JUDGMENT FOR BREWSTER.
Judge Left in Doubt Over Verbal Lease,
So Defendant Got Benefit.

Almost the entire morning session
in the First District Court, Judge Ray
mond presiding, was consumed today
at the trial of a suit brought by A.
clifford Plume against Samuel B.
Brewster, to recover 5000. From the
story unfolded on both sides, Brewster
leased a house from Plume situated
at 244 Summer avenue, on October l,
1905, for one year.
When the lease expired Brewster
continued as a tenant of Plume's with
out the original lease being renewed
and after living this way for seven
months Brewster moved in a house
by himself.
The plaintiff claimed that there was
a verbal agreement for another years
lease and this was admitted by
Brewster, but the latter claimed that the
the agreement was one-sided, as he
agreemen was one-sided, as he refused to
accept the verbal agreement suggested by
the owner.
Judge Raymond ruled, after a long
discussion by the lawyers in the case,
that it was the plaintiffs obligation to
show preponderance of evidence gov
erning the verbal lease and said that
he was obliged to give the benefit of
doubt to the defendant, and gave
Judgment accordingly for Brewster.

John Lucas, 16 years old, a student,
who is the master of six languages
and who returned to this country from
Austria October l last, is being sought
for by his sister, Mrs. julius Brod, of
ITO Baldwin street, with whom he lived,
as well as a brother. August Lucas. Of
Springfield avenue, and other relatives.
Captain Carroll, of police headquarters,
has interested himself in the case and
will furnish his sleuths with the de-
scription of the boy, who has been
missingA since 1920 Monday morning.
when he left the home of his married
sister.
The boy was born in Austria and
came to this country with his mother
and other members of the family when
three years of age. His father died
soon after their arrival here, n four
years ago the boy was inclined to have
a desire to become a Catholic priest.
At the time his people had sufficient
funds to give him a start, and with
his mother he returned to his native
country and entered the Catholic coll
lege at West Tarnoine, Austria. He
remained there until several months
ago, and with his mother arrived here
October l. Owing to Illness Mrs. Lucas
was forced to remain in the hospital
at Central Islip and the boy came to
this city.
He surprised his friends and rela-
lions when he demonstrated that he
was able to master French, German,
Greek, Latin, Polish and the English
language. and besides showed rare abil-
ity' for one of his age.
His return to this . country was
brought about by his necessity for
funds, and 1t was his intention to Sc
cure a position as drug clerk in this
city and endeavor to raise sufficient
funds to send him through college.
On Monday he set out to secure en-
ployment, and when he returned at
10i30 his sister was not al home, and
he again left the house and has not
been seen or heard of since. AT first,
when nightfall arrived. it was thought
that the boy was at the home of his
brother, but his brother-in-law lost no
time in hurrying to his home and found
that such was not the case. Again 1t
vas believed that he went to Jersey
City and decided to remain over night
with relations there, but when the
were communicated with 1t was
found untrue.
Following this a general alarm was
sent out and the police were furnished
with a description of the boy. He
wore a dark mixed suit, white soft hat,
black shoes, white shirt and collar and
brown necktie. He is about five feet
four inches tall and weighs about 1875
pounds. The middle finger of his right
hand has no finger nail.

ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. 14.-Smiling and
apparently unmindful of the gravity Of
his situation, Jacob Freas, accused by tho
coroner's jury of the murder of his aged
uncle, Absalom Magee, travelled in

WANT NEW TROLLEY
IMPROvERS JOIN FOR AN
OTHER LINE.
Second Ward, Irvington, and Fairview
Associations Ask for Bergen
Street Extension.

A united effort to induce the Public
Service Corporation to extend its Bergen
street car tracks to Lyon avenue, Irving
ton. and hen by means of a belt line
through the Parkview section, will be made
by the Second Ward Improvers of irving
ton and the members of the ParkvieW
Association. II the present plans do not
fall through. Last night the Second Ward
Improvers voted to join in the movement.
and two members, Councilman August l..
Lacombe and Benjamin Littlefeld, were
authorized to act with the Parkview peo-
pie in an effort to have the tracks ex-
tended. Health Commissioner Hugo r.
Winckler and George F. Scribe attended

night was based on their report.
The association Is on record as favoring
the location Of the ~Irvington County Park
site, so as to include brakes Lower Pond,
n while the members are apparently
pleased to have the new park located in
their locality they were not enthusiastic,
and George F. Scribe, president of the
association, who was assemblyman two
years ago and responsible for the Irving
ton end of the park appropriation bill,
expressed his dissatisfaction with the ac-
ton taken by the commissioners. The
price was too high when compared with
the price per acre that the favored lower

said. The lack of interest of the citi-
zens in the project from the Mayor down,
he said. was deplorable, and later he re-
marked that the citizens have no more
than they deserve.
Councilman Lacombe, on the other hand,
thought that the West End improvers had
unjust In so severely censuring the
commissioners. Much of the blame, he
said. should be placed on the citizens for
their apathy. He did not regard the
paid for the land as being unreason-
able.
More examples of alleged unequal as
sessment of property were cited, and they
will be placed before the State Board Of
Equalization by the committee In charge
Of the work.

DIDN'T NOTIFY CITY
ACCEPTANCE OF NEW FIRE
ALARM POSTPONED.
G4mewell People Install Fire Service,
But Neglect to Write Mayor
It's Completed.

While II had been planned by the Came
we'll Fire Alarm Company to turn over
the new plant installed In the City Hall to
the City Hall Commissioner yesterday
afternoon, It was decided after nearly all
Of the city officials were present to defer
that action until the company had mott
fed the commissioner In writing that the
work was finished. 1t appears that the
company had only verbally informed the
commissioners that it was. which did not
n axe 1t a matter Of official record, as de-
sired.
Today the City Hall Commissioner
were notified by letter that the system
was complete. by the Gamewell Company.
Another date will be set in the near future
by the commissioners for the ceremony
that was to a " taken place yesterday.
Among those present yesterday, besides
the City Hall Commissioners and the
members of the Fire Board were Mayor
Jacob II. Haussling and his secretary,
Wilson ] Vance, all of the members of
the Common Council, together with several
| A~ldermen-elecL, Chief OF Police Corbitt
and a large number of firemen. All ex-
pressed their admiration of the intricate
mechanism Of he new plant. In order to
give them an idea of the system and its
workings a street fire alarm box. No. 149,
WllMl 10 " bC HtcldAtC0 III lAC 1 bliN
Library, was placed in the new room and
connected with the service. An alarm
was turned In from that box, and In a
few seconds all of the machinery in the
room appeared to be in motion. Red
lights flashed n large and mall gongs
began to repeat the number Of the box
It was also shown that when one alarm
has been sounded a second alarm or third
alarm may be received and will not affec'
the first. as the others will be recorded
on different machines. Then, too, it wal
shown that the alarm from the stree
boxes. instead Of being relaid, can be sen
direct to the fire houses, thus saving sew
eral seconds to the companies responding
to the alarm.
1t will also be possible for the operator
to send alarms to all of the engines IL
three different ways; one by the big gongs
another by the small gong on the house
w~atchman's desk, and the third by tbs
telegraph sounder.
1t is said to be one OF the most com
