VERDICT AGAINST
AUTOMOBILIST.

The suit of William Andres against
Herman Cook for damages for injury
to his ruDabout was tried before
Justice Fielding Tuesday afternoon.
There was no jury, corporation
Counsel A. R. McAllister appeared for
Mr.. Cook and Leroy L)der for Mr..
| Andres.
The contention on the part Of the
plaintiff was that the defendant, Cook
while running his automobile Satur-
day night, two weeks ago collided
with the runabout Of the plaintiff at
the corner of Commerce and Laurel
street, breaking it down and throwing
the plaintiff and his little boy out of
the vehicle upon the street; that the
automobile driven by Cook was going
at an unreasonable rate of speed, and
was not under control o. the driver.
Witnesses were called to confirm
this contention and sought to show
that the automobile was going at a
rate of 20 miles an hour, that it first
attempted to pass in front of Andres
wagon and then turned to pass it in
the rear. but it was 30 much out Of
CONTROL of the driver that a collision
resulted.
The driver did not or could not
stop the machine before .the collision.
On the other hand witnesses testified
that the machine was going at the rate
of only six miles an hour and was
under perfect control of the driver,
Cook, who was accompanied by young
man named Mattison and 4-year old
child.
When the testimony was all in, Mr..
McAllister made a motion for nom
suit, but the motion was overruled.
The principle was laid down as
sound, that persons who lawfully use
a public street owe to each other the
duty to exercise reasonable care
Justice Fielding reserved decision
until this morning at O'Clock, and
at that time announced that he had
found for Andres. and gave Judgment
against Cook for SIS and costs.

TO SAVE BOY FROM DEATH.

Trenton, June 22-About every prom
inent resident Of Vineland, Millville
and other parts Of Cumberland county,
including doctors, lawyers, ministers,
editors, merchants, farmers and manu-
facturers, has signed petition to the
Court of Pardons asking for the COM
mutation to life Imprisonment of the
death sentence of Walter Zeller, the lad
who is under conviction for the murder
Of his grandfather at Vineland. The
burden of the petition, which brought
to the capital to-day by Edwin F.
Miller. the Vineland lawyer who de-
Tended Zeller, was that the boy is but
1e years old and that his two COM
panions in the crime, Kline Wheeler
and Herbert Grigg, escaped the death
penalty, although equally guilty with
him. Wheeler entered plea of non
vult and Grigg was convicted of MUIR
der of the second degree, each being
sentenced to 80 years in State Prison,
Another petition comes from John J.
Whitaker, who was foreman Of the
trial jury which convicted young Zeller,
in which he makes the remarkable
statement that the IL men would have
brought in verdict of second degree
murder if they had not been impressed
by the notion that the Judge would
receive no verdict save that of first
degree.
Mr.. Miller presented the whole mat
n ter to Governor Fort, reciting the fact
that public sentiment in Cumberland
county seems to be strongly against the
electrocution of Zeller because Of his
youth and previous good character.
The Court of Errors recently sustained
the conviction, and Governor Fort mid
It would be necessary for the lower
Court to resentence the lad before ne
Court of Pardons could take any acticn.
It is said to be likely that the Court
will be called in session at Sea Girt %
soon as this action has been taken, and
the intimation that Zeller might be
saved from the chair was strong about
the capital to-day.

ing and will be BURT with view of
permanency. The big pile driver is
now upon the ground and the pilings
are on hand:
The pier will go out into the bay
something near two hundred and fifty
feet. 1t will have an "L' running
some distance so that boats may land.
Capt. Garrison says there will be three
and half to four feet of water at
low tide.
The pier will be a great benefit to

THE PRODUCE
SHIPPING NOW.

Tuesday a. m. m.-Minch Brothers are
in the midst of big berry season.
They shipped their first berries
June to Boston. They are all sent in
refrigerator cars and they all 60 to the
Hub
= The Boston market does not fiuctuate
like the New York market
Minch Brothers have the best patch
OF Gandys they have ever had. No
Candy has sold for less than DC. per
quart. This gives good idea of the
quality of the berry when berries at
home have sold for and 6 cents.
Last Saturday the Gandys sold for 12c
the same as the Port Norris berry
which has fine reputation.
Minch Brothers shipped a carload
every day last week. The Chesapeake
is the next best seller to the Candy. It
is new berry.
Minch Brothers have 13 acres of
Gandys. They pay 11sc per quart to
the pickers and they have about IS
people picking. In one day they have
picked 151 crates Of 48 quarts. The
48 quart crates stand shipping better
and bring better prices.
While Stevens bring only SC. the
Candy easily sell for 12c. The Stevens
may look the best when they start on
their.journey but they seem to melt
right down like butter. Minches tried
to get their berries late-by heavy
mulching-and they will have picking
all this week. Other patches are all
finished, except Minch Brothers and F.
Glaspey, of Shiloh.
For next year Minches have an ex-
perimental patch of 2 acres of Klon-
dyke, Ruby King, Chesapeake and
Gandys.
They are trying for a berry that will
stand shipment as well as the Candy
but will come earlier.
The strawberry growers can ship
and get cash when they deliver the
goods or if they have a fine larger
patch like Mr.. Glaspey they can ship
on commission. Berries are speciality
they need extra care and attention
The crates need to be new and bright
the caps on the berries fresh and
green to bring the high prices.
Minches have rs, 900 quarts off of II
acres at Shiloh.
Next year they put out 10 acres
more One carload often brings them
$500. 90 or $4,000.
Next comes turnips for shipping.
The first load came in this morning
from William Kinkle. Minch
Brothers have 8 acres of turnips.
Then comes onions and then potatoes.
They raise enough produce to send out
car a day Of their own stuff.
There is limited trade for turnips
-one car a day is all that will sell to
advantage. They. have 25 acres of
onions. IA acres of asparagus and will
put out 4 more acres next year.
They also have 4, 900 apple trees and
1000 more will go out in the fall.
It is wonderful what Minch Brothers
have done for Cumberland county far
mers. Paying cash for all shipments
and paying good prices they have revo.
lutionized the produce business and
while feathering their own nest they
are helping to feather many more.

