HEARING CONTINUES
ON DYNELECTR0N.

Further testimony was heard today be-
fore Yice-Chaneellor Emery In the suit
OF Stephen l.. Tingley. promoter, of Provi-
dence, r. l.. against the International
Dynelectron Company and others. The OBJ
iect Of thiss suit is to recover 5000 which
represent the assets of the company on Il
mortgage Of $4,000. of which the plaintiff
was the assignee.
In the testimony today 1t was disclosed
that another company, known as the
Dyneclectron Company, also gave a mort
gage on the same plant for 5000 In April,
1906. to cover stockholders who had adj
vanced moneys TO carry the concern on.
Theodore NJ Pufsel, of East Orange,
held this second mortgage.
The $3.50 has been paid into-eourt. II
out Of this sum Pursei wants his 50, 900,
and Charles F. Croselmire, owner of the
premises, where the International and the
Dynelectron companies are located. 352-354
Mulberry street, Is asking for $1,000 out
Of the money in the hands of the court.
Besides this there is another claim of 5000
put in by James III. Reid, who managed
The business, and whose patents form the
basis Of the present legal difficulties.
Oscar l.. Bergstrom president OF the
Dvneclectron Company. was on the wit
ness stand this morning. When Lawyer
Frank e. Bardner, for the complainant,
was cross-examining him the lawyer asked
II any one had altered the secrctary's re-
ports of the meetings Of the company OF
which Mr.. Bergstrom is the head. The
witness grew indignant and denied the in
situation. He said IL the seeretary's min
utes were altered It was done unknown
to him.
Michael J Tansey. a lawyer. brought a
suit attacking the transfer by the
Dynelectron Company to the Internationai
Company some time ago, because Of the
fact that TanseY claimed to own $500. 900
face value OF stock in the Dynclectron
Company. This stock, of course, is WORTH
less.
Documentary evidence was submitted by
both sides preparatory 10 opening the case
before the Nice-Chancellor.

10 DAYS LEAVE
1S 6RANTED
CORDIALLY
Says lie Wishes Time 10
Assist in His Defense.
Castle Asks for Trial.

Detective Sergeant Thomas ]. Cor
bally, who is under several indictments,
appeared before the Police Board at its
meeting this afternoon and asked for a
ten days leave of absence in order that
he would be able to assist his counsel
in preparing for his coming trial in the
upper court. CORDIALLY asked that 1t be
understood that the leave would b.
without pay.
President Bladder, of the board, re-
peated the request in Corbally's words,
and asked him to repeat, that there
might be no mistake. Commissioned
Kane said he saw no reason why the
request should not be granted, and he
offered the motion, which was seconded
by Commissioners Castle, and carried.
Following this Commissioner Castle
argued that he saw 40 reason why the
board should not take up the trials of
the three mel suspended who are under
Indictment some time ago. He said
that it was unfair to carry these men
under suspension for perhaps a year
without pay.
Commissioners Harrigan pointed out
that the trials would cost the city
something like 1000 at this time, and
Commissioner Castle remarked that it
would probably cost the city $4,000 be-
fore the thing was finished.
"Well, the citizens of this city would
not kick over it il the men were vindi-
Gated" said Commissioner Harrigan.
President Bladder pointed out that
City Counsel NugentS would have TO be
consulted before any action was taken
in the matter. and he also said that he
believed that some of the cases would
be taken up in the upper court very
soon.
The board discussed the situation pro
and con, and as vet arrived at no con-
%clusion.
Commissioner Harrigan plainly stated
that he believed the board had made a
mistake in the first place by suspending
only some of the men. In his opinion
all should have beer suspended or none
at all.
Corbally's trial a been set down
for Wednesday, December Is.

SCREENS MUST
BE KEPT
DOWN
Mrs. Gnstave OrteI and
Others Warned to
Obey Law.

