ST. SIMON CASE
BEFORE A JURY
FOR FIRST TINE
FAMOUS DOCK CASE WILL COME
UP IN TIE SUPERIOR
COURT TODAY.
Though the Case Has Been to the su-
preme Court Twice, on Matters of
Law, It Has Never Been Decided
Before a Jury.

Inough the case has been in the
courts for two or three wears and
while it has twice been to the supreme
court, for the first time today the case
of +. D. Aiken, ct al VS.. Mrs. Lena
Wallace, ct al, known as the st. 81
mon dock case, will come up before
a jury in the Glynn superior court
and will be tried on its merits, and
upon the result depends the question
OF whether or not anyone has the right
to construct a wahrf at st. Simon's
pier
The question involved in this case
is very important one and is well
known by the people of the city, but
so often has features of the case been
decided in local courts and by the su-
preme court, that few people have
been able to keep up with the pro-
ceedings and consequently do not
know the present status of the case.
The case originated few years ago
when the Peoples Line built a pier
at St Simon and put into operat.cn
the steamer Ellen. The steamer was
in operation for one summer and then
an Injunction was filed by the st. ST
mon Transit company, restraining the
Peo ole's Line from using the pier at
the island, on the ground that the
company had no right to construct the
pier The injunction was heard be-
fore judge t. A Parker then judge
of he Brunswick circcuit, who re-
fused to grant the Injunction. The
st. Simon Transit company then ap-
pealed from the decision of Judge
Parker and carried the case to the
supreme court, and the higher tri-
bunal reversed the lower court. An
other phrase of the case, involving a
matter of law, was then heard before
Judge Conyers, the present judge,
whiC: was decided in favor of ;he
Transit company, and again the case
was carried to the supreme court, iris
time by the Peoples Line.
For two years the case hos been
fought out on injunctions, new trials,
interrogatories, etc., and today, it
seems, the case is almost where it
started, and will be fought out for the
first time before jury. But no mat
ter what the verdict is, it is safe to
predict that the case will not finally
end, as either side will have the right
again to appeal the case and it is
more than likely that this will be
done.
The st. Simon Transit company is
represented by H. F. Dunwody and D.
w. Krauss, and the Peoples Line by
A. D. Gale and Boiling Whitfield.

SICNSTO AID
AUTO TRAFFIC
May BIO at Smith and High
Divert Course.

AS a means of guiding auto traffic
through this city by way of the low
er part of Smith street, High and
Market streets, the city may erect
signs at High and Smith streets.
This has been suggested by Acting
Mayor Garretson in order to keep
automobile traffic off the busiest sec
tons of Smith street.
From personal observation the act
ing mayor has learned that ordinary
business traffic is almost constantly
heavy on Smith street west of High
street and he deems it would be Tor
the best interests of all concerned TO
keen tourists off that part OF the
Ithoroughfare as much as possible by
directing them from Smith street
south into High street, to use Mar
ket street, if they wish to ros the
county bridge. As the greatest
amount of automobile traffic TO and
from the Staten Island ferry goes
over the Raritan river bridge, the
use of Market street for the same
is being uged.
