not guilty before Judge Davis in the
Court of Quarter Session today. to a
charge of practising medicine without
a physician's license and was held for

ME{kER WATER
RULING IS MADE
BASIS OF BIG SUIT
Mrs. Mary Ward Asks $4,000
Damages of East Orange
and Corporation.

Papers have been filed in the Su-
preme Court in a suit by Mrs. Mary
Ward, owner of a twenty-three-ac
farm at Livingston, To recover $50, 900
damages from the city OF Last Orange
and the Commonwealth Light Com
panys of Summit, for the diversion of
percolating waters from her property,
which formerly found an outlet through
the many springs on the land
The case Is the natural result and
only one of the many which will follow
the recent finding of the Court of Err
rors and Appeals in the Meeker case
the decision in which was written by
Chancellor Pitney. This finding was
contrary to the old English common
law that has prevailed for moro than
10U years, and which was depended
Upon by the many water companies
deriving their supply from wells. Preyi-
Gus to this ruling IL had been the Gus
tom of property owners to sell these
waters, but this right Is now limited
SO that one may divert only what is
necessary for private use.
In the Meeker case it was charged
that the city of East Orange diverted
the waters following the course of the
Canoe brook, but apparently the prop
erty of Mrs. Ward has suffered still
more damage. Formerly, with the aid
of the water from the springs, the land
was ideal for dairy purposes and was
estimated to be worth S23, 600 When
East Orange and the Commonwealth
Company sunk wells and took there
frons enormous quantities to sell to sur
rounding communities the springs
ceased to give their wonted supply and
as result the land dried up.
Representations were made to the au-
thorities of East Orange and a propo-
sition to sell was made by Mrs Ward
This offer was not received kindly, the
authorities stating the law gave them
right to take the water from the
wells. The Ward property rapidly de-
preciated in value and today, it is said
is hardly marketable
The result of the AIeeker case was
watched with interest by Mrs. Ward
and Immediately upon its conclusion
she instructed her counsel to bring suit
It is said this is but one of many tc
follow.

JUDGE HAHN AIDS
POLICE CRUSADE
FOR A CLEAN CITY

an Taken in Raid Strikes

"The people of Newark want 10 keep
their city clean, and IL l can do any,
thing from this bench to help them you
can be assured that | will. ! am salts
fed that the defendant il guilty of d
violation of section 445 Of the city or
dir ance in connection with 81 Lafayette
street, and 1 do not propose to handle
these cases with mercy. I shall not
impose fine either on this defendant
or on any others who are brought BE-
fore me. / sentence her to the Essex
County Penitentiaryi for the period of
niIety days"
Thus did Judge Hahn. in the First
Criminal Court today, take a stand for
the cleanliness of Newark when he
sent Name Wendell to the peniten-
tisry. Mrs. Wendell, with several
others, was captured after a raid on
the Lafayette street house last night
by Captain Ryan. of the First Precinct.
and Plainclothesmen Smith and King.
With Mrs. Wendell in the house at the
time of the raid was one woman, Grace
Jeffry, % years old, no home. and four
men. The woman was represented by
counsel, and through him asked for a
jury trial. The court granted the re-
quest, and set the trial for Friday
afternoon, fixing ball in the meantime
at $1,000. The men were held in $500
bail for their appearance on Friday,
but no charge was filed against them
In the house, on the top floor, was
found a regular opium layout, near
which, it is charged, Joseph Torello, 26
years old, of 191 South Canal street,
and Daniel Mendel, cabman, 30 years
old, of 444 Washington street, were
smoking. The other men found in the
house were Peter Cad-lus. an employee
of Theodore Gaddis, coal dealer, S79
Plane street. and Charles Brown, a
cigarmaker. AZ years old, of 1896 Spring
field avenue. Torello became known
during the Sommer regime as stool
pigeon for former Under-sheriK Mason.
Cadmus, who is collector, said ii was
all a mistake, so far as he is concerned.
When the officers mounted the stairs
of the house, !Cadmus dashed past them
and it was only after chase of sew
eral blocks that Plainclothesman King
was able to capture him.
| Captain Ryan said today that he is
determined to stamp out the evil from
his precinct and that. in every ease
! in which 1t was possible to obtain evil
dence, the people of Newark could bs
assured OF his prompt action. He was
greatly pleased with the conviction OBJ
tanned by him and his men and de-
clared that he would never stop in his
campaign against such places.

SUGAR EMPLOYEES

Attorney Says Prisoners on
Trial for Frauds Will Re-
fuse to Be .Goats.'

NEW YORK, Dec. With the re-
sumption today of the trial in the United
States Circuit Court of James T. Ben
dernagel. Oliver Splitter and four other
former employees of the American
Sugar Refining Company charged with
conspiracy to defraud, there were indi-
cations that the government counsel in
tends III the present action to probe
deep into occurrences of a series OF
years on and about thu williamsburg
sugar docks.
Further evidence TO support the pros
ecutions's charges that men in the sugar
company's employ had been systemat-
ically defrauding the government out Of
duties on sugar was presented today.
on the other hand there were indica-
tions that the indicted men will refuse
to be made goats by the trust and
will tell all they know about the alleged
frauds TO retaliate on the trust, which
has deserted them since their arrest.
The threat that they would do this
was made today by Charles Beattle,
counsel for Bendernagel. He said:
I'VE are not going to shield anybody.
We are as much against the trust in
this thing as any one else. 1t has been
said that Bendernagel got $4,000 a year
salary, and that the trust is paying for
the defense of this trial. That is NOT so.
The trust has not put up one dollar for
this defense.
"Bendernagel was simply an en-
ployee on a small salary, and he did
only what he had to do to hold his
position. Now he is not going to sub
nit to being made the goat He is
going to defend himself, no matter who
is involved. We don't care where the
trail leads"
Andrew j. Mallen, who testified yes
terday that he had seen Bendernagel,
who was in charge of the cashier S
office of the Williamsburg plant, pay
cash to the men in the uniform of the
customs service, was subjected to a
lengthy cross-examination today. He
was asked if the custom OF marking on
the envelopes containing the pay of
some of the accused weighers a smaller
amount than the envelopes really con-
tained did not follow a strike in which
q private settlement was made with
these men on the basis of a salary in
crease.
Mallen did not think the strike af-
fected these men at all. He had no
means of knowing. he said. if Bender
nagels payments to customs service
men were for overtime, for which the
company was expected to compensate
them.
The practise of undertaking on the
envelope the amount actually paid to
certain sugar company employees be-
gan in 1900, Mallen said.
