NOR AND BISHOP
JUR|ES FAIL TO
REACH vERD|CTS
Both Are Discharged After II Is
Found They Are Hope
lessly Divided.

Two juries in damage suits were
hung up the same length of time, ten
hours, almost to the minute, in the
Court House asst night and were then
discharged because they could not
agree.
One was that to which Miss Grace
Bishops action for $4,000 against the
Public Service Railway Company had
been intrusted. and the other was thai
which for eight days had heard Kraus
Mor's $1,000 grievance against the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company.
The Bishop jury went out at IL O'Clock
yesterday morning after Judge Heisley
had charged it in the Circuit Court
and made its return at 9 o'clock last
night, while the Nor jury went out
about half an hour later, after Judge
Adams had delivered his charge, and
agreed to disagree at $3.50 O'Clock last
night.
Miss Bishop was the victim of q
trolley-automobile smash-up at Halsey
street and Central avenue, where
Frank A. Boettner's machine, In which
she was riding with him and his
brother, Frederick. collided with 6
Roseville car, while Mor's suit, tried
for the third time, was for the alleged
diversion of Stone House Brook by the
railroads dam so that it overfowed
his corn fields in South Orange.
1t is likely that both suits will be
again listed for trial.

MUST SUPPORT WIFE
WHATEVER HIS WAGES.
Judge Swami Opposes View OF
Brother Jurist.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Judge Swami,

yesterday contrary to n handed down
on Wednesday by Judge Foster, in
which he ruled hat a woman has nc
right to marry a man with the knowl-
edge that his salary was but Sc a week
and look to him for support.
The question of the obligation of a
husband arose again yesterday when
Philip Gross, a butcher, Of 301 West
103d street, was found guilty before
Judge Swami of abandoning his wife
and children. Gross was arrested in
Chicago and brought back to this city
for trial.
The jury recommended the prisoner
to mercy, and Judge Swami ordered
him to pay IS a week, saying:
"It has been held by a learned jurist
in this court that a husband who can
earn but Sc a week Is under no obi
cation to support his wife, because he
a barely live on that amount him
self. I do not so hold. 1t is my opin-
ion that a man who marries on but Sc
a week runs the risk of being sent to
Jail for not supporting his wife, pro-
viding he is brought before me-"

the taxicab riding public of this city is
paying SO high for their taxicab rides
that the taxicabs are making an annual
profit of 113 per cent.
1t opens with the optimistic state
ment. that 1.-The popularity of the auto

tinues on with an estimate that each
of the company's cab Is earning an in

of taximeter cabs is ultraconservative,'
the pamphlet goes on. Our own rec
ords show that cabs average forty-five
miles per day, with two and one-half
hours waiting time ~chargeable to
