Allege in Petition That Harry
H0llander Has Lost His
Mind.

INVOLVED IN DECISION
Two Brothers Declare Mental
Condition OF Third Made
Transaction Illegal.

Alleging that Harry Hollander, Junior
member of the firm of A. Hollander &
Sons, fur dyers, at 1876 East Kinney
street, is insane. and for this reason,
among others, a contract between him
and his two brothers, ON one hand, and
Joseph Oxin. on the other, in a real
estate deal involving property worth
$S5O,OOO should be set aside, suit was
filed today in Chancery Court by Frank
P. Brardner and Philip Schotland for
the three Hollander brothers.
1t is set forth in the bill that Harry.
Joseph and Adolph Hollander agreed to
purchase from Joseph Okin, a real
estate dealer, formerly president of the
Beth Israel Hospital, the building on
the southeast corner of Washington and
Bank streets for $1s6, 900. This amount
was not to be paid in cash, but the
property at 304 Broad street, property
in Hunterdon street, a s25,000 mortgage
on a third tract and small amount of
cash were to be given in exchange
The other ground for the suit is the
allegation that the complainants were
deceived as to the amount of rents re-
ceived for the offices in Okin's building
and the price for which the offices were
rented.
The matter came up on the return of
a rule to show cause why Okin should
not be enjoined from parting with the
property which he received and
the mortgage before Vice Chancellor

B0|ETTNERs GET
$500 FROMP, S. c..
SUED FOR $4,000
Frank Receives $3.50 for DAM
age Done to His
Automobile.

A jury in the Circuit Court this after
noon awarded Frank A. Boettner $3.50
for, having his auto damaged in a car
collision, and his brother Frederick $3.50
for being injured in the same accident.
The brothers sued the Public Service
Corporation for $4,000
Frank A. Boettner owned the ma
chine, which was wrecked Besides his
brother, Miss Grace Bishop was in the
party, and she had also brought an
action for damages, but the jury which
heard it several weeks ago disagreed
In the present action the lawyer seeks
to recover $4,000 because his auto was
wrecked and his brother $4,000 because
he was injured.
In the course of his summing up Sem
ator elect Harry V. Osborne, counsel
for the Boettners. was gently reminded
by Howard MacSherry counsel for the
traction people, that the Bishop jury
had disagreed. This got Mr., Osborne
hot, and he retorted:
1.-THE members of that jury were
drawn by the former sheriff, but there
is change now Perhaps it is good
to have the change SO that the great
mass of the people can have hearing
and questions can be determined by
jury of ones peers"
'Oh, I voted for you,'' came from
Mr. MacSherry in soothing tones.
Mr.. Osborne murmured something to
the effect that that was all right. and
then Judge Heisley prepared to charge
the jurors.

for the conference
The Governor will entertain the SEN
ate, Democrats and Republicans, at

The chief topic under discussion, in
fact, the reason for the eonfab, was
situation has not been so grave for
years as 1t is today Governor Fort will
send in a separate message to the
Legislature devoted to this subject
alone.
The executive believes that the State
is face to face with State tax, and, as
remedial proposition, wants a law
passed at the session of the Legislature
which will open week froin today per-
mitting the State to keep an amount
equal to three-fouftbs of | per cent. out
of the total tax collected from railroad
main stem property.
The present law lets the State keep
one-half of per cent, and the rest is
apportioned among the school districts.
An effort to get law like that asked
by the Governor was defeated in the
House last winter. 1t got one vote.
