LIBEL CASE is
OFF FOR TODAY
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


New Brunswick, March 17:-As
Judge Lyon was unable to get here
today the Italian libel case which is
now on, was adjourned until tomor-
row. All of the defendants admit
handling the circulars in question,
their effort now being directed to
justify the declarations made there
in.
The testimony shows that there
are two factions of Italians in Perth
Amboy. One faction is known as the
socialists. This faction is opposed
to Father Galassi.
Joseph Mancinelli testified that he
was at the cornerstone laying of the
Italian church of which Father Ga
lassi has charge. He said he gave
some orders to the band on that oc-
casion and showed a copy of a So
cialist paper. When asked II he was
not afraid to let Father Galassi
know that he had socialist paper,
he said he didn't care a damn for the
priest. This was spoken in English.
The judge asked what he had said
after the witness had been dismissed
and upon being told, he called Man
cinelli to the stand and censured
him for using such language. Don't
you know that such language is not
proper in court room?" asked the
judge. Mancinelli said he did not,
as this was his first experience in
court. After he had taken his seat
the judge was informed that Man
cinelli had repeated his declaration
about the priest and had included
the court in his expression. The
judge again called him to the stand
and questioned him, but Mancinelli
denied that he had said anything
about the court.
Mayor Bollschweiler was in court
yesterday afternoon to testify, but
he was not called. 1t is understood
that the politicians will be called to-
morrow morning.

TO TURN DOWN
DR.. CROWTHER?
Special to the EVENING VIEWS.

New Brunswick, Mar 17:-It is
understood here that DR.. Frank
Crowther, of Perth Amboy. is not to
be reappointed to the County Board
of Taxation this year. Rumor has it
that former Sheriff Carman will be
named In his stead. This is all on
the supposltion that the bill now
pending in the legislature to abolish
the county boards does not pass. 1t
is well-known that Governor Fort is
opposed to the county boards of tax
alton, claiming that they have served
their usefulness. He wants them
abolished, but if the legislature re-
fuses to do this he will be called
upon to fill vacancies.

keith's Boston Theatre

Aside from the fact that Mr.. Keith
is playing at his Boston theatre a
number of unusually important head
line features such as Mrs. Patrick
Campbell; Gertrude Hoffman,; Den
man Thompson; and others who have
made the season a memorable one, the
bills have really been noteworthy for
the excellence of the all round vaude-
Vile and it is remarkable that during
the entire season not more than two
or three acts have been repeated and
these only because of the great de-
mand for them on the part of the pub
lie.
The principal feature of the show
for the coming week Is not yet an
nounced, but the surrounding bill is
one that in itself would attract atten-
ton.
