FOUR AT BAR TO
PLEAD TO MURDER
First QuadrupIe Arraignment
for Capital Crime in Essex
Courts, Attaches Say.

For the first time in the history
of Essex county courts, If the memory
of the oldest attaches serve them
correctly, four men were called on,
one after the other, today to plead
to indictments charging them with
murder. The pleas, according to law,
were not guilty in each instance.
The men were arraigend in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer before
Judge Martin. Two of the four men.
John Dolan ano Peter Deskowich,
were charged with wife murder.
Adolph Kabaszewski is charged with
the murder of his woman companion,
while Baldassare Sarauso is charged
with the killing of Stefano Crisofulli.
Dolan, a large man, was the first
one to be arraigned. and through his
counsel. John A. Bernhard. he en-
tered a plea of not guilty. Dolan, on
March % last. cut his wife's throat
following a quarrel over a boarder
at their home, SO Bruen street. Dolan
also received a small stab wound in
the throat, which he said was in
flicted by his wife.
most brutal, and the prisoner as he
pleaded today did not seem to be the
sort of man to be guilty of such q
heinous offense. He is young, rather
good-looking and has curly brown
hair. On March Is last he quarreled
with his wife in their home in Nut
ley, and during the quarrel the hus-
band is alleged to have thrown the
contents of a gasoline can over his
wife and then touched a match to
the woman's dress.
He then fled from the house, leav-
ing his wife a blazing pillar of fire.
She was to terribly burned that she
died in a short time.
Adolph Kabaszewski is charged
with shooting Mary Berlinski at 56
Charlton street, April 10 last. Kabas-
zewski was infatuated with the wo-
man but she had grown tired of him
and had ordered him not to call on
her any more. He tried to commit
suicide after killing the woman.
The last man to be arraigned was
Baldassare Sarauso, who, 1t Is al
legged, shot and killed a fellow coun-
tryman, Stefano Crisofulli, during a
quarrel in a River street saloon on
February l last Sarauso was not
caught at the time of the shooting
but later was suspected of the crime
and arrested. He denies the shoot
Ing but it is alleged that the police
have discriminating evidence.
Judge Martin did not set dates for
trials today, allowing the cases to go
until the opening of the September
term of court.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, June 27.-That
the stars and Bars as well as the
stars and Stripes will appear at the
great camp of veterans during the
anniversary celebration was indicated
today by an announcement from the
officers of the anniversary commits
sion that there is nothing to prevent
the wearers of the gray from bring
ing along their battle flags" At the
same time, however, 1t was said that
the flag of the Confederacy would
not be used in any official decorations
over which the commission has con-
troll. Residents of Gettysburg and
Union veterans already here are ex-
tending a royal welcome to all Con-
federate veterans.
The town itself never has been so
gaily decorated. The Stars and Bars
appear at number of places, while
the use of both the blue and the
gray is a favorite method Of deco
ration at many buildings. Large
pictures of both Union and Confed-
crate generals are much in evidence.
The town is gay with martial music.
Many of the veterans have brought
their flies, drums and bugles and the
calls Of war days are sounded
through the streets, in some instances
by the very men who did the same
thing during the days of the Gettys-
burg campaign half century ago.
Finishing touches were put on the
camp today. Equipment was dis
tributed to the 5000 tents, all of
which are now up and everything Is
in readiness for the $4,000 old soldiers
expected to attend the celebration
next week.
Care for the Veterans.
I'VE are thoroughly prepared and
have the entire situation well in
hand" declared Major Normoyle, in
command at the camp. Every old
soldier will find things in readiness
for him when he comes here. He
will be met at the train and shown
the location of his tent. If he is not
able to carry his baggage someone
will be there to do It for him. He
will not have to do a stroke of work,
not even fill the water buckets in his
tent"
Each of the four large sections
composing the camp will be under
the direct supervision of a company

PUBLIC SERVICE
CALLED FOOLISH
President McCarter Thus Dubs
Corporation for Clay Street
Bridge Offer.

