MARIE ESTATE CAN BE
USED TO PAY CREDITORS
vice-Chancellor So Decides in Suit In
volving Trusteeship Of R.
Wayne Parker.

vice-Chancellor Stevenson filed his opin-
ion this morning in the suit of Carleton
Ward against John B. Marieu, which was
instituted for the sole purpose of testing
whether or not Trustee r. Wayne Parker,
of this city, had the right to meet the debts
of Marie, who years ago had entrusted
Mr.. Parker with the estate for the sole
purpose of preventing its slipping away
from the hands of the defendant.
Thirty-ive years ago Mr.. Parker was
named as the trustee for the late John B.
Parker, of Burlington. in order to protect
the interests of his daughter, who later be-
came Mrs. Marie. Ten years later a re-
visionary clause was inserted in this trus-
teeship whereby Mr.. Parker was to hold
the property, giving John B. Marie, a, son,
a maintenance out of its earnings.
This arrangement was unsatisfactory to
Marie and he allowed his friend, ]. Garlic
ton Ward, to secure judgment. vice-Chan-
cellor Stevenson said that the estate could
be used to pay the claim of the creditors
and this released Lawyer Parker from all
further responsibility.

Il believe in keeping up the fight for a

must eventually be passed if we keep on
fighting. i also believe in fighting for a
new franchise tax act, and also for a
public utilities bill. This question OF
supervision over public utilities is, | think.
one of the gravest questions before the
American people today. / believe that we
should fight for q bill similar to the one
passed in New York.
Il believe that the Democrats should
take up Judge Minturn's fight for a con-
stitutional convention. The principal ac-
tion Of such a convention should be to
change the constitution of the State so
that many of the State officers who are
now appointed, should be elected. The
offices that should be made elective are
the State Comptroller, the State Treasurer,
the Secretary of State, the A~ttorney-Gen-
eral, the Prosecutors of the Pleas and the

COME SAVE
M'GREELY!
Twas a Yellow Cur Bark.
ing and His Yelps Saved
Nan in Canal.

Patrick McGreely. 80 years old, of ZIG
Eleventh avenue, owes his life to q
yellow dog. for it was the yelping. of
the canine that aSracted assistance to
McGreely when he fell into the Morris
Canal at New street about 2 o'cloclc
yesterday morning.
.McGreely had been spending the
evening with friends in the Seventh
Ward. He took a short cut home by
attempting to climb up the steps Lead
ing to the footbridge over the canal
at New street, and whether he missed
his way and attempted to ford the
canal is not known. The only clue
known of McGreely's trouble was the
yellow dog, which heard the pnan Haun-
dering in the water nearly up to his
neck.
The animal, which is owned by the
night Waterman of the T.. r. Howell
Company factory nearby, made such
a connection that its owner was at
traeted and he saw McGreely.
Get out or you'll be drownedi"
shouted the Waterman, to which sage
advice McGreely responded. THAT I
will or stay for good. If | don't find
the pathway it's all day with Patrick
McGreely." Then he tried to find the
pathway.
The Waterman called for help, using
his nightstiek, and in a few minutes
two policemen were an hand. The
watchmar had fshed McGreely near
the bank by that time, and with the
aid of the two pd cemen he was put
on dry ground.
When McGreely was asked how be

READY TO
MAKE DEAL
IN COUNCIL
Minority Vote May Decide
the Question Of a
President.
REPUBLICANS UNPLEDGED
REPUBLICANS UNPLEDGED
Candidates for Place and Lead
ership Stand Firm, ( Despite
Efforts to Restore Har-
m0ny-.WilI Hold Caucus
Thursday Night.

The t~wenty-three men who will form
the Democratic majority in the nexi
years Common Council will hold
caucus Thursday night to chose &
president Ind a leader. 1t is expected
that there will be a lively contest fol
the places, and a possibility of a split
that will possibly give the Republican
minority of nine more Importance II
the body than otherwise possessed il
talked of.
Alderman Patrick II. Ryan, of the
Fifth Ward, present Democratic leader
in the Common Council, is slated fol
the presidency, and Alderman John F
Sinnott, of the Seventh Ward, the ex-
listing president, is slated for the lead
ership, but Ryan's friends are booming
him for reelection. A further COM
plication is added by the fact that AL
derman James A. Bray Is out for either
place, and says he has thirteen votes,
a number tina would control the eau
Gus.
1t is significant that the Republican
minority of nihe at the CAUCUS on De-
cember 6 chose Eugene C. Meyer, OF
the Ninth Ward, as their leader, and
failed to choose a candidate for the
presidency, which means that the Re
p~ublicans are not pledged to any one
of their number, but may. if advances
are made to them by one of the fac
lions of the Democratic party, throw
the nine. Republican votes to a Demo-
erat, and will geceive their reward in
the personnel of the various Council
committees which it is the ~prerogative
of the chair to appoint. AS vet there is
noting definite in the matev of a deal,
but if the Democratic majority splits,
say on Sinnott and Ryan, with a few
votes for Bray, then the man that the
Republicans throw their nine votes for
will be h next president of the Conn
mon Council.
This possibility is recognized Wy the
Democrats and the leaders of the factions
are watching for the indications Of an
agreement with the Republicans. Efforts
have been brought to bear on Alderman
Ssnnott to give way to Ryan and take>the
4 aerShtn but without result.
1.-THE Bray boom consists, so far as II
is known, of Mr.. Bray, Julius A. Meyer,
3of tie Thirteenth Ward, and John S.
Mann, of the Fifteenth. If the remaining
twenty Democratic votes were evenly
divided between Ryan and Sinnptt and the
nine Republican votes were cast for Bray
he would be elected by a majority of two.
Alderman Eugene Meyer. the Republican
floor leader for 1908, says he has heard
nothing of an agreement with any Demo-
cratic faction, but it is understood that
the minority leader Will not be averse
to coming to an honorable agreement with
his opponents II benefit from it will accrue
to the Republicans.

