Fifty of Unemployed Army
Storm Office of Civil Ser
vice Commission.
More than fifty unemployed men
besieged the office of the Civil Ser
vice Commission in the City Hall
early today. They demanded that
their names be certified as eligible
for employment on the Peddle street
grading job.
The commission notified 118 civil
service laborers to report for work
yesterday on the Peddle street job.
Of this number only fifty appeared.
The men who called at the civil
service office today demanded that
they be put to work as substitutes
for thp men who were notified and
failed to appear yesterday. Some in
sisted on knowing why they had not
^ been notified to appear for work.
Edward Redler was among those
.who appeared at the office this morn
ing. He is said to be the leader of
the army of unemployed and has act
ed as their spokesman. He said his
wife gave him a severe reprimand
because his name had appeared in
the newspapers as among the missing
at the Peddle street grading job yes
terday.
He wanted to know if there was
any possible chance of his being put
to work. The clerks In the civil ser
vice office informed Redler and the
others that each one would be notified
in turn in the order that their names
appeared on the eligible lists.
The clerks explained that there
were four or five different lists rep
resenting the work in the various city
departments. A number of men were
taken from the head of each list until
the desired number had been secured,
the clerks explained to the waiting
men.
, Several of those who appeared at
the civil servioe office today declared
that they had reported for work yes
terday on the Peddle street job. They
had been refused because their names
did not appear on the list of names
that were sent out, they said.
It was explained to them that there
were about 800 names on all the Hats.
Each name was certified in turn as
tt stood on the list. An equal num
ber of names are certified from th^
head of each of the lists. If all the
lists become exhausted and there are
atlll vacancies to be filled, then the
city can put unregistered men to
work. The men were instructed that
they would be notified as soon as
;f.heir names were reached on the list.
* Another list of names is being pre
pared. The men on this list will be
notified to report for work next week
some time, It is declared.

