j0rity in the Council

Meriden, Dec. 21.-For a year in
which there was no mayoralty con-

majorities of four and five and both
Democrats and Republicans are con-
sidering asking for a recount. James
F. Cloonan, DEM, was elected city
treasurer over Floyd Curtis, Rep, who
has held the office for the last ten
years with a. good majority. One
Democratic and one Republican con-
stable were elected. the Democrat be-
ing Linus Birdsey, who is SO years
old. Eight Democratic 'counciIm en-

yesterday.
Herman Hess, city clerk for 25

ways been a Republican majority in

KING C0NFERS
WITH ASQUITH
Belief in London Thar English
Ruler May Create Enough
Liberal Peers to do the Job
Especial from united Press.

London. Dec. 21.-There is grow
ing belief in London, today, as the
result Of the conference between
Premier Asquith and the King, that
the King will create enough Liberal
Peers to change the complexion OF
the upper body. There is nothing
tangible upon which to base this be-
lief. other than the fact that today's
conference was at the Kings request.
This lack Of proof, however, has not
prevented the Liberal leaders from
accepting today's developments as an
assurance of their parliamentary
triumph.
Asquith arrived in London. this
morning, from Scotland, whers he
had gone to be the guest of Lord
Roseberry, over Christmas. 1t is not
expected that the result of the con-
ference will be known, until the
Kings address is read upon the as
semblying of the new parliament.
There is no attempt to conceal the
fact that the conference relates to
the veto power.

Gothic Architecture,

Gothic architecture began about the
ninth century after Christ and soon
began to spread all over Europe. It's
great feature is the pointed arch, and
1t. was at first called the pointed
style" Most Of the glorious old world
cathedrals are in the Gothic, and it
is generally conceded that for religious
purposes no other style Of architecture
that the first idea of the Gothic was
suggested by the interlacing boughs
and trunks Of the great woods in which
German Christianity was formed;
hence the name Gothic.-Newia York

Became Good Americans.
There rs a popular belief among some
people that the Hessian fmercenaries
brought here by the British govern
ment to fight the Americans remained
here after the war was over and that
their descendants constitute q corsid-
1rable element Of the Pennsylvania
Germans Of today. Comparatively few
remained here after the war, because
the British government was under con-
tract to return such as escaped the
casualties Of the war after 1t was over.
The few that remained made good citf-
zens, as they made the very best SOL
diers against the Americans, and
whenever it was practical to do 80
they were put in the most responsible
places by the British commanders
The intense hatred at one time
against the so called Hessian soldiers,
some Of which still fingers with the
present generation, is very unjust, be-
cause they did not volunteer to fight
against the Americans, but they were
forced into the British service by the
impecunious German princes who sold
them to the British like 80 many
slaves The Hessian soldiers would
sometimes take notion to desert, and
they invariably found refuge among
some of the German colopists. A con-
siderable number of them were left
behind from time to time on marches,
on account Of sickness or wounds.
These always found ready welcome
among German settlers; few of. them
ever found the way back to their ma
tive neutrality-suspicious. &C. mans"

P. S. R. GETS INJUNCTION
IN HUDSON BRIDGE FIGHT.

The Public Service Railway Company
scored a point before Vice-Chancellor
Emery today in Its fight with the Hud-
son County Board of Freeholders over
the newly-completed bridge over the
Hackensack River connecting Kearny
with Jersey City, when Frank Bergen,
its general counsel, secured a tenn
porary injunction preventing the coun-
ty authorities from interfering with the
operation of the cars of the company
until the legal troubles are settled.
The situation in connection with this
bridge has been tense more than once.
and there have been frequent airings
OF it in %chancery courts, one resulting
in the serving of a restraining order by
Vice-Chaneellor Howell recently, direct
ing the removal of four guards at The
EIackonsack span, whose mission it was
10 keep the trolley cars off the bridge
1t was when the guards arrived at the
bridge that the people of Kearny VINO
use the Turnpike line, became much
alarmed, and the lawyers for the cor
poration got busy, with the result that
MI. Bergen secured the order calling
off the guards.
The question of compensation as to
the amount to be paid by the trolley
people to the county Is at the bottom
of the fight, the county claiming that
since the ears have become larger more
than $500 a year should be received for
the privilege of crossing the bridge.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS MUST
PAY TO RIDE ON P. S. R.

Notification of the cancelling of all
trolley passes issued to local. county
and municipal officials were sent out
to pass-holders yesterday by the Pub
lie Service Railway Company. The
passing of the passes is to take effect
at midnight on July 3.
The doing away of these compli-
mentaries by the Public Service is the
result OF the public utilities bill. which
becomes operative on July 4. n which
provides that these officials shall not
be furnished complimentary tickets.
The new act does not prohibit State
officials from using the passes, but the
list of those under this head who have
herStofore accepted complimentary
transportation is exceptionally small
and will cause the issuing of a very
small number. The act effects all lines
controlled by the Public Service
throughout the State.

