BOOKS AS INVESTMENTS.

"As the Hoe book sale continues it becomes daily
and more evident that the collector OF TINS won
derful library had keen sense of Values, says the
NJ Y. Times, "and that his acquisitions were made
with discrimination the accuracy of which is recog-
nzed by all American and European bibliophiles
In other words collecting with Mr.. Hoe was not
a mere fad and it was not personal fancy but en-
lghtened taste that gratifed he added treasure
to until he had what was admittedly the best
library of it's kind in the world To be not all
of us why some of his books fetch the prices
they do other people the mystery is no mystery
at all.
Presumably Mr. Hoe bought without thought of
selling again at a profit. He bought the books he
wanted and it is only incidentally that the books he
wanted increased in value as the years went on ana
were therefore wise investment as well as delight
to their owner. Had the same amount of money been
devoted by him the building of house that ex-
emplifed his ideas thoroughly as this library did
his Judgment the chances that the highest bid
for it would be less than half the csot, and
had like expenditure been made in laying out
country place, probably the auctoneers hammer would
record a loss of n-eighths if not more.
Whether not the prices paid for Mr. Hoes
books absurd" is question to be answered some
many years from now The only reason for calling
them so seems be that they much higher than
the prices commanded by the same books at previous
sales. That argument would have convicted Mr.. Hoe
himself extravaganza and folly since he frequently
paid huge advances prices realized before and
yet have turned out, some of the greatest
of them his best bargains. The present buyers
may have the same good fortune, and then the
cusation of absurdity will no longer be made against
them"
We agree that books-good books-are good in
vestments not only from the viewpoint of possible
monetary in the future but because of their
present merely literature But by good books
we do not the best sellers, although once in
while a good book does creep into that category. By

authors whose books bringing these amazing prices

According to the statistics there about 10000
lawyers New OF this number it is estimated
that 10 per cent make fortunes, 20 per cent make
competence, 80 per cent. decent living and 40 per
cent cannot make both ends meet. One thousand
dollars is the average income of the non-corpora
tion lawyer. Probably that 40 cent couldn't make
both ends meet in any other business either.

Chief Justice Shepard Finds
Control Passed From
Commissioners.

Denying the Jurisdiction of the Dis
triet Commissioners to regulate street
cars in the District, the District Court
of Appeals, in an opinion by Chief JUS
tice Shepard, declares that such au-
thority has passed from the Commits
sioners and now rests exclusively with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The decision is made on the appeal
of the Commissioners from the recent
action in Police Court discharging David
E. Willett, a motorman, charged with
using a dazzling headlight on his car,
In violation of a police regulation.
The information was quashed in Police
Court, the court holding that the Com
missioners have no Jurisdiction over
such traction affairs.
Under section 16 of the act of May %,
1908, the Court of Appeals finds that
authority over the operation of the
street cars in the District passed from
the Commissioners to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Complete power of regulation" saws
Chief Justice Shepard, having been
conferred by the said section of the act
upon the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, any power which the District
Commissioners may have in respect
thereof, under former acts of Congress,
terminated at once"
The judgment Of the lower court In
diseharging the defendant motorman is
affirmed.

Adolph and Marcellus Wollach, are the
alleged principals. Clara Hoffman, six
teen,, and Natalie, eleven, her two

their mother and half brothers.
The Hoffmans occupied the floor of
the five-story apartment house. and all
were away from home last night. Ron
ess, unable to sleep, was reading on the
floor below when a drop of what he
thought was water. fell on his news
paper. He ran to the Hoffman fiat and
knocked. There was no response, and
he called a policeman. They broke down
the door and found, they say, five big
with stumps of candles burning ION
them. The candles were snuffed, and
the fire marshal notified. When the
family returned early today all were
arrested. .
MR. Hoffman said she had recently
insured her furniture, but denied she

BENEFITS NO BAR
TO DAMAGE SUITS
Railroad Employe Gets
Award After Receiving
Financial Aid.

That employees of railroads, belonging
to benefit associations, may receive A.
nancial aid from such associations and
then sue for damages, is the decision
today of the District Court of Appeals,
affirming a judgment for $500, given
Theodore A. Shubert against the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington rail-
road.
The defendant railroad sought to deny
Shubert's damage suit, alleging he had
received money from the benefit as
Sociation and had, therefore, elected his
course of remedy for his injuries.
In decision by Chief Justice Shep-
ard, the Court of Appeals says such a
contract of railroad employees is null
and void. being prohibited under section
5 of the employers liability act. He also
holds that any money received by en-
pIoyes from such benefit associations,
supervised by the railroads, may be
deducted from any verdicts for dam
ages obtained later.

Has Caused Arrest
Of Pastor Husband

NEW YORK, March 6.-The Rev.
Frank Henry Marsland. forty years reg
ularly ordained minister Of the Metho-
dist Church, who has been substituting
III pulpit work and lecturing through
New Jersey. was locked in the North
Bergen Jail on a complaint made by his
wife, Estelle, charging him with living
with another woman.
Narsland was arrested ut his home.
81 Hill street, North Bergen. The
woman's name is Elsie Ider, aged twen-
ty-two. The couple. it is charged, have
a child a year old Marsland confessed
to the charge. He kissed the Ider
woman before he was led away by the
police. and said:
She knew my troubles when she
came to live with me. If get out of
this trouble I shall marry her as soon
as can he divorced from my wife. who
has been a source of torment to me for
five years"
The Bergen county authorities rather
sympathized with the minister. He
showed them a score or more of letters
from his wife and from various other
persons familiar with their affairs.
MaIsland also exhibited some legal doc
uments. He said his wife had been i'm
ploring him for years to sue her for
divorce. She wanted her freedom, he
said. but he was not inclined to give
it 10 her.
The charge against Marsland under
the New Jersey statutes is punishable
by imprisonment Of from three to five
years.
Mrs. Marsland became acquainted with
James Strcule a wealthy real estate
man at Lynbrook. Stroule had an auto
mobile, and Mrs. Stroule soon learned, 1t
is alleged, that her husband and Mrs.
Marsland were taking occasional auto
mobile rides together. Mrs. Stroule filed
suit for $4,000 damages against Mrs.
Marsland. 1t was settled, it was said,
out of court.
