NORFOLK CHURCH STILL
AFTER NEWARK MINISTER,
Rev. Stuart N. Hutchinson Be-
Sieged TO Accept Call.

At the midweek service of the First
Reformed Church last night the pastor,
the Rev. Stuart Nye Hutchinson, an
nounced to the congregation that he is
seriously considering a call to the Client
Presbyterian Church, of Norfolk.
This is the second time hat the mat
ter has come up. Several months ago
the Norfolk church began making over
lures to MI. Hutchinson, and a com
mittee visited Newark to confer with
him. About a month ago he preached
in Norfolk, and was offered a call,
which, after a weeks consideration, he
declined.
The efforts of the Client Church have
not ceased, however, and, notwith-
standing his refusal, a unanimous cal
has been sent to him and a committee
of ten men appointed to ONT to New
ark. if necessary, to urge the matter.
Last night Mr.. Hutchinson notified the
congregation that the persistence OF
the call, the urgent need of the Norfolk
field and it's great opportunity COM
PEELED him again to take the matter
under careful consideration. A definite
answer is to be returned to the Norfolk
church in a few days.

"TASSELS'S" PARTNER is

Frank N. Weller Didn't Appear

merchant, who insisted when he got
into financial troubles recently that his
dog "Tassels" was a member of his
firm, again appeared in court today,
this time on paper only and minus any
mention of the locally famous canine.
1t was before Judge Adams in the
Circuit Court that Weiler's troubles
once more cropped up, and this time
in the form of a directed verdict, as
there was no defense.
The verdict was for 81, 136. sc, and the
plaintiff who obtained it was Frederick
L. Drescher. of New York, represented
by Ralph Z. Lum. Drescher appeared
as executor of the estate of Ernest
Drescher, his father, and testified that
he had advanced to Weller on Septem-
Der IL, 1907, $1,000 on a certain agree
ment covering four mortgages on o.
East Ninth street, New York. AS the
agreement was never carried out and
the matter went by default the court
directed the verdict to the full amount
with interest to date.

ORDER STORM
DOORS REMOVED
FROM SIDEWALK
Latest Move in Campaign Brings
Strong Protest from VIC
tim of Rule.

The following letter was received by
the STAR today in regard to the cru
SADIE being carried on against side
walk distractions by Charles M. Ship
man, superintendent of works, from q.
Pride, the proprietor Of a barber shop
at 3 Commerce street, who was noti-
fled that the storm door enclosing the
entrance to his shop must be removed.
Dear Sir-Having received this notice
you will confer Upon me q great favor
by publishing in your great paper sec
tions 543 and 544, as it is necessary for
us to have a stoop inclosed in order
that patrons may have a proper en-
trance. The Mutual Benefit Life Insur-
ance Company maintains a large stoop,
as well as marble columns three or four
feet out from its building, and I feel
that l should have the same privilege,
as the aw was made for all"
The sections of, the ordinance re-
ferred to read:
Section 543-No person shall encum-
Der or obstruct any street, highway,
public lane or alley, public wharf, dock
or slip, or other public place in the city
of Newark by placing therein or
thereon any building material or any
article or thing whatsoever, without
first having obtained the written per-
mission of the general superintendent
of works. under penalty of $40 for each
offense, and the further sum of So for
every day such encuinbrance or OBJ
stacle shall continue.
"Section 544-The general superin-
tendent of works and his assistants are
hereby authorized, empowered and
directed to summarily remove or cause
to be removed any article or thing
whatsoever which may cucumber any
street, highway, public lane or alley,
sidewalk or other public place of
the city of Newark, and the owner or
owners of any article or thing so re-
moved shall forfeit and pay So, in adj
dition to the costs of such removal"
When asked about the pillars of the
Mutual Benefit building Mr.. Shipman
said today that he had not gotten to
that part of his crusade yet.
1T Is true" he said, that the stoop
of the building does. extend over the
line, but there is a special ruling with
regard to the stoop line. For another
thing the stoop is not enclosed. If It
were the enclosure would have to come
down just the same as that of Pride's.
There are storm doors on the corner
of Broad and Commerce street that
cost the owner of the place nearly
1000. They are going to go, too. I'm
not ready yet to take up the question
of building extensions over the line,
That doesn't enter into the question at
all now"
The refusal by Vice-Chancellor Emery
Yesterday to grant a restraining order
to Samuel Krasner, who has a stand
at the corner of Market and Broad
streets, against Mr.. Shipman was a
distinct victory for the latter. This
was a test case intended to establish
the superintendent power to remove
distractions. The stand may now be
removed by Mr.. Shipman without fur
Their notice to the owner.

THREE MEN FOUND DEAD
IN BED; GAS TURNED ON.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Three men who
slept in one room last night were found
lead from gas asphyxiation early to-
day. and the theory of the police is that
the gas was accidentally turned on.
The victims are: William Robertson,
aged 81; Alexander Robertson, aged 4S,
and Thompson. aged 40.
The Robertsons lived at 14l Seven
tenth street, Brooklyn, and Thompson's
home was at Bay Ridge. All three were
shipwrights. The Robertsons had in
vited Thompson to remain at their
house for the night. The men went to
bed early, as they were required to re-
port early for their work. The chan
delier is an old-ashioned he. with the
stopcocks close together, end it is
believed that whoever turned off the
light opened the other valve.
