SAILOR SEEKS WIFE, WHO
LEFT WHILE HE WAS AWAY

Victor Engstrand, a sailor in the
United States navy, located at Phila-
delphia, was in Bloomfield today,
looking for his wife, who was Miss
Kathryn Greishaeber, stepdaughter
of Charles Grieshaeber, who con-
ducts large truck farm in Belleville
avenue, Bloomfield
Engstrand told Grieshaeber that
while he was absent from his home
in Philadelphia for brief period his
wife had disposed of the furniture in
the house and had gone, without leav-
ing word where she intended going.
There was but one article left in the
apartments they had occupied, and
that was a motto framed upon the
wall bearing the inscription There
is no place like home, sweet home" :
The courtship of the pair was brief,
and they were married but a month
ago. Her stepfather at the time of
her marriage presented her with a
piano and $500 in cash.

tient magistrate on the other side.
Satisfied. he let himself down to the
floor again. In a minute shrill little
piping voice came upwards:

Before Mrs. Pastorel left. she set
forth her other reasons for wanting
the wagon removed. One was that
the rattle of the bottles wakes the
baby and draws a gang of bad boys
around her house. Other reasons
were that the horse chews around
the tree and makes himself generally
obnoxious. She has to run to the
drug store for medicine for "Jim's

WATER WAGON AT DOOR
WHETS HER SONS THIRST

A water wagon stands in front of
Mrs. Pastorel's house every day.
There is no good reason why the
wagen should grace the street in front
of her domicile, and to Mrs. Pastorers
mind there are many reasons why 1t
should make itself scare in the
neighborhood.
Mrs. Pastorel lives in Delaney
street near Van Buren,. The daily ap-
pearance of the wagon grated on her
nerves, and today she consulted Judge
Hahn in the Third Precinct Court.

COUNCIL FACES
FIGHT FOR FUNDS
Department Heads Expected to
Wage Money War Before Fla
nance Committee Tonight.

Now the fight is on. The finance
committee of the Common Council
by its action in cutting the appro-
priation asked by practically every
city department, as shown by the
tentative tax levy, has stirred up a.
lively rumpus.
Tonight's session of the committee,
when the levy will be formally
adopted, will De anything but love

meeting room will be able to accom-
modate the bunch of "kickers" and

1t was rumored about the City Hall
today that at least two of the COM
missioners had declared emphaticallv
that If the finance committee insisted
upon the cuts being made their activi-
ties would be curtailed to such an
extent that there would be no need
of a Fairgrounds Board, and they.
would resign. Neither of the two
commissioners mentioned could be
located to verify the statement.
Commissioner B. M. Stanley, jr..
was the guiding light in the prepara-
ton of the Fairgrounds budget and.
as he declared when he presented it
to his colleagues, he cut down every
item to the lowest possible amount.
Secretary J. Leonard Mason con-
ferred with Acting Mayor John Fl.
Donnelly on the question shortly
after noon today. 1t is understood
that it was pointed out to him that
there was no need for worry, as the
contingent fund will be available If
the appropriations granted are not
sufficient. This however. will be
sort of gamble, as most of the other
departments will go along with the
same move in mind, and 1t is doubtful

SHOOTING AT MAN
Declares That He Tried To Per-

shotgun with the intent to kill Angelo

Dress was held in $500 bail to await
the action of the grand jury by Judge
Hahn in the Third Precinct Court to-
day.
Although an attempt had been made
to discharge both barrels, 1t is all

going wild. The other shell showed
marks of having been struck by the
hammer. The shooting followed a
series of quarrels at the house, where
Mrs. Cantalope lived with her hus-
band and kept a store in the base

lived upstairs with his wife and three
sons.
According to Balo, box of matches

FIELDER SAYS He
NEED NOT RESIGN
Believes Cant Head State and
Ticket" Law Ineffective
With Him.
IFrom a stan Correspondence

