NEWARK THEATRES NOT
AFFECTED BY DECISION.
May Not Open Houses, Though
Court Allows.

IF the Newark theatres care to open
on Sunday" Frank NJ. McDermit said
to a STAR reporter today, they have
a good opportunity now. No that the
law against Sunday shows is not still
on the books. The law holds still. But
Mr.. Lehlbach put it up to the jury yes
terday-it was a test case of popular
opinion. l think that in view of this
decision the probability of any Sunday
performances being stopped will be
slight. And the chance of any convic-
ton occurring is scarcely. worth 'eonsid-
ering."
Mr.. McDermit was referring to the
decision rendered by a jury in Part l,
Quarter Sessions Court, yesterday. that
George A. McDermit was not guilty of
maintaining a disorderly house at
the American Music Hall on the after
noon of Sunday, March 6, 1910.
You see, Mr.. Lehlbach put it up to
the jury Mr.. McDermitt went on. TT
was purely a case to find out the gen.
eral sentiment in regard to the law.
And, therefore, while it doesn't affect
the law itself, it has an important
bearing on the probable actions of the
sheriff and the theatres"
Mr.. McDermit explained that neither
he nor his brother were. interested in
Newark playhouses at this time.
Lee Ottenlengui, the manager of
Waldmann's, stated that the decision
would not affect the policy of his play
house, since it never opened on Sun
day and would not now start to do SO.
George W. Robbins. manager of the
Newark Theatre, said: 81 can't see
that the decision viii affect us at all.
We have not been in the habit of
opening Sunday, and therefore in our
case the attitude of the court on the
Sunday law is of no immediate impor-
lance"
Mr.. Stewart. manager of Procter's
Theatre. told a STAR reporter that
he had not yet read the account of the
trial and that he would consequently
prefer to reserve his statement unit
he had familiarized himself with the
details.

WOMAN IS SORRY
SHE TRIED TO END
LIFE IN PASSAIC
Was Disguised BefOre-NOw
Worries About What Pe0-
pie Are Saying.

Mrs. Mary Burns, who wanted to end
her life the worst way yesterday, and
Jumped into the Passaic river from the
Clay street bridge, had so nearly re-
covered from the effects Of her ex-
perience at the City Hospital that it
was thought she might be given up
to the East Newark police today.
Investigation proved that the address
Mrs. Burns gave in East Newark was
a fictitious one. When asked today
why she had attempted to die the
woman said:
At was disguised with life. There was
nothing left in it for me-, and I thought
1 would end everything by jumping into
the river. I'm sorry I did it now
though. What are people saying about
me today?"
Had Carefully PLANNED Death.
It was pparen yesterday that Mrs
Burns had planned her death with the
yreatest care, and also possibly with a
view of making as large a splash as
possible. as 1t was at the hour when the
bridge was crowded late yesterday
afternoon that she appeared upon IT.
Before anyone realized what she was
about to do she had climbed to the IRON
railing of the bridge and jumped into
the murky depths below. The height OF
her fall enabled her to acquire enoeGh
momentum to break the surface OF the
turgid river.
Everything had to be lone at once
as Caesar so succintly remarked. alter
the woman jumped. James Mckenna
and Joseph A. Raimo, bridge attend
ants, ran to the side of the bridge
where the woman had been last seen,
but John w. Kay and Thomas Conroy,
the former of Al Highland avenue.
Kearny, and the latter, of 428 Second
street, East Newark, We're ahead OF
them.
The two men had jumped n the
water where a great circle OF ripples
told them the woman had gone down,
and were already swimming about in
an effort to find her. Finally a hand
was thrust above the surface of the
water and the two men made for it.
When they had drawn the woman
ashore, to the East Newark side, Kay
was almost exhausted and had to be
pulled from the water by McKenna
and Raimo. The four men at once
gave the woman what medical atten
ton they could until the arrival of a
City Hospital ambulance. Carl Schroe-
der, the bridge engineer, had tele-
phoned for the ambulance and the
woman was at once taken to the hos
pital.

FOR EIGHT LONG YEARS
MOTHER FIGHTS FOR BOY.
Mrs. White Anxiously Awaits
Decision of Vice=Chancellor.

For eight long years l have fought
and struggled to make a home for my
boy who was taken from me" declared
Mrs. Margaret White today, but I
have been unable to get him from the
people who adopted him While 1 lay i'll
in the hospital Mrs. White began
her suit for the possession of her g.
year-old child before Vice-Chaneellor
Howell yesterday, and the latter re-
served his decision.
Mrs. White declared she was married
to George Howard when but IA years
old. and marital troubles made her life
unhappy until her son, Clarence How
ard, was born in 1902. The couple sep
arated, Mrs. White taking the boy with
her, but was forced later to turn the
boy over to his father, as it was neces-
sary for her to undergo an operation.
While in the City Hospital her hus-
band consented to the adoption of
Clarence by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry G..
Fredericks, of Summit. When the
mother left the hospital she inn
mediately started a'suit to regain pos
session of the child. Nice-Chancellor
Stevens heard the case at that time
and declared he would turn the child
over to his mother if she submitted
evidence of being able to give him a
permanent heme.
Since that time the woman has
worked and saved to establish a home
for her boy. George Howard died three
years ago and later the widow was
married IN Louis White. The couple
have a comfortable home at 27S Mt.
Pleasant avenue, and sincerely hope
ice -Chancellor Howell will return the
boy to his mother, who has been yearn-
ing for him these long years.

IA case OF hydrophobia from the
bite OF a fox has Just had It's sequel
at the Pasteur Institute here. Some
months ago Captain Bower. the
master of a pack Of fox hounds in
tho South OF England. while killing
a fox which had been run down by
the pack, was bitten by the animal
in its struggles. The wound
healed rapidly. but after three
months had elapsed he was seized
with violent commissions and dled
in twenty-four hours with all the.
symptoms of hydrophobia, and med
ical science was unable to account
otherwise for his death.
Miss Sylvia Bower, his sister, who
kissed him as he was dying, and
the doctor who attended him. were
sent over to the Paris
Pasteur Institute. where. although
cases OF hydrophobia so long after
the bite had healed, while almost
unheard- OF. are not considered inn
possible, and 1t was decided to keep
Miss Blower and the doctor under
observation for aftseh days. That
period has elapsed and the two pa
tents have been discharged with a
