WANT A FERRY BETWEEN
NILES AND PALO ALTO
Residents in Two Towns Be-
Iieye 1t Would Aid Business

PALO ALTO, July 3.-Residents on
both sides of the bay are urging the
construction of a ferry which will
connect the region In the vicinity Of
Niles with Pafo Alto. The university
town is the nearest city of any size to
the region in question, but the inter-
posing arm of the bay has thus far
prevented any traffic of moment. Local
capitalists are somewhat interested in
the project, and IL is probable that
ferry will be built connecting Cooley's
landing and Newark.

REFORMED CONCERN STAYS

Judgment Against Waters-Pierce Oil
Company Suspended and Its Right
to Do Business in State Restored.
Decision Considered a Great Victory
for the Minority Interests of Latter
Corporation.
Jefferson City, Mo. March 10.-The
motions by the Standard Oil company
of Indiana and the Republic Oil com
pany of Ohio for a rehearing of the
custer suit recently decided against
them and for a modification of the
Judgment were overruled by the Mis-
souri, supreme court. The position of
the Waters-Pierce Oil company was
upheld, the motion of the attorney
general for an absolute custer of the
Missouri company being denied, the
compliance with the court order re-
Gently filed by the company approved
being suspended.
The effect of these decisions is to
expel the Indiana and Ohio companies
from Missouri and to restore the Wa
ters-Pierce company, 60 per cent OF
whose stock is held by the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, the right
to do business within the state The
Standard Oil interests are expected to
appeal from the decision and carry
their case to the supreme court of the
United States.
The decision Is considered a great
victory for the Waters.Pierce com
pany and incidentally for the minority
interests of that concern, who claim
to have been making unavailing ef-
forts to free the company from con
troll of the New Jersey corporation.
Oppose Standards Plan.
With this object in view they declined
to approve the proposition made by
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
that that company be allowed to con
tinue business in the state under a
trusteeship composed of representa-
tives of the court and the company.
This proposition would have given
to the state a measure of direct con-
troll of corporations affairs, had it
been adopted by the court. But it
was ignored in the announcement by
the chief justice, which simply stated
that the motion for modification OF
the custer decree had been overruled
With the judgment of custer made
absolute against the Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana and the Republic Oil
company these concerns must now
pay their fines of $4,000 each and
cease business in the state.

LOOKING FOR

A Newark Butcher Digs in

He Saw ina Vision.

CIairvoyant Increased Hop

Wealth Awaited Him.
ON The -COWAN FARM

A story has Just come to light
which concerns the old Cowan farm
between Fords and Metuchen: the
pots of gold which Captain Kidd is
supposed to have buried somewhere
liam NJ Hopler, proprietor of a
butcher shop at 112 North Seventh
street, Newark.
Mr.. Hopler some time ago had a
dream that there were buried on the
Cowan property, 100 feet from an
upturned tree, several pots of gold.
His father used to own the property
and Mr.. Hopler could not forget the
vision. He told some friends about
it and they advised him to see a
clairvoyant He did so and, after
going into a trance, she recited in
part what he had dreamed and locat-
ed more vividly the supposed hidden
treasure
Mr.. Hopler made up his mind at
once to investigate and obtained per-
mission from Benjamin F. Mayo,
who occupies the property now, to
look for the buried wealth. Mr..
Mayo, who is employed at Sibley G.
Pitman's In this city, gave the de-
sired permission and Mr.. HOPPER
went to the farm. He soon found
the upturned tree and, measuring
100 feet in the direction defined, he
began to dig How many hours he
dug cannot be learned but anyway
the butcher finally gave up in despair
and returned to Newark disappoint-
ed but wiser man. 1t is under
stood that he has not given up all
hope of finding the treasure, but is
for the present satisfied to toll daily
in his shop.

South Amboy, Sept. 8:-The ordi-
nance granting new franchise to
the Jersey Central Traction Company
through South Amboy so as to avoid
the Wall, was passed ON
final reading by the South Amboy
council last night. Before taking
action the meeting was thrown open
for anyone who SO desired to speak,
but no one arose. Meesrs. Wilson,
Brown and Brindly we're present,
representing the traction company.
Shields for Lights.
When the ordinance was on second
reading Mr.. Berrian asked If that
clause referring to the cars being
lighted by headlight meant that
there would be the immense lights
that blinded persons and were really
dangerous to vehicular travel Mr..
Brown stated they were using shields
on the lights all over the system,
that they put the shields over the
lights when entering towns and the
shield exhibits the name OF the town
or city to which the car is going.
Mr.. Manhattan stated the proper
ty-owners on Feltus street were
complaining that the grade at which
the tracks were laid on that street
caused water to flood the property
and asked whether the trolley track
was in conformity to the grade of the
street. Mr.. Wilson stated that un-
der the terms Of the ordinance they
we're compelled at any time to con-
form their tracks to the grade estab-
lished; if it was their fault now they
would correct it.
Mr. N{lcor s1bTaiftad 6Io he
consents of the property owners
along the route covered by the fran
chise.
the ordinance was. upon resolution
by Mr.. Berrian, taken up !oI~ third
and final reading and pHssed.
Repeal Old Ordinances.
Mr.. Wilson stated in order to clear
up the records he supposed the coun-
ell would desire a repeal of the for
nance repeating all previous ordi-
nances. This was passed upon first
reading and laid over.
Mr.. Wilson thanked the president
and members of the council for the
courteous manner in which they had
disposed of the matter, that the ap-
plication had been made with the de-
termination to proceed as speedily
as possible with the work; that in all
his experience he had never known
an ordinance in which the interests
of the city we're so well preserved as
this one and one in which 1t was so
burdensome to the trolley company
and he thought anyone who would
say the city had not made a good
bargain was not familiar with the
terms of the ordinance.
