DROWNED OFF HONDURAS.
Stephen Burke Supposed to Be One
Of the Shipwrecked People.

News has been received by Mr.. John j.
Burke, of No. 620 Bergen avenue. that
his son, Stephen j. Burke, travelling
salesman, was drowned off the coast of
Honduras. The sad intelligence was first
conveyed to Mr.. Burke by Miss May
Doehler, of Philadelphia, young lady
with whom the young salesman corre-
sponded while travelling. 1t is supposed
that letter containing Miss ,Doehlers
name and address was found in the pock-
cts of the drowned man. A cablegram
dated from Galveston, Texas, merely
stating the fact that Mr.. Burke had
been drowned off the cost of Honduras in
a wreck was received by Miss Doehler.
The cablegram was signed 'sBird." Miss
Doehler and the bereaved family do not
know who bird" is He may be an
official of Galveston or he may be one of
the survivors of the wrecked vessel
The drowned man was IN partnership
with his brother-in-law, w. ]. brewery,
as travelling agents Cor various firms. He
was to have joined Mr.. and Mrs. .Dremery
at Puerto Cortez, Honduras, and for this
purpose left Kingston, Jamaica, whittier
he had taken a line of samples, on De-
cember 2S. This fact was learned in
letter he wrote to Miss Doehler the day
The bereaved family fear that the meet
ing took place before the wreck occurred
and that all three were drowned Mr.
Burke is using every effort to get fur
ther particulars of the wreck. Young
Burke, who is twenty-five years old, sin
gle, and we'll known athletic, left home
in September last. Mr.. and Mrs. Oremery
left to join him in Peurto-Cortez, early in
December. From letters received while
away Mr.. Burke has reasons to believe
that his son had a considerable amount of
money with him. The trio were to leave
Puerto-Cortez for Alabama.
The drowned man has younger broth
er, who lives on the Hill with his father.
He is John ]. Burke, the well known
champion long distance runner and as
sistant sporting editor of the Newark
Advertiser Stephen Burke met Miss
Doebler at Asbury Park last summer,
Mhile- he was camping out there with his
Brother and Messrs. M. E. Hotz and ].
w. Flammerman.

POWERS or JUSTICES OF THE PEACE
Mr.. Goldenhorn Will Attempt to
Define Them Next Week.

z An important point of law will be
raised next Wednesday when the case OF
State Dairy Commissioner George Nc
Guire against Isaac Frank, of No. 60
Market street, Newark, who is charged
with selling oleomargarine as butter,
comes up for trial before Justice of the
Peace Rapp. The contention will be made
that under the provisions of the new Dis
trict Court act Justice Rapp cannot try
the case. The point has never been raised
before Suits by the Dairy Commissioner
have always been tried before Justices of
the Peace
The contention will be raised by Law
yer Isaac Goldenhorn of Jersey City, who
is counsel for Frank. He holds that Nc
Cures action against his client is a
civil one-the summons in the case is en-
dorsed Civil subpoena and he quotes
the opinion of Chief Justice Hornblower.
The opinion is:-"The act, though penal,
is not criminal 1t is a civil suit between
private parties. A Justice of the Peace
has power to try the action as a Court of
Competent Jurisdiction only under the
act constituting courts for the trial of
small causes.
Lawyer Goldenhorn says the power of
the Justice Oh the HedCe TO lTy SlHdll
causes is revoked by the following sec
tion of the District Court act:-''No JUS
tice of the Peace or Court for the trial of
small causes shall have jurisdiction over
any proceeding cogniZable before a Dis
trict Court, where the defendant or de-
PENDANTS reside within the limits OF any
city where District Court is established;
nor shall any Justice of the Peace resi-
dent within the limits of city where a
District Court is or may be established
exercise any civil juridiction whatever"
Frank was arrested January 10 for SELL
ing the oleomargarine. Morris Place,
teel of Commissioner McGuire's, went
into the store and asked for some but
ter Frank gave it to him.
'gThat is not what I want said Place.
81 want some of that stuff" pointing
to the tub of oleomargarine. Frank gave
him what he asked for, but did not offer
to sell it to him either as butter or oleo-
margarine. He was charged with viol-
ating the law, in that he did not have
''oleomargarine" in large letters on each
side of the tub.
