ROLLING CHAIR TRUST
UPHELD BY STATE COURT.
Verdict in Favor of Chair Owner
Is Set Aside.


ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 5.-Heads of
the powerful rolling chair trust whose
attempt to force Marcus Sashlaff to
pay a $3.50 penalty to the City Hos
pital for refusal to uphold agreed rates
for the boardwalk vehicles beloved by
visitors resulted in failure before the
District Court here have won a vic
tory in the State Supreme Court,
which has set aside the verdict in favor
Of Sashlaff and ordered a new trial of
the case.
The verdict from the State court
was secured by Counselor Eli Chandler,
counsel for David C. Reed, one of the
managers of the chair combine, but the
date for he new hearing has not yet
been set. In recording his verdict
against the trust District Court Judge
Ingersoll declared his belief that the
chair combines attempt to force Sash

ARREST OF JOCKEY
CLUB HEADS TO
END ALL RACING
So Say Lawyers, Who See
Serious Results Ahead in In
dictments of Police.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Lawyers who
have kept in close touch with the race
track gambling situation in this State
declared today that the indictment OF
the officials of w. X. Vanderbilts
Coney Island Jockey Club and Oh
Philip Dryers Brooklyn Jockey Club,
controlling the Sheepshead Bay and
Gravesend tracks; of Police Inspector
John j. O'Brien, bookmakers and pri-
vate detectives at the tracks. sounds
the death-knell of racing in New York.
Police Inspector O'Brien, whose duty
it was to see hat the nti-bookmaking
law was not violated at the Kings
county race tracks, was indicted on a
charge Of having ''conspired to commit
crime and to aid and abet the crime OF
bookmaking."
Two detectives of his personal staff
Hugh Reynolds and Hugh Meyers
We're also indicted on the same charge.
Likewise were five Pinkerton detec-
tives-Seymour Beutler, the COM
msnder of the "Pinks;'' Albert Beut-
Ter, David Thornhill, Emil Demerle
and George Mason.
These indictments, coming on top or
the ones found by the grand jury
against the Coney Island Jockey Club,
the Brooklyn Jockey Club, John G..
Cavanaugh, manager of the betting
ring, and twenty-four bookmakers,
made it clear hat District Attorney
Clarke. of Brooklyn, intends to try to
make a clean sweep of every n con-
-N.tAl ..vtA1, I.Affft,o yArn-11aGo nf cttrh
decisions as those of Justices Gaynor
and Bischoff, which CAV the odds
layers considerable latitude.
O'Brien, Reynolds and Meyers APP
peared before Justice Dixie when the
indictments were served upon them
and pleaded not guilty. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Elder demanded that
they be held in 1880 bail each, but
Inspector O'Brien fought against this,
and suggested to the justice hat they
be released on parole. This was done
The Pinkertons, when summoned to
court, were obliged to put up $500 bail
apiece.
Today it will be necessary for all
other indicted persons to appear and
plead. The two jockey clubs are in
dicted as corporations. They may
plead by counsel, but the others must
appear in person. 1t is thought, how
ever, that Schuyler L., Parsons, presi-
lent of the Sheepshead Bay track, and
Philip J.. Dwyer, president of the
Gravesend track. will plead for the
clubs. District Attorney Clarke pointed
out that the penalty for the offenses
alleged against the clubs Is revocation
OF their licenses and fines of $500 for
each offense. There are twenty-five al
legged bookmakers, which would mean
that the fines, if the corporations are
found guilty, will amount to $1,000 for
each club.

speed and they were relieved every few
minutes by fresh crews.
After digging for thirty-six hours all
hope was practically abandoned of
reaching young Cozzens alive, but no
chance was to be taken and the rescuers
continued their efforts. They were at
their work when a muffied. far-away
human voice was heard, and II re-

BRITISH CRITIC RApS
AMERICAN EDUCATION.
Harold E. Gorst Addresses
School League OF Oranges.

Harold 4. Gorst, of London. England,
was the principal speaker at the am
nual meeting of the Home and School
League of the Oranges last night in
the Orange High School. Mr.. Gorst,
who is studying the educational sys-
lens in this country, came out strongly
against the primary schools, which
+. said Mr.. Gorst, were instituted imme-
: diately following the invention OF
printing, because printing created a de-
niand for clerks, and the primary
schools were instituted to supply the de-
mand,"
Mr.. Gcrst took a fling at the college
curriculum. declaring that the subjects
studied in the different colleges and
universities were essentially alike, Civ
ing each degree nan the same kind of
knowledge. The speaker advocated a
Workshop system of education where
by each pupil Is to be placed accord
ing to his individuality and disre-
gardinE any other branch of learning.
Mr.. Gurst pointed out that the Wright
brothers, though not educated n!vn W
science, accomplished what men edu-
Gated In science all over the world
could not.
Officers were reelected and another
Office created, that of vlce-president-at-
large, to be filed by the Rev. George

In their haste to get home on the
night-or rather the morning-of the

election officers, in filing in the re-

and made other authorizations. When
these returns were filed with the city

to make a proper return.

FROM TREE, BUT is
BUMPED BACK AGAIN,

Like his namesake of Niagara tight
rope walking fame, John H. Baldwin,
of Caldwell, had an adventure in the
air in Bloomfield avenue, that town. He
was trimming trees, n ventured out
too far On a limb. 1t bent with him
and he slid off.
He might have let himself down
easily to the street, as he had caught
the limb in falling, but at that moment
a repair wagon of the trolley line, with
a large elevated platform. rolled past.
Baldwin dropped on the platform. 1t
acted like a springboard. and he was
shot up into the tree as II out of a gun.
He failed to catch any of the limbs at
which he grasped, so down he came to
the sidewalk. His right thigh and right
arm were broken.

NEAR RIOTS MARK
FAILURE To OPEN
8 NIGHT SCHOOLS
Dereliction of P. S. c. in Not
Supplying Light Is Cause
of Much Trouble.

Nearly 1000 prospective night school
pupils were turned away from three
schools last night, Que to the fact that
the schools were in darkness. They
included pupils in the Hill section who
wanted to attend the Newton Street
School and in the north end section,
where the Seventh Avenue and Frank
lin Schools were dark and unin-
vlting. The Newton Street School is
an elementary school and the Seventh
Avenue and Franklin schools are high
schools.
The Seventh avenue building Is in
the Italian section, and there was con-
siderable excitement when it became
known that there would be no school.
Teachers were on hand ready TO open
the school and at 8 O'Clock there was a
bowling crowd outside. After a long
wait the people were told there would
be no session and they gradually
melted away.
Excitement, although not SO pro-
nounced as in the Italian section, at.
tended the forced closing down of the
other two schools,
At the Board OF Education today 1t
was said that it was the first time
electric lights had been installed in the
night schools. and the fault lay with
the Public Service Corporation. In all
there are nineteen night schools. There
was no trouble with lights In other
schools.
The Public Service Corporation ex-
planned today that the order to change
from gas to electricity in these school
buildings had not been given early
enough to make possible its execution
by last night. and that, so far as the
Franklin School and one Of the others
were concerned, the order for the
change was not given until today.
