FATHER CHARGES HIS
SON WITH ASSAULT

New Brunswick, Sept. Sired New
man, q Piseataway truck farmer yester-
day swore out a warrant before JUS
tice of the Peace William A. Housell,
charging his son with strocious assault.
The son, Max Newman, is seventeen
years old. Special officer Harry Hous-
ell has the warrant.
According TO the story told by the
elder Newman, the attack was a brutal
as well as an ~unprovoked one. He said
that he went to a field where his son
was working late yesterday afternoon
and called his attention to the fact that
more than 800 worth of tomatoes were
rotting on the vines. Rather than see
them wasted he offered them to the
boy if he would pick and sell them.
The boy responded in an offensive
manner and one word lead to another.
Mr.. Newman said he didn't know
just what hit him but suspected that 1t
was q stone or a key as one of his teeth
was knocked out by the first blow. In
addition to. the missing tooth Mr.. New
man displayed a brilliant black eye and
numerous bruises and said that he
thought one of his ribs had been bro
ken. After swearing out the complaint
he went to a doctors office.
Mr.. Newman said that the boy ad-
mitted beating him but would give no
reason. He intimated that the boys
mother sided with him in the trouble.

a Noveliss's Romance.

IDefe Oleu IN tar1S Fecently at tne
age of eighty-nine years q woman who
will be remembered in the annals both
Of literature and of music. Her name
was Pauline Viardot-Garcia. She was
great In her own right and great by
reason Of her associations, says Cur
rent Literature. Her brother. Manuel
Garcia, who died In 1909, was a sing
ing teacher Of worldwide reputation.
In her prime she sang in all the lead
ing opera houses Of Europe. She knew
intimately some Of the most famous
men and women Of her time. Wagner,
schumann, Chopin, Gounod and List
were her friends. George Sand made
her the heroine of a novel. AIRY Schef-
fer painted her portrait Heine. Renan,
Delacroix, Adelaide Ristori and others
as famous iocked to her salons. "She
comes to US" says an enthusiastic ad-
mirer in Musical America, "from the
golden age, carrying the sacred fire.
During eighty-nine years her hand
never wearied. her fame never flick
cred" But her strongest claim on i'm.
mortality lies not SO much In what
has been mentioned as In one other
fact. She was the friend and inspirer
of the man whom many regard as the
greatest novelist hat ever lived-Ivan
Turgenieff-
The love story of Nine. Viardot-Gar-
cha and Turgenieff has never been told
In its entirety. Turgeniefr had all the
sec~retiyeness of the Slav, and Nine.
Viardot-Garcia when she gave her con-
cent in 1907 to the publication of some
Of the letters that passed between them
excised the most vital passages. There
are indications. however. that the full
facts will soon be brought to light. 1t
is said that among the papers of Mime.
ViardOt-Garcia has been found q man
uscrtpt novel of Turgeniefr's intrusted
to her half a century ago on the I'M
derstanding that 1t was not to be pub
lished until ten years after her death.
III the statement is true" Jacob Ton
son remarks In the London New Age.
something approaching a first class
sensation is in store for the literary
world" There is another report that
Nine. Viardot-Garcia and TurgenieR
were secretly married and that the
child Of their union, a daughter, is liv-
ing in America.

ANOTHER MOVE IN

ing the borough of South River from
interfering with the Public Service
Gas Company as lessee of the Gas
Light Company of New BRUNSWICK
from laying its pipes within the
limits of the borough of South River.
vice Chancellor Howell had provid-
ed that his injunction against the
borough should not be given the
court of errors to decide whether the
present status should be preserved
until final disposition of the case.
The motion to continue the stay was
made by Alan H. Strong, represent
ing the borough, and was opposed
by Frank Bergen for the Public Ser
vice Company.
The question involved Is one of
great importance in the state and
has never been sufficiently passed on
by the courts. The Gas Light Com
pany of New Brunswick secured a
charter in 1851 authorizing 1t to
operate in New Brunswick and to
extend It's pipes to other places in
M1ddlesex county and In Somerset
county. The charter was to be oper-
atlve for thirty years, expiring In
1881. Prior to its expiration the
gas company filed .a-@certifeate4aex-
tending the charter for fifty years.
This was done under the act of
1875, permitting the extension of
the corporate existence of compa-
MES. The Public Service Gas Com
pany applied to the authorities of
South River for permission to lay
its pipes within the borough. This
was refused and the company then
took the position that under It's
charter it had the right to go ahead
without neutrality-suspicious.
