HANGS OUT old
Clothes TO
ANNOY THE rich

NEW YORK, June 1.-Justice Min
turn, of the New Jersey Supreme
court, decided yesterday that poor
man has a right to hang out under
clothing on a clothesline in front of
his house, even If his wealthy neigh
bors are scandalized thereby. The
opinion of Justice Minturn was given
in quashing an indictment found abou'
year ago by the grand jury of Mon
mouth county against James NJ. ALI
gor, of Seabright.
Alligor has a little one-story shanty
on the Rumson road, his near neigh
bors being Cornelius n. Bliss, w. F.
Havemeyer, NJ. c. D. Borden, C. B.
Alexander and James Loeb, all OF
whom are reported to be in quite COM
Portable circumstances. About a year
ago Alligor opened an ice cream parlor
in his shanty. 1t didn't pay, and be
blamed the poor business on his neigh
bors. So he put out sis1 reading;
This place closed because of mil
lionaires' boycott"
A few days later he replaced that
sign with this one:
This property to let. Negroes pre-
ferred."
A week or two later, Alligor set up
a pole in front of his place and
strung a clothesline to his front door.
On the line he hung clothing, and OH
the clothing pinned signs reading:
"They do say who stole the fire
mems relief money" and they do say
who stole the church money"
Some of the Monmouth county Off
Gals took umbrage at these signs
and the millionaires were put out at
the display of undergarments. They
went before the grand jury and had
Alligor indicted for making a nuts
ance of himself. His friends hired
a lawyer to take the case Ito the SUI
preme Court, Justice Minturn, in
quashing the indictment, said
The indictment sets forth that the
said Alligor caused the exhibition, up
on rope from his building to a pole
near the edge of the highway, of a
pair of blue overalls, one pair of dirty
white overalls. one old piece of bed
ticking, two pairs of ladies white un-
dergarments and two pairs of mems
red flannel undergarments."
Then the justice went on to say that
he had a perfect right to exhibit that
interesting collection if he wished to-

 New York May 15.-Although some steadiness was displayed in the first few minutes the market later ruled generally irregular. Union Pacific was the strongest of the railroad group ad- vancing .fve-eighths with Reading aft the upturn. Erie opened five-eighths lower but recovered part of this loss. Traction issues fell one point and Con solidated Gas was fractionally lower.
 At II a. m.. price movements in the half half of the first hour were gen. orally narrow and without much inn portance. The larger bull interest seemed to continue their policies throughout the early trading in line with the position taken by them sev- eraI days ago. Consolidated Gas was down slightly from the highest.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds firm.
 CIosing-The usual liquidation gen. erally noted at the end of the week was about the only feature of the final dealings. Selling by room tradeiA caused a reaction of nearly one point in Consolidated Gas and Reading lost % of a point from the highest figure of the day. The Third Avenue Trac- tion continued its downward movement but in the majority of other shares the changes were confined to small frac- tions The market closed quiet but steady.

Hostilities Between Inven- tor and Editor Are Tenn porarily Halted While Former Makes Last
 Try.
If Machine. to Navigate Air Does Not Work Soon, Whitehead Will Take $1OO and Beach Will Get the Invention - Inventor Worked, But His Brains, and Backer Couldn't See Them Laboring.

Gustav Whitehead, the inventor. who has been working on a flying ma chine for severa1 months past has got to fly soon or else Stanley Y. Beach, one of the editors of the Scientific A1nerican,~ will take the flying appar- atus himself and try to work out the problem of aerial navigation on his own hook. Whitehead is now the de- fendant in a suit Brought against him by, Beach and there has been an agree ment made between them whereby Whitehead has got to perfect the ma chine within two months or accept $100 cash and part with the machine.
 The inventor has set up his tents in Fairfield, just west of Mountain Grove cemetery, and is working on the air ship in the lot where the West End club plays ball on Sundays, and most any day he is likely sto get aboard and sail over to Stratford where he will moor the ship to the weather vane on MT Beach's barn.
 The reason MT. Beach became angry with Whitehead and sued him, was work on the airship, and MT. White head did not seem to him to be work ing. MT. Whitehead replied to the accusation that thinking was the prin- cipal work of an inventor and that it was not to be expected that the Scien- tific American man could see his brain at work.
 The break came one day when MT. Beach took some friends out to see Whitehead and asked him to start the formance, like circling around the Bridgeport lighthouse.
 MT. Whitehead informed MT. Beach that it happened to be Sunday and the whirring of the motors would disturb the Sabbath, and besides he was of the opinion that it ss1ln&l}a be .adyertieed. before he flew to avoid giving a Scare to the several religious sects who were watching for the millennium. x
 MT. Whitehead has made several successful flights in aeroplanes, and there are many people who believe that he will surely conquer the air.