Several s-aloonkeepers in the Hill Sec
ton were reprimanded this week for
violating that part OF the Bishops law
governing screens. Three were SUM
moned to court n instructed by
Judge Herr. One stated that he was
acting on an opinion given by a local
paper at his request. but finally decided
to abide by the decision of the court.
Mrs. Gustave Ortel, who conducts q
saloon at Springfield avenue and Berv
gen street, was asked to be in court
Monday. but failed to respond. The fol-
lowing day she sent word that she was
sick. Captain Vogel warned her to be
on hand yesterday morning at $3.50. but
she failed to appear until 1890.
This was anything but pleasing to the
captain. and he told Mrs. Ortel in plain
language hat IL she wasn't on hand at
the appointed time today he would
make a formal complaint against her.
The woman saved the commander of
the Seventeenth avenue station this
trouble, for she was in court long be-
fore the arrival of the judge. Her ex-
cuse was that while the screens were
not in the position required by the law,
this was due to her daughter. who was
scrubbing at the time. She agreed to
have the screens down in the future,
and was told that a second violation
would result d~isastrously for her.
Four saloon-keepers in the Second Pre-
cinct were summoned before Judge Herr
by order of Captain John t. Brown, COM
handing the precinct, who charged them
with repeatedly violating the saloon screen
law.
The defendants were Antonio Nestcs Of
81 Boyden street: V. Del Mauro, of lSS
Eighth avenue: George Reiss, Of 54S Broad
street. and VALENTINO Speilman. of 31S Og-
den street. The men were severely cenf
SIRED by the judge, and told 10 keep their
police and public could have a full view
of the place on Sundays.

BID FOR THE
CONVENTION

-

Democrats of the country would be
given an opportunity to test the ca
pacity OF that city's 1000 hotels and
the pleasures OF its famous boardwalk.
The nominations were then closed.
Cleveland was put definitely u OF
the race by Mayor Johnson, of that
city, this morning. His authority for
withdra wing his city was contained in
the following dispatch. which was re-
ceived early today, from the local COM
mittee:
The committee of five appointed by
the meeting Of citizens to draft a reply
to Mayor .Johnson's communication re-
g%retfully expresses the view held at the
meeting that the opportunity to extend
an invitation to the national Demo-
cratic convention to meet in Cleveland
has been presented so short a time be-
fore the National Committee must act
upon the question that those present
were uncertain that 1t would be pos
siblc to arrange for the entertainment
of the convention. especially in view of
the fact that two other large national
organizations have already definitely
determined to meet in Cleveland at
about the time proposed for the Demo-
cratic convention.
The committee therefore requests its
chairman. John II. Clarke, to express
this view to Mayor Johnson with the
assurance that his action In presenting
the matter was cordially appreciated.
Following IL the text Of Mr.. Belmont
resolution:
Resolved, That the Democratic Ma
tional Committee cordially approves
a movement now under way to assist in
bringing about the publicity In the
State as well as In the nation of
money contributed. and all expendi-
lures made By any association, COM
mittee or other organization for poIiti-
cal purposes"

lucky, presented Lo%uisville's claim.

SLEUTHING
Washington Street SaIOon-
: keeper Held for Running
Gambling Place.

Relieving that he had been duped by
q couple of pool sharks who got SIS of
his money! in the saloon of Arthur
Shave, $50 Washington street, Henry
Messenger, of 45 Halsey street. turned
detective last night, and by a quick
Change of clothes did some good
sleuthing on his own account, result
ing in the arrest of George Flynn, of
1853 Plane street, who has a local repu-
tation as q pool player; Harry Quass,
OF 40 Columbia street, who Is also a
wel-known pool player, and Arthur
shave, the saloonkeeper. Shave was
neld IN $500 for the Grand Jury on a
charge OF maintaining a gambling
house, Flynn, Quass and Messenger
were each ordered to furnish 5000 bail
as material witnesses against Shave
hiynn and Quass may be later charged
with gambling. Plainclothes Policemen
Farrell n O'Gara made the arrests.
Messenger says that he was watching
the fire in Market street when a man
whom he afterward recognized al
Quass, approached him n said that
he was the manager of Waldmann's
Theatre. He began to ak with Has
senger and related hat he lac beer
robbed of $50 in a pool game. Hassen-
ger was invited to have a drink and he
accepted, the couple going to the sa-
loon of Shave, in Washington street.
Quass suggested that they play a game
of pool. They played several. Hassen-
ger won the first, but that was all he
won. A stranger entered the saloon
md oclrnd 10 fhnty urottI1 not raoIo ~ "a
three-handed game. The stranger was
Flynn, though Messenger did not know
him. Quass dropped out and Flynn
and Messenger continued. When they
got through Flynn was SIS ahead of the
am Messenger then, believing he
was duped, went to his home, changed
his clothes for those of a teamster, and
went to the saloon to see If Flynn and
Quass were accomplices.
He found Flynn and Quass talking.
They recognized him and asked him
where he was going. He told them he
was on his way to work. They followed
him for some time, but he finally es-
capped them and went to the First Pre-
cinct station. Farrell and O'Garra went
out and arrested Flynn, Quass and
Shave.
When a~rraigned before Acting Judge
Yuill today, Flynn and Quass denied
knowing zach other. Flynn stated that
he had played pool with Quass once be-
fore. He described himself as an ex-
pert billiard player.
Flynn made a voluntary statement, in
which he admitted having played in
Slaves saloon. His admissions were
considered damaging to Shave.

