Conference ON Trolley
Transfer Agreement Is
Delayed Until Wednesday

The conference on the trolley trans
fer agreement scheduled for today be-
tween the Public Service Corporation
representatives and the Board of
Works Commissioners was postponed
until Wednesday because of the ILL
ness of Thomas N. McCarter, presi-
dent of the corporation, and L. D.
Howard Gilmour, the corporation
counsel.
An agreement between the corpora
ton and the commissioners has been
practically reached. Representatives
of the Public Service Company have
submitted a verbal proposition to the
commissioners. This Is satisfactory,
but the commissioners want the sug-
gestions in writing. The letter has
been prepared, but has not yet been
signed by President McCarter. The
conference today was postponed pend
ing the signing of the letter.
The company has agreed to issue
transfers on transfer on the Bergen,
Clifton and Kinney street car lines.
In return, however, the company de-
mands protection from the practise
of looping" which is now prevalent.
This consists in riding from one point
to another and return on one fare.
The return trip is made on a car line
running parallel or crossing the car
line first used

CUT WITH RATCHET,
DIES IN HOSPITAL
John Moore Faces Murder
Charge-Struck Man Who
Defended Daughter.

AS a result OF the death in the City
Hospital today of Walter Tompkins,
seventy-flve years old, of IS Liberty
street, John Moore, of the same adj
dress, who pleaded guilty to a charge
of atrocious assault before Judge Har-
ry v. Osborne on Saturday, probably
will be put on trial for murder.
County Physician Mckenzie will
perform an autopsy on Tompkins's
body today, and If he finds Tompkins
died as the result of a blow from a
hatchet, which Moore admitted strik-
ing him with in their home on Janu-
airy Is, a charge of murder will be
made.
Moore lived with Tompkins and his
daughter. On January Is, 1t is said,
Moore came home and attempted to
assault Tompkins's daughter. The
father entered and put Moore out of
the house.
Later, it is said, Moore returned.
and when he met Tompkins attacked
him. In the course of the fight that
followed, Moore struck the older man
with the side of lather's hatchet and
Tompkins fell to the floor unconscious.
Tompkins was taken to the City
Hospital, where physicians first said
he was suffering from a fractured
skull Later this proved not to be so
and Tompkins seemed to be improv-
ing. Saturday, however, he took turn
for the worse and died today.
Moore, who was arrested by Detec-
tives O'Gara and Corbitt, pleaded
guilty when he was arraigned before
Judge Osborne for atrocious assault.

TEACHERS

Want Minimum Wage of $500
a Year-Tie Up Hereford
System.

LONDON, Feb. "A strike of
school teachers, the first of its kind
in the British Isles, was in full swing
in the county of Hereford today.
Eighty out of the 100 elementary
schools under the Jurisdiction of the
County Council were closed The
teachers declare that they will remain
out until they gain their demands,
which are for a minimum salary of
$500 per annum, an increase of $50.
Sir James Rankin, chairman of the
county education department, has de-
clared policy of mo surrender"
The National Union of Teachers
has guaranteed its members who
have gone on strike their full salary
for a period of five years, and the de-
termination of the teachers has been
greatly strengthened by this action.
Many thousands of children stayed
away from school today with the
prospect before them of a prolonged
vacation.
In the meantime the teachers have
adopted the most modern strike meth
DDS at the few schools where the
head masters, aided by the members
of their families, attempted to con-
tinue the school work. Pickets were
posted today and the substitute teach
ers appointed by the education au-
thorities were either persuaded OF CO.
creed into refrainfng from taking the
places of the strikers.

TRY TOAPPEASE
ULSTER LEADERS
Conference With Asquith Today
Designed to Avert Civil
War in ireland. ).

LONDON, Feb. 2.--John e. Red
mond, the Irish Nationalist leader,
and Augustine Birrel1, chief secre-
tary of Ireland, were closeted with
Premier Asquith at his official resi-
dence' in Downing street.. this after
noon, and 1t was understood that the
government had determined to make
another effort to coinciliate Ulster be-
fore the heated debates in Parliament
fan into flame the admittedly dam
gerous situation In the northern prov
ince of Ireland.
1t is generally thought that Mr..
Redmond holds the key to the posi-
ton and 1t Is pointed out in some
quarters that IL he is willing to go to
the same lengths as Premier Asquith
and the members of his cabinet are
ready to advance in order to placate
the North of Ireland, the threats of
civil war in that country can be
averted.
Unionists say they would not be
surprised to see Premier Asquith rid
ing for a fall before the home rule bill
is again reached, in case the irish
leader should refuse to make the con-
cessions considered necessary by
them. They say that If Mr. Redmond
should agree to the exclusion of
Ulster, even for specified term of
years, an agreement might be
reached.

KEEPER ON TRIAL IN
ALMSHOUSE DEATH.
Thomas LayIand Charged With
Being Slayer of Charles
Warriner, an Inmate.

