TO WOMAN BY
LAWYER
Vice Chancellor Found No
Ground TO Support Mrs.
Schmidt's Allegations.

Vice-Chancellor Garrison, sitting in
Jersey City, yesterday dismissed a
rule to show cause why an injunction
should not issue in the suit of Maria
Schmidt against Philip Zalkind, man
ager of the Schmidt Realty Construc-
ton Company. After hearing a large
portion of 147 pages of af1davits read
by Saul Cohn, of this city, counsel for
the defendant, the vice-chancellor said
he would advise that the restraining
order that had been issued pending
the hearing be revoked.
Zalkind, who had a position in New
York city as an attorney, became
manager of the company and part
owner with Mrs. Schmidt of a tract of
land near Hackensack; She made al
legations Of fraud In her petition for
a rule to show cause why an injunction
should not be issued against the de-
PENDANT.
The dismissal Of the woman's suit by the
vice-chancellor cleared Za1Sind of the allie
cations the complainant had made against
him, and on December % the vice-chancellor
modified a restraining order so that zalkind
was permitted to sell part of a tract of
land near Hackettstown, but not to dispose
of the proceeds until he reported to the
court.
The vice-chancellor remarked that the
complainant, who lived on the tract of land,
must be very ignorant, for, as she averred,
she did not know what was being done
with the property or what the papers
were that she had signed.
1t was stated In the bill of complaint that
Mrs. Schmidt agreed to give Gustave
Schroeder, a New York real estate dealer,
money to invest in a tract of land upon
which she was to live, the tract to be
developed and divided into plots to sell.
A tract was bought at haywood, near
Hackensack, and Mrs. Schmidt agreed
to invest $4,000, Schroeder to give all his
time to develop the land, the property to
be divided between them. ~
The Schmidt Realty Construction Com
pany was Incorporated. and Mrs. Schmidt
got $23, 400. par value, of the preferred
stock, and for the $4,000 Of common stock
issued she received i2S shares and Schroe-
der 127 shares.
1t was over the apportionment Of the
stock that the trouble arose. The woman's
preferred stock was held as a lien, while
Schroeder felt that to manage the property
he should control the common stock
Schroeder sold his stock to Zalkind for
5000.
zalkind gave up his law practise. It was
averred in the suit, to devote his whole
time to developing the land He adver-
Used 1t widely and published a paper, the
Bergen County Progress, to exploit .hs
tract.
The defense showed by evidence that
Mrs. Sehmid had managed a restaurant
and saloon in New York city for thirty
years. and was a good business woman,
and that as she lived on the tract and saw
1t developed, and read the Advertisements
In the Bergen County newspaper, she

OATH MEANS
NOTHING TO
A WOMAN?
Law Students Gasp When
Sex's Reliability as Wit
neSseS Is ASsaiIed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-"Remember, gen.
tlemen of the bar, an oath neal moth
ing to a woman, and as Horace has
so truthfully expressed it, when a
woman starts out to perjure herself
all hell cannot keep her record" said
Colonel James Hamilton to two hun
bred students Of the Northwestern Uni
versity Law School last night.
"a woman always to testify
as a witness for one or two reasons
he said. Either she comes through a
sense of affection or duty to those
whom she loves, or she ONE to sat-
isfy what she regards as a perfectly
legitimate feeling of resentment.
eff it is the first of these she will
come through fire and water to testify,
and she will see things as her friend
views them. Sincerely and earnestly
she will testify that things are as she
thinks they ought to be, and you may
cross-examine until you have exhausted
the vocabulary and you will get moth
ing from Der but her ideas of what
they ought to be.
"A woman has no idea OF the sanctity
of an oath, and a woman will repeat
when on oath anything which she will
say when not on oath.
eff she comes as your witness i'm.
PEELED by a feeling of resentment BIZ
careful not to let her tell why sh,
came. Get your main point out o.
her as expeditiously as possible ant
let her go. Do not branch off into col
lateral matters or she will take thu
first opportunity to vindicate hersel
for appearing by telling the grudg,
she has against the defendant.
"On the other hand, if you are cross
examining her, be careful not to : lie
her state the grievance that ha
brought her in as a witness agains
your client unless you are sure of VIVA
it is, for no matter what a woman
does. if it be an act impelled by nat
ural and legitimate affection, the worlC
will ever forgive her."

