GRAFT HUNT NOW
SHIFTS TO ALBANY
District Attorney There May
Ask BenseI's Indictment,
Is the Report.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Tre refusal
of John A. Bensel, State engineer, to
waive immunity as witness before
the special graft grand jury has
temporarily halted District-Attorney
Whitmans investigation. At the same
time word comes from Albany that
the district-attorney there will ask
the indictment of Bensel and others
in connection with the highways re-
pair contract scandal.
Mr.. Bensel was to have been ques
toned here as to his actions while
on the local water supply board, and
especially as to his knowledge of the
aqueduct contract which was let to a
Pittsburgh contractor after he had
put $44, $50 in the hands of a stake
holder ''for Mr.. Gaffney."
Mr. Whitman was OF prepared to-
day to announce what his next step
in the graft inquiry will be, but he
is certain there will be no immunity
hath given.
Mr.. Bensel was expected to go be-
fore the grand ury yesterday. In the
morning he went to the diStriet-attor-
ney's office, unaccompanied by coun-
sell He had signed waiver of i'm
munity in December with other mem
bers of the canal board, but made It
known that he did not want this
waiver to apply to further testimony.
Mr.. Whitman told him to think it
over. In the afternoon he returned
with Abraham Rose, his attorney, and
they lost no time in making it known
there would be no further waving of
immunity and that Mr.. Bensel with
drew the former waiver.
Mr.. BenSePs lawyer and the dis
trict-attorney had a lively contro-
versy, but the State engineer was not
to be shaken in his determination. 1t
was the first time a State officer has
refused to waive immunity in the
graft inquiry and Mr.. Whitman was
astonished.
Mr.. Bensers refusal is temporary
obstacle in the grand jury investiga-
ton of State highway, barge canal
and aqueduct graft.
The only comment Mr.. Whitman
would make was that he was amazed
at Mr.. BensePs action and thought it
strange thing for high State Off
cial to do. He regarded it as virtu-
ally obstructing the course of Justice
too" He continued
IF he is guilty of a crime he GER
| tainly should not be called upon To
sign away the right to defend him.

of immunity would amount to. If he
is not guilty of a crime then a waiver
| is unnecessary. In either event he
should not be called upon to make
himself resistless to any turn of for.

WEST ORANGE IN
DANGER OF FIRE
Water Hydrants Buried in
Snow-Warning Given to
CounciImen.

The fact that many fire hydrants
in West Orange are completely buried
under the snow prompted Councilman
julius Weigel chairman of the towns
fire commit tee, to call the attention
of his colleagues in the Town Coun-
Gil last night to the great danger
from fire that the mountain suburb
was exposed to. He said that in case
of fire the fremen would be greatly
hampered in their work because of
inability to reach the water.
His announcement of the condi-
tons put the officials on the anxious
seat and they Immediately instructed
the fire committee, of which Mr..
Weigel Is chairman, to act quickly
in ending the danger. Mr.. Weigel de-
plored the fact that there is no one
apparently on whom blame can be
placed for the existing conditions.
He said the West Orange Water
Company disavows responsibility of
removing the snow from the n.y.
drants, though II has the contract
for supplying the water to the mu-
nicipality.
Comparing the conditions to those
which exist in New York because
there is danger of serious fires get
ting beyond the control of the fire.
men of the city due to the fact that
many MIGRANTS are snow covered,
Councilman Daniel Gillum insisted
that immediate action was impera-
tive TO end the danger in the noun
tain town. Mr.. Gillum regretted also
that there was not some one who is
responsible for the removal of the
snow, and he advised that Town At
torney Simeon Robinson be instruct
ed to determine the question at a
meeting with the fire committee.
This is a serious problem said Mr..
Gillum, land something must be done
and done quickly to lessen the dan
ger"
Mr.. Weigel said that In other years
a former superintendent of the water
always consented to remove
the snow from the MIGRANTS, but that
the present man in that capacity
maintains that the firm cannot be
to do the work.
I'VE cannot have the firemen do the

is scarcely enough of them to attend
to the apparatus"
Complaint that the Public Service is

man of the street committee. He de-
clared that the snow from the tracks

use the thoroughfare at certain points.
Clerk George W. Foster was instruct

Of the traction company and inform
them the Council desires that the

Will Readvertise for Bids
for Town Hall Furniture

After two hours elaboration last
night the Bellevlle Town Council at
a special meeting decided to readver-
tise for bids for furnishing the in
terror of the new town hall. This is
the second time that the council has
taken steps in this direction. Last
years administration awarded the
contract to j. B. Wood Company, of
this city, who asked to be released
from the contract, when the Baker
Printing Company, of this city, con-
tested the award.
With a view to economizing the
council held several meetings to con-
slider the advisability of purchasing
furniture in bulks of less than $500.
Possible legal proceedings and the
expense of advertising could be avoid
ed, it was thought, while,- also, the
council would not be confined to pur-
chasing from any one company. The
matter was not considered plausible,
however, in as much as too much
time would be required before the
purchase would be completed. The
bids will be reviewed by the council
March 10.
Mayor John C. La Faucherie and
Charles Granville Jones, architect of
the building, will confer today on the
kind and size of the furniture devised.

To Renew Complexion
Without Cosmetics
(From the Dermatologist.)

If the excessive user of cosmetics only
knew the impression her artifciality
really makes UPON others, she would
quickly-seek means of gaining natural
complexion. Let her acquire the mer-
colized wax habit, describing makeups
entirely, and she will soon have the kind
of complexion that women envy and men
admire. It's so easy to get an ounce of
mercolized wax at any drug store use
nightly like cold cream and wash 1t off
mornings And the results are so re-
markable. Gradually the lifeless cuticle
peels off, in almost invisible haky par
ticles. In a week or so there's a brand
new complexion, clear, Velvety soft, of
girlish color and texture The treatment
Is so simple, harmless and marvelously
effective, the wonder is that every woman
whose skin Is withered, discolored, rough,
chapped, freckled or pimpled, has not
already adopted it.
Let wrinkled women quit pastes and
massage creams which mar the skin still
more and try this more sensible treat
ment: Dissolve OF. powdered saxolite
In n pint witch hazel; use as a face bath
Every line will quickly disappear

TO FIX CITIES FOR
RESERVE DISTRICTS
Bank Organization Men Return
from Tour and Will Out
line Plans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-With the
return of the reserve bank organiza-
ton committee today active work be-
gan upon the definition of the geo.
graphical limits of the reserve dis
tricts and the selection of cities for
reserve banks. Under the law ma
tional banks required to enter the
system or eventually give up their
charters, have until February 22 to
signify their intention to become
members. Although only 300 national
banks of the $500 remained today on
the list of those which had not taken
such action, 1t was understood that
the committee would withhold an
nouncement of cities and districts I'M
til the time limit expires.
Although the committees trip
through the country may have
changed its opinion of the proper To-
cation of several banks, it is not
doubted here that banks will be
placed in New York, Chicago and st.
Louis, central reserve cities in the
present national bank system. The
location of the others was still re-
garded today as an open question.
While the committee is working out
that problem its members will con-
suit with President Wilson about the
makeup of the Federal reserve, the
organization which is to govern the
new system.
The personnel of this board is of
great interest in banking circles, and
it is known that President Wilson
has examined all names suggested
with the closest scrutiny. Five per-
sons are to be chosen by the Presi-
dent before the board lis completed,
but it is understood that the names
will be sent to the Senate for con-
firmation at the same time.
