NEW YORK, Feb. 24-The stock
market today reflected it's opinion of
the interstate commerce decision
against increased freight rates by
heavy sales of stock at sharply de-
clining prices from 2 to points from
the close of last night Selling began
early in the London market, where
heavy declines were recorded, presag-
ing a weak opening on the local ex-
change.
The security values of some of the
Western railroad stocks showed aver
age losses of A points from yester-
day. Southern Pacific was off Az at
the opening, Northern Pacific slumped

advantage of the situation and forced

Perhaps there never was another
prisoner" just like the one that ap-
peared before Judge Simon Hahn, In
the First Precinct Police Court, this
morning-one so scornfully calm; one
who smiled as sarcastically and re-
mained as silent-as Siegfried Lesch-
liner "the next mayor of Newark"
who will positively take his seat Janu-
ary l, 1913" Not even when the fine of
$50 was imposed. thewlimit of the law,
did he vince Even then he was calm
and collected and playfully fingered his
solid gold watch-fob
Contrary to the expectations of the
spectators, Mr. Leschziner appeared In
court this morning with only one coun-
sci, not eight as he promised. Said
counsel was and still is, Spaulding
Frazer, of the firm of Riker & Rlker.
Mr.. Leschziner, real estate operator
and investor" was charged with doing
the Washingtonian act of cutting down
a tree-not cherry, but a beautiful 20
maple. BY doing this he violated a
city ordinance, inasmuch as he had
not the permission of the Shade Tree
Commission to cut down the tree
aforesaid. AS a matter of fact, though
he did not cut the tree down, he las
soed 1t first and with the aid of two
score and ten excavators, employed by
him to dig the foundation for Symphony
Auditorium, Broad and Hill streets,
and the added strength of thirty husky
bricklayers-all union men-he pulled
the tree from its roots This happened
yesterday His arrest occurred yester-
day, too.
1t all came about this way: Carl
Bannwart, secretary of the Shade Tree
Commission, refused to give the next
mayor sof Newark permission to re-
move his trees-four in number-unless
he received deposit of $40 to insure
the resetting of the trees removed.
wouldn't Pay Deposit.
Mr. Leschziner declined to give the
deposit, and said the trees would come
down in spite of secretaries, shade
tree commissions or mayors.
True to his word, he, plus fifty Ital :
ian eXcavators and thirty American
bricklayers, pulled down the ancient
landmark and placed himself into the
arms of the law.
This was at 5:45 o'clock last night.
He was slated by Sergeant Mcclellan
and paroed to appear' in court this
morning.
Promptly at $50 today the operator
and investor was in court. But-in-
stead of finding Judge Hahn waiting
for him, he had to wait for Judge
Hahn, and 1t was not until 1898 o'clock
that Mr.. Leschziners case was called.
With the prisoner" was his counsel,
Mr., Frazer, and his architect, Eugene
A. McMurray.
The ''prison\r." through his counsel
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
violating an ordinance. And, strange
to say, not once during the proceedings

