Welsh on Saturday Afternoon.
81 wanted the police, not the fire
department. said Mrs. Welsh, wife
of Overseer of the Poor James %
Welsh, Saturday afternoon when the
automobile chemical engine and the
auto hook and ladder truck drew mp
in front of her home on Morris street
accompanied by shrieking whistles
and changing bells and followed by a
thousand or more of the Saturday af-
ternoon crowd that thronged the street
There was no fire for the smoke
eaters to fight SO they limbered up
their apparatus and went back to theil
quarters.
1t seems that colored people living
in the rear of Morris and Pine streets
had been burning rubbish Friday
night and the flames threatened Io
set afire the barn of Mr.. Welsh. Mrs.
Welsh was informed of the fact and
called up Chief of Police Holloway,
who, when she told her story and
assured the chief that the bonfire
was still burning. in turn called up
Assistant Chief Fred j. Sharrette.
The latter directed that the appara-
tus be sent to put out the fire. Mrs.
Welsh called up later and told the
chief that what she wanted was the
administering of warning to the
colored folks and had not intended TO
call out the fire department.

HARRIS WINS APPEAL.
Lackawanna Loses In Ticket Seizure
Litigation.

Litigation.
A decision has been handed down
by the court of errors affirming the
verdict for damages recovered in the
Morris common pleas by Joseph Har-
ris, of Rockaway, against the Lack
awanna railroad. The suit was based
upon the action of conductor in TAX
ing up Harriss communication ticket
handed to him for the soc purpose
of having it punched. The ticket was
confiscated on the ground that Harris
had admitted others to use it.
The court held that under the cir
cumstances the ticket was no more in
the legal possession of the conductor
than if he had snatched it from the
owner.
The case dates back to September,
1904. The case went through four
courts. Harris was awarded $3.50
damages.
In first trial of the suit Harris
also obtained a verdict of damages
which was set aside by the supreme
court because of errors in the instruc-
ton of the trial judge to the jury,
upon the question of the measure of
damages. At the second trial the
rule laid down by the supreme court
was followed and the verdict was af-
firmed.
The court, commenting on the case,
said:-
1--WE consider that the action of the
conductor in retaining the ticket and
declaring it forfeited under the cir
cumstances was as much trespass a
if he had snatched 1t out of plaintiff s
hands.
This point once settled, the ques-
ton of damages is simplified, for the
authorities are at one that in the ac-
ton of trespass, which is based on
the taking being violent in contempla-
ton of law, compensatory damages
are recoverable for humiliation and
indignity accompanying the wrongful
act"

NEW TACK ON FlTzHeRgERT.
Republican Senators of Jersey viii
Vote for Expulsion.

Republican Senators of Jersey viii
Vote for Expulsion.
No attempt was made by the SEN
ate Monday night to expell Senator
Fitzherbert, of Morris county, who
was found guilty last week of con-
duct inconsistent with the duty and
trust of a senator. Instead, the SEN
ate devoted the evening to hard work
ON the mass of legislation that has
accumulated since the trial began.
According to the present plans, a
motion to expel will be made to-day,
the expectation being that the demo-
Gratis will vote against it and thus
defeat it.
No further action will be taken by
the republicans, it is understood, ex-
cept to adopt resolution providing
for the printing of ten thousand
copies of the testimony, for distribu-
tion throughout the state. Senator
Fitzherbert was in Trenton Monday
night, but kept away from the state
house. He reiterated his assertion
that he was innocent of any wrong
doing, and said that under no circum-
stances would he resign.
The democratic senators unanimous
ly voted their intention to stand by
Fitzherbert.

The sum of 1926 realized as proceeds
from simple sale, lasting only three
and one half hours, means that oul
townspeople were again most liberal
in their gifts, as well as in theiI
patronage of very deserving cause.

MOTOR BOAT
 SPEED TRIALS
World Will Be Enlightened as to Chug Craft Possi- bilities After Studebaker Event at Detroit Water Fete, Cadillaqua

Just how wild a flight of speed is really possible to the highly developed motOrboat of the present day is ground which nautical sharps have found fertile for argument. Practi cally all events at recent regattas have been raced on a course requir- ing one or more turns. and there are few shippers who have not succeeded in getting the top speed out of their craft for the whole distance.
 Clement Studebaker, Jr., the mill lionaire vehicle and automobile mak- CT, has been closely interested in the argument and has taken advantage of Detroit's Cadillaqua regatta, July 23-26, to make an offer which should go far to differentiate between eX- travagant claim and actual perform ance.
 MT. Studebaker has given a massive sterling silver trophy t0 be awarded the mot0rboat which shall during the regatta WhiZ the fastest flight over the measured "Studebaker Mile" course on the Detroit river. The event is open to all boats propelled by gasoline en- zines, and the trials can be made at any time during the three days of the regatta.
 The fastest of the worlds motor boats arc entered in the Detroit event. The conditions are ideal for the very best results. When the trials over the "Studebaker Mile conclude, the world will be much wiser in real knowledge of the actual limit speeds possible by motor boats. In the mean time yachtsmen steadfastly claim that time of close to a minute is going to be hung up.
 Another interesting event of the re- gatta in Detroit will ne the efforts of the picked senior eights of the nation al association of amateur oarsmen, to esta blish Il new record for the mile i1 this eveItr To stimulate competition J. M. Studebaker, present head of the famous family, has offered handsome trophy.
 Although nearly eighty, MT Stude- baker has never allowed his interest in athletics to lag. In his younger days, he was famous for ability in all outdoor srorts-a liking now credited with his remarkable strength and ac- tivity. He always has been noted for his support of clean sport, prominent among which is his gift to South Bend, Indiana. of one of the finest Y. Nj. c. A. buildings in the country.

F|REMENLEARN
 ID RUN CARS
Automobile Concern Manu- featuring Fire Trucks and Apparatus Believes in Giving Thorough Instruc- tion to Fighters

The successful installation of com mercial vehicles or motor driven fire apparatus and their subsequent prop CT handling and care depend very largely upon the methods adopted by the factory manufacturing the ma who are to drive them.
 As one of the companies to manu- fracture motor trucks, the Knox Auto mobile company. Springfield, Mass, early appreciated the importance of carefully training the men who were to operate the vehicles and for this purpose adopted a thorough system which has been productive of excel lent results from the standpoint of both the company and it's patrons.
 The length of the course given de- bends upon the amount of time per mitted the men by their respective companies or cities, as the case may be, but the most satisfactory arrange ment is for the men to follow the as sembly of their cars right through the factory, beginning with the motor and ending with driving instructions dur ing the rough test of the chassis.
 This course enables the men to be- come familiar with the various parts of the cars in minute detail as well as teaching them practically all of the essential adjustments, etc, necessary for satisfactory results, so that they feel a larger measure of confidence and can give intelligent thought to the care and maintenance of the eX- pensiVe machinery.
