FORT SENT JUDGES
TO CONVENTION A
YEAR Too soon
Dill, lSwayze and Carrow Went
to Wilmington for 1909
Peace Congress.
WAS IT MISTAKE OR
WAS GOVERNOR JOKING 4?
Anyhow, Jurists Had Time OF
Their Lives, with All Ex-
penses Paid.

Suppose you were one of three distin-
guished Jersey jurlsts and you had an
April fool joke sprung upon you i'm May
wouldn't it rufIie your official dig
nifty? And, suppose you were the Gov
ernor of North Carolina, would YOU en-
deavor to square matters by Suggesting
to the Jerseymen, like your predecessor
of old did to the Governor of South
Carolina, It's a long time between
drinks?"
Whether Judge James b. Dill, of the
Court of Errors and Appeals, whose
home is in East Orange; Supreme Court
Justice Francis ]. Swayze of Newark,
and former Judge of the Court of Com
mon Pleas Howard Carrow, of Camden.
accepted such invitation remains to be
discovered. but that they were fooled is
true, for they were this week sent to
Wilmington by Governor Fort to attend
a peace congress-which won't convene
for year.
Now that he is one of the Big
Four the Governor may have consid-
cred that lie had time to play joke,
but the probability is that the send
ing of the commission to Wilmington
was due to a stenographer in the Office
of Hayne Davis, of New York, presi-
dent of the North Carolina Peace
Society, making an error in the year
date on the invitation sent Governor
Fort under date of February Z. 1t read
that at Wilmington, May to 6. there
would be q session of the North Caro-
lima Peace and Arbitration Congress,
and invited the Governor and his
cabinet" to attend. with "a request
that the Governor make an address.
Realizing that at the time mentioned
he would be too busy securing his seat
on the G. o. P. bandwagon bound for
Chicago. the Governor delegated to the
three prominent gentlemen mentiehed
the honbr of representing the State.
To Wilmington journeyed the com
missioners. only to find they were a
year ahead of time. But they had a
royal time, being entertained by promi-
nent folk there when the mistake in
dates was explained
Judge Dill declares he regretted as
much to leave his new-found friends
as he was happy in receiving that
seven figure check for setting the
affairs of the steel trust running
smoothly. incidentally, they received
their expenses.

DOG BARK SENDS
HEROINE TO SAVE
ENDANGERED GIRLS
Three Young Women Rescued
from Raging Passaic by
Farmers Wife.
SWEPT IN PUNT FROM
NEWARK GIRLS CAMP
Terriers Yelps Aroused Mrs. Ja-
cobus, Who Puts Out on River
Alone in Boat.

A dogs barking and a woman's hero
ism saved three young women, one of
them supposed to be of this city, from
being drowned in the Passaic River or
being dashed 10 pieces over the dam at
Litte Falls.
Mrs. Elmer Jacobus, a farmers wife,
is the heroine, who, hearing the frantic
barking of a terrier put out in boat
and rescued Miss Clara Grimsby. of
Newark, and Ethel Burgess and Maud
Harkey, of New York, from frail
punt in which the girls were being rapt
idly carried down stream.
The girls had fixed up Miss Grimsby' 5
summer camp on an island near Han
over Neck, and in the storm the rising
river carried away their hut and d
large boat, leaving them only the little
punt to save them from death.
In the midst OF an electrical storm
the young women launched the punt
and the swollen tide tossed them about
until they had gone down the river fif-
teen miles, where their craft stuck I'm q
fallen tree and the oars were lost. The
barking of Miss Grimsby's terrier
aroused Mrs. Jacobus, and as her hus-
band was not at home she launched a
heavy rowboat. and after being swept
down the stream for a mile succeeded
in reaching the young women almost
exhausted
Telling the hysterieal occupants of
the punt to remain calm she attached
rope tc the punt and then pushed
out in the river Her knowledge of
the currents helped her in avoiding the
whirlpoolS. and after a hard struggle
she got both boats ashore half a mile
further down the stream, just where
the river il like a min race before it
dashes over tho falls.
The young women tramped TO the
Jacobus home. where they collapsed ss
a result OF the exposure and the strain.

