HER l,NRULY MEMBER.
Mrs. Charlotte Wood Whose
Tongue Terrifies Webster
Avenue Is Arranged as
a Common Scold.

Mrs. Charlotte Wood, Of No. 203 Web
ster avenue, was arraigned before Judge
Blair in the First Criminal Court this
morning to plead to an indictment of
being a common scold. OF course she
pleaded not guilty. The complainant is
Henry Austin. a neighbor. whose son is
said to have thrown mud at Mrs Wood
and at her home. 1t was he who was
scolded by Mrs. Wood
Mrs. Wood has been a resident of
Webster avenue for number of years
and has always had trouble with her
neighbors. On numerous occasions she,
has figured in the Second Criminal Court
at times as defendant and at others as
complainant. On one occasion dozen
or more neighbors gave testimony as to
her being common scold, but the cases
all ended in the police court.
Children are the cause of much of
Mrs. Woods troubles. With her adult
neighbors against her, their children con-
stantly annoy her by shouting names at
her or throwing stones or sticks at her
house. Being a woman Of temper, she
usually resents such annoyances by more
forcible means than berating them with
her tongue. She has thus incurred the
hatred of their parents. and repeated
efforts have been made to force her to
move out Of the neigllborhood. She is
in comfortable circumstances, financially,
and lives in one of the finest houses
on Webster avenue, and being woman
of independent spirit, she has shown
determination not TO be forced to move
away, preferring even the constant an
noyances to which she is subjected
The penalty for being common scold
is ducking in a pond, which is known
as a duczing STOOL This is prescribed in
the old Blue laws, which have never
been repealed. 1t is the only penalty
prescribed by the laws of New Jersey
for being common scold. The law is
almost obsolete and the penalty pre-
seribed has not been enforced in many,
many years. There is not ducking
stool in the State, the last one having
fallen into disuse many years ago.
The trial Of Mrs. Wood will no doubt
attract considerable attention and the
outcome will be watched with interest
But few, if any, persons believe the
law will be enforced even if Mrs.
Wood is found guilty.

A stout, well-dressed man was seen to
run for the ferry-boat Washington of
the Courtlandt street line just as she was
about to leave her slip for her 1920
o'clock trip for this side of the river this
morning. He hurried into the mems cab
in and few moments after clasped his
hands to the region Of his heart and fell

ceeded on her journey. Arriving on this

The dead man was about fifty-five
years old with bald head and smooth face

Committee to Inquire Into the
North Sea Incident Effects
Organization.


LONDON, Dee. %, 1904-The Daily
Telegraph's $ Chefoo correspondent says
that the steamer Lady Mitchell which
sailed from Tsingtao with supplies. am
munition and dynamite. reached Port
Arthur during a snowstorm four nights
ago He says also that it is reported
that the Japanese were compelled to
evacuate their position on Else Mountain,
owing to fanking fire from other forts
and the explosion of Russian mines, from
which they lost heavily.
The japanese, the correspondent adds,
are employing thousands of coolies In
making strong forts at Dalny and around
Port Arthur. They express a determine
ton to capture Port Arthur before the
Chinese new year.
An attack is now preparing that will
be on a hitherto unequaled scale, and
it will mean either success or terrible disA
aster to the besiegers. The correspond
ent concludes that it is stated that Cen
eral Nogi has asked for 10000 reinforce
ments from Japan.
Describing the conditions existing at
Mukden and Port Arthur a second des-
patch says
Zone of the most inexpIicable things
to the Russian soldier is the habit of the
japanese to commit suicide when con-
fronted with defeat. There are so many
eyewitness reports of this nature that
it is impossible to discredit them all.
japanese officers especially seem to make
a practice of saving their last cartridge
for themselves.
"A Russian under the circumstances
would either go down fighting leaving
his enemies to do the killing, or else sur
render if he thought there was nothing
to be gained by holding out"
IL lHe capture OF ouilloH tlOne 1TeeJ
Hill especially there were a number of
such cases. When the Japanese bat
teries We're captured one officer shot him
self across his gun. Another drew his
sword and fenced at the empty air until
he was shot. During the same fight two
villages occupied by the japanese were
surrounded and burned. Numbers of
the japanese remained quietly in the
huts and were burned to death. A Rus
sian officer hauled two japanese officers
out of blazing hut, but one slipped
back and perished in the flames. Jap
anese officers were found in the huts
after the fight burned to death or suf-
focated by smoke, sitting in chairs as
though they had been quietly awaiting
their doom.

