BENEATHA
TOWEL PILE DOG
NEVER RETURNED
Newark Man Sued to Recover,
but Elizabeth Judge Didn't
See 1t.
Especial to The Evening start

ELIZABETH, Feb. 5.-Such a trivial
matter as a dog being lost amid a heap
of towels to be- Numbered and unlike
the proverbjal cat, not coming back"
resulted in a suit by Edward F. Heath,
of Newark, in the District Court here
against John Truesdale, OF Lyons
Farms.
Heath claimed that T%ruesdale buried
the dog under the stack of towels and
that since the brute was thrown from
the wagon he has failed to return to
his proper kennel, and various It'd
bits of bones, scraps and dog biscuit
awaiting him.
ale was such a valuable ANIMAL"
Heath told JudgeSwift, that he was
worth $125. and l don't see why this
defenda 1t shouldn't reimburse me for
a loss now i~rreparab1e."
That the dog was one of a number
of prize animals raised ny Heath for
exhibition purposes 1t was not denied.
but that Truesdale's earelessness had
been responsible for it's loss was.
Like the little Amb of Mary. the deg,
so the defense showed, followed Trues-
dale's wagon each day he drove to
Newark. On the particular occasion
upon which the dog fed, it followed
Truesdale to n tannery where he
had gone to take the towels re-
curing washing. The animal was in
the habit of eating the meat from I'M
dressed hides, and to prevent it doing
damage the foreman advised Trues-
dale to put it in the wagon. This was
done and when fTruesdale threw the
dirty linen into the wagon the dog was
buried beneath the heap. On his way
from the factory he threw the dog to
the street, thinking it would return
home, but nothing has been since seen
of tn brute.
Judge Swift returned a verdict FOR
Truesdale.

COMMENTS MADE
ON STATISTICAL
BULLETIN FIGURES
Railroad Officials Confer on
American Railway AssOCia=
tiOn Car Committee.

Several prominent railroad officials
in New York city. commenting yester-
day on the statistical bulletin just pub
lished by the car efficiency COMMITTEES
of the American Railway Association,
estimated the loss to the 1853 railroads
owning the idle equipment at $2.OoO,0Oo
a month in interest on investment. The
report shows that on January % of this
year there were 399.055 idle freight cars
in this country, and that of this num-
Der there were s5,1S5 owned by the
twenty-five railroad operating in New
York, New Jersey and Delaware.
Opposed to these recapltulations the
committees statcmelt shows that ON
October 80, 1907, 161 railroads in The
United States reported a shortage of
Sc, 1911 cars. OF this number the New
York, New Jersey and Delaware group
of railroads were short 17,772 cars.
Figuring the average cost of freight
cars at 81, 900 each, which Is the value
placed uBon them by the railroads, the
total sum represented by the surplus
rolling stock of this class is 1889, 05S, 900,
1t IL said that the railroads, in adj
dition to the empty freight cars, have
approximately $500 locomotives out of
commission, valued at $4,000 each,
which increases the amount of total in
vestment in equipment not in use to
about $40e. 900, 900.

ORANGE SCHOOLS
TO Be ENLARGED
IN NEAR FUTURE
Lincoln Avenue Building Will Be
Added To-Cleveland Street
Structure Next.

At a meeting last night, which as
sembled at u O'Clock, the special COM
mittee of the Orange Board OF Educa-
ton having in charge the matter of
providing additional quarters for the
school children OF the city, came to
the conclusion that it would be mad
visable to place i new school structure
in the neighborhood of Bell and JEFF
ferson streets, as was previously
favored, but at the meeting on Friday
night there will be agitated a plan TO
tear down the old or westerly building
IN Lincoln avenue erecting a new
structure to connect with the addition
built not many years ago, the whole
to provide twenty-five class rooms.
This project. it is expected, will solve
for several years the plan to provide
for the fast growing population in the
Italian quarter and adjacent sections.
The committee will also favor the
construction OF an addition to the
Cleveland Street School. 1t was agreed
the number of pupils in the %neighbor-
hood of the proposed site in South JEFF
ferson street would not justify the
building of a new school there while
the part time classes in the other
schools required that some correction
be made of existing conditions there.
The committee. which is headed by
Commissioner Fred G. femme, spent
some time going over the situation.

WOMAN'S BOARD BILL
Woman Descendant Of Ancient and Noble English Family, Sued

Behind the suit brought against Mrs.

