pany Asks For.

As reply to another statement is
sued by the A. D.. L, the Board Of
Fire Commissioners, at an informal
session last night, closed the con-
troversy, as far as they are con-
eerned, by stating that the board did
not feel that 1t had the legal right
to again connect the A. y. Il. sys-
ten and thereby placing the stamp
OF approval upon a doubtful propo-
sitiou. The hearing was held at City
Hall. About forty of the \ ID. I.

verbal tilts resulted in President
Weber. on motion of Commissioner
Stratton, declaring the session ad-
journed.
According to the commissioners,
the fight, If it is to be one should be
conducted on other lines. This con-
elusion followed an apology to the
commissioners for the manner in
which a. T. Benedict, general coun-
sci for the concern. conducted the
matter. w. f. Burleigh, of the
Murphy Varnish Company. in q
statement TO Commissioner Stratton,
said:
MT Commissioner, | want to apol-
ogize to you and your associates for
the way this fight has been conduct
ed. Mr.. Benedict has made big
mistake. We know we have not one
legal right upon which to force your
honorable board to again connect our
system. We throw ourselves on
your mercy. knowing full well that
you will do all in your power to pro-
tect us
Mr.. Burleigh was aided in his apol-
ogies by L. a. Sayre, who at the
former meeting was the one who in
sinuated that graft" and politics
were being played in the seVering of
the system. From the opinions of
several in the room it is evident that
they realize that the board is power
less to act further in the matter
Following the declaration of the
commissioners that the matter was
out of their power, the manufacture
ers said that they will appoint a
committee to wait on Mayor Jacob
Haussling.
Mr.. Commissioners, we have been
before this board several times and
yet you have not made one proposi-
ton to us. Now we have advanced
our schemes in the pamphlet issued
tonight" said Mr.. Benedict, general
counsel for the company.

OSBORNE SETTLES
WITH BELLEV|LLE
Former Collector Turns Over
$4,000 Cash and $4,000
Bond for Shortage.

Former Tax Collector A. Howard
Osborne who was found short In ac-
counts, made q settlement with the
Belleville Town Council when he
turned over $4,000 In cash and a
bond for 1000. 4 resolution intro
duced by Councilman e. o. Cyphers
was unanimously adopted expressing
the belief that the shortage was the
result of carelessness in handling the
money rather than any intent on Mr..
osDorne's part to defraud the town.
AT the suggestion of former Town
Attorney John De Graw, who acted
for the town. the council passed a
resolution modifying the agreement
made on March wherein Mr.. Os-
borne agreed to pay $4,000 within a
weeks time in settlement of all
claims which the town had against
him.
Mr.. Osborne is at present under
500, 900 bonds awaiting the action Of
the April term of court on three spe-
cific indictments aggregating $4,000,
the result of an audit of his books
after he was defeated for the nomi-
nation of collector three years ago.
The original claim against Osborne
amounted to between $3S, 900 and $780, =

for shortages in the sidewalk and

old pastor Of the Washington Heights
Methodist Church and formerly head
of the Ocean Grove. N j., Methodist
Seminary. was found guilty by the
select committee of the New York
Annual Conference yesterday of I'm
prudent and unministerial conduct.
The pastor was unanimously ac-
quilted on the two more serious
charges made against him-indulging

ductine himself in violation of the
moral law.
DR. Prices punishment was a public
admonislment, read by Bishop Lu-
ther 3. Wilson before the conference.

called for another year of service.
After a consultation between DR..
Price, his son Carl and Rev. r. w.
Keeler. the following statement was
issued by Carl Price:
None of the stories Of the wit
nesses that have been printed in the
press was given out by the court or
the defense. Moreover, many of these
stories were never testified to in the
trial room.

Dr. Frank l.. Wilson, chairman of

Cure tuberculosis by
Electric Light Treatment

LONDON, April s--Dr Reyn. head
of the Finsen Light Institute has
made interesting experiments in the
treatment of patients suffering from
surgical tuberculosis, says the Copen-
hagen correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph Electric light was used in
cases which had hitherto required the
knife and, it is stated, with most satis-
factory results.
Describing the treatment. the cor
respondent says the patient is placed
about a yard in front of an ordinary
arc lamp, and it's rays directed against
the affected parts of the body. The ir-
ritation lasts, at the beginning of the
treatment, fifteen minutes daily, but
it is increased gradually until ii
reaches two and one-half hours 1t
has been suggested that the light cure
may also be useful in cases of lung
tuberculosis, but this has not yet been
demonstrated,

GUNMEN CALMLY
HEAR OF GLYNN'S
REFUSAL Of STAY
No Hope Now of Saving Men
Doomed to Be Electrocuted
Monday.

