TROLLEY SEAT TEST
JERSEY CITY FIGHT TO EN-
FORCE LAW.
Planned to obtain Evidence on Which
to Base a Case and Strive to
Impose Fine.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 14.-To enforce
the provisions of the no seat, no fare
trolley ordinance, which was upheld
by the Supreme Court this week, Cor
Iporation Counsel George L. Record and
Corporation Attorney Robert Carey
plan to take up the fight and decide
upon a course of action. They will
do SO before Monday, and early next
week the police will gather evidence
and. present a test case to the court.
When a case is established it will be
tried in the First Criminal Court,
where the city will seek to have the
penalty of $50 imposed.
The officials of the Public Service
Corporation assert that they are as
anxious as the city officials to see every
passenger properly cared for and that
they will seek to have the police CO.
operate with them in solving the prob
lem of handling the rush-hour traffic.
The news of the decision of the Su-
preme Court has led many persons to
believe that 1t is their privilege to
ride free II they board a trolley car at
the ferry and do not secure a seat.
Such persons have been ordered to
either pay or get off the cars and they
have done so.

FREEHOLDERS SEEKING
DETENTION HOUSE SITE.

Edwin w. Crane, county counsel. has been
asked by the building committee of the
Board of Freeholders for an opinion as to
whether an act of Legislature is necessary
authorizing the purchase of a site for the
proposed house of detention for witnesses
and juvenile transgressors.
The plan originally entertained. when
erection of the new adjunct to the States
penal institutions was provided for, pro-
posed that the new building be put up on
the grounds of the Essex County jail, but
to this plan both Sheriff Frank Sommer
and Warden Steadman have been making
objections. They do not thing best that
the W institutions should be thus closely
associated.
Mr.. Crane is taking up the question at
the instance of County Supervisor Otter
bein, an ex-oficio member Of the commit
tee. Mr.. otterbein said today the COM
mittee had not as yet settled upon any site
which it considered desirable to purchase.

Put Out of Business.

Uncle "Bil' Saizer, the jeweler sports
man. and Tom Noon, the tall leather
stocking" of Newark, went to the wllds
of Monmouth County Sunday to bag rab-
bits, quail, squirrels, etc. They camped in
a tavern at Keansburg, near Keyport. and
at sunrise Monday started out with two
dogs, supposed TO be rabbit dogs. accom-
panied by a party Of wealthy New York
sportsmen
Uncle BILL" who has always had odd
and amusing experiences thrust upon him
by fate In his fishing and hunting ex-
c~ursions. tried hard to evade his little
black man." but he failed because one OF
the rabbit dogs was useless. Uncle Bill"
dived into one of the former primeyal
forests, now a great swamp, covered with
underbrush, in search of bigger game. AS
Mondays sun had about reached the
meridian Tall Tom Noon and Larry and
the rest came upon the form of Uncle
"Bill' In e clearing in the forest pri-
meval."
Internal applications Of Charley Klein
schmidt's remedy revived Uncle bill"
and in broken sentences he told of empty
Ing both barrels OF his gun at something
that looked like a bear, and of the recoil
of the gun knocking him out. Kindly did
his friends bear Uncle "Bill' to the tavern,
nut him to bed, fill him with %quinine and
other r~evivers, and then returned to rabbit

pumped into him more quinine and cordial.
Last night Uncle Bill and Tom Noon
came to Newark with ~twenty-three rab-
BITS. thirty-six quail and three large gray
SQUIRRELS, that had long and handsome
tails. Uncle Bill said that Noon, who had

KOSHER MEAT WAR
BUTCHERS TRY TO CORNER
FOWL SUPPLY.
Paterson Hebrews, Irate Over Starva-
ton Tactics, Raise $4,000 for
Cooperative Shop.

PATTERSON, Nov. 1.-THE wal o
the kosher shops for increasing prices
has developed O new phase. By cutting
off the fowl supply the butchers hope
to rout their protesting customers.
Retaliatory measures are being
planned by both sides in the "kosher
meat war" and a disturbance which
seemed incipient at the start now
threatens to assume serious proper
tions. The butchers were the first to
r~etaliate. AS previously reported, they
have decided to close up their stores
as soon as the stock on hand Is dis
posed of. They followed up this &C
ton by directing all rabbis cease
Strengthening fowl. Up to date the
Strikers have been living on chickens
and by removing this source of food
the butchers hope to starve the dis
gruntled ones into submission.
On the other hand, the strikers
nave entered into negotiations for a CO.
operative butcher shop. 1t was stated
last night that many owe bills to the
several firms affected, n that they
plan to use this money in establishing
the new business. 1t was said that
nearly SIS, 900 is already on hand for
this purpose.
It is likely that the cooperative plan
will form part of the discussion at the
mass meeting called for this evening
at Turn Hall. The committee planning
for this meeting is made up of Mrs
Izenberg, Mrs. Jacoby. Samuel Harris
and Jacob Slovitz. Every STRIKER" is
expected to attend, and 1t is also
probable that many not in sympathy
with the movement will be on hand to
watch the proceedings. Chief Bimson
will detail officers there.
Violence continues to be reported from
ali sections where kosher meat Is dis
posed of. That some in the ranks are pc
coming desperate Is made evident by the
fact that threatening letters have been
sent out. One of the recipients was Harris
Russell, proprietor of a shop at 10 Goodwin
street. He has been Informed by letter
that the strikers will get revenge on MIN
before the trouble comes to an end.
Abram Kaplan. who conducts a butcher
shop at 253 River street, was dragged out
of his store last evening. He was given
a severe beating by the disturbers.
There were other instances where bosses
and those who offended by purchasing
supplies were attacked. but these assaults
have not been entirely one-sided. Three
women who attempted to take meat away
from two men were pummelled and were
glad to quit.