That the Public Service Railway
Company had made "a very foolish
proposition in 1906. when 1t agreed
to pay $4,000 for the right to lay
| tracks across the Clay street bridge,
was the statement made by Thomas
n. McCarter, president of that COM
pany, before the Board of Public
Utilities Commissioners at hearing
today in the Court House.
The hearing was called for the pur-
pose of determining the amount the
company should pay for its rights on
the bridge At the last session of
the Legislature this power was vested
in the hands of the Public Utilities
Board.
Mr.. McCarter, on direct examina-
ton, by Frank Bergen. counsel for
the company, told how the company
had agreed to pay $4,000 as a sort of
a compromise. Originally $4,000 had
been asked, Mr.. McCarter declared.
There had been considerable con-
troversy between the Boards Of Free
holders of Essex and Hudson and the
controversy had had a reflex action
on the company.
Mr.. McCarter added that he had
made the proposition not knowing at
the time that 1t was only necessary
to pay such a sum as would be suf-
ficient to recompense the munlcipali-
ties involved for any increased repairs
on the bridge due to the laying of
tracks and the trolley traffic.
Il have no hesitation in saying that
we would not make such PROPOSE
ton again. For my part don't care
rap whether we run our cars over
Clay street or not" said Mr.. Nc
Carter. ''In fact we are only doing
SO to accommodate the people In that
immediate vicinity"
Noonan Hints at BraInstorm.
Then you admit that through a
legal and managerial brain-storm
through ignorance of the law you
entered into the agreement, Mr.. Nc
Carter" asked Joseph P. Noonan,
examination.
II say 1t was a municipal hold-up,
Mr.. Noonan; nothing more or less"
was Mr.. McCarter's rejoinder.
Asked by Mr.. Noonan whether the
increased traffic on the bridge was
not worth while, Mr. McCarter replied
that the Bridge street bridge was
sufficient to take care of the traffic
and that the company was merely
using the Clay street bridge for the
convenience of the public. In reply
to another question of Mr.. Noonan's,
the witness declared he thought 1t
only reasonable that the company
should contribute something for their
privileges, but reiterated his state
ment that the agreement entered into
was "farcial and absurd"
Mr.. McCarter, in reply to a question
of County Counsel Benjamin F. Jones,
Of Essex county, asserted that he be-
lieved 1t fair that the company should
pay the cost of all work imposed on
the counties by the repairing Of the
bridges, even to the employment of
extra men needed for the increased
work.
George H Mower, life insurance
mathematician In the employ Of the
Prudential Life Insurance Company.
was called as a witness by Mr.. Ber-
gen. His testimony was mostly of
technical nature.

In HIS RESIGNATION

The resignation of Patrolman
Thomas ]. D. Smith, who has been
absent from duty for five days with
out leave, was handed to Captain
Peter ]. Christie. of the Third Pre-
cinct, today by the patrolman.

Commissioners. Smith was auto
matically under suspension when he
failed to report for duty last night,
the fifth consecutive day he had been

He was to have appeared in the
First Criminal Court on Thursday to

by his wife. Domestic troubles is be-
lieved to have led to his resignation

ton to their needs.
Many of the camp kitchens were
put IN working order today and
smoke could be seen rising all over

Remembers His Nurse.
One of the latest arrivals is the
Rev. w. F. Hubbard, of Los Angeles,
Cal, who was severely wounded at
the battle of Gettysburg, and who
made the trip across the continent to
attend the anniversary. One of his
missions in coming. he said, was to
find and express his appreciation to
the nurse. who, with other women
of the town. did so much after the
hattie to alleviate his suffering and
that of his wounded comrades.
f. A. Easton, of the Sixth New
York Cavalry, arrived yesterday to
complete arrangements for his regi-
mental reunion, which will be held
on July l on the field of the first
days fight. Easton is endeavoring
to find a number of Gettysburg wom-
en-, who, as school children, scattered
flowers in the paths of Buford's
cavalry and sang patriotic songs as
they entered the town June 80, 1868.
A dozen or more Of them are said to
be still living and if they can be
found will be asked to sing the same
songs again at the reunion.