FARMERS 10 HOLD
Declare They Have Been Dis
criminated Against by Market
Committee of City.
An Indignation meeting will be held
tonight at Mulberry and Market
streets, by the farmers who sell their
products at the Centre Market. They
declare they are treated unjustly In
being forced from their marketing
square. Everyone of them maintain
that some provision should be made
in the planning of the new market
for the convenience.
Herman Reuben declares he repre
sents 76 per cent, of the grangers
who market their produce in this j
city. He said there would be some i
definite action taken at tonight's
meeting. The farmers have been
threatening to buy a plot of ground
in Harrison and market their wares
there If they are not given local
recognition.
A delegation of the farmers called
on Mayor Haussllng yesterday to en
list his aid. He declared he would
do all in his power to see that the
men were treated fairly. Mr. Reuben
said today:
"We do not know Just where we
stand," he added. "During the past
several weeks the members of the
market committee have promised, to
give us an Idea as to where we are
to assemble, but so far there has been
no information received."
Mr. Reuben said that If the people
of Newark and vicinity desire that
the cost of vegetables should soar
higher the market committee should
keep the farmers from a place to
dispose of their products.
On Tuesday night a committee from
the farmers met the market commit
tee. After the session a report was
prevalent that all differences were
"patched up.” This was denied yes
terday by Mr. Reuben and his as
sociates.
According to the statements orveu
ben, Alderman Curran told the farm
ers he would do all in his power to
bring about the changes as advocated
by the farmers, but to date no ap
parent action has been taken.
About twelve of the leading farm
ers at the Commerce street market
held a conference on the subject. All
were loud In their criticisms of the
market committee.
Rudolph Lotz, Frank Berger and
It. C. Conradi, other farmers, backed ,
up Reuben’s statements.
As a result of the present condi
tions, it seems that the farmers may
be turned out of their present quar
ters without many days’ notice, and
cannot look for any one place to dis
pose of their vegetables.
SHAPIRO 10 BE
Newark Doctor, Convicted of
Causing Girl’s Death, to Fight
Prison Sentence.
Dr. Nathaniel J. Shapiro, convicted
ten days ago of causing the death of
Miss Rose Lebowits, 240 Prince street,
in February, 1913, as the result of
performing a criminal operation, will
be brought back to Newark probably
tomorrow. Ho was sentenced a week
ago Monday to serve not less than
five or more than fifteen years In
State’s prison, but since then an ef
fort to appeal the cast has been
made.
Shapiro was taken to the State pris
on yesterday by officers of Sher
iff Monahan. The sheriff’s office had
not been notified by Frank M. Mc
Dermit, counsel for Shapiro, that a
writ of error had been sworn out in
an effort to obtain a new trial for the
convicted man.
It Is the custom of the sheriff's of
fice to take prisoners to Trenton about
a week after they have been sen
tenced and not knowing that a writ
of error had been sworn out in the
Shapiro case, this routine was fol
lowed.
Mr. McDermit appeared before
Judge Martin today and explained
the situation to him. At the same
time the lawyer presented an order
calling on the warden of the Trenton
prison to return Shapiro to the cus
tody of the sheriff of Essex county.
Shapiro will probably be brought
back to this county tomorrow, at
which time steps will be taken to
have him released on bail, pending the
result of the application for a new
trial.
G
Says N. Y. and Washington Ad
minstration Will Soon Be
in Full Harmony.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Governor
Glynn returned to Albany today, con
fident of the support of President
Wilson in his plans to reorganize the
Democratic party in New York
State. He carried, also, personal as
surances of good-will from Mayor
Mitchel.
"I think,” said Governor Glynn,
summing up the little he had to say
about his conference in Washington
yesterday with the President and
Chairman McCombs, of the Demo
cratic National Committee, "I think
that from a political viewpoint the
State administration at Albany and
the national administration at Wash
ington will be found in full har
y.”
e plans which he laid before the
President provided for reorganization
of the party in the State, a new chair
man of the State committee, and ef
forts to put the party in fighting trim
for the next State campaign.
The governor declined to discuss
the fight against Charles F. Murphy
and Tammany Hall, but he left no
doubt of his wish to bring about a
complete change in the present com- ,
plexlon of his party. “The Presi
dent,” he said, “approved of my plan
of action. I had a very satisfactory
talk with him.”

