The Newark Bill Posting Com
pany have won their suit against
Counihan & Shannon, proprietors of
the Majestic theatre, for the right
to use a billboard on the Gerba
property near the passenger station
of the Pennsylvania railroad, on
State street.
The suit was tried in the district
court recently, but Judge Lyon with
held his decision until today, when
he rendered it in favor of the plain
tiff
Joseph E. Stricken was counsel
for the defendants, and Thomas
Brown represented the plaintiff.
Judge Lyon, when asked about the
decision, said that the fact that the
Newark company had a lease on the
property long before Counihan g
Shannon, ante-dated any other
claim.
He said that the point brought up
by Mr. Stricken that Mrs. Gerba did
not know What she was signing,
when she gave the Newark company
the lease was not considered, aIrr

er's in regard to the form In which

master Turned Then Down.
IS DISTRIBUTING BY HAND

William H. Quackenboss, in his
canvass for votes, ran up against the
postal authorities in South Amboy
Saturday. He had a lot of circulars
placed in envelopes bearing two
cent stamp and had them mailed
from South Amboy. The postmaster,
when he learned that the letters had
come from New Brunswick, deemed
it violation Of the postal laws to
have them mailed in South Amboy
SO he returned them.
Mr.. Quackenboss has issued the
following statement regarding the
matter and is having it left at every
door In South Amboy:
''To All Fair-minded Citizens of
South Amboy:
"As a candidate for sheriff l want
ed to let every voter know where l
stand and went to the personal ex-
pense of having an envelope address
ed to each voter and putting in 1t
what you find delivered, with this
circular. l had two-cent stamp put
on all these envelopes. On Saturday
I put in the South Amboy post Office,
a letter addressed to each voter. Af-
ter Postmaster DeGraw found they
were letters sent by me and after he
had cancelled a great many of the
stamps he sent for my brother and
said he would not deliver them be-
cause the stamps were not bought
from him. / am therefore having
them personally delivered, but
shall ask the post Office department
to take action on the matter. l am
surprised that I should receive such
treatment. l only want fair show

II seems practically certain that
the local shipyard will be given
contract for the construction OF the
engines for the new battleship Flor'
do. which Is to be built at the
brooklyn navy yard. The Newport
News company's bid Of $l.577,0OO was
the lowest OF a number opened In
Washington yesterday. and It is be-
lieved that this figure will be satis'

partment.
This contract, amounting to more
than a million and q half dollars. will
come to the yard at O good time. and
will 60 a long way toward relieving
the natural feeling of disappointment
over the failure of the company to
bid lowest for the battleship Titan.
II the contract Is awarded. work on
the engines will begin at once ana
they will be ready for installation
when the giant hull of the battleship
Is completed. 1t is supposed that the
hull will be towed here as soon as
IL has reached the necessary stage
OF completion to have the machiner!
installed
The New York Shipbuilding Com
pany's bid Of $3.s46.000 for the Utah
contract, bids for which were opened
at noon yesterday, was more than
5000, 900 lower than that Of the local
company, which was next lowest. The
actual cost Of constructing the ship
will be more than this. 1t Is said. and
while the local company was very
anxious to secure the contract, 1t Is
understood that It would not under
any circumstances undertake to build
the ship at the New York company's
price.
The news that the yard die not get
the contract was received here with
general regret. as the public had con.
fldently expected the company to sub
nit the lowest bid. The announce
mena that another contract amount
lug to over a million and half dol
lars very probably would come our
way, frightened up the situation con
siderably. however.
No definite news concerning. the
contract for the new Hudson River
liner has been received. although It
has been reported that the local yard
submitted the lowest bid.

Brilliant Congressional Career.

WASHINGTON. d. c. Nov. 8. -
Senator Carmack is wei remem'
bered in Washington, whe ; he serv'
ed in both houses of Congress. Dur
ing his senatorial career from 1901
tn 1907 he made a number Of brilliant
speeches.
Although inclined to be sarcastic In
some of his utterances, he had many
friends In Congress among both.
Democrats and Republicans. who ad'
mired his fearlessness and his intel
lectual at;ainments.
Most Brilliant Effort.
Perhaps the most notable speech
during his four years in the lower
House was his brilliant effort in his
own defense when Josiah Patterson.
father of the present governor OK
Tennessee. contested Carmack's seat.
During his congressional career ne
constantly attacked the Republican
administration in connection, among
others, with the Iniianola. Browns
vile and Panama revolution Incl
dents executive encroachment, ETC..
and his speeches on the subject OF
the Philippine tariE and in oppos'-
ton to Senator Foraker on the
negro shooting up" incident at
Brownsville. are among those parti-
cularly recalled by the Tennessean
admirers.
In the Senate he was a minority
member OF the committee on the
Philippines.
