OPPOSITION TO
RIVER REGATTA
DURING JUBILEE
Finance Committee Gives Prop
osition a Setback-Monument
Cost Is Discussed.

Promoters of the plan to revive
amateur rowing races on the Passaic
river this year in connection with the
city celebration received a setback
today, when the executive and finance
committee of the Committee of One
Hundred went on record as being op-
posed to the idea. 1t was claimed
by opponents of the plan that the
river will not be in fit condition for
rs tia, and, furthermore, that IL
it, -tne event will not attract many
persons. 1t was also said that the
$1,000 which had been appropriated for
the proposed regatta can be devoted
10 better use in other ways.
The representatives OF the local
rowing interests stated their case at
the meeting and declared the Passaic
river is in good shape every spring,
and that a regatta such as has been
suggested for teh Memorial Day hoi-
day can easily be run off. 1t was
suggested to the rowing representa-
tives incidentally to learn If Princeton
University would accept an invitation
to send a crew here. The assurance
of Columbia University to compete in
the same event has been assured, 1T
was said IL Princeton Will come TO
Newark.
Joseph A. Carroll, of the Institute
Boat Club, and Peter j. OToole rep
resented the oarsmen. They are men,
hers of the exhibitions and athletics
committee. Mr.. O'Toole presented a
formidable list of reasons why the
regatta should be conducted,

MILK CRUSADE
PROCEEDS INTO
UNION HERDS
State and Local Authorities
Will Try to Eliminate
TubercuIar Cows.
Demands We're Only Postponed.

With the fear that an enormous
amount of dangerous milk from 6ss-
eased cattle is being shipped into
Newark constantly gaining strength
in their minds as more and more JUS
tiflcation for the alarm confronts
them, a corps of State and local health
experts today set out on the second
lap of a crusade to force the last dis

supply raw milk to the city.
Chief Chemist William q. Tice, of
the State Board OF Health; State Vet

Chief Inspector Samuel @. Sharwell,
of the food and drugs department of
the Newark Board of Health. made up
the party. Todays is the first per-
sonal appearance of Mr.. Tice upon
the scene. Reports transmitted TO him
have impressed him with the serious
ness of the situation, and he had
dropped all his other work at Tren-

the critical stage.

MINERS DECIDE
NOT TO SUSPEND
Recommendations of President
White Indorsed by Rising
Vote, 1000 to 800.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 26.-.
The United Mine Workers of America
in q. convention today decided not to
suspend work after the contracts
have expired, so long as negotiations
for new agreements are pending. A
rising vote taken after long debate
showed that 1000 of the 1900 dele
gates favored the proposition of nom
suspension recommended by Presi-
dent John T. White.
When discussion was refused on the
non-suspension policy of President
White, David Fowler, of Scranton,
Pa, urged the convention to indorse
the attitude of the miners president.
He said he believed the anthracite
operators are willing to make a new
agreement and that the workers will
get fair settlement. He also said
he believed that most of the hard
coal workers favored remaining at
work.

NEW COMPLAINT
MADE AGAINST
AUTO SPEEDERS
Superintendent Dugan, of Lin
coin Highway, Wants Motor
Police to Check Abuse.

William p. Dugan, superintendent
of the Lincoln Highway, wants the
Joint Hudson and Essex committee
in charge of the road to furnish a
couple of motorcycles for the patrol
men on the highway to check speed
ers on the thoroughfare. Superin-
tendent Dugan was at the Court
House yesterday to make his request
to the committee, which was sched-
together on account of the absence
of the Hudson county members.
There is considerable speeding on
the highway" said Mr.. Dugan, "es-
pecially in the early morning hours.
We stJp the speeders as best we can.
but we have no official knowledge of
the speed at which they are travel
ing, and consequently cannot make
complaints that would stand in the
courts.
"a couple of machines to follow the
speeding motorists so as to register
the speed of the automobiles, backed
up by several complaints, would. l
think, put a stop to all UNNECESSARY
speeding"
Another reform suggested by Mr..
Dugan is the coating of the bridge
gates on both the Hackensack and
Passaic river bridges with white
paint. Several times, according to
Mr.. Dugan, there have been narrow
escapes from serious accidents on ac-
count of the inability of autoists run
ming at a fair rate of speed to see the
gates until they are almost on top
of them.
The matter of the purchase Of the
motorcycles will be taken up by
Chairman Malta, of the committee,
with the Hudson county freeholders.

The storm of protest raised in the
United States and in Sweden. some
of the papers broadly hinted, has
cooled the ardor of advocates of the
blockade, If 1t has not had it's effect
upon the government. The newspa-

warlike utteranees of the Swedish
premier in his Riksdag speech yester-

MRS. MOHR TO
TAKE STAND IN
OWN DEFENSE
Woman Accused in Murder of
Physician to
Face Ordeal.

