Economy Of Operation Can't
Be Considered in Plum
Point Lane Case
BARS GRADE CROSSING
Court of Chancery,D Declares Vice
Chancellor Stevens in Central
Railroad Opinion, Can Com.
pei Lines to Elevate or
Depress Tracks.
Especial to the Evening start

s. TRENTON. Oct. 25.-As announced
in the EVENING STAR yesterday
that he would, Vice-C Chancellor Stevens
an opinion by which he holds that an
injunction should issue against the
Central Railroad Company of New
Jersey, restraining that company from
laying two proposed tracks at grade
where their line crosses Plum Point
lane.
In his opinion the Vice. Chancellor
a THE test at crossing so far as
the courts are concerned, is moi econ
omy of operation, but the safety and
convenience of those who have oc-
casion to cross"
The Vice-C Chancellor says that under
the recent decision of the Chancellor
In the case of the city of Newark
against the Erie Railroad Company
there can be no doubt that the Court
of Chancery may compel railroad COM
panies whose tracks cross streets at
grade and whose charters contain pro-
visions like those of the Central Rail-
road. to elevate or depress their tracks.
Railroads whose tracks have been
laid at grade are lawful structures"
says the Vlce-Chancellor. THE Leg
is1ature has not as yet seen fit to con-
denim them. If their tracks are to be
elevated, 1t must be BECAUSE of some
popularity which makes them espe-
cially dangerous"
The opinion then goes into a descrip-
ton of how Plum Point Ian is situated
and for what purpose it is used, and
says that 1t is estimated that the cost
of a viaduct across it would be from
$1,000 to $40, 900. The other alternative
is to elevate the railroad.
"I think that the railroad should not,
under present conditions, be required
to construct a viaduct," says the Vice
Chancellor. ITO compel 1t to do this
would be to apply to 1t a much more
rule than is applied to other
railroads whose tracks cross country
highways at grade, highways that
are permanently located and much
more used by the public than this is"
In discussing the contention of the city
that building il gradually reaching to this
poInt and that the city must soon open
streets in this locality, the Vice-Chancel-
lor says: when it does 80, and when 1t
determines where, In this particular To-
cality, a street shall be laid out, quite a
different problem will be presented. 1t
was admitted by the city's expert that
the crossing at present Is not especially
dangerous"
In discussing the question as to whether
the D should be enioined from lay
ing three additional tracks across the
road. the opinion cites section 26 of the
general railroad act of 1903, also section
q of the same act.
There is no relevancy netween these

two sections says the vice-chancellor
Section 26 refers to railroads already laid
in any street. Section q to railroads tc
be laid and not to additional tracks to b'
laid"
Continuing the opinion says: Two Dc
cisions seem 10 me to be specially appli-
cable to this branch OF the subject. Aller
VS.. Jersey City, "a Vroom, page 522. and
Newark VS.. Delaware. Backawanna and
Western Railroad, IL Steward, log.
In the first it was held that the company
might, Notwithstanding the objection OF
Jersey City, lay an additional track across
one of the streets at grade. In the other,
that the D., l.. and w. r. r. Co. should
be e~nioined from laying dow four tracks
across Spring street. Newark, in addition
to five tracks already there.
As in the case OF the two companies
mentioned" says the Vice-Chancellor, ''the
charter of the Central Railroad gives the
right 10 lay tracks ut grade. if public
travel shall not be impeded thereby" Con-
tinuing, the opinion says:
What this proviso means was declared
forty years ego in the case OF Central
Railroad Company VS.. State, 3 Vroom 221, a
passage of which has often beeii quoted,
The duty prescribed is to keep at all times
and under all circumstance the public
highways at the point where they cross the
railroad in a condition fit Tor safe and con
venient use. IL safe and convenient use
win not permit Of a grade crossing then
II is Its duty to cross In some other way.
1.-THE charter OF this company and o.
other companies and the general railroad
act itself, contains an implied assertion
that grade crossings are or may be safe,
unless some popularity in the situation,
for instance, a crowded th~oroughfare. with
frequent passing trains. a multiplicity Of
tracks, makes them unsafe.
The opinion then describes the tracks
already laid and the tracks proposed TO
be laid and says. I'm view Of the situa-
ton 1t would seem that the constant use
of two more tracks Tor yard purposes H.
Volving as 1t would the passage across the
highway of a greater number OF slowly
moving freight cars, and the standing OF
them for a longer or shorter time In such
a position as to cbstruct the view Of APP
preaching trains would in the words Of the
.eompany's charter, impede the passage Of
carriages. horses and cattle over the cross
safe and convenient.
1T is said that one of the tracks is to
Re used in connection with the Bay Shore
Construction Railway, but 1t is not very
clear why the third track already used
could not be used. 1t would seem that it
could be, unless desired exclusively for
yard purposes. I think that as to these
two proposed tracks that an injunction
should issue to restrain laying them at
grade where they cross Plum Point lane.

