HE'S KEPT IN CELL
BY CORPORATION
Imprisoned for Contempt, He Has
Lost Track of His Wife
and Six Children.
GFrom a Staff Correspondent

PATERSON, July 2S.-"My conscience
would not let me heap lies upon lies, SO
I went to Florida, and because 1 turned
1t down a corporation got me locked up
here. Unless I am freed soon I'll lose
my mind" declared Charles Cornwell,
of Fairview. the expert b%leacher, who
has been in the county Jail here nearly
three weeks charged with contempt.
Cornwell was wanted to give testi-
non against the Standard Bleachery,
of Carlton Hill, In the suit brought by
the Kursheedt Apron Company, of New
York, but failed to appear before the
Supreme Court commissioner.
This confinement is killing me- de-
clared Cornwell. I'm losing my rea-
son. It's worry about my wife and six
children hat Is driving me crazy. I
don't know what they are doing, or how
they are getting along. When 1 went
away they had a small sum of money
and just before my return my youngest
child, little Ada, was born. 1 have only
| seen her once and she is six weeks old
now"
Cornwelrs testimony, according to his
story, was desired by the Kursheedt
Apron Company to substantiate an aff-
davit to which he had placed his sigma
ture while under the influence of liquor.
He was handed a carbon copy of the
AFFIDAVIT and when he read the contents
of the paper refused to go\on the wit
ness stand and tell a similar story. He
was told yesterday that if he would give
his testimony fairly he would be re-
leased at the end of the week.

CLERGYMAN RAPS
DAVIS FOR ATTACK
ON BISHOPS LAW
Be Custodian of Organism,
but Not City's Morality" the
Rev. ]. c. MacErlain Says.

JERSEY CITY, July 2s.-The Rev.
Heart r. c. parish, in discussing Rob-
ert Davis's attack on the bishops law
and declaration that his friends would
urge an amendment permitting saloons
to do business on certain hours Sun
day, has this to say
Mr.. Davis may be the guardian of
Organism, but lie Is certainly not the
guardian of the morality of Jersey City.
If he has undertaken to attack and
nullify the bishops law he has assumed
a gigantic contract, that will land him
where the last administration landed.
We are not politicians, but We are the
guardians of the morals of the people.
We are for that which Is right, and
right will prevail.
IF this be Organism or Davisism to
encourage the violation of a law that
every lover of good order admires and
is ready to defend, we do not want
Davisism or Organism.
at Is only O few months ago, that ex-
Judge Mccarthy attacked the bishops
law from the bench before ascending to
which he had sworn that he would up
hold that law and do justice between
man and man according to the prin-
ciples of that law. That was the be-
ginning of the end of the last admins
tration.
1--WE hope this is not the beginning of
the end of this administration, for SO
far we have great respect for many
men who now govern this city, but
from not one of them shall we brook
interference with the Bishops law rs 1t
stands"

again, this time more successfully, and
a week ago they went to live In the
Hotel Calvert, Forty-first street and
Broadway.

they got settled there Raymond threat
ened to shoot her and "a mar upstairs
named Cohen, to whom he introduced

Miss Thiess, the bride said. They had
several drinks. she related. and Miss
Thiess fell down and bruised her face.

home, where she remained over night.

Hotel Calvert yesterday she said the
clerk gave her ten minutes to change
her clothing and leave. She saw her
lawyer. and the SUMMONS for Raymond
followed.

STATE EXCISE BOARD.
Some Objection to Proposed In
crease in Number of
Saloons.

BOONTON, July 28.-In the excite
ment this town is experiencing over
the excise agitation the State Excise
Commission will be appealed to. The
Common Council is considering an ordi-
nance to permit an increase in the
number of saloons. Up to this time the
violations of the excise law have been
habitual and In a public letter a promi-
nent citizen has made the charge that
indictments WOULD have been returned
had it not been for the influence of
two members of the grand juries rep
resenting this section.
This has aroused the anger of these
men and their friends. The Anti-Sa-
loon League is busily taking advantage
of the agitation. Many residents are
protesting against the reported Increase
in the number of saloons.