She desired to 60 10 college amazed her father
and he even wondered whether or not his dauglr-

II was the only college in 1916 that would admit
women to enjoy its privileges, and yet that was
not so long ago. Most of the institutions OF the
higher sort of learning in this country to-day
open their doors to the greater education OF
women, and many OF those which do not admit
them directly provide special courses or have
colleges connected with the universities. Here
the instruction obtained by women is fully equal
to that given the men. and much of the credit for
this is due to the labors and example of Lucy
Stone The Female Suffrage Movement, too, has
made most wonderful progress. 1t is in full oper-
alton in some of the Western States. Although
opinions differ as to the real good accomplished
by women voting in other States, in some cleo

educational government the women property

cases it has always been wisely used Lucy
Stone, were she to come to life, would hardly re-

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

A S WAS to be expected, one effect OF the
1 strike of teegraphers is to stimulate
thought about the public ownership OF the public
service corporations. The telegraph companies
are a practical monopoly presumably serving the
interests Of the public, and upon whom the public
are dependent The companies are engaged IN
clash with their employees, and long-drawn-out
and bitter struggle is to follow, 70 the inoonven-
ence Of the public At the best the service OF the
telegraph companies is none too good, and their
charges are high as compared with similar service
in other countries.
Conservative papers that view with alarm any
growth Of sentiment in favor OF public ownership
of private monopohes, confess that they are dis
turbed by the strike, and some OF them predict
that it will act as boomerang upon the COM
panies themselves At first the sentiment of the
papers was largely in favor Of the companies, who
boldly announced that the strike was ended,
that there is nothing to arbitrate," and that they
were winning alt along the line But i the teles
graph companies can srldenB7lose. very large
percentage of their working force and replace
them almost in an instant by competent men, so
that business is not seriously nerfered with they
have indeed performed remarkable feat, that no
other business enterprise could accomplish De
spite the protests of the companies and the vari-
Gus statements that have been given out, it is
known to those in any way familiar with the
dongs Of the companies, that their employees,
wire chiefs. operators, managers and everyone
else are low-paid men. To say that the teegra-
pliers have no grievances is simply binding one
eye to the facts.
For long time there has been an undercurrent
Of agitation for government ownerships Of the
companies, and when the charges for telegraph
tolls. which are considered unreasonably high,
are supplemented with a service that is never any
too good but now promises to be worse the ranks
Of those who favor government ownership Of this
public service will be swelled
The telegraph companies have made enormous
profits in the past and this OF itself is not calcu-
lated to draw favorable public opinion towards
them. Such a conservative paper as the Wash
ington Star declares that some way should be de-
vised by the government, if necessary to prevent
the paralysis Of business by these conflicts be-
tween the operators and their employers.

HoNoRING Lucy sToNE.

IT THROUGHOUT the country women suffrage
n clubs, especially those in Massachusetts,,
have been celebrating the.birthday Of Lucy Stone.
The Massachusetts Club made visit to Lucys
birthplace, on the old farm near Westbrook.
There she was brought up and developed those
ideas which afterwards placed her at the head of
tthe woman's rights movement. The celebration
swas in honor Of the Goth anniversary of the birth
of Lucy Stone. The anniversary date does not
appear to have been strictly correct, as she was
born on August I3, 1918, and therefore, would
be 50 years old were she still living. She has
been called the Morning Star Of the Movement"
and has been, indeed, honored by those who have
advocated womens' suffrage in all parts Of the
country.
The first national woman's rights convention.
sheld in Worcester in 1885, was under the inspira-
tion of Lucy Stone, and Susan B. Anthony de-
,clared that the reports Of the convention turned
9er to womans' suffrage Local conventions had
been held before this in New York and Ohio. and
throughout the country there were advocates
strenuous and stirring in favor of Just and better
Jaws for women. From that time the movement
mas spread throughout the country, securing all
che support that the protector had expected But
certain it is that women have progressed in every
