CORONER POSTP0NfS
 IDA ROGERS INQUEST
Mother Accused Of Killing Babies
 Unable to Attend.

New York, Jan. 19.-Coroner Jer- cme Healy of Bronx county has de- cided to postpone the inquest into the death of John and Lorida Rogers, the children of Lorlys Elton Rogers and Ida Walthers. This action on the part Cf the coroner came after a series of interviews between District Attorney Francis Martin and Abraham Levy, counsel for Mrs Walters.
 Mir. Levy visited the district attor- ney yesterday and sought to effect an arrangement by which the necessity of his clients appearance at the inquest could be obvjated. According to MT. Martin. the lawyer requested that Mrs. Walters be permitted to remain in the hospital until after the 1n- quest. Later MT. Levy called on Mr. Eealy with the same object in view
 No Unusual Favors.
 The district attorney would not con- sider Mir. Levy's proposition. He made it plain that to the accused woman would be granted no unusual fevors of any nature. Coroner Healy was equally fixed in his opinions.
 The result of it all was that the coroner decided that he would have Mrs. Walters at the inquest, if he had. tc wait until spring. Therefore. he will not hold the proceedings on We'd nesday, as originally planned but will wait until there is no doubt as 10 the ability of Mrs. Walters to appear, The poison victim continues 10 i'm prove.
 Rogers Visits Wife.
 Although he is supposed to be barred from the bedside of the sick woman, it was reported yesterday that Lorlys Rogers had visited her. There seems to be lurking in the mind Of the prosecutor the possibility of more than one indictment. Mystery surrounds the lines along which he ;s working and he refuses to make a definite statement in reference to bie expectations.
 pr. John Regelman, coroner's phvsi elan, has been appointed by the dis trlct attorney to visit Mrs. Walters in the hospital and report on her condI- ton. Upon his report will depend the date of the inquest. Tn view of the postponement of the inquest. there IS a strong likelihood that the wo1na n will be removed to the county jail before the coroner requires her pres eECe.
 Several Witnesses Examined,
 The witnesses examined in the grand jury proceedings yesterday were Patrolmen Kiely, Johnson and Bruckner, several nurses and Dr. W. G. Hague, family physician and con- fGant of Mrs. Walters, pr. Hasue's examination was brief and he will be called again when the jury convenes. on Wednesday.

 Opposes Prohibition.
 Do you indorse the prohibition movements he was asked.
 "No," he replied. God put evils 1rto the world, and man must choose for himself the thing he should do. It is all right for a man to drink, but not for him to get drunk. God could have created the world and placed mankind here without evil influences, but He did not do this, and it is not right for a majority of people in the country to take the evil away. I be- lieve every community should regulate it's own problems in it's own way. For that reason I am opposed to state pro- hibition.

MEN SHOT
 IN PITCHED BATTLE
25) Strikers and 50 Deputy SheTIffS
 Cash al ROOStVGi, N. J

Roosevelt, N. J.. Jan. 19.-Four- teen men were shot, four of them being mortally wounded, in pitched battle between 25O striking laborers and fifty deputy sheriffs at the plant of the American Agricultural Chem ical company here today.
 The fight occurred when the strik- CTS held up a Central Railroad of New Jersey train from Eliza bethport to see if it carried strike breakers for the plant. There were no strike breakers aboard, but a few office em- ployes who were passengers started an outcry, apparently believing that the strikers intended them harm.
 General Encounter Ensucs.
 In answer to the call, fifty deputy sheriffs, armed with rifles and re- volvers, ran from the company's plant, where they had been stationed for the past two weeks, to the scene. A general encounter between the dep uties and the strikers ensued. at first with stones.
 Some one fired a shot This was the signal for a fusillade. which came apparently from both sides. None of the deputies was injured, but many of the strikers fell. Most of the wounded men were shot through the legs. The strikers dispersed. some of them carrying the wounded men away.
 Probably Will Die.
 The four most seriously wounded were taken to q hospital at Eliza beth. It was said they probably would die.
 The office employees were escorted from the train to the plant by the deputies without further incident.
 Held Up Train.
 District Superintendent Champion of the company, who is in charge of the plant here, said that the strik- CTS had held up the train by piling railroad. ties across the tracks and that the deputies were compelled to use firearms to protect themselves and the office employees.
 The strike at the plant has been on for two weeks. According to the company's statem ent. approXimatelE half of their 400 employees are at- fected. The strikers are unslSillcd la aborers, it is said. who quit work when their demand for an increase of 40 cents a day was refused.

 Along the main road from Paterno to Pescina traffic has ceased except for a few motor cars carrying sup plies and some country carts which, when encountered, were generally laden with two or more collins.

 The flourishing town of Pescns is a mass of ruins from which there is already perceptibIe the odor of dead bodies More than 1000 of the peo- pie of Pescina are buried under the fallen buildings. Some of the corpses which have been recovered lie on the ground at street corners.
 Although living persons are still being dug out of the ruins there area only 150 soldiers at Pescina to as- sist the survivors in rescue work. The few surviving town officials con plain bitterly of the governments neglect. They say no bread has been obtainable since Saturday and that the people and soldiers have had nothing to eat but vegetables brought from neighboring villages. -~

 Pescina lost its most famous land mark, the sixteenth century castle Of the Piccolomini family, and tie house where the famous Cardinal Mazarin was born.
 The condition of the surviving pop ulation of the town of San Benedetto,~ ~ near Peacina. is deplorablc. Over 1000 Of the inha bitants pcrished out of a total population of 4,500.
