CITY WILL TRY
NEW MEASURES
ON TROLLEY co.
HARRY COOK is
ON TRIAL TODAY
New Brunswick Lawyer Is
Pleading His Own Case.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, May 10:-Harry
B. Cook, one of the best known law
yers in this city and candidate at
the primaries last November for AS
semblyman on the Democratic ticket,
was on trial here again this morning,
on the charge of securing money un-
der false pretenses, the previous jury
having disagreed on January 25, last.
Cook is conducting his own case, while
Assistant Prosecutor Russell E. Watson
appears for the state. On the last
occasion, Prosecutor Theodore B. Boor-
aem appeared.
Before the jury was sworn Cook
moved that the indictment be quashed
on the grounds there was an outsider
in the Grand Jury room when the bill
was found, said person being Clerk
Charles Tinden, who, Cook pointed out,
has not been appointed since April,
1906, and then for only one year
term. Cook claimed all indictments
found since the expiration of Clerk Tin
dell's term were null and void. Judge
Peter F. Daily oyerruled the motion.
Cook then again moved for the in
dictment to be squashed on the
grounds it had not been recorded on
the court books. Court Clerk Macan,
of Perth Amboy, was sworn and tes-
titled the indictment had been record
ed in a private book kept for that pur-
pose, public register being impos-
sible because it should thus give the
indicted persons chance to leave the
state.
Deputy Clerk Robert Helm was also
sworn and testified in a like manner.
Judge Daily again ruled against Cook.
These arguments took over an hour.
In opening, Assistant Prosecutor
Watson stated he would prove that
on December "a, 1909, Cook had Sc
cured $3.50 from Mrs. Walter Church,
of Paterson street, this city, after
representing that the sum was to be
placed ina mortgage on property own
ed by Cook, or his client. Neither
the state nor the defense have addi-
tional evidence than that exhibited
and made public during the previous
trial.
Following is the jury. Arthur E.
Berry. J. A. Harmed, George DUNCAN
and Leonard Campbell, Woodbridge;
Jacob Steinberg, Roosevelt; Howard D.
Littel, South Amboy; William K. Sne-
deker, Monroe Township; John F. Nc
Govern, John e. Clayton and G. +. Kel-
Iy,y-this- city, ~ilaard Fisher, sayro-

boy, was excused owing to illness. Ed
ward A. Quinn, of Roosevelt, Cornelius
P. Convery and Oliver w. Ramsay, of
Perth Amboy were excused for various
reasons .--.a-----.-

Respond--Find Man Asleep
HAS Lead Poisoning.
NOTIFIES LOCAL POLICE

On the report of Township Com
m1tteeman John s. Dooley, who lives
In Woodbridge, near the Spa Spring
road and the city line, Detective
Sergeants Huff and Long took the
city ambulance this morning and
made search through the wooded sec
tion in that vicinity and Amboy road
for a supposed dead man. The man
was found, but he was not dead,
merely sleeping. 1t had been a long
sleep, however, from yesterday after
noon until 8 O'Clock this morning,
when he was awakened by the police.
Has Lead Poisoning.
The man proved to be George
Rubert, of SAB Cortlandt street, an
employe of the American Smelling &
Refining Company, and upon exami-
nation 1t was found that he was suf-
fering with lead poisoning. DR.. w.
e. Ramsay ordered the man taken to
the hospital for further treatment.
According to the story told by the
man on being picked up by the Off
GERS, he had been put out of his
boarding house by the proprietor and
not knowing where else to go, and
being i'll, had gone into the woods to
lay down. He fell asleep and lay
dormant until aroused by the police.
The man Is receiving his salary Just
the same from the smelling works as
though he was working. DR.. Ramsay
took the address of his boarding
house and will take the matter up in
regard to his being put out, sup
posedly without funds.
Dooley Thought Him Dead.
The first word of the case was
brought to police headquarters this
morning by Dooley. He stated. that
in cutting across the wooded section
from Amboy road to his home last
night he saw a man apparently sleep
ing under tree about 200 feet from
the path he was walking on and 500
feet from the road. He thought
nothing of it at the time but return
Ing over the same route this morning
and seeing the man still there he was
convinced that he wasdead. Dooley
was asked to accompany the police
to the spot but shakily and emphatic
ally said mot me-"
The city ambulance was at once
called out and Detective Sergeants
HUFF and Long started for the scene,
being furnished with a diagram by
find the man. They followed his
directions and sure enough discover
ed the man where Dooley had mark
ed MN on the cnarr, fyIng speneatn
an apple tree. He was ON his back
with his coat thrown over his head.
One leg was crossed over the other
and his hands lay by his sides.
The CORPSE Sits Up.
To a person not experienced with
dead people-he looked as though life
had left him. Detective Sergeant
Huff, when about fifteen feet away,
exclaimed, however, Hes not dead"
and such proved to be the case.
When the coat was lifted from his
face the man sat up as though dazed
and on being cross examined gave an
account of himself. He was taken in
the ambulance to the Office of DR.. W.
e. Ramsay, having a check in his
pocket from the smelling works au-
thorizing the physician to give him
treatment. From the physicians s
Office he was taken to the hospital.