OSSINING, n. Y, April S.-The four
gunmen confined here in the death
cells OF Sing Sing prison, convicted of
the murder of Gambler Herman
Rosenthal, last night added the latest
chapter to the amazing story of
criminality with which their names
are identified, when Warden Clancy
brought them the news that Governor
Glynn had denied the doomed men
their application for a reprieve.
Unmoved, they heard the warden
break the bad news to them. Not one
of the quartet showed the least emo
tion or gave any signs of a break
down. Instead they requested the
warden to send word to members Of
their respective families, assuring
their relatives that they had taken
the news very calmly and we're all
right.
The men upon whom the final sem
tence of death was pronounced are:
"Dago Frank" Coroflci, Harry Horo-
WITT ("Gyp the Bloody, Louis Rosen-
berg C"Lefty Louie'O and Jacob
Diedenschue C"Whitey Lewis'9.
VIII Die on Monday.
They are to be electrocuted on Mon
day between 5:45 and Q O'Clock in the
early morning.
For days the four gunmen in the
death house ct Sing Sing lived under
the impression that the reprieve for
which they had asked would be
granted. Somehow, through those
mysterious underground channels by
which the prison population of Sing
Sing get yadvance tips on all mat
ters of import to them, had come the
word that Governor Glynn was sorry
for "the boys" and would give them a
stay of execution until after the Sec
ond trial of lieutenant Becker.
When Warden Clancy heard from
the Governors secretary at 1880
o'clock he, too, was surprised, and i'm
mediately went into the death house
The first cells he came upon were
those of the four gunner.
The warden saw at glance that
'the boys" were not disposed to take
him seriously. They were sure that
they would get stay of execution. 1t
was in a Joking way, therefore. that

SEES REBUKE TO
ADMINISTRATION
IN JERSEYS VOTE
Statement by G. o. P. Con-
gressionaI Chairman-White
House BelittIes Defeat.

WASHINGTON. April s-Repre-
sentative Woods, of Iowa, chairman
of the National Republican Con-
gressional Committee, today issued
this statement:
For the second time In fourteen
years a Republican has been elected
to succeed a Democrat in Congress
from the Seventh district of New
Jersey. BY his letter indorsing the
Democratic candidate the President
asked the people of the New Jersey
district TO pass Judgment upon the
present administration The people
have done 50 in no uncertain terms,
rebulSing the un-Ameriean policy of
the Democratic party by vote of
to |. The small vote east for the
Bull Moose candidate evidences again
that the Republicans are united and
presages the election of a Republican
Congress next November"
When news of the Republican vic
tory came Representative Doremus,
of Michigan, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, after conference with Sec
retary Tumulty at the White House
issued this statement:
Two special congressional elections
enth New Jersey and the other in the
Twelfth Massachusetts. In these two
elections the Democrats broke even.
The Seventh New Jersey district, as
recently gerrymandered. is strongly
Republican and always has been. The
late Mr.. BTemner, because of his
tremendous personal popularity, was
probably the only Democrat who
could carry the district. If the
Democrats had succeeded there yes
terday Ii would have been almost a
miracle.
"a resume OF the elections held
during the past year shows an over
whelming sentiment In favor of this
administration. Since President Will
son assumed office eight special con-
gressional elections have occurred In
widely separated sections and the
Democrats were successful in five
districts.
so far as the New Jersey election
is concerned the only observation
warranted by the result is that a
strong Republican district has gone
Republican"
Secretary Tumulty said he expected
such a result, as the district was
normally Republican. When Mr. Will
son ran for Governor, Mr.. Tumulty
said, he lost Passaic county. which
extends over the same ground as the
congressional district. and Governor
Fielder, in the last election likewise
lost the county To the Republicans.
White House officials said they did
not regard the tolls question AZ
having had anything to do with the
result.