LIGHT ON HITTITES
SCULPTURES SHOWING THEIR AR
TIsTIc CULTURE FOUND.
Important Excavations Made by Prof.
Garstang in Asia Minor-Origin
of People and Their Race
Still in Doubt

London.-Prof John Garstang of the
University of Liverpool has made
some recent excavations at Sak-Ji-Gen-
ri, Asia Minor, and thereby adds an
Important contribution to the prob
lem of the Hittites comparable with
the results obtained by the German
archaeologist DIR. Hugo Winckler, who
demonstrated that about 1900 B. C. the
Hittftes were on an equal footing with
Babylon and Egypt as the three great
powers of the world
Indeed, two years ago DIR. Winckler,
working under the auspices of the
German Asiatic society, discovered
within the walls of the modern city of
Boghaz Koi deposit of 1900 tablets,
mostly in the Assyrian language,
which he identified as the remains of
the state archives of the Hittite ems
pire. This fact has been practically
confirmed by one tablet, which, in
scribed about 1900 B. c., contains the
text of treaty made between Ram
eses H., of Egypt and a Hittite king A
duplicate of the text of this treaty, in
hieroglyphics, has been discovered on
the walls of building in the temple
of Karnak on the Nile
Prof. Garstang, in the course of
lecture before the Royal Asiatic so
ciety, stated that further evidence of
the high state of artistic culture
reached by the Hittites in their prime
was strikingly demonstrated by the
work at Sak-Ji-Genzi last autumn, for
In one excavation in one of the many
mounds the explorers discovered a
temple in an excellent state of pres
ervation and series of sculptures. AS

these had not been exposed to the
weather the inscriptions and carvings
were much clearer and more distinct
than similar monuments of Hittite art
previously discovered Although found
In what was, in Hittite times, only a
provincial city, the sculptures COM
pared favorably with even the best
Egyptian reliefs.
Excavations was almost entirely
confined to the smallest series of
mounds, but soundings were made in
other mounds with view to ascertain
ing whether they would repay excava-
ton. They proved to be all artificial
and full of objects of historical and
archaeological interest.
Prof. Garstang, therefore, looked for
ward to ten or fifteen years work as
calculated to throw much light on the
great Hittite problem. He cherished
the hope that some of the inscriptions
would be bilingual, and would thus
open the door to an understanding of
Hittite characters, thereby providing
students with a vast new library of
ancient literature.
The first phase of the Hittite prob
lem is to determine the origin of this
people and their race-whether Aryan
Or Semitic-for the researches of men
like Sayce and de Lantsheere have
long since upset the Old Testament
dictum that the Hittites were an in
significant tribe of warriors who sold
themselves and their horses to the
highest bidder bent on warfare. Nor is
It certain that they confined them
selves to the land of the Hittites,' -
the territory between Lebanon and the
Euphrates. AS hcs been shown by re-
mains uncovered a year ago, the Hit
tites extended their sway through the
Levant until about HOO B. c. the en-
pire broke up into number of small
kingdoms. which preserved their COM
mon civilization, language, and forms
of government until wiped out by the
counter invasion from southeastern
Europe.
Sources of Information concerning
the Hittites, aside from Biblical ref
erences, are two-fold-Egyptian in
scriptioRs and Assyrian tablets In
the latter the name is confounded with
the Khata. They are first mentioned
In the annals of Thotmes Ill. of
the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty,
(1503-1449 B. CO 1t is related that in
1470 B. G. the reigning Pharaoh
marched to the banks of the Euphra,

of the Hittites, consisting of eight
rings of silver, 400 pounds in weight,

came record of Hittite attacks upon
the Asiatic possessions of Egypt, and
1t was evident that the power of these
people was gradually increasing until
Egypt was Obliged to treat with the
invaders in 1906 B. c.
The Assyrian monuments uncovered
prior to the excavations of the German
Asiatic society have invariably treat
