DECKERS TO Be SOCIAL.
They Give Up Politics When
Their Leader Pulls the
String.

IL IS now definitely settled that tile
Decker Republican Club is to be abolish
ed and social club formed instead. AT q
meeting held last night on Bergen avenue,
Denind closed doors, a committee reported
that 1t had modified and changed the con-
stltutlon and bylaws to allow the ne
club to be called a social Organization,
What name the new club will have is a
mystery. 1t may be called after Decker
but some doubt it. Final action was de-
ferred on this matter but there IS nc
doubt as to the result of the recent COM
ferences held between Decker and the or
ganization.
The independent Republicans can "ses
their finish now. When this club is con-
verted into social one, the Ward Associ-
alton, which is now controlled by the in
dependents, will move to the new Eighth
ward quarters on Vidginla avenue. 1t will
then only be question of time when the
ma sine will control.
Decker is chairman, and as he caters to
the leaders his position will cause many
changes to be wrought in the policy of the
independents. 1t also remains to be seer
whether the ring people will carry Out
their word to the Deckerites and give halt
of all that's DOING Some radical
changes are now looked for
There is much talk of forming a new
political club if the machine people fail
to keep their word. There will always be
discomfort in that word and harmony is
far off.

WORKROOM SALE
More Money Taken in Satur-
day Than in Whole Week
Last Time.

The annual sale of garments from and
for the benefit of the workroom con-
nected with the Organized Aid Associa-
ton of this city opened Saturday at No.
101 Newark avenue, under even more
auspicious conditions than the last. To
begin with, the sale is better located,
being right on the avenue in the heart
of the shopping district, and then there
is an improvement in the garments
themselves. Better things have been do
mated.
The sale opened Saturday about noon,
under the direction of Miss West, super
intendent of the workroom. and some of
the women from there 1t included all
sorts of things. made-over garments,
hats, shoes, rag. carpets, rugs, children $
clothing. sofa cushions. and a few stray
articles, not exactly under the head of
clothing, such as baby carriages and
trunks.
Saturday afternoon was the busiest
time. and in one day, it is claimed, more
money has been taken in than in one
week at the last.
The children's garments sell best, then
mems clothing, especially trousers, while
hats come in for no end of favor. They
sell like hot cakes. Last years summer
hat, trimmed with a few roses, prove
very attractive to the patronizers of the
workroom sale, and Miss West has sent
out plea for more consignments of
these goods as well as for children's gar
ments, as she is pretty well sold out of
them. In fact, she says anything at all
not entirely beyond redemption is salable,
and urgently asks for more goods. Con-
signments may be sent in her care to the
workroom, No. ISL Montgomery street,
where they will be overhauled, mended
and made ready for sale.
The sale will continue for couple of
weeks, or until all the things are sold
out. 1t promises to be a big success.
Last year it netted the workroom $S5.

NO MONEY FOR HAvELL
Jury Decides There's No Truth in
His Tale About His Wife.

1t took jury in the Circuit Court less
than five minutes yesterday afternoon to
decide that Frank G. Howell was not en-
titled to any part of the $4,000 he asked
from Policeman George w. Mullaney of
Bayonne, for the alleged alienation of the
affections of Mrs. Howell, who was a sis
ter of the defendant.
AT the conclusion of the trial it was
plainly evident that a majority of the
jurors thought there was no necessity fer
them to leave the jury box in order to re-
turn their verdict. Several hesitated but
a few did not know that such a course
was permissible, led the way to the jury
take a single ballot and they returned
with verdict for the defendant The
court room was full of Mullaney SYM
pathizers who effusively expressed their
favorable opinion of the good judgment
displayed by the jurors
Mrs. Howell when called to the stand to
testify denied that her brother, George,
had Influenced her to leave her husband
She identified the pieces of her marriage
certificate which she said had been torn
up by her husband. She said her hus-
band had thrown hot water at her and
called her vile names in the presence of
her children. The witness contradicted
the testimony of her daughter and said
that Howell had called her Trolley
House Mag" She said he threatened to
put her in the lunatic asylum or in the
grave and that the whole trouble was
caused by her refusal to give him the
money left her by her father Mrs
Howell identified a number of letters
written by her husband in which George
Mullaney was referred to as .Bullhead =
James Howell, a brother of the plain
tiff, was then called for the defense. He
said he had heard his brother talking
| about his wife's character in saloon.
The witness refused to listen and when
his brother called him s'big calf he
knocked the brother down. On cross-ex-
animation the witness admitted that there
was bad blood between his brother and
himself. He said he was not on good
terms with his brother because the
brother had once struck their mother.
did you see him do it?" asked Lawyer
Salter.
mo, but my mother told me of it, re-
piled the witness. ''If I had seen it ne
would not have been here today pressing
tIllS suit
The testimony of the defendant, George
w. Mullaney, was a general denial of the
charge that he had influenced his sister
to leave her husband.
The plaintiff when called in rebuttal
admitted that his brother had struck him.
but denied that he had called his wife
names.
Lawyer Salter when about to begin his
summing up, said he would ask that coun-
sci refrain from using vile language in
their addresses to the jury
Ex-Judge Hudspeth, who represented
the defense, replied that he would do as
he pleased about that. 1.-THE case is one
that calls for vile language" he said,
| "and propose to call a spade spades'
He made good his promise and in sum-
ming up he scored the plaintiff unmerci-
fully, declaring, that it was the almighty
dollar alone that Howell was after.

