HARRISON MAN DIES FROM
ATTACK OF PARALYSIS.
Herman Cohen Was Insured for
$1,000 Only Month Ago.

After suffering for several hours from
a stroke of paralysis, Herman Cohn,
aged 20, of 4S Hamilton street, Har-

Hospital, this city. The deceased was
employed as a cook at the restaurant of
his wife's brother, Benjamin Pepper,

health.
Early in the morning his wife was
alarmed by a sudden illness which
seized him and called in DR.. Henry
Alters, reputy county physician Of
Hudson county. The physician, finding
later that his patients condition had
become critical, ordered him removed
to the hospital. Patrolmen Riley and
McManus at II o'clock in the morning
toe the suffered then in a semi-con-
scious condition, to the hospital, where
he died at $40 o'clock.

dren. A month ago he was admitted
to- membership in E. F. Mcdonald
Council, 1922, Royal Arcanum, of Har-
rison, taking out 81. 200 of insurance. At
that time it was remarked that he
passed the physical examination with
an excellent record.

TEXAS CO. CAN'T
ENTER JERSEY
. ON SMALL FEE
$l2,OO0,O 900 Corporation Must
Pay $1,000 to Do Bust
ness Here.

TRENTON, Marcn The Texas
Company, a 81, 900, 900 corporation, has
failed in its attempt to get into this
State TO do business upon the payment
OF a fee of only $40, Justice Reed hav-
ing filed in the Supreme Court today an
opinion refusing to allow a writ of man
damus compelling Secretary of State
Dickinson to accept d certificate per-
hitting the company to engage in bust
ness here for the fee named,
II the corporation now desires to get
permission from the State TO transac
business here it VIII have to pay the Zee
asked by the Secretary of State, namely,
$12,ti0
When the Texas company applied for
a certificate permitting it TO operate in
this State, Secretary Dickinson re-
quired, under section 101 of the corpora
ton act, that it should pay the same
amount here as a fee that the State of
Texas exacts of New Jersey corpora
lions to ransact business there. This
made the fee ST., 040, as stated. The
company refused to pay n brought
the suit for the writ of mandamus.
1t was held by the Texas company
tina section 101 of the corporation act
was unconstitutional. Justice Reed
holds that the section is constitutional
and his opinion declares that the con-
~stitutionality of such acts as this has
been upheld against the objection that
they involve the passing of laws which
are to take an effect upon the con-
%ringency of certain legislation in other
States, since it is competent in the
Legislature of a State in its providence
to enact statutes which become op-
erative only upon the happening of
The contingency named.
Counsel for the company held also
that the section referred to had been
repealed and was no longer in force,
The retaliatory provision was in an act
OF 1894, which was implicitly repealed
by an act of 1904. This repeater was
repealed in express terms in 1905. The
court holds that the repeal of the act
of 1904, under the common law doctrine
of statutory construction, operated to
revive the act OF 1924, ndsthat there
fore it is in force.
Summing up Justice Reed holds that,
under the law, the r~etaliatory provision
is enforceable. and therefore the man.
Janus is denied.

Schmidt. a grocer, of 100 South Four
tenth street, who committed suicide
Yesterday by inhaling illuminating gas,

row afternoon at 2 O'Clock. Woodland

After bidding his wife and two sons
good night at 10 p. m. E 'turday, Mr..

joins that of his wife, in the rear of
the grocery store. He was found Sun
day morning at I O'Clock by his wife on
the floor of the store with a pillow be-
meath his head and a gas tube in mis-
mouth.
AS the mans body was still warm,
Mrs. Schmidt at once sent for DR..

who pronounced Schmidt dead. Haberle
Bros, undertakers, then removed the
body to their establishment at 453
Springfield avenue.
Some time ago Mr.. Schmidt fell on
the icy pavement and injured his leg,
from which he had suffered excruci-
ating pain, according to his wife. She
believes the injured leg caused her
husband so much pain early Sunday
morning that he arose and ended it all.
Mr.. Schmidt was born in Germany 81
years age, coming to this city at the
age Of 2S. He had been a member of
many local singing societies, but had

WHOLE FAMILY
Poisoned POLICE
HUNT PEOOLER
Vendor Suspected of Dragging
Food in Revenge for Failure
to Make Sale.

