BERGEN TURNPIKE.
Court of Chanoery viii Decide
the Crossing Question
With the Erie r. r. Co.

Counsellor w. D. Edwards, represent
ing the Bergen and Turnpike Railroad
Company, and Counsellor Charles L.
Corbin, representing the Erie Railroad
Company, today obtained an order from
Vice Chancellor Pitney for the determi-
nation how the trolley company shall
cross the tracks of the Erie Railroad at
Fairiew Ridgefeld Park, Little Ferry,
Hackensack and Fairmount
The Turnpike Company, the president
of which is Mr. David Young, had
hoped that the question between it and
the Erie Company would have been
settled 50 that the new road running
from Hoboken to Hackensack would be
carrying passengers before February 2.
but the Erie Railroad contends that the
crossings as prepared by the trolley COM
pany are dangerous TO passengers not
only OH the railroad but to the trolley
company's patrons, and they ask the
Court of Chancery to determine how the
crossings shall be made, overhead or at
grade. On the principle that the most
dangerous crossing is the safest, the troll
ley company say that with the proper
safeguards there need be no fear of
danger to anyone.
The question will come up before Vice
Chancellor Pitney within a few days.

PASTOR RABIES TROUBLE
Order Issued to Show Why He
Shouldn't be Punished
for Contempt.


Rev. Ludwig Rabe, pastor of the First
German Baptist Church of Union Hill,
is to be brought up with round turn
and sent to the Hudson County Jail for
contempt of court. An order to show
cause to that disagreeable end was signed
this afternoon by Vice-C Chancellor Ste
yenson, on the complaint of Mrs. Rabe,
who resides in Garden street. Newark.
Some weeks ago the pastors wife OBJ
tanned an order compelling him to pay
her and her child support. Rev. Ludwig
has neither done this nor paid the counsel
fees, amounting to over $780,
Lawyer Lichtenstein, Of oHboken. told
these facts to the Court in asking for the
order. yice-Chancellor Stevenson said
that the Court would tolerate. no trifing
with the order, and the minister must ex-
plain or go TO Jail. The matter will come
UP next Monday.
1t was Rev. Ludwig Rabe who was so
severely rebuked for making false state
ments during the hearing of his wife's
suit. Both the oCurt nd the lawyer
sailed into him. Notwithstanding the
scorehing arrafgnment his congregation
expressed confidence in him and begged
him not to retire from his charge.

NEW PASSAIC BRIDGE
Fresholders Will Consider the
Project at the Next
Meeting.

Al project to build new bridge over
the Passaic at Bridge street, and to re-
move the present structure at that point
to span the same river from Halstead
street, Kearny, to Chester avenue, New
ark, will be launched at the next meet
ing of the Board of Freeholders. The
matter was informally discussed at a
conference of several members of the
Freholders' North Bridge Committee on
Saturday
Freeholder Roche Of Kearny, who is
the leading exponent Of the idea, pointed
out that about three miles OF West Hud-
son, from Clay street to the Belleville
bridge, was without connection with
Newark. He said that a bridge between
these points had long been advocated by
residents of Kearny, and now that it was
conceded that the Bride street would
soon have to be replaced by a heavier
structure, that it would he advisable from
an economical standpoint of view to sat
isfy the needs of all sections by providing
two bridges. IL
Mr. Roche said that the traffic at the
point in Kearny to which it was pro-
posed to remove the present. Bridge
street. bridge was comparatively light
and that there was no probability of a
trolley line crossing it there. Under such
conditions he thought the old bridge
would last for many years.
The. need to replace the present Bridge
street bridge with a heavier structure
able to stand the present rTfic at that
point Is obvious. The cost of repairing
this bridge is no insignificant item in
the annual budget of both Hudson and
Essex counties.
If Hudson agrees to stand half the
cost of the proposed Improvement, the
Legislature will be appealed to for au-
thority to issue the necessary bonds.

DENIES IT
Inspector Of Weights and
Measures Answers But
cher Fischer''s Charge.

