Coincident with new Northwestern
time card which goes into effect next
Sunday the Bonesteel motor running
between Norfolk and Bonesteel will
be formally replaced with a regular
steam train carrying baggage and ex-
press and probably mail. The motor
has been in the Union Pacific shops

the baggage and express features do
ing substitute service.
Too Much For One Car.
In this connection 1t Is said that
motor car service on the BonesteeI
line is not definitely abandoned but
that the round trip of 244 miles a day
has proved too long a run for one car.
Having just one car and not being
able to secure additional motors at this.
time the Northwestern found it ad-
visable, it is announced, to withdraw
the motor for the time being from
service on the north line.
May Restore Motor Service.
Northwestern railroad officials have
been entirely satisfied with the motor
car experiment and have had no COM
plants to make against the car. AS a
means of handling light traffic the car
lis regarded as a successful innovation.
1t had too great task on the Bone
steel line. With existing traffic CON
ditions continuing the Northwestern
expects to see motor car service re-
stored on the Bonesteel line with an
additional motor car.
Motor May Go East.
| The motor was sent into the shops
sometime ago for extensive repairs
which have been about completed. It
is not known where the car will be
sent but it is said that the Northwest
ern will probably use it in Illinois for
short line service.
Verdigre Freight Earlier.
Save for the Verdigre way freight,
which leaves fifteen minutes earlier.
Norfolk trains are not affected by the
new card.
The new card cuts the Superior-Fre-
mont freight run. This run has been
147 miles and it is said that the run
was shortened to insure compliance
with the sixteen-hour law. The Su-
perior line freight crews will stop at
Linwood instead of going to Fremont,
dropping twenty-four miles from the
run. The Hastings line trains will
carry all shipments between Fremont
and Linwood.

FOR KILLING OF cARMAcK
Gases Against the coopers at Nash
vile, Tenn, Were on Docket
For Trial Today.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Nashville, Tenn, Dec. S.-The cases
of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Robin Coop
er and John D. Sharp, who are charged
with the murder of eX-United States
Senator Edward w. Carmack, were
on the docket of the criminal court
for trial todayra The defense desires
continuance until the January term
to give them more time to prepare for
trial. The district attorney, on the
other hand, is pressing for an imme-
date trial. Many visitors of promi-
nence came to Nashville today in an
ticpation of the hearing. The trial it
self promises to be one of the most
notable in the latter day history of
the south, owing to the fact that the
feud between Carmacll and the Coop
ers, which eliminated in the tragedy
of November 8, involved many men
prominent in Tennessee politics.
The plan of the defense has not
been made public, though the prevail
ing opinion is that plea of self-de-
Tense will be made. This is in line
with the claim made by the friends of
Cooper that the affair was merely a
street duel. in which both sides met
and began firing; that the Coopers
had tried to avoid meeting with Mr..
Carmacll, and that they were on their
way to the state capitol in response
to a telephone message from Cover
nor Patterson when the tragedy oc-
cured
The prosecution, on the other hand,
viii contend that it was a case of
premeditated murder, the result of
conspiracy, pure and simple; that Mr..
Carmack was waylaid and assassinat-
ed while he was on his way to his
boarding house; that when he left
his office the fact was telephoned
from a house nearby, and that thus
the Coopers were notified that the
editor was on his way and to be on
the alert

Out of population of $4,000,
eighty per cent. are dead. Martial

BOY GETS VERDICT
FOR FULL AMOUNT
Special to The EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS
New Brunswick, Dec. ga Jury
yesterday afternoon decided in the Cir
cult Court here that youth under
twenty-one years of age is entitled to
his earnings. George Hussey, of Me-
tuchen, the plaintiff, is carpenter and
will not be twenty-one years old until
April. He belongs to the Perth Amboy
Carpenters Union. He claimed that he
agreed to work for Charles Wright, Of
Highland Park, for 80 cents an hour.
and that there was a balance of $5l.75
due him. The defense attacked his
right to collect, claiming that under the
law father is entitled to the wages Of
his son until he is twenty-one years of
age.
The court later charged that this is
the ordinary rrle, unless the emancipa-
ton of the son is proven. The defense
also claimed that the boy had signed a
receipt "paid in full when $50 had
been paid TO him and had agreed to
work for IS cents an hour. The jury
gave the boy verdict for the full

gins with remarks made by individu-
al members, during discussion
leaving impressions which are entire
ly wrong, unfair and not in line with
the facts of record, both of your
body and of the hospital.
We now refer to the instance of
the boy injured at store of G. w.
Parisen. 1t was said repeatedly
that he was refused admittance to
the hospital. This was heralded
broadcast by one of our city papers
and commented upon by an indig-
nant public, while the facts are he
was in the hospital In thirty minutes
from time of injury and receiving
proper attention.
The bug-bear story of this was
started by a reporter in his eagerness
to comply with usual custom of the
paper he represented and concoct a
sensational story even to the sacrt-
fee of the greatest public benefactor
of the city and the regulations of Its
working and medical STATS.
We, whose duty 1t is to look after

tlon and that of the public.
