HENNESSY BILL
AIMED To END
PAVING GRABS
Will Regulate Patented Pave
ment Contracts and End Scan
daIs, He Says.

TRENTON, Jan. 26. - senator

THE bill, If it becomes a law, viii
effectually end the patented pave
ment scandals in this State Senator

road building, and any public body

must be done in open price COM
petition with pavement materials Of
the same general type, and the con-
tract must go to the lowest bidder.
It would destroy the unfair monopoly
which in Essex county and in the
city of Newark has caused the waste
of such large sums of public money
in recent years"

laws. Senator Austen Colgate. of

sitions under civil service Immediate

BEER WILL TAKE
STAND IN PROBE
Of WICK CHARGE CHARGE
Man Alleged to Have Named
Bryan and HamiIl Called in
Sullivan Case.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-5ensationai
testimony Is expected in the Santo
Domingo hearing before Commissioner
James D. Phelan at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel today. William G. Beer,
attorney, named throughout the in
vest.gation of charges against Min
lister James NJ. Sullivan, is expected
TO take the stand. Today's hearing
will be the last held in New YORK,
Phelan having stated that beginning
tomorrow Washington would be the
scene of inquiry. Beer, it was alleged
oy w. E. Davis, a former witness In
the inquiry, had said that Whatever
he rea lied from contracts in 6anto
Domingo he had to share with Gov
ernor Glynn, Representative Hamill
and no less a parsonage than the sec
retary of state"
Beer will be asked today whether
| he made this statement.
Testimony late yesterday at the IN
uuiry was to the effect that names OF
Secretary of State Bryan, Glynp and
Hamill were dragged into the inquiry
| throught a "frame-up," Joseph Null
holland and Peter Ryan, contractors
testified that NJ. E. Davis told then
months ago that If there ever was al
| inquiry into the affairs of Sasito Do
mingo he would "get soHAre with
everybody, from Bryan @..gn."
| A letter from President Wilson COM
mending the administration of Walter
w. Wick, of Rutherford, N. j., as re-
ceiver-general of customs at Santo
Domingo was also placed in evidence.
/ 1t was Wick, who, after resign!ng his
post, instigated the charges OF un-
| fitness against Sullivan which led to
| the present investigation.
| The letter, addressed to Wick from
/ the White House on June %, 1914,
expressed the Presidents regret that
| Wick felt obliged to resign IF your
| health and Mrs. Vick's is suffering,
and my sincere admiration for the
way in which you have administered
| q difficult task" The communication
was introduced over Vick's protest
| that it was a private communication,
after Frank j. r. Mitchell, president
! of the Banco Nacional of Santo Do
mingo, had testified that mislead-
| ing translation of the letter had ap-
| peared in Santo Domingo newspapers,
! intended TO indicate an intimate
| friendship between Wick and the
| President, which was not warranted
| by the text. This translation, Mitch
| ell charged, was a part OF O. cam
paign to prejudice Domlnlcans
| against the Banco NacloDal, winch
was at odds with Wick because OF
! his charges that the institution mad
sought to make use of American Off
cials, including Sullivan, to exploit
| the island
Wick said he had nothing to do
with the translation and 1t was
brought out, according to witnesses
familiar with Spanish, that the trans
| lation was correct.

CONTINUES FIGHT
FOR HOUSE SEAT
Elliot Brings Witnesses to Tes-
tify He Was Victor in
Bergen.
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Jan. 26.-The elections
committee of the house today held an
unexpected hearing into the situation
brought out by Jason Elliot, who
claims that he has just discovered
that he is entitled to seat in the
house because he received more votes
at the November election than did
Arthur NJ. Agnew, John J. johnson
or Edgar A. DeYoe, the Democratic
members of the Assembly from Ber-
gen. Elliot is Republican.
Elliot declares that the recent re-
count in the Sixth Congressional dis
trict, by which former State Senator
John D. Prince hoped to unseat Con-
gresham Archibald Hart, showed
that he was among the winners.
When the legislature first convened
he complained to the house, and his
story was referred to the committee
on elections.
AInu4.a Ae witnesses today were
Wood Mckee, manager OF Princes
campaign; Wendell J. Wright, prose-
cutor of Bergen county, and Alfred
H. Hale, member of the Bergen
county board of elections. The ques-
tioning was done by Assemblyman
Garfield Pancoast, Republican, of
Camden, at whose elbow sat John j.
Matthews, of Hunterdon, a Democrat
and clerk of the house minority, Mat
thews coached Pancoast with some of
the questions.
Hale said he believed some OF the
ballots were marked purposely.
DO you mean there were evidences
OF fraud?" asked Assemblyman Pan
coast.
well, we rejected the ballots" re-
piled Mr.. Hale.
He was asked IL more Democratic
than Republican ballots were thrown
out.
More ballots were thrown out,
certainly. No, I can't answer that
question"
Later he declared that more Of
Harts ballots than of Princes bal
lots were thrown out
The committee had to adjourn, but
testimony will be resumed. Assem-
b,yman Pancoast set the date and
time for next Tuesday at $3.50 a. m,

Amendments and Reports Re-
Vised Measure Again.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-Repuoli-
can amendments 70 the administra-
ton shipping bill to prohibit purchase
os ships now belonging to the Euro
pean belligerents, was rejected today
by the Senate commerce committee

One important amendment would

JAPS' DEMANDS
WORRY CHINESE
Peking Uneasy About Political
and Territorial Conces-
sions Sought.

PEKING, China, Jan. 26.-Certain
political and territorial demands
which Japan has made upon China
following the japanese occupation of
Kiachow have become known in
Peking, and their extent is disquiet-
ing to Chinese officials.
These demands, twenty-one in num-
ber, were communicated to the Chi
nese government January % by the
Japanese minister here. They include,
first. that China turn over to Japan
all existing German and Austrian
CONCESSIONS; second, that China
pledge herself not to give concessions
in the future to any country except
Japan; third, permission to build a
special territorial railroad, and
fourth, mining privileges in Shentung
and Fukien provinces, in Manchuria,
in eastern Mongolia and in the Yang
tse Vallev.
If the demands were granted, 1t Is
at the result would
be tantamount to turning TO Japan
all the regions above named as
spheres of influence, to the detriment
of the treaty rights of other nations.
Up to the present time the Peking
government has not replied to the
Japanese note.
