HULT IS HELD
FOR 80 DAYS
Now affinity" Appears in
New York Court.

Upon the presentation of a certi-
fed copy of an Indictment by a grand
jury of this county, Magistrate
Murphy, sitting in the West Side
Court, New York; Saturday, held
Louis Hult, alleged bigamist. for
thirty days pending the securing of
requisition papers to bring him to
this state for trial on charges of de-
sertion and nOn-support brought by
wife No. l, Mrs. Matilda Hut, of 280
Davidson avenue, this city.
Assistant Prosecutor Russell B.
watson, Of New Brunswick, with
Detective Sergeant Long and Mrs.
Hult, of this city, arrived at the
West Side court Saturday to find
Hult represented by an attorney
named Moore and the interests Of
Nassau county, Hult's home for some
time past, represented by the assist
ant district attorney of that jurisdic-
ton. Wife No. 2, or Hult's Wood
mere spouse, was not present. The
legal preambles and arguments
which preceded Magistrate Murphy's
orders to have HUT held for thirty
days took about an hour and a half.
During this time a new HUT affinity
appeared on the scene, had a short
conversation with the prisoner and
his attorney and departed. She was
lashily dressed and exhibited much
paint and powder.
Hult's attorney fought the holding
of his client on a ground of mistaken
identity but could not sustain his al
legation. HUT is now confined in
the Tombs, the New York city prison,
awaiting requisition. His lawyer
will make a strong fight to prevent
the papers being issued by the New
York authorities. Although HUT
has offered wife No. l a substantial
income if she will drop the proceed
ings against him the woman, Mrs.
Matilda Hult, of this city, has shown
no sign that she will accept the offer,
seemingly preferring that the law
should take its course, although it Is
understood that she is in modest
circumstances.

mulcted yearly out of $4,000 for
the use OF that canal. But as Tweed
said. What are you going to do
about it?"
Black on Railroad Powers.
In answer, 1 quote briefly from
that able jurist Judge Jere s. Black,
railroad and all other corporations,
to wit:
Railroad men misunderstood
pretend to believe that railways
are the property of the companies
authorized to run them, which is a
cardinal error and the parent of
much false argument. A public
highway cannot be private property
and a railroad laid out and built by
the authority of the State for the
purposes of is as much a
public highway as a turnpike road,
canal Or navigable river. 1t Is the
duty of the State to promote inter-
curse and trade by making high
ways of the best sort through her
territory. To this end she may take
land and materials, which Is an ex-
ercise of power of eminent domain.
She can build a railway at her OWL
expense, using the direct agency of
her own officers, and after 1t is built
she car make 1t free to all corners;
she can delegate the taking and tax
ing powers to a corporation or a nat
ural person. and that 1t what she al
ways does when she grants a railroad
charter. But In either case the road
belongs to the State.
THE corporations who have got
into the habit of calling themselves
the owners of railroads have no
property right, title of claim to the
roads themselves, but a mere fran
chise annexed to and exercisable
therein. They are the agents of the
State for the performance OF a pub
lie duty. If the franchise be for
feited or surrendered, or If 1t expire
by efiux of time, the State takes
possession of the road and runs 1t
herself, or employs a new agent.
The company cannot keep the road
any more than an outgoing collect
or OF a port a appropriate to him
self the custom house where he did
his official work. 49, The rail-
roads being public property in which
all Of the people have equal rights,
and the companies that run them be-
ing public agents, 1t Is absurd to say
that the State has no right to regu-
late and control them In the per-
Torrance of their functions by such
laws as will prevent partially, plum
der and extortion. This Is q power
of which no free State can disarm IT.
self. They could as lawfully sell
the State out and out and deliver
up the entire population to sack and
pillage."
l will only add to this opinion of a
great jurist that I believe the day is
not far distant when the franchises
will be taken away from these r.
porations.

THINK CLAYTON
is RIGHT MAN
Sentiment in His Favor
for Surrogate.
Especial Correspondence. }