Thomas Layland, formerly keeper
at the City Almshouse on Elizabeth
avenue. is on trial in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer before Judge
Harry V. Osborne on a charge of
manslaughter arising out OF the death
Of Charles Warmer. an aged inmate
of the home, on October IS last.
In opening the case for the State
today Assistant Prosecutor Andrew
Van Blarcom said he would show that
on the night in question Layland
came on duty at the almshouse In an
intoxicated condition, and that when
Warmer, who was eighty-four years
old and bedridden, began to moan
told him to keep quiet and then be-
gan to beat him.
Later Layland took Warmer to a
closet, and other inmates heard him
first being beaten and then heard him
fall to the floor He was found dead
in bed the next morning with his
neck broken.
County Physician William H. Nc
KenZie, the first witness called, said
that WARMERS body showed the
marks of numerous bruises, evidently
inflicted with fat stick or instru-
ment. There were fully twenty-five
bruises on all parts of the body, the
doctor testified.
The immediate cause Of death, he
said. was the breaking of the sixth
vertabrae in the spinal column, this
vertabrae being located in the back
of the neck.

MACHINE /
TO CLEAN BLOOD
New Apparatus Working on
Principle of Human Kidney
Purifies 1t.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2.-The "arttfi-
ciai kidney" cylindrical case Of
tubes by which blood from a living
animals body can be taken out, puri-
fed and replaced, Is one of the most
interesting and medically important
experiments being made by physi-
clans at the Johns Hopkins Medical
School
Drs. John ]. Abel, Leonard @.
Rowntree and Benjamin B. Turner
have been working with the kidney"
for more than year, and 1t has been
SO successful in operations on rabbits
and dogs that they are now studying
the possibility OF applying 1t to hu-
man beings.
In function the machine. for it has
yet been given no other name, is
similar to the human kidney. It Is a
small glass cylinder enclosing a large
number of membraneous tubes
through which the blood courses. The
the outer cylinder is q solution which
attracts the "undesirable' elements
of the blood, which, after 1t has made
the circuit of the tubes, is again
passed into the animal body
Cleaned"
The three doctors whose work has
perfected the artificial kidney" are
not anxious that description should
be of sensational nature" They
have used the machine successfully
on animals weighing nearly forty or
fifty pounds and have cleaned. the
blood of dogs and rabbits while un-
der anaesthetic without the slightest
injury. The process closely follows
the natural action of healthy kidneys.
They have not claimed any other
merit for the apparatus.
1t Is easily conceivable that if the
kidney" so closely resembles the Iiv-
ing one 1t may perhaps be applied,
after further improvements, to the
human body. The investigators, how
ever, have not yet put up an appa-
ratus large enough for this purpose.
In specially equipped room In the
archaeological laboratory of the
medical school the three doctors have
devoted as much of their free time"
as possible to the apparatus and its
development Even the crude model
which was first made and which had
only four tubes was reported to have
been successful. Many others have
been made, and the latest is a maze
of tubes enclosed in an outer glass re-
ceptacle. The larger number of tubes
give the maximum diffusing surface.
All of these tubes are Joined at their
ends to each other, but special care
had to be taken to avoid sharp angles
and sudden bends. so that the blood
running through them would flow
uniformly
The artificial kidney" has q receiv-
ing tube at one end and a returning
tube at the other It Is filled with a
normal saline solution" and then at
tached to a tapped artery. The blood
flowing in after the artery has been
tapped forces the saline solution back
into the body to replace the blood
flowing out.

TESTS FOR FIRE
FIGHTERS DELAYED
Civil Service Commission Failed
to Notify Chief Moore.
Set for Feb. II.

An unexpected hitch in plans OF
the State Civil Service Commission,
as 1t relates to the Newark fire de-
partment, occurred this morning. It
appears that about sixty members of
the department, including officers
and men, who took the recent COM
petitive examination for promotion,
received written notices a few days
ago to appear at the City Hall this
morning to be finally examined as to
height and other measurements.
But no official notice had been
served on Chief Engineer Paul ].
Moore of the arrangement This
would be necessary to enable the
chief to provide equalizing details TO
keep the forces of companies af-
fected by the temporary withdrawal
of such a large number OF men up to
a working quota. It would also be
in keeping with an understanding ar
rived at by the chief and Commits
sioner Alexander r. Fordyce and
Secretary Gardner Colby that when
examinations of firemen were to be
held the chief would be given ample
notice as to time and place, so that
he could plan accordingly,
The notice was not forthcoming In
this instance, however, and, when
Chief Moore explained that he could
not agree to deplete the fighting
forces of the department, or possibly
make arrangements that would insure
protection to the citizens under the
circumstances, CommissionAr For
dyce Immediately declared that the
chief was perfectly right in his stand.
The fault rested with the Trenton
office, the commissioner stated, as 1t
was directed that notice of the pro-
posed examination of the flremen be
forwarded to Chief Moore well In adj
vance. This plan had been followed
on other occasions, and, Mr.. Fordyce
added, was the only proper way to
proceed.
1.-THE Civil Service Commission Will
not be a party to hampering this
great fire department in the slightest
degree" the commissioner conclud-
ed. 81 appreciate the situation.
Chief Moore is perfectly right"
In the list of men who were to be
examined today were as many as
five from a single company.
To shift and arrange details 30 that
at no time would any company have
less than five men in quarters at any
hour requires considerable thought
and planning. The work could not
be done on a few hours notice.
1t was arranged to hold the exami-
nations on February II, this date
being satisfactory to all concerned.

