Tradesmen's Bank of Philadelphia

He Hangs on Hard as Coun5et Tor tne
Tradesmen's Bank of Philadelphia
A case involving grip like that with
which Republican ofIiee holder sticks
to good thing when he has it. was de-
veloped in the Circuit Court yesterday
before Judge Knapp.
The Tradesmen's National Bank of
Philadelphia some time ago recovered in
the New York Courts a Judgment by de-
fault against Avis Kremer for So, 900.
The bank then employed Louis Hood,
Newark lawyer, to bring suit on the
Judgment in this State. He did SO ana
began the action In this county, but be-
yond beginning the suit, it is claimed, that
Mr.. Hood has done nothing else.
Counsellor James W. Nj. Newlin, Of
Newark, yesterday applied to Judge
Knapp, on behalf of the bank, to have
Counsellor Louis Hood discharged from
the case as attorney This very unusual
motion caused the other lawyers in the
Court room to open their ears and eyes,
and attracted the closest attention OF
Judge Knapp.
Mi. Newlin stated to the Court that he
represented the Philadelphia bank, and
for it had employed Lawyer Hood. He
said the case had been set down for a
hearing in Court four times, and that Mr..
Hood had failed to be present on each oc-
casion. These repeated tai ures
had caused Mr. Newhn much
Inconvenience. Beside these, Mr.. Newlin
said the delay had enabled the defendant,
Kremer, to SO dispose OF his property that
it will cause the bank much trouble to
recover the amount due.
Mr., Newlin added that he had repeat
edly written Lawyer Hood, but had re-
ceived no reply from him. He had offered
TO pay Hood any tse that Hood thou ght
proper If he would retire from the
case, but this proposition was not
accepted For this reoson Mr..
Newlin asked the aid Of the Court in
getting rid Of the tenacious Lawyer Hood.
Mr.. Newlin in open court made the
proposition that the bank would pay Mr..
Hood any fee that Judge Knapp would
suggest, if he would retire, or if the
Court would grant a rule dfscontinuing
Mr. Hood as attorney for the bank. the
institution would pay Hood any fee for
his services Judge Knapp deemed proper
The Count plainly indicated that he
appreciated thoroughly the delicate na-
ture Of the case, aud declined TO dispose
of it until Wednesday. Mr.. Newlin said
he could not be present on that day, but
he retained Counsellor John C. Besson,
who wss in court, to look after the matt er
for him.

Special to the Jersey Cffg Eers
TRENTON, May u, 1S9L-State Dairy
Commissioner George Mcguire has infor-
nation that the manufacturers and Job
bers Of oleomargarine and colored butter
expect to unload vast amounts of the
stuff on the proprietors of the seashore
hotels at Long Branch. Asbury PARK,
Beach Haven, Atlantic City and Cape
May.
The Dairy Commissioner proposes to
prevent the proprietors OF these hotels
from being imposed on By notifying them
OF the requirements of the law and ne
will hold them accountable for all of the
bogus article found In their possession.
He makes the statement that oleomar-
garine is quite generally used IN the sum-
mer hotels. and many hotels charging
four and six dollars day set IL out on
the table. Some of the proprietors know
just what the article Is and 9TH hers do not.
His deputies have secnred evidence that
a number OF the hotels at Atlantic City
have already put In large quantities OF
the bogus article.
The agents of the oleomargarinef factories
are making contracts with hotel proprie-
tors at other resorts The Dairy Commits
sioner has the right to 20 into every hotel
storeroom and inspect such butter as he
finds there. In many instances the hotel
proprietor buys It as the genuine article,
being tempted by its low price and de-
ceived bv its appearance IL the State
Com missioner finds this bogus article in
his possession and in packages not
mar ked according TO the law the hotel
proprietor can be prosecuted.
The State Commissioner takes the posi-
tion that these extreme measures are
necessary to reach the men who are re-
sponsible for flooding the State with the
bogus article AS there is much of the
article in hand and the prosecution in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania has made
a very close market the jobbers are forced
to utilize the seashore hotels to unload
the product. The enormous demands of
the hotels afford them an opportunity TO

The Freeholders WIN Appoint Their
Clerks to Office Again.
The annual meeting of the Board of
Freeholders will take place tomorrow
night. The law requires that meeting
shall be held on this date each year, and
that clerk shall be elected.
There is now no opposition worth notic-
ing to the reappointment of John Boyd,
Clerk, nor to that OF John Noonan, As
sistant Clerk, and these efficient officers
will serve the county for another year be-
yond doubt.
It has been rumored that the Free
holders would dismiss all the employees
of the county excepting the statutory
ones and reappoint nearly all of them to-
morrow night. This rumor is probably not
true. 1t could not be verified today. The
freeholders may, however, appoint sue
cessor to Judge John A. McGrath as
counsel TO the Board and create the new
Office of County Attorney. If Judge
McGrath's resignation is rendered this
will be done, but not otherwise.
