HAS
PAID $1,000
TO COTTRELL

Sheriff Quaekenboss has turned
over to Herbert Cottrell through his
attorney, a check in full settlement
of the judgment which Cottrell Sc
cured against Asbury Fountain in
the damage suit which was tried
about a year ago in the Middlesex
county court. The suit was for an
assault and battery committed up
On Cottrell on his WI land on the
night of March 16, 1903.
Prior to this date it appeared that
Jacob Gaub had conducted water
from a number of ~underdrains and
discharged it upon Cottrell's land.
Subsequently Cottrell had the ditch
filled as far as it had been dug upon
his property, so as to divert the wa
ter to another ditch through which
it might pass without doing him any
damage. And or the night of March
16, 1909, Cottrell received tnforma-
ton that this ditch which he had
had filled, was being opened by some
one. He at once went to the place
with witnesses to make an investi-
CATION and found Asbury Fountain
in charge of a party of Tin
GLIDING himself) clearing out the
ditch and because Cottrell protested
against their contriving the work,
he was brutally attacked by Gaub
and afterward, by Fountain.
Evidence throughout the trial
showed that the assault was unpro-'
voked, and the court only left it to
the jury to say whether the plain
tiff was entitled to reeover exem-
Dlary damages as well as compensa-
ion. The jury awarded Cottrell
$1,000. An appeal was taken by
Fountain to the supreme court on
he grounds of excessive damages,
ETC., but a new trial was denied him
~ Chief Justice Gummere handing
Town a decision confirming the YER
iict of the lower court. Execution
vas then placed in the hands of the
sheriff and rather than have the
take the body, Fountain paid
over the money.

PUBLIC OPINION

As a number of citizens have asked
for my reasons for being against Mr.
Woodrow Wilson, /, therefore, eonside'
it my duty to publish them in ordel
that my friends and fellow citizens
may fully know that I have the public
welfare at heart. Let me say that
have never publicly or privately spo'
ken one unkind word about Mr.. Will
son.
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Wilson have both
been nominated for governor, the for
mer on the Republican andvthe latter
on the Democratic ticket. And 1T be-
hooves each one of us to analytic each
gentleman with reference to his qualif-
cations. It is admitted by all that the
Chief Executive should be a man of
learning and practical political exper-
ienee.
Mr.. Wilson was born at stanton,
Va, and he was graduated from Prince
ton College in 1879; he studied law and
practiced as an attorney at Atlanta,
Ga, for two years until 1888; (See The
Ridpath Library of Universal Litera-
ture. Vol. "a page 378 and ete). Since
1883 he has been continually engaged in
study and educational work.
As he was graduated from Princeton
in 1879, he could not have been study
ing law for more than one year, as Mr..
Ridpath, whose works [ have just re-
ferred to, states that he practiced law
as an attorney at Atlanta, Ga, for two
years up to 1888, when he quit the prac-
tice of law. [ presume that his admis-
sion to the bar after so short a time OF
study was due to the fact that the re-
quirements for admission to the Bar of
Georgia was then, as it still is, very low
In fact the qualifications required for
admission to the bar in the Southern
States has been greatly criticized by
many learned commentators, among
whom is Thomas A. Street, A. NJ, LII.

a failure in the practice of law and II
being fair to presume that it must have
been due to the lack of legal learning
inasmuch as his term of the study OF
law lasted only n year. | have care
fully examined the history of Mr.. vii
son, but I have not as yet been able
I to learn when and where he has studied
the constitution and the laws of New
Jersey, Where and when he obtained his
practical experience.
Is it not a fact that lawyers are year
tly graduated from the universities Of
Harvard, Yale and Columbia and etc.