TRENTON, N. j.. July 9.-Gov-
ernor Fielder, it was said today, may
resign his position If he receives the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
Such action on his part, should 1t be
taken, would be owing to the consti-
tutional provision in this State which
makes it impossible for Governor to
succeed himself.
1t is Governor Fielders personal
opinion that the constitution really
intends to provide that a Governor
elected by popular vote cannot be re-
elected and that 1t does not affect his
status. since he was merely chosen to
fill the unexpired term when President
Wilson left the State House to be-
come President.
Governor Fielder in reply to inquiry
at Wildwood, N. j., today as to
whether he expects to resign as acting
governor to become a candidate, said
that he had not considered the mat
ter seriously, that he did not believe
by law that he would be required to
resign and that there is ample time
TO consider and decide the question.
The constitution expressly prohibits
a governor from succeeding himself.
The governors friends, however,
argue that this does not apply to him,
as he is the president of the Senate,
and by virtue of his office, the acting
governor On this contention they say,
the constitutional prohibition applies
only to a governor who has been
elected and then tries to succeed him
self at the following election.
Those close to Governor Fielder say
he will not resign before the coming
campaign. He will. 1t is said, follow
the example laid down by President
Wilson, who remained New jerseys
governor up until three days before
he assumed the presidency of the
United States.
A situation similar to the one now
before Governor Fielder was when
Foster M. Voorhees, succeeded John
w. Griggs as acting governor in 1898.
Governor Voorhees, did. however, re-
sign few days before the election
and was succeeded by Speaker of the
Assembly Watkins. Mr.. Voorhees, was
then elected for full term.

IFrom a stan Correspondence

TRENTON, N. J., July 9.-Comply-
ing with the petition of the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company, under
authorization of an act passed by
the last session of the Legislature.
Chancellor Walker today named the
appraisers for the requirement of the
capital stock of the Prudential, to the
end that the company may be
changed from stock into mutual
concern.
The chancellor named as appraisers
former United States Senator James
Smith, jr., former Governor John
Franklin Fort and former Post
master-General William M. Johnson
The act also provides that the
chancellor appoint counsel to repre-
sent the interests of the policy
holders. Complying with this par
tcular section. the chancellor named
former Governor John w. Griggs and
Merritt Lane. of Jersey City.
The application for the appointment
of appraisers by the Prudential was
opposed by a certain number of
stockholders, and In making the an
nouncement of the appointments to-
day Chancellor Walker filed the fol-
lowing memorandum with the court:
THE Prudential Insurance Com
pany of America has filed its petit
tion praying for the appointment of
two or more disinterested persons to
appraise the value of Its capital
stock In accordance with the provis-
ions of an act of the Legislature. en-
titled An act to permit any stock

thereof for the benefit of its policy

Certain of the stockholders object.
ed that the act under which the pc.
tition was filed is unconstitutiona
and the court lacks power and Juris.
diction in the premises. My exami.
nation of the matter has convinced
me to the contrary. and l hold thai
| the act is constitutional and the cour
is clothed with jurisdiction. This
view leads me to the appointment oi

authorizes the appointment of coun

HUSBANDS LOVE
OF LEISURE LIFE
CAUSES DIVORCE
Mrs. Marvin Successfully Adj
vances Grounds for Annul-
ment OF Her Marriage.

