FANS IN LINE At
SUNRISE TO BUY
TICKETS FOR GAME
Fine Weather Prevails for Peps'
Opening Clash in
Baltimore.
From a staff Correspondent.

BALTIMORE, April 10.--At an
early hour today Baltimore began its
opening day celebration in honor of
the Federal Leagues opening game
here today, with great enthusiasm.
At sun-up today at least fifty fans
were in line waiting. to purchase the
coveted pasteboards that would admit
them to the ball park, where the
Newark and Baltimore teams will
clash this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
By 10 o'clock the army of fans had
augmented steadily until at least 5000
were in line. The day dawned with
all of the glory and splendor of a
springtime morning. A fresh wind
swept up from Chesapeake bay, but
the breeze had evidently been tenn
pered during it's sojourn over the gulf
stream, and was warm and balmy.
The few rain drops which worried
the officials of the local club last
night were nowhere in evidence, and
the remnants of the heavy clouds
which caused the slight precipitation
disappeared in the mist that melted
fore the steadfast advances of Old Sol.
Early indications were that it would
be in every way an ideal opening
day. The Newark Peps had good
rest last night, retiring early to make
UP for the lost sleep of the day be-
fore, which was spent on the Pull
mans.
Most of Manager Phillips's men
were up bright and early and as
happy as kids on a circus day. They
are, for the most part, youngsters
and lust brimful of life on an oc-
casion like this. The fact that they
are champions and wearing their new
gowns for the first time today is not
worrying them. neither is 1t causing
any undue imitation of their heads.
Manager Bill Phillips had the oppor-
tunity to have the all important and
meaning name champions" inscribed
on their shirt bosoms, but with his
usual modesty, he was sat1sf1ed with
just plain Newark.
The Pops had a light MONDAY
luncheon shortly before IL and
then repaired to their rooms in the
Emerson Hotel and dressed for the
parade. The road uniforms are or
a natty, pearly gray with thin
blue silk stripe, red and white stock
ings and caps trimmed to match the
general color scheme.
Every brass band in the town and
in the suburbs had been chartered to
furnish music for the paraders dur
ing their line of march through the
principal thoroughfares of the monu-
mental city. 1t was expected that
fully 1000 would participate in the
pageant, including the state and city
officials and other notables.
P. T. Powers, the Newark magnate,
had not arrived here at noon, but he
was expected in a party due from
Newark early in the afternoon.
Every man of the squad reported in
perfect condition today at the roll
call, and Trainer Charles Huber's face
cleaned with satisfaction. The dope
that Kaiserling or Falkenberg would
pitch for Newark against Quinn, of
the Baltimore Terrapins, still held
good.

COTTON CLIMBS

Iation Surpassed-cotton
Sells Dollar Higher.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Scenes Of
wild excitement attended the renewal
of operations on the Stock Exchange
today. The trading floor was crowded
with members and the visitors gall
lery was lined with spectators, many
of them women in gay attire. Over
night buying orders and a further
stampede of the short interest lifted
prices throughout the list, gains ex-
tending from l to points in specu-
lative favorites and specialties.
u. S. Steel, the leader of yesterdays
spectacular movement, was again the
chief feature, opening with block
of 1900 shares at 571a to 57%, and
soon advanced to So. Bethlehem Steel
was the only prominent stock to hold
back, declining points. Rock Island
was the most erratic issue, rising al
most 4 points and soon losing all its
advance.
Trading during the first half hour
was on the largest scale for that
period in the recent history of the
exchange. Reces5ions, ranging from
a fraction to points, ensued soon
after the initial outburst on heavy
proflt-taking.

Warm Weather
Lures the Trout
From Their Lair
West Caldwell Man Reports
Catch of Fourteen in
Nearby Brook.

Now that the trout fishing season
has opened the lovers of the sport
will be pleased to learn that a good
trout stream can be reached from this
city in a comparatively short time
and with cost of but twenty cents.
This stream rises somewhere along
the Orange Mountains and flows into
Verona Lake. There are many spots
along this stream where these fish
can be found and are a good size.
So far this year two kinds of trout
have been caught. The regular brook
trout and what is known as the Cali
fornia brown trout, which are quite
large and give the angler a good fight.
An easy way to reach this stream is
to take Bloomfield car to Lakeside
avenue, Verona, and then walk south
about a half a mile. The brook will
be found just east of the road. with
nice banks to fish from.
A resident of West Caldwell caught
fourteen trout in the brook yester-
day, all good-sized fish.

NO AUTHORITY
FOR DEMOT|NG
THE FIRE CHIEFS
The Attorney-GeneraI's opin-
ion Said to Apply Also to
Police Officers.
CHARGES MUST BE
MADE AND PROVED
1t Is Claimed That Assembly
Bill 816, Now in Senate,
Grants Peculiar Powers.

