TAILOR SHOP
is DAMAGED
FOR REVENGE

Some malicious person, whose
identity is said to be known, last
night entered the tailoring establish
ment of Leon Ferbel, at 80 Smith
street, and presumably to obtain re-
venge, cut and slashed several hum
dred dollars worth of women's suits
apd dresses, using a pair of scissors
to destroy the garments. Not salts
fed with the destruction, the ma
rauder made away with number of
rolls of dress goods, worth several
hundred dollars more.
Ferbel believes that a discharged
tailor, whom he ordered out of his
employ about year and half ago.
is the guilty party. Entrance was
effected by way of the front door.
and as the tailor still retained key
to the door, it is believed that he
made use of 1t last night. The fact
Is strengthened because the tailor
has been in this city for the past
week, and only yesterday, it is de-
clared, conversed with the proprie-
tor of a tailoring establishment di-
rectly opposite Ferbels.
Not until this morning was the
mischief wrought by the intruder dis
covered. About 1880 o'clock FerbeI
opened his shop and discovered on
the floor strips and tatteFs OF dresses
that few hours before were worth
anywhere from $40 to $50 each.
Backs had been cut out of coats,
sleeves had been ripped, and large
rents had been made in skirts. Not
an article of clothing had been
spared, even suits that had been sent
to the shop for pressing were de-
stroyed. Why the former employe
should retain any malice against
him, Ferbel is at loss to UNDER
stand. He was discharged over a
year ago.
JeweIry Taken From House.
A thief or thieves entered the
home of Mrs. John Sorensen, at 375

through an open door. At the time
the theft is supposed to have taken
place Mrs. Sorensen was on the back
porch. No trace was left by the mis-
creant.

TO RIGHT TO

Company Against City Of

spsoIal % tns RvRN1Nq NEws.


Trenton, June 2:-The question
whether large quantities of coal may
be stored in this state and then es-
cape taxation on the ground that it
is subject to interstate commerce
regulations, was argued before
Judge Rellstab in the United States
circuit court today, the case being
that of the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany against the mayor and council
of South Amboy and Alfred T. Kerr.
collector Of taxes of that city. The
company brought the suit to have set
aside the taxes assessed against IL
on the coal stored in South Amboy
for the years 1906, 1907 and 1908.
James B. Vredenburgh and Alan H.
Strong represented the company.
The tax for 1905 assessed by the
South Amboy taxing authorities was
$7,875 upon 10000 tons of coal:
for 1907 II was $5,2OS.66 on $3.50
tons, and for 1908, $7,O44.40 on
1888 tons.
Counsel for the company figured
that the tax was illegal because it
was assessed In violation of the con-
stitution of the United States. the
federal government having the sole
R0WCA ~ lC6uAdIS lnI6TbIdI6 COIQ-
merce. 1t was claimed that the coal
was only temporarily in this state,
having merely been stored while
awaiting shipment to purchasers.
Counsel held that in interstate COM
merce the coal could not be taxed in
this state.
Another argument was that the
coal, as the property of the company.
was part of the capital stock of the
plaintiff, that the company paid tax
on it's capital stock in Pennsylvania
for the years in question and there
fore II compelled to make these pay
ments would be doubly taxed on the
same property. 1t was held further,
that, as personal property, the coal
was taxed at its final destination In
the various states where it's purchas-
ers reside SO should not be taxed in
New Jersey.
Frederick M. P. Pearse, represent
ing South Amboy, argued in favor Of
the tax standing against the COM
pany. He showed that the coal was
In storage in the city on May 20 each
year. the taxing day, and that large
quantities of coal are constantly
kept there. The South Amboy
authorities are expected to give the
property the same protection accord
ed to all property and In other ways
the coal, although shipments may be
made from and added to 1t, is treat
ed by the company as property in the
city. He held that the interstate
commerce regulations did not apply
and therefore the tax should be up
held.

marriage and motherhood are the

other things being equal, she is hap
pier in them than in others, but this
is far from saying that a woman's
life is failure because she is mar
ried. The home and the family are
the nucleus of the highest happiness,
but II circumstances are such as to
force women to accept husbands
whom they don't respect and love,
and whom they would not marry ex-
