TREACEY NEW MAN
ON UTILITY BOARD
Governor Offers Him Daniels's
Place and He Is Said to
Have Accepted.

TRENTON, Feb. lit was learned
here today that Governor Fielder has
picked John j. Treacy former mem
Der of the Assembly and former judge
of the Court of Errors and Appeals,
for the position on the Public Utility
Commission, to be left vacant soon
by the resignation of Winthrop M.
Daniels. According to information
originating from accurate sources,
Governor Fielder offered the position
to Treacy, who after a short consid-
GRAFTON informed him that he would
accept.
No definite information can yet be
had,> as the official appointment can
not be made until Mr.. Daniels re-
signs to become a member of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. His
appointment by President Wilson Is
now pending in the United States
Senate4ss-efovernor Fielder refuses to
say anything about his selection of
Treacy. ~
Mr.. Treacy acted as Governor Field
er's campaign manager during the
primary campaign and at the general
elections, and enjoyed an intimate re-
lationship with the executive. His
appointment. it is said, was favored
by former Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn
The selection of Treacy to the com
mission was said to be a recognition
of the fact that the most important
questions relating to public utilities
exist in Hudson and Essex and will
give to one of the two most populous
counties of the State a representa-
tive on the commission for the first
time
John J. Treacy is forty years old
and a lawyer in Jersey City He was
a member of the Assembly in 1902
and in 1903 and leader of the Demo-
cratic minority during the latter year
He Was active as one of the advisers
of Woodrow Wilson when the latter
was elected governor and assisted him
in the election law reforms of 1911.
In December of that year Governor
Wilson appointed him to the Court
of Errors and Appeals following the
resignation of Judge Mark, A. Sulli-
van, and nominated him again for
full term the next month. He re-
signed last year Besides being "a

CORNELIUS FORD
TYPHOID VICTIM
Public Printer and ex-Assem-
bIyman from Hudson Not Sc
riousIy III, However.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Cornelius
Ford, formerly member of the As
sembly from Hudson county in the
New Jersey Legislature, and now
public printer is i'll at the George
town Hospital with typhoid fever
Contrary to reports circulated yester-
day, following his removal to the
hospital, that he was seriously i'll, it
was learned today that his case is
not serious and that with proper care
and attention his recovery is as
sured.
Mr.. Ford became i'll about a week
ago, and at the time it was thought
malaria was the cause of the trouble
Mr. Ford has Jared somewhat SINH
larly to number of northerners who
come to Washington, where here is
much typhoid fever throughout the
year despite the efforts of public
health officials to stamp it out
A northerner who spends the sum-
mer here, if he has never had typhoid
fever before, is likely to suffer an
attack in the late fall or early win
ter.
Mr.. Ford's family is not in the least
worried about him, but it may be a
month or two. however. before he is
able to return to his official duties as
head of the government printing
office.

MARKET BOND
WRIT REFUSED
BY GUMMERE
Declares Mr.. Armitage Should
Have Taken Action Earlier if
Sale Was Unconstitutional.

Chief Justice William S. Gummere
today refused to grant writ of GER
tiorari to Franklin w. Fort. repre-
senting John L. Armitage, president
of the Woodrow Wilson League, in
which the latter sought the right to
review the action of the Common
Council of the city of Newark in SELL
ing $700,0 in market bonds to Adams
& Co., of New York, at private sale
on January 5 last.
AS soon as Chief Justice Gummere
had refused to allow the writ Mr.. Fort
announced that he would make appli-
cation to the Supreme Court within a
few days for the writ-and would urge
its issuance in the higher court.
/ Chief Justice Gummere's refusal to
grant the writ came at the end of AL
most two hours of argument between
Mr. Fort and City Attorney Herbert
Bogge. The -rsfpsal, was couched in
rather strong language
The chief justice called attention to
the fact that Mr.. Armitage had waited
until almost two months after the
first steps in connection with the bond
sale had been taken before he came
before the courts with a plea for re-
lief on the ground that his rights as
a taxpayer would be injured by the
sale of the bonds.
He further pointed out that at the
time the application for a writ of GER
tiorari was made, the sale of the bonds
had been consummated and that some
of the bonds, at least, by this time
were In the hands of innocent pur-
chasers.
should Have Taken Action Earlier.
After first dismissing the claim adj
vanced by Mr.. Fort that the act COW
ering the sale of the bonds was un-
constitutional, the chief justice con-
tinued and addressing Mr.. Fort said:
'If Mr. Armitage thought the act
under which the bonds were issued
was unconstitutional, why didn't he
come into court when the action was
started, instead of waiting for almost
two months?
.If the law is unconstitutional to-
day, it was on December l, 1913, or
during the first week of December,
when the first steps looking to the
sale of these bonds took place. What
is Mr. Arnitage's explanation of the
delay? I have heard none. So. in my
Judgment, he cannot now claim that
the law is unconstitutional.
lone reason advanced for the up
setting of this bond sale is that a
smaller amount was received at the
private. sale than would have been
received had the bonds been sold on the
bids that had been received for them.
The time to take steps to stop the
sale of the bonds by private sale was
Immediately after the resolution au-
thorizing such sale was taken early

