CITY COUNCIL PLANS
. FOR PUMPING PLANT
Day Reynolds Succeeds Mr.. WOldenberg
Liquor Ordinance Passed, An
other on the Way

The city council met Wednesday
evening with Mayor Day in the chair
and Featherstone, Hale, Miller, Seeley
and Kugelman answered to the roll
call. City Attorney Nelson was pres
ent and Max Kringle was attending to
the duties of Clerk Brown, who is still
absent in the east.
Mr.. F. c. Humphrey, Of Spokane,
who represents Fairbanks, Morse &
Co., attended the meeting and consid-
erable time was spent in discussing
with him different types and sizes OF
pumps and engines to be used in the
proposed auxiliary water system. The
discussion resulted in Mr.. Barnum be-
ing engaged to make the proper sur
vey, taking levels and furnishing other
data necessary to prepare specifications
for the plant.
Ordinance No. ia was given its
final hearing and passed by a unani-
nous vote. This ordinance provides
penalties for the person who buys liq-
uor, carries it on his person or drinks
in public places. 1t also fixes other
penalties that tend to tighten the tolls
around those who are engaged in lille
gal traffic in liquor.
Police Judge Graham presented his
report on amount OF fines collected.
They amounted to $784.20. The re-
port was ordered filed.
The attorney was instructed to pre-
pare an ordinance giving the informant
fifty per cent of the fines collected in
bootlegging and gambling cases.
A motion was made and seconded
to make Day Reynolds the successor
Of Mr.. Woldenberg, who's death .oc-
CURED Monday night. 1t was then
moved to amend the motion and elect
Mr.. Blank Potter to fill the vacancy.
This lost for want of a second. The
original motion was then put and car
ried unanimously.
Joe Teshera, who has been acting as
chief OF police, was regularly appoint
ed to that Office. The meeting then
adjourned.

$50 in Two Gases for Selling
Liquor

Alma Maxwell and Dora Armstrong
were fined yesterday in Magistrate
Graham's court, each $50, for the un-
lawful sale OF liquor. The conviction
was obtained on the testimony of w. ].
Gordon and Allyn McDougal.
After court adjourned a companion
OF the women fined made an attempt
to assault w. j.. Gordon on the street,
striking at him with her handbag.
Marshal Teschera was called and placed
the woman under arrest. 1t appears
the two women fined laid the blame
for their arrest on Gordon and Nc
Dougal.

BOATS COOK ON
TRIAL CHARGED
WITH MURDER
State Will Not Ask First Degree
Verdict for Tugboat
Tragedy.

AS the sequel to drunken braWl
on the tugboat Winifred S. Cahill in
Newark bay November last, Thomas
Livingston. sixty-fvc years old, of 33l
East Ninth street, New York, the
boats cook, was tried today on a
charge Of murder before Judge Os-
borne and a jury in the Court of
over and Terminer According to u
statement made by Judge Osborne to
prospective iuryman at the begin
ming of the trial, the state would not
ask for q verdict of first degree
murder
Drink -crazed, Livingston is alleged
to have attacked John Gillen, fifty
five years old, of 2S Bowery, New
York, the assistant engineer on the
tugboat, inflicting a stab wound in
the abdomen that caused Gillen's
death a few hours later In the
brawl, Gillen, also drunk, is said 10
have used an axe on Livingstone S
head, giving him a wound that had
to be treated at the st. James Hos
pital.
There were few, if any, eye-wit-
nesses to the fight between the men,
il is said, and on that account the
State does not expect to make out a
case of first degree murder. One of
the talesmen called to serve on the
Jury said he was opposed to capital
punishment. The court informed him
that verdict requiring the death
sentence would not be asked, and
the juryman declared his willingness
to serve. He was excused, however,
by the defendants attorneys, Theo-
dore d. Gottlieb and w. r. Cros-
son.
The fight between the men had been
going on since the day before, when
both became intoxicated. on the day
of the murder, it is said, Livingston,
the cook, missed his false teeth from
the galley where he had placed them,
and accused Gillen of taking them.
The accusation was resented and the
two men were at loggerheads all of
the morning. At noon the sounds of
a scuffle were heard in the small
ca bin of the boat and the rest of the
crew rushing in found the men locked
in each others arms on the floor, Gill
len with an axe and LiviESston with
a knife.
The crime for which Livinssto0 was
indicted took place little more than
two months ago. Few murder cases
have ever come to trial so quickly in
this county in recent years. The few
witnesses to be called by the State
and the defense indicated at the out
set that the trial would not last
more than q day.

EXPLOSION IN E-2
HALTS USING OF
EDISON BATTERY
Navy May Suspend Further
Equipment Until Additional
Experiments Are Made.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Plans Of
the navy department for general
equipment Of submarines with the
new Edison batteries are halted, as
a result of the fatal explosion on the
If-2 at New York, officials said fur
ther experiments probably would be
ordered now in the navy yard or the
Edison laboratories before further
actual trials in a naval vessel. The
department was equipping one Of the
l. submarines with the new battery,
but orders were under consideration
to suspend work on the l. boat also
until the cause of Saturdays disaster
is learned.
Secretary Daniels said. in addition
To the naval boards inquiry now in
progress regarding the E-2, a special
investigating board of high official
experts may be named. The secre-
tary was also considering a new in
quiry into the general subject of sub
marine batteries.
Opinion of the new navy consulting
board is also TO be obtained as to
submarine battery troubles. With the
advice of these engineers and inven-
tors the secretary expects eventually
to evolve an entirely new type Of
submarine battery.
Department officials were frankly
puzzled today over the cause of the
E-2 explosion Waste hydrogen gas,
they explained, usually explodes when
| batteries are being recharged, but
those of the E-2 We're being dis
charged.
The fact that the E-2's batteries
were uninjured, experts said. does not
dismiss the theory Of "a gas explosion
| from them. 1t was pointed out as en-
| tirely feasible that waste gases from
| tho batteries might have ignited and
| the severe explosion would not neces-
sarily injure the batteries them
selves.

