VEIL OF MYSTERY
IS THROWN OVER
SUICIDE IN PARK
Edward Graham Dies in City
Hospital-0fficials Aid FAM
lily in Secrecy.

Aided ably By Chief of Police Thomas
A. Gilhooley and Secretary Alonzo
Church. of the Essex County Park
Commission. the family of Edward
Graham, of 90 Arch street. succeeded
today In throwing deep veil of mys-
terry over the suicide of the man who
was found in Branch Brook Park late
yesterday afternoon In a dying condi-
ton from dose of paris green which
he had swallowed and then climbed into
q clump of trees in the northern di-
vision of the park near the Morris
canal towpath.
Park Policeman Murray heard the
man groaning in agony and saw at
once he was in a bad condition. He
called an ambulance from the City Hos
pital and had Graham rushed to that
institution, where he died at 2.30 this
morning.
Dies Before Wife Arrives.
At midnight last night the family,
consisting of the wife and a married
daughter, received word from the hos
pital that Graham was dying, but be-
fore the wife could get there Granam
was dead.
At the home this morning all in
formation was refused, the family alb
soutely refusing to talk to newspaper
men. While a reporter for the Eve
ming STAR was trying to elicit some
facts from the family, Chief Gilhooley,
of the park police, rode up on motor
cycle. He at first was denied admit
tance to the house, but on telling that
he was police officer was admitted.
He remained in the house for about
fifteen minutes, and when he came out
jumped on his motorcycle and rode
away, refusing to give any information.
THE family requested me to say
nothing" was the only answer Gilhoo-
ley would give to repeated questions.
Secretary Church, of the Park Commits
sion, was likewise uncommunlcative,
stating that Gilhooley had informed
him that there was nothing criminal in
the case and that the family did not
want any information given out.

Ne WARK' LOAN
LICE NSE TAX IS
DECLARED VOID
Especial to the Newark star.l


TRENTON, June 24-An ordinance
of the city OF Newark making an an
nual charge of $500 upon each person
engaged if> making loans on personal
property, chattel mortgages or assign
ments of wages is set aside in an
opinion just filed in the Supreme Court
in a test suit instituted by Frederick
NJ. Boles The ordinance is declared
void upon the ground that the act of
1910, under which ii was passed. is
revenue raising statute whose object
is not expressed in its title, and the
act is therefore held to be unconsti-
tutional.
BecIxer Wins from Express Co.
The Supreme Co rt has affirmed a
judgment against the Adams Express
Company recovered in the Second Dis
trjct Court of Newark by Nathan
Becker. The suit was based upon the
failure of the company to deliver ooN
shipped by Becker. The testimony as
to delivery was conflicting. The Supreme
Court holds that motion to non-suit
was properly denied, adding that the
consignor had a qualified right of prop
erty that entitled him TO sue for its
loss. The court also sustained the judg-
ment obtained in the Second Dlstrlct
Court of Jersey City by Samuel 5.
Cirossman against Jacob Gold. In this
case the Supreme Court holds that no
proper grounds for reversal were speei-
fed.
on the contention that the amend
nent of 1910 to the town act requiring
that the power to condemn lands for
street purposes must be exercised by
ordinance instead of by resolution, the
supreme Court. in an opinion just fled,
sets aside the proceedings by which
Nontclair sought TO open new street.
The proceedings were attacked by ALI
Eana C. Hening.

Declares New Organization Has
Not Studied Present Re-
IigiOus Situation.
SAYS N0N=CHURCH=GOERS
ARE NOT ALL 2EPROBATES
promoters of These Crusades
Have All HypnOtized Them
Selves" He States.

