The WITNESS FORGOT
Her Failure" to Hear Bad Names
Called Spoiled the Case.

Recorder Pickersgill heard and
dismissed, last night, a case between
two Slavish women from Roosevelt.
One, represented by j. e. Stricken as
counsel, alleged that the defendant,
Mrs. Czarilla, called her bad names
on the streets of Roosevelt one night
last week. Another woman, who vas
present when the ~pleasantries were
being exchanged, was called as a wit
ness for the complainant, but testi-
fed that she heard no names called
as alleged. That, of course, left the
case resting upon the unsupported
testimony of the complainant, and
the recorder discharged the defend
ant with a few words of warning.
Lawyer Stricken ironically remarked
that when a witness for one side
zones to court with the opposite fac
ton, as in this case, the witness
memory is sometimes made cloudy.
An interesting point was raised by
Adrian Lyon, counsel for the defend
ant, when he made a technical objec-
ton on the ground that the recorder
has no jurisdiction outside this city,
except in criminal cases. Mr.. Strick-
er maintained that a section of the
charter gives the recorder jurisd1c7
ton in any case in which a justice of
the peace would have jurisdiction in
the county.

The War of the Future.

The remarkable development of
the wal automobile and the dirigible
military airship as fighting machines
to be used in the next great war be-
tween the powers provides a subject
of most thrilling and fascinating in
terest.
1t is predicted by military experts
of all nations that the war of the fu-
ture will necessitate a complete
change in military tactics, due to the
introduction of these fearful new en-
gines of destruction.
In next Sundays World a United
States Army Officer who was sent to
Manchuria by this government to
make observations at the front dur
ing the fighting between the Russian
and Japanese armies, tells how the
war of the future will be fought with
motor cars, airships and submarines
on land, in the sky and beneath the
ocean.

RAILROADS TO
FIGHT TAX LAW
Will Take DuftieId Act Into the
Supreme Court Doubt Its
COnStitutiOnaIity.

TRENTON, Sept, 5.-The rail
' roads of New Jersey will test the eon-
stitutionality of the Dufield act Tor
the taxation of second class railroad
property by carrying the assessments
made against this class of property 10
the supreme court. William II. Cor
bin, acting as spokesman for the rep
resentatives of the railroads, made
this announcement to the state board
of equalization of taxes at its meet
ing yesterday. He asked the board
to render Judgment in the matter of
the appeal of the Central Railroad
Company from the assessment Of its
second class property in Newark.
This request was made in order to
give a basis for carrying the matter
to court.
After a heated argument the Board
took a vote, which Major Lentz, the
president, declared dismissed the APP
peal. But four members of the body
were present. Mr.. Armstrong de-
clined to vote, Mr.. Black and the ma
jor voted aye, and Mr.. Trick no. The
major decided that two was a major
ity of three and that the motion car
ried.
Major Lentz and Mr.. Black charg-
ed the railroads with trying to block
the administration of the law permit
ting the payment of taxes. Mr.. Cor-
bin denied this charge and said that
oil hiu c1inntC uyo,,foI ~ 10 cpp1pn n
decree that would enable them to OBJ
tain a judicial determination as to
the constitutionality of the act and
the powers of the state board.
One of the grounds of the appeal
was that while the railroad property
had been assessed at its full value,
other property in the city of Newark
had been assessed at only about 60
per cent. of it's value. The railroads
wanted an equalization either by
raising all the valuations in Newark
or by reducing the railroad assess
ments to a valuation equivalent to
that upon other property. The state
board held, and was sustained in it's
ruling by Assistant Attorney General
Duffield, that under the constitution
and the statutes, it was not within
he power of the board to equalize
taxes by placing upon any property
a valuation below it's true value.
Major Lentz accused the railroads
of bad faith, saying that when they
consented to the recent dismissal OF
tho ANNALS in C1n1dnn rnuntV they
had let it be understood that similar
action would be taken in other coun-
ties where the difference in ASSESS
ments made by local boards and
those made by the state board was
not material. He said it was then
understood that appeals would only
be prosecuted in cases where there
was an apparent substantial discrep-
ancy in valuations.

