J. F. SHANLEY,
PROMINENT
NEWARKER,
IS DEAD
Pneumonia Claims Him
as Victim After
Brief Illness.
BISHOP O’CONNOR TO
OFFICIATE AT FUNERAL
Bishop McFaul, of Trenton,
Will Deliver Eulogy at
Obsequies Wednesday.
John F. Shanley, sr., one of New- j
ark’s leading and most honored eit>-j
sens, and head of the contracting firm
of J. F. Shanloy Company, died at his
home, 17 Washington street, at 6 o’clock :
thiB morning, after an illness lasting
only since Tuesday. All the membersj
of Mr. Shanley’s family were at his
bedside when death came. For several
days his condition had been critical
and last Friday he received holy com
munion and was anointed by Rev.
Father William E. Brennan, of St.
Patrick’s Cathedral.
Mr. Shanley suffered from an acute
attack of pneumonia, which came upon
him at Red Bank, while on his way to
Lakewood with Rev. Father James A
Reynolds, of Red Bank. Instead of
continuing his Journey Mr. Shanley re
turned to his home, and Dr. Daniel
Elliott, his brother-in-law, was put in
charge of his case. On Friday Mr.
Shanley’s condition became serious and
Drs. T. C. Janoway, of New York; Ed
ward J. Ill, and H. S. Martland were
called in. Frequent consultations were
held. The physicians decided that there
was little hope for the patient’s re
_ oovery. Mrs. Shanley and her ohil
dron were apprised of his condition.
Slater Recently Died.
Deeply grieved over the death of his
•ister, Mrs. Jane Elliott, who died Fri
day, December 8, Mr. Shanley wished
to leave the olty for a change of ecene
and a much needed rest. His sister's
death so affected him that hs was
peculiarly susceptible to pneumonia.
Mr. Shanley died exactly a week after
the funeral of his slater.
At 2 o'clock Saturday morning Mr.
Shanley had a change for the better
and for a short time hope was enter
tained for his recovery, but when he
had a relapse last night after 10
o'clook all hope was abandoned.
Although death was expected momen
tarily from that time on Mr. Shanley’s
wonderful combativeness and the
energy that marked his whole life
staved off death until this morning.
Mr. Shanley was a brother of the
late B. M. Shanley, who died March,
1800; of the late Mrs. Jane Elliott and
the late Mrs. Elizabeth McManus. He
is survived by a widow, Mrs. Cath
erine T. Shanley, who is a sister of
former United States Senator James
Smith, Jr., and four daughters and one

TELLS OF WILSON S
DELAY ON TRUSTS
Orange Man Before Senate Com = j
mittee Says Governor “Has
Done Nothing.”
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—''‘Fabulous
capitalization of corporations” is the
trouble with business, according to F.
W. Kelsey, a business man and eco
nomic student of Orange, who today
addressed the Senate interstate com
merce committee, which is investigat
ing the “trust" problem. The profit
of millions, he said, went into the
hands of promoters.
"Some call these promoters ‘captains
of industry;’ I call them ‘captains of
piracy,' ” declared JMr. Kelsey. He
advocated a stricter regulation of cor
porations than is in vogue in most
States.
Mr. Kelsey said he had sugested to
both former Governor Fort and Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey,
that New Jersey, being the home of so
many trusts which were creating
trouble, ought to make Its corporation
laws more strict.
He quoted Governor Wilson in the
matter a.s saying, ‘ Yes.”
“But so far he has done nothing,''
added Mr. Kelsey.

WILL ABROGATE RUSSIAN TREATY
Notice Now Served, Senator Says
PACT WITH CZAR WILL SOON BE ABROGATED
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.
It is unofficially announced that President Taft ha s served notice on Russia that the treaty of 1832 will be ab
rogated. It was said that the President s message to the S enate today would ask confirmation of his action.

Long Before Session Begins.
BULLETIN,
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18.—The Senate committee on (orelgrn relations de
cided to report to the Senate the House resoltullon. In modified form, for the
abrofrntton of the FinwMnn treaty. This means thnt the House vrlll be Included
in the action of abrogation. In a letter to the foreign relations committee
nnd In a message to tlie Senate President Taft today stated that he nerved
notice on Runsln of the abrogation of the treaty on December 18, Friday last.
The Senate nrnt Into session at 2 o’clock this afternoon to ratify the ac
tion of President Toil In notifying, on December 15, the Russian government
of the Intention of the United States to abrogate the treaty of 1892 with that
country.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.
WITH the definite, though unofficial, statement that President Taft
formally had notified Russia that the treaty of 1832 with that
country would be abrogated within the next two or three days,
the Senate committee on foreign relations today considered what form
the abrogation should take.
Two propositions were laid before the committee.
The fir., of thru nu thnt the President ali.uld officially proclaim the
I abrognttou. with rntlticeHon of hla (teflon by the Seonte.
The second nna that the abrogation should be ordered lu a Joint rraolutlon
! h, proponed by the Hodic. Three nai no thought, however, of ndopt'.iig <he Inn
KURtfe of the ltouae document.
Most members of the committee inclined to the belief that ihe President
should act. with the Senate alone and without regard to the House.
The oommitteo also dlaauesed at length the question us to whether or
not the abrogation of the treaty should be considered in open session of
the Senate, a* tt waa !n the House, or whether the discussion should be
behind closed <loor« in executive session. Until tills question was set
tled, it was declared no official statement would be made aa to the message
of the President on the aubjeot of abrogation.
A resolution satisfactory to the administration is said to have been
framed by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, a member of the foreign re
lations committee. This draft would briefly and simply declare the treaty
abrogated, on the ground that It had been become obsolete.
In any event, the United State* has until January 1 to notify St. Peters
burg of the termination of the treaty, effective January 1, 1913. The treaty
provides that notice shall be given on January of any calendar year, and that
the treaty shall oontlnue In effect twelve months thereafter.
Acci/dlng to the Russia* calendar. January 1 in that country is not until
January 13 In the United State*. Whether this would give the United States
twelve days more in which to act has not officially entered ini > consideration,
for it Is generally agreed that action will be taken before Congress adjourns
for the holidays on Thursday of this week.
Chairman Sulzer. of the House committee on foreign affairs, author of the
original resolution to abrogate the treaty, declared today that he did not
oppose any modification of the Houae resolution that the Senate might desire
to make. Russia has objected strongly to the terms employed In the Sulzer
resolution, which flatly (barged that country with having violated her treaty
pledges.
In a letter to Chairman Cuhom, of the foreign relations committee, the
President is believed to have dwelt at length upon the long friendship be
tween Russia and the United State*, and te have indicated that he would
not countananoe action by Congress whloh would be regarded as offensive.
The President Is also believed to have set forth in detail the view that
he could act in the matter without watting for Congress to take the initia
tive. The President initiates the making of treaties and Mr. Tal't Is under
stood to have declared that the executive also Is clothed with power to
Initiate the abrogation of treaties, asking in each event the approval of the
Senate. ✓
The greatest interest is manifested at the capital, and long before Hie
doors to the Senate galleries opened crowds were waiting admission, drawn
there by the expectation of a lengthy and spirited debate.
The gravity of tho situation was emphasized last nighl by the hold
ing of ft special cabinet meeting, lasting from 10 o'clock to midnight, to dis
cuss the admtniet rat ion's plan of action.
