TRUSTEES
SAID TO BE

Counsel Says Trustees Are

PATENTS VALUE AT STAKE
Litigation Over Atlantic Rubber
Shoe Company :. Accusation
That Trust Is Trying to

as Possible.
PATENTS VALUE AT STAKE

Argument was heard today by Vice
Howell in the matter of the
application made by the directors of
the Atlantic Rubber Shoe Company,
now in the process of dissolution, to
be continued as trustees for all the
creditors and stockholders in the final
distribution of $135.0O0 in cash now on
deposit with the Industrial National
Bank Of Rhode Island. Sherrerd Depue,
of Lindabury, Depue 6 Faulks, ap-
peared for the directors, and Charles
d. Thompson, of Jersey City, and
Charles T.. Rushmore, of New York,
appeared for John r. Hegeman, the
complainant in the proceedings against
the lnsolvent corporation. Mr.. Rush
more made a strong plea to have re-
celvers appointed in the place of the
director-trustees. The court reserved
decision.
In his argument MIR. Rushmore declared
that all the directors OF the Atlantic Rub
ber Shoe Company were dummies for the
United States Rubber Company, otherwise,
he said, known as the rubber trust lie
said the court could not in equity continue
these men in Office as trustees because
the assets, besides the actual cost Of $l35,
coo, comprised the group Of patents known
as the ''Dougherty vucanizing patents,
which, he declared, are very valuable and
which the United States Company is en-
deavoring TO secure without regard to the
rights OF the minority stockholders.
Mr. Depuc, for the directors, said the
extreme value placed upon the patents
was mere hypothesis. The affidavits and
taken in the suit, he said,
showed that the process had been fairly
tried and found to be failure. The value
of the patents, Mr.. Deple claimed, was
fixed by Mr. Hegeman himself last sum
met at Si50,000.
The Atlantic company was organized in
1901 to manufacture rubbers under the
Dougherty process. A factory was pur-
chased at cost of S325,O0O in Cranston,
r l., but after a couple Of years the
plant was closed down.
EARLY last year the Meyer Rubber Com
pany, subsidiary corporation Of the
United States Rubber Company, purchased
% per cent. of the Atlantic Company for
$267 900. The plant at Cranston was sold
for s9l 600 and dismautled.
The complainant AYERS in the bill filed
In the suit that the Dougherty patents are
basic in character, and that the principle
on which they arc based is bound to be
as it makes possible the vulcani-
zation OF rubber shoes in three minutes,
while the older processes require six to
seven hours.

HEAVY BLOW

Editor Harden'S Acquittal
Encourages Enemies Of
German Emperor.
GROUND TABLE" SCANDAL
Socialist Newspapers Using II as
a Text for the justification of
DenunciatiOn of Conditions
in Government Circles at
Home and Abroad.
''ROUND TABLE" SCANDAL

BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Maximilian Har-
den, editor of Die zulSunft. was ac-
quilted today in the suit brought
against him by General Count Kuno
Won Moltke. formerly military governor
of Berlin, for defamation of character.
In addition, General Won Moltke was
condemned to bear the costs of the
trial.
The trial, which began October 2S,
attracted the greatest interest through
out Germany. Counsel for Harden
charged that the court clique, of which
Won Moltke was member, was guilty
of infamous practises, and also had
sought to exercise undue influence over
Emperor William.
Prince Philip zu Eulenburg, ex-Ger-
man ambassador to Vienna, and Lieu
tenant General William Won Hohenau,
one of the, Emperor's adjutants, were
mentioned by Harden as being MEM
bers of the clique referred to as
Round Table" and an army officer
who had served in the guard corps at
Potsdam testified to having taken part
in orgies at the house of Major Count
Lynar which had resulted in the dis
missal from the service in disgrace of
the Count and Lieutenant General Won
Hohenau.
Won Moltke denied that such a clique
as the Round Table could exist, and
also denied the other charges brought
against him. Harden declined to with
draw anything he had written on the
subject, but said he did not accuse Won
Moltke of crime
Justice Kern, the presiding judge, to-
day made the verdict as easy for Won
Moltke as was consistent with the con-
elusions arrived at He said Harden
was justified in what he had written,
but that there was no evidence that
Won Moltke had at any time acted upon
abnormal inclinations, or that he knew
what took place at Major Count Lynars
villa, or of Lieutenant General Hohe-
nau's behavior.
Harden, when the verdict was an
nounced, was cheered by the spectators
present in court and by the large crowd
of people waiting in the rain outside.
Won Moltke heard the verdict with inn
passiveness.
The trial Is already having consider
able political effect. One hundred and
forty Socialist daily newspapers are at
tacking the monarchic principle with
studied fury. mocking, sneering saw
agely, and assaiing the exotic condi-
tions, which have been described as
"hourishing in the hothouse atmos-
phere of the court" where the sover-
eign is surrounded, the Socialists claim,
with companions and councillors the
corruption of whose private lives taints
their judgment on home and foreign
questions.
The newspapers. regardless of party
affiliations, printed full accounts of the
proceedings. and some of the infuen-
tial Liberal papers, like the Frank
furter Zeitung, affirm that it is evident
that in the Moroccan controversy with
France, Germany followed two poll
cies, that of the Foreign Office and that
of the sovereign. the latter being at
tributed to Prince Zu Eulenburg's in
huence working independently of his
ma1esty's constitutional advisers.