Information received from Trenton
yesterday and published in yester-
days Evening Star had it that the
encouragement, to whom the mat
ter was referred by the Civil Service
Commission for legal direction, had
rendered an opinion that the Newark
Board OF Fire Commissioners had no
lawful right to denote the five bat
TALON chiefs, who were recently re-
duced to captaincies, the gist of the
opinion being that the men could
not be denoted without charges hav-
ing been made and proved against
them.
The officers reduced are Thomas s.
Reilly, Charles Storch, James Fagen,
Michael j. Durkin and Cornelius
Smith. These men are now doing
captains duty, pending a decision of
their appeal to the Civil Service Com
mission. The Office of battalion chief
was created by statute.
1t was further said that the attor-
ney-general holds that the chiefs
cannot be denoted without the office
of battalion chief as a whole being
abolished.
Or the commissioners could try the
men on charges of some substantial
kind, and if the charges are proved,
denote or dismiss the men from the
department, whichever course might
be determined upon. Frank e. Brad
ner, of Newark, is counsel for the
men in the appeal, while City Counsel
Spaulding Frazer appears in the case
for the commissioners. The chiefs
were reduced in rank on the plea of
economy"

TRUST COMPANIES
WILL MAKE TEST
OF FEDERAL LAW
UzaI H. McCarter Tells Plans
to Define National Bank
Provisions.
QUESTION OF INVASION
OF TRUST BUSINESS
Contest in Courts May Delay
Matters for About a
e.. Year.


All doubt as to what course will
be followed by the trust companies
Of the country In regard to that Sec
ton of the Federal reserve act, which
permits national banks to do a trust
business, was settled today, when
Uzal HI. McCarter, president of the
Fidelity Trust Company and chair
man of the executive committee of
the trust company section of the
American Bankers Association, an
nounced that the matter is to be
taken into the courts as speedily as
possible for the purpose of settling
the constitutionality of the provision
in question.
That provision is section K of arti-
Gle II of the reserve act. 1t provides
that upon application and with the
approval of the Federal Reserve
Board, national banks may act as ex-
ecutor of wills. trustees of estates,
registrars of stock, ETC., when the ex-
ercise of such functions is not in con-
travention of the laws of the States
in which these institutions are doing
business. In this State, as in others,
the question as to whether or not the
assumption of trust powers by ma
tional banks would be in contraven-
ton of State laws is in doubt, and
here and elsewhere, legislative bills to
correct that situation have been In
troduced.
In this State, however, the bill has
not been finally acted upon. 1t was
taken up recently In the Senate,
where it was decided that, instead of
making it a law, 1t would be better
to refer the whole matter to q COM
mission, consisting of two senator's
and three assemblymen. That COM
mission was provided for in a con,
current resolution which has not
yet been considered by the House.
Whether the House adopts 1t OF not,
1t is not likely that anything in the
way of a law on the subject will go
matter will probably remain unsettled
for at least year. In view of that
fact, 1t is not thought likely that any
national bank In New Jersey wili at
tempt to take advantage of the re-
serve act and do trust business.
That it is argued. would beiA.s-
suming q double risk In the first
place the State might not irdorse the
reserve act provisions, and in the sec
ond place, even If that were done, the
United States Supreme Court may
say the section is unconstitutional

HAYES WILL TO
Be INTERPRETED
BY THE COURTS

Ambiguous phrases in the will of
Alice w. Hayes, who died in this city
ON March %, 1914, leaving real and
personal property in this city and
elsewhere throughout the State, esti-
mated to be worth several hundred
thousand dollars, have raised a doubt
in the minds of her executors as to
her intent in framing the instrument.
Confusion as to the exact intention
of Caroline d. Hayes and her daugh-
ter, Alice w. Hayes, relative to the
final disposition of their estates now
threatens to invalidate the bequest
to the city of Newark of property
known as Hayes Park" or Hayes
Square," at Avon and Clinton ave-
nues, and the adjacant property,
bounded by Elizabeth avenue, Clin-
ton avenue, Wright and Bismark
streets.
Other bequests may also be held up.
These include one of $4,000 to the
New Jersey Historical Society, as a
memorial to her father, the late David
A, HAYES, "to be invested and kept
as a fund separate and distinct from
other monies and to be called the
David A. Hayes fund.- the income
derived therefrom to be used In such
a way as may be deemed best by the
trustees of said society"
Another bequest is $1,000 to the
Babies Hospital of Newark to endow
a bed, to be called the MARY Hayes
Pennington Bed" in memory of her
niece, Mary Hayes Pennington.
In order to clear away what they
term as doubts and difficulties which
have arisen in their minds" Freder-
ick f. Guild and Alfred F. Skinner,
executors and trustees under the will,
have appealed to Chancellor Edwin
r. Walker to decide the legal ques-
tions which are now tying up the
estate and preventing a distribution
to the heirs.
Another twist is given to the
tangled legal points involved by the
will of the late Howard w. Hayes.
layer and brother to Miss Hayes and
Mrs. Pennington. He married after
making q will in favor of his sister,
the late Alice w. Hayes, and added a
codicil, leaving his entire estate to his
widow, Mary Vanderpool Hayes.
daughter of the late Eugene Wander
pool. The will of Mary Abbott Hayes
bennington also forms a portion OF
the brief submitted to the court by
the executors. She is survived by her
husband, Louis Pennington

Showers, With Partly
Cloudy Weather, Is
Prediction for Sunday

Partly cloudy weather tonight and
tomorrow, with probable showers and
a slight drop In temperature inland
were the indications seen by the
forecaster at noon today. The tenn
perature then was 67, a rise of nine
teen degrees from the low mark of
the night, and there was a three
mile wind from the northwest. The
wind probably will shift into the
south tonight and then swing back
to northwest and become fresh to-
morrow.
The highest temperature of the
week ending at midnight Friday
was 70 and the lowest 28. The aver
age for the week was almost 46,
which was ten degrees higher than
the average for the week before and
eleven degrees higher than the aver
age for the corresponding week last
year.
