A SCOT ON AMERICA.
Rev Mr.. MofFett. Of Newark. Speaks
Before Mems Club.

! Rev. Mr.. MofRett. of Newark Spe AXIS
Before MEMS Club.
"The American as the Scot Sees
Him." as interpreted by the Rev. r.
Aird Moffett, of Newark, proved to be
a most interesting character study
DR.. Motrett spoke before the Mems
club of the First Presbyterian church
on Tuesday evening and his address
was much appreciated. The Scot,
said the speaker, appreciates the
American, in fact the whole of Eus
rope is compelled to do so. American
products and manufactures are to be
found all over the continent and are
classed always as. being the best in the
foreign markets. The American busi-
ness man, too, said Mr.. Moffett was
the wonder of the Scot. His methods
and ability amaze the more staid Eu-
ropeans.
American political corruption was
characterized as being an outgrowth
Of the rapid growth of the country.
In the hurry and rush onward little
attention had been paid to the moral
side, while efforts had been concen-
trated upon the development of the
material and intellectual side. In
time the speaker thought these prob
lens would be solved as all other pre-
vious trials Of the country's existence
had been settled.
In speaking of the poverty stricken
people OF this country and Europe the
lecturer said that while in European
countries the very poor were hopeless
and had no ambition in this country
they were full OF hope and although
they might be poor to-day the thought
was always with them that :" we are
in America and tomorrow we shall be
rich"
The club elected officers as follows
Vice president, David f. Barkman ;
secretary-treasurer, William e. Day,
assistant, f. Ernest Ely; executive
committee, the Rev. William Russell
Bennett, Charles S, Bird, Harrie It.
Hull, George W. Gore, Henry C. Pit
ney, jr., Professor Ira w. Travell and
DR.. William E. Wheelock. The elec-
tion OF president was laid over until
another meeting.

THREE BURIED ALIVE.
Collapse of TjmDers in MT Hope Mine
Enrombs Men

Collapse of TjmDers in Mt. Hope Mine
Enrombs Men
Three men were buried alive by a
cave-in at the Leonard mine Of the
Empire Iron and Steel-Go-, Mount
Hope, N. j., Wednesday night, and
only one body has been recovered. The
entombed miners who are under thirty
feet of earth-and rocks in a drift five
hundred feet below the surface, are
Andrew Betner, Michael Rosnack and
Frank Krania.
According to miners who were in
the drift at the time of the cave-in
and who narrowly escaped with theis
lives, there was no warning of the
disaster. The three men were at the
end of the drift when the wooden
props gave way and tons of earth fell
upon them. The oUher miners ran to
the shaft and were hoisted to the sur
face. One man who was pinned down
by large rock was rescued.
Scores of men were set to work to
extricate the imprisoned miners, and
after working without ceasing all
night and all Thursday they uncovered
the body of Michael Rosnack.
At the offices of the company it was
said tha5Nthe drift was well timbered
and the supports were considered
strong enough to hold, An investiga-
tion will be made as soon as possible.

COURT EsNDS BAD FAITH.
Gives verdict in Favor of Noah
Rogers Against Nrrs. Genung.


Rogers Against MRS. Genung.
In an opinion from the court of
errors and appeals in the suit of Noah
G. Rogers against Helen Fountain
Genung, wife Of Harvey J. Genung, a
Morristown real estate dealer, decision
is given in favor Of Rogers, and the
court declares that Genung, while
confidential adviser for Rogers in a
reality deal, betrayed his trust. The
case went before the court on an ap-
peal from chancery, where the bill
was dismissed. The bill petitioned
that Mrs. Genung be reqnired to as
sign to Rogers a contract OF sale for
a piece of property which she obtained
through the action of her husband
while he was agent for Rogers. Rogers
sought to buy in 1907 what are known
as the Murphy and the Conkling
tracts. Genung got the Murphy tract
for Rogers, but delay occurred in get
ting the Conkling tract.
Genung reported June 4th, 1907, that
the Conkling tract could be purchased
for 81 900 if Conkling could be permit
ted to occupy the property the rest of
his life. Rogers instructed Genung to
see If possession could not be had at
once if higher figure were given, and
instructed Genung to have Henry @.
Pitney, jr.. Rogers attorney. draw Up
the contract. Genung had Mr.. Pitney
make a search.
Genung told Pitney later that Rog-
ers was out of the deal and asked for
the papers, which Pitney gave him.
Rogers told Genung that night to in
crease the offer to $4,000 to get inn
mediate possession. At an interview
between Genung and Rogers the latter
told Genung that he had no right to
represent any other person to buy the
tract.
The opinion says that the court has
no hesitation ia finding from the evil
dence that Genung engaged to act for
Rogers in the negotiation, and that q
duty arose on his part TO act with en-
tire good faith and loyalty for the fEr-
therance and Advancement of the in
terest of Rogers. After undertaking
to negotiate for Rogers, the opinion
goes on, and after he had obtained
Rogers confidence and learned that
Rogers wished toabuy both properties.
Genung took advantage of that knowl-
edge and contracted for the purchase
in the name of his wife.
The testimony shows, according to
the opinion, that after Genung had
opened negotiations he suspected that
Rogers was acting for George W. Jen-
kins, who owns land adjoining the
tracts and, the court says, it is a
fair inference that he obtained con-
troll of the title for the purpose of
making complainant pay largely in
creased price, and also that " it
seems TO US THAI it is a clear case of
bad faith and disloyalty to the inter
est Of one who for whom he had en-
gagged to act.
1t was urged in behalf of Genung
that as he had the property for sale
he was the agent of the vendor, but
the court ruled that nothing was
found in the case upon which TO base
such an agency.
Rogers was represented by Alfred
Elmer Mills and Collins Y Corbin, and
Mrs. Genung by Charles A. RaJhbun
and R.V. Lindabnry.

DRIVE FROM REDLANDS TO
BEAR VALLEY IN RUNAB0UT
Two Men Make Difficult Trip Up
Steep Hills Over Almost lm-
passable Roads

REDLANDS, June ga drive from
'Redlands to Bear Valley and return, a
distance of 208 miles, in their Ford
runabout, during which they encoun-
tered grades of 25 per cent, has just
been made by w. E. Rabbeth and John
w. Gill Last Friday they went to the
mountain resort in company with j.
II. Fisher and Harold Haver in their
Ford runabouts taking along some
baggage. The road is through CaJon
pass to Victorville and thence across
the desert to the Gold Mountain coun-
try and through the mining town of
Doble, around Upper Bear lake and
thence into Bear valley. The trip up
required fourteen hours. The 20 per
cent grades were struck northwest of
Doble, seven miles there requiring
seven hours to ascend. In some short
climbs it was necessary to push the
machines. Returning Messrs. Rabbeth
and Gill came down In six hours and
forty-nine minutes for the 104 miles.
The Fisher machine will come down in
few days.
Automobile trips to Bear Valley are
rare occurrences, the first cars going
up from Redlands late last fall, when
the high power machines of Henry
Fisher and D. C. Lefferts went through
with a house party of a dozen persons
for a. week at the Fisher cabins. This
spring a few machines have started
and one or two gone through, but in
most cases they have been forced to
give up on the desert grades. A big
touring car has been stalled on the
grade for two weeks now waiting for
repairs.