opposed his policies and went to po-
litical disgrace in trying to destroy
senators because they would not sup
port his policies.
president Wilson is attempting to
inaugurate the system that James
James Monroe put into effect with
success in the era of good feeling in
1929, and seeks to emulate the course
fof George Washington in recognizing
no party organization as having any
right to urge it's existence as a mere
agency of political offices. James
Buchanan was on trial under the as
saults of Douglas to test whether the
doctrine of recitation upon senators
could succeed. 1t failed.
president Wilson declines to allow
his personality to be put on trial. but
under exactly similar conditions as
surrounded Buchanan on the slavery
and admission of new States issues,
President Wilson. with his currency
and tariff policies, is putting the
country to test"

hangs here head and her general
manner"
The prosecutor retorted with the
statement that Miss Alice Nelson, the
twin of Miss Edith Nelson, hung her
head in the same manner and her
characteristics were identical with
those of her sister.
II now demand that the court di-
rect the appointment of two physi-
clans to act professionally in this
matter" he said. IF their testimony
supports that given by this witness
then l will agree to verdict of ac-
quittal in this case. In other words

once"
Mr.. Voorhees,, formerly Governor Of
New Jersey, and William c. Geb-
hardt, clerk of the Supreme Court,
both protested against this course,
and they were supported by the
Judge, who declined to make the order
requested by the prosecutor. The de-
Tense agreed to have the twin, Miss
Alice Nelson, in court today, so that
ktheir physical resemblance may be

the accused girl to determine the
truth or falsity of the charge made

If you choose to call 1t so. How about the

Try to make Sunday stand OUT as day
of special privilege, different from the other
days of the week Begin with your little
children Make the day different from the
others and let the possessions they handle
then have some connection with the re-
ligious life, directly or indirectly.
Give yourself to the children on Sunday
you do not on other days. Let them
have time with you in which you tell them
stories. or read to them. or sing to them.
or walk with them. Make them look on 1t
as day of festivity. AS they grow up
encourage them to bring their friends to
the house and to feel that it is home day
and their day peculiarly. All this need not
interfere with church and Sunday school.
and it need not detract in the least from
the sacred character of Sunday. Only
avoid making this last a nuisance to the
children or to your husband. Never let
any one under your influence feel the day
is one to be dslilaed and dreaded. as l
have known 1t to be in some homes.
To get good idea of what Sunday ought
not to be we have only to observe our
streets on pleasant Sunday afternoons.
Crowded with promenaders, out not only
for the air and the exercise but to see and
be seen. =" No harm in that" you may say.
and in a way you are right. These walkers
are taking their outing on the only day
in the week when they can get it. and when
1 see husbands and wives, parents and
children in the procession 1t does my heart
good But too often the clusters of un-
guarded and unguded children, of reckless
boys and girls, make up the bulk of the
walkers What sort of a Sunday are they
having? Where are the parents who should
be giving them some other notion of Sun
day except chance for frolc and flirta-
ton? Are any of your young people put
ing in their day in such throng and such
pursuits? If so, don't you think it is about
time you gave some pretty serious thought
to what Sunday means in your household?

on this matter. to be told what they make
of Sunday. how they spend it, If they and
their children love it, or if it is tiresome

He says the boys tease him and the girls

manage and would not go to school much or

My boys teachers tell me he is entire
sly too sensitive. and sensitive children
usually become selfish men and women,
and it's my place to correct him, and the
small amount of hazing done in the pub
rlic schools doesn't amount to anything. He
was amiable and obedient as a small child,
but of late l notice selfshness. Do you
think haZing would ruin a child's dlspo-
'siton?
One thing that struck me as queer about
him was he never took to the baby who
came to us two years ago He was em-
ployed during the summer vacations at a
candy store and got good wages for a boy,
but he never brought the baby or me box
of candy or anything. My other boys adored
the baby. and when she died this summer
they were as heartbroken as 1 was while
he was quite Indifferent and even chided
me for grieving for one who, if she had
