LAWYER N HAU
DR.. DIETZ PUBLISHES JUSTI-
FICATI0N FOR HIS COURSE.
Says Convicted Murderer's Wife Told
Him She Intended to Commit Suicide
Because of Husbands Actions,

KARLSRUHE, Germany, Aug. "a
The case of Professor Karl Hau, for
merly of Washington, d. c., convicted
of the murder of his mother-in-law,
Frau Molitor, at Baden-Baden, No
vember 5 last, continues to develop
surprising features. DR.. Dietz, oounse
for the prisoner, has just published a
pamphlet giving what he terms his
moral justification for appealing the
case.
The lawyers representations make
the suicide of Frau Hau, wife of the
condemned man, appear in a new light.
DIR. Dietz says he had four hours talk
with her on May 10, when she first
made known to him her intention to
commit suicide.
Answering his argument hat it
would create the impression that she
regarded her husband as guilty of MUIR
dering her mother, Frau Hau said re-
peatedly that the motive which
prompted her to take her life
was that her husband was in his right
mind, and that without her knowledge
he went to London and Baden-Baden
to meet herS sister Olga, adding that
it was not the question whether he
was a murderer, but mis- unfaithfulness
to her, which compelled her to commit
suicide, which she also considered it
his duty to do.
Frau Hau added that she had at
various times prayed to God to induce
Hau to commit suicide with her.

DR.. Joseph M. Froehlich attended the de-

a surprise, as he was about yesterday.
For a mar of his age he was very active,
and 1t was only three years ago that he
retired from the shoe business, which he
conducted for thirty-two years.
Mr.. Koerber was born in Hessen, Ger

olution he came to this country, three years
later, in company with the Rev. DIR. Her
man Lehlbach and DR.. Fredline. both
prominent Germans. who died some years
ago. When recent arrivals came here
from Germany and were in doubt as to
what took place back in the forties they
consulted Mr.. Koerber, who considered 1t
Il pleasure to discuss old time topics with
the young folks.
The Koerbers settled on the Hill section

BLAMES OPERATOR
FOUL RIFT WRECK INQUIRY
AT AN END. \
Coroners Jury Recommends That No
Action Be Taken Against Signal Man,
as Road Was Partially to Blame.

BELVIDERE, Aug. 4.-The coron-
er's jury that investigated the wreck
on the Pennsylvania Railroad at Foul
Rift last week rendered a verdict early
today IN which it holds Walter Har-
court, the telegraph operator at Belvi-
dere junction, responsible for the ac-
cident which resulted in the death of
John Carl. of Stroudsburg, an engineer,
but recommends that no further ac-
ton be taken against him because the
railroad company was partly respon-
sible with him for not having sent
orders according to the rules as laid
down in their book of Instructions.
Harcourt was filling the place of the
regular operator at Belvidere Junction,
the meeting point of the Pennsylvania
and Lehigh and Hudson roads on the
day of the accident. An order was sent
to Harcourt to hold the Pennsylvania
regular local freight coming south un-
til a special Hudson freight going
north from Phillipsburg over h Penn
sylvania tracks had passed that point.
| Harcourt frankly admitted that he had
received the order, and as frankly de-
clared he had forgotten to hold the
train. Five minutes after the local
passed the tower there was a collision.
and the Hudson engineer was killed
and several of the trainmen were in
jured.
At the inquest counsel for Harcourt
argued that the company had violated
its own rules in not having sen the
hold-up order to the station beyond
the point the trains were to have
passed. A book of rules was produced
and that clause was read. The point
had great weight with the jury, which
deliberated for nearly twelve hours.

FIREWORKS EXPLODE
SIX PERSONS SERIOUSLY
INJURED AT MADISON.
Others More Slightly Hurt-Combusti-

MADISON, Aug. 4.-Thirteen persons
were injured. six of them seriously,
here last night at 9:45 o'clock, when
the home and fireworks factory of SAL
vatore Monde, an Italian, was wrecked
by an explosion. The seriously hurt
are:
John Monde. 3 years old, fatally.

