NEWARKERS At
ODDS OVER BILL
FOR LOCAL OPTION
Rev. {. A. Wasson Among Those
Who Oppose Measure Be-
fore Senate.
nnom q star corresponaent. J

TRENTON, March 7.-Superinten-
dent E. L. Stearns, of the Anti-salooi
League. opened the discussion at the
hearing on the local option bill in the
Senate Chamb Der yesterday. The Senate
sat as a committee of the whole, with
Senator Edge in the chair.
S. S. Swackhamer, of Plainfaeld, de
clared that local option is a constitu-
tional right providing an enabling act
is allowed by the Legislature.
Other speakers were: C. G. Ellsworth,
OF Newark; Frank Thatcher, Judge A.
z. Blair, Ohio; DR.. ]. Ward Gamble,
Monmouth County, and 7. Alex Cairns,
Newark.
Mr.. Ellsworth read a report show
ing that Newark saloons take in $751;
727 a year.
He said that the liquor traffic costs
Newark $10.761 $40 per year, offset by
the liquor license of s60S.0 60.
This means, he said, $3.50 for every
person in Newark.
Every inch of space in the gallery
and ON the floor of the senate was
crowded.
Mr.. Ellsworth declared that he did
not say that Newark would bar sa-
looms. but he did believe that such
Municipalities as wished to shut out
saloons should have the right to do so.
Mr.. Griggs said there is no demand
In New Jersey for a local option gov
since the settled condition
due to the bishops law.
Mr.. Griggs said the judiciary of New
Jersey did not need to be guarded from
the attack of the gentleman from Ohio,
who said in a magazine that ten years
ago he was Il brIber of voters.
Mr.. Grigss said he would rather trust
Il man who had a desire for liquor in a
saloon thar In a private house with a
bottle at his command.
'"The sentiment of this State is not
five per cent. in favor of prohibition
said Mr.. Griggs.
Test it, said one man.
You test it," was the reply. You
test it every year with your Prohibi-
ton party
A~ssemblyman Cornelius Ford, of Ho-
boken, the president of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, said that the fedora
ton had passed a resolution against
local option.
Henry Hilfers. of Newark, secretary
of the New Jersey ran of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and the Es-
sex Trades Council of Newark, also
opposed the bill.
Rev. E. A. WATSON. of Newark, spoke
against the bill.

RESTAURANT FIRE DUE
TO OVERHEATED STOVE,

An overheated stove was given as
the cause of the fire which was dis
covered in SchelIs restaurant at Z
Canal street today. The restaurant oc-
cupies the second and third stories of
the three-story brick building al that
address. the first floor being occupied
by a cafe. The fire had evidently
smoldered for some time before being
discovered and the first intimation the
cooks and walters had of danger was
when the woodwork behind the stove
suddenly burst into flame. The fire
was extinguished before it had assumed
any alarming proportions, the damage
being under 5000, most of which was
caused by the water and chemicals used
by the firemen IN their work.

OF DIVA
SUED GIRL
FOR $4,000

Nine. Schumann-Heink, the idol of
American m~usic-lovers, has worked
hard; oh, so hard, to amass a fortune
for her children. She said so herself
last January, when discussing her
proposed divorce suit against her third
husband, William Rapp, Jr.
But. perhaps because of her maternal
pride in keeping her sons well supplied
with money, her son Hans Schumann-
Heink, is facing a breach of promise
suit for $4,000. Since Hans is sup
posed to be a resident of Singac, which
is his mothers home. papers have
been filed in the United States Dis
trict Court at Trenton in behalf of
Miss Johanna Alice Former. of Dres-
den, Germany. 1t is possible that Miss
Former heard rumors of Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink's generosity to her o
In her complaint Miss Former saws
she is the mother of a girl, born in
February, 1910. She asserts that she
is not only unable to supper herself.
but that she assume obligations in
the expectation of being married. She
alleges that she is still willing to
marry Hans Schumann-Heink, but
that lie is unwilling.
The diva is still absent from her
New Jersey home on the eventful con-
cert tour which a been marked by
her own expressed intention of seek
ing a divorce and the action insti-
tuted against her son.
Mr.. Rapp asserted last January that
Han had lived on the bounty of his
mother, and that she lavished on him
and her other children a very large
amount Of money.

a small white girl adopted by him

wealth's Attorney Sutton and associate
counsel are already busy reviewing
the evidence of previous trials In the
effort to uncover some additional proof
of Fosters guilt.
The two former attempts to obtain
justice in this celebrated case result :
ed in Il disagreement. In both cases
the majority OF the jurors held out for
co1viction against a minority who
stood for acquittal In the last trial
! the poll of the Jury stood ten for con
Viction and two for acquittal. and
though the jury delibcrated long, no
agreement could be reached.
Sentiment in IIenrico is strongly
against the accused ex-preacher. US

that greeted the result of the last
