wholesome regard for the majesty of
the law.
And the Grand Inquest further pre-
sents, that at late session of this body
complaint was made to us against the
railroads and factories operating in this
county for burning soft coal. This evil
no doubt exists to an alarming extent.
We are advised that there is an ordin-
anee in Jersey City regulating this evil,
and If properly enforced would abate this
nuisance. Testimony disclosed the fact
that the Erie Railroad Co. was the prin-
cipal offender in this respect, and that
this same company has for some time
past permitted the practice to continue
of allowing their engineers and fremen
in control of engines on the trestle near
Jersey avenue, to blow their whistles aad
ring their bells at all hours of the night
to such an extent as to disturb the peace
and quiet of that neighborhood. We
respectfully request that these nuisances
complained of be referred to the next
Grand Jury for investigation, in the hope
that this evil may be remedisd."

Vice Chancellor Bergen Calls
G. w. FIaacke Extravagant
In Management Of His
Uncle's Estate
EXPENDITURE UNJUSTIFlED
COURT REDUCES SOME FEES
AND DIsCONTINUES OTHERS
ITEMS CHALLENGED
special to .srhe Jersey city News. y

TRENTON, July 6, s1906.-George
w. FIaacke, Jersey City lawyer is
severely criticized for his extravagant ex-
penditures as executor of the estate OF
his uncle, Frederick w. Flaacke. In an
opinion handed down by Vice-Chancellor
Bergen as vice-ordinary of the Preroga-
tive Court The widow and daughter of
the late Mr. Flaaeke made an unsuccess-
full attack upon a codicil of the will
which made the nephew sole executor
and later took exception to a number OF
the items in his account filed with the
surrogate. Some of the exceptions were
allowed by the Orphans Court of Hud-
son County, but the Prerogative Court
has still further reduced the claims of
the executor for allowances and counsel
fees by upward of $500, and ordered
that the costs of the appeal shall be paid
by the executor and not from the estate.
l. nG OplltiOA VI Liz fISC-OAAAloAJ AioO
states that reasonable counsel fee will
be allowed the appellants, to be fixed
when the final decree is advised.
Mrs. Flaacke and her daughter chal-
lenged six items in the executors ac-
counts as follows: a. $325.13, retained
by the executor for alleged services to
the testator; (2) $71.25, paid the State
Treasurer for collateral Inheritance tax;
81 such part of S351.7 73 as represented
taxes of a like character paid to the
Treasurer of New York on legacies CIV
en- to George w. Flaacke, Jr., and Fred-
erick w. Flaacke; (4 $115 paid James
R. Bowen for counsel fees and seryicess
(5) S4,268.17 paid to counsel for services
and counsel fees; t66t $18.26 paid for
copies of answer to a bill in Chancery.
The Orphans Court sustained excep-
tions two, three and six in full, and ex-
ception five to the extent of $751. "A, and
refused to sustain exceptions one and
four It awarded the executor commits
sions at five per cent. on an estate of
$50, 1853, and counsel fee of $500, to be
paid from the estate.
The vice-ordinary first discusses the
claim for services alleged to have been
renderd to the late Mr.. Flaacke by ex-
ecutor which is made up from entries
copied from his yearly diary. The court
says that with few exceptions no serious
attempt was made to show the reasona-
bleness Of the charges.
'If a claim of an executor made out
and supported as this is should receive
judicial sanction" says the vice-ordin-
ary,, "and the presentation of an ac-
coun be accepted as evidence of reasona-
BILE charges for services of this character,
the indebtedness of an estate to an ex-
ecutor would only be limited by the GU
pidity of the person estimating the value
of his services. These services extend
over period Of nearly five years. The
debtor appears to have been person OF
! means and able to pay any just claim
upon demand, and it is fact which
should be considered that he never asked
for or was presented with an account OF

Witness Can't Think.

Sir Henry Irving once said: "What
is the good of lawyers treating an
honest and sensitive witness on the
witness-stand as though he were
sneak thief? A young man in my
company was witness in a case of
robbery. He had seen a thief snatch
a young girls pocket-book and make
off. Well, the thief's lawyer Cross
examined my young friend shamefully.
he roared at him. shook his fist at
him, raved at him. And at what
hour did all this happen? the lawyer,
sneering, asked toward the end Of his
examination. I think my friend
began, but he was at once interrupted.
We don't care anything here about
what you thinkv said the lawyer, with
q sort Of contempt. Don't you want
to hear what I think? said my young
friend, mildly. Certainly not the
lawyer roared. 'Then,' said my friend,
4 may as we'll step dowa from the
box. I'm not lawyer. I can't talk
without thinking"

BUTCHERY CONTINUES.
Massacre of Hebrews in 'Bialvstok,
Russia, Reported to Have Broken
Out With Increased Fury.

