Brooklyn Congressman's Followers Think Wadsworth Is Being Groomed for Upper House. Representative William M. Calder and the G. O. P.

leaders who are supporting his candidacy for the nomination for United States Senator on the Republican ticket are taking no stock in the stories to the effect that Senator Elihu Root may yet be persuaded to run again. Some of the Congressman's friends profess to see in the repeated publicity and circulation of these rumors signs of some underground movefor the benefit of some other candidate. Mr. Calder himself, in a statement today, reiterated 1 he had not permitted his own claims to be pressed until he had received direct assurances from Root that he was absolutely out of the race. "I did not comply with the request of Brooklyn Republicans that I should be a candidate for United States Senator until I had heard directly from Mr.

Root that he was not to be a candidate to succeed himself," said the Congressman today. "I held that the people of Brooklyn would be for him if he decided to run for Senator again. Mr. Root's great service as Secretary of State and Senator will never be forgotten. There is no man SO well equipped for the business of government as Mr.

Root, whose understanding of national problems is most profound and whose wisdom has been exercised time and time again for the country's benefit. "I agree with ex-President Roosevelt when he said Senator Root was the ablest man in the country, and the -equipped statesman of this generation. His retirement from the Senate is a distinct loss to the country. went to the Senator twice and urged him to run, explaining that universal sentiment was in his favor and that he was just the man for the responsibilities of Senator from the greatest State in the Union. but he informed me both times that while he appreciated all I had said, he would not consider himself as a candidate again.

It was after these two visits for United States a Senator." that I consented to become a candidate Despite the statements of William Wadsworth that he was 'not a candidate," there is a feeling among many of the Calder followers that he is being groomed for the race against Calder by State Chairman William Barnes and that the repeated statements regarding the "hope that Root will yet reconsider" is part of a plan of some of the leaders to keep the field clear of as many aspirants as possible, so that when the psychological moment arrives, an up-State candidate can be trotted out with but a single well-developed boom to fight against. Root Firm in Intention to Quit Senate, Friends Say. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 22-At the time Senator Root left Washington last week to go to Corning, N. there bad been absolutely no change in his determination not to run for another 1erm in the Senate this fall.

He has not yet returned to the Capitol, but those of his colleagues who are in a position to know of his intentions do not believe that he has in any way altered his plans. That there would be pressure upon him in certain Republican quarters to make the race the Senator himself understood at the time he announced his decision not to be a candidate, so that the statements now being made by the various Republican leaders are not unexpected by him. Senator Root is sincerely desirous of leaving the Senate quitting public life, both on account of age and the increasing demands which are being inade upon the incumbent of his office by practically he continuous sessions of Congress. When made it clear that he did not want to run again, the announcement came sufficiently early to enable any other Republicans who might want to get into the race ample time to make their plans. The Senator intended to leave the field for others.

What he would do nominated in but such a contingency last spite of his wishes is another, matter, thing he expects. Unless there has been a radical change in his views, which is not believed here, he will discourage any attempts to get him into the field again. for years A communicant of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer. whose rector.

While William Johnson, a printer's helper, 17 years old, is near death in St. Mary's Hospital, Jamaica, as the result of a rifle wound received in a mysterious manner, the police are making an investigation into the movements, yesterday afternoon, of the boy's former employer, William Battersby, a painter, of Seventh street, Jamaica Court, whom Magistrate Fitch today held, without bail, pending the outcome of the victim's inJury. After being shot, yesterday afternoon, Johnson dragged himself two blocks to the Far trolley, and lay for hours in the grass nearby before summoning strength to call for help.

Passengers on a car heard him and he was lifted on board. rode to Washington and South streets, where the conductor called an ambulance to take him to St. Mary's Hospital. A .22 calibre rifle bullet was extracted from his abdomen last, night, at midnight. Captain Ouchterlonie of the Jamaica detective bureau and Detective Sergeant White obtained a statement from the boy at the hospital before the operation.

He said he had gone to the home of Battersby in the Jamaica Court section yesterday afternoon, and following an altercation with his former employer, the latter had shot him with a rifle. The detectives at once arrested Battersby at his home, and also took into custody as a material witness at the painter's house, Michael Shanley, 56 years old, who said he formerly lived at 57 Herkimer street, Brooklyn. They took away a rifle which they found in the house. Battersby accompanied the detectives to the hospital last night, and was there identified by Johnson as the man who shot him. He denied the charge.

In court today he denied his guilt, suggesting that 'the youth had been drinking and didn't know what he was saying. Shanley, who was also arraigned before Magistrate Fitch, was released on his promise to appear if he is needed later in the case.

FACTORY MEN PLEAD FOR MODIFIED LAW Brooklyn Manufacturers Tell Investigating Board Present Control Is Unfair "DRIVING US TO THE WALL." Board Hears That Too Much Discretionary Power Is Vested in Courts. Thompson Company, beds. Would Establish a Bureau of Public Safety. Hearings on the proposed recodification of the State Labor Law, which are to continue throughout the week, were opened today by the State Factory Investigating Commission at the City Hall in Manhattan. Brooklyn manufacturers were largely represented at today's hearing.

