CANAAN GIRLS
 WON A VICTORY
CANAAN 39, MILL RIVER 4

Girls From Across the Line Were no
 Match for the Fair Ones of the
 Happy Land and Were Easily
 Defeated.
 In the Canaan Town Hall Monday evening the girls basket ball teams of Canaan and Mill River played a game which was witnessed by an audience who occupied every available seat. The Canaan girls outplayed their opponents at every point and the contest was very one-sided, resulting in @ victory for Canaan by 8 score of 39 to 4.
 After the middle of the first half the girls from across the line, realizing that they were reoutclassed, turned their efforts toward preventing the Canaan girls from scoring but, as the result shows, they were unsuccessful even in this.
 The showing made by the home team was in marked contrast to that of New Years day when they lost to Sharon In the throwing of baskets, Misses Collins, Johnson and Shauff1er carried off the honors.
 The poor showing of the Mill River girls was, we are informed, due, in a measure, to the fact that the Town Hall floor has become very slippery as a re- suit of the combination of wax, shoe leather and various dances, while the l ed to floor where the footing is more sure.
 A return game will probably be play ed although no date for same has been chosen.
 At the conclusion of Monday evenings game dancing was enjoyed until a late hour.

RAILROAD USED
COERCION, CHARGE
MADE IN SUIT
New Brunswick Co. Says Rari-
tan Road Compelled It to
Give Latter Business.

That of the many and varied ways OF
getting business for a railroad COM
pany. coercion was employed in at least
one instance, is the allegation made in
a suit against the Raritan River Rail-
Dad Company, which came up today
before Vice-Chancellor Emery.
1t is recited in the bill hat the Amer
lean Enameled Brick and Tile Com
pany, of East Brunswick, in 1894, pur-
chased of Frank II. Earle, president of
the Raritan Railroad, eight acres of
and near South River, upon which its
factories were subsequently built. A
right of way through the and of the
defendant was also purchased and a
thousand foot long tramway was con
structed to South River, where a dock
was built. The tramway and dock,
1t is alleged, cost 81. 900.
In 1905, it is alleged, the railroad ran
a spur rack bisecting this tramway
The tracks of the tramway were torn
up, it is charged, and the brick COM
psny's right of way interrupted. The
company, cut off from it's dock, was
compelled to use the railroad to trans
port it's freight.

LIE PASSES AND
PROSECUTOR RAPS
At INTERPRETER
Warm Proceedings in Lanzillo's
Application for New Trial +.
for Assault.
LEHLBACH CALLS
AFFIDAVIT FALSE
And Charges Court Official with
Working in Interest OF
Defense.

After hearing argument on an appn-
cation for a new trial made by Rudolph
A. Braun for America Lanzillo, re-
Gently convicted of criminal assault by
a jury in Judge Davis's Court of quar-
ter Sessions, and with a Recommended
tion of mercy tackled to the verdict,
the court reserved decision today.
In the course of the reply to h APP
| plication, Second Assistant Prosecutor
Frederick r. Lehlbach caused a mild
sensation by accusing the official Italian
Interpreter, Joseph Federico, with work
ing in the interest of the defense, rather
than in that of the State.
At one time, too, referring to the
afIidavits presented by Mr.. Braun, the
assistant prosecutor shouted hotly:
''This affidavit is a dirty lie from be-
ginning to end, and l am ready to
| prove it,"
"That is not SOL" shouted Mr.. Braun
In return, and the court raped for or
der.
Lanzillo lives in East Orange, while
the complainant was Adelaide Pasciuta,
of So Rutgers street.
The affidavit, which was character
lied as "a dirty lie from beginning 10
end,' was made by Joseph Pasciuta,
a brother of the girl, living in 1853
Hamburg place, and in it he swore
that his sister was in Philadelphia or
New York at the time of the alleged
occurrence.
Several of the witnesses, besides Pros
ecutor Wilbur A. Mott, were called 10
testify about certain statements that
appeared to contradict to some extent
those made in the affidavit as pre-
scented.
When Amodeo. Pasciuta. another
brother of the girl, was asked by Mr..
Braun who told him that Federico was
assisting the defense instead OF the
prosecution he remarked meekly:
II supposed So"
This same witness, who was the
backbone Of the whole prosecution, de-
MED that he had ever tried to arrange
a marriage between Adelaide n Fer
nando Allegutti, and also that on a
subsequent occasion he had ever tried
to shoot him.
