OIL E0MARGARINE SOLD
HERE GETS HIM IN FIX.
Erwin Meyer, of Jersey City, Said to
Have Been Its Purveyor-Held
for Grand Jury.

A complaint made before United
States Commissioner Samuel r. Bige-
low against Erwin Meyer. Of 81 Han
cock avenue. Jersey city, for selling
oleomargarine as butter in the streets
of this city. Meyer was held in $500 bail
for the Grand Jury.
Meyer claims to work for o. L. Lock-
wood, of 425 Jersey avenue, Jersey City,
who is already under Indictment for
selling the compound as the best cream
cry butter and cocring it by artificial
means. He was notified of Meyers ar
rest and said that he would furnish his
bail.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ten of CHIEF United States Deputy Por-
ter by Inspector William Roebling, who
saw the man selling the stuff. This
offense, IL proven. lays the culprit open
to a fine of not more than $1,000 or inn
prisonment for not more than two
years.
Several complaints have been made
recently by the housewives and grocers
ef the city of men who have been carry
ing on this trade. The selling is done
from wagons the men agreeing to fur
nish fine creamery butter at lower
price than the prevailing price and
maintain their figure all the year round.
Deputy Porter says that there are sew
eral complaints In his Office now which
are being investigated.

FIRST VERDICT
FOR CENTURY
COLLAPSE
Woman Who Was Hurt
Awarded $500 and Her
Husband $3.50.

After deliberation Of little more
tnan an hour jury, in the Circuit
Court returned verdict of $500 today
in favor of Sarah Swike and $3.50 in
favor Of her husband. John, in the
trial of their action for damages
brought against Mrs. Annie Solomon as
owner and lessee of the Century Hall.
Fifteenth and Morris avenues, part of
which collapsed November rs, 1906
Mrs. Swiize attended a concert given
in the place and was among the VIC
Tins of the disaster. Her husband
joined in the suit for loss of services.
The accident happened on a Sunday
night and a veritable panic followed.
When the timbers began to crack the
crowd rushed toward the street, the
floor of the lobby gave way completely
and the unfortunate people dropped
into the cellar by the dozens. A fire
was prevented by the police, who
turned off the electric current.
The action is the first of the kind
brought in connection with the dis
aster, and IL is likely, now that one
jury has found for the plaintiffs, that
others will follow in rapid succession.

IN
RENT WAR WIN
IN COURT
Result of Three Cases in
First District Court.
Actions Not Contested.

Three cases in the rent fight between
tenants and landlords on the Hill were
brought before Judge Raymond in the
First District Court this morning and
resulted in victories for the two land
lords involved. Those against whom
the actions were brought are Isaac
Susskind, of 217 Broome street, and
Joseph Schwartz and Morris Berkowitz,
both of 220 Broome street.
The actions were all uncontested.
The two residents of 22O Broome street
against whom the suits were entered by
Joseph Okin, of the Landlords Associa-
tion, did not put in an appearance Tbs
papers in the case showed that they
owed rent for December and had re-
fused to pay. Edward Schoen, counsel
for the Landlords Association, said
that his client did not press the suit so
much because of the arrears as that an
effort had been made to make him
lower his rents.
Henry Carless, who appeared as
counsel for Susskind. against whom a
suit had been entered by Lewis Lehr-
hoff, moved that the case be adjourned
on account of the Illness of his client
who could not appear. The motion was
denied by the court on the grounds that
it had no jurisdiction to allow an ad-
1ournment for the reasons stated.

Tribunal Decides Appeal
Affecting Big Part Of
Annual State Income.
ANNOUNCED At TRENTON
Phase of Law Whic Provides for
Assessing Second-class Prop
erty by Local Board Is De.
clared Unconstitutional,
but Tax viii Stand.
Especial to the Evening Star. J


TRENTON, Jan. I'm the Court of
Errors and Appeals today the Per-
kins main stem railroad tax law was
declared to be partially constitutional.
The decision, while it does not de-
clare the whole law constitutional.
leaves the matter in such shape that
the State will receive from the rail-
roads for taxes an increase of about
two and one-half million of dollars.
The only phase of the law which the
court holds to be unconstitutional is
that part which was forecasted in the
EVENING STAR some time ago, which
provides that the taxing of second
class property should be made by the
local assessors.
The court today holds that all the
assessing must be done by the state
Board.
When court assembled this afternoon
Chancellor Magic announced that be-
cause of the importance of the case the
court had decided to decide the matter
today and have the opinion prepared
and filed at a later date.
The Pennsylvania Railroad irrepeal-
able contract case was also disposed
of in favor of the State, the court hold
ing that the State levied the tax le-
gally.
He said Chief Justice Gummere had
been decided upon to speak for the
court, and the latter Immediately pro-
eeeded to give an outline of the courts
ruling.

NEW YORK, Jan. Two OF the
Jurors Professionally accepted yesterday
at the trial of Harry K. Thaw were
excused with the consent of the prose-
cution and defense just before the close
of the morning session today. They
were James E. Conway, a hotelkeeper
and William E. Brewer, a decorator
This action occasioned no surprise, for
it is generally felt that few of the
jurors SO far selected will be included
in the trial panel after the thirty per-
emptory challenges on either side have
been exhausted.
Two new provisional Jurors were Sc
cured at the morning session, leaving
at the time of recess nine men in the
box.
The work of jury selection progressed
slowly. The first panel of 100 talesmen
was exhausted today, and the new
panel of 100 which reported this morn
ing. was heavily drawn upon.
The first six men called for service
were all disqualified, the first one after
fifteen-minutes' examination and the
others in rapid order.
William II. Roberts. secretary to
signal concern, was selected as juror
No. 10.
Charles C. Goss, an accountant, was
selected as Thaw juror No. II.
Mr.. Littleton is thorough in his ex-
aminations, probing into the innermost
thoughts and beliefs of the talesmen.
One question asked most of the tales
men was what newspaper "purported"
accounts of the previous trial they had
read.
1t appeared that the panel would be
completed with another. but two OF
the provisional jurors selected were ex-
cused, leaving nine men in the box.
1t required thirty minutes for Mr..
Littleton finally to disqualify Dexter c.
Tiffany, stock broker, who said he
had fixed opinion, but insisted he
could render a fair verdict.