Lieut. Gov. Robert F. Wagner was chairman and Alfred E. Smith acted as vice-chairman.

The other members of the Commission are: Charles M. Hamilton, Edward D. Jackson, Cyrus W. Phillips, Robert E. Dowling, Simon Brentano, Samuel Gompers and Mary E.

Dreier, The counsel for the Commission are Abram I Elkus and Bernard L. Shientag. Chairman Wagner of the Commission read an interesting letter from Gustav F. Richter, a maker of surgical instruments. at 855 DeKalb avenue, Brooklyn, in which be charged that the State authorities were trying "to push us against the wall." Mr.

Richter said in his letter: "I trust that this protest will be of some avail, as it seems that we manufacturers are considered the mark for political demagogues. They aim at the large corporations, but we small manufacturers must stand the blow. "Then we get these expensive visits from the factory inspectors. Every visit has cost us from $50 to $100, and this year I must probably spend another $150 to bring conditions up to the new law. "Business collections are very poor and it sems government is doing everything to push us to the wall.

Result: I am losing business and some of our men will lose their jobs. "German manufacturers will get the orders and the money will go out of the country." The Manufacturers' and Business Men's Association assembled the Brooklyn delegation. President Frank N. Conn, Secretary James Hoile, and Frank Harvey Field, chairman of the law and legislation committee, were a present. Criticism of the present factory law was made by Mrs.

Irene Osgood Andrews, assistant secretary of the assocation for Labor Legislation. She testified, that under the present law, too much devolves upon magistrates and judges in the city, with the result, that too many cases are dismissed and too many fines resulted. In a large number of cases, she said, the rules and regulations of the factory law are disregarded by magistrates and judges, who make up their own regulations. These cases, she said should be settled by the Industrial Commission of the State. "The working people," she said, "are seldom sure of their legal rights on account of the conflicting court opinions." The Brooklyn manufacturers represented were: F.

Veith lace curtains; Louis B. Praliar, metal novelties; E. W. Bliss Company, presses and dies; Knopp Candy Company, Empire Laundry of Ralph aveAtlantic Hygienic Ice Company, A city Department of Public Safety, appointed by the Mayor, and combining within its functions practically all the departments having police powers in the city, was advocated by Rudolph P. Miller, former Superintendent of Buildings in Manhattan.

Mr. Miller said that he would have included in such a department, Health, Fire and Tenement departments and the bureaus of buildings in the five boroughs, and if it were deemed expedient, the Police Department. He said that he believed that this system would obviate much of the present duplication of inspections, against which a storm of protest has recently arisen. BROOKLYN COURTS. SUPREME COURT.

Our schedule of Track and Paving Renewals on Surface Lines for 1914 is the largest for any one year since 1853-the beginning of rail transportation on streets in this Borough. It covers over 44 miles of Track. It will cost $1,283,000. Last year's schedule was the largest on record up to that time--covering 39 Miles of Track and costing $981,000. These figures do not include any expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs, which aggregate each year many hundreds of thousands of dollars additional.

The City- -with almost unlimited powers for raising revenue--with obligations covering eight times as much street area in Brooklyn--has appropriated for this year's repaving in this borough, $650,000. For repaving alone in this Borough our budget calls for or within $85,000 of what the City has appropriated, although our obligation is only oneeighth as great. It is expected, however, by the Bureau of Highways that, with balances left over from last year, and with additional appropriations which the Board of Estimate may be induced to make later, the total funds available for repaving in this Borough may be brought up to $1,400,000. Even if all this expected additional City money be available, our system will be paying for the repaving of three times as much street area as the City, proportionately to the respective obligations. We believe in a high standard of physical condition for our properties.

To maintain that high standard requires revenue--and honest, economical, efficient administration. These are encouraged by public goodwill and support. In acquainting you with the facts stated above do we not persuade you that in respect to paving at least OUR INTERESTS ARE YOUR INTERESTS? BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM June 22, 1914.

K. Washington, June 22-President Wilson believes that when the Colombian and Nicaraguan treaties are understood they will be amply supported in the Senate. He made this clear to callers today, but refused to go into details. The treaties are pending before the Foreign Relations Committee, before which Secretary Bryan again appeared today to continue his explanation. There is some opposition to the proposed payment of $25,000,000 to Columbia and to features of the Nicaraguan treaty, which some Senators contend would work unduly to sustain the present government there.

Metz used to call a giant doing a boy's work, will soon be put to a new use.

Bridge Commissioner Kracke expects to announce within two weeks the completion of the largement of the esplanade at the Manhattan end of the bridge for a playground and recreation center. The work was started three week ago. The esplanade will be nothing more or less than a large elevated city playground, having the added advantage of being close to the river, and being high enough to get light and air. A8 soon as the formal opening is held, the Bridge Commissioner will take up the question of how to make this center most useful to the the neighborhood adjoining people! been proposed that band concerts be held here, and there could very readily be dances on hot summer nights. It has not been decided whether or not any roof covering would be advisable.
