WANTS SCHOOL LOT
Thomas Declares Township
Building Abandoned.

To obtain possession of one of New
Garden townships old district school
houses and the ground upon which it
is located, Stephen Thomas has filed
quiet title petition in circuit court
against the township and school town
ship. The school house was abandon
edeight or ten years ago because there
was a daily attendance of less than
twelve. Seven years ago Judge Fox
held that the school was only tempo
rarily abandoned. Thomas believes he
can show now that the neighborhood
cannot furnish enough children to keep
up the minimum daily attendance of
twelve, since last year a petition of the
citizens of the district to have the
school re-opened failed to show the
properly number of pupils, and was re-
fused. Thomas holds a deed for the
ground by which it reverts to him
when it ceases to be used as school
ground.

HUERTES ELECTION
CHAGR|NS OFFICIALS

WASHINGTON, July 6.-News of
the victory at the polls of President
Huerta of Mexico, caused much cha
grin in official circles in the capital to-
day. There was not SO much disap-
pointment over the election of Huerta
as in the fact that he permitted his
name to be used in the balloting.
In view of Huerta's proffer to resign
from the presidency, the administra-
ton believes that he would lay before
the people the name of Pedro Lascu-
rain whom the mediators had recon-
mended as the logical compromise pro-
visional president. 1t was expected
that Huerta would then lend his sup
port to Lascurain, and after the cleo
ton of his candidate would step down.
Now it is believed the dictator will
use the vote of confidence" he re-
ceived as an argument against his re-
tirement and will make few If any
concession to the Constitutionalists.

BENO|T OPPOSED
FOR POSTMASTER
Confirmation of Edgewater
Man Held Up by Sem
ator MARITIME.
IFrom a stnn Corresnondent.l

WASHINGTON, April 14-Repre-
sentative Archibald c. Hart appears
TO be unfortunate in his selection of
postmasters. This time it is the post
mastership of Edgewater, n. j., that
is in question. He named for that
office Emory Benoit, of that place,
and the selection is to be held up in
the Senate pend ng an investigation.
The request for holding up the con-
firma ton of Benoit came through a
letter of protest received by Senator
Knute Nelson from a New York
banker who makes his home at Edge
water.
The banker is a personal friend of
the Minnesota senator and the latter
turned the epistle over to Senator
MARITIME with the request that it be
given the consideration 1t deserves.
According to the rule of senatorial
courtesy the senior New Jersey sena-
tor will hold up Mr.. Benoit's con-
frmation.
1t is alleged that more than three
quarters of the citizens of Edge
water, including Democrats and Re-
publicans, signed petitions asking
for the appointment of M. A. Nc
Garry for the office of postmaster.
McGarry Is assistant postmaster of
the place and has served satisfac-
torily in that position for eight years.
Those who Endorsed him for the place
contend that he is deserving of pro-
motion because of his fidelity and eff
fic.ency.
Representative Hart has had OPP
position in his selection of postmas-
tiers for Hackensack, and later on he
sent in the name of Joseph Firth for
postmaster of Phillipsburg The pro-
test from that town was so strong
that Postmaster Burleson refused to
send in that name for confirmati ton.

FEW PROMINENT ENGLlSHMEN
 AMONG THE PASSENGERS
Calamity Not Felt So AeuteIy in Lon
 don as Loss of Titanic. Was.

London. May 2e.-The full magni- tude of the disaster to the Empress of Ireland was understood by the Eng fish public only late tonight. The day was one of suspense and eagerness for news throughout the kingdom, while conflicting bulletins succeeded one an- other from early morning to evening. The papers and the public were dis posed to place faith in the most hope full reports
 The last regular editions of tho eve ming papers, which were distributed among the homes, contained the re- port that many had been saved Ex- tras were Issued later with the state ment that 'the chief Marconi oper- ator of the Empress of Ireland has wired from Father Point that a thou sand people have been drowned"
 The worst fears were confirmed by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy's statement in the extras, which reached the the atreeoers as they emerged from the places of amusement. that the catas- trophe was the most serious in the history of the St. Lawrence route.
 The calamity did not come home to Londoners nearly so acute as the loss of the Titanic, because comparatively few prominent English people were among the passengers. Sir Henry Se- ton-Karr and Laurence Irving were the enly persons aboard whose names were well known here. Most of the other English passengers in the first cabin were business men from provin- cial cities.

day when Juan F. Urquidi, a repre- sentative of General Carranza, laid be- fore the South American envoys q note expressing surprise that the Mexican negotiations were continuing with the constitutionalists unrepres- sented.
 After the long debate the mediators decided not to permit Urquidi to pre- sent the communication from his chief. Then. after Q conference with the American delegates, the mediators ad- mitted the Carranza emissafy.
 Urouidi remained with the media tors only a few minutes. He left the note and expressed the appreciation of his superiors that so active an interest had been taken by the three diplomats in averting a war. Urquidi was asked not to disclose the contents of the note The following statement was then issued by the envoys:
 The mediatorS have received a com- munication from a representative of General Cafranza in Washington, the tenor of which differs entirely from the version contained in a news despatch this morning from Durango and does not disturb the course of the negotia- tions.
 Whether answer will be made to Gen eral Carranza or his representative in Washington is not known outside the diplomatic tribunal The mediators refused to answer any questions on the subject Some of the attaches, how ever, reiterated that the proceedings could be reopened with a constitution alist present only if General Carranr ga agreed to a suspension of hostili- ties as originally demanded by the three South American envoys.
