Writer Contracts Fatal Cold
AT Friends Funeral
AGED MOTHER IS
SERIOUSLY I'LL

Harlow Hurd Curtis, aged 4e years,
brother OF Chancellor Charles N.
Curtis. died at the Delaware Hospital
at O'Clock this morning Of pneu-
monia Mr.. Curtis had been IN but

Thursday Of this week pneumonia

hospital. where he died this morn
ing.

well-knOwn Curtis family that has
been prominent in the social and busi-
ness life Of Newark for more than
half a century. He is a son OF Mrs.
Harriet l.. Curtis. who is reported to

Mrs Delaware Clark. He was un-

made these possibilities more omin'
Gus.
The official German statement re-
counting that the missing Yarrow-
dale with more than 450 souls aboard
had been brought into harbor as
prize'-with a number OF neutral
prisoners-gave rise to a graver con-
Germ than anything that has happened
IN months OF grave ups and downs Of
critical relationship. OF course the
situation thus far is one OF specula-
ton. This government does not know
that Americans are among the pris-
oners, but It is possible some are thus
held.
Germany explained the neutrals had
been prisoners In cases where they
had taken pay for employment on
armed enemy vessels.
J This involves broad questions OF ar

ing so far as to make such subjects
I prisoners Of war.
In the light OF such an enormous
problem. authorities here felt none
too easy over possibilities today. They
( had noted carefully. too. that Ger
mans again are preaching broader use
OF submarines and they have checked
up on the growing tonnage that the
sub-sea raiders take.
The whole problem is tied up, also
with the peace situation. Insofar
as officials reveal they regard Ger
many as likely to go even more Wig
orously into the war than in the past
because of the Entente reply to the
Wilson note
German sources say il is unbeliev-
able that Germany's submarine war
fare will be so eN, ~dcd as 20 in
( volve America. In answer 10 this.
American authorities say th-y broad
er warfare very likely could not avoid
infringing on American rightn.

STRIKE Cases HINGE ON
WHAT IS MISCONDUCT

Edward P. Whittlock and Otto An
drick we're again before City Court
this morning on the charges Of disor-
derly conduct, growing out Of the
trouble at the plant Of the American
Vulcanized Fibre Company, where
they were doing picket duty in con-
nection with the machinists' strike.
The case was continued until Monday,
January 20.
]. Frank Ball, counsel for the de-
fendents, argued that no evidence
was given to support the counts
against the men in the charges heard
in the court yesterday.
Assistant City Solicitor Lynn ar
gued that the count OF ''uttering sour
rulOusly Why do you take another
mans job?' and 'Scab shop" was a
potent count, as it brought contempt
upon the workmen in the plant to
passersby.
The counts Of disorderly conduct
by using loud talk, by using abusive
and insulting language and by often
sive outcries, have been abandoned by
the State. The counts still held
against the men are: Using certain
profane words, uttering scurrulously
"scab shop" and "why do YOU take
another mans Job 2" and following
and annoying George Russe and War
rem Russo.
The decision in the case will lie in
what really does constitute disorderly
conduct.

IN STATE SENATE
Alfred |. DUPONT Stands by
"iiOld-0utS" in Situation
in Legislature
Expect DEMOCRATS TO
ELECT BARNARD soon

"I will live long enough IL it takes
162 years 20 defeat the Republican
organization Of this State"
This iG a statement quoted as made
by Alfred DUPONT, leader Of the
so-called Independent movement, when
the seven Republican State Senators
held o conference with him yesterday
IN this city relative to the Senate
deadlock. Mr DUPONT failed to ex-
plain just why he had fixed on l62
years TO carry out the scheme OF

call on Mr.. DUPONT were: Alden r.
Benson chairman Of the Republican
State committee; former Governor
Simeon S. Pennewill and City Solicitor
Daniel o. Hastings. The three did
not call on Mr. DUPONT, however. Ed
ward G. Bradford, Jr., brother-in-law
OF Alfred l. DUPONT was present at
the conference with Mr.. DUPONT and
the seven Senators. The Senators said

Pont that he is simply an independent
voter and not even so-called inde-
pendent Republican.
Mr.. DUPONT praised the stand OF the
three Senators. Barnard, Frazier and
Webb. who are holding up the or
ganization of the Senate. and also re-
marked that J. Frank Alice, Benjamin
A Groves and DR.. Caleb r Layton,
insurgent leaders, have been loyal to
him and that he will stick to them.
The seven Republican Senators
have decided 10 vote as they have
been-fOr majority rule-and not
make any move whatever to check
the election of Senator Barnard as
president protein by the Democratic
Senators, if the latter desire to form
that combination. The seven Re
publicans do not propose TO form any
combinations with Democrats.
Senator Harvey Honecker, who Is
the selection Of seven OF the ten Re

the following statement today as being
