REPUBLICANS SEIZE
CONTROL IN ESSEX.

NEWARK, Dec. 1:-While the
democratic members elect of the
Essex County Board of Freeholders
and some of the party leaders we're
holding a secret caucus in the Jeffer-
sonian Club house in Newark, last
night, making a slate for the import
ant county officers and q%uarrelling
over the apportionment of. $50 minor
officers, the republican machine was
busily engaged at a meeting of the
common council in selling the fruits
of the recent democratic victory at
the polls.
The action taken last night will
prevent the PROPOSED organization of
a new Board of Freholders on Mon
day by the democrats, as vas plan
ned, and will also wrest from demo-
cratic control, or at least break,
the tie which would exist in the new
Board of Education and in the COM
mon council.
An ordinance for the changing of
ward and district lines and the crea-
ton of a new ward, making sixteen
instead of fifteen, vas the joker. 1t

DOCTORS MUST ATTEND
Court Will Not Accept Certificates
for Commitment.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. L.
Jurge Booraem in court yesterday de-
clared that henceforth a strict in
quiry will be made by him into all
lunacy cases that come up in the Mid
dleSex courts. The practice has hith-
erto been to take the physicians GER
tificates as conclusive evidence of the
patients insanity and to take other
testimony solely concerning the resi-
dence and means of support of the
patient.
81 have given this matter much
thought" said Judge Booraem, "and
have come to the conclusion that this
practice is wrong. A mans liberty
is too sacred a thing to be disposed
of upon an eX parte affidavit. Under
the law "A mans property cannot be
.t1kcn from him except after a trial
by Jury.
Hereafter the court will require
patients, but also the presence of the
pky&icians and the keeper of the asy-
lum or one of his physicians, unless
the superintendent of the asylum will
send a certificate of the mental condi-
ton of the patient"
The Judge said that there had been
an alarming increase in the number
OF patients SEM to the state hospitals
from MiddleseX county, and while he
had no reason to believe that there
had been anything out Of the way in
any of the commitments, he believed
that a rigid inspection should be
made of all future applications.
Three lunacy cases were brought
up by Assistant Prosecutor Tindell.
Evidence concerning the indigency
was presented and the court deferred
making the order of commitment I'M
til further proof he desires is pro-
duced.
Mrs. Elizabeth jolly, of Spotswood,
testified concerning her daughter,
Margaret Jolly, who has been placed
in the Trenton asylum. Miss Jolly
has lived in Middlesex county all her
lift.
Mrs. Rachel Doll, of Highland
Park. testified concerning her hus-
band, Joseph Doll, who went crazy a
few weeks ago and tried to kill him
self. Doll has lived in the county
most of his life.
Thora Jensen, who jumped from
the Amboy bridge recently was also
considered. r. r. Peltier testified
in the case.

Motorcycle Racing to be Feature
at Spokane Interstate Fair.

Motorcycle racing is new feature
which will be introduced at the Spo-
kane Interstate fair this year. This is
one of the most exciting and often one
of the most dangerous of races. These
bicycles, run by gas line, are able to
make much higher speed on halfmile
track than automobiles can do. Thew
go round the fence at terrific pace
and if any accident occurs, the rider is
in danger of being instantly killed.
There were several intensely exciting
motorcycle races at the fair grounds in
June during the meeting of the North
west Athletic Association. One man
made mile in 1884 minutes, which is
exceedingly fast for half mile track.
Another man narrowly escaped injury.
He was crowded onto the outer fence
but he was going so rapidly that his
wheel actually mounted the fence and
he was leaning in so far, in making
the curve, that he did not come in
contact with the fence himselfand es-
capped injury.
Motor cycling in this part of the
country is newer than automobilins
and the racing is more exciting and
more dangerous, but already a number
of owners of machines in Spokane are
inquiring about the race, and probably
will enter.
