JUDGE
IN TROLLEY
DEATHS
Federal Jurist, Director Of
Road, Faces Charge of
ManSlaughter.

NATION, ILL.,, Jan. THE Grand
Jury that returned true bills against
the officials and two of the employees
of the Central Illinois Traction Com
pany in October, following the head
on collision that occurred on that road
between this city and Charleston, in
August, has relndicted all those origi-
nally indicted, in addition placing
charges of criminal negligence against
the officials of the company. The first
indictments charged manslaughter
merely.
Those indicted for manslaughter and
negligence are: Federal Judge
Peter S. Grosscup, Marshall e. Samp-
sell, Arthur w. Underwood, Francis M.
Peabody and e. A. Potter, of Chicago,
and Fred More, of Charleston. More
was superintendent of the road. The
others are directors.
The October Grand Jury, at the re-
quest of the States attorney, was not
dismissed after the original indictments
had been returned, as he feared that
they had been too hastily drawn and
not stand if attacked in court.
Today's action, however, was somewhat
Of a surprise, as 1t had been expected
the company's successful efforts
to settle all claims for damages against
1t would result in at least a toning
down of the charges. The company
Saturday agreed to settle claims ag-
gregating Sal, 900.

GREAT GIFT
His Remedies to Be Given
Away Absolutely Free.
Ten Thousand Bottles of Ills Gnaran-
feed Rheumatism Cure TO Be Dis
tributed from the Office of
the Newark Morning and
Evening Star.
Distribution Begins Wednesday
Morning at s O'clock.
EVERYBODY INVITED
We Ask Every Sufferer of Rheuna-
tism to Call and Get a
Free Bottle.

Professor Munyon has requested TIE
STAR to make another distribution OF his
guaranteed Rheumatism Cure. This makes
the sixteenth distribution Professor Mum
yon has made in Newark.
His proposition is certainly a fair one.
He does not ask the people to invest one
penny. On THE contrary, lie invites every
body to call for a free bottle. Even the
greatest skeptics must admit that this is a
fair and generous proposition.
1t is said that Professor Munyon has
made millions OF dollars by this liberal
plan. His remedies are sold throughout
the civilized world. and he claims that
rheumatism Cure has cured more rheuma-
tism than all the doctors and medicines
that rave ever been compounded.
From the testimonials that have been
published from the leading people of the
world it would seem that his statement Is
fully justified. He certainly must know
that his remedies will do all that he claims
Tor them, or he would not distribute them
free.
Column after column Of testimonials have
been published in the leading dailies from
~well-known citizens who have been cured
by his Rheumatism Cure. His remedies
are guaranteed under the Pure Food and
Drug Law, and Professor Munyon states
that they positively contain no opium, CO.
eaine, morphine or other deadly drugs.
He claims that his rheumatism kennedy
relieves all rheumatic pains in from ) TO ,
hours, and generally cures before one
lgTfla has nPan taken.

NE EXEAT WRIT ISSUED
AGAINST NEWARK MAN.
Leon M. Berkowitz, a Local Tailor,
the observation-disclosures of
Property Transfer.

TRENTON, Jan. 1.-Since the forma-
ton of this United States Judicial Dis
trict but two writs of ne eXeat have
peer issued. In the first instance the
defendant escaped service. The second
man was Leon M. Berkowitz.
He was arrested Sunday by Deputy
Marshal Joseph Mayhem. An involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was filed
against Berkowitz July 16, last, by
Stern & Co., William Elseberg and
Ginsberg Brothers, New York creditors,
who supplied him with goods for his
tailoring establishment in Newark. The
claims totaled 81, 400. AT that time it
was alleged that Berkowitz had turned
his business over to the firm of Berko-
witt Incorporated, of which his father
in-law was the principal owner. Berk-
owitz was declared a bankrupt on Au-
gust 5 by Judge Cross.
Since that time his creditors allege
he has made another transfer, this time
to the Berkowitz Tailoring Company,
with his brothers-in-law as chief own
ers. They set forth that the considera-
ton was 81, 500; that the value of the
business is SIS, 900, and that there was
no bill OF sale. There was also a re-
cent fire In the establishment.