Asyrnpathetic Friends.D

TT only they would leave me alone"
sighed an Ill woman as she tossed i'm
patiently on her pillow; "they come
trooping in at an hours, and each one
asks me the same questions until /
am nearly distracted. They head off
by asking how I feel, and If they can
do anything for me, and after that l
am kept busy saying yes II mo-
until they finally depart" n she
pushed her hair away from her fore
head with a gesture of contempt.
She was in a laxative mood, being
almost well, after a severe illness, and
after a minute or two she went on:
II am quite sure that one old lady
came with the intention of soaring me
to death, in case my illness did not kill
me. She came in grooming, n this is
about the way she greeted me, My
dear child, how awful you look! Why,
my cousin Johns wife didn't look half
as sick as you do, the whole time she
was in bed, and she died within a
week. Are you sure you have the
right kind of a doctor2 Maybe he Is
one of those new idea kind, who is ex-
p~erimenting on you with some new
tangled medicines. And do you think
you ought to have that window open?
It's my opinion that you'll get pneu-
monia IL you don't close it," and the
narrator stopped to join in the laughter
which I could hardly control. so funny
was her imitation Of the high, queru-
lous voice of her old visitor.

A NEW MODEL
CIRCULAR SKIRT.

One of the new model circular skirts
may be constructed either as a M or

the extremely close fit is obtained by
the use Of darts over the hips, while
In the latter a gored front seam does
away with the extra f~ullness. An at

constructed in brown wool batiste and
the lower portion is finished with three
crosswise bands of brown velvet. Such

VOGUE OF FUR COATS.

Individuality Is the keynote of the
seasons fur designs, says the Paris
correspondent in the January Delln-
Gator. This is particularly noticeable
in the varied types of coats seen. There
are the long, tight-1tting princess coat
the loose, full garment topped by a
yoke or sharply gored seams faring to
great width at the foot; the regula-
ton boxcoat in all lengths, the paletot
with loose sleeves, or perhaps cut on
kimono lines with the body and sleeves
in one; the tight or semi-fitting cut
away, seven-eighths, t~hree-quarter and
hip length; and short, fancy jackets OF
the Elton and bolero types-all are worn
by women of fashion today.
Fur coats are having a great vogue.
Some are simply made and devoid of
all trimming, while others are inset
with CLOTH, silk and lace, heavily en-
broidered, braided and elaborated in
various ways. Chinchilla Is a favorite
fur for evening wear, and Russian otter
is worn on all occasions. Dressy wraps
of lace, velvet and light cloth have
chiffon Innings most deliberately
trimmed with plaitings, ruchlngs, lace
insets, bows of ribbon, applique, etc.
Capelike wraps and circular capes are
made in all lengths, and with or with
out hoods. Bachor-David has just Gre
ated two charming coats which are
worthy of description. The first is of
venise lace embroidered with silver
and trimmed with white silk. At the
edge is q deep band of chinchilla. The
second Is of pink liberty satin with
broad band of tulle embroidered with
pink silk over gold. The collar and
lower part of the sleeves bear a band
of vison. A long scarf of pink nous
seine de sole is edged with golden
brown velvet.

meeting held yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. William Parker, 80 Park

Mrs. Abram Mosler read a paper OF
some length, saying in part: There is
a popular form of fatalism, which exists
as the fruit of ignorance and supersti-
ton, by the ascribing of the events of
human life to luck or chance. Another
is the accepting of religious dogma as a
part of divine revelation. This Is termed
religious fatalism, while the other is
called philosophy
Mrs. Mosler explained many reasons

papers on the subject were given by Mrs.
Charles r. Neuffer and Mrs. A. G..
