op-
erations, it is conceded by officials
who know the fact that such protests
to the mediators from this govern
ment would be futile.
Huerta will maintain, it is said,
that these arms were for protection
against either the rebels or Zapata
and it is admittedly unaswerable
argument Meanwhile, the govern
ment declines to tell what is going
on behind the curtain of Niagara
Falls. Secretary Bryan and his chief
assistants remain very hopeful.
Bryan Is in almost continuous touch
with Carranza and although so far
he has failed to get Carranza to make
a single concession it is still believed
both Carranza and Villa will accept
the general result of mediation, when
a protocol can be agreed upon.

ISSUE WITH BUSINESS MEN
hpecidl by United Press Wire.

rpectdI Oh Uhted Press Wire,
Washington, May .2S:-President
Wilson today took issue with dele
cation of business men who declared
the agitation for antitrust legisla-
ton was causing business depres-
sion. This delegation asked the
President to agree to a postpone
ment of all antitrust legislation ex-
cept the bill creating the interstate
trades commission until after that
commission could recommend a new
set of antitrust laws that would
probably strengthen the Sherman
antitrust law.
The President refused point blank
to agree to any such plans. He also
made it very plain to the visitors
that it is his opinion that If the bust
ness men continue to oppose the
moderate amendment proposed, new
and drastic antitrust laws will be
the result, fathered by the radical
element of the United States.
The visitors had contended that
thousands of men were out of en-
ployment and that business in gener-
al was at standstill because in
vestors were fearful of risking their
money in enterprises that might be
stopped by drastic legislation. The
President directly contradicted this
In his Judgment, the President
told his visitors, nothing is more
dangerous for business than uncer-
tainty. 1t has become evident, he
said, through developments of the
last decade, that the policy such as
the Democratic party is now pursu-
ing is absolutely necessary to set
aside the conscience of the country
condition of business. 1t was a great
deal better to do this moderately
and soberly now, the President said,
than to wait until more radical
forces had accumulated and it was
made necessary to go further.
