SANITARY MILK
SUPPLY PLAN IS
GIVEN CHECK

The plans of the Board of Health
for abolishing the sale of dip milk"
in Newark received a temporary set
back today, when one of the two big
groups of wholesalers organized to
bottle milk failed to show adequate
evidence of its intention to comply
with the ordinapce, which became
effective on Wednesday.
When the wholesalers were in
formed that they would be given
time in which to prepare themselves
for compliance with the ordinance,
the Board of Health gave them to
understand in the most emphatic
manner that they would be required
to furnish convincing proof of their
determination to get ready imme-
diately.
Wednesday the members of one of
the new bottling concerns appeared
and exhibited plans, etc, and were
given a three months extension Of

cept them as sufficient evidence of
the new firms good faith. He gave

u. S. AWAITS FURTHER
WORD ON PEACE PLAN
Inclined Not to Exert It's Good Offices End Hostes in Eu
rope Until Assured They Are Welcome-Popes Peace Pro-
posal Inspired by Teutonc Powers One Washington View

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. - The
United States will make no further
efforts to bring about peace in Europe
until it has received information that
its good offices will be welcomed by
both sides in the conflict. This was
stated authoritativeiy here today in
official discussions of the message
from Pope Benedict, delivered to
President Wilson yesterday by Car
dinal Gibbons.
From the fact that the Vatican is
in close touch with Austria, the con-
struction placed by oHiciais on the
Pope's message is that the Germanic
powers would be willing to discuss
peace at this time. 1t was stated by
those in closest touch with the ad-
ministration that similar word will
have to be received from Great
Britain and her allies before the presi-
dent Will make any further move.
President Wilson has made it clear
several times that his original offer
of services to bring about peace still
stands, and that he will do every
thing possible to further the move.
ment. The United States, however
will do nothing likely to endanger its
position as a friend to all belligerents,
it was said authoritatively.
The Pope's message will not be
made public by this govennment, al
though there would be no objection
if Cardinal Gibbons gives 1t out.
Enough of the contents of the mes
sage is known, however, to give basis
for indicating that Austria, Germany
and Turkey are not adverse to dis
cussing peace.
Cardinal Gibbons had returned to-
day to his home in Baltimore with
out defizite information regarding
the White House conference having
been made known or the text of the
message which he conveyed to Presi
dent Wilson from Pope Benedict re-
garding peace having been disclosed.
1t is known, however, that the
pontiff's message praised President
Wilson'S attitude, and indicated q
belief that the United States might
be in a position to help in bringing
about a cessation of hostilities in
Europe. The cardinal also told the
president that the United States
had been placed in a very adVan-
tageous position to aid In bringing
to an end the conflict, owing to the
apparent settlement of the issue be-
tween the United States and Ger"
many over submarine warfare, which
had greatly aided the cause of peace
1t is said unofficially that the presi-
dent was greatly pleased with the
message and with the Interview
Further developments as an outcome
of the conference are awaited with
the deepest interest by officials and

PEN" KEEPERS
ARE ACQUITTED
BY SUPERVISOR
Misconduct Charges Not Sus-
tanned, Warden Hosp Upheld
for Forcing Inquiry.

Charges of misconduct. preferred
against Joseph Caprio and Benjamin
Drill, two keepers in the Caldwell
pententiary, were dismissed because
of insufficient proof, by Supervisor
Lewis G.. Bowden today. After the
close of the case the supervisor de-
clared that Warden Ferdinand Hosp,
who had brought the charges before
him, had only acted as he should
have done; that he not only did not
exceed his duty, but was entirely
justified in making the complaint.
The two men were suspended July
IS, after 1t had been alleged that
they had offered to bring food into
the penitentiary from the outside for
the use of a prisoner, and that they
had been guilty of making improper
proposals to the prisoners wife. Tt
was also alleged that they had Of
fered to furnish the prisoner in ques-
tion with proof that would enable
him to obtain a divorce.
The Zwicker Case.
The prisoner in question was Her
man Zwicl1er, of New York, who had
been convicted in the Federal Court
Of selling decayed eggs 1t was
charged that Zwickers wife Helen
had visited the penitentiary, and that
there the two officers had offered to
see to il for her that bologna and
other foods were brought into the
prison for her husband. 1t was also
alleged that both men made improper
proposals TO Mrs. zwicker at this
time, and then had offered to furnish
Zwicker with evidence for a divorce
for a considera ton
At previous hearing of the
charges Michael De Yesso, who had
been in the penitentiary at the time
the alleged offenses were committed,
was called, and astonished his hear
ers by recanting an affidavit he had
made. In this affidavit he swore that
Caprio had admitted to him the truth
of the substance Of the charges. On
the stand De Yesso swore that War
den Hosp had forced him to swear
to the affidavit, and that 1t was un-
true. De Yesso, who at the time he
was called as a witness, had been
discharged from the penitentiary, has
since been arrested for violating his
probation.
When the case was called today 1t
was announced that Herman Zwicker
and Mrs Zwicker were In New York
city and had refused to respond to a
subpoena directing them to come to
the hearing AS their testimony was
absolutely necessary to prove the
charges the case had to be dismissed.
Warden Hosp refused absolutely to

