Bridgeion Couple Fight for
Child.

Following testimony in habeas cor
pus proceedings on the petition of Geo.
Carter, of Bridgeton, for the custody of
his 10-year-old daughter Helen, Vice
Chancellor Leaning, in Camden yester-
day decided to allow the mother the
custody of the little one. Carter alleged
that his wife was not proper person
to have the custody of the child on the
ground of alleged immoral conduct.
He claimed that while they We're living
at Millville she sought the society of
another man and that it was on that
account that they separated last Febru-
ary.
After evidence was adduced to show
that the husbands morals were not of,
the highest standard, the Vice -Chancel-
lor told the husband that he could not
believe the wife was so immoral as to
warrant the Court for taking the child
from her care, but her custody depend
ed entirely upon the mothers conduct
Carter was told that he would have the
right to visit his daughter at all ap-
propriate times.

JUSTICE TRENCHARD
PICKS FOREMAN.

Mays Landing, May IL. Prosecutor
Goldenberg's unparalleled action in
protesting the appointment of State
Senator Edward A. Wilson, of Absecon,
as foreman of the May Grand Jury
created sensation to- day in the county
court. Supreme Court Justice Trench
ard, on motion of the Prosecutor, exer-
cised his prerogative to name the
Grand Jury foreman and designated
Joseph A. Salus, president of the Busi-
ness Mems League of Atlantic City.
Hundreds OF citizens, including
many politicians and representatives
OF gamblers, came here in anticipation
OF a stirring charge from Justice
Trenchard on the crusade undertaken
by the new Prosecutor under orders
from Governor Fort to break up gam
bling at the seashore.
Rising az Justice Trenchard was
about to order Edward S. Lee, County
Clerk, to call the Grand Jury, Prose-
cutor Goldenberg called the attention
of the Court to the fact that the State
would submit to the Grand Jury evil
dence of gambling most convincing in
its character. Then the Prosecutor
added:
For reasons deem sufficient I shall
ask the Court to exercise its prerogative
of naming the foreman of the Grand
Jury about to be drawn
Justice Trenchard suppressed the
sensation that followed the Prosecutor S
request, and after briefly consulting
County Judge Higbee replied that the
Prosecutors request would be granted.
The Grand Jury then went to its
room, and assistants of the Prosecutor
conveyed there several large boxes of
chips, cards, a faro outfit and two
roulette wheels seized in recent raids.

Rates May Not Be Raised.

Camden, May 12.e-It is unofficially
announced that both the Reading and
the Pennsylvania Railroad companies
will postpone the proposed increase in
passenger and freight rates on the New
Jersey roads until next fall. The
reason given for this is that it would
give the travelling public better op-
portunity to study the question, and
see the justice of the railroad side of
it. The companies have maintained
that the roads were not making suffi-
cient earnings for the capital involved,
and that the New Jersey rates were far
below those of other divisions for the
same haul.
On the other hand, it is declared
that the change of program is due to
the great public protest entered to the
announced increase and the submission
of the questions involved to the state
railroad and interstate commerce COM
missions. Then the renewed activity
of the promoters of the new lines to
the seashore, which may have more or
less financial backing, are said to have
given some of the powerful directors of
the roads several kinds of shivers.
1t is declared that the interstate COM
merce commission is prepared to take
up this rate question as soon as the
matter is carried to it. An investiga-
tion that the commission might make
as to the cause for the raises might
bring to light some things which the
railroads would not care to have placed
in the light of publicity, for instance,
the electrical equipment of the West
Jersey and Seashore and the alleged
diversion of seashore traffic to that road
may reveal a scheme that would place
the officers in no enviable light.

was burning; Nash said, 'T've come

and seizing him by the neck he dealt

FREEHOLDERS IN
ANNUAL MEETING.

Following the mandate of the law,
the Cumberland County Board of
Chosen Freeholders convened Tuesday
morning at II o'clock in their some
what cramped quarters in the Court
House.
! There was no unusual interest mani
fest in the organization of the Board,
for on January first the organization
was made and it was re-enacted this
morning
Promptly at II O'Clock Clerk H. L.
Tyler called the Board to order, and the
roll was responded to by the entire
membership of twenty.
Director Ogden was promptly re-
named for the position and was unani-
mously elected. Escorted to the chair
he made clever little speech acknow
ledging his thanks to the Board.
H. L. Tyler was unanimously Sc
lected Clerk and was sworn.
The remainder of the organization
was made by the reelection Of the Hos
pital Managers, the Aims House trust
ees, the bridge managers and trustees
elected at the meeting in the January.
This work of organization was
promptly accomplished because there
were no contests, and the detail bust
ness of the Freeholders was quickly
reached
Judge Tuller appeared before the
Board to present to the members the
suggestion of the Grand Jury for
proper, sanitary and safe county build
ings. This Judge Tuller said was a
pleasure to him as he was glad to be an
instrument to officially present this i'm
portant matter.
The Judge then, on behalf of the
township of Landis, presented a petition
for the improvement of the Malaga
road. This petition is made under the
provisions of the law passed in 1908 by
the Legislature.
The matter, under the rule, was re-
ferred to the Public Road Committee
and will probably come before the
Board in July for action
In speaking of the county building
project, Judge Tuller spoke most ear
nestly. He explained that if there was
no proper safeguard for the county
records and a proper housing of the
judicial machinery, there was grave
danger and in the future the county
would feel that the Freeholders failed
In their duty to properly act.
The antiquated Csprt House said the
Judge, did not provide sufficient accom-
mediation or coveniences. There should
be two Court rooms providsd. The
present building for the housing of
records was wholly inadequate. Every
official record should be kept in place
fireproof. A fire damaging the records
would be a calamity and the attempt
70 restore them would cost vast sum
OF money. The Judge felt that the
court House site was the proper place
for all county buildings.
Following the remarks of Judge Tul-
Ter, Mr.. Muta offered resolution to
appoint a committee to investigate the
whole matter of new buildings, sub
mlttlng plans for remodelling the old
ana new building and report back to
the meeting held in July.

