^tar AND NEWARK

ESTABLISHED 1832._ONE CENT._ NEWARK, N. J., FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1911—18 PAGES!

BALL TEAMS AT CONTINENTAL HOTEL READY FOR PARADE

PRUDENTIAL SEEKS SITES FOR OTHER

LARGEJUILDINGS Would Erect Tower at Corner

of Broad and Market Streets.

When the Prudential Insurance Com-

pany makes real estate acquisitions, for which it is now negotiating, it will

own a clean sweep on Broaa street

from Market street to Academy, and

will possess the site for what will un-

doubtedly prove to be the most notable group of buildings in America.

It was expected that a deal, which

has been on for some time, to acquire the property of the Essex National Bank and the Federal Trust Conipany, would have been closed today. It will

be consummated in the very near fu-

ture. This real estate transfer is the more

stupendous in view of the fact that the

Essex National Bank had- been plan- ning a skyscraper for its site which was

to overtop the Firemen’s Insurance

building, and that the Federal Trust

Company had tentatively planned a

modern structure on its site. The sale of these two valuable plots will force these two institutions to seek at least new temporary quarters, which must of necessity be in the immediate neigh- borhood—the vicinity of the corner of

Market and Broad streets, which has

grown to be Newark's financial' dis-

trict. As has been announced the Pru-

dential proposes to build at Broad and

Market streets a great tower to rival the sky-plerclng structures of New

York, which la to be the crowning glory of their group of buildings. Toward Academy street they propose to put up magnificent structures In accord with their present style of buildings.

Now that the Essex National end the Federal Trust are to be compelled through the proposed sale to abandon their building plans It Is believed pos- sible that the Prudential will provide magnificent quarters for them In the new building on their old sites.

The campaign is to be conducted by the Lieutenant-Governor, who read to

the delegation a large number of let- ters ho had received, "indicating,” he

CAMORRIST PLUCKS EYE AND HURLS IT AT JUDGE __ A »i ■ ■■ —I..., ....

Though Optic Is Glass Episode Stampedes Court-room and

Court Suspends. j -■

VITERBO. Italy. April 21.—Of all the

methods adopted by the Camorrlst

prisoners to excite sympathy or incite

a riot, none surpassed in novelty and

effectiveness that of Gaetano Esposito, who, at the end of a mad harangue to-

day, tore a glass eye from his head, and, hurling It at the feet of the pre-

siding Judge, stampeded the court- room. Then he fell in a faint and President Bianchi suspended the sil- ting.

According to the state, Esposito, who is known as a usurer, is a dangerous malefactor and succeeded Enrico Al- fano as the head of the Camorra when Alfano fled to the United States, there

to fall Into the hands of Lieutenant Petrosino.

The prisoner attempted to prove an alibi. He gave a detailed account of his wandtringB prior to the murder of

| Cuoccol and his wife and gradually j wrought himself up to a fine frenzy. He concluded In substance ae follows:

"It Is true that I concealed myself at the time when I learned that I was to be arrested. In my boyhood I lost one eye. I feared that I would die In prison from heart disease, which had already seized me, or, what would be even worse, that I would lose my other eye."

Here the prisoner became hysterical and sobbed violently, his face In his hands. Suddenly he raised his head, and with a deft movement of the band released the glass eye. and. throwing it on the floor before the judge’s bench, bared his face, disfigured with old cuts, to the horrified spectators.

As Esposito collapsed a tumult was raised. From the steel cages the pris- oners shouted, cried and cursed.

SOHO HOSPITAL REFUSES TO TIE INFECTED INFANTS

Ignores Pleas of Day Nursery and Health Board for Diph=

theria Sufferers.

