FEAR QUIBBLING
BY HUERTAMAY
END PEACE PLAN
u. S. Prepares for Conferences,
but Gets Ready for Threat
ened Crisis.
By JOHN Z. NEAIN
United Press Correspondent.

WASHINGTON. May 12-Quib-
bling and evasion by Huerta con-
tfnue and threaten TO force the
United States to change it's peace
full policy. His attitude in oitting
petty protests with the mediato-s
against the United States is regarded
as indicating that he is not s-rious
in his plans TO participate N the
mediation conferences.
While the State Department con-
tinues preparing in good faith to
participate in the Niagara Falls con-
ferences next week officials are pre-
pairing for the inevitable crisis they
fear is to be precipitated.
Following lengthy conferences of
the general staff with Secretary Gar
rison and the heads of the militia
division, it was stated today that
the entire chartered transport feet
could be loaded within weight
hours. AS a measure Of extreme pre-
caution arrangements have been
made for warship conveys should the
transports have to put to sea troop
laden.
Wilson Sees O'Shaug ghnessy.
President Wilson, back from New
York, plunged anew into the investi-
cation of the Mexico City situation.
He conferred with former Charge
Nelson O'Shaughnessy and with Sec
retary Bryan. O'Shaughnessy relat-
ed the incidents of the last few days
of his stay. He said that earlier
reports that he had received his pass
ports before Algara demanded his
from the State Department we're un-
true. The cabinet also discussed the
situation, especially the peculiar mix
I'D in the case of Consul Silliman at
Saltillo.
Although the Brazilian minister at
Mexico City has notified Secretary
Bryan that Huerta has agreed to re-
lease Silliman and transfer him at
once to the capital the administra-
tion hesitates 10 accept the word of
the Dictator. Unless Silliman per-
senally reports his own safety within
q reasonable time the United States
will take the matter up with the
mediators. The detention Of Silliman
in the earlier representations is no
breach of faith by the State Depart
.nent. The mediators have as yet re-
ceived no answer from Huerta as TO
whether he has accepted the explana-
ton of the United States regarding
the occupation of Losos. Secretary
Bryan. while refusing to make any
refusal report, today was emphatic in
| declaring Admiral Badger was ccm-
PEELED to man the light. as it had beer
1 6arkened by its Keepers. who had fec
| the island. This explanation was ao-
cepted for its face value by mediators
and Huerta SO informed.

BANKS ASK FOR
STATE CHARTERS
Five Jersey Institutions Express
Dissatisfaction of Re-
gionaI Lines.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, May Reconsider
able curiosity has been aroused as
to the identity of the five New Jer-
sey national banks, which, according
to the statement jnade by State Com
missioner of Banking and Finance
George NJ. La Monte, have applied for
a State charter. 1t is said that the
application was a result of disSatis-
faction over the placing of New Jer-
sey in the Philadelphia bank reserve
district. Commissioner La Monte
stated that three of these banks were
in this city, one in Newark and one
in Orange. The three local banks are
the First National, the Third Ma
tional and the Hudson County Ma
tional.
1t is now said that the First Ma
tional of Hoboken has also communi-
Gated on the subject with Commits
sioner La Monte and that similar ac-
tion may be taken by the Merchants
National Bank, located in the Hud-
son City section of this city.
State Comptroller Edward 1. Ed
wards, cashier of the First National
Bank, Jersey City, said this morning:
I'VE had hoped nothing would be
said in the newspapers about this
move for the present, but since some
of the facts have been given out
can see no reason why the truth
should not be known. Speaking as
a representative of the First Ma
tional, 1 asked Commissioner La
Monte If he would put anything in
our way If we decided that placing
US in the Philadelphia district had
hurt banking in Jersey City and we
decided we would relinquish our ma
tional charter and take out State
charter. He said there would
be no trouble, if we were willing to
liquidate and straighten out our af-
fairs for the change"
Nelson J. H. Edge, president of
the Hudson County National Bank,
Jersey City, said:
I'VE have not actually applied for
State charter, but there is a strong
possibility of our doing so, unless the
Federal Reserve Board, when lit or
ganizes, heeds our appeal and places
us in the New York district. The
annexing of our banks to the Phtla-
delphia district will prove a matter
of great inconvenience. I do not be-
iieve we would experience any great
difficulty in securing State charter"