Special Master Nicholas w. Bind
sell has just filed a report in Chan
Gerry recommending divorce for Mrs.
Annie Higbie Marvin, of SOC Summer
avenue, and member of the promi-
nent Higbie family of this city. be-
cause, in his opinion, her husband is
too fond Of life of leisure.
Her husband, William Force Mar
win. son of former Alderman Marvin,
of this city, is living at the home Of
his mother in Flanders, Morris coun-
ty, where he has been since he left
his wife in October, 1909. Mrs. Mar
vim brought her suit on the grounds
of desertion and Marvin made no re-
ply to the action.
800 Month from Relative.
She says that in the sixteen years
of their married life, her husband
never properly supported her. He
was too fond of life about town and
what little money he did earn he
spent for drink, she declares. Mr..
Marvin's income came from her sis
ter, Mrs. Harriet M. Butler, wealthy
Boston woman, who for three years
sent her 500 a month, while Marvin
was earning different sums that
ranged from SIS to $35 a week and
spending it for liquor.
In August, 1909, Marvin lost his
position and simultaneously he re-
ceived letter from his wealthy Bos-
ton sister-in-law threatening to cut
off his wife's income. Upon the re-
ceipt of a second like letter an
nouncing that Mrs. Butler was COM
ing here to talk things over with
him, Marvin packed a suit case and
left for Flanders, where he has since
remained, despite the entreaties of
his wife and two children, William
Force Marvin, jr., and Harte Higbie
Marvin. The former is II years old
and the latter, a girl. is 16. They
visited him at Flanders shortly after
he left his wife, and asked him to re-
turn to their mother. but he would
give them no answer.
Were Wed at Park Church.
Mrs. Marvin was married on Oc-
tODeI lSs 1910, ny tHc idlo iNcNs ~ .
Clement French, pastor of the Park
Presbyterian Church. Six years after
her marriage she received 1000 from
her fathers estate and with $4,000 of
1t bought the house at 506 Summer
avenue. where she and her husband
resided and where she still lives. The
other $4,000. she says, went for house,
hold expenses and pocket money for
her husband.
Mr.. Bindseil was convinced by the
testimony of Mrs. Marvin and her
sister that Marvin was too fond of a
life of ease and he accordingly recon-
mended the divorce George M.
Keasbey represented Mrs. Marvin.
The two children are now in her GUS
tody. The alimony will be the sub
ject of separate hearing.
Marvin is still living in Flanders.
His father died there recently after
a prominent career in Republican
politics.

COLBY DECLINES
TO DEBATE WITH
BULL MOOSE RIVAL
Replies to Challenge of Os-
borne for Companion Tour
of State.
CONTENT TO LET PEOPLE
DECIDE AT PRIMARIES
Will Accept Later, However, if
Opponent Feels He Has Been
Denied Right.

In letter to Edmund B. Osborne
today former Senator Everett Colby
declines his proposition to tour the
State in a companion campaign for
the Progressive gubernatorial NOM
ination. jointly debating the differ
ences in their platforms from the
same stage.
Mr. Colby takes the stand that his
seven years of active campaigning
for the Assembly and Senate have
shown his qualifications to the State
and that it is unnecessary for him
to do it all over again in a pre-pri-
mary campaign now. His letter to
Mr. Osborne is as. follows:
my dear Mr.. Osborne:
II have your letter of the Sth inst,
inviting me to campaign the State
with you, to address all meetings
Jointly and to share the necessary
expense. l respectfully decline for
the following reasons:
First, because l do not propose
to make canvass for the nomina-
ton. After seven years of active
campaigning, Progressives of the
State have sufficient knowledge of
my qualifications and shortcomings
to pass upon my fitness for party
leadership. and after announcing my
platform | shall leave the choice to
them.
Second because the Progressive
State committee, representing the
Progressive voters of the State, at its
recent meeting held in Asbury Park
went on record by a large majority
as being opposed to such plan Of
mpaign.
Third, because my experience in
= blic debate with political opponents
has convinced me that they do not
MAX clear exposition of ideas
and are of little value in
for opinion.
cause theer is not suf-
nee in the fundamental
pl tween us to warrant such
Al tour as you propose, and
It ire to become involved in
pur 4sonal wrangle.
''If toward the close of the cam
paign, however, it appears that you
have been denied a right to which
you are entitled and that there is a
real principle to discuss. will gladly
hold a debate with you anywhere you
wish and under any conditions you
may propose. Yours very truly,
"EVERETT COLBY"
Mr.. Colby does not intend to make
an active pre-primary campaign, He
said today that he will do nothing
after he announces his platform at
public meeting on July "a, relying on
the knowledge that people of the
State have of him from his previous
campaigns. He will, however, speak
at dinners or meetings at which he
Is asked to speak.
"Of course, I will campaign after
the primaries If I get the nomina-
tion," Mr. Colby said "And I will
put all the energy that I have into
IT."
Mr.. Osborne would make no COM
ment on Mr. Colby's letter this af-
ternoon, preferring to wait until he
had time to think it over.