Despite the fact that the Board of

Health and the management of the

Eighth Avenue Day Nursery have

made application to the Soho Hospital to admit the nursery, children that are

suffering from measles and diphtheria, ^hey have refused them admission. There are eighteen cases of measles in the nursery and several of -the chil- dren have diphtheria also. One of the

children died Wednesday. The condi- tion in the hospital is serious; in fact

intubation has bean resorted to in

some cases. But the Soho people say

that the rules of their hospital do not admit of the housing of patients that

suffer from a complication such as

exists in the nursery. Until the epidemic is over no day

children will be taken in the Eighth avenue home. The children suffering from the disease are. isolated from the

others and every precaution is taken to prevent the spread of the disease.

The nursery management at first en-

deavored to induce the Soho authori-

ties to permit the children to enter the

isolation hospital, and on being re-

fused they appealed to the Board of

Health, which has also been unsuc-:

cessful. , __I

ID. A. R; ELECTION IN DOUBT AFTER ALL-NIGHT COUNT

—

Tellers of Mrs. Story’s Faction Point Significantly at

“Daisy” Buttons. ________

! WASHINGTON, April 21. — The

Daughters of the American Revolution awaited with impatient interest today an announcement of the results of yes- terday’s election. Tellers were at work all night.

Early today both factions were claim-

ing victory. The friends of Mrs. Mat- thew T. Scott, of Illinois, insisted that j she had been reelected president-general by an increased majority. Two years ago Mrs. Scott won by eight votes. The

supporters of Mrs. William C. Story, of New York, the ’Insurgent” candi- date for president-general, declarej to-

day that the official count would And Mrs. Story the victor.

The fight two years ago between these same candidates was so close that most of the delegates preferred to await the official announcement before ac-

cepting any of the rumors whicn began as soon as the polls closed and con-

tinued throughout the night. At 9 a. m. today the tellers were still

locked in a room on the third floor of Continental Hall, counting the ballots. It was said they were having a lively i session.

Shortly after 10 o'clock the tellers ad-

journed to an uptown hotel for break-

fast, taking the ballots with them. The count had not been concluded.

The Story tellers, as they came out of

the room, where the night had been

spent, were smiling Jubilantly and

pointing to daisy emblems which they wore. This gave rise to the report that

Mrs. "Daisy” Story, the "insurgent” leader, was ahead In the balloting. Nothing official could be learned, how- | ever, as to how the contest was going, i Announcement of the result may be de- [ layed until well after noon.

At 12:15 p. m. It was said a clerical error was holding up announcement of the election results. At that hour, however, the report became general that Mrs. Scott, the administration candidate, had won. The Story forces, Jubilant earlier in the day, had prac- tically given up hope.

place at the home of the couple, 19S Mulberry street, on the night of March 26

West’s defense that he was intoxi- cated and did not know what he was

doing when he beat his wife had little weight with Judge Martin, who pro- nounced him guilty as soon as all the evidence had ben heard. a

FIRST BALL SHOT ACROSS THE PLATE

THIS AFTERNOON Delayed Opening of Eastern league Season

Marked by Parade, led by Newark and Montreal, Followed by local Teams.

FANS IN LARGE NUMBERS GREET M’GfNNim TIGERS AND OPPONENTS

Park Crowded When Players Accompanied by Mayor Baussling and Others Enter-City

Executive Pitches First Bail Acrass Plate.

IT opened today. Sure, the baseball season—and even if they do beat us on the series—there was a wondrous, grand parade always to be remembered. And the sun shone as it should have shone yesterday. Broad street was wrapped in the warmth of the finest spring day for Me-

Ginnity and the Mayor, with a band to keep tune to marching chugs of their automobiles and fifty other Newark teams parading after them.

And the Montreal team, just ahead of the Newarks. with its members smiling as broadly as though they weren’t figured as the slaughter in the Jer- sey holiday, with the bands playing “God Save the Queen” for their sakes, on the strength of the Canadian reciprocity bill, most presumably, and the Mayor hat-doffing and McGlnnity doffing, and every one of the three hun- dred odd baseball players in the parade doffing, and the crowd doffing, and the yelling, too—why? Because it meant play ball. Something to remenr-

ber, eh? -i

HOPE FOR VOTE OH RECIPROCITY TRIO AFTERNOON

Chairman Underwood Exerting Every Effort to Compel

Prompt Action.

