4 PSYCHOLOGICAL RIDDLE

Psychologists are now trying 20 ac-
eount for tho career Of Orchard. Is
this fiendish crmipality due to hercdity
and environment? And what is the Sc
cret of his confession? Is 1t that he has
been really "converted?"
That the criminal exploits Of Orchard
are difficult to duplicate in all the an
mails of crime cannot be disputed By
his own testimony he has confessed
that as one ~ tho mob that wrecked

would be an Indictment OF our civil

We have heard reliable persons say
that Orchard. notwithstanding his APP

as he was cut of from the influence OF

100000 DAMAGE SUIT.
Newark Man Sued for Alleged Aliena-
ton Of Affections

Special Dispatch to The Star ..-
ASBURY PARK, N. j.. April 16-William
w. Trimpi of East Orange the well-known
manufacturer of Newark. has been sued for
100000 damages by Mrs. Howard Trimpi
formerly Miss Eleanor Mayo of Bradley
Beach, daughter of Mr.. end Mrs. Robert
Mayo, and who married Mr.. Trimpi's son,
after a summer courtship. The suit is for
alienation of affections
The Trimpis, four years ago, were cot
tage residents at bradley Beach. Miss
Eleanor and her parents lived opposite in
pretty Mtle cottage. The two young people
became acquainted and were constantly to-
gether. Howard was later sent to boarding
school, from which he sent glowing love
letters to the young rirl, whom he after
ward married before Newark justice of
the peace. In this case the course of true
love failed to run smooth. Towards ardor
cooled visibly with the passage Of time.
and the romance of his boyhood days was
finally exposed in a suit brought by Mr..
Trimpi senior to annul the marriage. The
case was tried before Vice Chancellor EN-
cry, who held, after hearing much sensa-
tional testimony, that the marriage was
legal.
The present action, instituted by James
D. Carton, counsel for the young wife, will
be heard at the September term of the Es-
sex court. The Trimpis have been south
during the winter, but have now returned
to East Orange, where papers in the $780,
90 suit were served upon them.

PIERS WILL NOT BE READY.
Water Approach to jamestown Ex-
position Grounds.

According to Capt. Spencer COSBY, the en-
gineer officer in charge of the work, the
water approach to the jamestown expose
ton grounds, for which Congress appro-
priated $4G5, coo, will not be finished by May
next as provided by the contract with
the Scofeld Company of Philadelphia. The
approved project calls for the construction
of two piers extending from the exposition
grounds into the waters of Hampton roads,
sufficiently high to permit small craft to
pass under it into basin or harbor about
twelve feet deep; and also the dredging of
Il channel twelve feet deep and about 200
feet wide from deep water in Hampton
roads to the piers. Congress appropriated
100000 fer the piers and S6o,0G3 for dredS-
ing the channel, but allowed only about
six months time for completing the work
before the date set for opening the EXPOSE
ton.
Notwithstanding the fact that the piers
will not be finished by May ., Capt. Cosby
says that an effort is being made to do the
most essential part of the work first, in
order that the piers and basin may be
used at the earliest practicable date. These
piers are almost directly opposite Fort
Monroe and are designed to be the prin-
cipal entrance to the exposition grounds
from Hampton roads.
Capt. Cosby has also reported to the
War Department that work on the pro-
posed pier at jamestown Island, for which

OPPOSED TO LEGISLATION.
Criticism of Railroads Said to Have
Brought About Present Conditions.

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-The board of
trade of Philadelphia has placed itself on
record as opposed to legislation nimical to
railroads. The board at it's meeting yes
terday unanimously adopted a report to this
effect presented by the committee on inland
transportation. The report, in part, says:
TT is to be regretted that the criticism
of railroads and the large amount Of sug
gested and enacted legislation much of 1t
hostile, should have produced the alarm
among investors which is seriously curtail-
lutely necessary improvements. At no time
in the history of the country has there
been such requirement for an immediate
and large increase of our transportation
facilities. This is emphasized by the wide
spread demand of merchants and shippers
for relief from the freight congestion, Grip
ping the industries of all sections.
while the questionable financial methods
of some railroad managers have invoked
merited criticism, yet there is justifica-
ton for continuing policy prompting an
tagonism merely for retaliation, either by
the government or the people, the uni
versal railway system of the country must
now be regarded as the great public car
rier and absolutely necessary for the gen.
eral business prosperity. While there We're
and perhaps still are, many matters in cor
porate life. and in what are popularity
termed trusts" that have cried aloud for
a remedy. it must be remembered that
without corporations and kindred combina-
lions of capital it is impossible to conduct
most of the business of the country"
