SHOW NEED FOR
A COURT HOUSE

amount to much. He told how case
would probably require the juror to
be kept at New Brunswick until af-
ter dark or some times all night. No
matter how late the jury was In
bringing in the verdict the Juryman
would always be confronted with that
over -an-bour ride back home, or stay
in New Brunswick and pay big
hotel bill.
Mr.. Nielsen thought that the estab-
lishment of a branch court house
here would take away the drudgery
Of jury service, and that when cit
izen is. called 1t would not be SO OBJ
noxious to him to come to court.
Coroner James J. Flynn, also adds
his disapproval Of the present court
house. Last fall he was juror for
two months or more, and he says
that it was unfair the way he had to
neglect his business In going to and
from the court. He did not think
It was so bad to do Jury duty, but
the long distance between this place
and the court he thought required
too much unnecessary waste Of time.
Oftentimes, he stated, he would go
to court, and after answering the
roll call, sit In the house nearly all
day without having anything to do.
The coroner gave one instance
when he was at New Brunswick wait
Ing to be called on q Jury. He re-
ceived q telephone message that
someone had been found dead In
Perth Amboy. 1t took him about
half an hour to reach the scene, hav-
ing to hire an automobile to make
the trip In that short time. He said
that during the term he averaged at
tending the court about four days
each week. Mr.. Flynn is very en-
thusiastic over the project OF getting
the branch court house here. ut

Admirable Record of Former Second
Lieutenant In Spanish American
War as Expert In Military Discipline.
Won Over Thirteen Competitors In
Examination For Naval Academy.
Prairie View. Tex.-Captain George
w Austin, military expert and disci-
plinarian. who did more than any other
individual to develop the high stand,
ard Of military discipline among the
boys at Tuskegee institute, is prosecut-
ing the same work at the Prairie View
State Normal college here with vigor.
Captain Austin came to Prairie View
at the beginning of the school term
and brought with him all the essentials
necessary to place the discipline of the
institution upon firm basis. -..,,-
Mr. Austin is in every way mill
| tary expert. He was born and reared
In Cincinnati and received his educa-
ton in that city's schools. In 1897 he
| was appointed competitor by Gen
| eral w. B. Shattuc, congressman from
the First Ohio district, in the entrance
examination for the Naval academy.
DR.. f. B. Dyer, now supervisor of the
public schools of Boston, was chief ex-
aminer and declared young Austin to
have won over thirteen other contest
ants, he being the only Afro American
among them. Captain Austin was de-
| -
the ground that he was then forty-ive
days over the age limit of twenty
years.
| In 1898 General Shattuc had Austin
appointed second lieutenant by Presi-
dent McKialey' in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. He was engaged in teaching
in Kentucky when he was recommend
ed for second lieutenant in the Philip
pines by Governor Bushnell of Ohio.
Upon recommendations from Mr..
Washington, DR.. Dyer and others Sen
ators Foraker and Burton of Ohio urg
ed Mr.. Austin's appointment as lieu
tenant in the Philippine scouts.
General Bell, then chief of staff, put
| the matter up to President Taft, with
!, the sole objection that Mr. Austin was
married and that the president must
waive that rule If the appointment was
made. OF course the rule was not
waived, but all this shows that Cap
tain Austin possesses remarkable abil-
ity in his special Objectionable enforce
ment of military discipline where large
numbers Of young men are congre-
gated.
In bringing about manly department
with due respect for ones superiors
and in placing boys and men upon
their honor as well as merit no one
will gainsay the advantages Of mill
tary discipline. Prairie View has new
er done a wiser thing than institute
such discipline. and in Captain Austin
the institution has a man who is with
out an equal in any of our schools In
his line.
Flattering letters of recommends
tion from government and army ofIi
cials have been sent to the school con
corning Captain Austin's ability as an
Instructor of military tactics. but the
record which he made at Tuskegee
and the remarkable work which he
has done at this big school in Texas
in n short time are the best evidence OF
his worth as instructor and leader OF
wide experience.