- Monde, infant; seriously.
Josephine Monde. 30 years old, leg
blown off.
John Rillo, AZ years old; both eyes
blown out and badly burned.
Maceo Riiio' Ill years old, badly
crushed.
Others were burned, cut and bruised,
but only these were so badly injured
they had to be sent to hospitals. They
were carried to the Memorial and All

The accident was due to storing ex-
plosives in the house. Monde's BUSH

making extra efforts to provide for a
celebration to be held by their country
men in Newark in September, and had
about $3.50 worth of completed and I'M
PtCAaANs u VI till6 was
stored in the kitchen, where two of he
children were sleeping. and where the
fierce of the blast was felt.
The house is located on the Green
Village road, about a half mile south
of the centre of the town. All the oc-
cupants had retired and were sleeping
when it happened. The explosion shook
the entire town. and all persons who
were awake at the time hurried TO the
scene.
The fire department was there In a
few minutes. and gave first relief to the
injured after rescuing them from the
flames.
1t Is believed that a vagrant spark
from the kitchen range caused the dis
aster. but this is not positive. The
house was badly damaged. some of the
lower rooms being blown out entirely.
The fire did not cause much loss.

KISS THAT MISSED
IT'S STILL CAUSING TROU-
BILE IN RlDGEFIELD PARK.
Count" Schaefer, Who Tried to Kiss
Mrs. Stern, Is Arrested After He
Caused Mr.. stern's Arrest.

RIDGEFIELD PARK, Aug. 24.-The
echo of a kiss that failed to land is
still ringing through Ridgeheld Park.
The latest development came yester-
day, when Alfred Schaefer, known in
the park as 1.-The Count" and said
really to possess that title, was arrest
ed on complaint of Mrs. Benjamin B.
Stern, wife of a buyer for a New York
dry goods house, and held in $500 bail
for trial on a charge of assault.
The kiss that missed came from the
lips of 1.-THE Count on the night Of
June 20. On that night his wife left
for Kansas City, not because Of the
kiss, but to visit relatives. THE Count"
espied Mrs. Stern on the porch of her
home. She was talking to the Misses
Mamie and Anna Adams, neighbors,
and her husband had gone to the car
line, near, to see some friends off.
"Corkin' pretty woman there, fellers;
watch me kiss her!" Mrs. Stern says
Schaefer old his friends.
The Misses Adams fled into the house
and Schaefer entered the yard and APP
preached Mrs. Stern. Mrs. Stern indig-
nantly ordered Schaefer to depart, but
she says he tried to kiss her. She
lodged and says the kiss missed by
several inches.
When Mrs. Stern's husband came
home she told him what had occurred.
Stern went to Schaefer's house and
called him outside. THE Count at
tempted to explain, but says Stern in
terrupted him with a few well-delivered
right and left jabs, several uppercuts.
a solar plexus or two and a Anal right
hook.
Schaefer showed no Ill effects of the
t%hrashing until ten days ago, when 1.-THE
Countess returned from Kansas City.
Then he took to his bed. and he has
been there most of the time since. He
declares that he was seriously injured
by Stern. On Wednesday night he left
his bed long enough to make journey
to Hackensack, where he obtained from
Justice Cummings a warrant for Stern's
Justice Cummings held Stern
in $500 ball for trial.

BASEBALL RIVALRY
BETWEEN THE SQUADS.
Fessler'S Blood's Up and He Names Team
Made Up of Many Nations and
Says "Beware1"


