JUDGES HANDS

Money Received From Auto
Fines Does Not Stop
With Him.

Many Newark autoists have been
discussing how the fines imposed
upon violators of the speed law are
disposed OF, and where the money
goes.
Many cases-pTobably more than in
any other police court in the city
are tried In the Second Precinct Police
Court. before Judge Herr. Only this
morning eight such cases were up be-
fore him for trial.
When asked by an EVENING STAR
reporter this morning what disposition
was made of the fines imposed on auto
lists who were found guilty of viola
tions, he said that all moneys from
fines are turned over to the clerk of
the court and by him transferred to
the City Comptroller.
What disposition was made of the
money by this last officer he had no
knowledge.
This has been the first month that
we have received fines for auto VIOLA
tions of the law, said the judge. AT
the end of the month the clerk of the
court viii send all moneys received in
the court to the Comptroller, with a
note appended stating which moneys
have accrued from auto violation fines,
and from criminal cases."
The Judge does not handle one cent
OF the money received from fines.

Trust Company Of America

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Developments
in the financial situation during the day
We're more favorable than had been
expected. Under the confidence estab-
lished by the result of last nights con-
ference and Secretary Cortelyou's en-
couraglng statement. the stock market
opened strong.
The Trust Company of America
opened its doors for business at the
usual hour. A short time before that
Oal1leigh Thorne, president of the In
stitution, announced to the waiting
depositors that the institution was en-
tirely solvent and prepared to meet
all claims. Mr. Thorne said he was
confident that the institution had seen
the worst of It's difficulties yesterday,
and he apprehended no further trouble.
The suspension of payment by three
relatively small banking institutions,
situated in the outlying Harlem dis
trict, were without any effect whatever
on the general financial situation
downtown.

James Stillman. president Of the Ma

that the situation was satisfactory.
The sub-treasury received $10,000,000
in cash from Washington this morning,
consisting Of bills OF all denominations,
largely lower denominations, in order
to meet the demand for small bills.
This permitted Secretary Cortelyou to
deny reports that the supply of small

BUDD STILL
INFIGHT FOR
FREEHOLDER
Begins MandamuS Proceed
ings Against County
Clerk Horton.

Chandler w Riker, representing Ira
Budd, the Republican of the Sixth
Ward, who made the fight for the va
cancy in the Board of Freeholders
caused by the death>of Robert H. Har-
per, today files papers in mandamus
proceedings on City Attorney Francis
Child, jr, and County Counsel Elvin
w. Crane to compel County Clerk Hor-
ton to leave blank the ballots for the
freehodership from the Sixth and
Eleventh wards.
County Clerk Horton claims that he
received no official notification of a
vacancy existing in the Board of Free
holders, and will not issue ballots, as
the position is now held by John j.
Gaynor, the Democrat chosen to fill
the vacancy by Common Council some
time ago under the election laws Of
1906, which provide that when a
vacancy occurs forty-fve days before
general election the Common Goun-
Gil shall have the power to fill the
vacancy until the following general
election.
1t is on these grounds that Mr.. Riker
claims that there will be vacancy exist
ing in the board after November. If a
ticket is NOT put in the field, but the coun-
ty clerk contends that as he has no Off
cial knowledge of a vacancy existing he
can take no action in the matter.
1t is understood that 1t will be contended
that City Clerk James r. Connolly should
have notified the county clerk of the va
cancy. but this Mr. Connolly denies, claim
ing that it is the duty of the Board OF
Freeholdcrs to notify the county clerk, aud
that he had been advised of this by City
Counsel james r. Nugent
The law provides that it shall be the
duty of city clerk TO furnish the county
clerk before a general election with a
statement desigustin in bis borough, town
or city the number of candidates for office.
This does not refer to county affairs, the
City Clerk pointed out,f and relieves him
OF the responsibility of notifying the
County Clerk.
F'reeholder Harper died on September H.
and Common Council appointed John j.
Gaynor to hll the vacancy, and IL the con-
tention of the County Clerk is upheld by
the courts he will continue to hold Office.

Company requesting them to fulfill their

wheel of the cars to prevent persons being
ground to pieces in case they went under
the vehicle platform.
a taroy answer was received today from
r. G. Danforth, general manager of the
company, in which he states briefly that
