Logue for an order restraining the Whitney Steel Con- struction Company, which has charge of the work on the new Firemen’s In- surance building at Broad and Market streets, from Inserting any more iron girders in the building he occupies as a cafe at 181 Market street. When the various affidavits were read, facts were brought out never before made public. A few days after the preliminary ol- der was granted, former Judge Alfred X. Skinner appeared before the vice- chancellor and had the order modified to allow his clients to Insert one more beam, because the building had sunk three-quarters of an inch. When the men started to do the work a night manager in the cafe appeared and attacked the foreman, injuring him so badly he had to receive treatment in a hospital. It is also alleged that a certain police officer Interefered without warrant. It was not until Superin- tendent of Buildings O'Rourke ap- peared and notified the tenants that he would order all to vacate the bulldirg because it was unsafe, that the work was allowed to proceed. This makes 1 all six beams that have pieiced the walls of the building to render It sif? front the sinking consequent to the excavation next door. The old English common law states that one must protect the land of an adjoining owner, and this is modified In this State by the statutory law. which add that he must also protect the building. Walter .1. Knight, counsel for Logue. contended the defendants were injuring his client's building by the holes mad?, and also claimed the beams interfered with the transaction of business. Judge Skinner answered that the end justified the means. The defendant cut in the walls to save the building, and would later fix up the holes in the same condition as formerly, he held. Decision will be rendered later. BEE IN HIS EAR DESTROYS TRENTON MAN’S HEARING Torture by Insect Comes Near Driving Farm-hand Insane.

Evidently everyone in Newark didn’t bo to Coney Island yesterday to enjoy i the Sunday: on the contrary, many stayed home and enjoyed the day in their own peculiar way, with the re- sult that the police of the Third Pre- cinct were forced to make a few ar- rests for intoxication and loitering.

HERE’S A SNAKE STORY THAT’S REALLY TRUE. Wife of Haussling's Clerk Is Sponsor for the Tale. Many folks have heard ghost, fish and snake stories. Some you have be- lieved and others, doubtless, you haven't, but here is a snake story the truth of which is authenticated by Mrs. Gilroy, the wife of John J. Gilroy, Mayor Haussling’s clerk, and William E. Coryell, of Whippany. Mr. Gilroy and Ills family are spend- ing the summer at Mr. Coryell’s place in Whippany. and, like all good hus- bands, Mr. Gilroy- went up on Saturday to spend the week-end with his family. Mrs. Gilroy called their 4-year-old son, Elvin J., to prepare him to meet his father at the station. Young Elvin was nowhere in sight, and a hurried search was made, in tile belief that the child was lost. He was found in the rear of the barn, about 150 feet back of the house, with a pitchfork in his hands, sticking the prongs into a large biacksnake, and was Just picking it up to bring back to the house. When Mr. Coryell measured the snake he found it was three feet ten inches long. ANOTHER 5 P. C. TAX CONFAB ON DENMAN’S RETURN, j Board of Works Commissioner Expected in Next Few Days. Another conference between City En- gineer Morris It. Sherrerd, Commis- sioner Arthur R. Denman, of the Board of Works, and Matthew Boylan, auditor of the Public Service Corporation, on the matter of the proposed ordinance for the plan of levying the 5 per cent, tax on the receipts of trolley cars will be held as soon as Commissioner Den- man returns tb the city. Hd is expected here within the next few days. The company has expressed its will- ingness to accede to any reasonable proposition advanced by the Board of Works. At present to the two plans most favored out of those suggested arc the car mileage and the “stop-the- elock" systems. The latter is the most under discussion, but the corporation sees drawbacks to it in the fact that on the South orange line, where cars are run at three distances, only one of which is within the city limits, it might be difficult to kfeep the tally straight of those going beyond the city lines. It will be suggested at the conference that some kind of a test be made by whi-h this difficulty may be met. EAST FOB PABK COPS 10 SI LIFE Guardians Come Out with Fly ing Colors in Thrilling Dummy Tests. Essex Park policemen rehearseu possible future feats of heroism during (lie annual swimming con tests at the Branch Brook boat-house today, and the ease with which dum- mies were rescued demonstrated that the park guardians are thoroughly equipped by their training lo save hu- man life. All records of last yeai were shattered. Potter Hines, scratch man, carried off top honors in the 100-yard senioi swim, making the distance in 1 minute 17 3-5 seconds, while George Brodesser, who swam in' the intermediate class, covered the distance in 2 minutes 11 2-5 seconds. In both events the police low- ered their records of last year. In the diving contest only two suc- ceeded In raising the dummy from the bottom of the stream. Oscar Kchumar. had a streak of luck and found the. imitation McGlnty at the first dive, in exactly 34 seconds after diving from the wharf of the boat-house. However, he had a close race for first place, and for a time it looked as though the hon- ors would go to George Millfr. as then was some dispute among the judges as to his time. The three judges each re- corded a different time. The time ol the stop watc-h of Mayor J H. Hawl- son, of Caldwell, who acted as judge und starter, was finally agreed upon and showed that Miller had lost by just 1-5 of a second. The banks surrounding the boat- house were dotted with spectators, who [ were well rewarded for their wait. In each event medals were awarded for first and second places, and presented to the winners by Alonzo Church, sec- retary of the Park Commission. The entries and time of winners fol- low : Senior 100-Yard' Swim—Potter Haines, lm. 17 3-Ss.; G. Gecgan. lm. 42s.; James darken, 2m. 5s.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.— That Ormsby McIIarg, assistant secretary of Commerce and Labor, believes that his recent interview regarding conserva- tion policies has not embarrassed Presi- dent Taft or his administration, that he is ready to step from office Immediately if such should be the construction placed upon his attitude regarding the methods of preserving the forests, and I that the views which lie has expressed J are his own without any reference to' tils official position, seems to be a sum- mary of the .situation which has created I so much discussion since Mr. McHnrg'sl original Interview. Mr. McHarg R"ems to consider that his published Interview does not In any way alter the relations which have existed since he accepted the assistant secretaryship of the De- ! partment of Commerce and Labor.

