SAW MOTHER GHOST.
Thinks She Told Him to Repel
an Intruder-Held for Mental
Examination.

The sad case of a man whose mind
became unbalanced in consequence Of
over physical exertion and worry while
trying to support his wife and two small
children, was heard by Police Justice
Hoos in the First Criminal Court this af-
Iernoon. The prisoner was Eugene
Burke, a locomotive fireman, of No. 20o
Fourteenth street, who was arrested by
Captain John T. Kelly on complaint of
Mrs. Victoria Burke, his wife.
Burke was the last of long list of
petty offenders to be arraigned. He did
not ike the idea of being shut up in the
prisoners room adjoining the court, and
suddenly opened the door.
4 want my dinner and am going
home, . he yelled.
Detective Doyle quieted him, and a
few minutes later Burke again poked his
head into the court room and said
Say, / can't wait here any longer.
I've got to have something to eat. It's
past dinner time"
When he was arraigned Mrs. Burke

ways been 4 sober and affectionate hus-
band and a hard worker. He was em-
ployed as fireman by the Lackawanna
Railroad for ten years. Sometimes he
worked S6 to IS hours without being re-
lieved and came home physically ex-
hausted.
He stuck to his job. bad as it was,
because lie expected to be promoted. He
was discharged last October and was out
of employment for some time. The ter
rife strain under which he had labored
weakened him physically. He worried
continually until last Christmas, when he
got a job on the Erin. He didn't make
much money. however, and worried so
hard over it that his mind gave way"
Burke was held for examination by
County Physician Converse into his sam
ity.
Burke said that his mother, who has
been dead nine years. came down to
earth last night and informed him that
a man was at the kitchen door armed
with shot gun to kill him. Burke got
an axe and paraded through the rooms
threatening his wife bodily harm in case
she attempted to prevent him from doing
up the intruher. Mrs. Burke then called
in Captain Kelly.

ESSEX VS.. HUDSON.
Plank Road Suit Resumed This
Afternoon in Chancery.

This afternoon Vice Chancellor Stew
enson is hearing arguments IN the DIS.
pute between Hudson and Essex counties
as to the apportionment in the matter OF
cost OF maintenance and operation of the
Newark Plank Road. The question for
the Vice Chancellor to decide is whether
or not Essex county uses the road moIeH
than Hudson, and it is almost beyond a
doubt settled that Essex does, and, sec
ondly.. what share should each bear.
The Plank Road bridges are estimated
to be worth about S225. 600, and how
much has each county to pay? The set
Element of the road, so far as mainteE-
ance is concerned, after acquisition by
the Counties will be an easier problem
since there will be the precedent laid
down by the Vice Chancellor to follow.
When the Court assembled after re-
cess County Counsel John Griffin began
his argument for Hudson. He contend
ed that this county had always been
ready to meet Essex in any reasonable
proposition, but the act of 1901 was as
unfair to this county as it could be.
Essex, he claimed, it had been abun-
rantly proved used at least so per cent.
of the road for vehicles, taking its pro-
ducts east to Jersey City and Newark,
while Hudson only sent about 20 per
cent. westward. The road was used
more then by Essex and that county
should bear the proportionate share of
the cost.
Essex's County Counsel, Joseph L.
Mum, will follow Mr.. Griffin.

LAUGHTER IDENTIFIES HIM.


Through funny stories the identity of
Salvinus Bailey was discovered by Ser
geant McNIan of the Greenville precinct
About 7:20 p. NJ. Roundsman George
Routh brought the little chap in and left
him in charge of Sergeant McMan, then
at the desk. The roundsman found him
wandering around on Garfield aveaue,
and it was afterwards found out that
the little fellow had walked abeut four
miles.
When questioned as to his name and
home the boy merely moved his lips as
though he would speak. but said moth
ing. The police began to think he was
a little crook When the sergeant told
him some funny stories it was found
that the child was tongue tied and could
speak only with the greatest difficulty.
He finally said that he lived at No. 42
West Tenth street. Bayonne. 1t was
learned that he was the adopted son Of
Mrs. Wynes of Bayonne, who was
promptly notified and called for him
later.

Catholic Federation Protests
Against Religious Dis
elimination in the
Philippines.
PROTESTANTSMeN0PLY
e5 Per Cent of Students Cath.
olics and e5 Per Cent of
the Teachers Non.
Catholic.

The New Jersey branch Of the Fedora
tion of Catholic Societies Of America
held meeting yesterday at Institute
Hal, Newark, at which there were six
hundred delegates present. The session
was lengthy one and surpassed IN
many ways any similar melting Of any
other branch, and this appears the mere
noteworthy in view Of the fact that il
was the first meeting Of the branch.
The principal business was the discus
sion of the question of the school sys-
TEN in the Philippines and protest was
put on record that took the form Of a
resolution of condemnation for the pow
there. It was shown that there are in
the school % per cent Catholics as stu
dents nda that 96 per cent. Of the teach
ers are Of other religious belief 1t was
also asserted that Catholic teachers are
Disseminated against.
The resolution appeals for fair play
to ALL It asks that Catholic teachers be
placed en- at least an equal footing with
others and that there be eliminated from
the system Of teaching any features cal
culated to influence the scholars against
the religion to which they were born. The
schools. it was shown, are under the
control of a Protestant minister, whose
actions were such as to place the govern
ment in the position of opposing Roman
Catholicism.
The resolution called upon President
Roosevelt to nike complete investiga-
ton with the view of remedying the
evils. Copies were also seat to Con-
gress and to the United State Federation
Of Catholic Societies.
John 2. Dullard of Trenton introduced
the resolution. DIR. Martin Sinnett. the
State president, was in the chair. Among
those who made addresses We're Bishop
MeFaul of Trenton. and Monsignor
Doane of Newark. Bishop 0'Conner. Of
the diocese of Newark, was unable to be
present. but sent a letter in which be
advised the federation to keep out Of
partisan politics.

