proper grounds for filing a bill in
the Court OF Chancery. asking that

REFUSE JOBS To. .
Z OUSTED MEN
Report Says Sheriff May Be
Impeached If Men Are Not
ReinStated.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 16.-
The continued refusal of Sheriff Ell
mer Z. Wyckoff TO reinstate CALVIN
Rose and Joseph Russo as court
constables in the face of the fact
that the supreme court has ordered
that the two men be reinstated. IS
creating considerable interest in this
city. The men who are Democrats
were outsted by Sheriff Wyckon,
when he took office. One of the men
is an ex-soldier and the other an ex-
enlpt fireman, and they took the
matter before the supreme court
with the resultthat the court ordered
Sheriff Wyckoff to reinstate them:
The order was served on the snerli
some days ago, but he has refused
to place them. claiming that ne mas
no room for them.
Edwin Hayes. who represents the
men, has given Sheriff WyckoIt untiI
this afternoon to find places Tor tne
men and reinstate them or he VIII
go before Supreme Court Justice
James j. Bergen and ask for writ
t mandamus.
The talk of those who are well
posted in the workings OF the su-
preme court is that the court will
not tolerate a refusal in carrying out
one of its orders and that If Sheriff
Wyckoff continues to disregard the
ruling. impeachment proceedings
may be begun. Rose is resident of
South River while Russo resides In
this city.
Thomas Howley. an ousted court
constable. who first west before the
supreme court, was reinstated on
order of the court as he was an ex-
empt fireman. Howley was off for
a period of seven or eight mon MS
and when reinstated the county had
to pay his back salary amounting to
500 a month.

program of the American delegation
was referred yesterday adjourned at
noon today. Various phases of the
American plan were taken under
consideration by the individual ex-
perts for each power preparatory to
further committee discussion later.
The committee will reconvene to-

China's Principles
China's general principles for set
tlement of the Chinese phase of the
Far Eastern problem was understood
to have formed the basis of the dis
cussion today at the first meeting Of
the heads of delegations of the nine
powers.
1t was stated IN Chinese circles
that Minister Csge OF China's delega-
ton was not prepared to present his
concrete proposals but would adopt
their general program to develops
ments at today's meeting in connec-
tion with the views Of rfe- Uthef
powers. The crux of the Chinese
problem, 1t was said by the Chinese,
was the question OF control by the
Japanese of Manchuria and Mongo-
liza, these -wo provinces being con-
sidered by the Chinese as INSOFAR
able. 1t was emphasized that any
abandonment of China's sovereignty
or economic control in the two prov
inces would be cantamount to the
abandonment of their insistance on
preservation of China's territorial
integrity.
Limit for Submarines.
British naval authorities in Wash
ington have suggested 250 tons as the
limit of size for submarines it was
learned today. That would repre-
sent a type of craft not now existing
in the first line of the American
navy. II would go back TO the days
OF the Grampus. the type the Viper
and the Carantula now carried ON
navy lists at the A-3, AS, B-1 and
B-3.
These boats are the Oldest in the
navy and are included in the second
line group more as a type of self
propelling. floating mine for harbor
defense.

ton that no impediment should be