The second day of the hearing of the
$4,000 damage suit for the alienation
of her husband. Ernest L. Simss atfec-
ton brought by Mrs. Myra c. Sims
against Winfield s. Sims, Mrs, Joes-
phine Sims and Mrs. Grace Northrop,
again drew crowd that filled Judge
Adans's Court room TO the doors
Attired in the same brown coat and
skirt and big picture hat of green, Mrs.
Sims took the stand at the opening OF
court.
Objection was made to the first ques-
ton asked relative to what Ernest Sims
had told her about his parents paying
bills for him.
For an hour Judge Adams and the
lawyers pored over law books and cited
authorities. while Mrs. Sims sat in the
witness chair and looked distinctly
bored as she lazily waved hugh palm
leaf fan
She never once glanced in the direc-
ton of her fatherin-law, mother-in-
law or sister-in- law. who occupied
front seats. Ernest Sims, the husband,
entered the court room shortly after his
wife left the witness stand. He took a
seat in the rear of the room and did not
go near his parents or his wife.
Question Is Finally Allowed.
After Judge Adams had ruled on the
objection made by the defendants, al
lowing the questions to be asked, Court
landt Parker proceeded with the ex-
animation of Mrs Sims.
Did Ernest ever tell you about ac-
tions of the defendants with regard to
influences which they used or endeav-
ored to use upon him?'
Yes answered Mrs. Sims.
when was the first time?" asked
Mr.. Parker
Shortly after we were married." was
the reply
Attorney Beecher, for the Elder Sims
inily, objected to all these questions.
Dat was overruled by Judge Adams,
who told Mr.. Beecher that he could
take general exception 70 the entire
line of testimony.
Then Mrs Sims related at length
what she considered were efforts made
to ALLEVIATE her husband from her.
"ToId Him WAS Ertravasant."
."They kept continually telling Ernest
that 1 was extravagant and were al
ways asking him what bills we owed
and what l was buying.
His father kept nagging Ernest all
the time to leave me-"
"Nagging?" asked Mr. Parker
What do you mean by that?'

hesitated for a moment, why, they
kept bothering him all the time. Ernest
used to come to me and tell me he

Mrs. Sims then related that Mrs.

band, had bought him clothes. a suit

CONTEST OVER
THE NAMING OF
GRAY EXECUTOR
Niece of Late Judge Objects to
Appointment of William
Gray.

Lack of harmony among the heirs of
the late Judge George R. Gray, of the
Court of Errors and Appeals was aired
today In the Orphans Court before
Judge Ten Eyck, when Attorney Pierce,
on behalf of the niece of the late Jurist,
and Judge Lambert, representing a
brother and sister, presented their re-
spective sides of the case
Judge Gray died November 4 last
His niece, Mrs. Florence Bono, of East
Orange, representing three nieces,
sought to have the Fidelity Trust made
the executor of the estate. William
Gray, brother, sought that position
himself. Mrs. Bond, Miss Mabel Gray
and Miss Elizabeth Gray contended that
their uncle had not sufficient business
training to warrant him assuming du-
ties so important. The argument to-
day hinged on this question of an ex-
ecutor of the estate. The case was
continued.

is MOST IMPORTANT
DECISION EVER GIVEN
BY THE COMMISSION.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-T0


cision of the commission is
ing beyond all anticipation, te,,.4
by this shippers. 1t declined l.,
allows q single increase by the 600 oI
more railroads in the East and the
Middle West. 1t throws aside as un-
substantial the contention of the rail-
roads that they. must have increased
revenues to meet the increased cost OF
equipment and operation and by its
decision cuts off between $50 200, 600 and
$4,000, 600 year in revenue which the
railroads had expected to realize from
the proposed increases. On the other
hand, it means an annual saving OF
that amount to the shippers Of the
country.
The commission orders the carriers
to cancel the proposed increases oy
March 10 and notifies them that In the
event of failure an order will be en-
tered continuing the present rates for
two years, thus preventing the carriers
from making any change In that
period. The railroads may now appeal
to the newly created Commerce Court,
and ii is the opinion of many of their
lawyers that this step will be taken.
1t is possible that the railroads may
seek an injunction from the Commerce
Court restraining the commission from
enforcing its order against the in
creases pending an appeal of the case.
The decisions are the most important
and far-reaching ever har ded down by
the commission. Through the decisions
the commission goes unanimously upon
record as opposed to the general ten
dency throughout the United States to
raise freight rates.
In a separate decision the commits
sion allows carriers operating from St.
Louis into Texas, which is known as
the Southwestern territory, to retain
their present rates made two and a
half years ago.
Business increasing.
In substance, the commission holds
that the carriers are prosperous under
present rates, are making reasonable
returns upon capital; that their busi-
ness is increasing, and that the in
creased revenue has more than. over

the carriers in the last year, as well
as the increased operating expenses.

OFFICIALS ARE
PUZZLED OVER
EXPLOSION CASE
Are at Loss How to Proceed
in Silver Lake
Fatality.