The Rev. DR.. Edmund A Wasson,
rector of st. Stephens Episcopal
Church, Clinton and Elizabeth avenues,
expresses views regarding the men and
religion forward movement, which is
spreading across the State, under the
auspices of various Protestant denomi-
nations. He declares that the appeal
has nothing new in it, and that it is
the same appeal that has been made
all along by Puritan preachers and
evangelists.
This men and religion forward move
ment has made no study whatever of
the religious situation" declared Dr.
Wasson, ito discover why two-thirds
of the men and young men are outside
of the church. They do not consider
whether the fault may be, in part, the
church's; whether the church itself is
preaching truth or error, and whether
a change In fundamentals may not be
required in the church.
Church Too Tardy.
"It assumes that the church is all
right except, perhaps that 1t is tardy
with its forward movement, and that
the outsiders are outside because of
the hardness of their hearts and un
belief and it proposes to overcome
these by appeal that shall pierce
through to the better nature within.
But this view and the procedure
are not new. They are simply our old
friend, the revival, under a new name
None of these movements seem to have
staying power. They are inaugurated
with enthusiasm, and they are prose-
cuted with zeal for a time, and then
they quickly die out and are forgot
ten of their own creators and sponsors
These revivals have swept over the
country, or over sections of 1t, at in
tervals for $50 years, and yet the
projectors of this new movement find
It necessary, because, as they aver,
two men out of every three do not go
to church.
"The Catholic Church attracts its
men as no Protestant Church does
hence. if the general average of non
attendance holds, It is the Protestants
who contribute the larger percentage
of neglect The Episcopal Church has
wisely kept aloof from these revivals
1t recognizes that they have nothing
but unreasoning enthusiasmJ behind
them
Crusaders SeIf-Hypnotized.
"The promoters of these crusades
hypnotize themselves into believing
that because they rush from one meet
ing to another and go to bed late and
tired, that they have accomplished
much for Christ and the church. Some
people think that because they are
busy they are useful.
Perhaps the general problem that
confronts the church is insoluble. Per-
haps time viii solve 1t. The two thirds
of men and boys are not outside the
church because they are reprobates,
and perhaps they will average up NOR
ally with the one-third that is inside.
Formally, the church today is iden-
tical with society, and its very bigness
its its weakness. Why cannot we ex
tract the essence of it and put 1t in
modern. language. which shall sound
fresh and direct and have not the echo
Of an antique philosophy of life?"

mother declared that although Mr..
Todd sent Bartlett home with his paper
for being too late, he accepted another

COURT DECLARES
HARTMAN ROADS

Judge Hook, Dissenting, Calls
Union of S. P. and U. P.
a Monopoly.
6 OTHER GREAT RAILROADS
INVOLV IN THE CASE
E. H. Hartman and II. II.
Rogers, Now Dead, Were
Chief Defendants.

ST. LOUIS, June 24.-The merger Of
the Southern Pacific and Union Pa
cihc railroads is legal, according to an
opinion handed down today by the
United States Circuit Court of the
Eighth district.
Judge Hook filed a dissenting opinion,
in which he expressed the belief that
the governments petition was well
founded and should have been granted.
The government will appeal the de-
cislon to the Supreme Court of the
United States, according to officials of
the department of justice.
In the absence of Attorney General
Wickersham, no official statement can
be obtained, but there Is no doubt that
the case will be carried to the highest
court
The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the Standard
Oil case was cited. among others, by
Judge Elmer b. Adams, who wrote the
majority opinion. Supreme Court JUS
tice Willis Van Devanter, while a cir
cult judge OF the Eighth district, par
ticipated in the hearing, deliberation
and conclusion in the case and con-
CURED in the opinion.
The majority decision was written
by Judge Elmer b. Adams and was
mailed to the clerk of the court here.
while the Union Pacific was entire
ly dependent upon the Southern Pacific
for its connection westward the South
ern Pacific was not at all dependent
upon the Union Pacific for its connec-
ton eastward, the opinion says. and
then adds:
Were Not Competing Lines.
"Our conclusion is that all the facts
of this case, considered in their natur-
al, reasonable and practical aspect,
and given their appropriate relative
slgnihcation, do not make the Union
Pacific a substantial competitor for
transcontinental business with the
Southern Pacific in or prior to the year
1901"
The governments suit in equity
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, to enjoin the continued con-
troll of the former by the latter, was
filed In Salt Lake City. Utah. FEBRUARY
2. 1908.
The bill charged conspiracy and the
formation of a combination in viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust act,
passed by Congress to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful mo-
nopolies
