PROPRIETOR OF NAVARRO
SUES FORMER PROPRIETOR.
Says He Was Induced to Invest
by Misrepresentati0ns.

Suit was started today in the Court
of Chancery by Joseph Nemrow, pro-
prietor of the Navarro Hotel, against
Edward b. Fischer and his wife, Au-
gusta, for the recovery of , .250, which
he claims Fischer and his wife OBJ
tanned from him by false representa-
tons. He says he was induced to in
vest in the company by the glowing
tales told by Fischer of the business
he was doing m the money he was
making. 1t is alleged that Fischer rep
resented the furnishings of the hotel
as belonging to him and that his assets
were over $40, 900, while his liabilities
were but 81, 500.
Nemrow says that after he had been
there about a month a string of cred
itors appeared demanding money, say
ing that Fischer had only paid them
small amounts on account. Nemrow
then became suspicious n engaged
auditors to go over the books of the
company. He says they found that
Fischer had no assets and about Sc, 900
liabilities, the furniture and fixtures
of the hotel belonging to Feist & Feist,
owners of the property.
Fischer and his wife left the Navarro
on September 2S, Nemrow taking COM
plete charge.

COST Of COUNTY
VOTE RECOUNT
Justice Gummere Decides That

City Officials.

the city to the county committee is an
officer of the city. Chief Justice Gum
mere today ruleo that the city would
have to pay for the cost of the recount
held in the contest in the Seventh dis
trict Ninth ward. which resulted in a
tie between Herbert H. Walker, Pro-
gressive Republican, and William ID.
Van Syele. Regular Republican. The
court fixed the amount of expense
at s57.
Assistant City Attorney Charles
Meyers argued that if the contestant,
Walker, did no have TO pay, the
county should be responsible. The
court held. however. that the county
committeeman was in reality a city
official. on the grounds hat a repre-
sentative from a municipality is an
officer of that municipality. Justice
Gummere said that in the days when
the municipal elections were held in
the spring the freeholders were always
elected at the municipal elections, and
were considered city officers. and he
said hat he considered the county
committeeman in the same light.
Charles L. Williams appeared for
Walker.

and within an hour the big gas bag
loated in the air ready for a start.
Colonel Potter's small motor yacht,
by means of a rope towed the airship
the few hundred feet necessary to reach
the waters edge, and when the boat
cut loose the monster balloon floated in
the air like a bird. Those gathered 20
witness the start declare the sight was
a beautiful one. Every condition was
perfect for ballooning.
There are six men on the airship,
and they are provided with provisions,
mostly of the canned variety, sufficient
to last them a month. The only means
of cooking is a small oil stove. but this,
Mr.. Wellman says, will do all the cook
ing they require.
Each man is provided with two uni
forms, the one of khaki he wore when
the airship started III a much heavier
one for use in case extraordinarily cold
weather is encountered.
When the airship had sailed about 400
feet from shore it disappeared in the
fog, leaving the crowd on the shore al
most speeches. with establishment.
It was estimated that the two en-
gines, which were working perfectly,
were pushing the balloon through the
air at the rate of twenty-six miles an
hour. With Europe 1900 miles away
it can readily be calculated 10Y long
