Surprise in Washington.

Washington, May 10. - The report
that the German submarine campaign
had been suspended for a week was a
surprise to the officials mere.
The statement in regard to the tenn
porary calling off of the German sub
marine operations is taken seriously
here not only because Of the source
from which it comes. but also because
it seems to be supported by the facts
In the situation Since the world was
startled and shocked by the sinking
of the Lusitania there has clearly been
a period of inactivity on the part OF
the German submarines. Only two
vessels have been reported sunk since
the Lusitania was sent to the bot
tom, and they were apparently tor
pedoed ON the day following the great
disaster and before the German ad-
miralty would have been able to have
taken steps toward halting the opera
tions.
Practically Concession
If this statement of Germany's ac-
ton Is correct it is already a substan-
tial concession TO President Wilson's
demands and at least indicates a con-
ciliatory attitude on the part of Ger
many. The view accepted here. how

RECONSTRUCTION OF
BRITISH CABINET
That Changes Will
be Made-Bonar Law Calls
for Unity at Conference.


London, May 19-Premier Asquith
in the House of Commons this after
noon announced the reconstruction
of the ministry on broader political
basis is under consideration" This
announcement from the prime minis
ter was regarded as an official con-
firmation of the report that a eoali-
tion cabinet is to replace the present
liberal ministry.
Attracted by the ministerial crisis
one of the largest crowds of history
thronged the house of commons to
await Premier Asquith's announce
ment of new cabinet. Liberal
leaders were engaged in a series of
conferences before commons conven-
ed Despite their objections the
formation of a new cabinet was deem
ed inevitable. The London Daily
Times stated today that the govern
n,ent has asked support from the
opposition conforming a new minis
try The unionist leaders have ten
tatively given their consent, the
Times said, but are insisting they be
given an equal share of important
positions in the new cabinet. Bo-
mar Law, leader of the oppositions,
slated for position in the new cabi-
net, called on all parties to forget
their differences and to unite for a
successful prosecution OF the war in
a speech he delivered shortly after
the house of commons convened. His
remarks were considered preparatory

BARNES LIBEL CASE
IS READY FOR JURY
Justice Andrews Outlines the
Points on Which the Trial
Jury Will Pass.
SUMMING UP COMPLETED
Did Barnes Work Through Al
lance of Crooked Politics
is Question for the Jurors.
specftl by United Press Wire.

~PecUt oJ Oaffed Pfe5S Wire.
Syracuse, N. Y, May 19-After
denying motion of Barnes counsel
to direct a verdict In the $4,000
libel suit against ex-President
Roosevelt, Justice Andrews out
lined the point upon which
the jury will pass Did Barnes
work through an alliance of crooked
politics and crooked business? Was
there an alliance between Barnes and
Murphy of Tammany hall during the
United States senatorial contest in
1911? However the jury views the
evidence presented upon these two
questions will depend whether the
victory will go to the plaintiff or de-
fendant.
The stage was Set for the closing of
the Barnes-Roosevelt $4,000 libel
suit trial today. Attorneys for both
sides announced that they would
complete their arguments. before
court convened This will leave
nothing for tomorrow but the charg-
ing of the jury. William WINS,
chief of Barnes's counsel, made a
formal motion when court opened
today for decision for his client.
He argued that the coloneps wit
nesses have failed to substantiate
the charges against Barnes.
Following a ruling on the mo-
tion, Roosevelt's chief counsel, John
M. Bowers, will start summing up
for his client. Justice Andrews,
after the motion had been made, de-
MED it. The Judge also denied a
motion to exclude all the printing
evidence, although he said 1t would
not be submitted to the jury in JUS
tffication, 1t may go TO the jury In
mitigation of damages. Explaining
his reasons for not excluding the
printing evidence Justice Andrews
said.
My holding Is that not part of
the article but the article as whole
Is libelous. The general charge is a
corrupt alliance between Mr.. Barnes
and Mr. Murphy. | have held that
Independent of the general charge,
there is a subordinate charge that
Mr.. Barnes worked through an al
lance between crooked business and
crooked politics Therefore the two
charges which will be considered by
the jury are, first, the general
charge in the whole article of cor
rupt alliance between Mr.. Barnes
and Mr.. Murphy, and second, that
Mr.. Barnes works through an al
lance of crooked business and
crooked politics"

WANTS WARCRAFT
HERE ON JULY 4TH
Mayor Has Novel Scheme to
Entertain Public on Fourth
of JuIy-Meeting Friday.

An endeavor is being made to have
one or two battIeships or submarines
exhibited in local waters In conjunc-
ton with the safe and sane Fourth
OF July celebration. Acting upon the
suggestion OF citizen, Mayor Ferd
Garretson has written to Secretary
of the Navy Daniels and will endeav-
or to enlist the services of Congress
man Thomas J. Scully in an effort to
make such an exhibition possible.
Plans for the celebration will again
be discussed by the mayor and mem
bers of his committee In city hall at
O'Clock Friday night. Working
committees for the making of detail
preparations for the demonstration
are being formed, but as yet they
have not been completed. Mayor
Garretson with the assistance of City
Clerk Wilbur LaRoe4 Is working
upon the problem of establishing the
best committees possible to do the
work.
Following upon the naval review
at New York the past several days,
Patrick McGrath, an engineer on the
ferry line between this city and Tot
tenville, conceived the idea that it
would be we'll to have a small exhibit
ton of that kind in local waters July
8. He concluded that it would be of
attraction to people from surround
ing places as we'll as this city. The
idea was accordingly suggested to
Mayor Ferd Garretson. He believed
that the exhibition of one or more
war vessels in local waters would be
big attraction. A letter was ac-
cordingly dispatched to Secretary
Daniels last night, asking him to use
his influence in making such DEM
onstration possible. The services Of
Congressman Scully will be similarly
enlisted, In an effort to have the
plan carried out and no stone will be
left unturned in the urging of gov
ernment officials to permit the exhi-
bition.
Speaking about the probable DEM
onstration today, the mayor said it
would no doubt serve as big attrac-
ton, to both local and out of town
people. He believed that the sight of
battleship in the stream here, or
having submarine tied up at the
city dock and another anchored out
IN the sound, bay or river, would at
tract thousands of people from far
and near.
In view of the fact that working
committees have not been completed
as yet. 1t is not expected that much
will be done at the Fourth of July
committee meeting Friday night
Most of the time will probably be
taken up with discussion of ideas
for innovations in the line of safe
and sane Fourth of July celebrations.
1t is the endeavor of workers for the
project to use only the best and most
attractive features consistent with
the amount of money available. New
ideas are welcomed. Outdoor sports,
water sports, patriotic exercises at
City Hall park and fireworks dis
plays are practically certainty.