The recent cold weather was to the
poultry dealers ideal turkey weather.
A low temperature and ground blank

tions he fattens and blossoms forth a
healthy, vigorous bird. The local deal

Throughout New Jersey and Eastern
Pennsylvania the farmers have taken
great pride in raising big stock and
the supply promises to be as abundant
as in the days when turkey raising.

REALTY GOES Up
New Municipal Bui' dings
Cause a Boom in Hud-
son City Property.

The proposed building of new Court
House on the site of the present old
county temple of justice at cost of over
81 100000. the building of a new $780,
600 High School Building in the vicinity
and opening up and extension of Baldwin
avenue have brought about tremendous
boom in the real estate matters in the
lower Hudson City section.
Twenty lots on the Baldwin avenue
extension We're sold last week. One of
these was on a corner of Baldwin avenue
and Washburn street, three adjoining
on Baldwin avenue and on Washburn1
street. These lots were sold to Johanna
Lerche, of Seventh street Twenty-Five
other lots in the vicinity have been sold
within the past three weeks, number of
them facing on Court House place and
several on Oakland avenue. Baldwin
avenue has been building up fast since
the avenue was opened up between New
ark avenue to connect with Webster ave
nue..
Most of the lots recently sold are part
of the estate of the late Judge Marcus
Beach, which for many years has been
lying idle awaiting time to sell when the
lots would be considered of just pecun-
iary value. The tearing down of the old
Oakland Rink some years ago was the
first step in the line of improvement Of
the property that is to follow Sin the
wake"
It is said that many of the purchasers
of the lots are Germans who intend to
further enlarge the area of Germany col
ony of the city, which is mainly located
in the Hudson City section Of the city.

Special to ''The Jersey City News.'D

pleted its labors yesterday and the court
will not meet to pass on the applications
until next Tuesday.
The total number Of applications be-
fore the court at this term is 141, much
larger number than usual. The last
batch of the applications was taken up
by the committee at the State Prison yes
terday. Each applicant was brought be
fore the committee to state his case.
Then the committee investigated, consid-
ering the length of term already served,
circumstances, if any, and other matters.
A detailed report on each application will
be presented by the committee TO the full
court at the meeting next Tuesday.
There are several Mercer County ap-
plicants in the number. Several of the
applicants have developed consumption

and in cases where the prison physicians
say the prisoners cannot recover they are
likely TO be pardoned, if they have
home to go to.
Only one of the applicants is a woman

railroads would lend all their powerful
influence to those citizens who think
constitutional convention should be held
at once to revise and enlarge the judic-
iary of the State in securing from the in
coming Legislature the necessary legisla-
ton for such convention.
Others who thought that there would
be delay in the submission of the equal
taxation report drew attention to the inn
preston made upon many that the COM
mission was not altogether unanimous in
their conclusions on this difficult subject.
They said that it was by no means cer-
tain that all the commissioners would
agree to the views which would be sub
mitted by former Governor Werts, and
that time would be taken up in discuss
ing the report and in endeayors to re-
concile the conflicting opinions. 1t was
further said that there would be at least
one minority report, if not more.
In reply to these it was said that there
was reason to believe that the commits
sion practically agreed upon what the re-
port should recommend at its executive
meeting yesterday, and that all former
Governor Werts was delegated to do
was to put those views and conclusions
in the proper shape for submission to the
Governor.
