WONT ENJOIN IT
Vice Chancellor Pitney De-
tends Location Of Hos
pital in Bergen
County.


Vice Chancellor Pitney this morning
placed himselw on record os opposed TO
the granting of injunctions in cases
wherein residents try to prevent the erec-
ton of hospitals and other similar insti
tutions simply because they injure the
value of surrounding property.
Lawyer Flagg Of Hackensack, applied
to the. Vice Chancellor for an injunction
to restrain the authorities of Ridge6eld
Englewood, and Palisade townships, in
Bergen County, from erecting pest
House. The combined townships own a
their almshouse is located. They now
propose to build pest house for small
pox and other patients. Residents and
owners of the surrounding property pro-
tested and counsel was retained to secure
an injunction to stop the work.
NO GROUNDS FOR INJUNCTIONS.
In denying the injunction Vice Cham
celler Pitney said
''The building of hospital is no
ground for an injunction unless it endan-
gers the health of the community. *The
mere fact that it Injuries the value of
property is not sufficient cause for this
court to take action. II Il man should
build tenement house in fashionable
district in New York and fill it with col
ored people there would be no cause to
restrain him so long as the health of the
other residents was not in danger. The
mere fact that the property has been in
jured as a residential place offers no
grounds fer a case. Unless your evidence
shows that the hospital actually affects
the atmosphere or renders by noise life
uncomfortable, this Court can take no
action Why, it would be absurd to de-
eide otherwise. If residents could pre-
vent such institutions from being built
the result would be that these poor crea-
lures would absolutely die of neglect. /

Holy Name Society Attends
Vesper Service--Its Re-
markable Growth.

st. Bridget's r. C. Church, Montgonl-
cry and Brunswick streets, last evening
was crowded when the members Of the
Holy Name Society with membership
of over FIVE hundred members he'd yes
per service and listened to a very inter-
esting sermon, by well known orator,
Rev. William 0'Bren Pardow, S. j. who
spol& upon the benefits of the Holy
Name Society, and the grand good it has
been doing especially in st. Bridget's
church.
The speaker also paid a high tribute to
the Catholic Church and its teachings
The, vesper service was conducted by
Rey. William A. Keyes.
Georgian Vespers was chanted by the
boys chancel choir, and the regular choir
under the direction Of Mrs. William A.
Mcdonald. The singing was excellent.
Rev. John Ryan. rector of St. Brid-
gets Church, had charge of the enroll
ment of new members, and he was ably
assisted by the Rev. John J. Murphy,
who is spiritual director of the Holy
Nuue DOClSlS. EAdctly one luuuTtu new
members was received, which makes the
society one Of the strongest Catholic or
ganizations in the city.
The members of the society met in st.
Bridget's Hall, No. 1877 Mercer street, be-
fore the service and marched in a body
preceded by the officers of the church.
They occupied the centre of the church,
and before they arrived every other seat
in the church was occupied.
1t is estimated that over fifteen hum
dred attended the vesper service, which
was the s;randest that has ever taken
place in st. Bridget's.
The grand success that the society
has met with Of late is mainly due to the
efforts of Rev. John J. Murphy, the
spiritual director, who is an unceasing
worker. The officers of the society are:
john F. Lynch, president; Alfred
Tracy, vice president; Alexander Hamill,
recording secretary, and Patrick Tynon,

DUAL CALAMITY
Actress Falls Into a Cellar
and Man Drops Dead in
Depot.

Miss Amy Buettner of Rome, n. T.,
better known under her nomi-de-theatre
Of Amy Chester, met with severe acci-
dent Friday evening. She was waiting
on the Carlstadt station, Carlstadt, N. J.,
for a late train to the city, and becoming
thirsty started to enter the ladies room
to procure glass Of water. Mistaking
the door She opened the one leading to
the cellar, and before noticing her mis-
take slipped and fell to the cement hoor
below. Her screams were heard by peop-
Pile near by, who, rushing to her assist
ance, found her laying upon the hard
floor and nearly submerged ID the foot Of
water which was ever present during the
winter Mrs. Buettner was carried to the
ladies' waiting room above and DIR. En-
nest Sickenberger, who had been called,
undertook to resuscitate her. This had
not been accomplished when Waldo B.
johnson of No Paterson avenue, East
Rutherford, rushed into the room, and,
, throwing himself upon a bench, asked
that a doctor be sent for at once as he
was dying. His wife, who was visiting
directly opposite the station, was sum
moned, and arrived just in time to receive
the body of her husband as he fell dead
into her arms. Heart failure was attri-
buted as the cause of Johnsoli's death.
Johnson's dead body and Miss Btiett-
ners senseless form, surrounded by fren-
zied relatives and friends made a scene
never to he forgotten by those who we're
present.
Miss Buettnes was hastily removed to
a near by house, that upon recovering
consciousness she would not witness the
gruesome sight the room presented. With
in an hour Miss Buettner was restored
to her senses, and it was found that she
had suffered a dislocated shoulder and
severe bruises. DIR. Sickenberger at
tended to the injuries and accompanied
the actress to the city, where she was
obliged to be Saturday morning.

