and which has been the subject of al
most endless newspaper discussion.

ground on which the fight has been
based all along.
On account Of the crowded condi-
ton of the docket the matter was
postponed until the November term
OF the supreme court.
Counsel who brought the motion

A woman always retains a large
corner in her heart for her first love.
About the only reason woman has
for marrying a man is-because.
True politness requires more at
tention to the feelings of others than
to mere forms.
There is hardly anything easier
than not to get along with your wife
if you think you are master of your
own home.
When the cock will always let a
man have hot water to shave he can't

satisfied.

The following abstract will

lods. The following abstract Will
give some idea, however, Of the prlr,-
ciples laid down, not only for the ed
ucation of Our youth, but as applicable
to all the great questions in which
our people are interested:
Mr. Smith spoke Of the import
ance and significance of such an oc-
casion in any community, an occa-
sion of triumph to painstaking teacher
and faithful student; an occasion
fraught with responsibility for every
child, who shall soon learn that life
is a preparation-tha life is a mere
span between two eternities-who
shall learn that he is laborer,
helper, and said that he had come to
offer encouragement and that if he
might make one suggestion that shall
prove of benefit to the educational
success of our school, the education
al success of the children in it, he
will always be profoundly grateful
for the opportunity of speaking that
word of encouragement and help.
The law of progress is written in
all nature. The stately oak, today
standing in it's strength, defying the
storms that sweep over it, was once a
fragile sprig. Each succeeding Sea-
son has contributed to its develop
Iment and it has grown stronger year
by year. Stand by the cradle and
look upon the helplessness Of the in
fant lying there. AS the years come
and go childish things must more and
more pass away, the hand that once
was so feeble becomes mighty and
capable of welding the sceptre OF
empire; the tongue that then could be
heard only in childish prattle becomes
capable of swaying the multitude by
its eloquence When this principle
of continuous progress is applied to
the moral and intellectual nature,
there we have the definition of edu-
cation in lis highest sense.
The speaker then announced his
theme, some of the fatal tendencies of
the times in education and some OF
the problems to be solved. with the
means of their solution. He said that
some things need no proof, they are
automatic, as the truth that straight
line is the shortest distance between

"HAENSEL UND GRETEL" TO-DAY.
The Composer Pleased With the Dress Re-
hearsal Which was Held Yesterday.

The dress rehearsal of "Hanssl und
Grete" was held at the Metropolitan Opera
House yesterday. The composer, Engel-
bert Humperdinck was present, and as he
is rather deaf sat in the first row to hear
the singers. He expressed himself as highly
pleased with the rehearsal, and it is thought
that there will be no bitches in the first per-
formance this afternoon. Mr.. Conried
introduced Mr.. Humperdinck to most Of
the small invited audience which was per-
mitted to hear the work.
Mr.. Conried is not embarrassed by the
inability Of Nine. Morena to come to this
country. He has ample resources in his
company to fill the roles which she would
have taken. In "Lohengrin" the part of
Elsa, which has hitherto been sung by
such prima donne as Mines. Ternina Eames
and Ackte, will be given to Mrs. Rappold
or Mrs. Jomelli. Mrs. Rappold will also
sing Sentd in the revival of Der Fliegende
Hollander," formerly intrusted to Mines
Ternina and Gadski. Nine. Jomelli will
sing Elisabeth in "Tannhauser Miss
Walker and Nine. Nordica will be able to
sing the Brunnhildes in the Nibelungen
performances.
Then there is the opera school to draw
on in case of an emergency. So the season
will not be upset by Mime. .Morena 5 illness As
a substitute for Nine. Nordica as Isolde Miss
Fremstad has notified Mr.. Conried of her
willingness to sing the role. She has been
studying it for some time. Mrs. Rappold
will alternate with Bella Alien in the part
of Era in Die Meistersinger."

MRS. WILLIAMss LATE DIVORCE.
Wine Agent Married Her Before She Got II,
but Must support Her.

