While William staniar and party Of
friends were on their way to Newark
last evening in Mr.. staniars automobile,
they were showered with stones and pieces
Of sod as they approached the covered
bridge at Roseville, east Of Newark.
The missiles were hurled by party Of
young men who were stationed near the
bridge In Mr.. staniars party were some
women, and fortunately none Of them
were hurst by the pieces of dirt ana
stones.
Mr. Staniar demonstrated with the
young men, and then proceeded to New
ark. lie notified Constable Jack" Chai-
mers, and after the other members Of the
party alighted Mr.. Stanar took the con-
stable out to where the attack was made
upon the party. Mr.. statiar did not care
TO have arrests made but the constable
reprimanded the young men severely and
let them know that on the next COM
plant he would arrest every participant.
The sudden trip of the constable from
Newark caused some excitement in that
town for awhile.
Mr. staniar is treasurer of the Delaware

to the mission because a number OF tho
Poles including the relatives OF the young
woman, had gathered about the house,
with intention OF hindering her from conf
ing 70 the church.
"The members OF the congregation Of
Bethany Baptist Church have no reason
for being worried or fearful Of any effort
on the part OF the Poles to harm the
church property or any one attending the
regular services, because those who are
converted and join the mission are the
ones being prosecuted; some losing their
position the next day on the ground that
they are now Protestant and traitors to
the Polish interests OF this city.
Those who are acquainted with the
characteristics OF the Polish people Of this
city appreciate the fact that they are TO
large degree honest, Industrious thrifty
and peace-loving citizens: hence Il Is un-
fair 10 misrepresent the Poles by publish-
ing rumors detrimental TO their good name
because Of the prejudice Of a few misin-
formed individuals among them"
Mr. Westfal also gave a copy Of an
anonymous letter he received intlmatng
that violence might be attempted.

In Superior Court this morning the
damage case Of Jordan VS.. The Della
ware and Atlantic Telegraph anc rele-
phone Comuany was still in progress.
Philip Kennard, for the defence who
was the first witness called, testified
that he was a right OF way man for
the company and that in 1905 he got
permission from Marshall Jordan, hus-
band Of the plaintiff, to erect the poles
and in the agreement tree trim
ming clause was inserted. Witness
said Jordan signed the agreement. In
cross examination Kennard denied that
In February 1908 he said in the pres
ence of John, Harvey and Lydia Jor-
dan, Mrs. Eastbur nand Mrs. Johndan
that he had made a mistake in not
finding out who owned the farm before
the telephone work was begun.
Richard Penn, foreman of the con-
struction gang, testified that Mrs. Jor-
dan denied him the right TO cut the
trees. Harvey Jordan. her son, prom
ised that he would get the permission
TO trim the trees provided the CONF
pany would give a free telephone.
Howard Groff, who was lineman at
the time. corroborated Penn regarding
the installing of the telephone and de-
MED that he had been away from the
Jordan house that morning.
George Stewart, Trouble man" for
the company, testified that late in the
fall OF 1907 he trimmed the pear tree
on the Jordan farm. It had not been
trimmed before that time. he said
Mrs. George Stewart. wife of the. last
witness, said she had heard a young
man at the Jordan home tell her hus-
band that he had cut down the tree
because il was md good"
Robert Foreacre a lineman was ask
ed by MIR. Neary. of Ward and Gray.
If Marshall Jordan knew the trees were
to he trimmed Mr. Knowles objected
to the question and asked that all the
testimony regarding the alleged agency
Of her husband, or son in this case he
stricken out. Mr. Knowles said the
plaintiff had no knowledge Of the tree
cutting until it was done He added
that the husband nor the son could
bind the wife under such testimony.
Judge Pennewill said the whole ques-
tion was whether Mr. Jordan had any
instructions to act as agent for the
plaintiff
Mr.. Gray said that acquiescence was
shown by the plaintiff when she al
lowed the poles 10 be erected and that
she knew the agreement had been
made by Marshall Jordan.
The court announced that the ques-
ton would be considered during re-
cess.
