MANY CONFERENCES THERE. BUT THE
SITUATION NO CLEARER.

Camden n. j.. Dec. 81 (SpeciaD-It was
the opinion of the many well known Repuoi-
cans here to-day that the political situation in
the State was full of possibilities OF candi-
dates for United States Senator there seemed
TO be a-plenty this afternoon. as the leaders or
the Republican hosts gathered in the rooms OF
the Republican Club to look over the field
Up the street a bit there another gathering
with little more weight. but little more OF
the sphinx like character. Attorney General
Grey had invited the men who made up the list
of honorary pallbearers at the funeral of Senator
Sewell to be his guests. There Governor Noor-
hees. ex-Attorney General Griggs, Senator
kean, State Assessor Baird Chancery Clerk
Stokes and several other State leaders were In
conference with the visitors. When the latter
had departed there some desUltory talk or
the situation but, according to one who was
present, nothing of value nor anything DEF
initely bearing upon the political situation was
brought up.
Mr.. Griggs and Mr.. Stokes, who have been
considered as candidates to succeed General
Sewell. had some words of informal charac-
ter. but neither asked the other for his support,
nor did either say what he expected to DO IN
view Of the recent death of General SeWell II
may be some days before the situation can be
sized up with any clearness. At present the
candidates seem to be John w. Griggs, David
6. Baird. Barker Gummere, John F. Dryden,
Edward c. Stokes. possibly. and John J. Gardner
There may be others in the list, but they VIII
not figure. according to those who seem TO un-
derstand the situation.

NEW JERSEY NEWS.
CITY SUED FOR 100000.
PROPERTY OWNERS WANT DAMAGES
FROM PATERSON FOR POLLUTION
OF PASSAIC RIVER

Paterson, Dec. 81 (SpeciaD.-Sut begun in
the Court of Chancery to-day by Henry W. Dore-
mus and about thirty other property owners on
the banks of the Passaic River against the city of
Paterson restrain the city from emptying its
sewage into river and asking for 81 4O2 300 dam
ages. 1t is practically Passaic City business men 8
and manufacturers movement The complanants
comprise nearly all the owners of land both

Passaic to this city. Some OF the claimed as
damages are: Botany Worsted Company. 100000:
Dundee Woollen Company, 100000; Andrew Nc
Lean Company, $4,000; United States Finishing
Company, $500 600; Worthen Aldrich Company
100000; Passaic Woollen Company 100000, and p.
P Van Bussum. S23 900.
The bill is a volumnous document, and
piled by r. V. Lindabury and Steward pepue. They
have spent long time in gathering the data.
About four years ago Samuel r.. Phillips and the
city of Jersey City started a suit against Paterson
restrain the latter from emptying its into
the Passaic River, which, It was claimed was there
by polluted. Chancellor MCGin granted the injunc-
tfon but the Court of Errors and Appeals reversed
the decree. holding that Paterson could not be
stopped in that way from dsposing of its sewage.
The decision of the court hinted that the only re-
dress by suit for damages, and the suit now
started seems to have taken that cue.

Dear Judge Landon We deeply regret that
the expiration Of your term of office tai kes YOU
HCn our court at the end Of the year Our
PERSONAL relations have been pleasant and

OF Juolclsl service, as well the grateful en-
cconllum OF bench and bar and the public. We'll

The members Of the Court of Appeals have
reason for rejoicing that by their hard and
persistent work during the last three years they
nave largely reduced the number of suits before
them. Two years ago at this time they had
one thousand suits awaiting consideration A
year ago they had reduced the number to 7O3

oil the suits before the court and these number
only $50 in all
Al Vas the belief Of Alton B. Parker the
Nhfef Judge. and his fellow judges that by the
0o'uon Of two more Judges to the Court of APP
pesls and by pushing action on suits before 1t
ne court could catch UP with it's work. The

opportunity 10 test this plan, and, as will be
seen by the statement above, the theory was
proved correct.
