NOT MURDER BUT
HEART FAILURE,
CLAIMS BELLBOY
Geidel Will EndeavOr to C0ntr0.
vert Testimony Regard
ing Confession.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Most of the
important evidence for the prosecu-
ton was in when the trial Of Paul
Geidel for the murder of William H.
Jackson continued today. The dis
trict attorney expected to finish his
case in time to permit the defense to
open this afternoon.
Geidel has to c~ontrovert the sworn
statements of three witnesses, who say
he confessed the crime in all its de-
tails. Two of these witnesses were
policemen, and the other Geiders room
mate, Patrick McGrane.
The cross-examination of these and
other witnesses for the prosecution
yesterday indicated that the defense
would try to prove that Jackson and
Geidel were friends n that Jackson
died OF heart failure.

Editor The STAR. Newark, N. j.:
"Sir-The STAR outing to Rockaway

than one sense, such in name. The re-
freshing BOAT trip and appetizing
sandwiches and milk we're a treat in
themselves; we were kept busy on the
sand, between boats. with our pals
and shovels and our re-whetted hun
ger assuaged again on the way home
with more than we could eat ana
drink. If Newark's poor children have
been so well cared for all summer he
baby doctors will hav little to do this
winter. May your noble work receive
more support in the future. With the
thanks of the children and myself, I
am, Gratefully yours.

DIVORCE
LAWS FAVORED BY
|CE-CHANCELLOR
Edwin X. Walker, However, Is
Opposed to Federal Statu-
tory Regulation.

TRENTON, Aug. rs. Il Vice-Chan-
cellor Edwin Robert Walker, who is
an earnest advocate IF the uniform
divorce law, in discussing the matter
yesterday said
There is and has been for some
time past considerable public senti-
ment in favor of uniform divorce laws
throughout the United states, and /
believe in them and believe that they
will eventually be obtained.
Recently a commission composed of
delegates from various States consid-
cred this question. New Jersey was
represented by Vice-Chancellor Emery
and the result was the adoption by
this State OF a new divorce law which
~ a great Improvement over II for
mer one, and doubtless 1t Is in line
with the present sentiment on the sub
ject. This new law makes Ii impos-
sible for any one coming Into this
State from another TO obtain a divorce
here for a cause which arose in that
other State and which is not recog-
nized as cause for divorce In that
State. Public sentiment will, I think,
compel all the States eventually to
pass divorce laws of uniform char
acter.
Opposes Federal Divorce Law.
Il am opposed to any federal divorce
law. There is in my judgment en-
tirely too much agitation for taking
from the States their reserved rights
and bcstowing them npon the federal
government. A federal divorce law
would not accomplish all that it's adj
vocates claim-only a worldwide law
could do it. Any one divorced in the
United States could repair to Canada
or any Other foreign country and
might there accomplish what would
be forbidden in this country.
what Is most desired to be attained
could be accomplished, 1t seems to me,
by IN act of the Legislatures, MAX
ing provision that any person or per-
sons divorced in a foreign State or
country should be under the same
disabilities and restrictions In this
State as they are by the laws of the
State or country wherein their divorce
was procured. That would prevent the
remarriage in New Jersey of a person
divorced In New York and prevented
from remarrying by a decree of that
State.
THE passage OF acts of this charac-
ter in the various States would save
the time, trouble and contention nee
essarily invilved in %remodeling entire.
divorce acts, ~embodying, as they. do,
causes for divorce, the character of
pleading In the cases and the method
of procedure for the trial of the
causes"

Fish Tales

George Geisse, of Newark, visited
his old fishing chum, Billy Waiting
er, last week, and told him that he
had caught a striped bass at Gift
ford's, Staten Island, the day before
that weighed sixteen and a half
pounds. George is a guide during
the bass season at Corson's Inlet, and
is considered one of the best in the
business along the coast.
William Kern, of Newark. took
several friends down to Raritan bay
Tuesday. They finally found the
boundary beacon and caught seven
teen pounds of cells and five found
ers. The beacon 70 generally called
the Monument" and is a half-mile
east of Morgan's Station.
You can't learn to catch fish from
reading a book, but you a get some
points about the game that your best
friend wouldn't explain to you.
Establishing may not be an art, but
many people lose the fish because on
feeling the first nibble they give the
line a jerk, thinking to hook the fish.
Blacklist have two sets of teeth.
They pick up the bait with the front
teeth and roll 1t towards the back or
crusher teeth. If they feel the hook
they Immediately spit out the bait
and lever try that same bait again
If they don't feel the hook or the tug
of the line they swallow the bait and
then struggle to get away, this being
the time to hook them. Give him a
little time after the first nibble and
you will get more fish than the chap
who does the jerking.