Make Him First Victim of New
Campaign of Molesting
Public Men.
LONDON, Feb. 10.—The militant
suffragettes made a strong effort to
day to prevent the Bishop of London
from attending the opening session
of the House of Lords, of which he
is a member. They made him the
first victim of their new campaign
of molesting public men. Their ire
was particularly directed against the
bishop for his alleged white-washing
of the government in his report on
the prison treatment of suffragettes.
The bishop’s residence In St.
James’s Square, was picketed early
in the day by the women. Two of
them acted as sentinels on the door
step. Two other women, Miss Dun
lop and Miss May Richardson, then
tried to gain access to the bishop,
but the house door was slammed in
their faces.
Little knots of spectators mean
while stood outside, enjoying the
scene and awaiting the result of the
bishop’s exit from his temporary
prison.
Along the route from Buckingham
Palace to the House of Lords, the
authorities took the strictest precau
tions to prevent any attem-'* on the
part of the suffragettes to break up
the procession or reach the king
with a petition.
AGAINST MANNING
(Continued from First Foie.)
for Mrs. Garrabant, but Acting Judge
Oehring refused to accept his bond.
Mmining’s Story.
After Manning's arraignment yes
terday he consulted with his counsel
in police headquarters, to whom he
told the story of his movements from
the time of his wife's murder Friday
afternoon until his arrest.
After this conference Mr. McDer
mit told Manning’s story as follows:
"At noon Friday I stopped at the
hotel of Casper J. Dries, in Verona,
near my sister’s home, and had a
dfink of gin. Going from there to
Mrs. Garrabrant's for dinner I met
Hazel, and she appeared to be
nervous and hysterical. When I
kissed her she detected the odor of
liquor and Instantly flew Into a rage,
slapping me In the face. She never
drank herself and was always op
posed to my drinking.
"After dinner I took her to the home
of her aunt’s (Mrs. J. Hodge, in
Bloomfield), and returned to the ga
rage. During the trip nothing was
said concerning any thoughts of mur
der. At 3 o’clock a friend by the
name of Swlnson and I went to Dries’s
and played pinochle there until 6:20
In the evening, when 1 started for my
sister’s home. As I entered the door
my sister greeted me with:
" ’Something dreadful has happened.
Hazel Just came In and told me she
had killed Harriet.’
“At the time I did not give the re
mark any thought, attributing it to
an hysterical exclamation due to the
nervous condition of Hazel earlier In
the day and the temper she had been
in. Swlnson was with me and to
gether we escorted Hazel to her
aunt's and there left her, Swlnson
and I going to the Edison factory
where I was endeavoring to sell sev
eral machines. We were there until
10:30 when we left and I went direct
ly home, retiring at eleven o’clock.
About half an hour later I was
awakened by the detectives who
searched the house for Hazel.
Didn't Believe Story.
"I told them where she was and
accompanied them to Mrs. Hodge’s
home. We were both brought to po
lice headquarters In Newark and
there questioned separately. At that
time as I said before I did not be
lieve the Btory of the shooting told
me by my sister, and for this reason
told Captain Tulte and the others
there that I knew nothing of the
murder.
‘‘After they released us wo walked
to Market street and there boarded
a trolley car for home. On the trip
back Hazei appeared to be quiet and
natural. When we spoke of our ex
perience at the detectives’ headquar
ters she remarked:
’’ ‘Isn't It peculiar that they want
ed to question me about the death of
your wife. Why I know nothing
about It ’ I thought then she was
telling the truth.
"We had arranged to visit the home
of a friend to Inspect a recently ar
rived baby the following morning
and as we left the house after the
visit Hazel asked me for some money.
I gave her a dollar. This was evi
dently used by her to buy the poi
son. At that time I had no Idea of
her Intention and later when Inform
ed she was 111 I still did not suspect
the truth.
"Returning to her, I picked her up
In my arms and carried her to my
car. I suggested taking her to the
home of my sister, but a physician
who had been summoned advised the
hospital. As we started I asked her
what was the trouble and she an
swered that she had acute Indiges
tion. During the trip the physician
found the box of poison tablets and
the letter addressed to me and gave
them to me.
"I had no opportunity to open the
letter until after we had arrived at
the hospital, and I then only read
the first few lines. They were, ‘Dear
Charlie, I have killed your wife.’ One
of the doctors then took charge of
the letter and I have not seen It
since.
“It was there In the hospital that
I first heard Hazel tell of tho mur
der, and until then I had not be
lieved It.
"Regarding the story that It was
my revolver, It Is true that the
weapon came from the garage, but it
was not what you would call mine.
Chief Gallagher had told me that a
number of magneto thieves were
about and I told my night watchman
to get the gun for protection. He
purchased It about three weeks ago
and, as far as I knew, It was In the
desk In my office."
Manning returned to the habits or
his babyhood days this afternoon
when he was forced to eat a dinner
of porterhouse steak and French fried
potatoes with his fingers.
Manning, who wanted something
more sumptuous than the regular
fare fed to the prisoners, was allowed
to send to the store of James Robin
son, at 21 Summer avenue, for his
dinner. When the dinner arrived at
the precinct, Lieutenant Peter J. Fal
lon refused to allow a knife or fork
to enter the prisoner’s cell. Doorman
Van Ness obligingly cut the steak
and potatoes into small pieces and
Manning ate them with his fingers.
FLAW IN JURY ACT;
MUST BEREPEALED
Someone Changed the Date and
Legislature's Pains Co for
Naught.
TRENTON, Feb. 10.—The validating
aet passed by the Legislature last
week to keep Juries drawn under the

