At the election the three petitioning
stockholders were not present. They
were represented by proxies, which
they now declare illegal. The defendant
stockholders admit that the proxies
were irregular, and this is the nearest
point to an agreement reached.
The dissenting stockholders are Marie
F. Stengel Emily A. Stengel and Chris
tian w Feigenspan. They are repre-
sented by Malcolm MacLear and
Franklin w. Fort, and claim that they
held the balance of power which they
would have exercised had they been
present.

HAT SHOPS MAY
OPEN UP HERE ON
MONDAY MORNING
Manufacturers Say They Have
Enough Employees to Re-
sumo Business.

An effort will be made by several of
the local hat manufacturers to resume
business Monday morning with the aid
of non-union men, who have been en-
gagged They also invite any union man
to come back who may care to work.
1t will be the first attempt to break
the strike which was caused by the re-
moyal of the union label by the manu-
facturers week ago yesterday, at the
request of the Associated Fur Felt Hat
Makers.
1t is said that as soon as the strike
breakers come to work the engineers
and firemen employed in those shops
will quit in sympathy with the union
hatters. The assistance of the engineers
and firemen was promised when the
trouble commenced.
The directors of the Associated Fur
Felt Hat Makers are holding a meet
ing in New York today. 1t is said
that the object is to set a date for
opening all the hat shops. Yet it is
also believed to be even more important
as the forfeiture bonds of all the mem
bers expire Monday.
Those bonds vary from $1,000 to $1,000,
are renewed each year and. in the event
of member not living up to the rules
of the organization, are forfeited
The only new feature in hat-shop
troubles today is that $50 women en-
ployed in the shops in Philadelphia
have become members of the Hat Trim
mers' Union, and as many more of the
Weighers and Feeders Union, which
are indirectly affiliated with the United
Hatters of North America.

Mrs. Carskaddon had a bullet hole
through her forehead, and her hus-
band had been killed in the same way.
A revolver was found near the hus-
bands right hand. 1t is presumed that
he killed his wife and then committed
suicide. The cause of the tragedy is
not known. but it is thought that bust
ness depression had something to do
with it. Some of their friends in Ar
lington say they believe the act was
premeditated by both.
Carskaddon was married twice and
settled in Arlington in 1892 His first
wife, who was an invalid, died in 1899,
and a few years later he married Miss
Mary Slater, prominent young woman
Of Arlington.
Mrs. Carskaddon was prominent in
church work, and her husband also
took an interest in such matters. They
removed to the South few years after
their marriage, but always kept in
touch with their friends in Arlington

DEMANDS RIGHT
OF BEING SENT TO
INSANE ASYLUM
Legal Action Brought in Behalf
of B. r. Huntley, of Upper
MOntclair.

Whether Bernard r. Huntley, of Up
per Montclair, is unjustly excluded from
the County Hospital for the Insane,
will shortly be determined by Chief
Justice Gummere in the Supreme Court
circuit.
Robert M. Boyd, town counsel. of
Montclair, appeared in that court to-
day and asked for rule to show
cause why mandamus proceedings
should not be issued against DIR. Daniel
NJ. Dill. as superintendent of the hos
pital, to compel him to receive the
patient. and the court. after hearing
the story, reserved decision.
Huntley was duly committed upon
application of his sister, Mrs. Eleanor
r. Douglas, but was refused admit
tance on the ground that he had no
legal settlement in the county. In the
meanwhile the Montclair authorities are
looking after the unfortunate man.
Mr.. Boyd's contention was that DIR.
Dill had no right to refuse admittance
without hearing in court. where the
question of legal settlement could be
determined
DIR. Dill expected County Counsel
Mum to be on hand. but as he did not
appear. he told the court that he acted
under the rules of the Board of Free
holders.
