ner race track bribery ease and de
MED that he had been present at any

The city chamberlain was a much
sought witness during the legislative
investigating committees sessions here
to throw light on the efforts to defeat
racing legislation. 1t was reported that
Mr.. Hyde was one among the number
OF men who were present at a dinner
at D~elmonico's and raised $500, 900 to be
used in Albany against the racing mea-
sures. Mr.. Hyde returned from Flor

health, shortly after the legislative in"
quiry was concluded.
Mrs. Hall Disputes Husband.
In opening for the defense Gardeners
attorney called the jury's attention to
yesterdays testimony by George w.
Hall, the bond salesman. Attorney
Steuer said hat in this connection he
would call Halls wife, who had been
brought here from Scranton, Pa, where
she is now living.
Mrs. Hall declared that h had never
heard any conversation between Card
ner and her husband regarding the dis
tribution of the bribery fund such as
Hall yesterday testified occurred in her
presence. She had never heard the
name of Foelker mentioned by them,
and had heard no talk about the racing
bills while Gardner was at the Halls
home in Wilkesbarre last fall.
Mrs. Hall testified hat she and her
husband lac received several BLACK
Hand letters, and hat one night her
husband come home and complained
that he had been attacked. She testi-
fed that she had quarreled with her
husband, and since the night of the
alleged attack she had not seen him.

Delmonico's at which was subscribed a
fund to kill the racing bills?"

THOUSANDS At THE
AUTOMOBILE SHOW
ON CLUB NIGHT
Society Out in Force to View
MilliOn-D Dollar Display at
ArmOry.
MANY AUTOS SOLD,
LOCAL DEALERS REPORT
Prominent Newarkers Arrange
for Early Spring Deliveries
of New Cars.

Last night was designated by the
show now being held at the First
Regiment Armory as club night and
it was ~well-named, for the motorists
and their friends from all over the
State attended the exhibition en- masse
and crowded the big armory 70 the
doors. 1t was q discriminating and
knowing assemblage. Practically every
make of car that is being shown had
its supporters and enthusiastic admir-
ers among the vast throng.
Sales Reported Brisk.
The club men were there to pick and
choose, and, what was more lmpor-
tant from the dealers standpoint, they
were there to order early spring deliV-
cries of their favorite makes and
models. More sales were reported than
at any time since the SHOW started and
there were few statesmen who did not
go home happy with at least n or
two contracts for 1911 cars tucked away
In their inside pocket.
Manager Fisher, of the Cadillac Com
pany, carried off the honors of the eve
ming, closing three actual sales n
securing many additional good pros
poets. The Regal contingent also Jared
well, reporting the sale of three of this
popular make. The Haynes and the
Hupmobile agents each disposed of
two cars, while the Overland, Chat
mers, Lion, Mitchell, Mercer, Franklin
and Moon each closed a contract for
ip~omadiato delivery of a car. ,
Manager Fitz Gerald reported the
sale of a large Packard touring car,
while the Cole s~peedster that had at
tracted so much attention was sold
before the evening had fairly begun.
The De Temble people closed with a
sub-agent for ten cars and the Hudson
County Consumers Brewery was the
purchaser of a big Mack truck. All of
the other dealers made sales or ar
ranged with prospective customers for
early demonstrations, and altogether it
was a great night for everybody.
Attendance Nearly $1,000.
1t was estimated hat he attendance
was approximately 5000, he majority
of whom were members of automobile
clubs from various parts of the State.

But by far the largest representa-

usual Cases.

Ihree hundred physicians of North
ern New Jersey have united in a
splendid clinic that is intended to prove
to Newark and New Jersey at large
what h famous Rockefeller founda-
tion is to New York and the country
at large.
The Northern Jersey Medical Aca-
DENY, which is TO be the name of the
association, will differ from the Rookie
teller organization in the sense that IL
is founded by the doctors themselves
and at their own expense. In its Of
fees, already secured on the eleventh
floor of the Essex building, Gin
ton n Beaver streets, it will
hold daily meetings of It's diff
terent sections" al which rare cases
of disease from the hospitals and from
its members private practise will be
reviewed and treated and where
extraordinary operations will be per-
formed. where the disease is of a re-
markable character.
To Complete Organization.
Ten separate associations of medical
men have already announced their al
legiance to the academy, and on Satur-
day night next the representatives of
all these will meet in the Public Lii
brary building and perfect the organ
lzation. Essex, Hudson. Morris, Ber-
gen n Passaic are sending delega-
lions of their leading doctors to the
meeting. The academy, which will
rank high among those In this country
or abroad, is assured already of q men,
bershlp that will tax the capacity of
its auditorium and of aid from famous
outside physicians hat will put upon
Its deliberations a stamp of notable
significance in the medical world.
The academy had it's inception more
than a year ago In the head of DR..
Julius Levy, of the Medical League,
who deplored the fact that while ten
separate clubs or associations of medi-
cal men existed in Newark, all of them
were precluded by their laws from
intermtngling or exchanging the views
on particular cases which might be the
means of saving many lives each year.
Medical Organizations Cooperate.
The Physicians League and the Medi-
cal Club took up the suggestion quick
ly. 1t was realized hat Newark and
its neighbors had as good a right to
a general consultation of physicians as
any other city in the country-and the
result of that get-together proposition
is that the seven large offices in the
Essex building have been taken by a
composed of Doctors Ed
ward and Charles Ill, Samuel f. Rob-
August A. Straser. J. H. Lowery
and DR.. Levy.
Seven large Office suites will compose
the academy's home, and there at
and monthly meetings of the
entire membership, these special topics
will be discussed by the members and
by specialists who have already Of
fered their wisdom to their brethren
without cost.

