GOVERNOR HEARS
RIPARIAN PLEAS
Companies Object to His In
sistence Upon Only 25=
year Leases.
Especial TO the Newark start

TRENTON, Dec. Ex-Governor Will
son and the riparian commissioners are
giving a hearing this afternoon to a
number of applicants for riparian
grants. III principal purpose of the
hearing is to give the applicants an
opportunity to present arguments with
a view to overcoming the governors
objection to granting leases for a
longer period than twenty-five years.
Among those represented at the hear
ing are the Otis Elevator Company,
which desires a grant at Harrison; the
Land Filling and Title Company, of
Newark, and the Underclin Terminal
and Warehouse Company, of Edge
water on the Hudson. The latter
company was represented by w. q.
Taylor, its president, who is a New
York lawyer. Mr.. Taylor opened the
argument by saying il would be I'M
practicable for his company to make
contemplated improvements with a
lease TO run only twenty-five years.
There would not be sufficient security
for investors.
The riparian commissioners them
selves are understood to doubt the wis
dom of insisting upon short-term
leases, although they do not want to
openly take issue with the Governor.

accepted as a positive fact that each

This attitude, which the United States
does not attempt to oppose. renders
Jews returning or desiring to return

will continue uninterrupted between
now and the termination of the treaty
and even after the termination of the
treaty.

THINK AMNESIA SUFFERER
CAR KILLED WAS ROBBED.

The death of Charles Dougherty, So
years old, of Chicago, who was run
down by a Plank road a on Decem-
Der IA, has spurred The local police to
cause a thorough investigation into
the circumstances which led to the
man being in the n%eighborhood of the
Plank road on the day of the accident.
The motorman, Alfred Jones, of 515
South Fourteenth street, was ar
raigned today and held without bail
to await the action of the grand jury.
Hugh Tracey, of Cannon Station,
Conn, a nephew 70 the dead man, has
been in his city for two days working
on the case. He has been in constant
communication with the local police
authorities and is aiding them with
any information that he has of the
mans eccentricities
From information given by the po-
lice 1t was declared that Dougherty
left Chicago on the advice of DR..
Michaels, for. whom he was chauffeur,
to get a change of climate on account
of a slight attack or aphasia. When

several articles of jewelry. As has
been told the mar was picked up by
the Kearny police, who housed him
over night and then allowed him to
go. He came toward Newark, declar-
ing that he wished to purchase cloth
ing and go to the home of his nephew.
When picked up and taken to the
City Hospital Dougherty had very
little of the 800 that he had when he
was liberated by the Kearny police.
The theory of robbery is now seriously
entertained and that is the end on
which the police are now working.
Late today on the advice of the
prosecutor the motorman was paroled
in the sum of $1,000 bail.

Siegfried Kohn, "a years old, is today
confined at his home, and, according to
reports of the physicians, has a frac-
tured skull, having been run down by
an automobile last night while at
tempting to cross Broad street, directly
in front of an automobile driven by
Ross r. Mclean, of 1913 Wright street.
Kohn was unconscious when picked
up by several eye-witnesses and, after
a short time. was able to give his
address as 292 Springfield avenue.
When the ambulance arrived at this
address it vas found that he no longer
resided there and neighbors then gave
the name of a brother-in-law, Herman
Kussy, 50 Treacy avenue, to which ad-
dress he was taken. DIR. julius Levy
was called and said the man had A

AUTO
VICTIM, IS FOUND
DEAD IN STREET

Soho and a dozen different other places,
and were on their way to the Lincoln
garage, where the auto is housed.
The automobile in which the young
men were driving was the property of
the Public Service Corporation, where
DeVausney was employed. Yesterday
the car was sent by Martin White,
superintendent of the maintenance of
roads. to a William street garag to be
fixed. 1t was taken from the garage
at 4:10 o'clock by DeVausney. with the
instruction to take it to the Plank
road shops. This was not done and
was the last seen of DeVausney for
the afternoon. The police declare that
at his time DeVausney met his friend
McEvoy, and they decided to go for a
little ride.
An investigation in the saloons in
the neighborhood OF the accident has
disclosed the fact that the man was
in one of them spending money very
freely. 1t is aVerred that he threw
money on the bar and asked all hands
To drink with him. He gave those in
the places the impression that he was
a man of means n was having a pre-
holiday celebration. He left a saloon
at ? O'Clock and here all trace of him
was lost. In his pockets there was $25
when searched at the morgue.
An investigation by the police into
the conduct of McEvoy has led them to
believe that he was a young man of
steady habits. He is a chauffeur and
has worked for many prominent eiti-
zens, all of whom speak highly of him.
DeVausney before accepting the
position with the Public Service was
employed by the city driving the
Isolation Hospital automobile for a
period of over one year.
Acting Captain Caffery, with Plain
clothesmen King and Smith, today de-
clared that they are of the opinion
that the man met his death by striking
his head against the curb, and that
the automobile driven by the boys
passed over his legs or that the man
was struck by some other automobile
juet before the boys came along.
Captain Caffery. with his men,
learned that Huff had been in Chris
tian Lutz's saloon, in Halsey street,
and left there about 2 or 3 o'clock.
William Franks, with whom Huff
boarded, went with the officers to the
morgue and made the identification.
He declared that Huff had a wife in
New York, and she was Immediately
communicated with. Besides being ac-
lively working on his invention Huff
worked as an assistant salesman for
the firm of Stoutenburgh & Co. on
Saturday evenings.
