TELEPHONE POLES IN STREETS.
Supreme Courts Decision Adverse to
the Southern Eel COMPANY

In the United States Supreme Court an
opinion was rendered today in the case of
the city of Richmond (VaD versus the
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company. The controversy involved the
right of the telephone company to locate its
poles and wires in the streets and alleys of
the city regardless of the protest of the
local municipal authorities, the claim of the
telephone company being made under the
act of Congress of 1866 granting such right
generally to telegtaph companies.
The decision was favorable to the conten-
ton of the city ana adverse TO the tele-
concession to telegraph companies could nor
be made to include telephone companies,
The opinion was handed down by Justice
Harlan.

ness, told of half dozen visits paid by him
to Horton during the incarceration of the
latter in Jail. He detailed the manner and
conversation of the defendant on those oc-
casions. Summing up, the witness gave it
his opinion that Horton is victim of
moral insanity" being morally depraved
man, having no control over his desires. Dr.
Stoutenburgh further said that he con-
siders the defendant at the present time of
unsound nina, although, he said, his per-
ceptive faculties are better than they were
last September. Moral and emotional forms
of insanity, according to the witness, are
recognized by the highest medical authori-

When the trial of George W. Horton, in
dicted for the murder of Mrs. Jane Nichol-
son. the 2+th of last June was resumed to-
day In Criminal Court No. l, the defense
proceeded with the introduction of testi-
mony tending to prove Horton insane. A
large number of witnesses were examined,
all reciting in detail queer actions and con-
duct on the part of the defendant, observed
by them from time to time and which gave
rise to the opinion in their minds that he is
OF unsound mind. The appearance of Hor-
ton was unchanged today from last week.
Sitting beside him during the proceedings

to the Rescue.

Through the streets of Jersey City
wandered all day yesterday Mrs. Mary
Guguski and her little family of three
children. Anton, five years old; Mary,
three, and Gussie, an infant in her
mothers arms. They had not a mouth
full of food to eat or a glass of water to
drink. They were turned from their
home at No. "A Morris street, early in the
morning.
Mrs. Guguski, with her mother and
children, arrived in this country about
three months ago, and took rooms in the
Morris street house. The husband Sc
cured a position and for a time all ooked
rosy for the foreigners. But not being
thoroughly acquainted with the English
language. the man did not hold his posi-
tion long and the family was soon in a
bad condition. There was nothing to
keep them alive and the husband became
Disguised with hard luck and abandoned
his wife and children. Mrs. Guguski
kept the little family together by doins
whatever work she could find. Having an
infant to look after, however, she found
the task more than she could stand and
she was compelled to give up the work.

Mrs. Guguski packed up a few of her
belongings and left the house to seek
shelter the best she could. About nine
o'clock last night some church people
found the family seated on a stoop on
Morris street. The children were crying
bitterly from the effects of hunger. The
mother did her utmost to comfort the
tots, but her soothing words did not have
the desired effect.

the position Of the little family went to

1t Is to be hoped that society viii not

guilt is proven. 1t has had the seal OF
a judicial decision set upon it as a mat

following the divorce is tantamount to
a confession of guilt. In presence or
the world can continue to acknowledge
the woman and still pretend to hold the
marriage tie in respect or to accord any
obedience to the dictates of religion and
morality.
1t is perfectly true that there are many
just as bad as she who hold up their
heads in society. 1t is true that many,
to whom the finger of suspicion points
in~sistently. are tolerated by men and
women who are themselves honest in
their lives. But this fact should not be
used to open the door for those whose
guilt is a certainty. SO long as society
can ignore the errors of its members, 1t
is entitled to do so. Those who are sus-
pected of moral wrongdoing, like persons
accused of crime, are entitled to the bene-
fit of the doubt, and in giving them such
benefit, society does not condone the Of
lenses of which they are or may be
guilty. But when society is confronted

no stigma, and in no way units men

purity of character. This principle be-
