DONOVAN ON TRIAL
FOR SUNDAY SELLING
Continued from page ~

Charles Laird and William Ware,
employed by the prosecutor, togeth-
err with Irving Smith and William
GARDEN, employed by the Drummond
Detective Agency, of New York,
went on the stand before 1 o'clock
this afternoon and testified that
liquor was sold several Sundays at
Donovan's place, which is located at
314 Front street, Perth Amboy.
Donovan went on the stand to de-
liquor had ever been sold on Sun
days at his place. He also swore
that the men te~stifying against him
had never been in his place. Will
liam Mcintyre, a boarder at Dono-
vans place, was also called for the
defense. He testified that boarders
had to buy liquors on Saturday In
order to secure a drink at Donovan's
place on a Sunday.
Lawyer Brown, for the defense,
wanted to call a bartender to testify
in behalf of Donovan, but he said
the witness must have left the court
room for a drink. The case went on
without him. At 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon the summing up began.
Each side used ten minutes for this.
Prosecutor Gets Letter.
An interesting feature, that may
result in a criminal action, came to
light in court this morning. Prose
cutor Booraem is understood to have
been threatened with bodily harm II
he continues to prosecute Perth
Amboy saloonkeepers. In court this
morning the prosecutor produced a
letter he had received by mail on
Saturday. He handed 1t to Donovan
and asked him to read 1t. The &C
cused saloonkeeper started, then
hesitated and refused to read fur
Their. The prosecutor asked him to
continue. He read on a bit further
and then stopped, refusing to finish
it. At the instaHec OF the prosecu-
tor the court commanded Donovan
to read the letter through. He did
SO and at the end said he knew
nothing about 1t.
The letter Is understood to have
been signed "Saloonkeeper." Fur
Their than the reading of 1t in court
the prosecutor would not divulge
it's contents. Indications are that
one of the biggest SANDER cases in
the history Of the county may result
from the sending of the communica-
tiOn.

COMMUTERS
PLAN STATE
CONVENTION

Newark, July 18:-There will be
q general convention of New Jersey
commuters next month, the exact
date yet to be fixed, in Common
wealth Hall, East Orange, to form
an organization that will interest IT.
self actively in the coming election
campaign. At this meeting there
Will be representatives from every
community in the northern part of
the state, where commuters reside
and a movement will be set on foot
for the formation of strong local or
CARNATIONS to cooperate with the
officers of the central league in any
plan that may be deemed necessary
for mutual protection.
Not only will candidates for office
be placed on record by these COM
muters' bodies, but 1t may be posi-
BILE that at that time a way will still
be open to fight the proposed In
creases in Communication rates and
that a concentrated effort. with the
financial assistance pledged, will be
made to thwart the extortion by the
railroads.
The Commuters League will with
in a few days appeal to the courts in
a final attempt to avoid the injustice
OF the higher Communication between
Jersey points and New York city.
Action will be brought in the United
States circuit court for an ~injunc-
ton to suspend the rates until an
investigation into their reasonable
ness shall have been completed and
a decision on their validity obtained.
Although the Interstate Commerce
Commission decided against the
commuters by refusing to suspend
the rates after the recent hearing In
Washington, 1t upheld the conten-
ton of the petitioners that it had ju-
risdictlon over Communication rates
and promised to go into the question
further of increased rates.
The prima facie cas- made out by
the railroads before the commission
does not establish the justice of the
rates, but 1t forces the commuters
into the position of gathering data,
at great expense, to rebuilt the con-
tention of the carrying corporations.
On this account Terry arker, counsel
for the Commuters League, has for
warded to Frank II. Sommer, pres
ident of Public Utilities Commission,
a letter setting forth reasons why,
in his view, the head of the utilities
board should act in the matter of
obtaining the Injunction. II the
commission finds that it cannot act,
the Commuters League will take tho
initiative in the courts. Mr.. Parker
will likely appear in its behalf.
The application for the in3unc-
ton will be made on general
grounds. Technical pUists viii hs
involved. One of them
will be that notices of the srsua
rates We're not properly Sosteu.
If the commission has to act of its
own accord, the application for an
injunction, as a matter of conyen-
ience, will likely be made in New
York.

Tia stariinn,s Tonnnn.

1t is extraordinary how many per
sons are under the impression that, in
order to enable a bird to talk, 1t Is alb
solutely necessary to cut or slit its
tongue. l have heard that this fal-
lacy had its origin in the following
story: A man had a number of star
llngs in a large cage marked Fine
Young staTiings - Only / Shilling
EACH" and as each would be pur-
chaser arrived the man would say,
There's a fine bird there, sir" point
ing out one of them, "but l want half
a crown for him, because he's the only
one with a cut tongue, so he is bound
to be a taIker." he would then pro-
coed to catch the bird and show the
cut tongue and invariably succeeded
in efecting q sale. This dodge would
be repeated as each new customer ar
rived and departed rejoicing at his
good bargain. The reader perhaps is
not aware that all ~starlings have a
very peculiar formation at the ex-
tremity Of the tongue, which gives the
appearance Of a little piece having
been shipped out of it.-London Strand.

LOCUST CONES
PR0PHESY WAR
IN new JERSEY

New York, July 1S:-Raymond l..
Ditmars, assistant curator at the
Bronx Geological Garden, aroused
interest yesterday when he uncorked
a bottle and said that grim visaged
war will sweep the face of the state
of New Jersey before the corn is
down next summer.
According to Mr.. Ditmars there Is
no discounting a seventeen year To-
ust when he arrives with a w
marked on his back. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ditmars had Just recrossed the New
Jersey frontier after spending a day
prospecting for locust cones, and In
his bottle were six indisputable
cones, each cone the chrysalis of a
battle.
The whole soil of New Jersey, Mr..
Ditmars declared, is o one vast
nursery of locust cones, each cone
containing a locust grub. The grubs
will attain full locust stature by the
summer of 1911, at which time the
husbandmen Of the affected districts
will find themselves plunged into
war.
Grand Army button wearers, lis
tening to Mr.. Ditmars yesterday, re-
called that before 1851 swarms Of
locusts with a more or less clearly
defined W on their wings, marched
and countermarched all over the
land and evoked the expression war
locust" from some minor poet. Mr..
Ditmars was asked whether he
meant real war or only a war of bugs
and plants.
He said that he supplied the pub
lie schools with chronological and
not political forecasts.
