Trenton, Sept. 16:-The Court of
Pardons in special session here yes
terday afternoon denied the appeals
for clemency of Angelo Cerceriello,
of Essex county, and Joseph 10th, of
Woodbridge, Middlesex county, both
convicted of murder and sentenced
to electrocution when reprieved by
Governor Fielder in order that the
Pardons body might have an oppor-
tunity to consider their cases. The
men, who are now in the death house
at the prison here, will both have TO
be re-sentenced.
Cerceriello was convicted of wife
murder and sought consideration at
the hands of the Court of Pardons
on the ground that false testimony
had been offered against him. 10th
has aroused sympathy because of his
youth and the fact that he is without
relatives in this country. He was
found guilty of killing his rival in
love and his case was taken up by
the Hungarian consul general in New
York City. Cerceriello was to die
originally the week of August 80 and
Toth's electrocution had been set for
the week of Sptember 7 when the
reprieve came.

REPORT NAVAL
BATTLE FOUGHT
IN BALTIC SEA
Special by United Press Wire.

London, Sept. 16.-Although 1t Is
accepted in official circles that ma
val battle has been fought in the
Baltic not a particle of information
concerning the outcome is obtainable
here. Dispatches from Petrograd
vaguely refer to the presence of the
Germans in the Gulf of Finland and
to their bombardment of "unpro-
tected positions" but they are so
badly mutilated by the censor that
their information does not enlighten
Naval experts declare that they DO
not believe the main Russian fleet
has been in action.
They declare that whatever fight
ing has taken place has probably
zen between the smaller units of the
fleet, because the main German fleet
would hardly attempt to force the
entrance of the Gulf of Finland,
which has not only been mined, but
is well protected from the land with
cross fire fortresses. All of the re-
ports received from Scandinavian
forces tell of heavy firing In the Bal
tic, but up to the present no disc
bled war craft has been reported at
any point. The fact that Berlin of
ficialiy admits part of its Baltic fleet
has been engaged is considered very
significant here as (the remainder Of
the paragraph was eliminated by cen

RUSHING To FIRE

Firemen on the Washington hose
wagon came near being overturned
when the wheels swung around from
Market street and Madison avenue,
about $50 o'clock this morning, as
the team was rushing to the scene of
the fire, which destroyed few
weather boards of two-story tene-
ment at No. 108 First street. One
of the horses of the double team pull
ing the hose wagon tripped just after
turning the corner and fell. The
animal was dragged for short dis
tance by its mate. The hose wagon
hit the curb with a severe impact,
and the vehicle nearly overturned.
This halted the wagon, and kept it
from bearing down on the fallen
horse, which was slightly bruised.
The damage to the building, which
caught from a burning ash barrel
outside, was estimated at $40. Pc
ter Nicholson occupied the section
of the building afire. The tenement