Trenton, April 2:-The announce
Nment that Frederick NJ. P. Pearse, of
Metuchen, would have the indorse-
ment and support of Senator Silzer,
Of MiddleseX, for appointment as
surrogate Of that county, until an
election might be held next fall, was
made considerable comment in the
county. The appointment of Peter
F. DAILY as Judge of the Court of
Comomn Pleas, creates a vacancy, as
he was the surrogate of the county.
The appointment of any one to the
place would simply be for a few
months, at best, since q new surro-
gate would have to be elected, under
the requirements Of the law, at the
election next fall.
Daniel Webster Clayton, of Gran
bury, who has been the deputy sur
rogate for many years, would like
to have the appointment, as well as
to be the candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket next fall. He has been
Endorsed for the appointment, as
we'll as for the nomination. 1t Is
understood that the theory of Sena-
tor Silzer is that inasmuch as the
nan appointed can only serve for a
short time, 1t is one of the political
"plums" that might as well be
passed around. MI. Clayton would
not suffer any by such an appoint
ment as he would no doubt be CON
tinued In his present position.
That Mr.. Pearse Is well fitted for
the position Is admitted, even by
some of the men who are not favor
able to his appointment. That he
has always been a consistent Demo-
crat. and a hard worker for the
party is also admitted. Mr.. Pearse
was the partner OF Senator Silzer at
one time, and there is no one better
/ acquainted with his worth and abil-
tiles than the Senator. He feels
that the appointment Of Mr.. Pearse.
it Is understood, would be a well de-
served recognition of his hard work
in behalf Of the party, and there Is
every reason to believe that Gov
ernor Wilson will be preailed upon
to take the same view Of the matter.

KEYP0RT MAN
BROUGHT SUIT
speotal to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, April Sidney Walling,
a farmer living Just outside the Dor
ough limits, brought suit through his
attorney. John Lloyd, of bIatawan,
for 500 before Justice Walling in
the town hall Saturday against Jesse
Beers, the local coal and wood deal
er, for the alleged damages caused
to a wagon and harness that was de-
stroyed last election day by being
struck by a passenger train on the c..
r. r. OF N. j. at about dark in the
afternoon. Mr.. Beers was represent
ed by Attorney H. e. AckersOn, Jr.,
OF this place.
1t was claimed by Walling that a
boy named Sidney Pebble went after
some coal on the day in question and
that after the coal had been put on
the wagon 1t was placed on the
scales to be weighed. The boy then
went into the Office to pay his bill.
At this point, Mr.. Walllng claimed,
M Of Mr.. Beers's colorsd men came
along and led the horse of the scales
into the street, heading the horse to-
ward home. The animal continued
on and while crossing the railroad
tracks the wagon was demolished
! and the coal scattered. The horse
was not hurt, 1t being just far
enough over the tracks to escape be-
ing hit.
The defense claimed that the acct
dent was eaused by the boy being
careless in leaving the horse united
and that the boy was in the office
longer than necessary as he was get

time waiting for chanua

Especial Correspondence.

Trenton, April 3:-Sponsor for
the bill which bears his name, if not
entirely its author, Elmer H. Geran,
nominee for state senator next fall.
assemblyman from Monmouth,
is already mentioned as a probable
nominee for state senator next fall.
There is also a possibility that a year
later his name may be considered in
connection with the Congressional
nomination, when, 1t is expected,
Monmouth county may be asked to
supply the candidate.
The term of oliver II. Brown, of
Spring Lake, as state senator from
Monmouth, will expire with the
present year. He has already an
nounced that he will not be a candi-
date again next fall, and in some
quarters it is understood that he has
aspirations to represent the third
Congressional district in the House
of Representatives. Like other Re-
publicans, 1t is possible that Senator
Brown has an idea that 1912 will be
a good year to run for Congress on
the s~uppositiOn that the national
ticket will help the local candidates,
and particularly the nominees for
On the republican JlCkeI.
Geran's Popularity.
Mr.. Geran was elected last year
by a plurality of 2,119 over Peter
V~redenburgh, the highest candidate
on the Republican ticket. This is a
fair indication of his popularity.
His friends are confident that
the present session OF the Legisla-
ture shall close he will be still more
popular because of the passage of
the Geran bill, which will mean less
corruption at the polls, II not en-.
tirely pure elections.
Mr.. Geran is a warm friend Of
Governor Wilson. He was gradu-
ated from Princeton University in
1899. That he was selected az the
sponsor for the election bill which
bears his name Is a mark uf conf
dence on the part of the 9oyern0r,
and indicates an appreciation Of his
excellent capabilities as Il member or
the Assembly. Mr.. Geran has al
ready made a name for himself in
the Legislature, by the manner in
which he has seconded the efforts Of
the Governor to get his bill through.
If it should be decided by the Demo-
Gratis Of Monmouth county to name
him as the Senatorial candidate, It
is believed that he would easily de-
feat any man the Republicans might
name.

tive as the tolls imposed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company on
traffic passing over this most i'm
portant link in the chain of nayiga-
ton In the United States.
THE toll that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company imposes on the
Delaware and Raritan Canal for

from 85 cents to $3.50 a ton. The
railroads have every barrier in the
way of our canal commerce.

West in freight, controlled and ship
ped by the RAILROADS themselves over

ble."
Capt. Clark is wondering where
the final report of the committee to
investigate the Delaware and Raritan
Canal has landed. He says there is
a rumor that it has been bottled up.