Anniversary
Francisco G. Bombay Passes
His 18th Year and is Hale
and Hardy.

The seventy-fifth birthday anniyer,
sary of Francisco c. Bombay, one OF
the oldest native residents OF Pensa-
cola, was celebrated at his home on
West Romano street Wednesday night
by a gathering of the immediate mem
bers of the family, some of whom are
here from Virginia. The affair was
a pleasant and enjoyable one.
Mr. Bombay though having passed
his 18th year is as hale and hardy as
many who have not yet reached the
age of 90 years, and he promises TO
have many more celebrations in the
years to come.
MIR. Bombay bears the distinction OF
being the first to be christened in the
little Catholic church which at one
time stood on the site now occupied
by the new city hall This was built
in 1888. and had just been completed
when he was christened. The church
was the first TO be constructed after
TIE Spanish lost control of the city
and the Americans were in charge
and remained on the site for many
years.
Mr.. Bombay is not only a native of
Pensacola, but has resided constantly
in this city. Both his father and
grandfather were born here, and
lived to a ripe age, but during their
residence the city was under the
Spanish.

TAF s CHANGE
IN SOUTH SLIM
Hitchcock Was Unable to Dc
the Secretary as Much
Good as Thought.
Special TO The journal.

WaShin gton, March 5-.The determt
nation of the Tafters not to go into
the states of the favorites has been
vac ated, it is understood, owing to the
situation confronting them in the
south. Despite the tremendous exer-
tons made there in behalf of the sec
Rotary of war, his candidacy has made
little or no progress in that section.
When Frank H. Hitchcock, former
first assistant postmaster general, tied
himself up with the Taft boom, ii
was the expectation that he would be
able to swing the southern states In
line for the man whom Mr.. Roosevelt
had picked out to succeed him in the
White House The drift in the south
was away from Taft when Mr.. Hitch
cock assumed charge of the Paft
forces, and 1t has not veered since
then. 1t is already apparent that
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
certain other southern states will send
Cannon delegates to the Chicago con-
yention. There is trouble for the
Tafters in Alabama. IN Missouri and in
Mississippi. while in Kentucky Sena-
tor-elect Bradley IS doing yeoman ser
vice for vice President Fairbanks.
The situation in the south may be
summarized briefly in this wise:
There will be contrasting delegations
from nearly every state. In one dis
srict in South Ca-oERa-the frst-del-
egates have been instructed for Can
non. The Illinois man viii undoubt-
eddy capture two districts in North
Carolina, the fifth and the eighth. In
the sixth district of Alabama conyen-
ticsu has already been held and an I'M
instructed delegation named. This
means that it is hostile to Taft. A
bitter fight is being made on the sec
Rotary of war in Tennessee. In Mis-
sissippi the outlook IS bad for Taft,
while the greater part of the dele
gates from Kentucky will be opposed
to him. Taken all together, the Taft
neople are very much concerned over
the conditions confronting them in
the southern states. They expect that
the presidents influence in that region
insured success from the start They
hove encountered so much trouble In
Dixie Land that they decided DO turn
their attention To the favorite son
states. Secretary Taft's agreement In
his now famous letter 10 Herbert Par
sons 20 the contrary Notwithstanding

RAILROAD MEN
DISSATISFIED
Do Not Like the Manner in
Which Nine-Hour Law
Operates.

Many of the employees of the Louis
vile & Nashville are dissatisfied with
the nine-hour law which went into ef-
feet Wednesday morning through or
ders of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
On the local divisions the men
claim it is working a hardship upon
them. especially upon the telegraph
operators. In the city and at all sta
lions where a night and day operator
were heretofore employed three men
are now working, but their salaries
have been reduced SIS per month.
They work nine hours as operators,
and then put in three more as clerks,
but at reduced wages.
Train crews running out over the
P. & a. are also kicking for they can
not now go to River Junction and re-
turn with the train after remaining
there short time, but are compelled
to lay over at the end Of - division
for 25 hours. while heretofore they
could spend this time with thoi-. fami-
lies in Pensacola