That's Her StOry--Says
She's Afraid to Marry

Michael Defeis! of 145 Verona avenue,
doesn't want his stepmother to marry
again. He was so set against another
trip for his stepmother on the sea. of
matrimony that he talked guns, knives
and other things if she dared leave
their home and marry the man of her
choice.
} This morning Defeis was before Judge
Howell In the First Criminal Court on
the complaint of his stepmother, An
tonia Defeis, who says that she is afraid
to get married, as Michael threatens to
take her life. She married Defeis's
father several years ago and he left her
considerable money when he died, so
the son asserts. He does not want his
fathers money to go into other hands,
Judge Howell warned the man not
to attempt any violence and allowed
him to go free. Defeis looked deter
mined as he left the court, and the
chances are that more than likely he
win be arrested again and be Obliged

FORT TO MAKE
REPLY TO c. A.
BLOOMFIELD?
Going to Perth AmbOy To-
night to Make Bridge"
SpeecIl--TOuring Union.
[From a stan Correspondent

PLAINFIELD, Oct. est was
learned here this afternoon, where
Judge Fort and his party dined,
that the candidate expects to take a
whirlwind trip to Perth Amboy to-
night to make special speech.
The candidate refuses to say anything
about the intended visit, but it is ru-
mored that he is going to Perth Amboy
for the purpose of refuting the state
ment of Charles A. Bloomfield, of Me-
tuchen, concerning the nominees failure
to take action against Middlesex Off
cials who were connected with a bridge
contract scandal there some years ago.
When Mr. Fort returned from Europe
early in the fall he refused to reply
either to the charges of Mr. Bloomfield
or Alden Freeman, and members of
his party are Of the opinion that he
will reply to the former tonight. He
has already spoken in Perth Ampoy,
so that his intended visit there this
evening has not been scheduled and
indicates that it is made for some inn
portant purpose.
The candidate is touring Union Coun-
ty today, and is accompanied by the
largest array of followers which has
Joined him during his campaign. Twelve
automobiles are required to escort the
tourists throughout the county.
The judge arrived at Elizabeth about
. O'clock this morning. He was met
by Senator Kean, who shook hands
with him, but did not accompany him
on his tour. He. proceeded Immediately
to Lyons Farms, Union, Springfield,
Mountainside, Summit, New Provi-
dence, Berkeley Heights, Scotch Plains
and Westfield.
At all these places he was well re-
ceived, although the weather inter-
fered somewhat with the attendance.
Progress along the county roads was
slow owing to the heavy rains.
When the candidate took up the eX-
else question in Summit he reiterated
his stand on that issue, and the crowd
gave him a big ovation. The applause
was unstinted and prolonged.
A large number OF the leaders were
awaiting nhe candidate in this city
when he took luncheon. This after
noon the party is touring the suburban
towns and will stop at Garwood, Gram
ford, Kenilworth and Roselle.
Tonight Mr. Fort will speak at mass
meetings in Elizabeth and Railway.
Whether the trip to Perth Amboy will
be made before he speaks in these two
places is not known.
All the prominent county officials are
accompanying him. Inclnded in the
party are the following: State Senator
Ernest r. Alderman, County Chairman
Frank II. Smith, Judge William New
corn, Surrogate George T. Parrot, As
sembly1nan John r. Moxon, Assembly
Candidate Carlton Pierce, County Col
lector Nathan r. Leavitt, County Clerk

retary to Senator Kean; Director of the
Board of Freeholders Benjamin King
and Postmaster Palmer II. Charlock

NrwARK,s aREAr WAREHOUSE.

The Newark Warehouse Company
did a commendable thing il making
the opening of it's great warehouse in
Newark a public event attended by
pleasant social formalities, and the
Mayor and other city officers showed
a correct spirit in participating in the
opening. The new structure, which
does high credit to the company, is to
benefit both the company and the city,
and it's completion is a matter for
mutual congratulation.
1t would be well, indeed, if this kind
of spirit could always characterize the
relations of the public and the rail-
road companies; better for the rail-
roads as well as for h public. The bush
ness interests of our city, which were
so well represented in last nights large
gathering, have every reason to help
railroad enterprise and to rejoice in it
when it exhibits such results as the
building of the Newark Warehouse
Company, which has been established
to promote their convenience.

BOOSTING ASSESSED VALUATIONS.

