petition against the garage engaged
in a heated discussion which threat
ened to end la blows. President Ben
son was in his chair and wrapped
for order requo-ting the men to re-
frain from personal alities in the

and when frien1s attempted to inter-
fere they we're brushed aside. The
men finally walked away from each

THOUGHTS AND THOUGHTS
Written for The Evening Journal
By James I. Crozier.

'Tis dogs delight to bark and bite.
For God hath made them so.
Lions and bears TO gIowl and fight,
For 'tis their nature tc
This little verse was in my book
When | attended school,
You won't have very isr to look
To find It's yet the -ule.
II seems the nature of a man,
And also woman to
To growl and grumble all they can
No matter what you do.
Just let you try 10 do your best,
In things you think is right.
You will not have moments rest,
Unless its in the night
And so it is the whole days song,
I'm sorry to relate.
The preachers sermons are too long,
The buffers short in weight,
Our money comes so awful slow,
And many people say
II things don't change right soon they
know
Well have to feed on hay.
They have no right to tax the stuff,
We need for daily food.
That player made an awful muff,
He's not a bit OF good
That hat which Mrs. Dembey wears
II surely is a sight.
And oh how MIR. Johnson swears
When he comes home at night
We all have faults that's certain sure
They'll come out now and then,
But let us feel we should endure
The same in other men.
II Mr.. A. and Mrs. b.
Would take n firmer stand,
To notice not such things then we
Would have a happy land.

PLUNGE OPENS
LOCKED JAWS

Clarence B. Cox, leader of the North
End Band and a member Of the Bran
dywine Springs Orchestra, who has
been forced to live on liquid food for
the last month on account of his jaws
being locked. found that he could open
them while in bathing at the Scott NJ
E. Church excursion to Augustine
Pier.
Sometime ago Mr.. Cox was stricken
with quinsy. and at the same time an
abscess formed from the cutting OF
wisdom tooth. The two Affections
caused a swelling of his Jaws and
they finally became locked
Ten days ago Mr.. Cox had recovered
sufficiently to play in the band, but
he could not open his mouth more
than an inch. While in bathing in
the slightly salt water he suddenly
felt the muscles of his jaws relax
and found that he could open his
mouth.

BISHOP DENIES
VESTRY TROUBLE
DR.. White Says Head of Epis.
copaI Diocese Made No State
ment on His Call.

The Rev DIR. Elliot White, of Grace
Episcopal Church, said today that
there was no truth in the rumor that
Bishop Rhinelander. of Philadelphia,
had made a statement charging the
vestry of st. Marks Episcopal
Church, of that city, with having ex-
ceeded it's authority in choosing DR..
White to succeed Alfred Garrett
Mortimer.
II called up the bishop this morn
ing" said DR.. White "He was out
but his secretary assured me that
Bishop Rhinelander and the vestry
We're in full accord
Bishop Rhinelander had been re-
ported as having said that the vestry
had not notified him of their selection
previous to the naming of DR.. White.
although it was one of the rules of
the church that the bishop should be
notified and given thirty days in
which to communicate with the ves-
try.
The church in question is one of the
most exclusive in Philadelphia and
has been without a pastor since last
January when the pastor, Rev.
Alfred Garnett Mortimer, was UNI
frocked by the bishop for indiscre-
tons. He afterwards left the country.

The power of the judges of the

city of Newark John p. Manning,
representing the city, today obtained
a writ of certiorari from Chief JUS

to review an order made by Judge
Harry V. Osborne, of the Court of
Common Pleas, directing the Second
Criminal Court to send to him for re
vision the papers in the case of Ste
phen EaZinske, convicted of violating
a city ordinance
The order by Judge Osborne was
made under law passed in 1908 Civ

police judges, justices and recorders.

TAKES B|TUUTH|C
CASE TO COURT
Commissioner GilIen Seeks
Writ in Letting of Contracts
for Patent Pavement.

Board of Works Commissioner
Charles P. Gillen made application to
Chief Justice Gummere in the Su-
preme Court today for writ of GER
tiorari to review the action of the
Board of Works in passing resolu-
tons awarding the contracts for the
paving of Sixteenth street and Nine
tenth avenue with bitulithic. He
contended that the petitions for the
pavement did not contain the sigma
lures of the owners of a majority of
streets.
Mr.. iGllen was represented by Mi
chael J. Tansey. In his application
he set forth that since the resolutions
had been passed a number of the
signers had withdrawn their names.
especially on Nineteenth avenue.
bringing the number below the ma
jority required. On Sixteenth avenue
some Withdrawals had been made
and other owners signed a new petit
bitulithic. This. Mr. Tansey argued,
meant that the signers of the new
petition. by their act. signified the
NiAiiul a W Gil VI AliiAi ilellntG Oil AllC
previous paper for bitulithic.
In answer to Mr. Tansey, Spladins
Frazer. of Riker & Riker. for the
Standard Bitulithic Company. said
that the former was in error in
stating that the Withdrawals had
brought the signers below the num-
Der needed. When the petition was
first filed for the Nineteenth avenue
paving it had the signatures of the
owners of 2.1a0 lineal feet of prop
erty, while a majority was but l,e0J
feet, declared Mr.. Frazer. Then. ac-
cording to his declaration, with
draWals took it down to 1.215 feet,
considerable below the majority.
However. after withdrawing and
signing a petition for brick instead of
bitulithic, large number withdrew
from the brick petition and resigned
the bitulithic one.
Mr.. Gillen's record were of petit
tions filed with the Board of Works,
the counsel stated. He was informed
that Mr.. Frazer and Herbert Boggs,
city attorneys based their informa-
ton as to the signatures on the petit
tions from the papers in the city
counsel's office. To allow further
time to go into the matter an adj
iournment of the hearing TO next
Saturday was granted.
The resolutions involved were pass
ed on September 20. The Board of
Street and Water Commissioners, as
it is named in the application award
the contracts on Thursday night The
application is in reality brought in
the name of John ]. Gillen. a brother
of the commissioner, in his capacity,
as taxpayer. who will be assessed
part of the costs of the paving.