ROOSEVELT'S
AUTO KILLS
CHAUFFEUR

New York, Nov. THE powerful au-
tomobile of John Ellis Roosevelt of
this city, cousin Of ex-President Roose-
welt, upset three miles west of Mont
gomery, Orange county, killing the
Roosevelt chauffeur and seriously in
turing other occupants of the car.
Mr.. Roosevelt attempted to send his
car ahead of one owned and driven by
Henry Sanderson, a broker, whose Of
fee is at 2 Wall street and who is a
member of the Metropolitan club.
( The forward axle of Mr.. Roosevelt's
car broke at the knuckle on the left
side, the car whirled in a half somer-
sault into the ditch and then skidded
on the top of the tonneau for fully fifty
feet. Alexander e. Ehbel, who lived at
At East Twenty-ffth street and who
was Mr.. Rooseyelt's chauffeur, was in
stantly killed. John T. Sill, a retired
merchant, who lived at the Metropoli-
tan club, had both arms broken a short
distance above the wrists and Is in
Danger of having to have both ampu-
tated. George Fl. Robinson of New
Rochelle sustained a fractured rib and
possible internal Injuries, and Mr..
Roosevelt, who was knocked uncon-
scious by the fall from the overturn-
~1hR car, had his head and face badly
lacerated.
A farmer who happened to be some
--tance behind the two ears a minute
tile accident occurred and who
was one of the first to reach the over
turned machine said that the two cars
seemed to him to be making little less
than sixty miles ar hour just the in
slant that Mr.. Roosevelt's car took
the leap into the air. The accident to
Mr.. Roosevelt's car came just at the
minute that he was taking the side of
the road In an effort to pass the car
which was driven by Mr.. Sanderson
The front wheel struck a soft spot In
the hard oiled road, and the breaking
of the forward axle followed instantly.
Just as soon as Sanderson could
bring his car to a stop he whirled back
to where the Roosevelt car lay, engine
up, with every wheel but one twisted
from Its body. Only three Of its pas
sengers could be seen. These were Mr..
Roosevelt, Mr.. Sill and Mr.. Robinson.
all of whom were lying on the road
far ahead of the overturned car NEON
scious.
In Saaderson's car were Henry r.
Tayfor of 8 East Seventy first street;
Edward G. Wallace, who lives at 10
East Sixty-ninth street; Oliver G.
Townsend, who makes his home at the
Metropolitan club, and Dudley Olcott,
I'd, who lives In Morristown, N. J..
When all of them had put their united
strength on the side of the tonneau
they managed to lift the wrecked ma
chine to its side. Underneath the body
of the car they found Ehbel, the chauf-
feur, with Il deep hole In the center of
his forehead. Death had been instan-
taneous, a physician~sGd later.

Upon returning to the Victoria hotel

that Vice President Hoffman had suf-
fered a stroke of paralysis. This left
to Ashton the sole responsibility of
calling the general strike wnen ne sees

power
The express companies have made
ready to attempt to draw federal pro
lection for their wagons by preparing
signs which VIII be affixed to all wag-
n and which say, This wagon is
engaged in interstate commerce traffic
only" Word came from Washington
that United States Attorney Henry A.
Wise had been instructed to keep in
close touch with the situation. The
hope of the companies is to bring on
regular soldiers" as guards for their
business In ease they cannot depend
upon the New York police. The conf
panies endeavored to keep this new
move an absolute secret and lie not
hint of IT to outsiders.
The apparent acceptance by the COM
panies OF the decision of Mayor Cay
nor that strike breaking drivers must
be licensed or there would be no police
protection for them Indicated that Mr.,
Plat of the United States Express
company and his associates In the four
other big companies were Of the opin
ion that they had a trump card in
their possession which would take all
the tricks at the proper time. They
made a half hearted demur to the de-
eision by saying that they were en-
gagged In interstate commerce and
therefore not subject to municipal
ordinances, but they did not press
that.
The express company heads went
into conference downtown with law
yers. Francis S. Bangs suddenly ap-
peared in the controversy, and later
the announcement was made that the
would not give in in their
fight against the union principle. That
was characterized as shaking a red
rag at a bulr' by union leaders, and :
was asserted to be a direct challenge :
for a general strike.
In the meantime emissaries Of the
company had reached Washington to
lay the case before the authorities. !
The claim was made that all express
matter not originating locally was in
+~erstate commerce and under protec-
ton of the federal government; that
any attempt to stop it was an affront
the government itself and must be !
prevented by the federal authorities. j
Word was sent at once from Washing ]
ton that Mr.. Wise had been instructed +
to- keep in close touch with the situa- 8
ion. and the work of preparing the +
signs was at once begun. These were s
seen by representatives of the press IN s