EXPERT REPORTS
MINE WORTHLESS
STOCKHOLDERS OF GOLD BULL
FROG COMPANY ARE LOSERS TO
THE TIME OF $4,000.

LOS ANGELES, August 21.-The
property of the Gold Bullfrog Mining
Company is pronounced worthless in
the report of Bernard Gilpin, a we'll
known mining engineer and expert,
who was retained by the directorate OF
the corporation to conduct an investi-
cation two months ago after certain
stockholders had openly declared
themselves swindled. Gilpin reports
the highest assay obtainable by HIM
is 1924, while ]. c. Callahan, promoter
of the company, pronounced the same
ore worth several hundred dollars a
ton. Most of the ore Gilpin found
worthless, and he concludes that
there is no ore of any commercial
value in the present workings of the
mine
This means that there is absolutely
no hope of the stockholders receiving
cent on their investment of $129, 900
and most of this money was planted
by people who can i'll afford to lose.
The whole matter has been placed be-
fore the District Attorney, and sew
eral stockholders will ask criminal
warrants as soon as the blame can be
fixed.

OLD LEGEND.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 20. -
Coinage of the st. Gaudens design OF
gold pieces begun at the San Francis
co Mint yesterday and $4,000 Ia $40
pieces and few thousand tens wer
struck off.
AS now coined, the st. Gaudens de-
sign has been somewhat modified and
bears the legend, "In God we trust,
after the fashion of the former coin
age.
The edges have been raised a trife,
and the coins will now stack" some
thing impossible with those struck on
at the Philadelphia Mint, which are
at high premium for souvenirs.
A different adjustment was required
in the stamping apparatus from that
used in turning out the old gold coins
and a split collar, the invention OF
Mint employees, has been put into ser.
vice, that the pieces may be released
readily after being executed.
Coiner Cutter is busy getting ready
to execute copper coinage for the Phi
lippines, and expects to be turning Out
centavos by the thousands in a few

BELIEVES NEW DISEASE
RUINS cows EYESIGHT
Veterinarian Thinks Animals Blinded
In South Are Victims of
Malady.

LOS ANGELES, August 2S.-That
the eleven cows in the Giererich dairy
which have gone blind mysteriously
are the victims of new disease and
have not suffered at the hands of men
is the opinion of H. ]. Daniels, vete-
rinary surgeon who has been studying
the cases. At first there seemed to be
every indication that the COWS had
been blinded by knife plunged into
their eyes. On closer examination il
was discovered that the hole in each
eye was located in the same relative
position. The veterinary acknowledg.
es that he never heard Of similar
disease. 1t is thought possible that
small tumors have formed in the eyes
and broken, leaving a hole and des.
troying the sight.

SAGE LOANED
MILLIONS A DAY
INTERESTING FACTS BROUGHT
OUT IN REPORT OF ESTATES
APPRAISER.

NEW YORK, August 2S.-Oficial ap-
prisal of Russell Sage's estate, which
has just been filed in the Surrogates
Office, not only discloses the value of
the property but also throws interest
ing light on the extend of the call loan
business for which Sage was noted in
Wall street. The appraisers report
shows that up to the day of his death,
July %, 1906, Sage's treasury was open
to call loan borrowers, and it was no
unusual thing for him to loan several
million dollars a day.
The executors, Charles w. Osborn
and John p. Mum, on taking charge of
the estate, found a great many call
loans outstanding on the day of Sage's
death, some of which were made more
than six months previously. None of
Sage's call loans were for more than
100000 at one time, but he loaned
some firms millions altogether in a
short period. Flower & Co., for in
stance, borrowed $5OO,O 900 from him on
May Z, 1906, $25O,OOO on May 8th, $780,
900 on May % 100000 on June 18th,
100000 on July 10th. Sage's call
loans to six firms alone on July 10th
amounted to $2,6OO,OOO- The call
call loans collected by the executors
amounted to over $29,OOO,OOO.
The two executors received a good
sized fortune for settling the estate,
which was appraised at $66,356,0O0,
their commissions aggregating $780,
271. The additional expenses of ad-
ministration were $4,000. All of
Sages debts amounted to anly $37 1862
His funeral expenses were $97S4.
