SUIT AGAINST
AU T0IST is
TRIED TO-DAY

The suit of William H. Mccormick
vs.. William H. Hesser was COM
menced this morning In the district
court for 5000 damages alleged to
have been sustained by the plaintiff
as the result of being struck by Mr..
Hesser's automobile. The court room
was thronged, and almost every law
yer in town was on hand.
Shortly before IL o'clock, after
three witnesses including the plain
tiff, had been heard, Sherrerd Depue,
: of Newark, a member of the law firm
of Lindabury, Depue and Faulks,
counsel for the defendant, moved for
nonsuit, on the ground that the
plaintiff saw the automobile when 1t
approached him on the night of Sep
tember 16, at High and Market
streets. Mr.. Depue stated that the
plaintiff saw the machine and yet
walked into it. Senator George s..
Silzer appeared for the plaintiff.
Judge Edward w. Hicks, of New
Brunswick, sitting in the place of
Judge Adrian Lyon, denied the mo-
tion for nonsuit, on the ground that
all the evidence had not been heard
other than that already given.
G. Howard Smith was the first wit
ness called. He explained diagram
of the scene Of the accident Mr. Nc
Cormick, the plaintiff, was the sec
ond witness called. DIR. F. G. Henry
corroborated the story of Mr.. McCor-
mick, stating that the plaintiff suffer-
ed extreme nervousness after the
accident and had to take nerve
tonic. He was also bruised and cut
After the motion for nonsuit,
William H. Hesser, the defendant,
was called. He told of an accident
at Woodbridge earlier in the same
evening which punctured tire and
compelled him to drive the car slow
iy. According to his testimony he
was not going as fast as alleged,
which was fifteen to twenty miles an
hour. The car was of low horsepow-
er, seating four persons. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hesser and two other ladies
were in it at the time.
The lawyers commenced to sum up
at 1:45 o'clock. Mr.. Depue was the
first to take the floor. For the re-
fense he made the statement that,
according to the testimony already
given, Mr.. Mccormick tried to cross
the street before Mr.. Hesser's auto
mobile and, in doing SO, he ran into
the car. George S. Silzer, for the
plaintiff, in the absence OF Joseph e.
Stricken, in summing up, told the

THAW AS A
MURDERER
Special By United Press Wye: 1:

NEW YORK, Jan. S0:-A blunt
demand for the life of Harry K.
Thaw was the climax of the wonder
full summing-up speech of District
Attorney Jerome today. Executing
an obvious flank movement, Jerome
switched from the stand he took in
his speech at the first trial, when he
sought to defend the name of STAN
ford White, and declared he believed
that Thaw's victim was guilty of all
the vile, despicable crimes with
which he was charged. He even ad-
mitted that he believed that White
wronged Evelyn in a manner that no
woman could be expected to forgive.
Then Jerome wheeled dramatically
and denounced Thaw as a cowardly
murderer who had slain, not to re-
venge HIS wronged wife, but to salts
fly deep-seated hatred and undying
grudge against a man who had
branded him as a degenerate and a
dope fiend He ridiculed the insanity

There is just one place." lamented
the grocer's clerk, where woman is
the friend of woman. That is in a
grocery. II a woman happens to get
'stung' with a poor brand of tea or
coffee or soap or anything else, she
takes precious good care no other
woman whom she can influence shall
suffer from the same cause. In buying
anything else women go on the prin-
clple that misery likes company, and
allow their sisters to run into all kinds
OF errors they themselves have been
guilty of. But in the matter of buying
groceries they treat each other like
Christians. For that spirit of helpful
ness the grocer usually pays. 1t is re-
sponsible, for example, for all those
packages of coffee over there in the
corner being thrown on our hands.
one woman tried a sample. She didn't
like it, and she made it her business
to see that no other woman whom
she met in here should throw her
money away on that sort of coffee.
And it is the same way with every
thing else-if n woman sees another

THE State of New York has re-
established corporal punishment
in the public schools. This is con-
sistent and will meet the hearty
approval of the public school
crank, who is ''it'' these days. Let
us have free school-books, free
meals, free clothing, free doctors
and free laundries, for the children.
Let the State assume all the bur-
den and turn the parents out to
grass. With procreation and wet
nursing their function should end.
The a~fter-rearing of the child, his
rewards and his punishments,
ought to be the care of the public.
At an early date the State can es-
tablish a religion with free church
es and free preachers, and saliva
ton will then be really free to the
oncoming generations. The pres
ent half way business is slur up
on civilization. 1t is illogical and

Respectfully,
M. r. SMITH.

Ed. Register-I see by the REGIS
TER that the Iron Mountain pas
senger service is still unsatisfac-
tory to the good people of Ironton,
and that they are petitioning the
railroad officials for redress. 1t
reminds me of an old story of a
teamster who used to have a long
hill to climb, along about the CEN
ter of which his team always
baked or stopped for a rest, and
the teamster went to a nearby inn
age of the Virgin Mary, and pray
ed to her to make the team pull,
which it usually did, after getting
a rest. But one day the team was
more tired than common, or the
load was heavier, for it obstinately
refused to pull, even after repeated
praying on the part of the team
ster. Finally, becoming angry, he
took an ak and began battering
the image, when the team, taking
fright at the noise, started up the
hill. "There," said the driver, 81
knew you could make them pull if
you wanted to!" Moral-If the
good people of Ironton will regis
ter a few votes for public owner
ship of railroads they might wit
ness a change in the attitude of
the railroad officials.

heretofore will guide them safely
over the breakers, and through
the storm into a calm and peace
full sea. VIII it, or is it sinking
in the horizon? In my openion,
it is sinking, and now, permit me
to say, that much depends upon
the courage, good sense and vir-
ility of those charged with, and
who have assumed, the leader
ship in Congress-in Congress and
nowhere else. Cheap palaver will
not do the work, but it must be
the utterances of wisdom in State
affairs and policies. The hour for
fierce courage has come among the
Democrats and not a time for
trailing of the flag, but it should
go high enough for all the world
to e and know it.
In a letter to the Pennington
Times, a month a go, l said that
the Republicans did not intend to
to do anything. Stand pat on all,
is their policy; And they say
"the money question will settle it
self. Let it alone. We must not
now, on the eve of a presidential
election, acknowledge our weak
nesses."
To give the national banks a
tighter hold on the people (which
the inner circle would like to do)
at this time they consider it would
be dangerous, but if things go at
the next election as the Republic
cans would have them go, the
money legislation that Saints
John and Pierpont and their de-
voices want, will be swiftly &C.
corded to them at the short ses-
sion of 19OS-0&
So, do not blame the Democrats
because there is nothing being
done in Congress. Men of the
DeArmond stamp are chatting un-
der this regime, but what good
does it do?
Respectfully,