AGREED TO GUST
PASTOR BARKER
:. E. Divine Declares C0nsis.
tory Made No Agreement
With Reformed Chassis.

A fiat denial of the alleged agree
ment between the Chassis OF the Re-
formed churchh and the consistory
Of Christ Reformed church, Wood
aide. by which the latter body is
opposed to have agreed to dismiss
It's pastor, Rev. Percival Fl. Barker,
was made today by C. e. Divine. a
member of the consistory.
When informed that the Chassis
was reported as having bound the
consistory to a promise to relinquish
It's pastor, upon certain conditions,
Mr.. Divine said:
f"I was present at that meeting be-
tween the Chassis and the consistory
last December. We members of the
ronsistory did not make any such
promise. am positive Of that.
1.-THE proposition. or suggestion,
tbat the consistory dismiss Mr.. Bar
Ixer on February 1, II he did not pre-
sent proper credentials by that time,
came from the Chassis and not from
the consistory.
1--WE heard the proposition but did
not accept il. Neither did we reject
III. / guess you can best express our
attitude at that time by saying we
sat tight and said nothing. Mr..
5tringer, the clerk of the consistory,
was also present, and his record OF
our actions at that meeting are on
file, believe"
Until the present time the rela-
lions between the consistory of the
sWoodside church and the governing
body of the Dutch Reformed Church
! here have been regarded as amicable.
Several members of Christ Church
scongregation, which body is almost
unanimously in sympathy with Mr..
Barker, today intimated that a crisis
was at hand.
on February ID next the Chassis will
l1oid a special meeting to deal with
the Barker controversy. 1t is under
stood that the Chassis will then assert
its authority and demand that Mr..
Barker be dropped because of his
Inability to present proper credentials
from his former superiors, the mem
bers of the Neosho Presbytery. Mr..
Barker was connected with a Pres
.byterian Church at Coffeyville, Kan,
before he assumed his present charge
ID Newark
The members of the consistory who
could be seen today announced that
their intention of retaining Mr.. Bar
ker has not been changed In the
slightest. Yesterday being the first
OF the month. the day on which the
pastor was scheduled to be dropped,
Mr.. Barker preached at both the
morning and evening services. Both
services we're well attended. When
the pastor announced he would preach
on Three Men Under One Hat" next
Sunday 1t was seen that evidently he
mad no intention of stepping down of
his own accord. Three members of
the Chassis are said to be leading the
movement to depose Mr.. Barker.
Mr.. Barker refused to comment on
ne situation today.

Think Wilson VIII Suggest
Modified Literacy Test in
New immigration Measure

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-President
Wilson regards 1t as universally
agreed that there should be some re-
strictions to prevent what Is known
as assisted immigration" He has
not yet announced his position on the
literacy test feature of pending i'm
migration bills, and indicated today
that he would not do so until con-
suited by leaders in Congress. The
Senate immigration committee has
announced that 1t will seek the Pres
ident's advice in the matter.
The President has been giving au-
dience of late to many interested in
that phase of immigration legislation
and there is said to be some ground
for the belief that he may suggest
certain notifications In the literacy
test, as now proposed.
Rev. Sidney L. Quick, lecturer at
the Imperial University of Japan,
discussed immigration today with the
President.
His suggestion that by a rate Of s
per cent. and under 100000 Germans
could be admitted, although only H.
1888 came in 1912; $685. English,
whereas only 82,979 came in 1912;
italian immigrants would be reduced
from 157, 134, who came in 1912, to a
possible maximum of 54,S50. The same
rate would admit only 220 Japanese
and 1888 Chinese immigrants.
Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment of labor, informed Congress to-
day that he was not opposed to the
principle of the literacy test. He rec
commended making the immigration
bill more drastic in several particu-
lars, especially in regard to white
slavery" and that skilled laborers
imported under contract, as we'll as
unskilled 1aborers, be barred. Pro-
vision to bar aliens who have COM
mitted crime or misdemeanor in
volving moral turpitude, whether
convicted or not, and to deport aliens
committing crimes in this country,
also was asked.