NINE IN THEATRE FIRE
Special by U:lited Press Wire.

Attisbury, Scotland, May 10:-A
performing lion, maddened by burns
and In fear of death, was directly re-
sponsible for the loss OF nine lives in
a fire that destroyed the Empire
Music Hall. The animals master,
Sigmund Neuberger, known the
world over as "The Great Lafayette" :"
and two of his assistants were among
the victims. They lost their lives
trying to control the terrified ami
mails that blocked the main exits
from the dressing rooms and which,
with many of the artists, were penned
in and unable to get out.
That hundreds In the audience
were not killed was due to the as
bestos curtains and the heroism of
the orchestra, which started playing
God Save the King" while the
flames crept from under the curtain,
scorehed their clothing and burned
the hair from their head. There was
q rush when the fire was discovered.
but order soon prevailed and the
audience passed out quickly. The
music hall was the finest In Scotland.

Some new breeds Of sheep and cattle
dogs have been developed In Australia,
and q government bulletin of New
South Wales tells Of them, in the order
OF merit, the sheep dogs and barbs and
kelpies, first; smooth haired collies,
second: mongrels and crosses, third:
rough collies, fourth. Barbs and kelpies
are both Of Scottish origin and the
gypsies are supposed to have produced
the kelpie for poaching purposes by
crossing foxes and smooth collies. Both
breeds are thought in Australia to have
experienced a second cross--with the
dingo, or wild dog. Crossing dogs with
the dingo eliminates the bark, which
make cattle nervous.

HUSBANDS ARDOR IN
CRUSHING RIBS NOT
| WELCOMED BY MADAM
Wife Seeks Divorce on the
Ground That Husband Is Too
Muscular in His Love.

Okaton. s. D., May 16.-Charging
cruelty in that she had to submit 10,
bear hugs" until her health has be-
come permanently injured, Mrs. Wini-l
| fred Ingalls, has sought divorce from
Nicholas ingalls,.
In her petition for divorce Mrs.
ingalls, explains the bear hugs" de-.
scribing them thusly:
Nicholas, before ne went to work.
In the morning and in the afternoon
and whenever he returned to the houses
would throw his arms about my waist,
crushing me at times until the breath
almost left my body. At one time last
winter, as he was leaving home to go
to Okaton, he forced me to submit to-
bear hug that resulted in the
fracturing of two ribs, while at another
time the hugging was so severe that
circulation was stopped and my nose
bled a stream, the blood squirting over
his clothing"
Not only does Mrs. ingalls, object to
the bear hugs and the crushing of
bones, but as an additional act Of
cruelty she declares that IT was
smothered with kisses, all of which,
we're Objectionable and offensive, owing
20 their great number and their FREE
quency."
Answering the petition, ingalls, ad-,
nits the hugging and kissing, but adds
hat the treatment accorded his wife;
was of the most tender and affection,
ate character aSd that the breaking off
ibis and the gushing of blood from her,
.lpstrfls was due to tight lacing, al
habit to which his wife had been adj,
dicted during the whole OF the FIVE
years of their married life.
