CONTROL
OF WANAQUE
l, SEEMS ASSURED
rts Towards This End Har-
bniousIy Discussed at Com
mission Hearing Here.

PPerfect harmony prevailed at the
conference between the State Water
lSupply Commission and representa-
Ftives of the city of Newark and adj
jacent municipalities in the City Hall
here today regarding the wisdom of
developing the Wanaque watershed
at the joint expense of the munich
palities concerned.
What may be the best method by
which the watershed shall be de-
veloped and the water distributed
under State control is the problem
now to be solved.
There was every indication that
the commission will refuse the ap-
plication of the city of Newark for
permission to develop the watershed
alone. The answer to the applica-
tion is due from the commission of
July 27 and there is little doubt the
Newark proposition will be rejected
There is some confusion as to the
method by which the plan shall be
worked out and whether Paterson,
Passaic and Montclair shall bear the
entire expense Of approximately $8,-
100000 for the purchase of the plant
of the East Jersey Water Company
In order to give representatives of
the various municipalities concerned
time to look into the matter more
carefully from an individual view
point, an adjournment was taken
until Wednesday. July 81, at 1O:30
o'clock, when another conference
will be held at the City Hall in this
city.
When representatives of the COM
munities Interested in the proposed
development of the Wanaque water

A movement was on foot among
some of the merchants of Market
street this spring to remain open
until late hour Saturday night both
summer and winter, but the stores
would not consent to the proposition,
and the custom of giving a half holi-
day on Saturdays throughout the
heated term Will continue.
The Board of Freeholders also have
decided to give each employe of the
bridge department a vacation of fif-
teen days. This vacation period be-
gan today.

Public Library will close at $3.50
O'Clock every evening except Mondays

nings each week the library will re-
main open until 3 O'Clock each night.
In addition to giving the assistants
in the library shorter hours of service
throughout the summer, this plan,
which lis in the nature of an expert
ment, will permit the establishment
of branch libraries in the all-the-yeaf
schools throughout the city.
This will be the first time the school
libraries will be i'm charge of COM
petent librarians. Miss Beatrice Win
SER assistant librarian, said today
that the trustees hoped that this
experiment would be so successful
that the Board of Education would
be induced to help library expansion
in the city, and that in the future,
schoolhouses could be used as libra

BY advice of Assistant Attorney
General Herbert Boggs, Civil Service
Commissioner Alexander II. Fordyce,

instated.
The contention OF the attorney

that pay roll with the names of

tains, is an incorrect record, there
fore it cannot be consistently ap-
proved by the Civil Service Commls-
sion, which had decided that they
are battalion chiefs and not captains

BradDer, the latter representing the
battalion chiefs, held a conference on

Assistant Attorney General Boggs

Wilson Asks Lansing
to Make Inquiry of
Sinking of Armenian

CORNISH. N. H., July 1.-President
Wilson had instructed the state de-
partment to make a full investigation
or the sinking of the Leyland line
steamship Armenian by a German
submarine and to keep him COM
pletely informed of all developments
He remained in his study during the
forenoon. in order to be in constant
touch With Washington
President Wilson declined to com
ment on the incident, and will await
further information before. decidin1
on the course of the American gov
ernment. He was from the start
anxious to learn whether the Ar
menian was under charter to the
British government and what was the
status of the American muleteers who
we're lost.
II was made known that he ex-
peeted Secretary Lansing to inform
him as early as possible of the inter-

a razor in Lincoln Park this after

He was seen about the park for a.

ER
N Stays Sentence
'Death Until
July 70.
sNOR'S ACTION
ALLOWS NEW APPEAL
klned Mans Only Hope Is
/ Review by Supreme
Court.

BANY, N. Y, July 1.-Charles
tker, sentenced to-die in the cleo
lc chair the week of July II for the
Murder of Gambler Herman Rosen-
ythal, was today granted a reprieve
until the week of July rs. Governor
Whitman granted the respite to en-
able the former New York police lieu
tenant to make a final appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.
The governors action probably
means that Becker will not die until
after the autumn term of the Supreme
Court If at all.
In explaining his action. the gov
ernor issued a brief statement.
He refused the request of Becker's
attorneys for communication of sem
tence, and also denied the request that
he appoint a commission to review
the Becker case and make recommen-
dations to him. Whitman'S statement
said offhand
Il deem 1t my duty to decline to ap-
point commission to further exam
inc into the Becker case, and feel that
| must deny the application for a
r6mmutation of sentence to imprison-
Inent for life.
Mr.. Manton is Of the opinion that
be has done all in his power for his
lient. and has asked for reprieve,
IN order that other counsel may have
ample time for preparation in their
efforts to take the case into the Fed
eral courts. Owing to my absence
Turing last week from the capital,
Lkausing delay, l think 1t is fair that
the extra time shouldfbe given and
! have granted a reprieve, postponing
execution of sentence to the week of
July 20
WASHINGTON. July 1.-According
to precedents of practice available
here, the Becker case could come be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States only by way of the Federal
(ourts in New York, where a consti-
utional question would first have to
pc raised. Then either the Federal
,ourt in New York or Justice Hughes,
ho has charge of that circuit, might
yeertify that there was ground for re-
view of a constitutional question in
the Supreme Court. So far as is
known, the mere application for re-
view would not act as stay of ex-
ecution.