Thomas Avery Williams, who lives at the
Hotel York and is an agent for the Paul
Ruinart Wine Company of 1875 West Broad
way, was a defendant in the West Side
court Yesterday on complaint of his wife,
Lauree Williams, who obtained a summons
for him from Magistrate Barlow on the
ground of non-support. She said that
she was married to Williams at the Little
Church Around the Corner on September
8, 1908, and that he had not supported her
for several weeks.
Williams alleged that the woman already
had husband when he married her, and
that therefore she was not his legal wife
and he was not responsible for her sup
port.
Mrs. Williams's attorney told the Court
that his client married man named Mayo
in Jersey when she was only l3 years old.
Her husband soon after deserted her, and
for thirteen years she did not see him and
supposed him dead. Then she married
Williams and since doing so had secured
a divorce in Jersey from Mayo.
Did you continue to live with this woman
after she got the divorce and after you
knew these faots?" the Court asked Will
Jams.
He said he had done so.
Then | shall hold you for her support, /"
decided the Court
Williams said he earned 500 a week and
he was put under bond to pay his wife
500 week for one year.

PRISONERS ACCJsE CAHILL.
Say the EX-Assemblyman Got Them to
Register Falsely-Seven Indicted.

Register Falsely-Seyen Indicted.
Indictments charging seven persons with
violation of the election laws were handed
up TO Judge AspinalI in the County Court
Brooklyn, yesterday and the men, who
had been arrested, were on hand to plead
to the indictments. Two Of the men in
dicted admitted that they had violated the
law by registering falsely and declared that
ex -Assemblyman Joseph j. Cahll was re-
sponsible, as he had asked them to register
from his saloon, at 4l3 Henry street: Cahill
is also under indictment and is out on SIS 600
bail.
John White of 2O44 Pitkin avenue was the
first to answer to the indictment. He
pleaded guilty.
"How did you come to register falsely?"
asked Judge Aspinall
~Assemblyman Cahill of 4l3 Henry street
called me from the corner and asked me to
register said White, He said no harm
would come of it and if anything did hap
pen he would get me out"
Instead of getting you out, said Judge
Aspinall "he seems to have got you in"
Bernard McKenna Of SO Pacific street
was next called and pleaded guilty. He
also said that he had falsely registered
at the instigation of former Assemblyman
Cahill.
John Lawlor and George Kingsbory both
pleaded not guilty to false registering,
Joseph Watemeyer of 9s Maujer street
pleaded guilty and said the only reason
he registered was because Walter Wandless
of 9s Maujer street asked him to. Eddie
Milan. who was arrested on election day
for assaulting citizen and who was subse-
quently arrested for bribery, was also
arraigned and pleaded not guilty to an in
diotment charging him with bribing a
voter.
Deputy Attorney General Jones, who is
assisting Deputy Attorney General Mason
in the election fraud cases, asked Judge
Aspinall to make the bail in the cases as high
as possible and it was placed at 5000 in
each. Milan. who is already out under
bonds Of $4,000 was permitted to renew the

EOUITABL FIGHTS ACCOUNTING
All Day Argument on Demurrers to Suits
Brought by the eAttOrney-General.

Brought by the eAttOrney-General.
Supreme Court Justice Bischoff reserved
decision yesterday after an all day argu-
ment over the demurrers interposed by
the various defendants in the suits brought
by Attorney General Mayer against the
Equitable Life Assurance Society and its
directors. The suits are for an accounting g
of the society's funds and for the division
of the surplus among the poficyhoders.
The directors defendants numbered
thirty-three, including Hyde, Hartman,
Depew, Alexander, Tarbel, Frick, McIn-
tyre and Morton. 1t was agreed that all
the demurrers should be argued together
and Samuel Untermyer, w. W. Wicker
sham and John c. Mlburn, among the
large array of counsel on hand for the
various defendants, argued for the de-
murrers. Acknowledgement Mayer ap-
peared for the State.
The gist of the main argument of the
lawyers for the defendants was that the
actions were improperly brought and that
several causes Of action were msjoined.
Mr.. Untermyer declared that there could
not be any allegation of deliberate fraud
and that therefore the Attorney-G General
had no standing. There might, said Mr..
IL ttl dleRdllOllS "cit
proved be an action against the defend
ants for loss through negligence, but that
was all.
Mr.. Untermyer then reviewed at great
length all the allegations of the Attorney
General, based upon the results of the
Hendricks and other Investigations. These
allegations, the lawyer argued, were not
in proper legal form, and he denounced the
the entire litigation as fishing excursion
to discover ground for action. Mr.. I'm
termyer maintained that the errors or
mistakes made by the directors and urged
as a ground of action were merely errors
of judgment or discretion, which it was
easy enough to denounce now when the
time for exercising that judgment had
long passed.
Mr.. Wickersham and Mr.. Milburn argued
along somewhat similar lines, holding that
there was nothing in the allegations on
which to base a cause of action against
the directors individually.
Mr.. Mayer replied in an extended argu-
ment, maintaining his allegations by refer
ences to the evidence given by the directors
themselves at the numerous hearings,
and by the documents and books of the
Equitable. He urged the court to dis
miss the demurrers and not delay further
the States effort to compel restitution on
the part of men who had admitted
under oath that they had, whether negli-
gently or fraudulently countennaced or
committed acts resulting in the loss of
large sums to the policyholders.
Justice Bschof gave all sides until De-
cember 10 to submit briefs.

