Special Efforts to Collect $1,000 Out
standing on Meters.

II Is likely that a special effort will
be made during the next few weeks to
collect the $4,000 which is outstanding
on water meters i'm the village, and
until the most of this amount has been
received, no further meters will he in

year it is expected that the consumer

amount. or SO every quarter This
many have failed to do, and as a re-
suit over $4,000 of the village funds
are tied up. Martin Prisk. Jr., secre-
tary of the water board, acting on in
slructions from the council, proposes
TO make special effort next month to
collect this money. He stated that the
collcctions of the regular water tax
are about normal, but that many of
the residents have been careless with

Though under the constant care OF

FRIENDS FEAR TY COBB

USUAL VIM WITH TIGERS.
Sensational Work Against Athletics
May Have Been Cause.

Washington July 27.--Friends of
.Tyrus Cobb are greatly worried over
the present physical condition of the
Tiger star. and it is feared that the
mighty Tyrus is on the verge of ner-
vous breakdown. Such calamity at
this time would be Il terrible blow to
the pennant winning chances Of the
Tigers.
Since the Philadelphia series, when
Cobb demonstrated by his marvellous
work that he is the greatest of all
players on the diamond his friends
have noticed that there is something
radically wrong with him. His speed
has slackencd perccptibly and he seems
to have lost the edge off the snap and
vim that have always characterized
his work on the diamond.
It is feared that Cobb has overtaXed
his strength. During the Philadelphia
series he played like one possessed.
He ran the bases in daring and reck-
less manner that completely dunn
founded the Philadelphians. on the
field he was in constant motion
seemingly a bundle Of nerves.
a Detroit physician, a friend of
Cobb's. made the following remark at

Theodore s, Fettinger, Mr.. Place and
Mr.. Fettinger being old-time friends

amongst his friends that he has a we'll
digested plan for minimizing the fric-

means that will recommend themselves
TO both workers and capitalists. While
Mr.. Place is not ready to declare his
plans, he is confident that the time is
ripe for something TO be done in this
direction.
Mr.. Place believes the time Is near
at hand when the wage-earner and

nifty to derive a revenue from invested
earnings far greater han is possible

The reason is plain-the article did not

most sells itself, as. like an endless

mended by those who have boen cured

years and never hesitate to recommend,

FARMER TRIES TO
TEACH COURT LAW.
Vice.ChancellOr a More Apt
Pupil Than He Expected.

Charles Wanner, a farmer, of West
Orange, who acted as his own lawyer
before Vice-Chancellor Emery today
In connection with a disputed right of
way, bumped hard against the bench
before he got through with his brief
legal experience. He claims that there
is no right of way to the property in
dispute, and Warmer was rash enough
to suggest that the bench was wrong
in a ruling.
Warmer owns a strip of land In West
Orange 35 feet wide and 300 feet long,
and Joseph Weisbecker, O. neighbor,
claims the right Of way yer it. Wan
ner built a fence across the disputed
tract and Ollie Burgess, another neigh
Dor also claiming a right of way, tore
down the fence.
Then the lawyer secured a rule TO
show cause why Wanner should not be
enjoined from further interference with
Burgess and Wanner appeared in court
without counsel. He was told to ap-
pear with counsel.
No legal light appeared at the side
of the farmer today either 10 enlighten
him through the mazes of his alleged
legal rights. and the court vas visibly
nettled. Wanner was asked why he
had not lone as he had been told.
II haven't any money to hire q law
YER" came from Wanner, somewhat
smartly.
But you have property, and the
matter can be easily arranged" came
from the court kindly. Il have signed
a restraining order, and you must not
interfere with the use Of the right of
way until this matter is settled
but he can't drive over private
property" came from the farmer.
Yes. he can" corrected the court.
Nov you have got your warning, and
Ii you interfere n moro o will get
into trouble"

Accused of Staying West Ho-
boken Man, Is Finally Caught
in Brooklyn.

teenth street, Brooklyn, this morning,
charged with the murder of Joseph
Coury. In an embroidery factory at 5i6
Monastery street, West Hoboken. on
the night of February s, 1907.
The police In this country and abroad
have been searching for orraye since
the night of the murder. II Is said
that some months ago he came to the
conclusion that he was safe and moved
to the Brooklyn address. Two New
Jersey detectives learned where he was
living and his arrest followed. He was
locked up at Manhattan police head
quarters to await e~xtradition.
At the time of Coury's murder II was
said that he had bought a mortgage on
a plant owned by the Orraye brothers
and had foreclosed on II. At midnight
on February s. 1907. nine men surround
ed the plant and began firing through
the doors and windows. Coury. who
was inside, was shot and instantly
killed. Seven men were arrested in
New York for the murder. out were
acquitted at their trial for lack of evil
dence.
Mener Rick, one of the suspects, was
arrested in Turkey and was about TO
be extradited when Mahomet v. came
into power and liberated him, along
with about every other criminal and
suspected criminal In his domain. The
police claim they have good evidence
against Peter Orraye, but they made
the same claim when the other suspects
were arrested.

months term in the Essex county peni-

asked what he had to say he launched
into a TRADE of abuse against the officer
during which the Shorter and uglier

After the fifth repetition of the word
Judge Hahn cut short proceedings with

the penitentiary for you. Maybe it will
cure your tongue"

again. but vas hustled from the court
room,
