WESTERN TRAIN ROBBERY
ON RARITAh RIVER R. R.

South River, Nov. 17:-Any one
who happened to be in the vicinity
iof Van Deventer's Station on the
Raritan river railroad last Sunday
morning would have been given the
rare treat Of seeing a real" western
train robbery. A realistic western
hold-up was portrayed, and while
there was lots of shooting and
wreckage strewn around, there was
no one seriously hurt.
The excitement was caused by the
Lubin Film Company, of New York,
which chose this particular part of
Middlesex county in which to pro-
duce a train robbery film. The roll
ing stock of the Rick Rack was
chartered for the occasion, and
those present say 1t was a decided
success. The robbers" had a head
collision with the Western Elk
press in the cut near Van D%eventer's
crossing. After the usual custom
of robbing the express car and pas
Sengers, there was a running battle
between the crew and the robbers"
rAe heroine of the picture was the
daughter, who climbed
INTO the cab, after the engineer had
been killed" and backed the train
away to safety. The film will be on
at the Star theatre some
line next month.

spectal bu united Press VIC.

Special By United Press Wire.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 17:-Au-
thoritative dispatches received today
announce that Count Leo Tolstoi is
still alive. The premature an
nouncement of his death last night,
however, cast a gloom over the en-
tire nation. All theatres weIe closed,
social entertainments cancelled and
messages of coincidence sent to the
widow from all over Russia.
The report of the death o? Count
Tolstoi at Astapeva was received
here by the various newspapers and
agencies. The NoYoe Vremya's Mos
cow correspondent first t~elegraphed
that Tolstoi was dead, but later sent
a further dispatch saying that a
message had been received from AS
tapova that Tolstoi was living and
that the crisis of the disease had
been passed,
The reports ~emanatlng from Asia
pova, where Tolstoi has been lying
with a high fever for two days, have
been conflicting throughout.
The official diagnosis, as given by the
attending physicians Tuesday night.
was that Tolstoi was suffering from an
of the lower lobe. of the
left lung, but that M immediate dan.
ger threatened.
Only the day before. the doctors say,
Tolstoi's temperature was 104, and he
was in a delirious state. His tempera'
ture during the night rose to 103.64,
and he had an attack of bleeding from
the lungs. Some time later 1t was re-
that his temperature had fallen
to 98.6. Then came the report Of his
death and finally a message from AS
that he had successfully passed
The crisis of the disease.
New York, Nov. 17.-On at least two
occasions Count Leo Tolstoi has been
reported as dying, and three years ago
MS death was reported. Eight years
ago the papers here and abroad were
filed with ~eulogies.

pioned from Moscow to st. Peters
burg said that he had died at his
country seat, Lasnays, Poliana, in the

FIXING VALUE
OF CLAY LAND
IN MIDDL.ESEX

Trenton, Nov. 17:-On the ground
of an erroneous charge by the trial
judge the Court of Errors and APP
peals- has set aside a verdict in the
condemnation proceedings instituted
on behalf of the New Jersey Short
Line Railroad Company to acquire
possession of about two acres of
land belonging to Mariana w.
Manning, in Woodbridge township,
Middlesex county. The appeal was
taken by the woman and her tenant,
Andrew Junker.
The evidence showed that practi-
cally the entire tract was underlaid
with a deposit of clay which consti-
tuted the principal element of value
In the property, For the complain
ants it was contended that the con-
demnation of the land would carry
with 1t an obligation upon AUDITING
owners to support laterally the rail-
road property together with any ad-
ditional weight which might be
placed upon it for railroad purposes.
The effect of such an obligation
would prevent the digging of clay
for some distance on either side of
the tracks unless a retaining wall
vas built.
The trial judge charged that there
would be no such obligation upon
the owners Of the property adjacent
to that condemned, and consequent
ly that element was not considered
In awarding the damages. This in
struction the Court of Errors held
to be erroneous.

BY LODGE TO
DR.. CR0WTHER

Trenton, Nov. 17:-Praetically al
of the special business was disposed of
by the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
Yesterday, which was the first of the
two days session of the se~venty-sev-
enth annual convocation, which is be
ing held in Masonic hall. There are
nearly 500 members present, a record
breaking attendance.
Most important of yesterdays pro-
ceedings were the election of officers
and the submission of constitutional
amendments, which, if adopted, will re-
suit in almost a complete revision OF
the constitution.
Grand Master Thomas f. English
called the lodge to order, welcoming
the visiting officials of the order from
other states, of which there were a
number present.
For the first time in many years the
officers of the grand lodge were elected
on the first ballot. They were chosen
for the ensuing year as follows:
Grand Master, William T. Robbins,
Hamilton Square; deputy grand master,
Charles A. Woodruff, Newark; grand
warden, George w. Shinn, Burlington;
grand secretary, Harry s.. Pine, Tren-
ton; grand treasurer, Joseph R. Dea-
con, Bordentown; grand representative
c. Fleming Stranger, Glassboro.
DIR. Frank Crowther, of Perth Amboy
past grand master, was elected to FIJI
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of a grand representative.
DR.. Crowther was elected a grand
representative a year ago, but subse-
quently resigned because he could not
fulfill the duties of the office, owing to
the death of his wife.
Grand Secretary Harry s. Pineswas
appointed to fill the vacancy, and fol-
the Sovereign Grand Lodge
session, Mr.. Pine resigned, thus leaving
the vacancy to which DR.. Crowther was
elected.
DR.. Crowther was elected by a rising
and without a dissenting vote. It was
a compliment without precedent in the
grand lodge and the tribute indicated
the feeling of confidence and placed
the lodge on record as rewarding DR..
Crowther for his fidelity and ability.
Rev. Edward Mount, of Williams
town, was appointed grand chaplain for
the session, and Rev. B. G. Lippincott
Jr, of Matawan, was similarly desig.
mated as assistant grand secretary.
Those from this city who represented
the two local lodges were Charles Nc