Continental Hotei, to recover a board
bill of 81, 200, is a story in which j. Pier
pont Morgan figures. '.4s3
Mrs. Williams came to Newark in
1906 and engaged a suite of apartments
at the C~ontinsntal Hotel. She had just
been given her freedom after having
been arrested without a warrant in
New York, at the i~nstigations it lis said,
of Mr.. Morgan. who accused her of be-
ing of unsound mind.
Mrs. Williams claims to come from
the ancient and noble Norfolk family
Of England. She was an intimate
friend, it is said, of Lord and. Lady
Sutfield, close friends to King Edward.
Mrs. Williams was presented to D. c,
Winans, a wealthy merchant of Balti-
more, by Lord Sufield.
In 1881 they were married and lived
in England,
One day the wife learned that Winans
had another wife in the United States.
Winans was unable to get q divorce and
so he went to a quiet place in England
with his second wife and took the name
of Williams. He died in 1892 and left

ARCHITECT SUES
LEATHER MAN FOR
BEING LOCKED UP
Pigott Seeks to Recover
5000 from Guigues for
His Humiliation.

Suit fol. $4,000 damages for false I'M
prisonment has been started by James
S. Pigott, a well-known architect In
this city, against Albert A. Guigues,
a leather manufacturer, of Ferry street.
On DECEMBER 26 last, Pigott waS al
rested at Perth Afnboy On a charge of
.arceny preferred by Guigues, AND on
January 2 he vas examined i'll the re
corder's court there, I'M completely ex-
cnerated and discharged. 3
1t seems that Pigott was the arehi-
tect for Guigues, who had conteinp-
.ated building a factory i'll Perth Am
boy, and one day Pigott, finding GER
tain articles of hardware did not fit. in
with the specifications. had them
shipped to Newark for reconstruction,
Guigues charged him with intending 10
steal them. The arrest and eXonera-
ion followed, and now the. suit in re-
taliation has been brought.
John P. Manning is acting as Figott,s
counsel.
Previously to this Mr. pigott had
begun three suits against the leather
manufacturer. In one the architect
seeks professional fees for services in
erecting the factory the firm now occu-
pies in Lister avenue this city, and
for a proposed addition to the building
which it was proposed to erect shortly
afterward.
In another suit Mr.. Pigott asks for
compensation for. a residence the
leather man contemplated erecting on
the site of the present building in Perth
Amboy. Work on the residence, which
would cost about 100000, has been at
a standstill for several months. as the
owner has failed to honor certificates
issued by the architect.
Mr.. Pigott has been doing profess
sional services for the defendant for
about six years.
Mr.. Guigues's mother. who is re-
ported to have been very wealthy, died
recently in Philadelphia.

HIS ORDINANCE CHECK TO

Alderman Frederick j. Fischer, OF
the Sixth Ward. will introduce in the
Common Council an ordinance provid-
ing that he signs in the cars Of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company
prohibiting ex%pectorating. on the floors
or platforms of trolley cars, now

Alderman will bring the matter to the
attention of the Board of Health for
approval before introducing the or,i-
nance.
Mr.. Fischer claims that the chief Of
tenders against this order of the
Board of Health are foreigners, who
cannot read English, and declares that
it is a hardship and injustice to arrest
them W zen they do not understand tho
signs relating to the Law.
The Alderman further states that in
the fight against tuberculosis. which
disease caused seventy-eight deaths
last month in the city, all precautions
should be taken. He advocates the as
signing of a Health Board inspector to
continually watch the cars to see that
they are sanitary. A strict enforce
lnent of the Law against expectorating
is favored by him.

I Mrs. Williams TO gain possession of a
large estate she claims in Baltimore.
BY a provision of the win when Mrs.
Winans No. 1 died in 1899 the entire
fortune reverted to Mrs. Williams. Mr..
Morgan, who, with a son, had been
presented to the tWinans in England
and who offered 10 be their business
agents in this country, was appointed
administrator of the estate. Claims
from the family Of the first wife kept
Mrs. Williams from the enjoyment of
the estate. The ground of the legal
hold-up, was a denial that Mrs. Will
Jams. vas the wife Of Winans.
Mrs. Williams, however, claims that
she has the marriage certificate. As
soon as Wife No. l died Mrs. Williams
applied to the Morgans for an account
ing. She made several requests to the
banker without. avail. Then, she
claimed, she vas arrested in 1906, with
put a warrant. and an attempt was
made by the MorSans to have her de-
ported as being of unsound mind. The
Morgans alleged the woman was labor
ing under decisions, and that the re-
lations she claimed with the Balti-
MORGAN were myths. Mrs. Williams
said the attempt to have her deported
was to prevent her from having her
power of attorney transferred by for
feiture of the prerogative.
The case occupied considerable atten-
ton in the courts of New York in 1905.

No one knows at the present moment