PROVIDENCE, r. T., Jan. 26.-At-
torney Cushing. Mrs. Elizabeth +.
Mohr's personal counsel, announced
at the opening of court today that the
murdered doctors widow will take
the stand today.
Mrs. Mohr's self control to date has
been almost mistaken. On only one
occasion, when n young assistant
attorneygeneral threw the crimson
stained clothing of her dead husband
on the floor of the court. has she
given way to tears. But even then
she recovered quickly and fifteen
minutes after she had been swaying
with sobs was chatting almost blithe-
ly with her counsel.
Captain George H. Monahan. Of the
Providence police, testified today that
he arrested Brown and that Chief
O'Neal told the prisoner he did not
have to talk, but that If he talked to
tell the truth. Brown told Chief
O'Neal, the witness said, that he had
been to Riverside visiting a family
named Doherty about o'clock on
the night of the murder, Doherty
had testified that Brown called at his
house about five minutes of 10 that
night.
Captain Monahan corroborated the
testimony of preceding witnesses rela-
tive to the alleged confession Of the
negroes. Brown and Spellman re-
peated their story, he said, when Mrs,
Mohr was brought in.
II told them there were newspaper
men present and that they could
talk to them if they desired" Mona
han continued.
"The reporters wanted to know the
motive Mrs. Mohr had for wishing her
husband killed, and Brown replied
that she wanted to get control of the
doctors property. Brown declared
that Mrs. Mohr had been after them
for three months to do the job"

TOO PERSISTENT
TO GET WAGES
Servant Was Offered Chance to
Settle and Finally Held on
Larceny Charge.

Helen Freeland, a negress, twenty
seven years old, who lives at 112
Newark avenue, Bloomfield, was so
persistent in trying to collect three
weeks wages as a servant that she
was summoned into the Second Pre-
cinct Court today.
Then her lawyer, Samuel A. Fisch
man, incensed Judge Mancusi-Ungar
by refusing to accept the courts sug-
gestions, and the woman was held in
$500 on a charge of larceny. She could
not furnish the bond and was locked
up, although it was conceded she had
not been paid the three weeks wages
she demanded.
Mrs. Fisher Finkelstein, of 262 High
street, it appeared from the testi-
mony, hired the woman as a domes-
tic on November last, agreeing to
pay her $19 a month. On December
5 the first months wages was due
and paid. That same day. Mrs. Fink
elstein said, $40 was missing, and

Joseph Byrnes, secretary of the

a meeting of the business agents to-

was passed at the State convention
which was held in Atlantic City last
May, which called for all contractors
coming from out of the State to hire
fifty per cent. of the men from the
union in whose jurisdiction they were
working, and also to pay the local
men the same rate of wage as was
paid to the men who were brought
In from the outside.
Mr.. Byrne stated that McNulty
Bros. had promised to abide by this
resolution and that they were given
until yesterday morning to make good

not do so the plasterers were called
out, following the general tie-up to-
day.
The local men state that the fifty
per cent. rule was not observed; that
the New York men were paid $3.50 for
the same work that the local men
were paid $500 and that the Newark

BERNSTORFF AND
LANSING RECAST
LUS|TANIA REPLY
Revised Draft With Satisfac-
tory Terms Will Be Sent to
Berlin for Approval.
RESULT OF CONFERENCE
AT STATE DEPARTMENT
Answer Expected Within a
Week-Agreement on Dis
avowal Seems Certain.

WASHINGTON, W Jan. 26.-The Lusi-
tania agreement was redrafted today
by Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, and Secretary Lansing,
to represent the view of tho United
States, and was forwarded to the
Berlin foreign office. Word of
whether the German government will
accept it in Its present tentative form
is expected in about a week.
After a conference between the
secretary and the ambassador, the
latter made a new tentative draft,
which includes all the contentious of
the United States. The last proposal
from Germany was understood to be
unacceptable to the United States
because it did not admit full liability
for the lives of all the neutrals lost
I'm the destruction of the liner, al
though the German government
agreed TO pay, as a matter of friend
ship to the United States. This gov
ernment contends the claims should
be paid as a matter of law and right.
If, as is intimated today, the new
draft is fully acceptable to the United
States, there is reason for believing
it will be acceptable to Germany, be-
cause Count Won Bernstorff Is known
TO be acting under wide latitude con-
ferred by his government for the
negotiations.
Semi official German predictions
preceding the conference were that
Germany and the United States
would get together on the question
by the end of next week, mo matter
what demands the United States
made For this reason it was be-
lieved that Bernstorff probably went
pretty far toward assuring com
pliance by Germany with the demand
for an unequivocal disavowal of the
Lusitania's sinking.
The most he could do, however, it
was agreed, would be to insist to his
home government that Germany do
this, receding from her position that
the torpedoing of the liner was not
illegal
