York, May 4—William T. 64 years ald, secretary- treasurer of the Port Jefferson Elec- ric Light company of Port Jefferson, 1., committed suicide yesterday, He had worried over the killing of “C. Fred Purick in the bathroam of home last January and the death last summer of William Blatch, the | hushamd of Mrs. Harriot Stanton Platch, both deaths having been at- tributed to alleged defective appara- tus of his company. Choosing a time when no one was in the power room of the plant, Wheeler entered and placed one hand upon each of the two main switches, thus forming a cannection tbrough which the full current passed. The 2,300 volts killed him instantly. New Wheeler, TO HAVE BENEFIT SOCIAL.

Babcock safety board has arranged for a con- | ference tomorrow evening with his commission, the civil service commis- sion and Mayor Quigley, at which time the proposed civil service rules Chairman E. | will be suggeted by the safety board. As brought out at their recent meet- ing, the safety board members do not feel that they have been treated right by the civil service commission as they have not been consulted at all in making out the rules. After looking at the proposed rules they see a num- ber of changes which they feel are necessary in order to get the efficiency desired. It is to discuss these things that the meeting will be held. Must Have Clean Breath. The rules as made out by the civil service commission embody some of the essential features of the New York, Philadelphia and New Haven departments and go into the most mi- nute details. Candidates must be not less twenty-one years of age, nor more than thirty-five, free from marked deformity and skin diseases, and show no signs of intemperance. The body must be well proportioned, of good muscular development and show care- ful attention to personal cleanliness. Obesity, muscular weakness or poor | physique will cause the applicant’s rejection. The mouth must be free from deformities. An applicant will be rejected for having very offensive breath. He must have clean teeth and at least twenty natural ones. Varicose veins and color blindpess are causes for rejection. The brain and nervous system must be free from defects. Candidates able to pass such an exam- ination will then be permitted to go to the medical examiner to undergo physical examination. The physical examination is more | stringent than the form just de- scribed. Applicants must have a to- tal strength capacity of 1,000 pounds. The examiner will report on the con- dition of candidates on rating from 70 to 100, fair, good, excellent and physically perfect being the rates. Physical Requirements, The proposed rules change portant particulars existing rules, and the men who have rved in the fire and police departments for some time feel that they are not treated fairly. Present ordinances of the fire depart- ment permit appointments of persons five feet, four inches in height and 3 pounds in weight. The civil service rules prescribe a height of five feet, inches for firemen and weight from 136 to 170 pounds. The ages for ap- pointment may be between the ages of twenty-one to thirty-five & Firemen who have served the city for years but are over that age, may be debarred by age. Under the present ordinance if members of the depart- ment they would be eligible to ap- pointment on the permanent force up to the age of forty-five years. Candi- date for police department must be between the ages of twenty-one and five years, weight between 140 and 170 pounds, and the minimum height is fixed at five feet, eight in- ches. Present ordinances permit ap- pointment of supernumerary officers as regular patrolmen up to the age of forty years, and the minimum height is five feet, seven inches, and weight 140 pounds.

The minority of delegates, led by Gifford Pinchot, charged openly that the conservation meeting was packed by representatives of water power in- terests who desired passage of the Shield bill by a means of securing private control of stream sites now held by the government. This charge was denied vehemently by speakers in behalf of the Shield's measure, who | explained that they wanted only hon- est development of water power for the sake of national prosperity. The congress also adopted without opposition a resolution advocating use of water power in production of ni- trates for commercial purposes dur- ing peace times and available to the government in any emergency. Miss Susanna Cocroft of Chicago, a health advocate, in an address today urged creation of a federal board of health subject: This should be di- rected particularly at mothers, she suggested. Other speakers included Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, pure food expert; Miss Cora ‘W.

