MURDOCH SEES ! .R.
 REPUBLICAN CHOICE
Says Roosevelt Will Also Receive
 Nomination Of ProgressiVes

New York, April 7.-Victor Mur- dock, of Kansas, chairman of the progressive national committee, con- ferred with George w. Perkins here yesterday and brought an enthusiastic report of Colonel Roosevelts strength for the republican presidential nomi- nation as he found it on a recent trip through practically all the states east of the Rocky mountains.
 T believe that Colonel Roosevelt Will be nominated at both the republi- can and progressive conventions" said x-Representative Murdock. The sentiment of the people will bring about that result
 Twill the progressive convention nominate Roosevelt if the republican convention fails to do SOP" MT. Mur- dock was asked.
 'I can't conceive of the progressives doing anything else" he replied with a laugh.
 '"The change in the sentiment for Colonel Roosevelt is most surprisjng," continued the progressive chairman. When I came east from California nine months ago, where it was then at the peak, I found it diminished the further east you came until in this very weak. The question of prepar- edness has converted the east and is rapidly converting the middle west. The Roosevelt sentiment now is strongest on the Atlantic seaboard."

 Hidson said he had worked for many years in the naval dock yards at Sydney and had been saving money for a long time in order to make the trip. His brother, Samuel Pratt Hidson, was prominent in Paterson life, and his funeral, on February 4, 1880, was attended by the mayor and council.

SCHILLER A MOVIE
 ARTIST WOULD BE
Offers to Re-enaCt Capture Of
 MatOppo for the Films

New York, April 7--Having rivall- ed Capt. Kidd, Ernest Schiller, or Clarence Reginald Hudson, as the only pirate in captivity sometimes calls himself, longs for the laurels of Charlie Chaplin. After being held I'll $25,00 bail by United States Com missioner Houghton yesterday on a warrant calling for his removal to Delaware, Schiller announced that any enterprsing moving picture pro moter who put up bail for his could enjoy his exclusive services.
 Schiller said he was willing to re- enact for the movies the entire Ma toppo incident in which he took British ship and it's crew of sixty at the point of a revolver. He said he would even show how he confiscated all the captains liquor and then add ed insult to injury by forcing the disgruntled skipper and his first mate to drink to the health of the Kaiser.
 Notoriety PIeascs Prisoner.
 All along Schiller has appeared pleased with the notoriety he has been receiving and has allowed his captors to take him wherever they wished. He was so docile in facr that most of the officials who had him in charge were inclined to dis count the Matoppo story. Yesterday, however, the young man developed an unexpected Obstinacy and refused to allow the authorities to send him back to Deleware on the piracy charge without a good legal fight To this end he engaged Joseph w. Kel- Ter, former Deputy State Attorney General as his counsel
 MT. Keller demanded a full hear ing of all the charges against his client, but asked for delay of a week. Assistant United States At- sent to such an adjournment, say ing that the Attorney-G General was anxious for speedy disposal of the case. Commissioner Houghton colu- promised by granting an adjournment until tomorrow morning. Then, as no moving picture operators camc panting in with the requisite S25,0OO bail and the additional premium Of $500 in cold cash, Schiller was led back to the Tombs until such a time as the slow witted moving picture men should come to a realization of what they were missing.
 It was apparent from what took place at the hearing that Schiller'S defence will be that his taking of the MatoppO was an act of warfare ra- ther than piracy and that instead Of being a Long John Silver" he was a miniature Won Tirpitz.
 George Haller and Otto Mileder, who were arrested by the police in with Schiller's alleged at tempt to blow up the British steam ship Panmonia, were arraigned in Jefferson Market police court yester- day and held on a short affidavit until Saturday, when they will be re- arraigned.

tow of the tug Seguin, and the work

Stone & Cooper wharf. The tug drop

where she will remain until the coal
has been taken out of the barge. when
she will tow her to Bath on her way
back to her hailing port. Owing to the
lateness of the season and the liability
of the river to be closed by Ice should
a cold snap set in, there will be no
stop in the work of discharging the
barge until the last bucketful has

trio lights have been installed at the
coal wharf SO that the work can be
carried on night and day.
