The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-08-25

Perhaps you have noticed the recent
advertising Of the 2. Ballantine and Sons
Breweries telling of the merits of their cele-
brated Export Beer.
Maybe you have observed that this
advertising-the most conspicuous and con-
vincing ever published by any local brewery
has appeared exclusively in the STAR
Morning and Evening.
And you may have observed that this
advertising has been devoted wholly to the
exploitation of bottled beers for family use,
and the argument has been addressed to
heads of families-it has been an appeal for
family trade.
What oft?
Just this!
The Ballantine concern reports a most
gratifying response to this liberal advertis-
ing-confined to this newspaper.
And what does that indicate?
This-that the STAR has become a
powerful medium through which the home
folks can be reached-it is proof most con
elusive that the STAR has become the great
home paper of New Jersey metropolis and
that any advertiser who reckons without
the STAR will fall far short Of covering the
Newark field.

REWS|TS NEWARK
AFTER SO YEARS
DR.. Richard Harc0urt, of Liver
pool, Not Recognized, at
First, by Mother.

After an absence of thirty-three
years, DR.. Richard Harcourt, of Liver
pool, one of England's famous physi-
ciane, is visiting his Mother. Mrs. Flor
ence Harcourt, of 294 South Seventh
street. At first Mrs. Harcourt did not
recognize her son. When he left New
ark he was a boy sixteen years old.
MY coming home was very much
like that of Rip Van Winkle," said DR..
Hareourt. Newark has gone ahead
with leaps and bounds. 1 hardly
recognized the city. 1 have been
around looking for old landmarks but
many of these are gone. others falling
into decay. The only things l recog-
nized when l alighted from the train
were two old houses on Market street.
I have been through the suburbs here
and in my opinion they compare very
favorably with those of the cities of
France, Spain, Portugal and England.
Newark appears to be a very busy
city, more so than the cities abroad.
Compared with conditions in England,
business is very good"
DR.. Harcourt is a nephew of the
Rev. DR.. Harcourt, who was a Metho-
dist preacher here for many years and
who is now in retirement in Asbury
Park. DIR. Hareourt was a pupil in the
school of which the late Mayor Joseph
E. Haynes was principal.
II remember him. said the doc
tor, for the thrashings 1 got. 1 also
attended the South Eighth Street
School, of which Mr.. Scarlett was then
principal.
In 1876, during the panic, DR.. Har-
court was unable to obtain a position.
He decided to try his luck abroad, and
in October of that year sailed from
New York. Landing in Liverpool, he
got a position in a mercantile house,
where he remained eight years. study
ing at night. He entered Queens Col
lege, Belfast, and after completing his
course began the practise of medicine
in Liverpool Later he took degrees in
the Royal University of ireland, in
Dublin.
DR.. Harcourt had been practising
less than a year when he was appointed
surgeon on the English ship canal then
building. The canal contractor was so
we'll pleased with his work that he
asked DR. Harcourt to fill a like posi-
tion in Buenos Ayres. Argentine Re-
public. A short time later he was sent
to Uruguay, where he remained nearly
ten years. Completing his labors in
South America, he returned to Liver
pool, where he again practised medi-
cine. He is now connected with an
eye and ear hospital In that city.

WANAQUE HEARING
WILL Be RESUMED
Meeting at Midvale Expected to
Bring Out Further Water
Needs of Newark.

Preparations are being made for a
continuation of the hearing on New
ark's application TO the State Water
Supply Commission for the water
rights in the Wanaque river, which, &C
cording to the announcement of the
commission after the hearing yesterday,
will be held in Midvale on September
15. The meeting was set for that place
as many of the landowners of Pompton
Lakes n Pompton Township are
anxious to be heard, and do not wish TO
be put to the expense of attending a
meeting in Trenton or Newark.
Several points that were not brought
u at yesterdays hearing will prob
ably be advanced when the matter
comes up again. One is that Paterson
should not be so disturbed over its
future water supply, as it has the solu-
ton in its own hands when the nee
essity arises. At present it is being
supplied by the Passaic Water Com
pany, which has it's plant at Little
Falls, getting the water from the head
waters of the Passaic. If that city
needs more water, it will be pointed
out. it has the power to condemn and
buy out the Passaic Company plant
and pump Its own.
on the showing of Engineer Harder,
of Paterson, yesterday. should the
Wanaque be granted to Paterson in
stead of Newark. Paterson would have
TO pump the supply TO some sections,
as the height of the reservoir would
not be great enough to allow the en-
tire city TO be supplied by gravity.
Should the Passaic Company be bought
out, all the water would have to be
pumped, but the means is already at
hand. The expense might be slightly
greater than If the other plan were
adopted, but the city would be getting
about % 1000. 900 gallons a day.
Another point that was not brought
out at yesterdays hearing was the FACT
that should the State be given the con-
servation of the water supply. with the
power 10 determine how much should
be used by each city, Newark would
still be the gamer, though at probably
greater expense.
At the present rate of growth of the
population of Newark. estimated at
SO IS per cent. in a decade, at the end
of twenty years Newark will have a
population of approximately 700, 900.
Having had the start of all the other
municipalities in the Passaic Valley, II
would naturally require a larger and
larger percentage of the water each
year in comparison to the other cities.

