POLICE GLAD TO SEE
TROUBLESOME YOUTH GO.

The police of the Fourth Precinct
said today that they were glad to get
rid of 1~s-year-old Jacob Fox, of 100
Broome street. who. they say. was the
most obstreperous prisoner with whom
they had to deal in some time.
Jacob was arrested for fighting in the
street Tuesday. He gave battle to Pa
trolman Kroemelbein, who arrested
him. He refused to tell the police his
name and was booked az "Joe Doe"
He was sullen in his cell and when
Doorman Ambs brought a sandwich
to him last night he threw 1t In Ambs's
face. He refused to tell Judge Herr
his NAME. and 1t IA only when his
father appeared that his name was
learned. Although he had money In
his clothes he refused to pay the SO
fine imposed by the court. The father
paid it. and when Fox left the court
everybody felt better.

HOBOKEN BOARD OF
EDUCATION MAY YET WIN.


TRENTON, June 30.-Justice Parker
has filed an opinion in the Court OF Err
rors reversing the Judgment the Calu-
met Construction Company obtained In
the Hudson county courts against the
Hoboken Board of Education fo-
SIS, 900. The reversal iss on the ground
that certain material testimony was
excluded at the trial below. +
The Board of Education contracted
with the construction company for the
erection Of a school building in Ho-
boken. Invthe specifications a certain
kind OF steel construction bar was
called for. The company insisted on
using another bar. which 1t claimel
was equal to the specified one.
After some controversy concerning
the matter and after the refusal Of the
Board OF Education to allow the com
pany to use its bar, the contract was
~rescinded. The work was held up for
a period Of five months. At the trial
below the Board of Education had an
expert on the stand to testify as to
certain qualifications of steel bars con-
corning their rightly when an attach
ment was applied to main tension Of
the bars. This testimony was ex-
cluded, and Justice Parker holds 1t
should have been adpaittsd.

This company's business was con-
Quoted without due regard to the stock

further. THE directors were racing
with the Metropolitan Insurance Com
pany and the stockholders had to stand

Referring to the statement made by
the defense at the bearing that tho
public was clamoring for a distribu-
ton of the funds among the policy
holders, Mr.. Hardin said:
81 don't think that public sentiment
defines the rights of the stockholders
to prevent profits, unlimited profits. If
necessary on the stock plan. Stock
companies are organized for profit and
for the profit of the stockholders.
I'VE are making no attacks on the
company. We want it to prosper as
well as anybody else, but we claim,
that the stockholders are entitled to
their profits"
MIR. Hardin maintained. and he cited
many authorities to sustain his conten-
ton. that the fund of SIG, oo0, 900 lis a