FEDERAL MOVE
FOR MEDIATION
TO END STRIKES
Bill Providing for Such COM
mission to Be Presented to
Congress.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Fed
eraI Industrial Relations Commis-
sion announced today that it has
prepared tentative draft of bill
for submission to Congress creating
a national board of mediation and
Cancellation to prevent strikes and
lockouts that may involve the fed
eral government. The measure is the
result of extended Investigations of
the workings of similar boards in
the various states and foreign coun-
tries. The commission at its pubic
hearings In New York city beginning
next Monday will ask for criticisms
and suggestions on the proposed Dill.
The bill provides strictly for vol
untary conciliation, and expressly
denies to the board any compulsory
powers of arbitration or prohibition
of strikes or lockouts. In this respect
it avoids all conflict over any ques-
ton of State or interstate jurisdic-
ton.
The commission points out that
within the past year Congress has
investigated strikes in West Virginia,
Michigan and Colorado, and that in
the latter State federal troops were
called in. All of those strikes in
volved interstate shipment of gunmen
and strikebreakers.
A precedent for a national board is
found in the. anthracite coal strike
commission of 1902, which settled the
great strike in Pennsylvania. 1t Is
asserted that all efforts at concilia-
ton in recent strikes have failed, and
that if the federal government is
compelled to intervene after matters
have reached a crisis, it is advisable
that the government should have
permanent board. representing the
entire nation and having the con-
'fdence of both employers and en-
ployes, to intervene at the very in
ception of such disputes.
The bill is modelled somewhat after
the act creating the present board
of conciliation and mediation for
dealing with disputes on railways.
An important feature is the plan
for cooperation with State boards of
media tion for united action whenever
dispute extends beyond the limits
of a State.

ton of Becker by Whitley
Lewis.
Especial to the Evening star.I


NEW YORK, May 12.-"Bald jack
Rose, star witness for the State in its
efforts to send Charles Becker, former
police lieutenant, to the electric chair
for plotting the murder of Gambler
Herman Rosenthal, took the stand to-
day shortly before noon. Bald as an
egg, Rose presented a picture. Heavy
rings circled his dark eyes as he
leaned forward in the witness chair
answering in a low voice the ques-
tions preliminary to the whole disclo-
sure of what he alleges was Becker 8
murder plot.
Becker leaned forward in his chair,
anxious to take the stand, and showed
as the lines deepened in his face that
he realized the climax of his case was
hear. Led by District-Attorney Whit
man, Rose began the original story
of negotiations with Becker, the char
ecter of the tenderloin, and how
Becker wanted Rosenthal killed be-
cause his "squeals' to whitman les
sened Becker's safety.
Chauffeur Names Becker.
Immediately before Rose took the
stand William Shapiro. driver of the
gray murder car" from which the
four gunmen leaped to kill Rosenthal,
told his story. Briefly he went over
the facts of the tragedy. His i'm
portant testimony, however, related
to a conversation between the gum
men as they neared the scene of the
murder
Shapiro said: Il heard one Of the
boys say, l think it was Waitey
Lewis, these words: Have the chaua-
feur turn his car around and wait
The cops are all fixed. Becker fixed
'em. Every thing is all right"
Martin T. Manton. Becker's chief
counsel fought hard against tns in
PRODUCTION of Becker's name. His
efforts were of no avail. Justice Sea-
bury allowed the witnesses statement
to go on record and Becker had lost
his first point.

 There are many things used as an tennae to catch the mysterious cleo tric waves which carry our wireless messages through space, and I find that the springs of my bed serve as very efficient antennae My room is on the second story of my house, and by using these springs as antenane every night by the wireless station at Sayville, l.. l., although they are not by any means so loud as when | use my o.tdoor antennae, which are 40 feet above ground, 60 feet long and consists of four wires on spreaders, the wires being two feet apart
 The bedspring antennae are best for use with nearby high power sta tions. Sayville, l.. |, is about fifty miles from Peekskill. With my out door antennae I continually hear the Arlington (Va) naval station when 1t sends out the correct time signals at 11:55 a. m. and at 9: 55 D. m; also the weather reports, Brooklyn navy yard; New London, Conn.,: Cape Cod and others including amateur stations too numerous to mention.