IN LYNN
NOT IDENTIFIED
As NEWARK THUGS
Criminals Worked Recently in
Pittsburg, According to
Sergeant Tuite.

After a day spent in Lynn, Mass,
where they had gone to attempt to
identify the bandits who terrorized the
geant Tuite, of the detective bureau,
and Detective Myers, of the prosecu-
tors office, returned to this city early
today and reported to their respective
superiors.
According to Sergeant Tuite they
were unable definitely to connect any
of the Lynn desperadoes with the hold
ups of 1909 in this city. nor with the
murder of Father Ansion, though, 1t is
said, they belong to the same general
organization which has been operating
throughout the country.
The fight In Lynn, according TO
Tuite's story, was even more desperate
than the newspaper stories would indf-
cate. On the crowded streets men
stood but a few PAGES apart and
pumped bullets at each other until one
of them fell. That the battle was hot
may be understood from the fact that
the policeman who was killed had six
teen bullet wounds in his body. Ono
of the bandits, the youngest of the lot,
Is low In the hospital with a large
hole in the centre of his forehead.
Tuite says he displays wonderful hardi-
hood, and that the day he was there
h lad was walking about the hos
pital and talked freely with him, not
withstanding the fact that the wound
Is such a terrible one that the doctors
are afraid to probe for the bullet.
The officers say. however, that the
men concerned in the Lynn robbery
are, without doubt, the same ones who
committed the same kin of a crime In
Pittsburg about two months g the
prisoners now in custody in Lynn all
having hats with Pittsburg dealers
marks in them. One of them, Tuite
says, admitted that he was in tho
Smoky City at that time.
Though Tuite thought he knew the
man in the hospital as one of the men,
bers of the gang who operated in this
locality, he could not be sure, as the
mans wound precluded possibility of a
certain Identification. The men would
not talk on the subject, being particu-
larly chary about giving information
about their pals.
A remarkable feature of the Lynn
hold-up was that all but 81 of the 5000
stolen was recovered.

In order to remove the boy It was

ORPHANAGE SEEKS
BOY COMMITTED
TO ITS CUSTODY
East Orange Woman Now in
Possession Opposes Move to
Take Child from State.

The legal contest for jolly little A.
year-old Kenneth Williams. who is
claimed by Mrs. William T. Murray,
of the Church of the Healing Christ, 9S
Warrington place, East Orange, and by
the st. Mary's Protestant Episcopal
Orphanage, of Providence, r. l., vas
again before Vice-Chancellor Howell In
argument on the writ of habeas corpus
occupied the attention of court and
counsel several hours.
The boy, neatly dressed In white
duck, was jealously guarded by Mrs.
Murray and her governess.
Alexander Simpson, of Jersey City,
who appeared for the Murrays, In open
ing the argument asked for the dis
missal of the writ, while former Judge
Thomas L. Raymond opposed him, say
ing that the orphanage had the right
to the custody of the child in every
legal way, as 1t had been committed
to its care under the laws of the State
of Rhode Island.
Attacks Murray,a Methods.
Mr.. Raymond attacked the Murrays'
method of providing for the children
they have in charge, and said the chill
dren now at their home are really sup
ported by contributions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray he remarked,
made many rapid changes in religious
movements lately. First they were
Episcopalians, then Roman Catholics,
than Chrtcfian Cainrttatg tIoc loonp,o
d%isgrunt1ed and established a church
of their own, which they call the
Church of the Healing Christ. That Is
their business What sort of persons
are these, anyway, who move every
year regularly? -
This woman has a perfect mania
for the adoption of children"
Mr.. Simpson spent considerable time
on the question of the income of the
Murrays and their ability to support
the boy properly. The actual income,
he said, could not be gagged, any more
thai that of a lawyer or a physician,
as men In either of these professions
are liable to be stricken at any time
and unable to support either them
selves or others.
Either Couid support Child.
A the same time. however," he
added, I'VE have this situation. We
lave not only Mr.. Murray's ability 70
ear a good livelihood. but Mrs. Muir
rays as well. In case one would fail
the other could take the place of the
%provider for the boy. The best interest
Of the child would be served by keep
Ing 1t in the care and custody of the
Murrays.
Former Judge Raymond In the
course of his argument admitted that
he could not find any statute to cover
h case, saying that he did not base
his appeal OF the ground of the
statute, anyway, but in the first place
on the ground of the common law
power of the chancellor to issue the
writ OF habeas corpus. and. in the
second place, to the chancellor's in
herent jurisdiction to dispose of the
custody of Infants.
Many authorities covering these
points were cited by the lawyer.
At the close of the argument the
Vice-Chancellor directed the interest
ed lawyers to file their papers and an
nounced that he reserved decision.