NEW CHANCERY COURT.
The New Rooms in CONNER
cial Trust Building Finest
in the State.

Vice Chancellor Stevenson came to the
new Chancery Chambers this morning to
hear two cases which had been set down
before him for today. Neither litigants
or counsel appeared. however, and, after
admiring the new chambers, the Vice
Chancellor went home to Paterson.
Guess the parties in the case got lost
in the moving" said Sergeant-at-Arms
Haggerty, who has been driven almost
out of his peace of min by the troubles
he has had getting the court from one
building to another. The rooms which the
Court Of Chancery is to occupy in the new
building of the Commercial Trust Conn
pany are now completed and ready for
occupancy and all who have seen them
declare they are the finest in the State,
not excepting the much vaunted rooms in
the Prudential Building in Newark. They
are located on the eighth floor, in the rear
of the building, where a fine view of the
bay and harbor can be had and where the
noise and confusion of the street, which
was the great drawback of the old court,
cannot penetrate. There are two main
court rooms, with the private chambers
of the chancellors and the office of the
sergeant-at-arms between. They are ap-
preached through a wide marble lobby,
having settees where witnesses and liti-
gants can assemble and talk over their
affairs without disturbing the court. From
this lobby there are entrances into each
court room, which are screened with
large oaken screens in order that people
may enter and leave the rooms without
disturbing the proceedings before the
court.
Heavy cocoa mating covers these en-
frances and the portion reserved for spec
tators, and the latter part of the room
is furnished with oaken settees. An
artistically carved railing divides this part
of the room from that reserved for mem
bers of the bar. The floor here is covered
with dark green velvet carpet and the
space is furnished with oaken tables and
leather back chairs. Off of the room on
the east side is small room where coun-
sci can prepare their papers and where,
when necessary, third Vice chancellor
can hear an argument.

CRASHED into PIER.
Hoboken's Welcome to Bre
men Line Somewhat
Marred by Accident

A panic was restrained with difficulty
by the police when the Bremen liner
Grosser Kurfurst crashed into the head
end of the pier made ready for its arr
rival in Hoboken last night The big
steamship was going at the rate of eigAt
knots an hour and plowed it's nose into
SIX feet of mashed timber before the on
gines could be reversed Following tNe
crash a mad scamper for the street gates
was made by the thousand or more
people on the pier and the bluecoats
Were forced to draw clubs to keep them
back and restore order.
The accident was caused through some
misunderstanding of signals between tie
pilot and the two tugboat captains watt
ing to take the Kurfurst in tow. stroIg
flood tide was flowing and the steamer
was able to make the pier without the
assistance of the tugs. In swinging around
to be berthed the tugs were to have as
sisted her, but they were not at her side
until it was too late to prevent the
crash
But for this incident little excitement
attended the return of the Bremen Line
to Hoboken with the arrival of the Kur-
furst. Mayor Pagan and the Citizens
Committee went to meet the liner on
tug and boarded her at Quarantine at
$3.50 r. M. An informal reception was
held in the main salon, at which
speeches were made by Captain W.
Relmkasten, Mayor Pagan, Pore Com
missioner Lankering and DIR. Samuel
Heller, President of the Health Board.

The Sheriff was in no Immediate hurry,
and while he was discussing the subject

Atkinson, DR.. Hendricks mortal foe on

one Murphy, should not be set aside.
DR.. Hendrick was plainly angry, but the
trolley lines. were not interfered with.
