bury on Main Stem Law
in Errors Court.
[sneoial 10 the Evenlng star.l

TRENTON. Nov. 21.-The Perkins
main stem taxing law argument in the
Court of Errors was continued today.
Former Justice Bennett Van Syckel
consumed all the morning session to-
day in arguing for the sustaining Of
the validity of the law.
The most of his argument consisted
in making answer to the contentious
raised at yesterdays argument, in
which Richard v. Iindabury attacked
the constitutionality of the law. His
argument was to the effect that the
State had a right to fix an average
tax rate to be computed by the local
or municipal rate.
He also argued that the scheme of
dividing or classifying property was
clearly within the provisions Of the
Constitution. His argument was on
lines of justification of sub-classifica-
tion of railroad property.

$206,36l DROP
IN PAYMENT
OF TAXES
Public Service Fails to Take
Advantage Of Discount
on $l35, 900.

Tax Receiver Robert L. Ross today
made statement of the amount of
money received in payment for taxes for
1907 during the discount period, which
ended yesterday. The total amount re-
ceived from October 81, when the taxes
were first received, until yesterday,
amounted to $S,15S,9 as against
So, ,455, 1859 for the like period of 1906,
a decrease of s296,361, due partly to
the failure of the Public Service Cor
poration to pay its assessments aggre-
eating approximately $135,0o0 and the
decrease in the tax rate.
Last year the rate was $1.72 per 500,
and this year it is s1.69. With the excep-
tion of the Public Service Corporation all
the large concerns have paid within the
period and saved the percentage allowed
for prompt payment. During the first
ten days that taxes are received the city
allows 1 per cent discount. Last year
there was paid In this period SSl47, ,435. .49.
and this year the first ten days netted
s., SAT, ,293.49 a decrease of $300142. From
November / until November 20 one-half
of / per cent discount is allowed, and in
that period ending yesterday the amount
received was 311.6S1.09 as against $307,-
$685. for the corresponding period of 1906,
an increase of SS,7S1.27.
From now on the bills will be payable at
their face value until December 20, when
interest will be charged. AS has been told
in the EVENING STAR, the falling or
in the payment of taxes within the dis
count period Is due to the tight money
market and the scarcity Of currency.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 2l.--Officials
and counsel of the Jersey City Water
Supply Company and the East Jersey
Water Company absented themselves
from the meeting of the Street and
Water Board yesterday afternoon to
ratify an agreement upon behalf of the
city for the repair of the steel water
pipe under the HackensaclS River and
the supplying of water during the pc
riod of repair. The Street and Water
Commissioners were indignant at their
failure to appear.
Commissioner Louis l.. Finke. who has
suspected that the water companies had
prepared to trick the city in the matter
Of an agreement. was outspoken In his
denunciation of the treatment accorded the
board by the water companies. He de-
clared that he was convinced that had the
board adopted the agreement prepared by
William d. Edwards and William H. Cor
bin, and accepted by Warren Dixon, the
private counsel to the Democratic ma
jorlty of the board, the city would have
been trapped into a position whereby it
surrendered so1ue of the rights under the
contract for the new water supply.
Mr.. sFinke asserted that he was glad that
he had been on his guard, and he compli-

BIG FIRE IS
AVERTED BY
POLICEMEN
Faraher and Holzwarth
Break Into Brady's Saloon
and Put Ont Blaze.

BY the timely discovery of fire in
the saloon of Patrick Brady, at Bank
and Wickliffe streets, at 1:40 o'clock
this morning. by Policemen Faraher
and Holzwarth, of the Fourth Precinct
station, what might have been a Sc
rious blaze was averted.
Several large old-time frame dwell
ings surround the building in which
the saloon is located, as well as a large
warehouse and several f1ve-story new
structures.
The fire was gaining rapid headway
when Faraher and Holzwarth discov-
cred it. They thought 1t was a reflec-
tion of the fire in the large pot stove
in the place, as they spied it from the
opposite side of the street But when
both ran over they saw 1t was serious
fire.
Holzwarth rushed upstairs to the liv-
ing apartments of Brady and aroused
him. Don't disturb anyone else said
Holzwarth, "for 1 believe we will be
able to extinguish the flames without
sending in aH alarm or causing any
excitement"
Brady grabbed his keys, but in the mean
time Faraher had forced in the front door
and had several buckets Of water, which
he used to put ont the fire. He also at
tached a rubber hose, which was used in
back of the bar, to faucet there and was
playing II on the flames When Brady and
Holzwarth got into the saloon they assisted
Faraher and In a short time the fire was
out. No alarm was turned In.
The damage, which was principally to the
bar and stock, was estimated at $685.

WINS
NOVEL FEE
SUIT
Can Collect on Both Trus-
tees and Executors Ac-
count, Court Holds.

In an opinion rendered by Judge Ten
Eyck in the Orphans Court, today,
the action of Surrogate George u. Rus
sell in charging fees for the auditing
of the accounting of the Mercantile
Trust Company, of New York, submit
ted as trustee of the estate of Owen
S. Carter who was a West Orange
millionaire, was sustained.
The trust company last Monday in
the Orphans Court had objected to
the payment Of the fees on the ground
that the collections made for the audit
ing of the accounting of the executors
was all that the county was entitled to
According to the decision rendered
the surrogate Is authorized to collect
a fee on the executors account and
a separate fee for reviewing the ac-
count of the trustees on the same es-
tate. The decision is of peculiar i'm
portance because it is the first time
that a surrogate's right to collect
separate fees for auditing the trustees
and executors accounts on the same es-
tate has been passed upon In this
State, and it is not likely, in view of
the circumstances of the case. that
there will be any appeal from the de-
cision so reached to the Prerogative
Court. It had been the general prac-
tise, however, to make such charges,
and for this reason the surrogate
made them.
The objection was made by Charles L.
Corbin and John j. Hoppin, representing
the Mercantile Trust Company, last Sat
urday, these lawyers contending that the
fees paid for auditing and reporting the
accounts of the executors was all that the
surrogate was entitled to on the old
balances.
In his decision the court said that the
general rule had been that such fees were
collected. and in the second place. that
the courts belief was that such practise
was the correct one.

