An Important Decision.

Judge Simon has rendered an
important decision the past week
in the case of Paul Melsncon vs
The Phenix Insurance Company,
in giving decision in favor of
,Melancon.
The insurance companies have
certain clauses in their policies
that are ridiculous, if not calcutta
ted to confuse the insured, and
on the least pretext, refuse to pay
the policies, and force the unfor-
tunate sufferers to have recourse to
law with all its delays.
The gin of Melancon was burn
ed more than a year ago, on the
very morning Of the fire he noti-
fed the company by wire of the
destruction of his mill, after q de-
lay of few days, hearing nothing
from the company, he had his
lawyers to communicate With the
fire company and they have been
unable to make the settlement, and
he was compelled to file suit for
the recovery of the amount of his
insurance policy.
The insurance companies have
carried things as far as they
should be allowed to 90, and the
time has come for some of our le-
gislstors to frame law, to place
the insurance companies under the
control of the Railroad Commits
sion.
There is an antitrust law in this
state, particularly aimed at the in
surance combined, bat this law is
not operating as it should, and if
the Attorney General would take
the trouble to look into the matter
he would find that all the insurance
companies Of this state are opera
ting under the same rules aud the
same rates. This is the best proof
that the law is not having the eff.
feet it was intended for.
The law should require that in
surance policies be paid thirty days
after the burning of the in.
sured property, and when there is
litigation, over the payment of a
policy, it is with the hope of de-
priving the insured of the money
for which he has been paying a
premium for perhaps many years,
faalt is found by the compa-
MES only when they are called up
on to pay legitimate losses.
Generally when man has the
misfortune to lose his property by
fire he is in great need of his in
surance money and the law should
provide that payment be made in
Q very short time, and in case of
litigation, the law should require
that the rule work both wsye, if
the insured loses be gets nothing,
but if he wins the insurance
company should be made to pay a
penalty doubling the amount of
the policy for Withholding the
amount that they have agreed to
! pay the insured in case of the de-
struction of his property by fire,
and for which he has paid a pre-
MUM.
Have laws that will compel in.
surance companies to insure
upon fair and legitimate rates and
COMPEL them to pay losses
promptly. People pay premium to
protect themselves against losses
and not to have the privilege of
having litigation with rich CO.
operations. especially whe n they
are destitute and In very needy cir

PRIEST BACK
AFTER WORK.
New Brunswick Man Who Col.
leCted Money Here Faces
His Former Congregation.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 80
The Rev. Francis Vodola, who was
the pastor of the Italian Catholic
church in this city until Bishop Nc
Faul removed him last month, has
returned, not as a priest, but as a
private citizen seeking work. He
says he came back to the city to
clear himself of the charges that had
been made against him when he sud
denly disappeared early in August.
While away he has been a section
boss of a construction gang. He still
has his brass pay check, showing
that he was known on the %payrolls as
No. 7OS. He says that he kept at
that work until he was compelled to
give it up by injuries he received.
Then he decided to come back to this
city and face the people to whom he
owes money.
He says he did not rnu away from
the city, and shows a letter to prove
that he was deprived of his charge,
and that his priesthood rights were
taken away from him by the bishop.
The priest visited Perth Amboy
last summer, before he was removed,
and collected money from a number
of Italian people which was suppos-
ed to be for the Italian church in
New Brunswick.

SHORT SOCIAL
A MERRY ONE.
Presbyterian Young People Had
Enjoyable Time in Their
Chapel Last NIGHT.

The "short social" held by the
Christian Endeavor Society of the
Presbyterian church, last night, was
a pronounced financial as we'll as a
social success.
Many persons not connected with
the society were present and the eve
ming was a thoroughly enjoyable
one. The program was well carried
out and consisted of addresses upon
short" articles by Wilbur La Roe,
Adrian Lyon, Robert Comings and
Miss Hanson, selections upon bells
by Mr.. Mccullough, piano duets by
Miss Hawk and Miss Greives, and
cornet solos by Prof. Nelson accom-
panied by Miss Hawk.
Refreshments were served and a
social time held after the program
was carried out. A number of cakes
were auctioned, the proceeds of
which together with the silver col
lection netted a snug sum.
The committee in charge of the
social consisted of Lesion NJ. Ayers,
Miss Maggie McClymont, Wellington
La Rue, Ernest Hancock and Mrs.
Philip Gabriel.

HURLED AT
LEADER CARL LENTz.
Republican Candidates in Essex
County May Conduct Their
Own Campaign.

NEWARK. Sept. 30:-L.eaders Of
the Colby faction of the Essex county
republicans, at a four hours confer
ence, at Newark decided last night to
reject the proposition Of Major Carl
Lentz and the regular executive com
mittee contained in resolutions adopt
ed Thursday. as to the manner in
which the party campaign shall be
managed.
In the conference were all the can
didates on the county ticket and the
following advisor members: William
Riker, John S. Gibson, Lathrop
Anderson, Henry A. Potter, Gardner.
Colby. Henry Hahn, Frank Smith and
Adam Krashaar. William 2. Martin
presided. "a
The conference was not entirely
harmonious, conflicting opinions being
developed in the cause of a hot dis
cussion of the ''Stand pat'' declara-
tion of Major Lentz. Some of the
Colbyites were frank enough to say
they believed that the action of the
Lentz committee should be accepted
as the best that could be obtained,
and that further dissenting action
would ~ieopardise the success of the
candidates.
Others came out Aatfooted for an
open rupture with the party machine,
advising the appointment of an indie
pendent committee, leaving the ''or-
g|anization' to take whatever action
it pleased The more conservative
members advised a middle course,
which was finally greed upon.