DANA MAY QUIT
AS DIRECTOR Of
C|TY'S MUSEUM
Librarian Ready to Demand
That Other Trustees Back
Up His Attitude.
QUESTION TO BE SETTLED
AT MEETING TOMORROW
Dana Faction Are Expecting
Clash With Murphy Faction
in Trustee Board.

John Cotton Dana, city librarian,
is prepared TO resign as director of
the Newark Museum if. at a special
meeting tomorrow, the trustees of the
Newark Museum Association does
not back him up in his stand against
the site of the proposed memorial
building, it was reported today. Mr..
Dana refused to discuss the situation
further than to say he expected some
thing to happen at the special meeting
tomorrow and that he would prob
ably have a statement to make then.
He would not affirm or deny the re-
port that his resignation is pos
sibility.
Former Governor Franklin Murphy,
who resigned as president of the mu-
scum association last spring, as the
result of differences with Mr.. Dana.
stated today he had received notice
of the meeting, as he is still a mem
Der of the board of trustees of the
association, and intends to attend,
but that he has no knowledge of what
the developments may be.
The special meeting call resulted
from letter sent out last week by
DR.. Henry H. Rusby, a member of
the association. Mr.. Rusby scored the
memorial building committee of the
Committee of One Hundred for its
selection of the Broad and Camp
streets site. and said: I'VE are now
informed that the same hastY and
arbitrary methods will be employed
for getting possession of the colleC-
tions that have been confided to our
care"
Approval of Dana Plan.
The intention of some members OF
the board is to commend Mr.. Dana nj
tOmorrow'S meeting, condemn tho
site selection, and to prepare for the
, interposition of all possible obstacles
i'm the path of housing the industrial
museum treasures in the new build
ing. The desire, 1t is said, is that
the present museum may continue as
distinct institution, instead of tho
i city being permitted to assemble to-
gether all its museum equipment ano
/ treasures under the one roof
! 1t Is known that other members
will attend the meeting in quite the
/ opposite frame Of mind, and thai
] opposition to the condemnation o
i the site purchased may possibly tie
Yelop to be the sentiment of only
! minority.
1--sFFa4re--1eport that Mr. Dana has hi
resignation ready is based on the pos
sibility of affairs taking this turn
! which would amount TO Il Reputation
/ of the director and his stand. Th'
old wound which had birth when tn,
+ controversy between former GoVernol
! Murphy and Mr.. Dana was in prog
| ress has not healed, according t.
! sentiments expressed by some trus
tees, and it is not impossible that the
climax of all past differences may he
reached at the special meeting. will
| the result being an alignment of tho
members in two distinct groups, will
Mr. Dana's resignation presented ol
withheld, according to the outcome.

CARRANzA MEN
TOLD AMERICANS
THEY WERE SAFE
Governor Of Chihuahua Gave
Watson Personal Passport,
Ell Paso Evidence States.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.=EVidencc
: collected at El Paso by state depart
ment agents indicates that Carranza
authorities at Chihuahua assured G.
r. Watson, head of the party of
Americans killed near Santa Ysabel
that no escort was necessary.
In that opinion, however, many Of
the Americans agreed, although they
had suggested to the authorities the
iadvisability of sending troops with the
party.
The advices further stated that the
CarranZa governor of Chihuahua gave
Watson a personal passport and that
the Carranza immigration authorities
in Juarez gave a general passport for
the whole Watson party. These de-
velopments are taken to point to re-
sponslbility of the Garranza govern
ment for not adequately protecting
the Americans.
Further discussion of the Mexican
situation was scheduled today in
Congress, but it was believed the de-
, bate would hinge upon the political
aspects of the administration whole
Mexican policy, rather than objection
to the handling OF the Santa Ysabel
atrocity.
State department officials indicated,
however, that they did not consider
the advices as being finally sufficient
TO determine the responsibility of the
earranza government, and further In
yestigation will be made.
Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE corpse
of General Jose Rodriguez, Villas 8
cavalry leader, alleged to be one of
i the leaders in the Chihuahua
massacre, was placed on public eX'
hibtion today in the yard of tho
Juarez customs house.
The gruesome show was intended to
prove that the Carranza government
was determined to punish the muir
dc:ers of Americans and foreigners.
A placard on the executed bandit
| leaders body announced that all
enemies OF the de facto government
would meet a like fate.
The death order was also carried
out when General Manuel Baca Wales
and Enrique Cisneros, with eight fol-
| lowers, were shot by Carranza firing
squad at Casas Grandes yesterday, il
was announced today.
Wales was known as Villas official
executioner. successor of the late
| General r. l.. Fierro, "the butcher"
Generals Rivas and Almeda, of the
Villa army, were executed by the
same firing squad that ended Rodri-
guez's life at MADEIRA Thursday.

committee said, when he heard the
result of the election in Maine:
"The result of the election In Maine
indicates sweeping Democratic vic
tory in November. 1 have never
claimed we would win Maine. because
we could not hope to carry such a
rock-ribbed Republican stronghold in
a presidential year. 1t would be prac-
tically impossible. We have mater
tally reduced the usually large Repub-
lican majority and that insures the