FAGAN FIGHTS FOR CONTROL.
Wants County Committee 10 he Taken Out
OF DlckinsOn's Hands.


There will he war between the Republican
factions in Hudson county on Wednesday,
December Q, at the primaries for the election
of members Of this county committee, now
controlled by Col. Samuel d. Dickinson
for many years the Republican leader. The
SPLIT in the parry occurred in the recent
camraign, when the workers lined up on
one side for Col Dickinson and on the other
for Mayor Mark NJ. Fagan of Jersey City,
The so-called regulars, or organization men
who remained loyal to the leader, openly
knitted Pagan and did everything in their
power to bring about his defeat,
The Mayor won by majority of over
$500 on home made issue that the control
of the municipal government should not
fall into the hands of the political bosses and
the corporations. The Republican follow
ers Of Mayor Pagan say that the fight was
only begun when the Republican candidate
was victorious in the face of the united
opposition Of Col. Dickinson and the Demo-
cratic machine. They now declare that
they will continue the fight with the
idea Of wrestling the control of the party
machinery from those who are supposed
to be in power now.
The Dickinsonites are equally determined
to kill of Pagan, so far as his active par
ticipation in the management of organiza-
tion affairs is concerned 1t has been
known for some time that the regulars
intend to nominate candidates for county
committeeman in the maj ority of districts
In Jersey City now represented by Repub-
hcans who are favorably disposed toward
the Mayor. 1t became public property
yesterday that the Pagan folks proposed
to put up opposition tickets in many dis
ytricts outside Of Jersey City and to fight
for the control Of the county committee.

assented to by all the justices except Hooker.
Justice Woodward holds that the Legis-
lature has the power to mutualize the COM
pany.
Surely" says he 1T may not be said
that it ID not within the reserve power OF
the State to 80 regulate the internal Affairs
of one Of its creations that the creature
may not be compelled to carry out in GOOD
faith the purposes for which 1t was created,
and what Is necessary in this regard is with
In the discretion of the Legislature Wheth-
er the scheme which is proposed and
which is now before us is good one or
not is not here for determination; we are
dealing now with question Of power, and
we have no doubt that the Legislature
might, If it saw fit SO amend the laws OF
this State us to permit Of the choice OF
majority Of the directors of the defendant
company"
In sustaining the decision Of Justice Mad
dox Justice Woodward says:
In the absence of positive enactments
giving the power of control over to policy
holders the court ought not to seek for
strained construction to give this power,
even though it be called mutual cation.
So radical a change in the policy OF the
State in respect to this most important
branch of it's policy ought TO be clearly man
ifest in the statutes Of the State before it is
put into operation by the mere vote OF
board Of directors who were not chosen with
any view to the possibility of such action
The decision will have no effect on present
conditions in the Equitable under the Ryan
trustee arrangement.

Can Mutuallze the Equitable.
The Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court, in Brooklyn, handed down decision
yesterday which will prevent the Equitable
Life Assurance Society from filing with the
Superintendent of Insurance the proposed
amended charter which provides for the
complete naturalization of the society.
The decision snstains the judgment of
Justice Maddox of the Supreme Court in a
suit brought by Franklin B. Lord, a min
ority stockholder in the Equitable, against
the board of directors and officers of the
institution. Mr., Lords suit was brought
when the controversy in the Equitable
was at its height and after the board of di-
rectors of the. society hRi aasuzaH
lied an amendment to the charter WfIich
would put the control of the society into
the hands of the policyholders. Mr.. Lord
obtained an injunction from Justice Maddox
He was represented in the argument of the
case by Edward NJ, Shepard
One of the plaintiffs contentious was
that there is no power in the Legislature
to authorize the amendment Of the socetys
charter. He also contended that the action
of the board Of directors was null and void
and that the only power in the matter Of
changing the society's charter was vested
in the stockholders. The argument was