SENATORS OPPOSE

His Appointment for Pas

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-Opposi-
tion. to the confirmation of Professor
Winthrop Moore Daniels, of New Jer-
sew. as a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. exists in the
Democratic party, as well as in the
Republican. The opposition led by
Senator Cummins and supported by
Senator LaFollette is founded upon
the attitude of Mr.. Daniels, as chair-
man of the Board of Utility Commits
sioners of New Jersey In the Pas
sale Gas Company case.
Those opposing Mr.. Daniels's con-
firmation say the commissioners
made a valuation of the concerns
nronerty. 1t set forth the valuation
of the physical property and added
thereto the valuation of franchises
and other intangible property, SO
that upon the total amount of the
valuation the rate fixed by the body
would Weld return of per cent. to
the company, not upon the capital
actually invested or represented by
stock but upon this valuation.
Had the valuation not been swelled
b,y tbe inclusion of intangible prop
ertv II is contended a much lower
charge for gas would have yielded an
2 ner cent. return on the capital. 1t
is charged that the rate finally al
lowed actually gave the company a
much larger profit than per cent.
The decision also asserted that the
company should be allowed an per
cent return upon the money ex-
pended in acquiring additional bust
ness
other opposition to both Mr.. Dan
iels and Henry Clay Hall, the other
commissioner selected by the Presi-
dent. is that they are reactionary
Democrats. While there will be some
little preliminary skirmish both men
finally will be confirmed, 1t Is believed

WIRELESS SEEKS
LOST RESCUE TUG

WASHINGTON, Feb. Wireless
calls were sputtering out from the
big navy towers at Arlington to the
fronzen fields of the New Foundland
coast searching for the tug Potomac,
lost in the ice, after an unsuccessful
attempt to rescue the crews of the
fishing schooners Hiram Lowell and
Francis Willard.
The heavy ice packs in the Bay of
Islands turned the sturdy Potomac
back from her work of rescue after
days of useless smashing at the frozen
fields that hold the Lowell and the
Willard prisoners, so she left the bay
for North Sydney Thursday night
and should have put into port yes
terday When the tug was not heard
from today navy officers said there
was no cause for alarm. but put the
wireless feeling for her. They thought
she merely had been delayed making
her way through the heavy ice in the
Straits.
The jam. however. probably will be
the salvation of the crews of the inn
prisoned fishing schooners. Officials
here are not concerned for their
safety, saying if their ships are
crushed in the pack they easily can
make their way to shore over the ice.

AWARD
ON MAYORS LAND
Citizen Voices Objection to APP
praisal in Matter of Branford
Place Extension.

Objection to the confirmation of the
award made to Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling by the assessment commissioners
for his property in Arlington street,
which will be used for the extension
of Branford place. was made in the
Circuit Court today.
Joshua Brierley, undertaken, was
the obJector. Through his counsel.
Clyde D. Souter. he declared that it
was illegal for the assessment COM
missiorers to appraise the property of
the mayor. who appointed them to
their Offices.
Because of the objection. Judge
Frederic Adams, on motion of George
Carpenter, of the city law depart
ment, postponed the confirmation of
the remaining awards against which
there are no objections. The report
of the assessment commissioners con-
tanning the awards will be submitted
to the court again next Saturday.
Although the time for filing objec-
tions had expired on January a.,
nothing was heard of Mr.. Brierley' s
protest until this morning. Mr.. Car
penter at first argued against allow
ing the objection TO stand, but Judge
Adams thought that a special order
could be made giving Mr.. Brierley
time to prepare his plaint and file it
with the court and the city attorney.
The court expressed grave doubt
that any one but those to whom the
award was made could object. He
asked Mr.. Souter for his authority
for his claim that a taxpayer could
protest. Souter pointed out that laws
passed in 1912 bearing upon the open
ing of streets, and providing for
paying the expense by the city at
large, made a taxpayer vitality in
terested.
Mr.. Souter's motion was to the ef-
feet that the assessment commission
ers be required to produce affirmative
proof that the awards made to the
mayor and to the Haussling Soda
Apparatus Manufacturing Company,
in which he is interested, are fair.
Judge Adams said he doubted that
he had the jurisdiction to act out
side of the legality of the report. In
his opinion he could not rule as to
the propriety of the assessment COM
missioners making the awards to the
person who appointed them, he stated

that should be taken before the Su-
preme Court to be reviewed on GER

for property on Arlington street The
