Judge Cowing suspends sentence in Case
OF Man VINO Pleaded Guilty.

One OF the last official acts of judge
Cowing of General Sessions was to suspend
sentence on William Westoott BridReman
Of Nutley, N. j., who was arrested on the
charge OF John Hankin, a contracting
engineer. Bridgeman had been a book
keeper for Hankin, and he was accused
Of stealing $4,000 in 1904. Bridseman
was arrested a short time ago. He pleaded
guilty, and on the recommendation of
Acting District Attorney Smyth, who made
an investiga ton, Judge Cowing suspended
sentence.
About forty property owners of NutIev
sent a petition to Judge Cowing asking
for mercy for Bridgeman. They told how
he and his wife were good people and
did charitable work in the town Bridge
man 3 employers, the Sedgwick Machine
Works, said that Bridgeman had been
with them for eighteen months: that he
had been faithful and honest, and thar they
would take him back and give him work
If he was discharged

for mercy:

MAY RECOVER LAND SHE SOLD.
Supreme Court Orders n RetranSfrr or
ThirtN-fOur Lots In The ErOnN

A decision rendered yesterday by Justice
Mrs. Mary +. Mccormack of Yonkcrs in
possession again of thirty-four lots of
land. formerly part of the Haight estate
in The Bronx, which are valued at many
thousands of dollars.
Mrs. Mccormack, according 10 the evil
dence adduced on the trial. consulted
Clarence W. Gaylor, "a real estate dealer,
three years ago as TO what she should do
with her lots. Gaylor told her that he
could dispose OF them well for her and few
weeks later he advised her to sell the lots
10 the Royal Realty Company for $4,000
and to leave the money with the company
to earn per cent interest.
Unaware that Gaylor himself was vice
president of the Royal Realty Company
Mrs. Mccormack did as he told her, and
conveyed the property to the company
She kept getnng interest on the money
regularly for two years and suspected
nothing until Gaylor died in April, 1905.
Then her interest stopped, and on inquiry
at the company's offices she learned that
the company had bought her properly for
2,6OO shares of its stock, at $5 a share, and
that the stock stood in Gaylors name
W. T. Ritch, who succeeded Gaylor as
president, testified that he knew nothing
Of the interest of Mrs. Mccormack in the
property. He said that the company's
stock had no marketable value, and that
the only property owned by the company
was that formerly belonging to Mrs. McCor-
mack.
Justice Truax handed down decision
yesterday holding that Mrs. Mccormack
was entitled to recover her property.

Complaint OF Tenants

Clarence Woodbridge, the negro telephone
operator at the Revere apartments. 22i1
Seventh avenue, for the last four years,
was locked up in Police Headquarters last
night charged with the larceny Of jewelry
from several of the apartments.
Harry b. Vought on December 5, 1905,
lost a diamond ring valued at Sl75. on
November of this year w c. Brouwer
missed a pair Of diamond earrings valued
at $3.50. On the day before Christmas Mrs,
james Young missed pair Of pearl ear
rings worth $3.50.
Young was insured against loss bv theft
and notified the company and Police Head
quarters about his loss. Woodbridge over
heard him and came TO him Immediately
afterward, saying that he had found Young
brooch and that this was the first time he
had known who had lost il. Young was
therefore entitled to the pawn ticket for
the brooch, which he gave him.
After getting the brooch Young told the
circumstances to Detective Sergeants Jack
son, Collins and Dallery, detailed on the case.
They went TO Woolridge's rooms AZ 27
West I43d street and found them hand
somely furnished. They questioned him

Great Britain Informed That Any Action II
May Take VIII Receive Our support.

