DR.. HYDE MAKES THE CHARGE
IN HIS LECTURE
Tells the Audience Which Braved
the Storm That the Gaelic Re-
VivaI Has Come to
Stay

"A Dhaoine naisle Nuair thainig me
amach as Eirinn Gael do rinne me
acht dull asteach y Erinn Gael"
DIR. Douglas Hyde said it last night
at the Mason
To the little Irishman who had
hobbled down the aisle leaning on a
black thorn stick and taken his place
in the very front row, it was music,
and he shouted back an answer. He
knew what he said and so did the little
old woman in the very last row. She
had not heard a word of 1.-The ould
tongue" for many long day and her
own was loosened in an answering
volley.
What have I done in leaving Ire
land but to come into another Ire
land?" Thus would the little Irishman
or the old woman have interpreted it
and they knew.
1t was fitting greeting, for seldom
has such a gathering of Irishmen and
women been seen in Los Angeles. In
numbers it was far from being the
largest audience, for the rain which
has reminded Dr. Hyde of his native
land is determined he shall have no
chance to forget about it during his
visit in Los Angeles. Most of the
women who We're there We're carried
to the sidewalk. 1t was damp outside,
but the dampness failed to pentrate
the Irish hearts and the welcome which
was extended to DR.. Hyde was a royal
one.

wrapped a blanket up around his
throat, ears and lower part of his
face. He therefore failed to hear the

The FIRST Of APRIL.
MUST NOT HIT
BACK AT MAN.
Judge ReisIey Defined the Law
Regarding Assault on a
Person Yesterday.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 10
Judge Heisley laid down the law yes
terday afternoon in the damage suit
of Charles Romph against Abraham
Gulick brought to recover $4,000
damages for broken rib and other
injuries sustained in an assault made
by the defendant upon the plaintiff
as to how far man was justified un-
der the law in striking another.
In this case the defendant alleged
that the plaintiff came to his place
when intoxicated and called him sew
cral vile names. This riled up Gulick
and he showed him off after warning
him to quit the place. Romph alleg-
ed that Gulick struck him so hard as
to break a rib.
Judge Heisley said under the law
no matter how many names a man
called another or how vile they were
he had no right to strike the man for
his abuse. The judge went a step
further than this. He said even
though man struck you or as in this
case where it was alleged that Romph
made a kick at Gulick, the man
struck had no right to strike back un-
less he saw or thought the man was
going to renew the assault and then
he was justified in using reasonable
means to defend himself.
The jury found the defendant not
guilty.

MIDDLESEX FARED WELL
Interest Taken in the Westmin-

thing May be Accomplished.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
TRENTON, Jan. 10:-Besides
Senator Jackson's bill for the abol-
ishment of all fees in county Offices,
which will be introduced in the SEN
ate next Monday evening, Middlesex
county is likely to be behind move
ment for the increase in pay of the
election officers.
Assemblyman Frank Crowther, of
Perth Amboy, believes that the pres.
ent sums paid the election officers
this state are insufficient, and thi(
bill should be passed giving TIN
increased remuneration. While IN
has no bill prepared he may intro
duce such measure before the pres
ent session ends.
More Pay for Election Officials
Assemblyman Crowther bases his
belief on the fact that at present the
pay for the election officers is SO small
that competent men can not be in
duced to act. He takes the view that
if the pay was increased slightly a
better class of men could be secured
as officials in certain sections of the
state, and this would tend to lesseni
many of the election troubles.
Some of the Mercer county leaders
stand with Dr. Crowther ON this
question. In fact Mercer county last
year endeavored to get such a bill
passed, but it failed to get through.
Assemblyman Haines, of South
Amboy, favors increasing the tax on
automobiles, but did not state to the
EVENING NEWS correspondent yes
terday whether he would introduce a
bill covering his views, or not.
Middlescx Fared Well.
Persons who have kept tab on
legislation for number of years said
Yesterday that Middlesex Jared un-
uAallx- well this session in its Co.
mittee appointments. The apprd
ations committee which Senator "a
son heads in the senate is, in many
respects, the most important COM
mittee in the upper house. His other
committee appointments are good al
so. All three Middlesex assembly
men show up we'll in the house list of
committees.
DR.. Crowther had a magnificent
floral tribute on his desk at the OPP
ening of the assembly yesterday. IL
was gift of the Idlewild Association
and the 'lls, of Perth Amboy. AS
sembl'"i Drake received a splen-
I'd q .ster of white carnations.
Should Purchase Westminster.
Assemblyman Crowther thinks that
something should be done in the mat
ter of purchasing Westminster, as
referred to in the EVENING NEWS
of Monday. He intimated that the
legislature would be asked TO act on
the proposition. Assemblyman
Crowthers idea is that the place
should be purchased, with enough
land to make small park, thus Civ,
ing the historic old structure fit