Jersey City's valuations are TO be in
creased this year from $16S, 000, 900 to
$3.50, 900, 900. When the assessment was
made last year the municipal officers
Instructed the assessors, notwithstand-
ing the State law, to assess individual
property at a percentage. Accordingly
the property was assessed at an aver
age of about 20 per cent. The rail-
roads, whose total assessment on Sec
ond class property was increased from
$23, 000, 900 to $40, 900, 900, protested that
they we're excessively assessed and that
they a been ~unjustly Disseminated
against by the assessors.
1t was stoutly denied by the Jersey
City authorities that individual prop
erty had been assessed at less than
the legal rate. but in the litigation
between the railroads and the city that
followed it was shown that while the
railroads had not been overassessed
the rate of assessment on individual
property had not been above 70 per
cent. The Jersey City assessors are
complying with the law this year, and
hence the increase of s62, O0o. 900 in the
total assessment of the city. OF this
increase, about $4,000, 900 is represented
by railroad property which will now be
assessed at approximately $50, 600, 900.
To the uninstructed citizen this jack
ing-up of the valuations implies in
crease of taxes, when in point Of fact
mhe effect must rather be to decrease the
Hax bills. 1t is six of one and half a
dozen of the other If there are high

NO LEASE on CITY. pRoPERTY.

There will be no lease of the city's
wells and pumping plant at Belleville
to a private water company. City
Counsel Nugent's legal opinion to the
Board of Works yesterday practically
settles that. The power to lease does
not reside in the Board of Works, but
in the Common Council, and no city
property car be disposed of, under the
law, by lease or sale unless it is use
less for public purposes or except by
a vote of the people at a special cleo
ton.
Now, the city property at BeIleville
is not obsolete and useless for public
purposes. Il may have to be resorted
to to supplement the city's water sup
ply at any time. The water in the
B~elleville wells is a supply held in re-
serve. and the machinery at Belleville
is necessary for pumping the water.
Newark's present supply from the
P~equannock is limited, and 1t won't
be long before the limit will be reached.
BY the new law we will have to buy
water in excess of our present con-
sumption, and it would be idiotic to
buy, say, ten million gallons daily after
having parted with that quantity at
a much lower price.
But the value of the Belleville wells
is the reserve supply for an emergency.
The city realized the peril of an emer-
gency in its water service a few years
ago, when anchor ice cut off the
~Pequannock supply, and the Board of
Works set the pumps at Belleville
working to pump river water n the
mains. There are other causes to cut
off a city's water supply, and it is a
criminally foolish municipality that,
possessing a reserve supply for such
an emergency disposes of 1t to a pri-
vate company for commercial purposes.

THE RIVER NUISANCE AGAIN.

There has been a dearth of rail in the
Passaic watershed and as a result the
volume of water in the river is shrink
ing. If there shall be a continued drouth
for any length of time the river condi-
lions will become unpleasantly manifest
to the o~lfactories. No water is going
over the dam at Paterson, and, as the
sewage filth of that town is all dis
charged into the river fronting the city,
the nuisance will become unbearable t
Patersonians if heavy rains do not re-
plenish the watershed.
Nothing has been lone by the District
Sewerage Commission as yet in fur
therance of the plans for a trunk sewer.
The commission is waiting for a certain
number of municipalities to contribute
to the initial expenses before entering
upon the work. Perhaps a long drouth
and the consequent great nuisance will
pnpel the municipalities to act. But
this procrastination and delay in an en-
terprise projected eleven years ago and
under constant discussion ever since is
shameful.

JAPAN IN KOREA.

Japanese operations in Korea at the
present time have an interest for Amer
leans in view of the recent war talk,
and events in Korea are watched to see
how far the Japanese Government will
be embarrassed in carrying out its pur-
pose of annexation of a nation of 20,-
900. 900 people. The hermit kingdom had
long been a kingdom only in name and
has been in fact under the suzerainty
of China, up to 1894, when the outbreak
of the war between Japan and China
made Korea the theatre of the first en-
counters by land and sea, and won from
Japan the promise of independence,
confirmed in the treaty of Shimonoseki.
Now his short-Aved nationality is fall
ing, never again, in all probability, to
be resumed. But before the japanese
authority is established in Korea there
will be a struggle. The effort to hold
Cuba bankrupted Spain and. cost her
many thousands of soldiers, and the
population of Cuba is small compared
with Korea. If the Koreans prove as
obstinate as the Cubans in their re-
sistance japan will need all her military
and financial resources to maintain her.

ordinarily. the amount of tax paid is
the same. On the other hand, valua-
tons at full value prevent discrimina-
ton. When all property pays full
vlaue no property can escape its just
share of tax. and consequently the
addition Of property not formerly
assessed tends to make the rate lower.
The Newark assessors last year fairly
complied with the law, as they are
doing this year. and thereby the city
escaped trouble and litigation.