WASHINGTON, Dec. % The Government
here, through the embassy in London has
informed the British Government that any
action il takes toward procuring an amelio-
ration of conditions in the Congo will have
the sympathy and support of the United
States. II is believed that this is as far
as the United States can go. The United
States is not signatorv to the treaty of
Berlin, which deals with international
control over the Congo Free State, al
though plenipotentiaries of this country
were in Berlin and signed the convention.
Mr.. Bayard, then Secretary Of State, how
ever, did not send the treaty to the Senate,
out instead sent note TO the other Powers
signstory that the signatures of the Amerl-
can delegates we're withdrawn and that
the signing was done without authority.
Howard Guinness. the head of the regions
beyond Missionary Union, called at the
State Department to-day and asked Secre-
tary Root il the large and recently acquired
commercial interests Of Americans in the
Congo would interfere with the policy Of
the Government He referred 70 the con-
Cessions given by King Leopold 70 Thomas
+. Ryan, the Guggenheims and their asso-
ciates. MIR. Root told Mr.. Guinness EN-
phatically that these commercial interests
would not affect the attitude Of this Govern
ment.
The matter of annexation of the Congo
by Belgium is now before the f'arnament
at Brussels and in the result Of the debate
there may be a solution Of the entire diff
Guilty. Great Britain, with whom this
Government Is earnestly cooperating, will
be satisfied If the Belgian Government
takes over control Of the Congo and 1t
seems likely that this will be done II
cannot be learned just what steps Great
Britain has taken toward calling King
Leopold's attention to its disapproval OF
affairs in the Congo. Some weeks ago
Sir Edward Grey, Minister OF Foreign
Affairs at London, indicated very directly
that the London Government disapproved
of the policy followed by the Kings agents
in the Congo, and il was the expT ession
Of sentiment that brought about the
communication from Washington 70 Lon
don. The attitude OF this Government
was conveyed in a rather informal way,
being entirely verbal. The situation Is
most delicate and il would be very diff

Grant I'm Lake ChampIaIn.
ALBANY, Dec. 2s-Secretary Of State
John c. OBrien has applied to the State
Land Board for a grant of land under the
waters Of Lake Champlain at Plattsburg
extending a quarter of a mile out into the
lake and 800 feet wide The usual ten DAYS

before a subcommittee of the Land Board
consisting Of Attorney General Mayer and
State Engineer Van Alstyne, at an early
hour tomorrow morning. II is expected
that the application will be reported ia
vorably forthwith to the full board in order
TO enable the Secretary of State, who il
chairman Of the Land Board, TO rush the
application through before the Republican
board goes out OF Office Monday.
A pulp and paper mill adjoining the
proposed grant claims that IL will shut its
property Off from the lake and that II any
as a riparian right il is the mill company
which asserts that the Kellogg a 'Brien
Dock and Coal Company is not such a legal
riparian owner as would entitle il to this
grant
The mill company will appear before the
board by counsel and ask that this applica-
ton be not rushed through but that Il take
the usual course, which would mean that
IL would go over for action until some time
in January, when the Democrats will control
the State Land Board.
The mill company declares il the Kellogg
4 O'Brien company gets this grant IL will
give TO il a practical monopoly of docking
privileges at Plattsburg.

ROOrS SPEECH oy STATE RIeHrs

Brler Filed I'm Supreme Court

WARRINGTON, Dec 2s.-The speech Of
Secretary Root at New York recently,
which has been the subject Of criticism be-
cause Of his alleged advocacy of ultra
centralized government, Is referred TO ap-
provingly in a brief filed in the Supreme
Court to-day by Solicitor General Hoyt on
behalf Of the Department of Justice. lie
asserts, however, that the position taken by
Mr.. Root has been misinterpreted by the
advocates of States rights. and this was
particularly true OF his reference to uniform
State laws. Mr.. Hoyt said that Secretary
Root spoke with the authority of an eminent
public man as well as counsel learned in the
law, aud refers thus to that portion OF his
speech devoted to uniform laws:
He says that If one State maintains law
condemned by the public sense Of the whole
country, or lags and fails in the perform
ance Of its duty. then the instinct for self
government OF the people il too strong to
permit them long to respect any ones right
to exercise a power which he fails to exer-
oise. His conclusion is that the States must
awake to their responsibilities, must re-
assume and exercise their power. His
searching words are plea for more State
power, greater state rights-not less
The briefsis filed by permission OF the
court in what is known as the Kansas
Colorado suit. which was argued ten days
ago, and includes the oral argument made
by Mr.,Hoyt at that time. 1t was brought
by the State Of Kansas to restrain the State
OF Colorado and the various irrigation COM
panies chartered by it from using for irri-
CATION purposes an undue proportion Of
the water Of the Colorado River, so that
by the time the water reached Kansas the
volume was not sufficient to supply the
irrigating plants in that State. Because
Of the great irrigation projects iuaugurated
by the Government permission was granted
it to intervene as an interested party, and
taking advanced ground on the rights of
the Federal Government, it has opposed
the claims of Kansas, which are based on
riparian rights, and those of Colorado de-
pendent upon the sovereign rights of the
State to use the water OF the rivers within
the State Independent Of the riparian rights
Of any other State.
Solicitor General Hoyt, in his argument
for the Government brought up a new
point. somewhat in line with that sug-
gested bv Secretary Root-namely, that
while the States had reserved TO themselves
certain police power, yet the general
government had some general police powers
which would apply in case like this FOR the
general welfare.