ALIENS FROM MISSOURI
AND CAN'T BE J0LLlED.
No Getting Around Tenement House
Commission Plans and Speci-
fcation Notice.

I am from a long line of Missou-
rians and you will have to show me"
was the clinching argument this morn
ing by Secretary Charles J. Allen, of
the Tenement House Commission, to a
long line of protestants, as he stood
behind his desk in the Lawyers build
ing. in Market street.
Some in line, who wanted to go ahead
and finish their buildings which, according
to the inspectors attached to the commits
sion, declare are being erected illegally,
snickered at this remark, but not so with
the secretary.
What 1 nave to say to one is applicable
to you ALL" he declared, somewhat warmly.
You read in last nights EVENING STAR
that all plans and specifications for new
buildings and for alterations must be filed
in this office, and that goes" he added.
Then the secretary began to individual
lie. Now, you, Mr.. Levy''-pointing TO a
well dressed man in the line of half q
dozen-"came here with plans for a new
house. You showed us a store and In the
rear you had allotted n room known and
designated as a store room. Your plans
for such a room are still here yet you ex-
pect this department to c~ountenance an
lnfraction of the law by permitting you
to so alter these rooms as to permit per-
sons to live in them. No, sir, you must
conform to the law or else stand the con-
sequences
But protested Mr.. Levy, ut is the
architects fault. When l had the house
erected l saw to it that everything was
done according to the new law, but. the
architect has failed to put these things in
his plans"
1t was then that Secretary Allen told
of mis- being a descendant of Missouri, and
Mr.. Levy was told to have the architect
in the secretary's office tomorrow morning,
when the matter will be threshed out.

BALZAC STYLE
INFERIOR,
CRITIC
Louis A. ROux Reviews AL
thOr'S Work Before AL
lance Franchise.

At the meeting of the Alliance Fran
caise yesterday afternoon, Louis A. Roux,
In a critical review of Balzac and his work,
said:
to style Balzac is very inferior.
The composition of his stories is exceed
ingly poor. What interests the reader in
Balzac is not so much the plot of his
stories, but his wonderful description anG
the seeming realism of his novels. Balzac
did not indicate as a youth that he would
be a great novelist. He was advised by
one of his professors to do anything else
except write books.
9TH careful training Balzac received
at the law school," Mr.. RouX said, was
of great use to him and explains his
thorough knowledge of Law that astonishes
u.s." Mr.. Roux also spoke of the diff
culties Balzac had to overcome before he
could write the books which compose the
Human Comedy"
The lecturer rather startled his audience
when he said: "Balzac had not a natural
gift for writing. He had to work very
hard to bring out the volumes of the
Comedy" Speaking of the manner In
which he wrote his books, Mr.. Roux said
.Ordinarily Balzac retired at G o'clock In
the evening. slept until u, then got up
and worked until noon. To drive away
sleep, he drank very strong coffee. After
having thought over the subject of his
new novel, he wrote out a sketch of the
story and sent it TO the printer. The fol-
lowing day it came back printed on large
sheets of paper with wide margins. Balzac
then vent to work correcting, adding to
the story, filling the margins and even
pasting sheets of paper to these placards.
These pldcards were sent again to the
printer, who returned them the next day
printed anew, and Balzac went through
the same process again. This he would
often repeat as many as ten times before
the story was satisfactory to him."
Mr.. Roux told how Balzac had to strug-
gle all his life and the schemes he devised
to pay off the enormous debts incurred at
the very beginning of his career. Severa
anecdotes were given to show the peculiar
imagination the novelist had, and the lee
turer also spoke of Balzac's wonderful
ability in describing persons and places,
in analysing the characters in his books,
in making the reader believe that all he
says is absolutely true. Mr.. Roux read
selections from the authors works, and
gave a list of the Balzac novels he con
sidered worth reading, as follows: "Eu-
genie Grandet," "le Pire Goriot," LA
Pean de Chagrin," LA Recherche de
|PAbsolu," "Ursule Mirouet," lie Cure de
Tours" lie Medecin de Champagne
Cesar Birottean." The attendance yes
terday was the largest of any afternoon
meeting Of the organization.