[Special to the Newark Star.] ELIZABETH. Aug. 30.—Terribly scalded by boiling syrup, Christian Frank Ahrens, 2 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Christian .1. Ahrens, of 823 Madison avenue, North Elizabeth, died early today after suffering thirteen hours. The baby climbed on a chair stand- ing against the kitchen tubs in the Ahrens home yesterday morning, grasped at the handle of a large kettle which the mother had a short time be- fore filled with boiling plum syrup from fruit she was preserving and deluged himself with the scalding fluid. The mother and father rushed to their child’s side, poured linseed oil on his burns and called for aid. Dr. Theodore Llvengood was summoned and worked for some time over the baby. The child could only say ’’mairva" and “papa," but remained conscious until shortly before the end. The mother, fearing just such an ac- cident as occurred, had left the chil- dren with their father in an adjoining | room. Mr. Ahrens went to the kitchen to get some milk for the baby and! his sister, 4-year-old Lillian Frances, and the baby toddled softly out after him. The Ahrens have lived at their pres- ent address since last April. Mr. Ahrens is a compositor in the employ of the STAR. MAY REMOVE LIDS OF BALLOT'BOXES TO VOTE. Attorney*General So Advises Secretary of State. [Prom a Staff Correspondent.] TRENTON, Aug. 30.—Secretary of State Samuel D. Dickinson has been Hdvlsed by the attorney-general that If the ballots for the constitutional amendment, election are too large to ire pushed through the slots of regular ballot-boxes, the llde of the boxes may be removed and the ballots deposited through the open tops of the boxes. The act providing for the constitu- tional elections provides that the voting shall be done In conformity with the general election laws, as far as is practicable. Assistant Attorney-Gen- eral Gaskill bolds that if the ballots will not go through the slots in the boxes, then an impracticable situation arises, which may be overcome by making the boxes practicable by re- moving the entire top. He also holds that the absence of a box which has been adopted by custom for voting purposes cannot defeat the right of legal voters to cast their bal- lots, and that any kind of a box would be legal.

