JUST As He EXPECTED,
WAS COURTS DECISION
MAYOR RICHARDSON COMMENTS
ON SUPREME COURT OPINION
IN PRIMARY CASE.

Mayor Richardson was not sur
prtsed at the decision of the Virginia
Supreme Court ruling in the Norfolk
appeal case that the state .aw g9v-
-erning elections applies TO prim s.ies
as we'll as to general and special cleo
lions.
"ln fact" he observed Thursday.
Il don't see how. the court could have
reached any other decision"
Mayor Richardson said he was
especially interested In the matter
because II was he who conducted the
prosecution in the jackson Wise case
In which the legality of the same law
was tested In Richmond several years
ago. At that time the court handed
down an oraf opinion u1,hsiding the
law.
He also said that in view OF the
fact that the State Constitution rec
ognizes primaries as elections, there
has never been any doubt In his mind
as to the legality OF the statute in
question.

AFTER DRINKING
Had Served in the Central M.
E. Church for Twenty
three Years.

Suicide, after twenty-three years

Church, ended the life of George Il.

ton.
Mrs. Nugent told a STAR reporter
that her husbandwcame home Saturday
night under the influence OF liquor, and
this was confirmed at the hospital
when the physicians tried to remove
the arsenic from his system, The Rev.
William H.. Morgan, pastor of the Cen
trail NJ. E. Church, said Nugent was
not a habitual drinking man and could
give no reason for his act.

CHARGES MURPHY
vARN|SH CD. WITH
STEALING SECRET
Blanch Sues Former Governors
Concern for $4,000 for
Varnish Process.

The Murphy Varnish Company. of
which former Governor Franklin Muir
phy is the head, is defendant in a suit
Just brought in the Court of Chancery
by Joseph C. Blanch, of Weehawken,
who charges that the
through it's officers. has robbed him of
q secret process for making Narnlsh
and enamels. He asks that the Muir
ply company be mad to account to
him for the profits made, and that 1t
pay him $4,000.
The complainant further asks as an
alternative that if the court decides
that he is not entitled to this relief.
the Murphy company be directed spe-
officially to perform a contract by
turning over to the complainant his
share of the stock of the Blanchite
Paint Company. which the Murphy
company absorbed. 1t is through the
merger that the alleged conspiracy was
worked against Blanch, he claims, by
which the Murphy company obtained
possession of the valuable processes
of the B1anchite company. These pro-
cesses were the invention of Blanch, he
claims.
The Blanchite Company was Moor
porated in New York four years ago
with a capital stock of 800, 900. Ac-
cording to the bill filed, the company
did such a good business during 1907,
1908 I'M 1909 that the attention of the
Murphy Company was attracted to it.
Negotiations were then opened and as
h result the Murphy Company ac-
quired 81 per cent. of the stock of the
Blanchite Company, which gave the
former control of the other concern.
Ex-Governor Murphy was asked by
an Evening STAR reporter to state the
company's side of the case, and to tell
what defense, if any, would be made.
The matter is of little Importance
raid Mr.. Murphy; sit concerns one of
smallest companies, and 1 really 10
not know what the suit mounts to.
We have prepared no denfense, for we
had no reason to believe a suit was to
be brought against us"

TEACHERS REALIZE VALUE
OF THE STAR DICTIONARY
Pedagogues Are Spreading Among Their Pupils Vir-

The fact that prominent among those
who are daily telling The Star by let

cational campaign which is being
waged by this paper through the pres
entation of Webster's New Standard
Dictionary, illustrated, are many Of
the teachers and principals in Newark's
public and private schools should be
sufficient to convince you of the true
value of this offer.
And perhaps this is accountable for
the widespread popularity of the new
est and best dictionary since the open
ing of the school yea a couple Of
weeks ago. The dictionary was popu-
lar on the day after the first announce
ment of it's presentation, u became
wen more popular when those who
had first secured 1t told the tale of its
excellence to their friends and their
friends friends. Now 1t is riding or

no signs Of diminishing in volume.

thar they generally imagine, and the
published statements Of a number of
the prominent instructors in the New
ark schools that The Stars dictionary
is worth having in any home or office
has evidently borne its fruit. The home

becoming a rarity.
Why not clip out that coupon today,
you members OF the Slow-To-Make-
Up-Your-Min Family? You may be
too late if you wait much longer. When
you consider the fact that The Star
offers you the dictionary that you
would have to pay "a for at any book
store for one coupon and 9S cents
there should be no hesitation in your
mind. And il you don't a to pay
even that much you can get the regu-

a single coupon and 81 cents, or the "
dictionary for one coupon and As cents.
Why wait any longer to do what
you really will want to do after all?
