DAMN" NO CUss WORD,
DECIDES A JERSEY JURY
Surrogate Who Told Woman She Was
That Kind Of Fool Acquitted BY
His Peers.

NEW YORK, March 25.-According
to a verdict brought In by six men
sitting as jury before Justice of the
Peace James III. Belethe. In Morris
town, N. j.. damn" is not an oath. or
swear word" such as Is prohibited
by the Vice and immortality act of
New Jersey.
Surrogate David Young. who was on
trial for saying that Mrs. Nellie Fitz-
herbert OF Dover "talkeo like a damn
fool, acknowledged he had used the
expression, but his counsel insisted
that such an expression was not
swearing. The Jury agreed with him
aud acquitted Young.
Mrs. Fitzherbert testified that she
was In Youngs office in Morristown
recently TO get copy OF will In
which she was interested. She read
the copy and told the Surrogate that
II was not true copy. He offered 10
bet her dollar that IL was a true
copy. She took the bet and put up her
dollar.
The copy was compared with the
copy the word mot" was left out
completely altering one of the provis.
ions OF the Will She won her bet.
Later Mrs. Fitzherbert visited
Young's office again and tainted him
upon losing the bet. She told him
that he was all right. but in tho
wrong place" He became angry and
said:
You talk like damn fool"
Young said that he had great provo
cation and merely wished to add EN-
phasis TO an assertion. The express
sion was merely an adjective intended
TO convey the idea that Mrs. Fitzher
bert talked not only like fool bu.
like very big fool-like very much
OF fool. He did not mean that she
was a condemned fool.

WEIRD CEREMONY
Turns Sod at 3 A. M. To Cure Can
Ger, She Explains-Damage Suit
Recalls Mrs. Jergensky's Arrest.

Annie C. Jergerisky. of No. l52 The
odore-st.. u seeress and faith-healer.
and incidentally a dressmaker. brought
suit against the ID. L. X. in Judge Don
ovan's court, Friday morning. to re-
cover damages for injuries sustained
when she fell from tar at Jefferson
ave. and the Belle Isle bridge APP
proach. June T. 1907. She Is asking
for $4,000.
Mrs. Jergerisky has figured promi
nently In the papers on two occasions
since her injury She first came into
notice when on Oct. a. 1907, at 3
o'clock in the morning. In company
with her brother and little girl, she
was arrested while digging holes be-
hind billboard In Delray. The second
occasion was when she brought suit
against Benjamin Wilson. a neighbor
about year ago, charging him with
beating and assaulting her. This was
a neighborhood row which resulted
from the annoyance caused by her
pack of dogs. She was awarded YER
dicted OF $50.
During the trial Friday morning Mrs.
Jergerisky was questioned about her
arrest in Delray, and she explained
that IL was part of a ceremony in her
methods of healing.
IL was there turning over the sod"
she said and that was done so as to
strengthen woman who had recently
undergone an operation for cancer.
Every time the sod turned over the
woman turned over In her bed. In
that way she was made strong and re-
covered"
What was your brother doing
there?"
"He was he,"ing me-"
"And the little 10-year-old girl, what
was her part?'
she just prayed all the time"
Weren't you shoying the little girl
back and forth through a hole in the
billboard when the policeman found
you?"
mo: we didn't do anything like
that"
"How many times did you go to Del
ray?"

"And why there?"
"That was where the angel Casimir
directed me TO Dig

"He is an angel"
"Where is he now?"
"He lives with God in heaven"
"Where were you going the night

Were you going to dig on Belle
Isle?'
"Oh. no. They wouldn't let me dig
on Belle Isle. But can't tell you what
I was going to do. was moved To 60"
The attorneys for the ID. u. X. put in
no defense and will argue that a wo-
man who could travel five miles to
Delray nine times at 3 o'clock in the
morning and dig holes. was not badly
hurt.
Mrs. Jcrgerisky is a native of Hun
gary, and woman apparently OF some
education She speaks good English

BATTLES FOR LIFE
IN WILDERNESS
Lumberjack Becomes Lost and Lives
On Squirrels for Ten Days
Fight May Be in Vain.

SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich, March
25.-Rivaling in its sensational details
the stories OF Jack London and Rex
Beach, a tale OF the north woods was
brought here today of how man
faced death for ten days when 1t
would have been far easier to sue
cumb, and finally was saved. He lies
in the hospital here today and ply
sicians say his bitter struggle for life
probably will have been in vain.
The man. Eli Kankus, Finn,
sought employment in a lumber camp
near here. He got lost In the woods
and, exhausted by running. shouting,
and lack of food, lay down. He fell
asleep and when he awoke both feet
and hands were frozen.
Kankus only knew that he must
keep going, that he must live, and on
hands and knees he began crawling,
crying for help. when his throat
would make any sound at all. Several
days he went without food and
thought he must give up. At last he
came to a trap with red squirrel in
IT, He wrung the animals neck and
devoured It,
He went on, the frozen ground cut
ting his knees and hands at every
motion. and finally came to another
trapped squirrel. He kept 1t up ten
days.
Indians found their traps robbed
and followed the trail. When they
found Kankus he had fallen fiat. but
was febly trying to crawl on. They
carried him to Mile 81 on the Algoma
Central railroad and a special train
was sent here with him today.
Both Kankus' feet and hands must
be amputated, II he gets strong
enough, but it is not thought he will.

ATTORNEY GENERAL ADVISES
 ACTION AT OLD CAPITAL.
Dismissal of Injunction Suit and Atti. tude of the Federal Government
 Seems Opposed to Removal.

Guthrie, Okla, June 27.-Following the decision of United StaCes Judge Ralph Campbell dismissing the Guth- rie petition for an injunction to pre- vent the removal of books and rec ords of the state from Guthrie to OK lahoma City, Attorney General Wese advised the various state officers that 1t would be best for them to resume transaction of official business Con sequently the financial end of the state government got under way again and State Auditor Trap and Treasurer Jim Menefee have issued and paid warrants as if nothing had happened.
 The attorney general gathered from the Campbell decision that the courts would probably sustain the binding ef- feet of the enabling act should the case be brought in the proper man ner, and though he intends to press the pending injunction case in the dis trict court to a determination, he con- sidered it advisable not to tie up the business of the state any longer
 It is strongly intimated that the United States will institute action for itself to enforce performance of the contract and fulfillment of the com~ pact in the enabling act.

ExTRADiTION NOT TO BE OP- POSED IF WIFE SLAYER IS
 DECLARED SANE.
FATHER ASKS FAIR PLAY
Captain Scott Employs Counsel, De- termined to See That His Sisters Death Is
 Avenged.

Jersey City, N. J., June 27-The means to be employed to prevent Por- tsr Charlton being extradited to Italy, to stand trial for the murder of his wife. Mrs Mary Scott Charlton, will be determined within the next few days. Everything hinges on the re- port to Lawyer William D. Edwards. who has commissioned four alienists pr. A. M Hamilton. Dr. Charles A Dana, Dr, Arlitz and Dr. Fisher-to make a thorough examination of Charlton. If they unite in declaring be Is insane. every effort will be made to have him sent to an asylum for treatment.
 If on the other hand. they decide that he is not insane, but that he un- derstands what he is doing there will be no opposition to his being taken back to Italy. Attorney Edwards de- clared.
 As soon as the report of the alien sts is made, should they agree that Charlton is not of sound mind, appli- cation will be made for writ of ha- heas corpus to get him out of the jail here In this way 1t is expected he can be committed to an asylum, where he can be properly cared for.
 This will precipitate lively fight. Attorney Emil Fuchs, representing Capt. Scott, brother of the murdered woman, is hard at work compiling data to show that Charlton is sane This consists of statements from for mer friends of the young bank clerk and letters he sent to this country rom Italy, which are perfectly co L~:ont and apparently the work of normal person.
 Father Asks Only Fair Play.
 All ask for my son ia justice and fair play l believe him insane. and wish to ascertain definitely if such be lhe case. If he should prove 10 be sane and guilty. I will not stand In the way of justice Let him be taken back to Italy and tried according to law. But l cannoJ believe he is sane"
