ROOSEVELT MAYOR
 APPEALS TO COURT
To Have Sheriffs Charged With Manslaughter With
 drawn from Community

Roosevelt, N. J., Jan. 22.-Mayor
 Herman of Roosevelt invoked today the aid of the county court in an ef- fort to have withdrawn from the com
 munity the armed guards at the Lie-
 big Chemical plant, who have been charged with manslaughter in connec- tion with the shooting of nineteen strikers here last Tuesday.
 Twenty-two of the fifty guards, ar rested and later released under $2,- 900 bond each on charges of man
 slaughter, were doing duty at the plant today as deputy sheriffs. MT. Her
 man announced that three other guards, not previously arrested, will be charged today with manslaughter i in connection with the shooting. He i placed the situation before County
 Judge Daly. No action was taken for the present.
 Henry Carless, general counsel for
 the New Jersey Federation of Labor, 1 began today taking the dispositions of witnesses to the shooting on Tuesday. i MT. Carless asserted that he would ] place the dispositions before the pros ecutor and Governor Fielder and that l he would seek to have the grand jury return indictments charging murder instead of manslaughter.
 The funeral Of the two strikers who died from their wounds will be held
 tomorrow. The services will be held at the unions headquarters. Two
 brass bands. it was announced, will
 lead the cortege to the cemetery and
 the 900 strikers will be in the pro-
 cession. Preca autions have been
 taken by the authorities to prevent
 disorder

ALLOCUTION ON WAR
 DELIVERED BY POPE
Pontiff Holds Private and Public Con- sistory-Invites Faithful to Join
 in Expiating Functions

Rome, Jan. 22.-The Pope today held a private and public consistory, in the course of wh'ch he preconised several bishops and delivered an allo- cution dealing chiefly with the war.
 The Pontiff emphasized the neu- trality of the Holy See and alluded to his efforts to mitigate the disas- trous consequences of the conflict He urged his hearers not to heed those conditions which separated the faithful. but rather to consider those which made them brothers in the faith, and he called upon the invaders of territory of the enemy not to commit eXcesses.
 In conclusion the Pope invited all the faithful to participate in a great expiatory function to be held in Europe February and outside of Europe March 21. He said that on February ' he and the cardinals would take part in a special service at St. Peters,

RADICAL CHANGES IN
 STATE CONSTITUTION
Proposed in Draft Reported to Legis- lature by Commission Which Has
 Been Studying Question.

Providence, R. l., Jan. 22.-Radical changes are proposed in a draft of a revised state constitution, reported to the legislature today by commission that has been studying the question for nearly three years.
 The proposed instrument abolishes the property qualification now re- quired of electors voting for certain officials and on certain financial questions. It apportions representa- tion in the senate on a basis of popu- lation and enIarges the appointing and veto powers of the governor. 1t calls for biennial legislative. sessions with senators elected for four year terms
 Important changes proposed in iu- dicial procedure would permit a ver- dict in civil actions when nine or more jurors have agreed after vi1l hours deliberation and would allow the courts to place weight on the failure of a defendant in a criminal case to testify.

FIRE DOES LITTLE
 DAMAGE TO HOUSE
But Cries of Women That Baby Was Imprisoned on Top Floor Spurs
 Bremen On.

Cries from a couple of hysterlcal women that there was a baby impris- oned on the top floor of the three story frame tenement block at No. 135 Lafayette street that was dam- aged by fire shortly after $50 o'clock this morning, aroused the fremen to an extra effort and in a brief space of time they had showed a couple of ladders through the third story windows and were searching for the infant None was found how ever, and the cries of the women were but shouts of fear. The baby had been taken out before by it's mother.
 The fire originated on the first floor. occupied by a family of Italians and was confined to the kitchen and front rooom. A quantity of rags and clothing left hanging near the kitch- en range caught fire when the stove became red hot and in a short time tn e entire room was a mass of flames.
 When the fire department arrived some men were playing garden hose on the flames, helping to hold them in check. Although the kitch- en was we'll gutted it is not thought that the total damage will exceed $200. The house is owned by Sam GwOSdow.
