.ASBURY PARK CROWD
DRENCHED BY STORM

Asbury Park, July 15:-Seldom
have Asbury Park residents or visi-
tors seen a more severe thunder
storm. accompanied by a downpour
that was almost a deluge, than that
which lasted several hours yester-
day, disappointing and drenching a
beach crowd of 10000 and turning
streets into knee-deep brooks.
Prospects of a pleasant and fairly
comfortable day had drawn an un-
usually large number of people to
this resort. Fully 5000 were bath
ing and three times that number
were on or near the beach when.
Just before noon, the storm broke
with a fury that sent people hurry
Ing to the nearest places OF shelter.
within a very few minutes the sun
p%arlors, pa%vilions and arcades were
packed with visitors who had no
other clothes with them than those
they we're wearing.
Many OF those in the water were
summer residents here, and as the
rain showed no signs of abating they
went home to their dinners in their
bathing suits, leaving their clothes
In the bath houses to await q more
favorable opportunity OF wearing
them. Lightning flashes, and peals
of thunder OF more than usual tnten-
sity kept many from leaving the
beach,

TROLLEY CAR HELD UP
BY A BROKEN WIRE

New Brunswick, July 16.-When
the Perth Amboy trolley car due

between this city and Metuchen
Saturday morning one OF the guy
wires which supports the overhead

half an hour while the trolley crew
tried to capture the live wire with
out having the whole voltage of the
power house pass through their
bodies.
They got a rope and tried to lasso
1t and they finally succeeded, after
they ignored the volley of advice
showered upon them by the impa-
tient passengers. They tied the live
wire up out of harms way and con-
tinued tibet rip to this city.

VALUABLE WORK FOR
THE STATEDEPARTMENT

David 8. Crater, secretary OF
state. has available for distribution
an edition of the new compilation of
the General Corporation Act of New
Jersey, published by Soney and Sage
of Newark, and prepared by j. B. R.
Smith, who was until very recently
assistant secretary of state.
For many years 1t has been the
policy of the state to supply the pub
lie with annotated editions of this
most important legislation, and it is
believed that to this policy is due
much of the credit for the splendid
financial condition which the state
has enjoyed for many years.
During the past years these ed1-
lions have been prepared by such
eminent corporation authorities as
William H. Corbin and later by
James B. Dill. Upon the death of
Judge Dill, Mr.. Smith undertook the
preparation of an edition to take the
place of the one now unfortunately
no longer available.
Mr.. Smith in preparing this new
compilation has adopted a unique
but simple arrangement, by which 1t
is believed the technical features of
Ll1e CO1 u IdtlOu dCJ IISell anu bhC
case law pertaining thereto, so diff
cut for the lay mind to understand,
have been in great part overcome.
The prevailing custom in the prepa-
ration of law books has been either
to follow the sectional parts OF an
act with annotations or by reference,
place the annotations at the foot OF
the page, but Mr.. Smith, whose broad
knowledge of corporations is the re-
suit of many years of experience,
not only as a lawyer and corporation
organizer, but as guardian of the
states interest realize that either OF
these forme of compilation make
very difficult and technical reading
for those without legal training.
He has accordingly arranged a
story of corporate rights and liabil-
tiles under the General Corporation
Act; a running narrative told In
simple language, arranged in con-
formity with a comprehensive analy-
sis, which deals with every phase OF
corporate character from the concep-
ton of the corporation to It's DISCO
luton. This narrative Is connected
with the various sections Of the act
by cross references.
One of the most pleasing features
of the work is embraced in the first
chapter where Mr.. Smith gives ex-
preston to some original Ideas rela-
tive to the origin and function Of
corporations. The author advances
the theory that corporations are
merely the result of scientific CO.
operation. He tears aside the cur
tain of mystery, and artificial per-
sonality so long drawn about corpor-
ate bodies, and clothes these bodies
in a twentieth century raiment which
Identifies each class and establishes
It's origin.
The Department of State Is fortu-
nate in being able to secure so yalu-
able a work.