Some one changed the date of the
approval of the Fielder act from
May 2? to May 29, the latter date be
ing the approval of the chancellor
sheriff law.
Governor Fielder today Issued the
following statement about the mat
ter:
"An error has been discovered In

which are to serve until the machin
ery of the chancellor-sheriff act can
be set In motion. The error is found
In the statement of the date of the

says an attempt to draft the details
of a satisfactory compromise on thie
basis will be made upon the return
of the two managers to GermWiy.

to such an extent that some of1 them
would throw tacks on the base paths
when Farrell reached first. It was
the Intention of those who strewed
the tacks to prevent Farrell sliding
Into the bases, but he would disregard
the tacks If necessary to get around
the bases and help his team to win.”
It was often said of Farrell that he
covered more ground than any man
who ever covered second base, either
before or since his time.
The last time Farrell was seen In
the professional game was In 1898 at
the close of the old Atlantic League
season. H» was put In at second base
by the Newark team. Farrell dis
played his old-time finish and electri
fied the crowd by his agility, but he
had lost much of his great speed and
hitting ability. It was only for the
novelty of the thing tile veteran sec
ond-sacker was put in the game, but
he made such an Impression thSj
"fans" demanded that he play thq
next day and the management con
sented. Later Farrell played a few
games with semi-professional clubs.
After giving up the game Farrell
became a nurse. For years he was at
tached to St. Michael’s Hospital, this
city. He later accepted a position at
Morris Plains and for the past few
years was at Overbrook.
Popular as An Amateur.
In his early amateur days among
the men and boys on the Newark
sand lots or gravel lots he was com
monly known as "Faddle.” This
nickname was accepted with good
grace by the clever Farrell; in fact,
he seemed to like it. He recognized
it os the proper salutatioh from old
and young. This was in the days
when he considered himself well
dressed in any material or make of
toggery.
New ideas and notions of fashion
and etiquette possessed him after his
first trip from home as a professional
ball-tosser. On his initial visit to j
Newark after his successful debut on I
the diamond he had money in plenty, j
and no fashion plate had it on him
in the matter of dress. He was a'
veritable Beau Brummel. No "Fad j
die’’ for him. It was "Jack” or “Far- j
rell.” The “kids” who unthinkinglj
addressed him as "Faddle" were1
chased all over the lots where Parrel. |
once reigned as their idol, and full
grown men who so far forgot them-'
selves as to fall to appreciate his rise
in the social world and applied the
one-time pet cognomen were promptly :
"called down,” and, if persistent. I
were given abrupt introductions to1
Farrell’s patent leather sharp-toed,
shoes.

SEEK NEW SECRET'
IN SCHMIDT CASE
Bertha Zech, Witness at Trial,
Insists She See Convicted
Man Immediately.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Miss Bertha
Zech, who on the last day of the trial
of Hans Schmidt, found guilty last
week of the murder of Anna Aumul
ler, testified that the man had asked
her to have her life Insured under the
name of his victim, may have today
a private interview with the convict
ed man which she sought yesterday.
Miss Zech/who was a maid in the
home of Dr. Ernest A. Muret, the
dentist friend of Schmidt, now serv
ing a term In the Atlanta peniten
tiary for counterfeiting, appeared at
the entrance to the Tombs after vis
iting hours and was on the verge of
hysteria.
Told that she would have to return
tomorrow, Miss Zech Insisted that she
must see Schmidt without delay. She
was then directed to the office of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, where, al
most at the moment of her arrival,
word was received from the convict
ed man that he wanted to see the
woman. •
To Assistant District Attorney
James A. Delehanty, who conducted
Schmidt’s trial for the prosecution.
Miss Zech protested that the man
had not killed Miss Aumuller.
When Schmidt was taken to the
district attorney’s office he discov
ered that a -ipnographer had been
posted to take down his conversation
with Ml 88 Zech. The two exchanged
a few commonplaces In German and
then remained silent, though together
for nearly an hour.
It Is probable that another Inter
view will be arranged for today,
when it la believed by Mr. Whitman
that some revelations concerning the
death of Miss Aumuller may be made.