events he holds that the court should
treat each of the defendants as being
elected to represent the Freeholder dis
hold his office. The court, he said, is
not called upon in this case to consider
the method of nomination and election,
nor the law under which the election was
held. so long as it appears that under
valid law they were eligible, were elected
and duly qualified, the votes received by
them outside of their Freeholder dis
tricts can be treated as surplusage.
Finally Mr.. Griffin contends that even
though the present Board has not good
title TO the Office if the act is uncon-
stitutional. nevertheless the court is not
bound to allow the writ to issue. The
granting or Withholding of leave to file
an information in the nature of quo
warranto at the instance of private
reIator. rests on the sound discretion of
the. court even where good objection
to the title of the person whose right IS
called a question is shown. He cites In
support of this contention the cases of
State. Mitchell, Relator VS.. Tolan 4 VI.
1916 and Van Ripper VS.. Parsons, II Vr.
123.
"The conduct Of the present Board,
SAYS Mr.. Griffin in conclusion. "and the
present system has met with the APPROX
al of the public of Hudson County. Only
one voice is raised against it, and that
more than year after the defendants
have been in office. What the motive of
the relator tRenner) is does not appear.
He voted at the election at which the
defendants were elected, and | assume
voted for the candidates for members of
the Board. but this he declined to affirm
or deny.e A Judgment of custer would
hardly be entered until after the terms
Of the defendants expired, and in the
meantime the people of Hudson County
will undoubtedly adopt the act of 1902
providing for a membership of in the
Board of Freeholders, thus doing away
with the uncertainty at present existing.
No public good can be subserved by al
lowing the information to be filed. On
the other hand. it would disorganize
County affairs and the government would
be thrown into chaos; the members of
the last Board might not desire to re-
sumo office and might not have the legal
right to do so, and the County would be
left without government All this
would come to pass in the face of the
large popular vote in favor of the sys-
TEN and of defendants.

A MERRY HIGHWAY MAN.
Schultz Robbed Sleeping "Jim"
and Told Police He Had
Been Wayiaid Him
self. .

Michael Schultz, thirty-two years old,
who lives in Golden street, told harrow
ing tale at the First precinct station
house last night about hold up which.
he said, took place in dark hallway at
Steuben and Henderson streets. He was
very sure about the details, he remarked,
because he was the victim of cowardly
attack from behind and lost exactly $12
when several highwaymen got through
with him.
Captain Schultz ordered an inyestiga-
tioa and discovered that Schultz had
been romancing. Instead of being robbed
that Schultz had been guilty of doing the
robbing himself, according to two men
questioned by the police.
Thomas Adest, seventeen years old, of
No. 225 Henderson street, came forward
with the story that he saw Schultz rifle
sleeping mans trousers pockets in
the aforesaid dark hall. According to
Adest the mans name was Jim and
Schultz got exactly fifteen cents on the
result of his hard luck.
Then Jim awolSe, Adest said, and
smote Schultz powerful blow on the
left cheek, knocking him down. Before
waiting TO turn his right cheek also,
Schultz picked himself up and ran away.
sJim," whose full name is James Me
Kenna, lives at No. 1876 Steuben street.
He is Il years old.
He confirmed Adest's statement that
he had been robbed while asleep and
proudly asserted that he gave Schultz a
good one when he awoke.
Schultz was arrested on charge of
larceny from the persons and was held
this morning by Police Justice Hoos in
the First Criminal Court for further ex-
animation

RIDE ON FENDER
Three Year Old Tot Tossed
Into Trolley Car Guard,
Feet Skyward.
CARRIED A BLOCK
Many Sunday Strollers Have
Troubles of Their Own
List of Accidents,

Sunday produced its usual fertile crop
of troubles to the unwary removed from
the sheltering influence of hard work.
Three year-old Yetta Levine, the only
daughter of Simon Levine, tailor, of
No. 35 Montgomery street. toddled on
the trolley car track in front of her
home, No. 81 Montgomery street, Satur-
day evening. and was struck by the
fender of Court House car No. 159.
The child was tossed in the air, turned
a half somesault, while an excited motor
man was turning off the power, and
landed on her head in the fender with
her heels pointing skyward.
The sidewalks on both sides of the
street were crowded with people who
were hurrying home after their weeks
work and cry of hcrror went up as
the car bore down on the little one.
Yetta gave piercing cry of terror as
she was tossed and many women who
have children of their own felt sicken-
ing sensation in their bosoms believing
that she had been killed.
The motorman did his level best to
stop the car as soon as possible, but the
wheels rolled quite distance despite his
best efforts before the car came to stand
still.
In the meanwhile somebody ran down
to the tailor shop and told Levine that
his baby girl had been run over. He
ran breathlessly to the scene, pushing
his way excitedly through the crowd,
and reached the car, he says. just in
time to see the motorman grab his child
by the feet and drag her from the FEN
der. Taking her in his arms he carried
her home and sent for a physician, who
discovered that Yetta was suerifng from
shock No bones were broken. The
child was still confined to her bed today.
Levine. who has had eleven children
and has had the misfortune of burying
all but little Yetta and four byos, said
this morning that he was deeply CRATE
full to the motorinan for not killing his
daughter, but couldn't understand why
the man didn't stop sooner.
