rough for small boats to be launched,
but the Frutera stood by us all night
"At 8 o'clock on the morning Of the
9th the steamer Almirante arrived,
and both vessels sent lifeboats to the
yacht at daylight. A heavy and very
rough sea was breaking about the
Warrior. and boat from the Frutera
capsized, but all hands were saved.

turned to the yacht again at 10

elected to remain on board until a
wrecking tug arrived from Kingston.
1.-THE yacht was riding easily on
the sand bank in abiut twelve feet
of water and there is a good chance
of saving her. All praise is due to the
officers and crews Of the rescuing
steamers"

Indictments are generally type
written, but in this instance the "big
indictment" is said to be printed one
and printed in very small type at
that. The Indictment in its original
form before it was sent to the print
of the legal cap paper, which carries
about 800 words to the page. This
makes a total of about $1,000 words
in the one indictment alone, more
words by about 10000 than is contain
ed in the average size book of fiction
printed these days.

a capias out for his arrest. Told that

BRITISH COMMENT
ON MEXICO SHARP
London Newspaper Attacks DO
Nothing PoIicy"-Financiers
Want Adjustment.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The relations of
the United States with Great Britain
in regard to the Panama canal tolls;
the differences between Washington
and Toxic over the California owner
ship legislation, and President Will
sons policy toward Mexico, are the
subjects of lengthy dispatches today
from British newspaper correspond
ents in Washington, but there is a
singular lack of editorial comment on
these questions.
The Pail Mall Gazette is the only
newspaper to mention Mexico edito-
rally. 1t says; president Wilson has
laid himself open to a charge of hav-
ing chalked up no Huerta' and then
run away. 1t is a position that be-
comes worse for the prestige of the
Washington government every day on
which nothing happens"
Financiers here interested in Mex
leo are becoming impatient at the
lack of action shown by President
Wilson. A meeting of the Mexican
section of the London Chamber of
Commerce is to be called shortly to
discuss the replies to circular re-
Gently sent out 10 its members ask
ing them for their views as ito
whether it would be advisable for
Great Britain to join with France and
Germany in asking President Wilson
to take some steps to adjust the f1nan-
cial position of Mexico"
The summons sent to Sir Lionel
Garden, British minister to Mexico,
to come to London for a conference,
has created no surprise here, as 1t was
announced on January that this
would be the first step toward his
transfer to Brazil.

Rule Issued in Attack
on Sheriff's Sale of Land
in Cedar Grove as Illegal

A rule to show cause why a sale OF
land by Sheriff John f. Monahan to
Edward F. Mercy, city attorney of
Paterson, should not be set aside was
granted by Judge Harry V. Osborne in
the Court Of Common Pleas today. The
petitioner was Harry r. Mosher, of
Cedar Grove, who alleged the sale
was irregular and not in conformity
with the statute. The rule is return
able tomorrow.
Mosher in his petition, asserted that
he and his brother Levi were the
owners of land in Pompton turnpike
and Stevens avenue, Cedar Grove;
that they erected a building on the
land for which they purchased lu:n-
her from the Hamilton ] lumber Com
pany and that they refused to pay
$3.50 of the bill for $1,O26.79 because
some of the lumber was returned. The
lumber company sued in the Mont
clair District Court and entered tuds-
ment.
To satisfy the judgment the sheriff
was called upon to sell the land. He
sold 1T to Mercy. Mosh9- claimed
the sheriff or his representatives made
no effort to find other chattels that
might have been sold, but, acting
upon the Instructions Of the lumber
company. sold the land. Under Sheriff
Harvey Keough, in an affidavit at
tached to the petition, affirms this
statement.
AS a result of the proceedings
Mosher asserts he has been damaged
in the community. Mercy, as an at
torney, knew that the sale was irreg-
ular and was not acting n good faith
in buying, the petitioner charges.
Mosher AYERS that If the sale is set
aside he Is ready to pay the judgment
and the costs of the proceedings. He
is represented by Charles Mckinney.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hughes
Will Probably Be First
POlicewOman of Newark

Mrs. Elizabeth Hughes, matron of
the Fourth precinct, is likely to be-
come Newark's first policewoman.
A member of the Board of Police
Commissioners indicated today that
she will probably be detailed to the
office of Chief of Police Long for spe-
cial work of investigating.
The police board will meet today.
but whether Mrs. Hughes will be de-
tailed at the session is not known.
If the appointment is not made today,
action probably will be taken on Mon
day.
The present plans of the commits
sioners are to assign a precinct ma
tron to the chiefs Office to investigate
complaints and handle cases IN which
a woman probably can serve better
than man. The detail is likely to
be temporary, and the various police
matrons of the city probably will be
assigned to the work in turn. There
will be no increase in the regular po-
lice matron's salary of $55 a month
for the woman receiving the assign

NOT IN FAVOR Of
ALASKAN RAILROAD

the building of Federal railroad In
Alaska.
1.-The Baltimore platform said: we
recognize the value of vocational edu-
cation and urge Federal appropria-
lions for such training and extension
training in agriculture in cooperation
with the several States. No other part
of the platform recommended legisla-
ton of more value to New Jersey, but
the expense to be met in carrying
out those recommendation cannot be
drawn from the treasury after hun
dreds of millions of dollars are gone
towards railroad building in Alaska.
ut has been said that the same
platform Endorsed the project of Fed
eral railroads in Alaska, but this is
not so. The paragraph in the plat
form pertaining to Alaska reads as
follows: Imme diate action should be
taken by Congress to make available
the vast and valuable. coal deposits of
Alaska, under conditions that will be
a perfect guarantee against their
falling into the hands of monopoliz-
ing corporations, associations or in
terests,' That merely requires the
proper conservation of Alaska coal
and that conservation is already in
operation.
Party Pledged to Economy.
1.-The Democratic party is pledged
to economy in order that so much as
possible of the burden of tax shall be
taken off the shoulders of the people.
We should very carefully observe
that pledge But economy does not
mean, of course, that we should fail
to make liberal appropriations which
are sure Immediately to result in bet
tering the conditions of agriculture,
of commerce and industry, to the end
that there shall be we'll paid employ
ment for all classes of labor and q
large production of the things that
labor consumes. Nor does that econ
omy mean that we should not make
proper provisions for national de-
Tense 1t does mean, however, in my
opinion, that we should not at this
time enter upon a radical departure
from our governmental policy by
undertakings of doubtful benefit
and value in a far-away pos
session, thinly populated, and about
whose resources we have but scant
accurate information. If Alaska has
vast mineral wealth and agricultural
possessions they will be developed by
the genius and enterprise of individu-
ais, as the mineral and agricultural
wealth of Western and Pacific coast
States were developed"