ANOTHER CURTISS TRIUMPH PLACES AMERICA IN LEAD (Continued from First Page.) It will remain with us, who have been pioneers in the science of flying. "Since I have come here, a stranger, I have received nothing but courteous and fair treatment from the French, who are excellent sportsmen. "In regard to speed I am certain the aeroplane that will go a mile a minute is close at hand. My own machine, differently adjusted can make better time than it has made, and it must be remembered this is in trade language a “stock machine” fitted with a sixty- jiorse power engine. "We are only at the beginning of the marvels to be shown In the conquest of the air. but this meeting has demon- strated beyond all question that flying by man has arrived for all the world. "One thing I regret. I am sorry Bleriot, who made such a fine record, was prevented by accident from trying for the cup. I'm sorry for Bleriot, but I'm glad the cup is ours. I believe we can keep it.” CurtlBS only missed winning the lap speed contest from Bleriot by a small margin. He captured second place In that event, wJilch was over the full circuit of ten kilometres, or 6.21 miles, raising his total money winnings for the meeting to 38,000 francs, besides the International cup, which goes to the Aero Club of America, inscribed with his name. As In the cup contest, an accident— the only serious one of the meeting- removed Bleriot, the American's most dangerous competitor, from the three- lap speed contest. Bleriot's escape from death was a narrow one. He had passed the first turn In the Prix de la Vitesse when the rucider suddenly failed to respond. The machine turned com- pletely over three trmes, landing with such force that the petrol tank burst, and catching fire from trtb hot motor, enveloped the machine and pilot in flames. Before Bleriot could extricate himself he was burned about the face and hands, but not seriously. With Bleriot out of the contest, Lath- am remained Curtiss's only serious rival. The race was intensely exciting. Latham, with No. 13. started four min- utes ahead of tire American, who gave chase. Curtisa overhauled him In every kilometre, finishing less than four hun- dred metres behind the Frenchman. "Aviation week” came to its official olose today with a gala breakfast giver, by the committee of organization In honor of the aviators. There were over five hundred guests present, and in- tense enthusiasm in the matter of 'the wonderful success of the week was manifested on every hand. Bleriot at- tended with his arm in a sling, a result ofjiis accident yesterday, and he and Glenn H. Curtiss, the American; Henry Farman. the Englishman, and Hubert Latham and Louis Paulhan, the French flyers, received ovations, the assemblage arising again and again o cheer them. WRIGHT TESTS NEW PLANE. BERLIN, Aug. 30.—Orville Wright tested his German-built aeroplane In a fifteen-minute flight shortly after daylight today above the Tempelhof parade ground. The aeronaut is gen- erally satisfied with the way In which the craft behaved. VANCE, SECRETARY TO MAYOR, BACK FROM CANADA Attended Meet of League of American Municipalities. Wilson J. Vance, secretary to Mayor Haussling. returned to the Cit-v Hall today, after an absence of three weeks. He arrived here from Montreal, where, < as representative of the mayor, he at- tended the annual convention of/the League of American Municipalities. The rest of the time he spent at North- port, L.

STRIFE WAS RIFE

Today’s Hearing Brings Out Story of a Thrilling

Encounter.

* Vice-Chancellor Howell today heard counsel in the matter of the applica- tion of Robert E. Logue for an order restraining the Whitney Steel Con- struction Company, which has charge of the work on the new Firemen’s In- surance building at Broad and Market streets, from Inserting any more iron girders in the building he occupies as a cafe at 181 Market street.

When the various affidavits were

read, facts were brought out never

before made public. A few days after the preliminary ol-

der was granted, former Judge Alfred X. Skinner appeared before the vice- chancellor and had the order modified to allow his clients to Insert one more

beam, because the building had sunk three-quarters of an inch.

When the men started to do the work a night manager in the cafe appeared and attacked the foreman, injuring him so badly he had to receive treatment in a hospital. It is also alleged that a

certain police officer Interefered without warrant. It was not until Superin- tendent of Buildings O'Rourke ap- peared and notified the tenants that he would order all to vacate the bulldirg because it was unsafe, that the work was allowed to proceed. This makes 1 all six beams that have pieiced the walls of the building to render It sif? front the sinking consequent to the excavation next door.

The old English common law states

that one must protect the land of an

adjoining owner, and this is modified In this State by the statutory law. which add that he must also protect the building.

Walter .1. Knight, counsel for Logue. contended the defendants were injuring his client's building by the holes mad?, and also claimed the beams interfered with the transaction of business.

Judge Skinner answered that the end justified the means. The defendant cut in the walls to save the building, and would later fix up the holes in the same condition as formerly, he held.

Decision will be rendered later.

OVER'ZEALOUS CELEBRATION LANDS THEM IN COURT.

Woman Goes to Jail for Church Disturbance.

Evidently everyone in Newark didn’t bo to Coney Island yesterday to enjoy

i the Sunday: on the contrary, many stayed home and enjoyed the day in their own peculiar way, with the re- sult that the police of the Third Pre- cinct were forced to make a few ar- rests for intoxication and loitering.

HERE’S A SNAKE STORY THAT’S REALLY TRUE.

