SOUTH RIVER is
ON DEFENSIVE
Suit Against the Borough
Must be Tried.
(Frou the NEWS Correspondent

(From the NEWS CorTespondenf)
Trenton, June 10:-The fact thai
that an electric light plant is main
tanned and operated by a municipal
ity for governmental purposes and
also for supplying light for private
use for profit, Is no bar to recovery
of damages for injuries from a live
wire of the plant, Is the ruling of
the Supreme Court in a decision Just
handed down in a South River case.
The suit for damages was orough
by Joseph K~arpenskt, a relative or
Alexander Karpenski. a child, VINO
was badly injured by coming in con-
tact with a live wire from the South
River Borough municipal electric
light plant. The wire was hanging
near the ground in Whitehead ave
nue., South River. The borough was
made the defendant in the action on
the ground that the accident was due
to the negligence of the borough au-
thorities. The boy was injured while
walking along the public street.
The defendant demurred to the
declaration in the suit and also
moved to strike out the declaration
upon the ground that 1t alleged the
relative to be the plaintiff, instead
of the infant for whom the suit was
brought, and, therefore, concluded
to the damage of the relative in
stead of the infant. The Supreme
Court found no merit in the ground
for the motion to strike and re-
fused to grant the motion. The court
also o%verruled the demurrer n
gave Judgment for the plaintiff,
thereby permitting the suit to be
continued on its merits. The opin-
ion is by Justice voorhees,.

SOUTH JERSEY
is FOR WILSON
Significant Vote in Cumber-
land County Proves 1t.
cFron the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, June 1O:-The Wilson
leaders of the state are ~analyzing
the presidential primary election re
turns and claim that the analysis
shows they have not oVer-estimated
the governors strength. For exam
pie, they point out, the governor
was 50 strong in B~ridgeton that
George w. Betchner, of that city,
who ran as third mar or the Wilson
alternate ticket in the Second Dis
trict, received only thirty votes in
the city. 1t was claimed that Betch-
ner was put in the field by former
United States Senator James Smith,
Jr., to divide the Wilson vote and
thereby hurt the governor.
Betchner is popular in Bridgeton
and was elected tax collector there
a few years ago by a plurality of
200. There was no personal OPP
position to him in the recent pri-
mary, the opposition to him being
merely that he was not a regular
Wilson man. The Wilson leaders
say the fact that he received only
thirty votes under the circumstances,
shows the governors strength in
South Jersey.