MANTEO, N. c., May 9--Before won
dering spectators, the Wright brothers,

ries when they flew thirty miles along
the North Carolina seacoast, eight miles
from the last of the sand dunes over the
Atlantic Ocean and back, dipping, soar
ing, rising, tumbling with all the ease
and grace of the gulls which followed
Their aeroplane rose to a height of
5000 feet then shot toward the earth
with the speed of a hawk. A thrill Of
horror went through the watchers on
the shore, who held their breath, ex-
pecting to see the strange craft of the
air disappear in the ocean. 1t changed
cheer as the gray sails glided above the
waves, skinnming their surface and then
rose almost vertically again like an
eagle flying in the face of the sun.
Early in the day the start was made
from the sand dunes few miles from

AS the machine sailed higher the cir
cles widened to a diameter of a mile or
more, and then commenced the most
remarkable series of tumbling and ca
vorting in the air ever Witnessed by
human eyes. The sharpest of turns
was made with the speed and agility
Of a bird. The aeroplane dipped

every touch on the levers which guided

aerial gymnastics, it headed for the

In a few minutes it was but speclS

its nose toward the shore, and in less

eight miles back to the starting point.

ARGUES FOR HIGHER

Kalisch Gives Eight Reasons
Why indictments Against City
Counsel Should Be Quashed.
LOESER AND FLYNN

Chief Justice Reserves Decision,
Declaring Case Too Impor-
tant for 0ffhand Ruling.

An exhaustive and elaborate arsu-
ment was made by Samuel Kalisch ir
the Supreme Court circuit today be-
fore Chief Justice Gummere. in the
course of his application for writ ei
.certiorari to remove the alleged fraudu-
. lent primary election cases, returned by
a recnt grand jury, against City
Counsel James r. Nugent and others
to the Supreme Court, AT the time the
city counsel was indicted true bills
We're found against Freeholder Joseph
j. Kenny, Alderman Joseph A. Wright,
of the First Ward, and Alderman Elmel
A. Day. of the Second Ward.

Mott, before the argument began. in
troduced Louis Hood. former assistant
prosecutor of the pleas, as States
counsel in these cases 1t was Mr. Hood
who drew up the indictments, after
they had. been once before drawn, and
found to have been so detective that it
became necessary to redraw them.
Many points were enumerated by Mr..
kalisch and many precedents cited to
convince the chief Justice that these
cases should 5be taken to the upper
court as a step TO procure a quashing
of the indictments ON the ground that
they involve so many legal questions
that it was necessary for the upper
courts to pass upon them.
KaIisch's eight Points.
These eight salient points We're set
forth by Mr.. Kalsch
.First--That the Indictment does not
set out sufficient facts, in either count
thereof, to constitute an offense under
the laws of New Jersey.
Second-That neither count in such
indictment charges criminal offense
against the said defendants.
Third-That the very nature of the
offense charged in the indictment
shows it to be incapable to be the joint
act OF the defendants, and there
fore the joinder of the defendants in
said counts vitiates the said counts of
said Indictment
Fourth-That the Indictment fails TO
show that the alleged election districts
set out therein were legally constituted
election districts under the laws of New
Jersey.
Fifth-That the title of the act of
1905, upon which the indictment is
founded. is void and unconstitutional
and that its title is defective and mis-
leading.
SiXth-Because each count of the in
dictment charges the defendants with
several distinct criminal offenses.
Seventh-That the counts of the in
dictment are vague and indefinite and
leave it uncertain as to what particular
offense the defendants are charged
with.
Eighth--Because the counts in the in

CONFERENCE

The Democratic Prevaricatora
Hatch Up Another SillyAr-
ticIe About a Confab.

ELKINS. Oct. 24-The paid liar
is sprinEing up in all directions over
the state. The latest emanation from
his corrupt brain left here yeste rdaX
and has been published broadcast in,
all the Democratic papers of the
State. One paid liar has beer fol-
lowing Mr.. Glasscock all over the
state and trying to belittle the inter-
est the people are taking in this
magnificent candidate of a reunited
Republican party. This had grown to
be joke but the effusion of yester-
day from this city is so ludlCrously
and pitfully a ralsehood that It is a
matter of wonderment that any re-
spectacle newspaper would give 1t
space.
The story was to the effect that a
great conference" was to be held
between Messrs. Glasscock, Reed. the
State committee and Senator EllCins;
a great corruption fund was to be rails
ed and money was to flow in a stream
as broad as the state on election day.
This is a ludicrOus falsehood that the
Democrats are resortinE to to draw
attention from the Democrttc plan of
trying to steal the election.
The facts are. that Messrs. Glass
cock and Reed, candidates on the
state ticket. arrived at Elkins today
and not a single member of the state
committee is here. Their itinerary
was made outla month ago. and thera
was no knowledge at that time as to
whether or not Senator Elkins would
even be in the land of the living. AS
a matter of fact he was not in Elkins
today. having been called East on i'm
portant business. This is the founda-
ton for the great conference" story
spread broadcast through the unfair,
misrepresenting and purposely false
tying Democratic newspapers. Seeing
the handwriting on the wall, facing
defeat the Democrats are resorting
to all manner of lying and faIsfyiug
to help their party. In the past It

they can succeed. They are sowing
