Witnesses Saw
 Boat Rocking
FIFTEEN TESTIFY REGARDING
 THE szA6o TRAGEDY.
EXHUME WOMAN'S BODY
Remains Found in Cheap Coffin Cloth ed Only in Night Gown-Gibson Sold Some of Her Belongings for s.

New York, Sept. s.-Ther body of Mrs Rosa Menschik Szabo, who met death in Greenwood lake, N. r., on July IS, while boating in company with Burton W. Gibson, her attorney, was exhumed today from it's unmarked grave in New York City cemetery, Jersey City. An autopsy will be per- formed tomorrow in order to deter mine definitely, if possible, whether the woman was accidentally drowned as reported at the time, or whether causes contributed to her death. A superficial examination today revealed no marks of violence
 Buried in Cheap Coffin.
 The body. which Gibson, as executor of the woman's s10,000 will, caused to be inferred without ceremony July 19, under the name of Mrs. Ritter. by which she was sometimes known, was contained in a cheap oak coffin and was clothed only in a night gown.
 Evidence to Warrant Legal Action.
 Dr. Fritz Fischerauer. the Austrian consul general, who is seeking to have Gibson deposed as executor, on the ground that false statements were made in the probating of the will, stated today that he had sufficient ev- idenee to warrant legal action.
 The consul general. who superin- tended the disintefment today, declar- ed that he had definitely established that Mrs, Petrenela Mensehik, Mrs. Szabe's mother, whose name is signed to a waiver of citation filed with her daughters will. died in Austria, two years ago.
 Possibility of Murder.
 We are waiting the autopsy before taking any action," Dr. FischeraueI said, though our case is complete Today we received two cablegFams from our government stating that the death certificates of Mrs. Menscik were being forwarded. Franz Men, schik, Mrs. Szabo's brother, is about to start for this country. The possi- bility that Mrs. Szabo was murdered is such serious matter, however, that we have decided to withhold pressing the conspiracy feature until the autop- sy is performed"
 Boat Was Rocking Violently. Dr. Fischerauer received from Sher- Tiff Degraw today of Orange county the affidavits of fifteen witnesses at | Greenwood lake. Different versions of the tragedy were given, but all agree that the boat was rocking vio- | lently.
 The consul general also has witness. es by whom he expects to prove that Mrs. Szabo. who could not read ol write, it is said, knew that her mother i was dead and had talked with Gibso1 on the subject. Mrs Albert Stern who lived in the same apartment house with Mrs. Szabo, helped to iden. | tify the body today. Mrs. Stern sait that four days after her death Gibsor called upon her and sold to her, for $5 some of Mrs. Szabo's personal belong. ings.
 Gibson Says He Is Satisfied. Gibson today professed to be satis. fled that the autopsy would be per. formed, "as it would settle the matter once for all and stop this talk"

to cross the continent June rs to 30;
warm wave June "A to %; cool wave
June "a to July /. One interesting fea-
ture Of this will be the very cool
weather during that week. another will
be lack OF rain in large parts of the
country. Much u-neasiness may be TX
pected about that time because Of a
deterioration in condition Of the crops
but most damage is to be feared dur
ing July and August.
"A great hot wave is expected TO
cross the continent between July i
is. During that w weeks 1t
will be generally hot and dry in large
of the country and crop dam
ages will be greater than usual. Symp-
toms of this drought appeared in the
southwest in May and June and are
expected to drift eastward in July.
Excessively hot is expected in parts

M {. ROBINSON.
Candidate for judge Of Supreme Co

Sanaiuare TOR Judge or supreme Court.
In his publicity letter, Robinson
avs The expense Of a law suit is
commonly ruinous to both the winner
and the loser, and yet, a large part of
1T is levied on the tax payers. The
judges have time and opportunity to
note the defects Of the law and to draft
and secure the passage of measures to
remedy every defect. They have power
to make rules of court, and to put an
end to all the delays, CRAFTS and tech
nicaIities which continue to be q re-
proach to the law. They have power
to get out Of the old ruts of the law
and to deal Of remedial justice in a
plain, common sense and b~usinesslike
manner. This they have never done.
On the contrary, they keep in the old
nical procedure to blind their eyes and
to shut out the light of truth. and often
to make a mockery Of justice. The
judges Of the United States supreme
court and of every other court are
merely public servants who have a
task to perform. If they cannot lay
aside vain pomp and dignity and keep
up with their work and do 1t well, their
plain duty is to give place to others
who can do it. There is no honesty in
drawing a salary for the doing Of work
which Is left undone.
+, The writer is a worker and a think
er. He offers to work and to show how
to remedy the wrongs of legal pFoce-
dure. He offers to formulate and Sc
cure the passage of court rules and
laws to make every step and every
proceeding in the courts as cheap and
as simple as 1t can be made. He thinks
on the graft of the law which falls on
suitors and tax payers, and on practi-
cal measures to reduce 1t in each year
several hundred thousand dollars. He
promises, If elected, to give an account
of his work and to resign or make
good. Now it is high time to awake
out Of sleep. 1t is high time for a,
moral awakening and a great judicial
reform. Ii is time for the citizen to
think Of these things, and without ia
yor to any person, to name for judge Of
the supreme court a person of mature
judgment and of abilities to discern
and do his duty. The Office demands a
person of very special fitness. A per-
son may be a nice gentleman, a smooth
talker, a clever politician with a good
store Of law, and still he may have no
special fitness for this office. He may
not have clearness OF discernment and
mental vision, a judician temperament
and a practical knowledge of law and
of common business affairs. Why not
ask the candidate: Have you had a
supreme court practice of many years,
and have you any real experience in
conducting law business? Can you
show your faith by your work and not
by mere law talk and theory?
Respectfully submitted,
James e. Robinson.