Inspector of Weights and Measures
Adolph L. Roede emphatically denied to-
day the charge made by Benjamin
Fischer, butcher of No. 200 Morgan
street, to the effect that Roede black
mailed him out of $40. Fischer told
Mayor Pagan that the inspector seized
his scales claiming that they were ssshort
weight, and promised to return them af-
ter getting the money Fischer claimed
that he turned over the cash becanse he
'swas too busy to- be arrested but said
he didn't get his scales back.
Roede said this morning :-.'I never de-
manded or received one cent from Fisch-
er. The truth Of the matterois / caught
him on four different occasions when his
scales were .short weight. Each time
he promised to have them corrected.
When he failed to. keep his word / took
his scales away and have them yet.
& Fischer's charges will be presented to
the Board of Aldermen by Mayor Pagan
tomorrow night.
Former City Collector Robert Davis
said this morning:..If Roede is proven
to be guilty he will surely lose his po-
sition. If he is innocent he has his re-
dress and the people who preferred the
charges viii have to suffer. Roede de-
clares that he is innocent
Mayor Pagan said this morning that
he didn't know anything about the
charges other than what happened in
Fischers affidavit.

FREE COAL
FOR The POOR
Davis Association Will Dis
tribute About 200 Tons
Before It's Relief
Work Is Finished
CITY SECURES BIG SUPPLY
The Board of Aldermen's Ap-
preparation of $4,000 is
Being Spent by Direc-
ton of Mayor
Pagan.
CITY SECURES BIG SUPPLY

The Robert Davis Association is glad
dening the hearts of many poor people in
this city by gifts of free coal, which is
being delivered in 100 pound bags at the
homes of deserving families.
Over half hundred bags were sent
out this morning.
Mr.. Davis and other members of the
work of distribution. expect to be able to
give away between 159 and 200 tons as
a result of the big sacred concert, which
took place at the Bijou Theatre a few
Sundays ago. They have made the pro-
ceeds of the concert go long way, hav-
ing bought the coal far below the pre-
yailing market price.
CITY'S DISTRIBUTION.
The city today commenced the work
of giving away coal in half ton loads.
The Board of Aldermen may take
some action on the free coal plans to-
morrow night. The Board asked the FL
nance Commissioners several months ago
to make an appropriation of $1,000 with
which 70 buy coal for the relief of the
poor of the city. The Commissioners
held up the report until last week when
Commissioner Brock, who is president of
the Board of Aldermen, succeeded in in
ducing his colleagues to let the Aldermen
have $1,000 for the purchase of coal.
Mayor Pagan lost no time in negotiat-
ing with different railroad companies for
supplies of coal and made arrangements
for its distribution through the office of
Peormaster Edward Hewitt.
ALDERMEN DELIGHTED.
The Aldermen are delighted over the
Mayors activity, but they feel that he
isn't entitled to all the credit for the
free coal at this stage of the proceedings.
The Mayor is still anxious to hear
from people who will provide trucks and
other vehicles to convey the coal from
the railroad yards to the homes of people
for whom it is intended.
The city win get $50 tons at the rate
Of So a ton. The balance of the appro-
priation of $1,000, or $3.50, will be spent
for carriage.

WHY A ZAP TIST
The Rev. Addison Moore's
Remarkable Sermon on
Superiority Of His
Church.

"Why / am Baptist" was the sub
ject of the sermon preached last night in
the Bergen Baptist Church by the Rev.
Addison Moore, but iffwas not SO much
an explanation of his religious beliefs as
it was an attack son every other creed,
Catholicism and Episcopalanism being
particularly censured and ridiculed.
The cermon caused a sensation, and
there is already talk Of bringing charges
against the Rev. Mr.. Moore through the
Christian Endeavor Society, of which he
is the president in his church, for break
ing one of the most stringent rules of
the society, which is non-denominational
The rule is that no member shall ever at
tack an Evangelical church or denounce
any faith under pain of expulsion.
Al arge part of the discourse was yul-
gar and blasphemous. Among the por-
.tions fit for publication were these
'1he Scriptures insist upon the individ-
ual priesthood of all believers in Christ
There must be no Intermediary between
child and father. Consequently in look
ing for church to join must rule out
of my reckoning all organizations that
uphold priestcraft.
No man or set of men can order my
worship or dictate my beliefs without
dwarfing my spiritual life. The aspira-
tions of the heart. the upward glance of
the soul, the needs Of life, are all legiti-
mate causes of religion. No book of
human origin containing ever so ancient
or beautiful ritual and prayers can safe
ly be allowed to take the place of free
and spontaneous intercourse between my
soul and the great Over Soul--between
human need and Gods supply. There
fore | must rule out all organizations
which rely upon ritual for worship, and
ecclesiasticalism or church craft for the
exercise of those offices of meditation be-
tween the human and the devine, which
Christ alone interprets for each be-
lever in Him.
''The Baptist churches are the only
ones left to me. AS Baptists we are all
priests under God, and we own no au-
thority except that of Christ. We are
the broadcast and the most liberal minded
of all peoples. We allow to all what we
claim for ourselves .