Der of matters of importance. The
questions of police salaries, method

The street commissioner was au-
thorized to advertisepIor bids for a V

reading.
Twelve property owners on New

conduct ~unbecoming a fireman. The
action was approved.
A remonstrance was received

The applications for junk licenses
from A. Belafsky, corne New street

SIMPLE CURE FOR NEURALGIA.
If on Left Side of Face Put Right
Hand in Hot Water and Vice Versa.

A simple method of curing facial
neuralgia is given in the Indian Re-
view. If the neuralgia is in the right
side of the face the left hand should
be placed in a basin of water as hot
as can be borne. Or ii neuralgia is on
the left side of the face then the right
hand should be placed in the hot wa
ter. 1t is asserted that in this way re-
lief may be obtained in less than five
minutes.
The explanation is that the two
nerves which have the greatest mum
Der of tactile nerve endings are the
fifth and the median nerve. AS the
libres OF these two nerves cross, any
impulse conveyed to the left hand will
affect the right side of the face, or if
applied to the right hand will affect
the left side of the face. This is on
account of the crossing of the cords.

tied enough, and the iron railing on
the, top is already partly in place.
Foreman John Fothergill is in
charge of the work, and expects to
be through with the finishing touch
es in a few days. The recent rains,

and declined. The land was finally
divided up as a dividend among the
stockholders, and 1t is understood is
very valuable, embracing some of the
best parts of Paterson. How much
of the land is still held by the share
holders is not certainly known, but
it is believed considerable of it passed
into other hands. When the East
Jersey Water Company was formed
and Mr.. Bartlett turned his entire
holdings over, the charter of the So
ciety for the Establishing of Useful
Manufactures went along. What Mr..
Bartlett received as his compensa-
ton, is naturally not divulged, but 1t
is supposed to have been satisfactory
to the eminent water promoter and
expert.
1t is asserted that should the court
decide against diversion, the East
Jersey Water Company would con-
tend that it was free from the restric-
tons placed by the Jersey court, be-
cause the old and unique charter re-
ferred TO as an asset of the company
would render the company, under its
provisions, free from interference.
The contention would be that the So
ciety charter and its rights became
the property of its assigns after the
Bartlett purchase, and the purchaser
or purchasers and his or their assigns
could exercise the privileges granted.
How far this theory would reach is
not known, but it is understood that
Bartlett and his able corps of attor-
neys believed that it extended to all
the properties belonging to them or
thereafter to the East Jersey Water
Company, including such subsidiary
concerns as the Montclair Water
Company, the Suburban, etc. That
feature of the proposition might re-
suit in more litigation. The ques-
ton of the rights of the federal gov
eminent as compared with the state
decision may consider that possible
phase of the controversy. If the New
Jersey courts should hold that they
can prevent diversion or water from
the state, even as against the powers
of a charter such as the old society
conferred, it is easy to see that the
East Jersey company would waste no
time in asking for a construction of
the matter and a decision of the Unit
ed States court.
Litigation of that kind would be
very tedious, of course. Whether
pending final review and decision the
water company would be enjoined
from selling and diverting any of it's
water supply furnishes another of the
problems that may readily enter into
the contest. The water companies,
and particularly the East Jersey,
with it's r~amifications and connec-
lions, are very influential, and in
clude many of the w%ealthiest men in
the state. Senator Everett Colby
stated at Morristown the other night
that the water combination kept a
powerful lobby at Trenton every win
ter to look after legislation. Leaving
that proclamation to one side, it is
certain that those who control the
water industry of New Jersey are
practical business men, who propose
to conserve and advance as far as pos
sible, enterprises of such magnitude
and great promise. They will fight
to the last ditch, both in the courts
and the legislature. And the fight is
now on.