County and local authorities seemed
at loss how to proceed in an investiga-
ton to determine responsibility for the
explosion in the Silver Lake fireworks
factory, which cost the lives of two
men and girl yesterday.
Belleville officials declare that no city
law was broken. as those who had fore
seen the menace of combustibles stored
in Silver Lake had never been able to
overcome the powerful opposition to
have an ordinance regulating the dam
gerous business passed.
After a conference with Judge Ten
Eyok today, Prosecutor Mott said he
would do what he could to find out
what sort of explosives were stored In
the shack where the three unfortunates
mot their death. He said he would
superintendent of combustibles, in an
effort to determine the nature of the
action which may be taken. If any
prosecution is undertaken 1t must be
under State law, as Belleville had
never prohibited the storage Of the ex-
plosivs.
This, too, In the face OF the fact that
seven persons have lost their lives
through explosions OF combustibles used
in the manufacture of combustibles In
the Silver Lake section In the past
three years. Two arrests were made.
but no prosecutions followed. One Of
the men who was arrested as the re-
suit of a previous explosion was killed

day.

EXPECT LA MONTE
TO LAND DUNCAN
AS CIRCUIT JUDGE
Judge Heisley Is to Be Displaced,
According to Current
Rum0rS.

Governor Wilson will soon have two
important judicial appointments Il
make. Supreme Court Justice Alfred
Reeds term is about to expire. and so
also is the term of Circuit Judge VIII
bur A. Heisley
Mr.. Justice Reeds very fitness for
the position will compel his reappoint-
ment. He is a jurist of great learning
and ability He has rendered distin-
guished service both on the law and
equity side. Therefore, as politics does
not enter into this appointment, he will
doubtless be asked to remain OH the
Supreme Court bench.
Circuit Judge Wilbur A. Heisley Is
nearing the end Of his judicial term.
When appointed, seven~years ago, he
was known better as politician than
as jurist. He had been prosecutor
of the pleas and county Judge in Mon
mouth county, but his fame, except
politically, had not gone abroad.
Jurist of Ability.
Judge Heisley is now generally re-
garded as jurist of exceptional
ability. His duties have confined him
largely to this circuit, and in conse-
quence the people here are taking quite
an interest in the choice of his suc-
cessor. He is popular with the mem-
bers of the bar and they would like
to see him reappointed, but 1t Is said
that another has been slated for this
position.
Circuit judgeships have always been
regarded as the "spoils of office" Men
of ability have been compelled to step
down and persons Of lesser ability
have been permitted to STEP up.
This practise has not tended to i'm
prove the tone or standard of this
branch of the Judiciary, but it has been
helpful from the standpoint of patron
age.
1t is now, so the rumor runs, TO be
further exemplified Judge Heisley is
to retire and General Nelson Y. Dun
gan, of Somerset, is to succeed him.
Assemblyman George M. La Monte, jr.,
is authority for this statement.
Change Seems Assured.
General DUNCAN Is an able lawyer
and would in time develop into jurist
of Judge Heisley's ability. On his mer-
Its alone he would stand some chance
for the appointment, but with Assem-
blyman La Monte insisting, his eleva-
ton to the bench seems assured.
MIR. La Monte's activity, il is said, is
of recent growth. At one time, it is
said he was regarded coldly by Gov
ernor Wilson. Whether this coldness
had anything to do with Mr.. La Monte's
statement, made often and publicly
that he would never vote for the Gov
ernor's senatorial choice cannot be
stated with definiteness. But 1t is a
curious coincidence that the Governors
favor and La Montes determination to
support the Governors choice bear
about even date.
Governor Wilson would of course.
make no bargain with Assemblyman
La Monte 1t is not likely that the
Somerset assemblyman would admit it
If he believed that he had an under
standing with the Governor.
1t is a fact. however, that La Monte is
claiming that Judge Heisley is to step
down and General DUNCAN to go up,
and that the people of Somerset county
are impatiently awaiting the exalta-
ton of one of their citizens, and the
fulflment Of their assemblymans
