RAILROADS
WILL FIGHT
CUP ORDER
Justice Kalisch Grants Certi0-
rari to Have P. u. Commits
siOn's Order Reviewed.

That the railroad companies of the
State are going to make a fight against
furnishing free drinking cups on their
trains as ordered by the Public Utility
Commission was evidenced today when
George S. Hobart, of Jersey City, rep
resenting the Erie railroad, and M. M.
Stsllman, representing the Lackawan-
ma, appeared before Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Kalisch and asked for
a writ of certiorari giving the railroad
companies the right to review the ac-
ton reviewed by the court,
The writ was granted, but at this
time will not act as a stay, as the
order does not got into effect until
January 1. Justice Kalisch said he
would take the question of ordering a
stay in the putting into effect of the
order under advisement and would an
nounce his decision in a few days.
1t is the contention of the railroad
lawyers hal it is no part of their
duty to furnish drinking cups to pass
engers, while Frank H. Sommer, for
the Public Utility Commission, argued
that the railroads had always fur
nished drinking water for its patrons
and also cups to drink it from. He
contended that they should be forced
to do the same thing now.

. FIREMEN
INJURED IN
BROOKLYN

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Fire which
wrecked two big factory buildings in
the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn,
causing a loss estimated at more than
$500, 900, and throwing nearly 5000 men
temporarily out of employment, is still
burning. The heaviest sufferers were
the F. e. & M. Vernon Company, blank
book manufacturers and bookbinders,
whose siX-story builing at North
Tenth, Eleventh and Berry streets was
laid in ruins, wiping out as well the
factory of the Hartford Brass Bed
Company, which occupied the sixth
floor.
Low water pressure added to the diff
ficulties of the Brooklyn f1remen In
fighting the flames, and a dozen fire
companies were sent across the
Williamsburg bridge from Manhattan.
The roof and the side walls of the
Vernon building and a side wall of the
Electrose structure collapsed and three
f1remen were hurt and had to be re-
moved to a hospital.

that nine-tenths of the estate was TO

one-half was to go TO found the Susan
Rhoda Cutler postgraduate scholar
ship, and the other TO found a like
scholarship to be known as the Carroll
Cutler scholarship.
The one-tenth interest is divided into
three Parts of one-third each. One
goes to tho Women's executive COM
mittee of Home Missions of the Pres
byterian Church, one to the Women's

One thing. however, went OFF half
cooked" The Roosevelt and Colby
boom, for President and United States
senator. respectively. was given a
check when Colby and Edmund p. os-
borne urged that r.. Arthur Heller's
resolution ENDORSING the two be laid on
the table.
Mr.. Colby was of the opinion that
the resolution was premature, as he
wished the Progressives from all parts
of the state to agree on the subject
before action of this sort was taken.
Mr.. Colby admitted that he wished
TO become United States senator, but
that he did not wish to hold Office If
It was detrimental to the best inter-
ests of the PARTY to do so.
MIR. Osborne was of the same opinion
and said:
"No one who knows of my relations
toward Mr.. Colby will misconstrue my
motive. If Mr.. Colby should be for
Innate enough to receive the nomina-
ton. no one will throw up his hat any
higher than l.. But this movement Is

for any particular man. Our chief OBJ
ject in the election of a United states

the best available la in New Jersey
for Senator and not the Office for any
man.
"If We indorse anyon at this time
from Essex County the rest of the
State can say, and with some show
Of Justice. that we are Progressives
for our own sake. In seeking for the
best available man we must organize
a search party and seek out the man
and when we find him we must be
unanimous in our choice"
In speaking Of the candidacy for
President Mr.. Osborne said that while
the same reasons for delay did not
exist they were just as weighty. never
theless. lie pointed out that Colonel
Roosevelt has repeatedly SAID that he

would not be a candidates; that he
himself had heard hin say that he
would not consider tho office. On his
account, taken with the other reasons,
1t vas best 10 delay h matter, he
said.
George NJ. Judd spoke against adopt
ing the resolution. He with
what the o ers said in regard to the
Senatorial candidacy and said that he
was opposed to %indorsing Roosevelt,
because he was on the fence" and
was not an out-and-out Progressive
like La Toilette and others. He fur
Their said that President Taft was a
good President. although in the begin
ming of his administration he had
proved unsatisfactory on the tariff
question, his official acts for the last
year or two had been a constant effort
TO correct the errors he had made
earlier In h.s administration.
When the distribution of presents
began all the progressives gathered
around Santa Claus'' and awaited
their presents eagerly. Mr.. Colby did
not receive a hobby-horse. as was ex-
pected, but was given two manikins
that can be wound up and which make
faces at each other Just like a ''regu-
lar and 81 pro- whengthey meet on
the street. After everA gift a funny
speech was made.
Mr.. Colby had a very nice symbolic
gift ready for Walter 2. Simpson, but
Mr.. simpson was not IN hand to re-
ceive it. IT was a small elephant made
of rubber and which bleated plain
lively when you squeezed II. Mr..
COLBY remarked hat the bleat indi-
Gated a cry asking to be taken back
into the fold. Mr.. Colby asked, in true
Yuletide spirit. that Simpson be not
Judged too harshly by anyone, unless
they thought Simpson acted dis
honestly. Pointing to the long years
of service and his aid to the party.
Mr.. Colby asked tina Simpson be dealt
with "charitably."