WASHINGTON. April 21.-The House of Representatives entered today upon what the leaders hope is the final stage of consideration of the Canadian reci-

procity bill. Strenuous efforts are be-

ing made to force a vote before ad-

journment today. Chairman Under- wood, of the committee on ways and

means. Is exerting all possible pressure to compel action.

It was agreed at a conference that

general debate would close at S p. m.

and remarks under the flve-mlnute rule be in order. Today's debate in- cluded speeches by Mr. McCall and

Mr. Dalzell, the former in advocacy of

the measure and the latter against it. j Mr. Underwood, as majority leader

claimed the privilege of closing the de-

bate. The situation Is complicated by the

great number of amendments offered.

Many of these are not germane, how-

ever. and will be thrown out. The re-

mainder, many of which have been of-

fered to delay action, will provide dif-

ficulties. for their sponsors are , re-

pared to demand roll-calls. For these reasons doubt is expressed

by some House leaders that a vote-

can be reached without continuing the

session into the night. Others believe Mr. Underwood will resort to “steam

roller” methods and force action. 1'h? Democratic "steam roller" has proved itself effective this session, and tfhe op- j timists of the party are pinning their

faith to It on this occasion.

COURT CALLS. The call in the Circuit Court for Mon- j

day. April 24. is as folloiM Nos. 252, !49. 272, 244 240. 214. 239, 262,1:87 and 289.

When McGinnity reached the par; there was a peculiar eonsultat'on It was between McGinnity and some of the best known fans who had followed him in the parade to the diamond. It resulted in the unanimous choice of Lee as pitcher for the Newark team at the outset anyway. Among the friends who advised with McGinnity were for- mer Commissioner Castle, Alderman Elmer Day. Tax Commissioner How* and Albert S. Koenig. McGinnity was set on Lee from the first. When the other fans agreed with him that the man would not only probably pitch hotter, but bat better than any other man he could put in, he announced that he would make that man his pivotal player unless bad practise puts him out of the running when the men warm up.

The Montreal manager would give no name of his specific pitcher. He of- fered four as probable entries, and said he would put the man in who could win.

They fanned at the Continental Hotel at 1 o'clock. The Royals were there to meet the local cavalcade. Flags flew all around and there were

more automobiles In the parade than you could wave a stick at.

The chief marshal was .1. A. Lain- brlght, and he made a splendid figure. Fred Castle was his chief escort and there were half a dozen aides.

But it was the fans that did the pa- rade pound. There were fans in auto- mobiles trailing behind it, fans on foot, fans yelling as hard from six-story windows as from automobiles, and a

horde of young fans belonging to the amateur clubs that cheered harder than everybody else altogether.

Down Broad street the parade marched, past many flags and a lot of bunting and a lot more din than all to Court street, and after Broad street it turned to Court and after 'nurt up Washington to Market. Then on to Springfield avenue, tile cavalcade made its way to Market again and through Ferry street, where the road leads di- rectly to the ball grounds.

At the grounds the seats have been sold out so thoroughly that tnere isn't a doubt of a packed house when the Royals and the Tigers begin. But be- fore that the end of the parade had to come in, the awarding of prizes to ama- teur teams by the judges, and the de- cisions were cheered to the echo. But even before that the tans who crowded the grounds clapped their hands fer- vently over the decorations that Mc- Ginnity had put up.

When he and his team, with the Montreals, come onto the grounds, and when Mayor Haussling appeared ready to toss in the first official ball, the cheer rose to a yell that made a whis- per of any similar occasion.

frond Estimated at 7,000. It was estimated ‘.hat seven thousaud

Newarkers took advantage of the bril- liant day to see the opening game. So many of them were women that the stands were dotted with the gay colors of feminine hats and gowns—some of which were brand-new in spite of Eas- te—and others of which were even

more newly bright. The background preseuted the finest

aggregation of kid and amateur ball- tcesers In uniform that Newark has ever produced. They fined all fence* and they were there hours ahead. Some were there so curly that there was