Wife of Haussling's Clerk Is Sponsor for the Tale.

Many folks have heard ghost, fish and snake stories. Some you have be-

lieved and others, doubtless, you haven't, but here is a snake story the truth of which is authenticated by Mrs. Gilroy, the wife of John J. Gilroy, Mayor Haussling’s clerk, and William E. Coryell, of Whippany.

Mr. Gilroy and Ills family are spend- ing the summer at Mr. Coryell’s place in Whippany. and, like all good hus- bands, Mr. Gilroy- went up on Saturday to spend the week-end with his family. Mrs. Gilroy called their 4-year-old son, Elvin J., to prepare him to meet his father at the station. Young Elvin was nowhere in sight, and a hurried search was made, in tile belief that the child was lost. He was found in the rear of the barn, about 150 feet back of the house, with a pitchfork in his hands, sticking the prongs into a

large biacksnake, and was Just picking it up to bring back to the house. When Mr. Coryell measured the snake he

found it was three feet ten inches long.

ANOTHER 5 P. C. TAX CONFAB ON DENMAN’S RETURN, j

Board of Works Commissioner Expected in Next Few Days.

Another conference between City En- gineer Morris It. Sherrerd, Commis- sioner Arthur R. Denman, of the Board of Works, and Matthew Boylan, auditor of the Public Service Corporation, on

the matter of the proposed ordinance for the plan of levying the 5 per cent, tax on the receipts of trolley cars will be held as soon as Commissioner Den- man returns tb the city. Hd is expected here within the next few days.

The company has expressed its will- ingness to accede to any reasonable proposition advanced by the Board of Works. At present to the two plans most favored out of those suggested arc the car mileage and the “stop-the- elock" systems. The latter is the most under discussion, but the corporation sees drawbacks to it in the fact that on the South orange line, where cars are run at three distances, only one of which is within the city limits, it might be difficult to kfeep the tally straight of those going beyond the city lines. It will be suggested at the conference that some kind of a test be made by whi-h this difficulty may be met.

EAST FOB PABK COPS 10 SI LIFE

Guardians Come Out with Fly ing Colors in Thrilling

Dummy Tests.

Essex Park policemen rehearseu possible future feats of heroism during (lie annual swimming con tests at the Branch Brook boat-house today, and the ease with which dum- mies were rescued demonstrated that the park guardians are thoroughly equipped by their training lo save hu- man life. All records of last yeai were shattered.

Potter Hines, scratch man, carried off top honors in the 100-yard senioi swim, making the distance in 1 minute 17 3-5 seconds, while George Brodesser, who swam in' the intermediate class, covered the distance in 2 minutes 11 2-5 seconds. In both events the police low- ered their records of last year.

In the diving contest only two suc- ceeded In raising the dummy from the bottom of the stream. Oscar Kchumar. had a streak of luck and found the. imitation McGlnty at the first dive, in exactly 34 seconds after diving from the wharf of the boat-house. However, he had a close race for first place, and for a time it looked as though the hon- ors would go to George Millfr. as then was some dispute among the judges as to his time. The three judges each re-

corded a different time. The time ol the stop watc-h of Mayor J H. Hawl- son, of Caldwell, who acted as judge und starter, was finally agreed upon and showed that Miller had lost by just 1-5 of a second.

The banks surrounding the boat- house were dotted with spectators, who [ were well rewarded for their wait. In each event medals were awarded for first and second places, and presented to the winners by Alonzo Church, sec- retary of the Park Commission.

The entries and time of winners fol- low :

Senior 100-Yard' Swim—Potter Haines, lm. 17 3-Ss.; G. Gecgan. lm. 42s.; James darken, 2m. 5s. The other entries were Sehnman, Dunn, Chadwick, Miller and Cullen.

Intermediate 100-Yard Swim—George Broedesser. 2m. 112-5s.; Charles Mur- ray, 2m. 28s. The other entries were Heins and. Moore.

Junior 50-Yard Event—Walter Wilde- ntan, 50'is.; George Bonnett, 59 3-5s. The other entries were Thomasson und) Gloosglaus.

The judges were Mayor J. H. Harri- son. Charles Holzhauer and Gustav Hornfeck.

Startpr—Mayor J. H. Harrison, of Caldwell.

DIES IN AGONY Conscious Thirteen Hours After

Upsetting Pot of Boil" ing Syrup.

