they are since President Wilson,

succeeded in having the seven new
incorporation laws placed on the sta

Before the passage OF these laws
there were daily filed with the
County Clerk of Hudson from eight
to ten Incorporation papers OF cor

designated as being In Jersey City or

there have been filed with County

which have been social or political

JERSEY CITY, N. J., April 10
The diverse suit of Edward Dudley,
the wealthy Camden lawyer and his
wife, Mrs. Marie Muloell Dudley, Of
New York and Philadelphia, took a
new. sensational turn at yesterdays
session before yice-Chancellor Ste
venson here when Mrs. Dudley's law
yers suddenly produced a letter in
Dudley's handwriting, in an endeavor
to prove that he had spirited away a
witness for the defense. Martin
conboy and James D.. Carpenter ir..
declare that the letter was sent TO
George Schaefer, Dudley's former
chauffeur, to keep him in California,
whittier ne was sent SO IL is alleged,
to keep him from testifying in Mrs.
Dudley's behalf.
Five weeks ago Schaefer came to
Carpenters Office and told of joy
rides Dudley had with Mrs. Eliza
beth Batelle Vanderpoel, a million
aire Washington divorcee who has
been named as correspondent by Mrs.
Dudley, so it Is claimed. On March
il Schaefer was subpoenaed to tes-
tify in Jersey City on Mrs. Dudley s
behalf. Two days later he disap-
peared Schaefer, so Mrs. Dudley's
lawyers say, told that he was sent
West by Dudley to get him out of
the way. Dudley denies this, and
to explain everything away says that
he was persuaded to loan Schaefer
money so that he, Schaefer, might
go to the Pacific Coast TO a new po-
sition.
According to an affidavit read by
Carpenter Schaefer told him that he
worked for Dudley from March 49,
1912, to February IL last. when he was
released, Dudley promising to help
him secure another position. Schaefer
told of how during March and April
1912, Dudley spent every weekend at
Atlantic City with Mrs. Vanderpoel.
Dudley went down on Saturday after