A st. Petersburg special says: Dis.
orders appear to have broken out at
Bialvstok Friday afternoon with even
greater fury than characterized
Thursdays riots.
No dispatches are being received
from Bialvstok, where the telegraph
Office IS closed, but semi-of1cial mes
sages from Grodno and Minsk report
that the excesses were started again
by the throwing Of several bombs.
The crowds, according to these dis
pexhes, then opened fre on the police
station, to which the troops replied,
and there was a constant Interchange
of shots between Jews in their hous'
es and soldiers in the streets. A mob
of peasants, armed with clubs.
scythes, etc., who had found their
way into the city, was participating
In the rioting.
The city has been cordoned In or
der to prevent the ingress Of more
peasants. Many persons are reported
to have been wounded, but the num-
Der OF dead Is said to be COMPARE
lively small. Exact details Of the dis
turbances are lacking, but the pill
Laying is attributed largely to peas
ants from the country.
At St. Petersburg the lower house
Of parliament read the government
lesson on promptness Of investga-
ton of the Bialvstok outbreak, a COM
mittee OF three having been named
and departing Friday for Bialvstok
in the hope that the presence OF rep
resentatives of parliament will check
the disorders and have a salutary Of
feet on reactionary officials If the
charges are true that they are inspir-
ing excesses.
The first evidence to be submitted
to the committee will be proclama'
tions, which, it is asserted, were dis
tributed in the streets Of Bialvstok
the last ten days under the eyes OF
the police, calling on the population
to rise against the Jews.

ISOKLAHOMASTATE
President Signs Bill Addir 6
New Star to Our Flag.
EXIT INDIAN TERRITORY
President Used Two Pens in Making
Signature, One Of Gold for Indian
Territory, and the Other
Goose Quill for Oklahoma.

Another star was added to the un-
ion Saturday when President Roose-
velt signed the bill admitting Oklaho-
ma and the Indian Territory as one
state. The measure also provides that
Arizona and New Mexico may be
admitted to statehood as the state Of
Arizona, provided the people Of ths
territories vote in favor Of admission
on the terms submitted to them by
congress.
The signing of the measure was
made the occasion of an interesting
ceremony. Senator Beveridge> and
Representative Hamilton, respective
", chairmen of the house and senate
committees On territories, who have
worked long and hard to bring about
the enactment of the measure, were
present, as also were Delegate Nc
CURE of Oklahoma, and delegation
of residents of Oklahoma; Delegate
Andrews Of New Mexico, Secretary
Loeb and several others.
The president used two pens IN
signing the measure, writing his first
name, Theodore" with solid gold
pen presented by the people OF Ari-
zona, and his family name, "Roose-
velt," with an eagles quill taken from
an American eagle in Oklahoma.
After signing the bill, President
Roosevelt congratulated Senator Bev-
eridge and Representative Hamilton
on the completion Of their long and
arduous labors in connection with the
measure. He expressed in strong
terms the hope that the people OF
Arizona and New Mexico would avail
themselves of the opportunity afforded
them by the law to come into the
union as a state. From every view
noint, he said he regarded 1t as tho
wise thing to do, as. they were now
offered an opportunity which might
not again be offered in a score OF
years. The president said, too, he
had a personal interest In the admis-
sion Of Arizona and New Mexico, as
many of the members of his regiment
the Rough Riders, resided in those
territories. He, added that he hoped
sincerely the people Of the territories
would not lose the opportunity thus
presented to them.

tainly divided on the question. There
are able men who are strongly in favor
of the abolition of corporal punishment,
but the prevailing opinion among naval
officers is the other way. Is the birch
the best deterrent? That is the ques-.
ton. We have no sympathy With the
sentimental view Of the matter. Abb
horrence Of methods Of force is tradi-
tional Liberal doctrine, and one for
which we have always had unmixed
contempt. Refinement may become a
morbid process, and no nation infected
by it can have any chance in compeh-
ton with ruder peoples.-London Sat

Birds ond Bridges.

