LIGHTNING PLAYS
SOME ODD FRANKS
PERFORMS MANY QUEER STUNTS
IN A NEW JERSEY
HOME.
NEVER TOUCHED OCCUPANTS
Furniture and Decorations Are Torn
or Melted, But No One Is Hurt,
Though the Bolt Had to Dodge
Them.

Lightning has been known to play
queer freaks, but a streak of the Jer-
sey brand which struck the home of
John Alderman in Rochelle Park,
N. j., few days ago, seems to have
done more queer things in a moment
than had been done since Ajax defied
the fluid. From removing the four
castOrs of a table to shipping off the
steel stub of pen with which q young
woman was writing In an adjoining
house, the zigzagging bolt managed to
disrupt or injure most everything in
Its path.
The bolt melted the telephone wire
and hurled the molten metal against a
window with such force as to make
mosaics Of several panes, the spatter-
ing hot metal so deeply ENGRAVING it.
self in the glass that there has been
no getting it out.
One side of the hall was ripped out
and from there the lightning flashed
into the parlor, where a broken lamp
and scattered and broken bric-a-brac
told of its passage through that apart
ment.
Then It journeyed to the dining
room, where Mr.. Alderman was sit
ting. The walls, blackened, scared
and bulged out on three sides, show
that the bolt struck the room in three
places, and Alderman is still mar
yelling how 1t was that the lightning
flashed all around without ever touch.
ing him.
In the kitchen was an old-fashioned
clock, quite heavy and fully two feet
from the kitchen and deposited the
wreck in the dining-room. The west
side of the kitchen wall was blown
out. The kitchen floor was blown up
ward. The kitchen table was spin
tered into bits and the range was shat
tered into many pieces.
A young woman next door was writ.
ing letter and her pen-point disap
peared as the bolt shook the place.
Yet, strange to say, although there
were four persons in the house at the
time not one of the occupants suffered
any injury from the freakish bolt
other than the shocked surprise that
would be expected on such an exciting
occasion.

schwittay 10 Found Guilty.

Madison.-Albert E. Schwittay, dis
trict attorney of Marinette county,
| was disbarred from practising law In
the Wisconsin courts by decision of
Judge E. Ray Stevens. Judge Stevens
conclusions were as follows:
THAT the defendant does not pos
sess good moral character, which is
a requisite condition to his right to
continue in the practise of law.
That judgment be entered abso-
lutely annulling the license of Albert
p. Schwittay to practise as lawyer
before all the courts of record of this
state and absolutely revoking the IL
cense of said Albert E. Schwittay to
practise the profession of the law out
side the courts of record of the state
of Wisconsin.
"A discussion of the questions of
law presented by each of these find
ings is not essential to determine
ton of the single issue presented by
this proceeding, which is: Does the
defendant possess that good moral
character which is a prerequisite to
the rlgnt 10 ENJOY the privileges Wnlcn
are possessed only by members Of the
bar? When shown that member of
the bar does not possess such character,
1t is the duty of the court to revoke
his license to practise and to deny
him all the privileges that come with
his admission to the bar.
mo discussion of the rules of law is
necessary to lead counsel or the court
to the conclusion that one who has
been guilty of conduct such as that
found by the court is no longer fit to
have license to practise law"
Schwittay is a graduate of the law
school of the University of Wisconsin
in 1901. In that year he was admitted
to the bar Proceedings to revoke his
license were commenced in 1904 and
he was convicted of the charges against
him.

other Objectionable feature IL the fact
that while a plurality vote will elect
