BAYONNE STRIKERS QUIET FOLLOWING
 ARREST OF GUARDS
Oil Company Employees Are Determined to Stand Fast
 on Their Demands.

New York, July 26.-There was no disorder in the early hours of today in connection with the strike at the Standard Oil conpany's works in the Constable Hook section of Bayonne. N J. The same condition existed as to the Tidewater Oil companys plant
 Influences were still working today for an adjustment of the dispute be- tween employers and workmen.
 The majority of the men, however, serned determined to stand fast on their demands. The Standard Oil company apparently expects that the trouble will soon be over, for two of in the bay for safety, when the disor- der appeared last week, returned to the piers early today and preparations were made to complete their loading
 The arrest of guards yesterday by the sheriff had one good effect. There was an almost total (absence of snip ing during the night. Guards were maintained last night at the residences of George B. Clifford, general man ager, and c. B. Hennessy, superintend- ent of the plant.
 The Underwater men were paid off to- day. They assembled at union head quarters and marched to the office of the Tidewater plant. As fast as they got their money they were hustled away. Sherim Kinkead had charge of the arrangements.
 The strike of Standard Oil em- ployes extended to Jersey City today. At noon 200 coopers employed in the Eagle Oil Works, a. subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company, and located at Cayen Point, Jersey City, went on strike and their leaders announced that before evening all of the 2,500 men employed in the plant would be involved.
 The strike situation in Bayonne, where serious disorder occurred last week, appeared to be well in hand to- day. There was not a sign of trouble.

In the superior court a jury awarded him S5,ooo.
 Judge Webb said tnis was excessive and declared he would set aside the verdict unless Beers would accept $3,- 500 This offer was refused and Beers lawyers took an appeal, re- questing that if the appeal was de- cided against them the Judgment of $3,500 be allowed to stand.

BartenderS
 Union Won't
 Drop Charter
Members Incensed At Ac. 2 tions of Carroll Whose Au-
 thority They Question.

Members Of the Bartenderss union of this city have had no thought of giving up their charter according to the vote they took at meeting held in their roonas in Wall street yester7 day afternooh. Prominent members of the uzaion say that there was no in tention Of relfnquishing the charter which is one of the oldest of the labor unions in this city. They saw the let ters sent out requesting the attend ance of members of the local were worded in rather strong language in the hope of getting members who have not been at meetings for some time to attend and take part in the deliberations of the organization.
 Members of the union say that John J. Carroll who last Friday came into The Farmer office, and showed what appeared to be credentials as an of hcer and organizer of the union bar tenders and declared he would dis band the local here, has nothing to do with the union whatever. It is the belief of local bartenders that Carroll is an impostor and that in some sa- loon he saw the card sent all mem bers calling the meeting and that he took advantage of it and butt into a situation where he was not wanted.
 At the meeting yesterday Joseph Lindley, manager of Shea's hotel in Main street, was accused of having given a story to The Farmer that the union was to be disbanded. MT. Lind ley did not give out this story. MT. Carroll came to the office of The Far mer. sought out a reporter and gave the story himself From what he of fered as credentials the reporter who wrote the story had every reason to believe that he was d national officer of the union and that he was sincere in what he said.
 William Motz, who yesterday was l appointed by the Bartenders union, 1 called at The Farmer office today and said that officers of the union did not know MT. Carroll and that MT. Carroll was not a national officer or an or ganizer
 MT. Metz said:
 stThis man has no authority. to speak for anyone in our organization. Nor can he disband our organization. He did not appear at our meeting yester- l day. If he was a bona fde officer o1 ] our union he would have consulted d with the officers of our local before l he gave a story to any newspaper. Our 1 local is not in any financial difficulty We pay all our bills and we pay al death benefits through our national l body. We have not maintained 9 bar in our clubroons in more than a year. We removed from the rooms 4 at Bank street to commo dious and well furnished rooms in Wall street about a year ago..
 Secretary Kelly elected at the meet ing yesterday has been instructed ro write to the national officers in an en- Edeavor to discover the identity of MT. lCarroN.
 At the meeting yesterday the follow l ing officers were naned for the en- suing term: President, Patrick De- vine; viee-president, Richard Falls; financial secretary, Try R. Lee; re cording secretary, John D. Kelley; treasurer David Miller; inspector Henry Ellis; inside guard, Joseph La Croix; outside guard, John Daley; and chaplain. David Steele.

the amount he rejected in the super for court So 1t looks as if the case will have to be tried again.
 In the suit of Lillian Sherwood Newkirk, of Westport, against Aaron B. Sherwood, the town of Westpor and others, the supreme court finds no error in Judge Burpee's decision for Mrs. Newkirk. This action was brought to determine ownership of the southwesterly side of Sherwood's island in Westport over which the town claimed a. right of way. Tt is said that prominent residents plan ned a park on the property if the town won the suit.
 In the dispute over the office of town clerk in Stamford, the supreme court sustains Judge Williams, who order ed a special election for a, successor to the late Town Clerk Waterbury. The court says lack of funds is not a sufficient excuse for failing to hold the election and says the city must provide funds.
 When Waterbury died. March 20, 1915, there was a taxpayers petition for a special election to name his sue cessorf but the se1eetnnen declined to call the election on the ground that they had no authority and that the election appropriation had been ex- hausted. This was the basis for their demurrer which Judge Williams overru1ed.

COUNSEL MAKES
 FINAL STRUGGLE
 TO SAVE BECKER

New York, July 26-With the date set for the execution of Charles Beck CT but two days distant, his counsel and representative of the district attorneys office argued before Su- prerne Court Justice Ford today the motion that Becker be granted a. new trial W. Bourkc Cochran, chief of Becker's counsel, made the leading argument for the prisoner.
 Numerous aff1davits bearing on the new evidence upon which Becker s counsel bases his plea were ready for submission to the court by counsel for both Becker and the state. The decision as to whether these aff1davits should be accepted or whether those making them should be called upon to testify orally rested with Justice Ford. Should he decide to call for their ap- pearance before him to testify it was expected that the taking of oral evil dence would begin today as Becker s execution has been set for Wednesday morning.
 Mir Cochran, chief counsel, opened the proceedings by reviewing the ground upon which a new trial is de- sired and calling the attention of the court to evidence already in the re- cords which he said he would attack.
 MT. Cochran read a statement in which the district attorney was quot ed as saying he had held the four in jail and had pounded them day af- ter day as he had considered it his duty before God to do.''
 .aThis explains the whole character of the tria1,'' said MT. Cochran.
 MT. Cochran then discussed the so-. called Harlem conference where Becker was said to have given the final order that resulted in the killing of RosenthaI.