All river birds have q great dislike to
the bridges which span the stream at
intervals, and give them as wide a
berth as possible. An oyster-catcher
may be flying swiftly up river just
above the surface of the water. One
would think that it would save great
deal Of time and energy were it to con-
tinue its course under the bridge; but
no, there Is evidently something un.
canny about the latter to the birds
mind, so it invariably rises from the
surface Of the stream, and flies well
above the bridge. Small birds, how
ever, as the dipper and the swallow,
seem to ignore the obstructton.-Coun-

ed Of the plot to dynamite the bank
and to inaugurate a revolution
against President Diaz. He reviews
details already published and says,
among other things: :
"On the night of May 81, I was
informed by a man working In the
Cobre Grande that Mexican there
had told him trouble was going to
start In Cananea on the morning OF
June ! at S o'clock; that socialist
club had held three meetings at mid
night on the night Of May 80, at
which large number Of agitators OF
socialist tendencies were present;
that agitators of the western feder-
alton had been through the mines
melting the Mexicans and that they
had been furnishing money for the
socialist club that had been estab-
lished at Cananea. He also gave US
a couple OF copies Of revolutionary
circular that had been widely distrib.
uted together with number OF other
Details"
Mr.. Green adds that all federation
agitators were ordered out Of town.
and 81 think there are about 81 OF
the agitators (Mexican) now in Jail"
that many Of them were deported
from Mexico and southern California,
who have previously taken part in a.
Dor troubles; and that all Of the rev.
olutionary club that stirred up the
feeling escaped across the line the
first night. He estimates that "abcut
twenty Mexicans were killed for each
white man."

KIDNAPER BEHIND BARS.
Philadelphia Ex-5roker, in Financial
Straits, Stole Young Boy With
Hope of Getting Big Ransom.

Freddie Muth, the seven-year-old
Philadelphia boy, who was kidnapped
from school in that city nearly a
week ago, was recovered from his cap
tor in a sensational manner Monday.
For several days the identify OF the
kidnaper was known to the police,
but, despite the efforts Of 400 men
who have been working on the case,
he was not located until Monday af-
ternoon. Accompanied by one Of his
men, Chief Of Detectives Donaghy
went to 426 North Sixty-second street,
West Philadelphia, and there found
John Joseph Kean with his captive.
Kean attempted to escape, and was
shot at by the detectives. The bullets
missed their aim, but Kean surrender
ed and was taken to police headquar.
ters.
The kidnaper, who is AZ years old,
is described as former stock broker
who had recently been real estate
agent. He has wife and three chill
dren, and it is believed that his des-
perate financial situation drove him
tn his crime. In communications to
the father of the child, he demanded
$1,000 for it's return, and in a letter
written on Friday declared he would
kill the child and himself If the mon
ey was not forthcoming. Kean's terms
were acceded to in a "personal' IN
serted in all of Saturdays papers. In
q subsequent letter Kean proposed
new terms and these were likewise
accepted and another "personaP was
inserted in. Sundays newspapers.
Meanwhile misleading stories were
given to the public by the police in
order to serve their purpose.
The boy was unharmed except that
he bore evidence of suffering from
tunger and exposure. When the kid
naper and his victim were brought
before Superintendent Of Police Tay-
lor. the little one still had In his
hand the school book which he car
ried with him when he was enticed
from school by a decoy note pur-
rorting to be from his mother, and
stating that she was In a hospital
suffering from an accident.
The capture of Kean was primarily
due to the publication in Mondays
newspapers that the police had aban-
doned their search for the kidnapped
bow and his abductor. This threw
Kean of his guard and he ventured
outside the house. Blair pounced on
him and succeeded in forcing a con-
fession from him.
When the boy was found in the
house he was extremely dirty. He
said he had been kept constantly In
the house; had been given bread and
milk to eat and was not mistreated.
Kean kept constant watch from the
windows Of the house. When anyone
approached he, would carry the boy
to the roof.
After making statement Kean was
locked up and the boy was taken to
the home of his parents.

FRAUD CHARGED TO EXECUTOR
Affairs Of Brown Estate to Be Aired
Again In the Courts.

Again In the Courts.
Mary v. Connally, Elijah Brown,
Sallie Eugenia Brown and George NJ.
Brown, four Of the six children and
heirs OF Jog1h E. Brown, war gov
ernor Of es.. Ga, and United States
senator, fled a bill in the superior
court at Atlanta, Ca, Friday, against
julius L. Brown and Joseph NJ.
Brown, the remaining heirs and sons
of Governor Brown, and the exect
tors of his u, and against Peter
Brown, Leon A2,an and Mike sh1-
man
The bill charges that Julius L..
Brown, as one of the executors OF
the estate, resorted to a scheme to
purchase certain realty belonging t.
the estate for $5,025, when its real
value was $4,000, thus allowing him
to make $4,000 wrongfully out Of
the estate.
This is charged to have been a
fragrant violation Of his duties as eN-
ecutor, and that the sale Of saia
property to Peter Brown, Leon EpIan
and Mike Summarize property be-
ing subsequently decided back to Ju-
Illus L. Brown by said purchasers
was in pursuance of an understanding
between the parties, the several
transactions being characterized as
subterfuges and devices to escape the
rule Of law which does not permit
an executor to purchase at his own
sale, and is charged as q fraud upon
the complaining heirs.
