and legs. She is in a serious condition.
According to the woman's story, she was
attacked by Mrs. Veronica Gallazelk, who
lives In the same house. The women, It
appears, have had numerous quarrels
which sometimes terminated In hstie CONF
bats and with utter disregard of Queens
berry rules.
Mrs. Gallazelk is the mother of two
children, one of whom is an infant and the
other not over three years old. For this
reason Captain Christie did not order her

said she heard the rumpus In the Reilly

FIRST WARD RECOUNT
ASKED BY DEMOCRATS.

City Counsel James r. Nugent today
made application to Chief Justice Cum
mere, in the Supreme Court. for an
order for The recount of the vote of the
First Ward in the Aldermanic contest.
Mr.. Nugent said that while the Conn
NOR Council would be strongly Demo-
cratic without the representative from
the First Ward, that he thought the
people had chose the Democratic can
didate to represent them, and hat he
thought the recount was only just to
have the voters represented by the
man they elected.
On the face of the official returns
William u. Masker, Republican, is
elected over Alderman Joseph A..
Wright, Democrat, by two votes. Mr..
Nugent, who was present at the meet
ing of the Board of Elections of the
county, sitting as a board of canvass
ers yesterday afternoon, said hat a re-
count would surely elect Wright.
Last year the official returns showed
Masker the winner by eight votes, with
Wright as his opponent for the unex-
pired term of Arthur HaslaIn. resigned.
A recount resulted in a lot of Masker
votes heing thrown out because of mis-
printed pastors, and Wright was de-
clared the winner by t~wenty-three
votes.
Mr.. Nugent says that the Inde-
pendent Citizens vote in the First
Ward will be found to have given
Wright enough to win, and that many
ballots thrown out by the district cleo
ton boards in The First will be counted
by the court. In one district, accord
ing to the return sheet. twenty-four
tickets were thrown out.

PROFITS MAY
NOW GO TO
COUNTY
Hudson Counsel Believes
Decision Against Kaiser So
Implies in Substance
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 12.-County
Counsel John Griffin stated this morn
Ing, in response to questions, that the
decision of the Supreme Court in Tren-
ton yesterday, dismissing the demurrer
filed by Sheriff Jonn C. Kaiser in the
suit brought against him to compel him
to turn over to the county the profits
he has made from feeding the prisoners
at the county Jail, means, from his
point of view, hat the profits will now
revert to the county. The next step In
the proceedings, Mr.. Griffin says, will be
in the nature of an accounting to de-
termine what Sheriff Kaiser's profits
have been.
Before Sheriff Kaiser was elected a
law was passed placing the Office OF
Sheriff on a salary basis and doing
away with the fee system. The county
made a contract with Kaiser whereby
he was to feed the prisoners at the
county Jail for thirty cents a day each
After the contract was made some crit
icism was made to the effect that II
Kaiser made n profits from this
thirty cents, under the law he could not
keep 1t. Kaiser claimed he could, AND
suit was started by Mr.. Griffin to have
the courts pass on the question. The
contract was allowed to remain In
force during the suit. and Kaiser put
up a bond indemnifying the county.
Marshall Van Wrinkle, counsel to
Sheriff Kaiser, said:
II have NOT yet seen the opinion and
do not know the extent of 1t. If the
dismissal of the demurrer is in the
usual form. it means that Sheriff Kai.
ser must plead to the declaration"

jail near prisoners Of almost every type
from murderers down. said one man.
The county authorities could not make a
wiser move than TO secure a house OF de-
tention. Essex should not be behind In an
institution of civilization.
When the few officials in charge of the
jail have as high as 200 prisoners to care
for they ann properly care for wit
nesses. Then there Is another side to the
story he commented. Very often In
manslanghter cases and other big crimes
the defendants may be prominent people
or have good backing. They are able to
secure bail. and the witness, who may be
n poor man, the head of a family or ar
only son who might be the sole support Of
his widowed mother, is forced to remain In
Jail weeks and months at a time because
he is poor and unable to pay a profess
sional bondsman big money to secure
ball"
It Is likely that on the recommendation
of the supervisor and the director the
Freeholders will proceed with the work oil
building the house as soon as they can.

IN JAIL; CANT
PAY Ills WIFE
ALIMONY
.SOmmerkOrn Wants Court
to Release Him So That He
Can Fulfil Obligation,

There vas an interesting story told
by Frederick F. Sommerkorn, a young
man, who was brought down this MORN
Ing from the Essex County Jail, where
he has been since October 2, to be
examined in Vice-Chancellor Stevens's
Court as to his ability to pay alimony
for the support of his wife, Esther
Sommerkorn, and a baby a few months
old. His attorney, George w. Titus,
had made application for his release
from Jail on the plea that he had no
money and cannot get any, and that
while he remains in jail he could not
earn money to pay alimony.
Sommerkorn, when questioned by
Vice-Chancellor Stevens, said his
father left him a house and lot. In
April last, after he had been married
several months, Sommerkorn said he
sold the real estate to his mother. who
said 1t might be worth $4,000 but she
would give $1,000 in cash for 1t.
He accepted the offer and deposited
81, 800 of the money in the Security
Savings Bank, keeping $500 to buy
things for his home and clothing for
himself and wife. Later he and his
wife had differences and she left him
anu Oucut 1OI iAdlllttldllCSg anu lie was
ordered to IA her alimony pending a
final hearing of the suit and a decision
by the court. He paid a lawyer, he
said, $500, and when his wife had him
arrested on a charge of assault and
battery, on which he was indicted by
the Grand Jury, he paid the same
lawyer 500 more to get him out of
jail, but he was kept a prisoner.
"I gave money to my wife until she
left me-" said Sommerkorn, land also
paid her counsel fees and costs of
court in her suit against me, and after
she left me and would not let me see
the baby 1 became discouraged. /
drew all the money from the bank, in
different sums, n spent 1t on car
riage rides and picnics and on drinks
for myself and friends, and after, pay
ing a lawyer to try and get me re-
leased from Jail l had no money left,
and my mother will not give me any
The v-ice-Chaneellor asked Sommerkorr
II his mother, who now ownes his prop.
erty, valued at 5000 to $4,000, would not
go on his bond to secure his release from
Jail, and also that he would pay ali.
mony to the court, IN whose contempt he
is because of not paying the alimony. He
SAID he had been a sailor and later a
trolley car conductor,
Vice-Chancellor Stevens set the case owe
for one week, In order to learn II Sommer
korn's mother will furnish a bond as
security that he will pay the alimony. The
final hearing in the case will be on Janu-
airy 8. So~mmerkorn's trial in the county

battery Is set down for December Is.
