DAILY COURT IN
ALL PRECINCTS
IS NEEDED NOW

In police circles the opinion was be-
ing generally expressed today that the
present system of holding court in the
various precincts of the city Is I'M
wieldy and unsatisfactory, and that
some relief should be afforded at the
earliest opportunity. Captain Long, as
soon as he had assumed charge of the
Fifth Precinct, expressed it as his opin-
ion that the court work in that section
of the city was sufficiently important
to neeessitate the holding of court
every day. whereas at the present time
Judge Yuill presides at the Fifth Pre-
cinct on only two days in the week.
Tuesdays and Fridays.
On the remaining days Judge Herr
is compelled to transact all the bust
ness of the Fifth Precinct at the Sec
ond Precinct Court. In addition to the
Fifth and Second precincts Judge Herr
also presides at the Fourth Precinct
Court.
Acting Judge Freeiand is compelled
to act upon all the court business
handled in the Third, First and a por-
ton of the Sixth precincts.

TEN INCHES OF
LAND LONG IN
DISPUTE SETTLED

A strip of land ten inches wide,
whose ownership half a dozen survey
ors were unaple to agree upon, Is DIS
posed of in a decision fled today by
Vice-Chancellor Howell in the suit
brought by Charles H. Stewart, a New
ark lawyer, against David B. Courier.
Mr.. Stewart is the owner of
ffty feet of land in Bruen ave
near Clinton avenue, Irving
ton. He wanted to buy the ad-
joining fifty feet owned by Mr.. Courier
and made a contract to do so. When
it was surveyed, however, ii vas found
Mr.. Stewards fence was ten inches
over the real boundary line by the
co~mplainant's surveyor.
Mr.. Courter's own surveyor, Harri-
Van Duyne, found that the fence
was correctly situated, and the agree
lnent fell fiat. Whereupon, Mr. Stew
art brought suit to compel the re-
moval of the fence from his property.
The vice-chancellor decided that the
ten inches belonged to Courier; but
only on the condition that Stewart at
once purchase the fifty feet bargained
for. This still leaves the mooted ques-
ton of the correct surve undecided.

BALLOONS TO RACE

Los ANGELES, Cal. Nov. 1a.-One
of the most spectacular balloon races
in the history of American aeronautics
will be started from Los Angeles Eext
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, when
the two monster balloons American
and Omitted States" will be sent away

The w~ell-known ~aeronauts, Captain
A. e. Mueller and Horace B. Wild, will
be in the baskets, each accompanied by
a navigator. Captain Mueller will
command the American" and Mr..
Wild the United States"
A remarkable feature of the race is
that the great aerial craft must sur
mount three lofty mountain ranges in
their flights toward the east, necessi-
tating the attainment Of a height hith-
erto unaccomplished. The Sierra Madre
range, along the cost, h Sierra
Nevada, further eastward, and the
Rockies, constitute the three barriers
that must be hurdled by the big bal

F~REEHOLDERS MAY
DECIDE ON PLUMS
TOMORROW NIGHT
Republican Members Will Ignore
New Idea in Important
Conference.

Republican freeholders-elect will have
a conference tomorrow night at the
county committee rooms, when the lay
of the ground, politically, will be ascer-
tanned, and also the lay of the indi-
vidual members, so far as they are to
New Idea Republicans. There will be
twenty-eight Republicans in the new
board and four Democrats. or the Re
publicans 1t is claimed hat seventeen
at least are Regulars.
In the proceedings of the freeholders,
the same policy will be followed in re-
gard to the treatment of New Idea
men as has been settled on in Trenton
by the State leaders; that is, to ignore
the New Idea people completely.
One of the subjects for discussion, it
was said today, would be on the ques-
ton of contesting the civil service law.
This plan, however, may be dropped,
for the law contains a paragraph to
the effect that If n one part of the
law is found unconstitutional no. other
part of it shall be affected.
recommendations will probably be
made for the big offices, and then there
will be fights in the courts between the
present holders n the appointees.
1t is likely that Wallace Ougheltree,
for a long time freebooter from East
Orange, will be the director, succeed
ing Michael Barry, of Orange.
There are several candidates for clerk
of the board to succeed Joseph A
Wright, the present Incumbent. includ-
ing August Soffel, who formerly held
the position.

 But nothing could lose this young chap It was true that the girl declined to meet the young fellow, to hear anything about him or give him any show for his money or love at all.
 But you take one of those fellows who have money and sense the continual spurn- ing act (admitting he wants the girl-an important fact. of eourse) will only add fuel to the flames
