Railroad Company
Wins Its Case
On Appeal.
NEED NOT WIDEN
gpeclai to the EVENING NEWS

Special to the EVENING NEWS
Trenton, June 21:-The Court of
Errors and Appeals has filed an
opinion reversing the decision of
Vice Chancellor Stevenson directing
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
to widen that part of Ridgeway or
Stevens avenue In South Amboy
which Is notoriously known as the
"Hole-in-the- Wall" This litigation
has been in the courts for FIVE years
The chancery decree ordered the
railroad company to widen the
"hole-in-the-walP from fourteen to
thirty-three feet, to increase it's
heighth from 10 to 12h feet, to
light the passageway and to improve
the drainage of it's approaches. If
this decree was enforced according
to its terms it would eject the rail-
road company of a piece of land 10
feet wide and of underlined length
which has been in possession of the
company for at least sixty years.
The Court of Errors opinion is by
Justice Vredenburgh, who says in
his syllabus:
Section 29 of the laws of 1903
providing that where any railroad
company shall not properly con-
struct crossings of highways as re-
quired by law, the municipality
where the crossings are located may
proceed by suit in equity to COM
pei specific performance of the du-
ties imposed by law on the company,
Is not applicable to case where the
fact of an alleged encroachment up
on the highway by the railway com
pany is in doubt and substantial dis
pute under the evidence, or has not
been settled at law, and confers no
jurisdiction upon court of equity
to try such controversy.
Nor can the bill be sustained as
one for the abatement of q public
nuisance by injunction, where there
is no averment in 1t of irreparable
damage and the evidence shows a
substantial dispute as to the fact of
the nuisance upon which the bin Is
founded, and the question is In
doubt, or has not been determined
by law
The reversal of the chancery de-
cision is based entirely upon the
legal technicalities recited in the
foregoing syllabus. The suit was by
the mayor and common council OF
South Amboy and the Board of Free
holders of Middlesex county against
the Pennsylvania railroad.

NO TROLLEY
OVER RIVER
UNTIL JULY


Notwithstanding rumors to the
contrary. the Jersey Central Trac-
tion Company's line connecting this
city with South Amboy will not be in
operation before the middle Of July,
say officials of the company. Yes
terday, June 20, was the date prom
ised for the opening of the line, but
because of late application to the
Board OF Freeholders for a change
of route through South Amboy, work
was at a standstill In that city for a
month or more.
A road has been cleared through
the woods several hundred feet be-
low the bridge approach on the
south shore, lessening the journey
from this city to South Amboy CON
siderably, 1t is on this road that
most of the construction work is now
being executed.
The trestle from the south shore
of the river to the county bridge has
been completed and is now ready for
use, although the poles are not yet
in place. On the trestle north of the
draw work is being rushed. This
part of the line will be completed in
about three weeks.
Tracks are being laid on Sheridan
street, Market street and Davidson
avenue. On the last named thor
oughfare the first trolley car to be
run on any part of the new line was
put in operation Friday.

complete continuous turn In one
street. There were some last night
who favored making the line Of
march shorter, but the committee in
charge declared that the length of
the procession made it necessary to
string 1t out In order that the head
would not run into the tail. The de-
tails weer left with the committee.
Automobile Prizes.
Prizes will be awarded for the
grotesque characters and the best
decorated automobiles. For the lat
ter DR.. Ramsay suggested three
prizes last night. A cup for the best
decorated machine, horn for the
second best, and a clock for the
third. The judges are to be G. @.
Baldwin, of this city; Mayor ]. j.
Scully, OF South Amboy; DIR. A. L.
Ellis, of Metuchen; Thomas Duni-
gan, of Woodbridge, and possibly
George A. Viehmann, of New Bruns-
wick
Judge Lyon For Speaker.
The general committee, by unani-
nous vote last night, asked the
speakers committee to secure Judge
Lyon for the principal speaker of the
day. 1t was left with the committee
to secure the other speakers.
The Fireworks.
The fireworks promise to be the
finest ever seen in this vicinity. The
more money raised the better they
will be. 1t was thought the best
place for the fireworks would be on
a float off the Bluff 1t was sug-
gested, however, that IL enough
money can be raised there should be
two sets of fireworks, one on the
Bluff and the other in the fields lear
Woodbridge road, the highest point
In the city. There they would not
only be enjoyed by the big Y0pula-
tion of that section, but could be
seen from all sections OF the city.
This was for the benefit OF the thou
sands who will not be able to go to
the Bluff to see the display. All this
takes money, however The COM
mittee is willing to do the work, but
they must have the funds TO do 1t
with. 1t Is up to the people just now
big q celebration we nave.
The music committee wants to
hire fine concert band for the day,
but 1t depends on the money. Tho
matter of music was left entirely in
the hands of the committee
A feature of the day will be the
firing of salute Of twenty-one guns
, at sunrise by aerial bombs. The diff
ferent churches will also be asked
to have their church bells rung at
the same time, so that Perth AM
boy can give genuine welcome to
the nations birthday.

