ened later by COverdale, whom he

key and struck him with t. The wit
ness said that COverdale said he had
a great mind to beat his brains out
for being in the house. Thompson said
that when he felt in his pocket his
money was gone and so was the wo-
man who had shown him into the
room.
After hearing the evidence on both
sides the court dismissed the case.
Coverdale, Annie Pryor, Mary Small
wood. Esther Benson. the colored wo-
men having been held as witnesses In
the murder case, were allowed TO leave

MR.. DUBELL in
MAYORS ROLE
Decides to Become a Candi-
date, Making Three--COr-
nered Contest
MILLARD F. DAVIS ALSO
BEING URGED AS CANDIDATE

Charles h. Dubell has announced his
candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Mayor His name has been
mentioned for several days. and Mr..
Dubell gave it out that he was not
candidate At the solicitation Of many
friends, hoVever, he announced last
night that he would consent to the use
of his name and will stand as a candi-
date. He was urged to run two years
ago. but he declined to do so then. Mr..
Dubell says he is not the candidate of
any person or Of any faction.
Mr. Dubell is a well-known mer-
chant, and also is much interested in
church affairs. He has been confined to
his home, No. 1902 Washington street
for two weeks as a result of a serious
fall, which caused several injuries.
He is still unable TO use his right arm.
Mr.. Dubell this morning confirmed
the announcement that he will be a
candidate. After much persuasion
from my friends they have convinced
me l should come out" said Mr.. Du-
bell. "While I haven't been seeking the
nomination or office, my candidacy is
entirely in the hands of my friends
/ am not connected with any wing Of
the party If / should be nominated
and elected l will be entirely un-
pledged. That is the only condition
under which | would allow my name
to be used
II would not be surprising II the fol-
lowers of ePter Ford line up behind
Mr.. Dubell, or some other candidate
not yet announced, and back him
against the denomination OF Mayor j..
Harvey Spruance, who will have the
support Of the friends of Street and
Sewer Director Matthew d. Murphy
and City Solicitor John w. Brady AS
was stated yesterday. It is altogether
likely that John F. Malloy will assume
the leadership OF the Spruance- Murphy
forces and give battle to the followers
of Mr. Ford should they decide TO
fight it out for city Democratic leader
ship.
Mr. Dubel's entrance into the con-
test will bring about a three-cornered
contest, as Robert Pennington also is
i'm the Mayoralty canvass. From now
on a merry time can be expected.
1t was reported today that Millard r
Davis, the well-known jeweler, ma!
become a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor II Is know
that he has been urged by many in
1uential Democrats to become a candi
date. but he has not assented. Mr.
Davis was out of the city today and n,
statement as to his attitude could b.
obtained.

FOR RECEIVER
Residents Of Newark Ask
ChanCery Court to Settle
Light Lease SquabbIe
COMPANY AND COUNCIL
OPPOSE TURN IN CASE

Chief Justice Pennewill. sitting In
Chancery Court this morning. heard
argument for and against the ap-
pointment Of receiver for the New
ark Water and Electric Company,
which corporation now holds the
town water and light plant. Before
/ hearing the argument the Chief JUS
] uce announced that he had found u
state similar to the present one. u
was the Dover Church case I'm which
application for a preliminary iniunc-
/ ton mandatory IN character had been
denied by former Chancellor Nichol-
son and the rule discharged
Edward w. Cooch. representing the
citizens Of Newark, then presented the
following reasons In support OF
motion for the appointment OF a re-
ceiver for the new lighting company.
/. Because the Newark Water aud
Electric Company is irresponsible.
2. Because the interests OF the citi-
zens and tax payers are not protected
by suitable or adequate bonds
g. Because the monies belonging 20
the several parties will become hope
lessly commingled.
4. Because a receivership will tend
toward Fastening the final determina-
tion Of the controversy.
5. Because receivership will
make unnecessary the appointment Of
a master TO settle accounts, I'm the
event Of rs being finally determined
that the lease must be cancelled and
the property returned to the Council
Mr.. Cooch reviewed the interest the
taxpayers Of Newark have in the plants
leased to the Newark Light and Elec-
trio Company The company Is a new
one. he argued. and the supposed
bend is not good because there is no
