"Aero-C -Car-Boat" Flies

Berlin.-In the gray dawn of a
morning Berlin was traversed by one
of the queerest vehicles ever built
an aeroplane convertible at will into
a motor car or motor boat. It's
journey was made as an automobile,
and it was driven by the inventor,
Herr Fritz Grawert.
The machine. which is intended to
serve as an engine of offense in war,
has behaved more successfully on
terra firma than it has done so far
in the air. 1t was taken to the mill
tary airship station at legal, where
it is to exhibit its versatile accom-.
plishments for the benefit of the ar.
my authorities. Major Gross, COM
mander of the aerial fleet, said today
that he was favorably impressed with
the Grawert's possibilities.

give the authorities no information
whatever which would lead to finding

Polan, said she had black hair and
eyes, black shoes and stockings and
that she wore no hat.

Society, across the street from the in
stitution which shelters their mother.

WIRELESS COMPANY SENDS
ITS BOOKS DOWN TO COURT.
Threatened With Contempt Pro-
ceedings if Not on Hand Today.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2-Without am
advance flourish of trumpets the miss
ing books of the United Wireless Tele-
graph Company popped into view to-
day. A messenger boy came trudging
into the Federal building with them
just before the expiration of the time
limit set for their production. Il got
them up on Forty-second street to de-
liver here" was all the explanation the
boy had to offer.
The Federal grand jury investigation
into the affairs of the company. which
followed the recent descent upon the
eompany's offices and the arrest of sew
eral of it's officers, had been h~anlpered.
1t was explained. by the disappearance
of eighteen of the corporations books.
They were sought for high and low,
but there was no trace of them. The
company's officers when summoned de-
clared their inability 10 produce the
desired volumes. The Federal authori-
ties were insistent. however. and in
Judge Hands court five men who it
was thought should know where the
books were were threatened with con-
tempt proceedings unless the volumes
were produced in court today.
Now that the grand jury has the
books it is expected that the investiga-
tion will be continued. Action against
several of the company's officers was
in connection with charges that the
value of stocks offered for sale had
been misrepresented.

short time. are in Jail in the First Pre-
cinct police station pending an inves-
tigation into a row in their home at

WOMAN GAVE HUSBAND
NOTHING IN HER WILL.
Insurance Co., to Avoid Contest,
PAYS Policy Into Court.

The John Hancock Company. a life
insurance concern, today secured an
order from vice-Chancellor Howell per-
hitting it to pay into court $25o.20, the
amount due under a policy made out
to Mrs. Bridget Hickey. who died last
January.
1t was because Mrs. Hickey during
her lifetime had been unable TO get the
consent of her husband. Michael to his
extinction as beneficiary under the
policy hat the courts We're appea,e1
to. The order at the same time en-
joins the husband from suing to com
pei the company to pay the amount to
himself, as he has threatened to do.
In her will the wife expressly set
forth that the husband should receive
no part of her estate, and. instead. she
names the Roman Catholic Orphan
Asylum, in South Orange, as devisee
IF the residue.
Although Mrs. Hickey had applied
to the company shortly before her
death to have the change made as to
the beneficiary. her husband refused
absolutely to be a party to It.

SOUTH. RIVER GAS CASE
ARGUMENT HEARD TODAY.
Decision in Injunction Proceed
ingS Reserved.

Decision was reserved by Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell today In ~chancery cham
bers, after argument had been heard,
on the return of the rule directing the
borough of South River, in Middlesex
county. to show cause why it should
o be restrained from Interference
with the extension by the Public Sery-
ice Gas Company of a gas main into
that borough.
Frank. Bergen. general couns for
the Public Service Corporation, made
Strong, of New Brunswick, hat or
behalf of the borough. Mr.. Bergen
held that the action of the
in the extension of its mains was per-
fectly legal under its charter, while
Mr.. Strong held to the contrary.
Mr.. Strong said that the gas COM
pany was formed under a special char
ter In 1851 and the period of it's ex-
~istence. was limited to thirty years,
which was afterwards extended. He
admitted that the charter allowed the
laying of the gas mains through Som
erset n Middlesex coupties.
1T is claimed In this case" Mr..
Strong insisted, that under the act
of 1876 they had a special right, be-
longing only to them, and NOT to any
corporation under the general act, of
laying gas mains without the consent
of the borough. Our contention is that
the act of 1876, if containing any such
authority, is a special act and for that
reason unconstitutional.
If the gas company can do this in
this instance it has a right to go into
any of your streets, dig them up and
lay mains without your consent and
against your opposition"

DRANK CREOSOTE BECAUSE
HER BABY REMAINED ILL.
Mrs. Franklin Murphy Attempt
ed Suicide, but Nav Recover.

Despondent because her 5-months-old
daughter, Sydney, was rapidly failing
in health, Mrs. Franklin Murphy, of 70
South Seventh street, attempted suicide
last night by drinking two ounces of
creosote. Although the mother is seri-
ously Ill at the City Hospital, the
doctors today said she would probably
recover.
Mrs. Murphy, who is "a years old,
has three children, Cyril. Z years old;
Beatrice. s, and Sydney, 5 months, all
stuff ting from whooping cough. For
several nights Mrs. Murphy remained
awake, trying to relieve the suffering
of her children. The family physician
told her to give Sydney as much air as
possible. n yesterday the mother and
child were outdoors several hours.
After Mrs. Murphy and her husband
had finished supper the young woman
took some of the creosote from a lamp,
went to the bathroom and drank it.
Sydney is very much improved to-
day, and this news did much toward
helping her mothers chances of re-
covery.

TRENTON, Aug. "A delegation OF
gentlemen interested in the application
for a new trust company TO be located
at Morristown, to be known as the
American Trust Company, waited upon
Banking and Insurance Commissioner
Vivian Lewis at the state House to-
day and went over the scheme of or
ganization of a new bank in Morris
town.
While the banking commissioner did
not say just what disposition he would
make with the application. he told the
delegation that he would adhere to
the policy he inaugurated when he as
sumed the office not to grant charters
to new banking institutions unless the
public demands of the locality war

the banking commissioner is convinced
that there is a public demand and ne
cessity for the new banking house, 1t
is safe to predict that the charter will
not be granted.

EVIDENCE NOT CLEAR.
Difficult to Fix Responsibility for
North Dakota Accident,

The finding of the naval court which
investigated the recent Oil explosion and
fire on the battleship North Dakota to
the effect that the accident was due to
faulty design and installation appears
TO have led to a great deal of comment
in the press. That fact caused the Navy
Department today to make public the fol-
lowing statement:
from the published reports of the ac-
cident on the North Dakota the impress
sion seems to have gone forth that the
builders were wholly responsible for it.
In fact, the installation of the oil burners
is after designs that have been used in
other navies for long time with great
success. Furthermore, all the detailed
plans were approved by the Navy Depart
ment. Under the circumstances no one
can be held accountable unless ii is the
Navy Department. provided the installa-
ton was in accord with the approved de-
signs.
LAS a matter of fact. owing to the ma
ture of the accident and the extreme rap
idity with which the terrific heat was
evolved. the evidence as to the cause of
the accident is not very clear
