ON TRIAL FOR HAZING
COUNSEL FOR MIDSHIPMAN MAYO
ADDRESSED COURT.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 4.-The trial
of Midshipman Claude B. Mayo of Column
bus, Miss, member of the first class,
charged with hazing was resumed before
the court-martial at the Naval Academy
this morning.
The court will next take up the case
of Richard R. Mann, also first class man,
who was appointed to the Naval Academy
by President Roosevelt.
AIR. Theall. counsel for Midshipman Mayo,
addressed the court at the opening Of the
morning session. He reminded the court of
the presumption OF innocence which sur
rounded every accused person. The at
mosphere of a. court-martial, he said, Is
not favorable to the interest of people
brought before 1t, and that the law requires
the members of the court to disregard and
to require absolute proof of every element
of an offence.
Mr.. Theall then reviewed the testimony
to bring out the fact that Mayo had not
taken part in hazing, but had opposed 1t.
The Judge advocate asked the court to
find a verdict of guilty on the defendants
own admissions, as well as on the testi-
mony of the witnesses.
He then directed his attention to the evil
dence of Lieutenant Snyder. and the latter s
denial that he had the slightest thought Of
suggesting hazing.

DON'T THINK BURCHELL
WILL Be MANAGER,

The report emanating from Mana
ger Jennings, of the Baltimore East
ern League team that Fred Burchell,
the local pitcher, on the Baltimore
team, would head that team next sea-
0 i'll the capacity of manager, to
succeed Jennings, is not given much
credence in Baltimore, nor by others
cognizant with the facts. 1t is gen
orally understood that Jennings is to
manage the Detroit American League
team next year and that Joe Kelley,
of Cincinnati, is to go to the Mary
land city.
The announced purchase of Bur-
chell's services by the Cincinnati Ma
tional Leaguers seems now to have
been premature, and a recent report
has it that Burchell will be with Phil
adelphia next season. Del Mason,
Burchell's rival for pitching honors
with Baltimore the past season, has
already Joined the Cincinnati club.

ASBURY PARK ANGRY
Taxpayers viii Fight an Increase of S.,
500 900 in Their Assessments.

ASBURY PARK, Oct. 4.-Govern-
or Stokes board for the equalization
of taxes in Monmouth county will be
confronted by an army of angry tax
payers from Asbury Park. The board
jumped the assessment of Asbury
Park over $500, 600, and so enraged
the taxpayers that yesterday they as
sembled with the board of trade and
agreed to charter special airs and
present such a protest to the COVER
nor's county tax board as will set the
members by the ears.
The Asbury Park men say they do
not mind paying a fair share of the
taxes of the county, but to be made
the pack horse for other municipali-
ties, more ~leniently dealt with, is a
condition they do not intend to stand
for. Unless the county board re-
cedes from it's position the Asbury
Parkers say they will refuse to pay
their taxes and fight the assessment
to a finish in the courts.

HORSE SHOW AT PLAINFIELD.

In order to give the owners OF flne
horses in Central New Jersey a
chance to show off their animals. the
Plainfield Riding and Driving Club
has arranged a horse show, the sec
ond this season, to be held at the
clubs new grounds, Woodland e
nue. and Randolph street, Plainfield,
Saturday, October 13. The show
conducted in June lasted three days
and brought some of the best horses
in this section of the country to that
city. This array frightened off some
of the local owners, and so this show
has been arranged to show what a
fine lot of horses there are in New
Jersey.
One of the conditions of the show
is that all exhibits must be owned
and driven by amateurs residing with
in five miles of the New Jersey Cen
trail, from Elizabeth to Somerville,
and also including New Brunswick.
The hunters and jumpers classes are
also open to horses owned by mem
bers of the Watchunk Hunt Club.

POLITICS IN I
ROOSEVELT
Republican, Democratic and An.
dependent Tickets Republicans
Hope TO Elect 6 COunCNmen.

Politics is just now the important
thing in the borough of Roosevelt,
which used to be Carteret and neigh
boring townships. When the bor-
ough came into existence about six
months ago all was peace and har-
mony-republicans and democrats
united with officers who were elected
almost unanimously. There was OPP
position only to the mayoralty can
didate, Joseph A. Hermann, and he
won out.
But now unanimity has vanished.
Each party is working hard to get its
men in. To complicate matters, there
is an independent party which has
named a full ticket. The supporters
of the independents are hopeful for
a look-in on election day in spite of
contrary representations by the reg
ulars.
The democrats have put up for
mayor the present incumbent, Joseph
A. Hermann; for tax collector,
Charles A. Brady; for assessor, Will
liam d. Casey; for members of the
borough council, Patrick Denlea,
Herman Gerke, William N. Nash,
William M. Radley, Isadore Schwartz
and Emil Wilhelm; for justice of the
peace, Samuel B. Brown.
The republicans have named w. B.
Keller for mayor; for tax collector,
Thomas DevereauX; for assessor,
John H. Nevill; for members of the
borough council, John X. Bryan,
Robert Jeffries, Herman Nederburg,
Nicholas Rizak, Jacob Steinberg and
William Walling; for justice of the
peace, Thomas l.. Slugg.
The independents have put up Ed
ward Quinn for mayor, and are back
ing him with a full ticket. Quinn
ran against Hermann when the bor-
ough was organized.
While the election or Hermann as
mayor is said, by his supporters, to
be certain, the republicans are conf
dent that they will elect their six
councilmen. If the forecasts of the
prophets are to be relied on, the bor-
ough will have a democratic mayor
and a complete republican council.
1t is thought that the sentiment OF
the borough is republican, but that
Hermann's personality will land him
in the mayors chair. There is a
wide diversity of opinion as to how
the contests for the minor Offices will
result.
Though Mayor Hermann's friends
confidently claim that he will be
elected, the three-cornered fight for
the mayoralty will be an interesting
one. Quinn, the independent, is an
old-time resident, and a good fighter
At short notice, when the borough
was organized, he went into the fight
against Hermann and succeeded III
making him pay attention. Keller
is superintendent of a fertilizer fac.
tory in Roosevelt, and his adherents
believe he will loom up large at the
finish.