[Special to the Newark Star.] ELIZABETH. Aug. 30.—Terribly

scalded by boiling syrup, Christian

Frank Ahrens, 2 years old, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Christian .1. Ahrens, of 823

Madison avenue, North Elizabeth, died early today after suffering thirteen hours.

The baby climbed on a chair stand- ing against the kitchen tubs in the Ahrens home yesterday morning, grasped at the handle of a large kettle which the mother had a short time be- fore filled with boiling plum syrup from fruit she was preserving and deluged himself with the scalding fluid. The mother and father rushed to their child’s side, poured linseed oil on his burns and called for aid. Dr. Theodore Llvengood was summoned and worked for some time over the baby. The child could only say ’’mairva" and “papa," but remained conscious until shortly before the end.

The mother, fearing just such an ac-

cident as occurred, had left the chil- dren with their father in an adjoining | room. Mr. Ahrens went to the kitchen to get some milk for the baby and! his sister, 4-year-old Lillian Frances, and the baby toddled softly out after him.

The Ahrens have lived at their pres- ent address since last April. Mr. Ahrens is a compositor in the employ of the STAR.

MAY REMOVE LIDS OF BALLOT'BOXES TO VOTE.

Attorney*General So Advises Secretary of State. [Prom a Staff Correspondent.]

TRENTON, Aug. 30.—Secretary of State Samuel D. Dickinson has been Hdvlsed by the attorney-general that If the ballots for the constitutional amendment, election are too large to ire pushed through the slots of regular ballot-boxes, the llde of the boxes may be removed and the ballots deposited through the open tops of the boxes.

The act providing for the constitu- tional elections provides that the voting shall be done In conformity with the general election laws, as far as is practicable. Assistant Attorney-Gen- eral Gaskill bolds that if the ballots will not go through the slots in the boxes, then an impracticable situation arises, which may be overcome by making the boxes practicable by re- moving the entire top.

He also holds that the absence of a box which has been adopted by custom for voting purposes cannot defeat the right of legal voters to cast their bal- lots, and that any kind of a box would be legal.

ANOTHER CURTISS TRIUMPH PLACES AMERICA IN LEAD

(Continued from First Page.)

It will remain with us, who have been

pioneers in the science of flying. "Since I have come here, a stranger,

I have received nothing but courteous and fair treatment from the French, who are excellent sportsmen.

"In regard to speed I am certain the aeroplane that will go a mile a minute is close at hand. My own machine, differently adjusted can make better time than it has made, and it must be remembered this is in trade language a “stock machine” fitted with a sixty- jiorse power engine.

"We are only at the beginning of the

marvels to ■ be shown In the conquest of the air. but this meeting has demon- strated beyond all question that flying by man has arrived for all the world.

"One thing I regret. I am sorry Bleriot, who made such a fine record, was prevented by accident from trying for the cup. I'm sorry for Bleriot, but I'm glad the cup is ours. I believe we can keep it.”

CurtlBS only missed winning the lap speed contest from Bleriot by a small margin. He captured second place In that event, wJilch was over the full circuit of ten kilometres, or 6.21 miles, raising his total money winnings for the meeting to 38,000 francs, besides the International cup, which goes to the Aero Club of America, inscribed with his name.

As In the cup contest, an accident— the only serious one of the meeting- removed Bleriot, the American's most dangerous competitor, from the three- lap speed contest. Bleriot's escape from death was a narrow one. He had passed the first turn In the Prix de la Vitesse when the rucider suddenly failed to respond. The machine turned com- pletely over three trmes, landing with such force that the petrol tank burst, and catching fire from trtb hot motor, enveloped the machine and pilot in flames. Before Bleriot could extricate himself he was burned about the face and hands, but not seriously.

With Bleriot out of the contest, Lath- am remained Curtiss's only serious rival. The race was intensely exciting. Latham, with No. 13. started four min- utes ahead of tire American, who gave chase. Curtisa overhauled him In every kilometre, finishing less than four hun- dred metres behind the Frenchman.

"Aviation week” came to its official olose today with a gala breakfast giver, by the committee of organization In honor of the aviators. There were over five hundred guests present, and in- tense enthusiasm in the matter of 'the wonderful success of the week was manifested on every hand. Bleriot at- tended with his arm in a sling, a result ofjiis accident yesterday, and he and Glenn H. Curtiss, the American; Henry Farman. the Englishman, and Hubert Latham and Louis Paulhan, the French flyers, received ovations, the assemblage arising again and again • o cheer them.