Searches City in Vain for Widow
Who, Though Well Off,
Lived FrugalIy.
VANISHES AFTER TELLING
BIG ROBBERY STORY
Samuel Lucas, of Paterson, at
a Loss to Account for
Mothers Absence.

Fear for the safety of Mrs, Jane
Lucas, the widow who lived in a small
furnished room at 70 Richmond street,
and who reported to the police the loss
of savings bank books and securities
~aggregating $4,000, has alarmed her
son, Samuel Lucas. of Paterson.
Mr.. Lucas cannot understand his
mothers strange absence. She left
here at $50 yesterday morning and mas
not been seen since. He called at the
Richmond street address four times
yesterday, his last visit being made
late last night. He then saw the land
lady, Mrs. Nelson Bardo, and told her
that should his mother return TO de-
tain her and notify him at once. Early
today he again called. but went away
disappointed and despairing when in
formed that nothing had been heard of
the missing woman He declared he
would ask the authorities to join him
in the search.
The room which Mrs. Lucas &C.
cupied has been kept locked since her
absence. Mrs. Bardo has refused to
open it, saying that she has no right
to enter.
But the woman may not nave gone
out. h may have been suddenly
stricken and lying dead or unconscious
on the floor" a reporter said.
The landlady, however, only shook
her head. Il know she went out" she
said, =" n l am certain that she did
not return"
When the son appeared today Mrs.
Bardo declined to admit him to her
mothers room.
Mrs. Lucas was on the eve of sailing
for Sheffield, England, her girlhood
home. where she made a pilgrimage
every year. Her financial loss climb
mates the theory that she might have
sailed.
Mrs. Lucas, In many respects, was a
woman of mystery. Not even her In
innate friends knew of her wealth, and
Mrs. Bardo learned of 1t only when she
went one day INTO the widows room
and found the bed covered with money.
Ellis Uttered the floor n stocks and
bonds were lying on the chairs.
To her landlady's ~open-eyed wonder
n.ent Mrs. Lucas explained in an off
lidiiu way lldl sic idd just ldiiCh I
to some money. She swept up the cash
and the bank books with her hands
and tucked them into her bosom, re-
marking with a smile: Am / not
lucky?''
On the following day Mrs. Lucas told
the landlady that she had lost the
money. She said that the money had
slipped from her corset n when she
had felt for it not a bank note re-
manned. She then went to the police.
The fact that gives Mrs. Bardo sur
prise is that a woman with so much
money should live so frugally.
Why she exclaimed, Mrs. Lucas
frequently bought only a tomato for her
dinner. She always lived economically,
and T and everybody else who knew her
believed her to be in poor circum-
stances
Il cannot understand my mothers
absence" declared Mr.. Lucas today. Il
am trying to find some clue, but my
efforts are meeting witt no success"

Speaker, this morning received teie-
gram from the Marine Insurance Com

be excepted from this tax and called
the president of one of the companies
up on the telephone and he said he cid
not know about the hearing and had
but recently looked into the matter,
that the company was already paying
about four and one-half per cent tax
on the par value of their capital stock,
and asked that he might have an OPP

mittee. dislike very much to ask the
committee to hear him or take this
matter up over again, but the Marine
Insurance Companies in the State de-
sire to be heard. That Is about all the
details can go into, simply what talk
he made over the telephone in regard
to those Marine Insurance Companies.
They say they did not know fhouf the
hearing and that they woll like to
talk with the committee infesard to
the matter.

The question as to what extent an
abstract idea can be patented was in
volved in the case of the Expanded
Metal Company VS.. Eugene S Brad
ford, which was decided by the Su-
preme Court of the Uuited States on
Tuesday in favor of the Company.
The suit was instituted in the
United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania by
the company, which charged Bradford
with the infringement of patent
for stretching of metal, and that court
granted an injunction prohibiting
Bradford from conducting his work
in accordance with the ideas Of the
compauy's patents That decision
was oyerruled by the Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Third Circuit,
which held that the invention social
ed was not an invention at all within
the meaning Of the patent laws.
Furthermore, it would give a monop-
oily on the stretching Of metal not
{withstanding it had been known be
fore that metal could be stretched.
The Appellate Court held that the
idea of the device was valuable, but
nothing more, as it did not explain
the method of proceeding. aPat-
ents,' said that court, are not granted
on abstarct ideas The decision of
the Supreme Court reversing the
finding Of the Court of Appeals, was
announced by Justice Day A case
