To rise upon some fairer shore.

LAWYER GIVEN SEVERE
REPRIlMAND BY COURT
Counsel Insisted on Case Being
Heard.

Indignant at the attitude of Har-
old G. Aron. a lawyer, of 10 Exchange
place, Jersey City, who objected to
the postponement of a case in which
he was interested, Judge Worral F.
Mountain. of East Orange, gave the
attorney severe rebuke in the Or
ange District Court yesterday after
noon.
ut will be a hardship on my client
to postpone this case after keeping
US here all day. protested Mr.. Aron,
after Judge Mountain announced
that the case would be laid over.
Judge Mountain told Mr.. Aron he
did not believe there was sufficient
time to hear the testimony before
the adjournment of court, but the
lawyer insisted the case should be
heard
Interrupting Mr.. Aron with a bang
of his gavel, Judge Mountain heated
ly remarked: II don't know whether
you are New York or a New Jer-
sey lawyer, but such criticism of a
court is not tolerated in this state
and do not propose to take it,"
Even these remarks did not seem to
phase Mr., Aron. as ne continued his
efforts to have the case heard. Turn
ing away from Mr.. Aron, Judge
Mountain shouted that his remarks
were final.
The lawyer walked away as Court
Constable Albert Robinson jumped
from his seat and hurried toward the

WAsHIHGTON, July II.

Higgins will be appointed post
master at Bloomfield. l will not per-
nit Judge Mylod or anybody else to
inject fractional differences into a fight
Of this kind. recognize no factional
differences among Democrats in my
district. Mr.. Higgins is young man
of fine character and ability and when
his appointment is ratified and he
assumes office ! know that his con-
duct of the office will be such as to
rebound to his own credit and to the
credit of the entire community"
Congressman Eugene F. Kinkead
dictated the above statement last
night in answer to the charges OF
judge James F. Mylod that the ap-
pointment of Edward F. Higgins
would be a recognition of anti Wilson
influences in Essex county. Kinkead
was mad all the way through over
the attempt to defeat his candidate
by the injection of factional charges.
He also denounced as baseless the
newspaper stories that the President
had decided to turn him down and
ignore his recommendation for the
Bloomfield posteffiee.
Members of the Wilson Democratic
League of Essex County have been
confident for several weeks that they
had succeeded in shelving Higgins and
that either James w Crisp or George
Idle would be named for the place.