Claiming that Jacob Castelbaum,
who conducts distillery in the rear
of his residence at 230 Prospect
street, has been defrauding the gov
ernment of about $165 per day in
evading the duty on distilled goods,
inspectors IN the employ of the in
ternal revenue service this morning
placed Jacob Castelbaum, Jr., and
his mother, Mrs. Jacob Castelbaum,
under arrest.
According to Joseph O'Hearne, an
internal revenue inspector with
offices in the New York Custom
House, who entered the place early
this morning, .Castelbaum has carted
the liquor from his distillery every
morning in wagon to the East Side
of New York, where 1t has been dis
posed of. About twenty five-gallon
cans, he says, have been taken to
New York every day, the aggregate
duty on which is $165. Castelbaum,
Sr., before the inspector had a
chance to place him In custody, 1t is
declared, escaped by diving through
window. His wife and son will be
taken before the United States Com
missioner at Newark this afternoon
esAAs ~ NbAAOy SoA Aut nion DOAOog Will
be released for a preliminary hear
ing later.
The distillers, according to John
Sinsell, revenue agent in charge,
who came here this morning after
the visit of his inspector, has been
under observation for over three
weeks. This morning he authorized
O'Hearne to make arrests
O'Hearne reached this city on the
first train this morning and secreted
himself in a barn directly across the
street which is owned by Edward
Grace. From shortly after 4 o'clock
until the time of the arrests he
watched the operations of the dis
tillers. About 5:45 o'clock, he says,
Mr.. and Mrs. Castelbaum and their
son, Jacob, emerged from the distil-
lery carrying a fve-gallon can of
liquor, preparatory to loading their
wagon. The inspector left his hid
! ing place and entered the kitchen of
the house, from where, he claims,
they carried the liquor. Upon stat
ing his identity, he says, they set
upon him and attempted to beat him
into insensibility. O'Hearne says he
was on the alert, however, and

ell the expense Of repairing Amboy ave-
nue. and macadamizing Brace avenue,
the street committee will meet the free

street will be visited. Alderman Dal-
ton, chairman of the committee on
STREETS and sewers, reported at last
night g meeting Of the Board Of Alder

Because Amboy avenue and Brace
avenue, are in a sense, county roads,

penses. The matter was brought up at
a recent meeting Of the aldermen and it
was decided to have the freeholders

brought an umbrella, which he was
carrying, into use. The elder man,
he AYERS, escaped by jumping
through window. While he was
attempting to intercept Castelbaum,
Sr., O'Hearne says, the mans wife
and son tried to destroy the evidence
by kicking over the can of liquor
Edward Grace, the owner of the
shed from where the inspector
watched the distilIers, ran across
the street and assisted O'Hearne. He
telephoned to police headquarters
for an officer and Patrolman Tonne
son was sent to the distillery. He
was later relieved by Patrolman
Hanson.
With towel O'Hearne mopped up
some OF the spilled liquor from the
floor and placed 1t in can. The
towel and liquor he intended to use
as evidence, and he placed them In
a corner of the distillery.
Later this morning Mrs. Castel-
baum, watched by newspaper men,
was seen to enter the distillery while
the inspectors were absent, and
picking up towel wrung 1t out nn-
der a faucet. When the inspector
returned she handed him a towel,
remarking, You want this too,
don't you2" Mrs. Castelbaum, the
reporters declare, after they told
their story, asserted that their eyes
deceived them and that she had not
placed the towel under the water.
G. Van Voorhees,, New Jersey
State Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue, was notified that arrests
were to be made and he visited the
distillery this morning to take an
inventory of stock. He said he un-
derstood the alleged fraud had been
going on for two years or more.
While Castelbaum eludes the tax of
$165 per day on his liquor, the dep
uty collector says, he receives only a
small percentage of that amount
because the sale price of his
liquor is far lower than that OF
| legitimate whiskey. The distillery,
he said, is bonded according to law,
but the small revenue from the place
/ led the department to become sus-
picious.
| Castelbaum, according to Revenue
Agent John Sinsell, is liable to g
fine of $4,000 or Imprisonment for
three years.

Tor the first time in the Taft admin
istration today when Taft cancelled
his trip to New Haven, announcing
ne would stay in Washington to
achieve a satisfactory postal savings
bank bill. The Presidents action
may precipitate a big fight in the
senate. The insurgents and demo-
Gratis having determined to change
the House bill, which the President
demands they accept without amend
ment. The President announced
that he win stay in Washington all
summer If necessary to see that the
bill passes.
Taft considers the action of the
senators a breach of promise, but
the insurgents and democrats say
they are not bound by promises
made by the regular republicans.
The democrats and insurgents say it
is not within reason to ask them to
adopt, as a substitute, the House
measure after the senate has work
ed over a bill. The President de-
clares the senate measure a special
privilege bill.
Senator Bailey, democrat, OF Tex