Mrs. Smith, 70 years old. who found

Smith, who was a retired fish mer-

physicians told him he would be blind

she would kill herself at the first OPP

Despite Governors Threats and Activities 1t Has

TRENTON, Feb. 81.

MI E.
STTHE action of the House committee o n elections today in reporting favor
ably on the two Nichols direct primary bills forecasts the doom of the
Wison-Record scheme.
The Nichols measures, which the Senate has passed, are primary reform
measures, but differ widely from the Geran bill.
George L. Record arrived here today in the interest of his pet measure,
and as amazed to seet the bright prospects ahead for the Nichols bills. He
and the Governor are beginning to realize that the administration bill is dying

said, he may call upon the Governor.
The Geran bill is chiefly the work of Mr. Record. 1t has received the
sanction of the Governor, and its passage vas confidently predicted. Mr..
Record is o the ground 20 give what aid he can. IS
The Governor is now silent concerning the ultimate fate Of the bill A
week ago he dealt with the matter in a cheerful vein. Its passage to him
seemed assured. He described 1t as ne of the most important duties before
the Legislature. Its enactment, he said, would extend the principle of popular
government, and opposition to its passage could ONT only from selfish or
other vicious motives.
Measure Now Ridculed.
Since the Governors statement, which has been characterized both as re-
markable and unwise, opposition to the measure has steadily developed. II
has been ridicuhd and rallied at 1t has been specifically iddled and generally
condemned.
Objections to its passage have come from many prominent newspapers,
from the foragnborn citizen, who is afronted; from labor, which is dscrim-
mated against and from expert and technical sources which show its pro-
visions TO be impossible of fu1himent

A~ssemblyman Leveen's Measure
for Widening and Extending
Street Passes House.
TO RELIEVE BROAD AND

lFrom a STAFF correspondent

TRENTON, Feb. 21.-The LeVeen bill
authorizing the expenditure of one mil
lion dollars for the widening and ex-
tension of Mechanic street, Newark,
passed the Assembly today with only
one vote in the negative, hat of AS
semblyman Walsh, OF Mercer. 1t looked
for a time as If objections raised by
Assemblyman Boettner might delay
action on the bill, but the Essex man
finally fell In line and voted for it.
When Assemblyman Leveen called
the bill up Assemblyman Mylod wanted
to know if the MCGOWAN subway bill
would not relieve the congestion at
tent that the expenditure of one million
would not be necessary.
They were, in a sense, companion
measures, and Mr.. Leveen explained
that 1t was the intention to extend Me-
chanic street so that it would n
with Springfield avenue, then much
traffic would be diverted over the new
t~horoughfare that would otherwise go
by way of Market street.
slight Opposition.
Assemblyman Boettner c~ontended
that one million dollar was not enough
to carry out the proposed Improvement,
and that 1t was unwise al the present
time to provide for an insufficient APP
preparation and then have to come back
to the Legislature later to ask for au-
thority to spend more.
Assemblyman White, of Camden, said
that 1t was apparently up to the Essex
delegation to arrive at an agreement
among themselves before they could
ask the House to vote intelligently on
the proposal. Mr., Mylod interviewed to
say that his question was merely put
for information. He favored the bill.
After some discussion as to the cost
of the plan between MCGOWAN and
Boettner, Assemblyman Bracken. who
is a civil engineer, called attention to
the fact that the engineering depart
ment of the city of Newark, which he
described as SECOND to none. had APP
proved the plan, and that ought to be
sufficient for the guidance of the House.
Assemblyman Macksey said that the
people of Newark were willing TO spend
more than a million IL necessary TO re-
lieve the congestion. He urged the pas
sage of the bill. Mr.. Boettner on the
roll-call voted AYE"

Respect for the courts and CON

is no less necessary that such respect

Let them turn upon the judgments Of
