New Brunswick. To this end, a peti-
ton Is now In circulation among the
lawyers of Middlesex county, ad-
dressed to Governor James f. Field
er, praying that the states chief eu-
ecutlve will see wisdom and advan-
tage In appointing Mr.. Silzer to this
high position, and will accordingly
do SO. The petition In circulation
here is In charge of Russell E. Wat
son, Of New Brunswick, who was as
sistant prosecutor during the tenure
OF the late Prosecutor Theodore B.
Booraem, and who acted as prosecu-
tor after Mr.. Booraem s death, until
Mr.. Silzer was appointed. Joseph e.
Stricken, of Perth AIf1ooy, is now as
sistant prosecutor.
Prosecutor SilZer was senator
from Middlesex county until he re-
signed to accept his present posi-
tion. Although twice elected sena-
tor, the prosecutors office Is the only
one to which he ever has been ap-
pointed. Senator Silzer resides at
Metuchen, but has an extensive law
practice In this city, where he con-
ducts his offices. Mr. Silzer is now
on the high seas, or has recently
landed In Europe, where he expects
to enjoy vacation until August.
Just what his plans are, or desires,
no one knows, but it Is surmised that
he is not adverse to accepting this
lucrative post, If rendered by Gov
ernor Fielder. Several other promi-
nent state lawyers have been men
toned for the Justices chair.

COUNTY FREEHOLDERs
MAY PROBE RATES On
T0TTENv|LLE FERRY
i. S. Supreme Court Decision as
to Probes Of Rates on Ferry
Lines by FreehoIders Gjyes
Right TO Investigate Here.
ELY STARTS PROBE PROJECT

The Board of Freeholders will
Investigate the rates being charged
by the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Company on the ferry between this
city and Tottenville, If they act on
the recommendation Of Freeholder
Andrew Ely, of Dayton. Mr.. Ely
believes that charges made by the
ferry, which has no competition, ara
excessive.
Under the decision of the United
States Supreme Court upholding the
right of the Hudson County Board OF
Freeholders to fix ferry rates, Mr.,
Ely believes that the Middlesex board
has the same authority.
The decision affects every interS,
state ferry and establishes the right
of the state through the freeholders
to fix the rate of fare on ferries opersi
ating between states unless congr IS
sees fit to intervene.
The ferry rate of three cents and
five cents for round trip following
this decision will be put In effect
between Bayonne and Staten Island,
as was the original intention of the
Hudson Board of Freeholders when
they began their fight, which was
taken to the highest tribunal in the
land, in 1905. The resolution cut-
ting he rate on this ferry in half
was contested h. the Public Service
Corporation, which appeal u to =
New Jersey Supreme Court, to Tt
Court OF Errors and Appeals, and
finally to the United States Supreme
tah haI hn a
perfect right to fix rates in the
absence of action toward rate regu-
lation by the federal authorities.
1t is understood that the Staten
Island Rapid Transit is about to
reduce the rate for automobiles and
other motor vehicles on the local
ferry between here and Tottenville
and that they have already submit
ted the schedule to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for their ap-
proval. At present the rate for each
and every kind Of machine is fifty
cents, including the driver of the
car. This includes touring cars,
auto vans, auto trucks and runa-
bouts. The new schedule, it is un-
derstood, will be somewhat different
when it is put into effect about
July 1, when it is returned from the
Interstate Commission. The rate pro-
posed, it has been learned, will be
twenty-five cents for runabouts, for
ty-fve cents for touring cars and
sixty-five cents for all auto trucks,
such as moving vans, brewery trucks
and those doing a general trucking
business across the sound :
Other vehicles rates will be greatly
reduced, it is understood, when the
new schedule Is put into effect.

STILL
BLOCKS PEACE
Rebel Leader Would Not Rec
ognize Provisional President.
ecial by United Press Wire.

SpectdI 6V United Press Wire.
Washington, June IL Rumor of
dissension among the mediators at
Niagara Falls which might endanger
the final outcome, met with no re-
sponse here. The administration
continues supremely confident that
an greement Is certain along lines
limited upon by the United States.
The government insists that moth
Ing shall be done at Niagara Falls
which will give Huerta basis for
any claims that his rule as provi-
sional president has been sanctioned
by the United States. The United
States has taken this stand because
Huerta has entered into certain
agreements which this country con-
siders detrimental to Mexico City.
Carranza insists that many conces-
sions created by the dictators be an
nulled. Word was expected from
Tampico today that the cargo of
munition consigned to Carrranza had
been landed by the Antillo.

