FORMER PARTNER
ENJ0|NED FROM
COLLECTING BILLS
F. w. G. Maurer Accuses AS
sOciate of Breaking Into Safe
and Taking Ledger.

Alleging that his former partner
broke into the safe, took therefrom the
ledger and began to collect the ac-
counts due the firm, Frederick w. C.
Maurer, of Hoboken, today filed suit
against Frederick Weigel, of Bergen
county, in Chancery Court and was
granted a temporary injunction, di-
rected to Weigel, enjoining the alleged
illegal practise.
On August 4 last, according to
Maurer's bill, filed by Frederick w.
Smith, Maurer sold his interest in a
floral wire design manufacturing bust
ness at 1856 West Twenty-eighth street,
New York, known as Weigel and
Eljfalussy, taking a chattel mortgage
on all the assets of the firm, including
the book accounts.
The chattel mortgage, besides pro-
viding for a weekly payment, contained
an unusual provision, under which
Maurer could foreclose the mortgage at
any time tina he felt he was not en-
tirely secured by the assets.
This ~prerogative was exercised on
November 3 last. For several days
after the sale at auction, when the
assets were bought by Maurer, the
books remained in the safe. Maurer
declares that during this time Weigel
wrongfully entered the safe, took the
ledger and began to collect the accounts
due the firm.
A rule to show cause why the injunc-
ton should not be made permanent and
a receiver appointed is returnable next

LOOKS LIKE LEWIS
LEADER PIERCE
COMMITTEE HEAD
Republican Chiefs Say Former
Will Get Bulk of the Es-
sex Votes.
TFrom a Staff Correspondent.

TRENTON, Nov. 25.-With no hope
of capturing the speakership, although
William P. Martin will be a candidate
In the caucus on Tuesday, some of the
Essex men are behind a movement to
support Assemblyman Carlton B.
Pierce. of Union county, for the ma
jority leadership. But 1t is the belief
of leaders here that most of the Essex
men will fall into line and support
Griffith w. Lewis, of Burlington county.
The place is assigned to South Jersey
because the speakership will go to
North Jersey. to Professor John d.
Prince, of Passaic county.
It can be said on good authority that
until Monday night Henry Young. of
Essex, was regarded as a possibility
for leader In case Theodore B. Gibbs,
who was first slated. would decline.
That he would was anticipated in THE
EVENING STAR two weeks ago, when
the probability of Mr.. Lewis's success
sion was also suggested. Lewis wanted
to be speaker, but as South Jersey had
the honor last year in Frank B. Jess,
who later resigned, it was thought that
IL SilOuIu COIHe TO NO1In Jersey THIS
year. with the leadership In South Jer-
sey.
That condition gave Mr.. Lewis an op-
p%ortunity to press his candidacy for
leader after he submitted to the speak
ership logic. Generally the leader Is a
lawyer. and the custom is to make
the leader chairman of the judiciary
committee, to which all the most i'm
portant bills are referred.
Say Young May Get Craftsmanship.
Mr.. Lewis is not a lawyer, and the
probabilities are, say some politicians,
that the judiciary craftsmanship will
therefore go to some one else. 1t may
be given to Mr.. Young by way Of not
ignoring Essex too greatly with it's
eleven Republican votes. Leaders have
been heard to say that Pierce knows
he has no chance to become leader,
but that as he is a lawyer he may and

river to keep tugboats from leaving
the channel and proceeding up tow on
the surface of the buoyant but choppy
fog.
Street lamps in the city long before
daylight were invisible and o can
picture what happened to some belated
husbands. But let that pass.
At the Four Corners a hickman was
instructed to drive his fare to East
Orange. He saw that his horse was
having a hard time of it and that it
seemed to be a long and terrific uphill
pull, but he did not learn the cause
until the atmosphere parted a little and
he and his cab and fare were revealed
on the roof of the Lawyers building.
while down below him stretched the
steep inclined plane of the fog. which
they had laboriously assembled.
A Central railroad train that started
for New York today landed its pas
sengers in Philadelphia by mistake.
An energetic burglar worked three
hours trying to get into what felt like
a pretentious mansion, knowing that
the thickness of the fog protected him.
When he finally got in he found that
the house had been vacant a long time
and had For Rent" signs an over it's
exterior.
The water supply being faulty at the
present time, most of the residents of
the city took to drinking the fog as an
agreeable substitute. 1t boils readily
and mixes well in the cooking.
Now, do you believe there was a fog?

William P. Martin in connection with
his speakership candidacy.
THE only way to smash the slate"
he said, lis in a fight. and 1 am going
to keep on fighting until the contest is
settled"
Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Pierce were to-
gether during the day figuring out the
possibilities of breaking the slate.
Pierce favored a stand for William w.
Smalley, of Somerset county, for leader,
but 1t was pointed out that Smalley Is
from the same county as Senator Jo-
seph s. Frelinghuysen, who is to be
leader In the upper House, and that
there would be forcible objection to
Smalley for that reason. Pierce then
agreed to stand.
"III Probably stand"-Pierce.
IT have not sought to become a can
didate.' said Mr.. Pierce. Il thought
Mr.. Smalley was the man n he
thought / was the one. He has been
forwarding my name, and l think L
shall stand in the caucus"
The Martini Pierce combine does not
seem to be taken as an effective one
by their opponents. This Is the new
est dope: Martin will get four votes
in Essex for speaker, including his
own; he may get one in Passaic, James
G. Blauvelt's, though Mr.. Blauvelt may
support Prince, who is from the same
county. He may get Smalley, of SOM
erset; Pierce, of Union; Crossley, OF
Ocean, and possibly Ward and Scharn,
of Bergen, a total Of ten, though where
the Bergen county men stand Is not
Pierce, for leader, may have two adj
ditional votes from his county. the
Regulars need only % votes to control
the caucus, leaving % to all other in
t~erests. No combination yet made up
on % votes, while the Regulars
in all their computations have been
sure of the 23 needful votes.
If any attempt to bolt the caucus
be made the Republicans could
spare fourteen men n still nave
votes, enough to control the
House organization. The boiling ele-
ment, however, does not number four
teen men.

Yes. the fog was thick and heavy
again today. If you do not believe it,
listen-and if you discredit the follow
ing incidents of a fog-bound city's life
ask the policeman.
A resident of the Rosevllle section
had his hat and coat on n was ready
to start for the office when he found
that he could not open the front door.
Going to the front attic window he
looked down and saw the fog was
"blockading'' the door. He dropped a
stick of dynamite, shattered the fog
and then proceeded to his business.
A large chunk Of fog blocked the
Elizabeth-Newark cars just below the
city until the motorman took the oil
soaked waste from the journal boxes
of the axles. set it on fire and melted
the dense atmospheric vapor n then
proceeded on their way.