Wilbur A. Mott in the evening, received
almost as much of an ovation when in
troduced by the chairman. He said that
his friend. Mr.. Huston. has said that he
(Colby) was good now. Yes, he went on,
II intend to be good, for this campaign
anyway" He went on to arraign the
Democratic party n its Gubernatorial
candidate
IF there is one thing hate. he de-
clared. sit is a craven and a coward, and
that is what that man is"
Senator Colby also said that while the
conditions in the Republican party were
not perfect, they were better thar they
had been for some time, and were GER
taiply better than in the opposing party,
The control by corporations, he said, had
been broken by the Republicans, a thing
which could not be said Of the Democratic
party. Along these lines he added:
If young Tumulty, or Wright, Of Essex,
or any of those clean Democrats will come
to US and say that their party is not con-
troIled by the bosses that used to have
control over the Republican party, we
will be glad to hear it, but they will not
say 1t for they know 1t is not SO.
There are two bosses always in the
House, n although they are not mem
bers Of 1t, they decree how things shall
be run.
Mr.. Fort followed the Senator. He APP
peared to be tired from his days journey
and talked but a few minutes. The SINH
larity between the planks in the plat
form of the two parties was first touched
on, and the planks briefly reviewed. The
audience applauded uproariously when he
declared himself for the maintenance OF
the Bishops bill. State aid to roads, re-
duction in school taxes, and railroad tax
alton, the other subjects taken up, were
also well received.
AS in Warren County, those In command
| Of the Republican forces here say that
victory can scarcely be hoped for in tbs
county. They do say, however, that the
Democratic majority will not run over 6O(
at most.

The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1907-08-17
THE LEADERS, BOYCOTT.

The JACKSON Daily News has
the following reference to the
boycott of The Leader, by four
Williams business firms of Brook
haven who withdrew their adver-
tisements because of The Leader s
strong support of Governor Var
daman. AS the Daily News was
the most radical and extreme of
all of Mr.. Williams newspaper
champions in this State, its COM
ment on the action of the Brook
haven merchants referred to and
boycotting in general is of special
interest. 1t says:
The Daily News hopes that the
boycott of our esteemed contem-
porary for its support of Cover
nor Vardaman will not amount
to much. The Leader certainly
Lad right to support the COVER
nor if it saw fit and this paper
does not think any the less of it.
The gentlemen who are thinking
about boycotting the Leader have
not given the matter due and
proper thought. 1t is seldom
that a boycott ever hurts news
paper. People may be bitter
partisans, but they will always
recognize the right of another to
do his own thinking and to act ac-
cording to the dictates of his
conscience. The fact that the
Leader was an ardent supporter
of the governor should not cause
it to lose the patronage of single
man who did not agree with it,.
To institute boycott only means
that the bitterness of the cam
paign is to be kept up, when all
should be peace and harmony.
We cannot all think alike and
therefore we do not all act alike.
The espousal of the cause of Gov
ernor Vardaman by the Leader
was open and above board and
showed that its editor had the
courage of his convictions. This
is something to be admired in ev-
cry man who is at the head of a
newspaper. The Daily News is
inclined to believe that the Brook
haven boycott will not last long.

A Noel Campaign Appeal.

The Herald publishes today an
! address issued by the Noel cam
paign committee, Robert Lowry,
chairman, to the voters. 1t is a
plain simple statement that will
impress the plain people. There
is something in his record more
than going barefooted when a
boy, and the development of a
talent for defamation. 1t will
he seen that he effectualIy meets
the loose and deceptive challenge
of his honorable opponent" de-
livered at Meridian as follows:
He siad that if Mr.. Noel took
up for the railroad he (NoeD
knew he would defeat him. This
remark brought forth applause.
He (NoeD will not say he stands
for the Southern and Mobile &
Ohio merger, for if he does | will
de feat him. He said that Mr..
Noel was afraid of the issues and
would not meet him on the impor-
tant issues before the people.
How little there was in this rant
is shown in the leadership of the
Noel followers at Meridian by
Senator G.. G. Dunn, who led the
fight against the bill ratifying the
said merger. When the question
was an issue District Attorney
Brewer gave it no thought. But
Senator Noel, with no call upon
him in the matter, interested
himself to offer assistance to the
Aberdeen group" which was
leading the resistance. The fact
is there is no man in the state of
whom corporations are less scar
ed than the barefoot boy" In
proof of the fact is cited that
among his leading supporters are
the Hon. Robert Powell, state
attorney for the extortionate
Cumberland Telephone Company;
the Hon. Monroe MoCIurg, of
Greenwood, distinguished rail
road attorney; the Hons. r. L.
McLaurin and Amos Armlstead,
attorneys for two of the greed
lest, most tyranieal and grasping
corporations in this Or any other
state the Vicksburg Gas and the
Vicksburg Water Companies; the
Hon. w. j. Vollar, an attorney
for the Valley railroad. Other
and more prominent attorneys
for railroads could be named, who
are reported to have shifted to
Brewer in the recent new align
ment.
These gentlemen are named
simply to show that the corpora
tions, not even the American
Book Company, are not afraid of
Brewer. That is one illusion the
campaign should be stripped Of.
As Mr.. Noel stated in his Meri-
dian speech THAT, although Mr..
Brewer, his opponent, had, as dis
trict attorney, bad the opportu-
nifty to do something in the way
OF bringing the railroad corpora
tions to justice in the way of
charging exorbitant tariffs and
too high fares, he had done moth
ing, but confined his activities in
that line TO political speeches. Y