WON'T QUIT
AS POLICE
CHIEF NOW
Cerbltt Says He Hasn't
Thought Of Such a Thing
as Resigning Post.
RYAN AGREEMENT REPORT
Said That Captain Was to Sue
ceed.. cornell Out for a Better
Job and Department Head
FavOrs Him When Va.
cancy May Occur.

While rumors are current that Chief
of Police Michael r. Corbitt is about
to retire he himself denied the truth of
the report today by saying that he had
no intention of resigning or retiring as
head of the police department of the
city of Newark.
"I haven't thought of retiring or re-
signing my position" said Chief Cor
bitt. when I do I will let you know
he added in answer to questions about
his rumored retirement.
Despite his statement however to
the contrary. it Is said on apparently
good authority that with the return of
Captain Michael j. Ryan to duty Chief
Corbitt, according to an agreement en-
tered into by his friends When he was
made chief, would retire and his
successor would be Captain Ryan, who
reported al the First Precinct Station
this morning for the first time.esince
September %. when he was stricken
with typhoid fever. According TO the
rumored agreement Ryan relinquished
temporarily the chance of being chief
of police, owing to the fact that friends
of Corbitt wanted the latter to act as
chief of police as a fitting wind-up to
his many years OF service as a police
captain in this city. 1t was understood
at that time, according to umo that
Corbitt was to step out on November
10, but the fact that Ryan was ill gave
him a chance to remain longer.
Sergeant Thomas j. Council, who has
been attached to headquarters since
Chief of Police Corbitt took hold of
affairs there, made known today his
standing in the race for higher positions
when Chief of Police Corbitt was being
asked about his proposed retirement.
I'm justice to me, chief, l ask you
now to let me know just as soon as you
resign, so~that l can han in my ap-
plication for your position said Con-
nell to the chief.
Chief Corbitt was taken aback for a
moment when Connell declared him
self a candidate for the office of chief,
but he replied that he would certainly
grant Connelps request.
"I want to say" said Chief Corbitt,
''that there isn't a nan in the police
department whom 1 would rather see
at the head of affairs than you, Tom"
You can say Tor me, Sald Connell
to the newspaper men, that I am u
to be chief of police or for any other
higher office of the police department.
My record is as good as any man now
seeking any honors, and much better
than a good many of the candidates for
the captaincies. 1 am willing to go
back to my record or take any civil
service test that may be put to me-"
Cornell remarked that he was tired
of being attached to headquarters with
no work to do" and told Chief Corbitt
pointblank that he wanted a change of
some kind where there was more ac-
tivity.

LEGISLATION
Sullivan, Probable Minority
Leader, to Urge COnsti-

Especial to the Evening star.l

JERSEY CITY. Dec. 9.-Assembly-
mar Mark A. Sullivan, of Hudson,
who, because of hts work ON the Hahn
investigating committee will be made
floor leader of the Democratic minority
in the House. gave out his morning
an outline Of the work of the Demo-
cratic members at the next session of
the Legislature. According to Mr.. Sui
Ivan, the Democrats will make a fight
from the start of the session to the
end for reform legislation.
This work, Mr.. Sullivan says, will be
conducted along sane lines, and an
effort will be made to eliminate all un-
necessary bills so that the calendars Of
the Legislature will not be crowded
with unimportant
According to Mr.. Sullivan, the Demo-
Gratis in the House will make a strong
fight for the passage of a genuine equal
tax bill, a new franchise tax act, a
public utilities bill, and will also use
their best endeavors to bring about a
constitutional convention at which the
minority will endeavor to change the
constitution so as to bring about the
election of many State officers who are
now appointed.
First and foremost" said Mr.. Sullivan,
II believe that the Democratic minority in
the next session should endeavor to sup
press unimportant legislation. and in the
party caucus l shall endeavor to bring
about such a result. The introduction Of
bills should be cut down. 1 believe thai
the introduction of a mass of bills. some
of which are unnecessary and many that
are simply passed to apply to small con-
ditions here and there, should De discour-
aged. The object should be to introduce
good bills, and to keep down the introdue-
ton of unlmportant bills so that the pub

tunity to watch these important bills close