Inactivity Of Men.

AS far as Chief of Police Corbitt Is
concerned no information will be given
out as to where the police stand in re-
gard to Sunday selling or tho alleged
inactivity of the police in regard to
the recent illegal registration. The
head of the Newark police force. whose
son, Harry, member of the First Pre-
cinct station is mentioned as not liav-
ing made arrests when armed with
warrants ON election day, refused to
make any statement concerning the
matter today.
II won't answer reporters questions"
said the chief. II believe in keeping
silent on all vice matters
Despite his reticence Chief Corbitt
is more than a little interested in the
work of Sheriff Sommer, 1t is said.
What instructions he gave the cap
tains of the several precincts on cleo
ton day is not known. He denied to-
day all statements attributed to him.
The chiefs son. Harry, with Policeman
Flrner, of the First Precinct Station. had
a warrant In their possession on election
day for the arrest of William Van Ness.
They did not serve the warrant On Sat
urday Sheriff Sommer had a consultation
with Captain Carroll, Of the detective
nureau. asking that Detective Sergeant
Ryan arrest Van Ness and others whom
the Sherlffs men had not succeeded in
arresting.
Ryan arrested Van Ness Saturday. and
he was Immediately turned over TO Sheriff
Sommer. He was released yesterday in
the custody Of his counsel. James r..

was arrested Is Illegal registration.

SEEKS REVIEW
OF BUCKLEY
CONTRACT
Aschsnbach, Unsuccessful
Garbage Bidder, Claims
Error in Award.

Former City Attorney Malcolm Mao
Lear, counsel for George Aschenbach,
one of the unsuccessful bidders for tho
city garbage disposal contract, which
was awarded to the j. l.. Buckley Com
pany, served notice on City Counsel
James r. Nugent today to the effect
that application would be made to
Chief Justice Gummere tomorrow for
a rule to show cause why a writ of
certiorari should not issue to review the
action of the Board of Works in award-
ing the contract to the ]. l.. Buckley
Company.
Neither Mr.. MacLear nor the city
counsel would state on what grounds
the sale would be asked for, but 1t is
understood that some technical error
in the contract of the successful bid-
ders will be taken advantage Of.
Mr.. Aschenbach was the second low
est bidder. The Buckley Company's
figures were S650,000 for five years.
Mr.. Nueent informed the Board OF
Works of the proposed review today and
stated that he did not see how the Chief
Justice could grant such writ, as the
whole matter rests with the Board Of
Works, which body may reject any or
all contracts or bids
All the members of the board expressed
surprise on being told that such action
was being contemplated.

SAY ONE OF HIS
EARS SAVED
HIS LIFE
Think Policeman Escaped
Broken Skull Because 1t
Wasn't a Thin One.

According to the opinion of the phy-
sicians at st. Barnabass Hospital, the
life of Policeman Theodore Ambs. of
the Fourth Precinct station. who fell
into a pit in the trolley car yard at
South Orange avenue and South Nine
teenth street, was saved by his fleshy
ear.
They claim that it was his ear which
prevented his skull from being frac-
tured. as was at first believed to be
the worst injury sustained. Later de-
velopments showed that the police
man was suffering from concussion of
the brain and not fractured skull
He had been unconscious for the
greater part of the time, but when he
became conscious early yesterday his
condition improved so satisfactorily
that he was allowed to be taken to his
home at 6S4 South Eighteenth street, in
fhp afternoon
The policemans first thought was Of his
wife. and it was the opinion that If he
waa permitted to return to his own home,
In view of the fact that his condition was
nol serious. that he would recover more
rap1dly. His left ear is almost entirely
black. and It may be some time before II
regains its natural appearance.
When the news of the Improvement in
Ambs's condition reached his associates at
the Fourth Precinct station, there was
Joy, for the injured patroman ranks as
one Of the most popular IN the Seventeenth
avenue station.

LAND OF NO BOOZE
WATCH SAFER THERE THAN
ON CHURCH STEP HERE.
Place Is Labrador, Explains Lecturer
Holding Up Humble Fishermen
as Models for Us.

That there Is not a single saloon in
Labrador; that the deep-sea fisher
men of that country observe Sunday
much better than New Workers, and
that liquor is not used for medicinal
purposes. were statements by DR.. VIII
fred r. Grenfell. founder and former
head of the Labrador missions.
DR.. Grenfell said these things last
night in the course of lecture he gave
to the mems Bible class of the North
Reformed Church. He illustrated his
lecture.
DR. Grenfell said that the deep-sea
fishermen will not cast their nets on
the Sabbath, stating that for
eign fishermen, who do not hold
Sunday so sacred, shock the natives
repeatedly by their slack observance
of the Lords day.
He praised the people of Labrador,
and said that watch left on rock
in Labrador would be far safer than
one left on the steps Of the church In
which he was speaking.
The views shown were very instruc-
tive.