FATHER BURKE'S ANSWERS
Some Vital Points in Why Am
a Catholic, Explained

The last Of the series of lectures at
st. Joseph's Church called out throng
that filled the church last night The
Catholic" While this was the last of
the regular lectures the same Line of
work will be continued in the inquiry
class which meets every evening begin
ming tonight in the chapel in the base
ment OF Nhe church. To this all non
Catholics are invited. The question box
will still be in use and queries will be
taken up each evening.
Father John Burke replied to the
questions, one of which was:-"Wby do
Catholics adore the Blessed Virgin and
give prayers and honor to her which be-
long to the Father and to the Son
aloae?''
Father Burke said that Catholics do
not adore the Blessed Nirgia ner any of
the saints Alteration 'be.ongs to God
alone and is never offered to any crea-
ture The first error in the question, he
said. was in ascribing to Catholics soRae-
thing they neither profess nor practice.
Catholics" said he, pray frequently
to the Blessed Virgin, asking her to in
tercede for them; but they pray more
frequently to Jesus Christ. In the mind
of the Catholic there is always distinc-
ton between Christ and His mother that
is infinite, because the distance between
God and even the highest of His crea-
lures is without limit
why do not Catholics protest against
the use of inaccurate books used in the
Public Schools particularly those ON the
history of education?H was another ques-
ton as to which Father Burke replied as
follows:
1T is the duty of Catholics and par
ents III particular to oversee the course
ef studies given to their children III the
public schools. If there be anything fa.se
and against Catholic truth, they should
protest most emphatically and do all in
their power TO correct it. For by any
such false teaching the rights of them
selves and their children beth as Catho-
lios ard - Amevicans are outrag gaousiy
violated That there have been such
cssas IT narrow minded teaching is un-.

RIFT WITHIN The Lutte.
Bergen Republican Club Like
" to Have Lively Time
Over New Home.

i - r Fi
.Tonight's meeting of the Bergen Re
publican Club to discuss the subject Of
a new club house promises to be livey
session. Many of the members are
strenuously opposed to the new project
for various reasons, large number are
committal.
The plan as outlined by the committee
appointed to devise ways and means for
the proposed new building is the forma
tion of a stock company which will erect
and equip the club house and then sell
it to the club on the installment plan.
This is the report they will submit at to-
nights meeting
Opposition to thissplan is strong and
the objecting members. declare that
should it be carried out the 10000 club
house will cost the club almost twice
that amount and it will be about twenty
years before the payments can be con-
pleted. The opposition faction want the
club to build its own home and save the
profits that the stock company would
reap.
The recommendation of the committee
will be for a building modern throughout,
and containing arrangements for the ac-
Icommodation of four well equipped stand
ard size bowling alleys, a billiard room
large enough for four billiard or pool
tables, two or three committee rooms,
all assembly Lall about 90 feet long, a
reading room, four card rooms and jani-
ttrs quarters.
.'Wherc does the club figure in this lit
tie game said a prominent member in
discussing the report to be made to-
night. There is no reason why the
club shouldn't do its own building and
make its profits instead of the stock COM
! pany, which is to be formed according
to tonight's report. but which has iii re-
ality already been formed, and by men
everyone of whom is q Bergen Republi-
can Club member. There is little CO.
terie Of men in the club who have been
workirg it for good thing this long time
but the latest is the best game yet. If
the deal goes through tonight, there wil
be another Republican club besides the
Bergen in the Ninth ward in a short
time time"

JUDGES CONFER.
Legislation Necessary to
Remedy Landlord and
Tenant Act.

=
The decision of Supreme Court Justice
Gilbert Collins in recent case practi-
cally declaring unconstitutional the land
lord and tenant provision of the District
Court act has spread CONSERVATION
among landlords and lawyers having dis
possess cases pending.
A conference participated in by Dis
trict Court Judges otto Grouse and
Charles N. Parker with Assemblyman
Carl A. Schumann and other lawyers of
the Hudson legislative delegation is being
held this afternoon at the Second Dis
triet Court in Jersey City to consider
what legislation is necessary to remedy
the act in question and give to the Bis
trict Courts the right to act in such
cases.
Practically all the dispossess cases
now pending received their death blow

the general anxiety is to have the new
enactment passed as soon as possible.
