Supreme Court Refuses Re-
quest Of Indicted Troll
ley Magnates.
MAY HAYE CHANGE OF VENUE
Justice Garrison Says the
Court Was Without Power
to Grant the Motion.
MAY HAVE CHANGE OF VENUE

Especial to 'sThe jersey City News.")
TRENTON, June 8. 1908. will
be no trial at bar for the directors of
the North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany, indicted in Essex County as a re-
suit of the Clifton avenue trolley acci-
dent. Justice Garrison yesterday an
nounced the decision of the Supreme
Court denying the motion to have the
seven men tried before the bar of that
court with a jury selected from outside
Essex County.
1t is within the rights of the defend
ants to apply for a change of venue, and
it is understood that this will be done,
in which event the indictments may be
tried in some other county. and the JUS
tice presiding in the Circuit Court may,
if he sees fit, invite one or more justices
of the Supreme Court to sit with him in
the trial.
The motion for trial at bar before
a struck jury was made at the opening
of the June term of the Supreme Court
last Tuesday James B. Vredenburgh
and r. Y. Lindabury, representing the
defendants, argued that public sentiment
in Essex was such that it would be inn
possible to secure an impartial jury in
that county. County Prosecutor Chandler
w. Riker. of Essex. opposed the mo-
tion, and suggested that there was moth
ing to prevent the presiding justice in
Essex from inviting other justices to sit
with him on the trial.
Those indicted for failure to observe
proper precaution in the running of the
trolley cars and for not providing proper
safeguards at the Clifton avenue railroad
crossing, in whose behalf the motion was
made, are:-Edward F. C. Young. David
Young, DR.. Leslie D. Ward. Elisha B.
Gaddis, ]. Roosevelt Stanley, John D.
Crimmins and A. J. Cassatt, directors,
and Charles NJ Shipman. James Smith
Richard Eick and Arthur D. Pratt em-
ployes and officials of the trolley com
pany
In announcing the decision, Justice
Garrison said that the Court believed
itself without power, under existing stat
utes, to grant the motion.

Supreme Justices Differ on
Jersey City Board of
Works Case.
ARRIVED At NO DECISION
Mayor Fagan's Appointees
Will Have to Wait for
Another Conference.
tspecial to ..rhe Jersey clty Newg.,o


TRENTON, June 9, 1903-In an
nouncing in the supreme court yesterday
that che Jersey City street and water
board case would be decided later, Chief
Justice Gummere said that this case,
among others, had been considered in
conference, but owing to some conflict
ing views on different points the cases
had all been laid over for another con-
ference.
The constitutionality of the act under
which the present board of street and wa
Ter commissioners of jersey City holds
office is involved, and decision against
this act, would, of course, result in seat
ing Mayor Fagan's board, as well as
ousting the Newark board of works.
1t is said that the fact that the court
is not ready to announce decision in
this case is indicative that the court is
: by no means certain that the present
board has clear title to its office
On January /, 1902, Mayor Fagan, of
Jersey City announced the appointment
Of new street and water board. This
action was based on the opinion of Cor
poration counsel George L. Record. who
held that the law of 1894, under which
the present boards in Jersey City and
8 Newark were allotted is unconstitutional
because while il applies only to the cit
les of the first class. it makes no provis-
ion that its terms shall apply to second
class cities that may hereafter be ad-
vanced to cities of the first class,
This. Mr. Record says, brings the act
within the category of special legislation,
which is forbidden BY the constitution.
conceding the invalidity of the act of
1894, Mr.. Record advised the mayor that
it at once became his duty to appoint a
new street and water board under the
act of 1891

The cannibal tree of Australia is
said to be the most wonderful tree in
existence. A writer in the New York
World refers to this tree as "the,
most wonderful of Gods many
wonders in vegetable life. "Accord-
ing to this writer, the cannibal tree
grows up in the shape of huge pine
apple, and seldom attains height of
more than II feet. 1t has a series
of broad, beard-like leaves, growing
in fringe at the apex which reminds
one of a gigantic Central American
apex. When standing erect these
broad, thick leaves hide curious
looking arrangement which appears to
perform the same functions as those
of the pistils in flowers. Naturally,
these beard, like leaves,w are from
10 to IL feet long in the smaller
specimens, are from Is to 20 in the
larger, hang to the ground and are
strong enouth to bear a m ans weight.
In aboriginal times, in the antipodean
wilds, the natives worshipped the
cannibal tree under the name of the
"devil tree" the chief part of the
cermony consisting of driving one of
their numbers up the leaves of the
tree to the apex. The instant the
victim would touch the so-called
"pistils" of the monster the leaves
would instantly fly together like a
trap, squeezing the life ont of the intru-
der. Early travellers declared that the
tree held it's victim until every parti-
Gle of flesh disappeared On this ac-
count it is called the "cannibal tree"