NEW GAS RATES
EFFECTIVE HERE

In the new rates effective June /,
which were voluntarily submitted to
and were recently approved by the
Public Utilities Commission, will
save the small consumer three and
one-half cents per hundred cubic
feet If the bill is paid before the
tenth Of the month succeeding that
10 which 1t is used, and one and one
half cents if payment of bill is de-
layed after that time. The larger
consumers are benefited only in that
the gross rate has been cut to $110
per 1000 Gu. foot instead of $125
as formerly. However, the days Of
grace are diminished from fifteen to
ten, and after the tenth of the sue
ceeding month when the gas is. used
no discount will be allowed. Dis
count was formerly allowed until
the fifteenth. The amount of dis
count has also been reduced from
thirty-fiVe cents to twenty cents per
thousand feet.
The new rates were brought about
by the hearing of complaints against
the gas companies supplying Eliza
beth, Metuchen and other places, and
decisions against the gas company
in Passaic, though none Is reported
to have arisen from Perth Amboy.
All the gas companies in this terri
tory having the same rates, were
served with orders to be represent
ed before the commission to show
that their rates, rules and regula-
tions were not unreasonable. The
commando rpnrpcnntad ba
Elizabethtown, Metuchen, Railway,
Crawford and Perth Amboy Gas
Light companies. After hearings,
the proceedings were dismissed when
the different companies filed with
the commission the new schedule of
rates. The saving to the consumer
by the institution of the new rates,
effective June 1, which will appear
on the bills rendered July l, may be
seen by the following:
Formerly 900 feet or over S1.25
per thousand with a discount of
thirty-five cents If bill paid within
fifteen days after same was due,
making 80 cents per thousand the
net rate. The rate for less than
1000 cubic feet to 500 feet was
s1.25 without discount; under 500
1t was so cents for each meter.
The new rate for 1000 feet is
s1.10 gross and II paid within ten
days after same is due the net rate
is 80 cents, as formerly. The ma
terial saving for the consumer by the
new rates over the old is in smaller
amounts between 600 and 1000
cubic feet. The rate for these
amounts Is now the same as for
] 900 feet or more. Less than 800
feet, however, will be charged for
at so cents net for each meter.

While an inspection of the Raritan

as yet resulted in a decision as TO
whether the local plant or the Mon

tors, visited the city yesterday and
in company with Superintendent A.
Z. Clark and General Foreman j. X.
Bryan they made thorough inspec-
tlon or the works to see what they
had. 1t is understood that a favor
able impression was gained by the
officials and that the visit will have
much to do with the decision as to
where the proposed addition shall be
made. 1t is believed that the extern
sion will be large one and that it
will give employment to many hands.
1t has been reported that it would
be as large as fair-sized plant.
1t was stated by Superintendent
Clark at the Raritan smelter this
morning that there might be extern
sions to increase the capacity of the
various departments later on, but he
declared there was a Montana plant
to be considered and no definite con-
clusion was reached because of the
inspection tour here yesterday. He
stated that there. would have to be

Carranza Still In Way of Peace.


Special by United Press Wire.
Niagara Falls, June 11.--With the
Key through the door which may
open the door for peace In Mexico
held by Carranza, the A. B. C. media
tors were still fumbling with the
latch key today, but with little ap-
parent prospects of crossing the
Threshold without the aid or appro-
val of the rebel leader. The United
States has declared that 1t does not
expect to enter into an agreement
here which the constitutionalists may
not accept. General Carranza would
not recognize a provisional president
VINO was not of strong constitu-
tionalist sympathy and a man he
could trust.
The American delegates TO the
mediation conference have let II be
known that this is the kind of men
they expect to be named for the
presidency In the peace agreement.
They are also prepared to insist upon
constltutionalist domination in the
provisional cabinet, the members of
which to share equal responsibility
with the president in the affairs
This position taken by American
delegates is made necessary on ac-
count of the non-participation of
Carranza in the conference here. A
reply from the constitutionalists is
still awaited by the medlators.
Should they finally enter the confer
ences then their representatives
might discuss the sort of men Gener-
al Carranza would accept in the gov
ernment. Until this reply is received
the present situation is waiting upon
the rebel leader in the hope that he
may be part in the proceedings and
thus avoid the necessity of the Unit
ed States making stronger represen-
tation In his behalf.
So far as he is concerned he wants
to be the first permanent constitu-
tional president of Mexico elected by
popular vote and to secure an hon
or equal to any temporary honors at
the present time. But If forced to
take Mexico City by might of arms
he will retain his present title of pro-
visional president and first chief and
also become candidate or his own
successor when the elections are or
dered.
Stories of an alliance between
Villa and Zapatas for mutual bene-
Mt" continued to be circulated here.
One report has an agreement be-
tween them to prevent any re-
taliated oblivion to shut out any di-
vision of the party that in the past
has followed history in a revolution.
1t is believed that most of these sto-
ries are based on an investigation
the state department has carried on
through consular agent, Lord Car
thurs a report made by Zapatas legal
representatives here.