ST. LOUIS PRESSMEN TO
ENJOlN NATIONAL BODY?
Object to Use of Funds for Promotion of
Strikes-Have S-Hour

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Jan. 1.-THE Of
ficials of s.. Louis Printing Pressmen's
Union No. 5 has filed suit in the Com
mon Pleas Court here against the Inter-
national Printing Pressmen's Union and
George l. Berry, as president, asking
that they be enjoined from using the funds
of the international Union to promote
strikes, unless their demand for an I'M
mediate eight-hour day is granted.
The st. Louis Union charges that Berry,
as president, has ordered a 10 per cent.
assessment on the wages Of every mem
Der of the union, the money to be used as
a strike fund.
They charge that the officials are using
the $4,000 now in the treasury Of the In
ternational Union to promote strikes, ami
that $4,000 has been sent to New York Z
5000 to Chicago for this purpose.
They say that the ST. Louis Union and
other unions all over the country entered
into a contract to continue the present day
of min hours until January /, 1909, ard
that they cannot consistently demand en
eight-hour day AT once.
They ask that the officials of the Inter
national Union be enjoined from collect
ing the 10 per cent. assessment and that
the sending Of the money now in the
treasury to different parts Of the country
be ~enjoined and the money already sent
recalled.

EMp1RE-"FAy FOSTER" COMPANY.

Those who have not seen the Fay Foster
Company Mt the Empire should attend to
1t at once, or they will miss something
worth seeing. Last night before a slim
Monday night audience the company en-
tertained in a most pleasing manner There
were numerous pretty girls. good singers
and funny comedians. who kept the audi
ence in constant good humor.
The opening skit was a dress parade
scene on the battlefield. Harry L. Cooper.
who impersonated General Heine Schmalz,
and Miss Della Ross, as Marietta, assumed
the leading roles. and the Great Carroll
gave an exhibition of lightning changes
from male to female. which puzzled the
audience.
Then came the olio, which was one Of
the best seen at the Empire this season.
Miss Lena Lacouvier, as a singing girl,
earned many encores. Queen and Ross,
a comedy duo, were also up to a high
class vaudeville standard. Allen and Dali
ton played many musical instruments and
instllled a little comedy into their act.
The marvellous Hiltons gave an extraordi-
nary acrobatic exhibition on bicycles.
The final scene is laid in the Philippines.
Admiral Bob Evans is In owe with the
Governors daughter. General Weyler, the
Governor, is opposed to this love. Many
~laughable occurrences are woven into the

BLANEY's - "THE NINETY AND
NINE.n

Large audiences at the two performances
of "The Ninety and Nine" at Blaney's
Theatre yesterday attested the fact that
that old dramatic ~favorite, which has
played here once or twice before, has not
by any means worn off its welcome. Miss
Bayonc Whipple played the heroine. Ruth
Blake, as before, and played it in a manner
to please the audience. Thrilling situations
abound in the play.
The principal scene shows an engine run
ming at full speed through a forest fire,
with the hero, Toni Silverton, at the throt-
tie. Ruth Blake, the heroine, is spending
the day at a town fifteen miles from home,
and arrives at the station just in time to
hear from the telegraph operator that there
is a forest fire raging all around her home,
and unless help comes Immediately all win
perish in the flames.
She begs the villain. who has his private
car and engine, with steam up, to go to
their rescue, but, although he knows how
TO run an engine, he refuses. Then Silver
ton comes to the rescue, seizes the engine
and saves the town. Ultimately, with the
heroine's help, he saves himself from some
bad habits into which he had fallen and
makes himself worthy TO become the hus-
band of so v~irtuous a maid.
The play was written by Ramsay Morris,
whose revenues will doubtless receive q
considerable boost as the result of its stay
in Newark.