Strike Reveals Heavy Demands
in This City for Factory
Journeymen.

The strike of the Newark District
Council OF Carpenters of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, which has been in
progress since Wednesday. is about
over, with a victory registered for the
union, according to the statement
handed out by the strike committee
at headquarters, Stammler's Hall, 4s
William street, today.
OF the $50 contractors in the New
ark district, which takes in this city,
Harrison, Kesrny, Arlington, Belle
vile and Nutley, all but about fifty
have signed the union agreement and
have asked that their men return to
work at once. 1t is estimated that
eighty-tive per cent. of the members
OF the union have returned to work
and that before quitting time tonight
that ninetytive per cent. will have
returned to work.
THE statement in the Evening Star
of Wednesday night that there was
a big demand for carpenters at the
present time was absolutely correct. F."
said Christopher c. Novel, chairman
of the strike committee, today He
added: "If contractors who have not
yet signed want to hold the men they
have in their employ they better get
on the band wagon. and sign the
agreement before their employees
secure jobs else where"
Big Demand.
There Is a great demand for men
on factory construction work; in fact,
there Is about treble the amount of
this class of work than ever before
IN the Newark district, and we are
receiving requests even now for more
men from the contractors who have
signed the agreement and want ad-
ditional help. The regular building
trade, that is, the erection of resi-
dences and that class of construction,
is away below normal
THE activity in the mill or factory
construction work started about three
months ago, and Is going to continue
for considerable period of time,

tractors"
The big crowd which mad been

Wednesday and yesterday had dwin-
died down to a handful today. Some
of these men, 1t was said, were giving
the strike as an excuse to take a
vacation until after Labor Day.
Chance to Sign.
The strike committee will continue
in session every day at the hall for
another week, to give some of the de-
linquent contractors a chance to sign
the agreement. The size of the COM
mittee will be reduced from twelve 10
three men after tomorrow
At the meeting of the council which
was held last night a resolution was
passed asking for support from the
other building trades in the event
that any contractor attempted to put
non-union men to work.
1t was announced at the meeting
that assurance had already been
given by other branches of the build
ing trades that they would assist the
carpenters, if asked to do so. Assist
ance, however, will only be requested
il an attempt is made to put non
union men to work, which is unlikely,

action for peace among the heads of
neutral nations and the Pope is sug-

President Wilson's offer of the

communication of the holy father
which l had made to him." said the

LONDON, Sept. 3-The United

on the highest official authority that
England's attitude toward peace has
undergone absolutely no change since
Premier Asquith's statement in his
Guild Hall speech August, 1914. The
official who made this statement re-
quested that his name be not used.
This statement was made in view
of the peace reports now in circula-
ton in the United States and of the
discussions in the German press.
In his Guild Hall speech, Premier
Asquith declared that England was
fighting to force the restoration of
Belgium to her own people and to
remove forever the menace of mill
tarism from Antwerp.

BERLIN (via The Hague), Sept. g.
The German public not only is
hopeful that the negotiations now
being conducted by Ambassador
Bernstorff will result in satisfactory
adjustment of German American re-
lations, but also hopes that it will
open the way for negotiations for the
lifting of the British blockade.
In some quarters the idea was ex-
pressed that the establishment of
more cordial relations between Ger
many and America may result in the
prohibition of further shipments of
ammunition to the allies by Ameri-
can manufacturers.
The press, thus far, has made nc
comment.
