Jersey Officials Rebuked by Judge for
Seeking Rosoff.

NEW YORK, February 26 LP).-Su-
preme Court Justice Aaron j. Levy
today consented to the withdrawal OF
an application of Bergen County, N. j.,
authorities for an order directing Sam
uel Rosoff, wealthy subway contractor,
to appear in New Jersey for an exami-
nation in connection with the Staying
of Norman Redwood. union leader.
Justice Levy, at the same time, re-
buked the Bergen County authorities
for the manner in which they pro-
ceeded in endeavoring to have Rosof
appear in New Jersey for questioning.
Mr.. Rosoff had every sound rea-
son for not permitting himself to be
dragged to New jersey" the justice
said.
It want the record to show this
observation. I only know of one pro-
cedure by which witnesses can be
transferred between States in State
proceedings That is based on re-
ciprocal statute which had existed
between New York and New Jersey.
That statute was declared unconstitu-
tional in New Jersey. There Is no
such procedure in New Jersey at this
time"
Meanwhile "sandhogs" climbed down
into two subterranean workings Of
Rosoff today to signalize the end of a
weeks strike.
John H. Delaney, chairman of the
eity's Board of Transportation, said
5,4O0 men would go back to worS
under the strike settlement, the terms

HOUSE NEUTRALITY
BILL IS APPROVED
McReynoIds Measure Would
Give President DisCre-
tionary Power. =
b. the Associated Press.

BIZ the Associated PreSS.
Chairman McReynolds of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee said today
a bill giving President Roosevelt dis
cretionary power to decide whether
this country should sell raw materials
to belligerents in event Of future wars
would be brought before the House
week after next.
The measure was approved by the
committee yesterday by q vote OF
Is to 3.
Like the present neutrality law ex-
piring May l, the bill would set up a
rigid system of compulsory embargoes
against exports of arms, ammunition
and implements of war to belligerents.
1t would retain, too, existing bans on
loans or credit to warning nations.
There are two important new provi-
sions. however, and both face some
opposition in the House.
A few members object to the bills
provision for application Of American
neutrality policy to civil wars. such as
that raging in Spain.
MANY more OppuSc giving LLc FIcSi"
dent broad discretion to restrict ship
ments of materials. such as copper.
steel and cotton, which could be used
for war purposes.
This discretionary power Is the
major point Of difference between the
McReynolds bill and . neutrality
measure already approved by the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee.

was slain had been turned over to In

and that he had assigned two State
troopers and County Detective Chief
Henry B. Lockwood to search the car
for flngerprints today.
At her home in Teaneck, Mrs. Red
