ECHO OF THE FIGHT.

remarks that Senator DreXler was the choice of

Senate for president pro tempore, "and this cannot
he denied by the Senators themselves because by
act or word they have said so, and for this we
vouch
This statement by the Republican is different
from what we have heard about the matter SEN
ator Drexler may have believed or imagined that
he was the choice of a majority of the Senators,
and he may have inferred that he would
be chosen president pro tempore. But the facts
that developed are that two of the Senators, Mr..
Miller and Mr.. Pierce, did vote for Mr. Drexer,
and that all the support he received from
his colleagues. The way We hear the story is
that at no time did Senator Drexler have ma
jority Of the Republican members pledged to him.
AT least his colleagues did not understand that
such pledges had been given On the contrary it
was reported here that Mr. Drexler would not be
chosen TO the Office he wanted. Mr. Drexer had
a right to aspire TO be president pro tempore Of
the Senate and his Republican colleagues surely
had right TO vote against him.

Well there is one railroad interest on which we
can all agree. The newspapers of the State have
declared in favor of an anttrespass law, subject
that is agitating the railroads more than anything
else at present And the Legislature should
promptly pass an ant-trespass law, not merely be-
cause the Railroad Company wants it, but because
il is right and proper that there should be such
law.

CONFUSION IN REGISTRY
WORK IN JERSEY CITY.
Geran Law Causes No End of
Trouble There.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. Reflection of
ficers had their own troubles yesterday.
Very few of them understood the work
ings of the new Geran law, and voters
who wanted to register for the election
as we'll as the primaries did not take
kindly to the many questions that were
asked them. Many old residents who
have been voting for years refused to
give the information sought by the
election officers and required by law,
and went away declaring that they
would not vote at all If they had to
submit to such nonsensical questions.
They registered for the primaries, but
not for the election.
The registration for the election was
light, but that for the primaries was
heavy, owing to the fact that the anne
of voters were carried over from the
poll books of last year. There was
scarcely a voting district in which
there was not a mixup. A number of
election boards ignored the law. In
several instances the primary registra-
tons of both Democrats and Republi-
cans were written In the one book
without any party designations.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-'Death due
to neglect was the verdict of the
%coroner's jury in the inquest held be-
fore Coroner Feinberg yesterday on the
death of Arthur w. Eager, manager of
the Martha Washington Hotel. Mr.,
Eager died on August II, after three
years of Christian Science treatment,
The jury found that. although the
death a really due to chronic
malaria, this ailment had been aggra-
waited into many other diseases by
neglect.
AT the inquest il developed that
Eager was a devout Christian Scientist
and an usher in one of the Science
churches. Mrs. Mary Wilson Meeker,
a Christian Science practitioner at 81
Madison avenue, was the only person
to treat him during his long illness
Just before Mr.. Eager died DIR. Eugene
Hancock was called by Mrs. Eager. DR..
Hancock testified that he was so low
then that she was unable to do any
thing to save his life.
Mrs. Meeker is young and was hand
somely gowned. She testified that she
had been treating Mr.. Eager for nearly
three years. AT one time he had
typhoid fever, which yielded to the
treatment.
DO you, a Christian Scientist, be-
lieve there is no such thing as disease
and yet speak of malaria and typhoid
and giving treatment for them?" asked
the coroner.
II do not deny disease. | call myself
a healer. How could | heal If there
were no disease replied the witness.
What is you treatment asked
Coroner Feinberg.
Prayer" answered Mrs. Meeker,
Coroner Feinberg, addressing the
jury, disclaimed any intention of at
lacking a religious belief, but said:
IF Mrs. Meeker's argument Is right,
the Johnstown food could have been
stopped by absent treatment from this
city. Gentlemen, ] turn the matter
over to you for consideration"
The jury was out only five minutes,
The verdict seemed to surprise Mrs.
Meeker.

WIFE LAYS BARE
STARTLING PLOT
IN DIVORCE CASE
Says Husband Paid Her to Go
to Hotel So He Could
~ Sue.

NEW YORK, Sept. Bone of the
city for many years took place in the
Supreme Court yesterday when Justice

plication made by her for counsel fees
and ahmony pending the trial of a
suit for divorce brought against her,
but to remove from the county clerks
Office all papers in the case
The statements made in these papers
by Mrs. Nugent told an extraordinary
story of an alleged conspiracy between
her husband and certain lawyers to
make out against her a cause for
divorce. She said she and her hts-
band, Charles Nugent, who, she said,
was a bookmaker, had been married
in 1889 and hat he left her in July of
that year.
When her husband left her, she con-
tinued, h offered her $50 a week If
she would sign a separation agree
ment. The offer, however, she alleges,
was conditioned upon her agreeing to
go with detectives to a hotel in order
to furnish grounds for a divorce.
Mrs. Nugent averred that she
scorned this proposal at first, but her
financial condition eventually com
PEELED her to agree, and after several
days she t%elephoned the lawyer to this
effect. AS a result, a detective called
on her at her room in West Eighteen
street. According to her affidavit he
was rather human for a detective, Tor
he said: This is pretty near bust
ness hut it's the way I've got to make
a living" They went to a hotel in
Columbus avenue she said, n hardly
had entered the place when two other
men whom she believed to be detec-
tives entered. AS the first mai was
