PLANS BILL TO
PUT LOBBYING OUT
OF COMMISSION
u. S. Senator Aims at Stran-
Cling System Under Weight
of Expense.
IFrom a stan Correspondence

| WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-Congres-
sional lobbying will be eliminated II
the measure goes through prepared
| by Senator Lees Overman, of North
Carolina, chairman of the so-called
lobby investigating committee.
He will introduce bill scoop so dras-
| tic that 1t may be questioned whether
under its provisions headquarters or
office could be maintained in Wash
| ington by any business organization
| interested in legislation.
| Not only will Senator Overman In
clude In his measure the features of
the Massachusetts, law requiring the
registration of legislative counsel and
agents, but he will provide for the
publication of a bulletin of commit
tee hearings.
1.-THE point Is right here" said
Senator Ovcrman, 1.-THE public have g.
right to know when hearings will be
held that they may be properly rep
resented at those hearings. They
have the right to know what class
of men are trying to influence legis-
lation In Congress and why.
ut is not improper for any person
to appear before a congressional
committee In favor Of or In opposi-
ton to a measure, but 1t Is distinct
ly improper for lobbyists to come
here In disguise.
1.-THE business of Congress is pub
lie, not private. 1t should be open
and aboveboard. 1t should be prop
erly advertised In advance and should
be conducted by men who are wear
ing the label of what they are, SO
there can be no misunderstanding"
The Overman committee will meet
next week and probably arrange to
faqfimnnV fn 10
lobby, so-called, and perhaps to the
general methods of publicity en-
ployed by professional press agents,
as many of the secretaries" of or
CARNATIONS with high sounding names
really are.
Attention may be given also to some
of the unions of government en-
ployees, who sometimes have virtual
ly inundated members of Congress
in one way or another, according to
stories told by congressman.

HAGUE, ON STAND,
BARES HIS .W|LES
Jersey City Police Head Tells
How He Hired Weber to Con-
vict Crooks.
Especial to the Newark. star. ]

JERSEY CITY, Jan. ~10.-Harry
Ascher and William Weinstein. two
of the three men on trial for attempt
at lao Newark avenue, this city, and
carrying burglars tools, were found
guilty late last night. The jury re-
tired at II o'clock last night and re-
turned their verdict shortly after
midnight. Max Meixner, the other
prisoner, was acquitted The trial of
the three men, which lasted five days,
was marked throughout by sharp con-
flicts between the five lawyers for the
defense and the prosecution.
IT had been the aim of the defense
to prove that the attempted robbery
of the store was conspiracy by the
police to trap the three men. Director
of Public Safety Frank Hague, on the
stand yesterday, testified that he had
hired "Coekeye Weber" to gain the
confidence of the men and come with
them to the city, where they were ar
rested. Mr.. Hague declared that it
was his firm intention to stop the bur-
glaries on Newark avenue. He de-
MED, however, any charges of a
frame-up or that he had abused any
of the men when trying to get them
TO confess.
Mr. Hague was badgered consider
ably by Messrs. Noonan, Doherty and
Butler for the defense, but stood up
much better under fire than they
anticipated. In his indignation, Mr..
Hague sometimes made some vigor-
Gus remarks, and was rebuked by the
court, but not more than the lawyers
who were marrying him. He was on
the stand in all nearly two hours
and to all appearances made a good
impression on the jury by his story
and his demeanor. He alleges that il
there was a frameup it was on the
! part of the lawyers for the defense
to discredit his police management.
Other witnesses during the day
| included: Lieutenant Fred Black
shaw, Lieutenant Brennan, Lieuten
ant Kelly, John Malone, Mr.. Hague!
secretary: Joseph Moore, owner o
! the Baron building that was burglar
lied last July; William Weinstein
one of the DEFENDANTS; his brother
Isidor Weinstein; Morris Dittler ant
! Jacob Greenberg, Harry Green ant
! his wife. Little new developed from
| their testimony and that little wa
| unimportant. The court finally ad
mitted as evidence the confession
made by Wenstein in which he i'm
/ plicated Ascher.
i At $3.50 last night the defense began
to sum up, and at 8 the State be
gan. Then the charge of Judge Ten
nant, as delivered an an hour after
ward the case went to the jury.

UDCE DOL AN SUSPENDS JUVENILE COURT,
DECLARING QUARTERS ARE NOT ADEQUATE

sion there with very unsatisfactory
results, the witnesses, in the majority
of instances frail women and little
children were forced to stand
in the cement fioored corridors
for the greater part of the
day. The next move was to
the law library, but here the con-
fusion caused by the other business
going on in the room, clerks and
others getting books and discussing
cases, the replacing of the volumes
and a few other distractions, inter-
fered seriously with the children's at
tention when before the court, and a
large number of the cases were post
poned.
When asked today about his action
in adjourning the court without date
of reconvening Judge Dolan was
wrathy at the apparently shabby
treatment accorded the court and it's
needs.
"I have done everything possible to
continue the court despite the obsta-
cles that have been put In the way.
1t is impossible to go on further
While we have been shifted and
trundled about from room to room the
two largest rooms In the building,
the grand jury room and the free
holders room, are practically Idle.
The grand jury does not meet until
late in the afternoon and the free
holders very seldom occupy their
quarters except In the evening, but
still we have been unable to get the
use of them"

AUTOMOBILE SHOW
IS WELL ATTENDED
Popularity Increasing-colonei
Pope Is Presented With
Clock.

= NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Another rush
was in evidence at the automobile
show at the Grand Central Palace to-
day. 1t was early evident that the
total of visitors would be a record-
breaker. The newcomers quickly
spread themselves over the four floors
devoted to the exhibition. There the
statesmen were kept busy trying to an
swer the questions that were rained
on them.
Perhaps the most surprised person
among the thousands who attended
the show yesterday was Colonel
George Pope, of the show committee
of the Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. 1t was the first appearance OF
the veteran manufacturer at the show.
He was made the recipient of hand
some clock. 1t was birthday gift by
friends, yesterday being his SEVENTEEN
anniversary.
It was a complete surprise. and
when he realized what 1t meant the
colonel was so affected that his hands
shook. The clock cost $1,000. and the
amount had been contributed by his
friends in sums of 81 each.
L yesterday WAS -hlibdly LAY at
the show, and the officers from Gov
ernor's Island and the navy yard, as
we'll as many attached to the State
service, exhibited a surprising in
terest in the exhibition. Many wis.,
itors from the Army and Navy Club
also were present.
One of the officers said that fully
80 per cent. of those on the retired
list were owners of cars, as are the
major portion of those with regular
stations In New York.
Exactly 4,125 Briscoe cars have been
sold to dealers on contract since the
opening of the New York automobile
show last Saturday afternoon.
In addition, applications for other
territories are being considered. and
some will be closed before the end of
the show. This will run the total well
over the 5000 car mark, according to
Horace De Lisser, vice-president and
general manager Of the Briscoe Motor
Company.

DR.. Charles H. Mayo IndOrses
Radinm Treatment for Cancer

NEW YORK, Jan. Endorsement
of the radium treatment for cancer,
together with the hope that it would
prove efficient, was expressed yester-
day by DIR. Charles II. Mayo, of
Rochester, MINI. DIR. Mayo was here
for the meeting of the board of re-
gents of the American College of Sur
geons.
The rodium treatment, DR.. Mayo
said, was still in an experimental
stage, and has not been tested often
enough or long enough to warrant
unqualified Endorsement. While in
hundreds of cases, he said, it had
shown favorable results, thousands
must be treated successfully before
the treatment could be pronounced
generally effective.

Miss Mabel Estelle, leading mem
Der of the Brownell-Storck stock
company, which is playing at the, Or
pheum Theatre, here, received Word
Yesterday of the death of her father,
Alexander Gysse, in Kansas City,
Mo- Bcaue of the lack of an under
study she was forced to appear at
last nights performance, but did well
despite the unusual strain.
THE message announcing the death
of Mr.. Gysse came while Miss Estelle
was on the stage at the matinee. 1t
was not delivered to her until the
close of the performance, when, in
Clifford Storck's automobile, she
was taken to her mothers home in
Hoboken Heights. There she found
her mother and sister in state of
collapse over the news of Mr.. Gysse's
death.
Miss Estelle, however, was not per-
mitted to give rein to her feelings.
There was an evening performance
to face. Her role was too important
to cut out. Miss Estelle mastered
her feelings, clamped firmly together
the lips that were so used to smiling
blithely at approving audiences,
stayed at home as long as she dared,

Ralph Wentworth, living at 251
High street, is at the Court House
today awaiting the disposition of his

later to Sergeant Oscar II. Lueddeke
of the Second precinct, who took
Wentworth to the station house and
locked him up for the night.
He was brought to the Court House
today, and after the Parisi case
had gone to the jury Judge Osborne

turned its verdict this afternoon. The

R. {. THROSSELL
NAMED SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBER
Selection by Mayor Haussling
Ends Movement to Have
Woman for Position.

| Mayor Haussling today reappointed
Nathaniel King, John Breunig and
Thomas ]. d. Smith to the Board of
Education, and announced the ap-
pointment of r. Elmer Throssen, the
latter to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Ambrose Tomkins'
which was rendered December IL.
| This disposes of the mooted ques-
ton of the naming of a woman to
the School Board this year. The
mayor concluded that he could not
see his way clear at this time to ap-
point a woman.
The mayor was obliged by law to
appoint Mr.. Tomkins's successor
within thirty days after his resigna-
ton had been accepted. While the
terms of the other commissioners do
not expire until January 81, Mayor
Haussling said he had decided to
make known all his appointments at
this time. The mayor said he would
have a statement to make later In
the day.
Mr.. Throssell is a printer employed
on the Newark Evening News and
resides In st. Paul avenue, In the
Vailsburg section. His appointment
was urged by delegation from Typ
ographical Union No. 103, that waited
on the mayor several days ago.
In making his appointments the
mayor issued statement In which
he sets forth that he was compelled
reluctantly to postpone the appoint
ment of a woman member The
mayor explains Mr.. Throssell's APP
pointment as being due the fact
that the great wage earning class,
which constitutes such an important
part of the community, has for some
time been without a member of the
board.
Anent the appointment of a woman
the mayor declares that, in order that
there may be no misunderstanding
as to his position on the matter he
will appoint a woman to the board
should another vacancy occur.