BOY WAITS; Pig TOO

He reached the scene between and

and the pig.
1t developed that the boys moth
er had purchased the pig at noon
and had instructed the little boy TO
watch the crate until she returned.
She had difficulty in getting some
one to fetch the crate, SO did not re-
turn to the market until after dark.
Mr.. Toft located her and turned

OUTLOOK TO SELL
BONDS IS DUBIOUS
Officials Believe, However,
They Can Hold Prospective
Bond Buyers to Purchase.

While city officials believe that
they can hold the prospective bond
buyers to purchase under certain
provisions and the fact that the
award was made on May II, the out
look for the sale of municipal light
plant bonds in the amount Of
$4,000 loowed dubious today. City
Treasurer James A. Rhodes stated
that the money market was in bad
shape, but he expected that the
Leach and Everitt concerns would
take the bonds after the contracts
that the plant would be established.
Bids are scheduled to be received at
a meeting of the Board of Aldermen
tonight. The board adjourned from
Monday night until o'clock tonight
for the specific purpose OF receiving
the bids. Unless the bids are the
same as those previously received,
they may be laid over for tabulation.
Shortly before the time limit for
the award, the city opened negotia-
tions with the bond buyers for an
extension of time until tonight. The
bond companies wanted the city to
agree in writing to lay the award
over until May 10, between which
date and May IL the bonds might
be purchased. but then only subject
to market conditions existing at the
tine of purchase. The city officials
decided to take no chances in losing
the sale and also a fat premium so a
resolution was adopted on May l. to
make the award. The bond concerns
would not accept the bonds at that
time Despite the fact that the city
cid not accept the companies propo-
sition, 1t has appeared to some off,
Gals here that the companies be-
lieved the award was not to be made
until the establishment of a plant
became certainty. 1t is thought
by some officials here that the bond
companies may parley on TECHNICAL
ties or MISUNDERSTANDING and not
agree to purchase at this time, be-
cause of the falling condition of the
financial market
If the bonds are accepted, it will
probably not be until after the award
has been made, according to the be-
lief of City Treasurer Rhodes. With
the bids being received tonight, it is
not expected that the contract will
be awarded for at least two or three
days.

GET EXTENSION
OF TIME. FOR
WATER RIGHTS
State Water Commission
Gives Continuance to Steel
Concern on Sewaren Rights.
HOPE AGAIN IN SEWAREN
Application Made by Wither-
bee, Sherman & Co., the
N. Y. Iron Ore Corporation.
HAD OPTIONS ON PROPERTY
Unable to Finance Project for
Steel Plant Until After the
European War is Over.
HAD OPTIONS ON PROPERTY

Renewed hopes have been awak-
ened among those who during 1914
had visions of a mammoth steel and
lion works at Sewaren by the recent
action of the New Jersey State Wa
ter Supply Commission In extending
for another year certain water rights
obtained by Witherbee, Sherman &
Company, a lew York iron ore cor
poration, along the south branch OF
the Railway river and along Wood
bridge creek.
The commission took this action
on request of the New York corpora
ton, which gave as It's reasons for
its non-use of the water privileges
the fact that 1t has been unable to
finance the proposed Industrial ven
ture because of strained financial
conditions caused by the European
war. The company's plan to secure
capital for the enterprise failed last
September when the war had been in
progress about three months. On
October l 1t released all Its options
held with the Boynton Real Estate
Company. These options had been in
effect during the previous eighteen
months 1t was thought that the
New York corporation had then
given up all Intentions of ever ex-
plotting the steel and iron industry at
Sewaten. However, 1t now seems as
if tho firm has still prospects of car
rying out their original projects on
the termination OF the war, but that
they have decided taking their
chances ON buying the Boynton
nf a Ii.
1t would still be in the market
then, when probably they could Sc.
cure the property as cheaply, and be
relieved of the expense of carrying
options, which they did at a consid-
cradle outlay for eighteen months.
The privilege extended by state wa
v supply board for one year grants
EMISSION to the corporation to store
use water of the two streams
httoned above. The original grant
WAS made June 16, 1914, and the re-
newal will entitle the company to
such privileges until June 1, 1916.
The State Water Supply Commits
sion, of which DR.. William e. Ramsay
is a member, met at Belmar yester-
day and gave hearing on the appli-
cation of the Shark River Water
Company, asking for the privilege of
storing the headwaters of the Shark
river for purposes of wholesaling
potable water to the coast cities.
Objection was offered by mayors and
counsel from the different cities af-
fected. Asbury Park opposed the
grant on the ground that it had title
to part of the property affected,
which title the water company claim
ed was invalid. The other MAYORS
opposed the grant because they want
the headwaters of the Shark river
under municipal control, rather than
under private concern. The COM
mission took the matter under con-
sideration. Next Tuesday the com
mission will sit at a public hearing