When Police aptCain Oscar Vogel, Of
the Fourth Precinct station, resumes
his duties tomorrow, after enjoying a
vacation Of two weeks, he will have to
pitch in and act as arbitrator between
A and c police squads. The members
of 10Th squads invested a quarter each
Thursday to witness the baseball game
between Newark n Trenton mines,
and they sat together.
"They can't play a little Bit" said
Billy Harrenberg, of C squad, when
the cops from the capital city crossed
the plate eight times In the first two
innings.
1.-THE only team that knows a thing or
two about the game is our bunch
commented Charley Fessler, of A squad.
"Ah, quit your kiddin'. Carl" replied
Harrenberg, you know we got 1t on
anything you can get together"
"Well, put up or shut up came from
Fessler.
For the time being the debate ended,
but it was renewed when the AS and
C's arrived at the station, and ever
since, when they happen to come in
contact in the assembly room, there is
trouble. Acting Sergeant Charles Nc
Govern was called in last night to ad-
wise that all further arguments be post
poned until the captain returns. Both
agreed. but today aFessler visited the

A generation ago, when the fight was
on between the STANDARD Oil Company
and the independents. attempts were
made to have the small well owners
combine to fight the big trust, but the
troubles which affected the oil well
owner in other places did not extend
to this territory inasmuch as the
Standard always accepted deliveries
promptly and paid the highest rate
for the product of the wells.
There are sixteen separate properties
in the holdings Of the American Com
pany and on these 10000 acres the COM
pany now has sixteen and a half miles
of pipes. With little expense the COM
pany will connect the whole system, so
that deliveries may be made from all
the wells into one central delivery tank.
Since the organization of the COM
pany in this city on August Is P. r.
Rodmer, member of Parliament at OF
tawa, has been elected a director and
will take part in the company's delib-
erations at its next monthly meeting.
The oil sand in the Parkersburg dis
trict is found at low levels, known to
oil we'll drillers as "artesian" depths.
The Berea sand containing the oil lies
III a 9Nia1a ooAA6 8a6ht LRNA A.
The belt containing the oil sand ex-
tends in a southwest direction parallel
to the Appalachian Chain from the
northern boundary of West Virginia
to Texas.
All the oil in the Parkersburg dis
trict is pumped by machinery, the
operators utilizing the derrick used for
drilling for the pumping operation.
The oil has a definite tidal movement,
the height of the flow varying in forty
years but a few moments from 1890
o'clock at night. The pumping opera
tons in the entire region begin at that
hour and continue for ten hours. when
the ebb tide carries the oil too low for
the primitive pumps to lift it. The
cost Of operation is trining. the main
charges being the salary of an en-
gineer and his assistant. The natural
gas coming from the wells supplies
the fuel.

NEWARKERS NOW own OIL WELL THATEFAMOUS AS PRODUCER

Local stockholders of the American
Oil and Gas Company, organized by a
small syndicate of Newarkers a few
weeks ago, ave occasion to congratu-
late themselves upon their a~lertness
in taking early advantage of the pos
sibility of forming an Independent oil
producing corporation Immediately
after the big 500, 600, 900 fine was inn
posed upon the Standard Oil Company
by United States Judge Lands. The
local company now owns 10000 acres
of oi%l-producing land, and in the ter
ritory contiguous to its wells have Sc
cured options on from $4,000 to is, 900
additional acres. The company is to-
day in acreage and production the Sec
ond largest Independent oil company
in the United States. and will be the
largest Independent oil concern In the
world when the $4,000 acres now held
by options have been secured. The
American OIL and Gas Company is not
a speculation. It's stock Is closely held
n not for sale either by brokers or
on commission.
Even the officers of the company,
Edward M. Grover, of 764 Broad street.;
c. Bradley Kirkpatrick, of the Pruden-
tial building, and Henry c. Frying, the
lawyer, had no conception of the sue
cess that would attend their efforts to
secure the property now owned by the
company. Much of this success is due
to the energy and enthusiasm of ]. K.
Baillie, formerly of this city. but now
of 1 Wall street, New York city, and of
C. A. Sarber. a w~ell-known oil pros
pector and engineer, formerly with the
Standard Oil Company. These two
men, with a delegation of the local
stockholders, formed themselves into a
band of spellbinders inc visited the
West Virginia Businesses and by ex-
plotting the big fine imposed upon the
Standard Oil persuaded the innumera-

sell their holdings to the American