JERSEY CITY. March THE local
police are looking for a foreigner, who
Is alleged to have placed poison in the
food of a family at 126 Griffith street.
DR.. Hermann Lehman, of the local
Board of Health. a chemist. analysed
the food said to contain poison and
found what he calls lead poisoning in it.
On March 4, in the morning, a wine
vendor called at the h~at-cleanine shop
of Ralph Astarita, at 125 Griffith street,
and offered some wine and oil for sale
Astarita said he didn't want any of the
stuff.
The vendor asked for a drink of water.
He was told to go into a rear room and
help himself. He went and before leav-
ing the premises left with Astarita for
sampling purposes, he said, a bottle of
wine and two walls of oil.
Later in the day Astarita and his
family. a wife and several daughters,
sat down to eat a meal of beans, onions
n macaroni. The food tasted queer
to them and they pushed it aside. Later
all became i'll. Captain Charles Har-
rington, at the Central avenue station,
was visited by Astarita, who told of his
family's illness and the visit by the
man who wanted to sell him some wine
and oil.
Astarita said he thought that the
wine salesman became angry because
he would not buy and had placed poison
in the food that was cooking on the
kitchen stove when he went to get a
drink of water. The Astaritas live back
of the cleaning shop. Samples of the
cooked beans, onions and macaroni were
given to Captain Harrington, who turned
them over to the Board of Health.
Astarita also told Captain Harrington
that he gave some. of the food to a dog
and the animal became i'll.

parties concerned; and other cases
which weer Of the utmost Importance,
but which had gone by the board
I'm other words l tried to make two
things clear; the predicament of the
poor unfortunate individual who by
force of circumstances falls into the
clutches of the criminal law. it he has
no means or influence, in which case
a severe penalty is melted out to him.
and on the other hand the criminal by
profession who is of greater danger to
society because he plots and acts in
cold blood, If he has money and influ-
ence, generally escapes punishment.
IT believe that my comparisons were
Just, fair and supported by facts. These
are matters of record, and may be vefl'
fed at any time. If l did not further
elaborate on the different cases cited
it was because the time was limited to
twenty minutes. However, I believe
that my address was plain enough and
specific enough to enable any fair
minded person to understand my attl-
tude on the premises, and / dc that
he attitude of our county judges and
the prosecutor of Essex county sup
poats all the contentious, in that not one
specific case have they wen attempted
to contradict and confute.
Invites investigation.
This matter is, 1 consider. one OF
the creates Importance. ! had no in
tention of making a personal attack
against anyone; | was simply asked to
give my views on the question as to
how the foreigners are treated in the
--..-- aN,,r+. In 81 doing o. we
both views of the case, and could not
properly be accused of impartiaiity or
personal animosity against anyone.
However, If the impression Is abroad
that my address was unfair to the
courts, | will cheerfuliy invite any
inquiry into the facts, as the
committee of the conference has SO
wisely suggested. l am positive that
my position would be justly verified by
the result. If, on the other hand, my
attitude was one of a trouble-maker,
and unfair to the courts, then l should
be called to- terms, and. if necessary,
punished.
"In conclusion, | desire to say that
my position has been misunderstood.
Ny sole object has been always to rem
der a worthy service to the cause of
Justice. 1t seems, however. that it is
a serious matter for anyone to criti-
else the courts, their shortcomings not
withstanding. because they seem to be
above criticism, and an institution to
be held aloof from its creator (the peo-
ple), and in absolute reverence.
"My respect for the courts is second
to none, and | hold these institutions in
true patriotic reverence. However. as
a citizen, | have the right to criticise
the abuses of the men to whose hands
the administration of the criminal laws
is committed"

was his own, but later admitted that
it belonged to Mrs. Margaret Keller, of

With so many prizes on the list in

contest it is hard to choose which is
the best and most desirable. In most

prize, the first, that is really worth

That is not the case in the STAR

down the line you go the more sur
prised you are at seeing such large re-

ventor, and of Silberberg regarding Virginia, he is insoletHly
treated and takes French leave by d parachute. The para
chute lands him in a sanatorium for inebriates, where he is
mistaken for an escaped patient and has difficulty in getting
away. One of the patients, Craighead, a whimsical person,
joins fortunes with Carson in his airship scheme, and inter-
