specia, to the EVENING NEWS:

Special TO the EVENING NEWS
NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 12:-
Five Perth Amboy cases were on the
calendar when Judge Heisley came
here today, the last day this term,
but none OF them came to trial, and
all were put off until the next term
of court. ys
The case of the United Grain Com
pany, assignees of Churchill & Com
pany, of Buffalo, N. Y, VS.. James j.
Nash, of Pertb, Amboy, for S1,7O1,
was started, bHf went off for the term
because of technically raised by
Lawyer John w. Beekman, the de-
fendants counsel, who did not arrive
at court until the plaintiffs case was
all in. The action is for bill for
grain declared to have been ordered
by, and delivered to Nash.
When the case was called Mr..
Beekman was not present. The jury
was drawn and Lawyer Andrew
Foles, Jr., of Newark, counsel for the
plaintiff. opened his case. They
claim $t,52250, with interest since
March 10, 1904, a total of S1,7O1.
John Robinson, a salesman for the
company, was called to the stand
and testified to selling the bill of
grain to Nash. That ended the
plaintiffs case.
Lawyer Joseph f. Stricken, of
Perth Amboy, who was in court, said
that he knew that Lawyer Beekman
was coming to New Brunswick and
that he would probably arrive on the
next car. The court agreed to wait
fifteen minutes.
When Mr.. Beekman arrived he
said that he had not been given prop
er notice of the date of the trial. He
claimed that he had had but thirteen
days notice, whereas fifteen days
notice is required by law. An inves-
tigation revealed the fact that such
was the case, and the trial went off
for the term. The jury was allowed
to go until wanted.
Contractor Sues Greek Catholics.
No reply was made when the suit
of Iver C. Ostergaard, a Perth Amboy
contractor, against the Greek Cathol-
ic church of st. John the Baptist, of
Perth Amboy, was called. Oster-
gaard claims balance of $500 due
him for work on the church. The
defendants maintain that the work
is not complete and that they should
be allowed for that. The case went
OH IOf tne term.
Damage Suit for Trees.
The case of Kinsey Brothers VS..
Lucius McHose, both of Perth Am
boy, for trees alleged to have been
cut, was put off, no answer being
made when it was called.

Because of this heavy expense it is
said bill will shortly be introduced
in congress asking for the abolishing
of number of those offices com
bining them.
If the bill goes through it may do
away with the Newark custom house
in this state and the work of that
house will be transferred to New York
while the local port will be the only
one left in this state.
\ bill similar TO the one now pro-
posed was drawn up about four years
ago and presented TO congress, but it
was killed and nothing further was
heard of it.
In the local custom house only six
persons are employed while Newark

cllssed the Moroccan situation and the
status of the relations of France and
Venezuela with Secretary Root. Wheth-
er France has decided to use force with
President Castro of Venezuela cannot
be learned. although no secret is made
of the fact that France has grown very
impatient with the Venezuelan eXecu-
tive.
With regard to Morocco, it has be-

planned to the state department. are alb
solutely Identical, both countries stand
ing for the open door and unrestricted
commerce This government agrees
with this policy. While this is the atti-
tude of the two powers, there is no
doubt that the conference will bring
out some serious difference of opinion
as to the method of applying the policy
of the open door, This government
feels that there is really nothing in the
issues which will be discussed at Alge-
ciras to warrant a war between Ger
many and France.
