WANT Accounting
OF Church FUNDS
Trustee Backus, of First Pres.
byterian, of Caldwell, Sum-
moned Into Court.

Through an order signed by Vice
Chancellor Howell, Edmund B.
Rackus. of Caldwell, a trustee of the
First Presbyterian Church there, will
be brought into court to show cause
why he should not give an accounting
of church funds, with which he was
entrusted. Tho fund amounts to
$40, 900.
The action is brought by the church,
whose pulpit was occupied for a pc
Rod by the father of the late Grover
Cleveland, former President, to ascer-
tain just where Backus has placed the
money he took over after the sale of
some church land last August, and on
the application of Goodell & Goodell
Vice Chancellor Howell signed the
writ summoning Backus TO court on
March rs. Up to the present time.
Backus has refused to tell what dis
position he made of the money, it is
alleged.
II is known that the $4,000 was
placed in the Caldwell National Bank
soon after the sale was made The
deposit was made on August 10, soon
after Baekus received the check ffom
the Caldwell Board of Education, to
whom the land was sold. Since them
it is declared, Backus transferred
part of the account from the National
to the Citizens Bank. His balance,
in the latter institution, according to
Cyrus b. Crane. president of the bank
and also a trustee of the church, is a
little over 81, 400. The National Bank
has refused inquirers Information as
to whether or not Backus has part of
the $4,000 on deposit there, it is de-
CARED
Backus's connection with the prop
erty dates back to 1878, when the
congregation, by a two-thirds VOTE
empowered the trustees to dispose Of
the land to those who should pay off
the church debt. Almost all those to
whom the property was sold have
since ascribed their interest in the
lands to the church.
When the parcel was sold to the
Board of Education last August, it
was disposed of by Backus and Amos
G. Lockwood, the only surviving
trustees of the 1878 commission.
Lockwood has since died.

SENATOR CUMMINS GIVES
WARNING TO REPUBLICANS
Declares Organization Should
Be Made Representative.

DIES MONIES, Ia, March 15.-
Senator Albert b. Cummins. in an
address before the Grant Club here
last night, declared it to be his de-
liEerate judgment that the door of
opportunity lis now swinging wide
for the Republican party and that If
we do not enter, our temporary de-
feat may become final and our or
ganization disappear from the politi-
cal world"
After saying that the Republican
party in it's organization had ceased
to be representative. and citing the
preponderance of Southern delegates
in the Chicago convention as proof
Of his statement. the senator urged
the Importance of a national eonven-
ton before 1916 to formulate new
rules for the party.
at must be apparent to every
thinking man that such injustice
could not endure, and that whenever
the Republicans in such States as
Iowa saw their will and purpose
overthrow by the oVer-represented
States a rebellion would follow" he
said. ITO me the only wonder is that
we have submitted so long.
How can we invite the men who
rebelled against the outcome of the
Chicago convention again to bear the
Republican banner so long as we
acknowledge that a handful of Re-
puhlicans in certain States can
neutrallze the will and purpose of
that great army of Republicans who
made the party what it was, and can
make it so again if they be given a
chance to do it.
I'VE ought not to hesitate for q
moment in the national convention
which should be speedily called. We
ought to declare in clear and UNI
equivocal terms that when delegates
are elected according TO law they
should be accepted without question
or dispute"

This is not the fault of medical
science; it is the fault of the people
themselves. The new mode OF living
has brought about nervous debility,
the twentieth century ailment.
People flee in horror from such
scourges as cholera, smallpox, yellow
FEVER and other similar complaints
because the effect is so speedy and
SO apparent; but they have no fear
at all of an ailnent like nervous de-
bility because the i'll effects are not
SO apparent and its dangerous action
is slower. AS a matter of fact, nerv-
Gus debility is far more dangerous
than any of the diseases above mem
toned.
iona Vita and a similar tonic that
is used in Europe are the only medi-
eines that have been really successful
IN combating nervous debility, Many
thousands of people are daily testify.
ing that they have been relieved by
iona Vita
Some of the symptoms of nervous
debility are:-poor appetite: head :
aches; and lack of vigor and ambi-
ton.
This tonic is handled by the e. r.
Petty Drug Co. in Newark.

at 1870 p. m. They got together at

to start at o'clock. It did start
at 4:45.
It's too bad to take the palm for

William Culber, a commission deal
er at so Commerce street, will make
wild dash for the Court House the
next time he gets a subpoena to APP
pear as a witness. Last Monday he
was wanted as a witness in the Su-
preme Court. Instead of appearing
and bringing his books with him, as
requested, he sent his bookkeeper
with a message that he was busy
and that he didn't think the court
had any right to see his books.
Judge Nelson y. DUNCAN at once
issued a bench warrant for his ar
rest for contempt of court, and when
Culber appeared before him fined
him SIS
Gee" remarked Culber, as he
dove down into his jeans for money
to pay the fine, they wouldn't do
much more than that to you If you
murdered a man, would they?"
81 suppose it is part of ones civic
duty to serve as a juryman, re-
marked a member of the panel, as
with number of others he attended
in the corridor the other day, waiting
to be called on for service.
But" he continued, II wonder if
its a part of your civic duty to be
forced to stand all day on stone
floor without any chance to sit
DOWN."
None of the other jurymen could
answer his question.
AS matter of fact, it is hard
ship on the jurymen to have no place
to idle away their time at the Court
House except in the corridors. At
the most, only forty-eight men of
the 125 constituting the petit panel
can be used at one time. There Is
not a place in the building where the
other seventy-seven can go except
the corridors and there are no seats
there. The judges, owing to the poor
ventilation of the building, will not
allow jurors not serving to sit in the
courtroom. 1t is the corridors for
them, and they dare not even go
outside and sit on the seats around
the Lincoln statue, as they are liable
TO be called to serve at any minute.

William Henry Overton, the negro
tried and convicted this week of the
murder of his wife, Cora B. Overton,
on June % last, had everybody at the
Court House guessing as to whether
he was sane or not. All day long
during Guesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, while his trial was In
progress, there were arguments in
progress between the court attaches,
idle jurymen and lawyers, who had
observed him, as to whether he was
shamming or not.
The writer. who has had many OPP
portunities to watch Overton closely,
believes the man was shamming in
sanity. The man is rather well edu-
Gated for a Southern negro, and has
good command of language. He Is
the type of negro that is q strong
believer in voodooism, and so much
has he thought about his crime since
it's commission that he undoubtedly
really believes now that spell
was put on him by another negro, as
he claims, and it was this that
caused him to murder his wife and
4-months-old boy child.
Overton is the type of mentality
that such an idea would become an
obsession, but an obsession of that
kind is far from insanity And in
any event OVerton himself claims
that he was "all right in his head
until he was voodooed a few hours
before the crime was committed.
"Voodooism" is not insanity, not by
of tho matter
called brain.
It's a shame, but the Erie railroad
seems doomed to lose something that
has been connected with that road
since time almost immemorial. Inc
Erie like all other railroads, has a
schedule of time for it's trains, and 1t
is a notorious fact that the Erie
trains never run anywhere near their
schedule time.
But the Essex County Board of
Freeholders have got the Erie beaten
n hundred city blocks. The Erie
does generally manage to keep with
in minutes at least of its schedule
time. The freeholders have a nicely
printed little booklet. a schedule of
the meeting time of the board and
of the different committees.
Hours. much less minutes, dont
make any difference to the freehold

on schedule sample OF one day