DEVOY NAMED IN HOLD CONFERENCE| PLOT INDICTMENT Alleged to Have Been Gomnected With German Agents in U. 5. New York, May 4.—The federal grand jury returned a superseding in- dictment yesterday Captain Franz von Papen, former German military attache of the embassy, who was von Papen’s aid during the for- against mer's stay in this country; Captain Hans Tauscher, the Krupp agent in this country; Alfred A. Fritzen, and Constantine Covani, all of whom were indicted recently for having plotted the dynamiting of the Welland Canal in the first weeks of the European war. The superseding indictment re- turned yesterday names John Devoy, editor of the Gaelic American, who last week wrote an editorial in which he made scurrilous references to the | tele- that who lawyer Fresident, as the man graphed to a Buffalo Horst von der Goltz, German plotter, | who has become a government wit- ness, was' “all right,” and that he (Devoy,) . would be Tesponsible for von der Goltz’s identification at a Euffalo telegraph office. John T. Ryan, the man to whom the telegram was sent to for him,” meaning vom who wa tenant af Captain von Papen’s. The new indictment names conspirators, but not as defendants, von der Goltz, Frederick Busse, and Carl Tuchendler. All these men are understood to have given valuable in- formation to the government. The paragraph in the indictment in which the name of Devoy is men- tioned and in which the text of the telegram that Devoy sent ta Ryan is given states that on September 16, 1914, von Igel “did cause and Dro- cure one John Devoy at and within the Southern District of New York to send to one John T. Ryan, at Buffalo, N. Y, a telegram of the tenor following, to wit “New York, Sept. 16, 1914, “John T. Ryan, 163 Mutual Life Building, Buffalo, N. Y.: “Party who called is all right.

Imper- fect introduction due to my brother’s death and hurry. “JOHN DEVOY.” Mr. Ryan is the man who paid to von der Goltz $400, which it is al- leged, was money originally fur- rished by Captain von Papen. Von Papen paid the money to a bank in New York, which in turn transmitted it to a bank in Buffalo, where it is alleged, it was paid to van der Goltz. The superseding indictmenet also mentioned the Kaiser and charges that the plot was hatched to injure Great Britain and to help him. der Goltz, PULPIT PRE REDNESS, Ministers in Salt Lake City Help in Recruiting. Salt Lake City, Utah, May 4—The pastors of a number of orthodox churches throughout Utah are co- operating with the United States Ma- rine Corps recruiting officers in this city in procuring recruits for the military-naval branch of Uncle Sam's fighting forces. The clergymen are of the that the Marine Corps is a prime fac- tor for peace in controlling situations which, if badly handled, might ea lead to war, and point to the Corps’ recent operations in Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua, in proof of this contention. “The men of the Marine Corps have done more to avert war in the last decade than all the peace societies in America,” said one of the clergymen when asked about his recruiting ac- tivities. opinion MINERS TURN SAPPERS. London, May 4—The war office has notified the coal owners of Eng- land and Wales that 10,000 volurn- teer miners skilled in tunnelling and timbering-up work are needed for the British forces in France.

'PHON 230 BASE BRUTALITY, IS OPINION OF FORD Editor of Ir?'sh Paper Comments on Shooting of Rebels New York, May 4.—The speedy ac- tion of the Knglish authorities in try- ing and executing four of the leaders of the Irish republic vesterday was a surprise to Irishmen in this country, | who after the collapse of the move- ment hoped some way might be found | to save the lives of the leaders. | The fact that the three other sign- ers of the proclamation of the new ‘re- | public” were given only three years| was taken to mean that the several | hundred Irishmen who took part in! the revolution may escape with even ' lighter sentences. | Following a meeting of leading sup- | porters of the Irish parliamentary par- ty in New York last night a cablegram was sent to John E. Redmond, M. P. which reads: “Irish in America, contrasting exe- | | cution of Dublin leaders with treat- ment in Ulster and South Africa, are revolted by this sign of reversion to savage repression.” | It was signed by Capt. Stephen Mc- Farland, president of New York muni- cipal council of the United Irish league. i The Irish papers here say the revoit still in progress in the country dis- ricts of Ireland. They praise valor and fighting spirit of the rebel forces and say the attempt to win Irish free- dom has been more successful than England admits. The papers print flaring front page ‘articles telling of victories of the revolting troops. Says Robert E. Ford, editor of Ir World: “The shooting of Pearse and his as- sociates will serve only to make the war between lIreland and England more bitter. To shoot them down was a piece of base brutality and will no | doubt cause reprisals by the people of | Ireland. Pearse, like Washington, | represented a people throwing off the ' voke of England. Washington would | have been shot like Pearse had he! fallen into the hands of the English.” | Jeremiah A. O'Leary, a prominent Trish leader of his countrymen in this city, said the men who signed the dec- | laration of the republic knew they were signing their own death war- rant. the RACE FOR CAVALRYMEN.

Formation of Objects to Part New York, May 4.—The opposition of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, leader of the National Woman Suffrage asso- ciation, to the formation of a “Woman's Party” was announced to- day in a statement issued by the headquarters of the association. “The minute we make suffrage a party issue,” said Dr. Shaw, “we lase our friends in the party that is to be ‘Gisciplined,’ and we cannot afford to do that. It takes a two-thirds ma- jority in congress to pass any federal mendment, and no party in power has controlled that much pawer since 1869.
