MUST KEEP PUSH.CARTS
MOVING, SAYS SHlpMAN,

General superintendent Of Works
Shipman announced today that the
push-carts blocking the streets in the
"HilI" section, in Prince street and
Broome street, will either be kept NOV
ing by the owners or be taken off the
streets. Inspector of Complaints Gott-
Heb Harle has been delegated to en-
force the law, and on Monday he, with
the assistance of policemen, and a
wagon, will invade the Hill section.
Mr.. Shipman will have a conference
with Captain Oscar Vogel, of the
Fourth precinct, to agree on a method
whereby the owners of the push-carts
will be made to observe the city or
dinance affecting push-carts.
Store-keepers have complained on the
ground that the push-cart owners,
without paying rent or more than a H.
cense fee, are given the right to d.
vert the business of the store-keer er.
Their claim is that the push-cart own
ers attract the customers first, being
on the outside, and thereby seriously
interfere with the business of those h a
are forced to pay a high rent for stores.

ALICE JUDGE
JONES CHANGED
COURT DECREE
Lawyer, in Argument, Says Or
ange Justice Substituted One
Name for Another.

Before Chief Justice Gummere today
a remarkably peculiar legal situation.
involving Judge Benjamin f. Jones, Of
Orange. vas revealed in an argument
on a motion made by Samuel ]. Mac
donald.
On January Is Judge Jones heard the
case of George Cadmus against Daniel
Fee and George Fischer in the Orange
District Court on replevin proceedings
about a buggy. After hearing the case
Judge Jones reserved his decision,
which was finally entered February 10.
The action was non-suited as against
Daniel Fee, but the Judge found
against the other defendant. Mr.. Mac
donald. who had represented both de-
PENDANTS, appealed in due form for
George Fischer.
Then, on March "a, Mr.. Macdonald
stated, Judge Jones entirely of his owif
yolition changed the existing Judgment
by having one defendants name sub
stituted for the, other. This completely
reversed the former Judgment as to the
two defendants. making Daniel Fee the
defendant against whom the decree
Tas operative.
Act without Authority, says Lawyer.
Mr.. Macdonald insisted that Judge
Jones acted entirely without juriedic-
ton in endes voring to change his own
decree, after an appeal had been taken
THE only. case similar to this that
I have been able to find" he said 70
the Chief Justice after his motion had
been granted, "is in the record OF an
old case in the Supreme Court back in
1929"
