REMEMBER, TURN TO THE
RIGHT

All are doubtless acquainted with
The rule of the road that on meet
ing rig YOU shou Id turn to the
right but many persAns seem to be
confused as to the ule to be OBJ
served when passing pr being pass
ed by a rig going in the same direc-
ton. The stale law specifies that a
rig oyertaken by another, the occu-
pant of which signifies desire to
pass, the rig ovcrtaken shall take
the right of the center of the road
and the passing rig shall take the
left of the center. Remember, the
rig being passed goes to the right,
the rig passing goes to the left.

A goodly number of local fans
turned out Sunday afternoon to wit
ness good exhibition of the ma
iional game played on the grounds
just outside the corporation line,
the home team and the aggregation
from Burt being the contestants for
the honors of the day. Although
ihe home boys lost the game by one
point their defeat carries with it
no dishonor and the victorS know
That they gained no easy victory.

all the time and there was no lack

ing out eighteen of the necessary
lwenty-seven men, and since both
teams could not possibly win, it Is
all right to assume that each pitcher
was accorded about the same kind
of support from his mates. There
were few hits, fewer errors, and
very few runs,
Clio gave the visitors their "ins"
and Tcachout gave three strikes,

men that faced him.

GIBSON ON TRIAL
FOR LIFE, ACCUSED
AS SzABO SLAYER
Faces Men Who Will
Soon Be Asked to
Decide His Fate.

GOSHEN, N. Y. Nov. 1S.-One hum
dred and ninety talesmen, most of
them farmers, crowded into the little
courtroom here today for the trial of
Burton w. Gibson. the New York
lawyer, living in Rutherford, N. j.,
charged with murder, first degree. In
causing the death of his client, Mrs.
Rosa Menschik Szabo The attorneys
hoped to fill the jury box today and
the prosecution thought that 1t might
be ready to rest its case by Thurs
day.
District Attorney Rogers will en-
deavor to prove that Mrs Szabo's
death. while boating with Gibson on
Greenwood lake July 16 last, was due
not to drowning but to strangulation.
and that Burton hurled her from the
rowboat into the water, grappled with
her and choked her to death. DR..
Otto Schultze. of New York, the cor
oner's physician who performed the
autopsy, testified at |Gibson's exami-
gulation by compression from with
out"
The defense holds that Mrs Szabo
died of drowning and that her death
was accidental Gibson had not de-
cided this forenoon whether he would
take the stand.
As a motive for the alleged murder,
the State will seek to prove that Glib
son converted his clients $4,000 es-
tate, of which. under a will drawn for
him by Mrs. Szabo, he was named as
executor. Mr.. Rogers will attempt to
show that $7,100 of this estate, par
TALLY administered by Gibson prior to
his arrest, is missing. Jacob ]. SIN
ger, Gibson's counsel, said today that
the s7,100 was paid to woman known
to Gibson as Mrs Petronella Men

SHE DIES OF LONG,
BATTLING ILLNESS
Miss Nesbitt, Teacher to Deaf
Mutes, Succumbs to Rare
Disease.

Following long illness from rare
disease, which has baffled medical
science, Miss Louise Nesbitt, of 167
Ellw'ood arenue. died yesterday at her
home Miss Nesbitt was attended by
DIR. E. w Murray, of 81 Washington
avenue, who first visited the stricken
woman in August.
According to DR.. Murray the dis
ease which proved fatal to Miss Mes
bitt is very rarely met with in medi-
cal inquiries, and its name would inn
ply nothing to the ordinary layman,
as it is very technical and lengthy.
Miss Nesbitt was SS years old. She
had been a teacher in a deaf and
dumb asylum in New York city. She
was the daughter of the late Thomas
]. Nesbitt and granddaughter of the
late John Nelson Rose.
Dr. Murray declared that an au-
topsy would be performed and later
he would write an article describing
the case in the Medical Journal.

unanimous opinion of the court. He
said that rights conferred by patents
were extensive. but did not give a
universal license against the positive
prohibitions of the Sherman law. The
decision fully sustained the govern

ago, against the bathtub and
enameled ware manufacturers.

was Edwin L. Wayman, with whom
the corporate defendants and their
officials were charged with having

that they have prepared for spread

Mr. Wahle began his plea for the
