Centuries of Peace Are
Predicted for Canada and
u. S. at New York Meeting

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Distinguished
representatives of Great Britain and
the United States prophesied last
night at the ninth annual banquet of
the Canadian Club, in the Plaza, that
the peace that has existed between
the two nations for the last century
would continue for many more.
As each speaker gave vent to these
sentiments the three hundred men and
women present applauded until the
limp flags of Canada and the United
States that ''stood embracing each
other" as the Canadian postmaster
general put II, In front of each diner,
fluttered, and the tables shook from
the stamping of six hundred feet.
The Hon. George e. Foster, minister
of trade and commerce and acting
prime minister of Canada, who made
the speech of the evening. declared
that whatever had been said of the
aspirations of those who want peace
continued between the two countries
could not be said too strongly.
'.If you want peace" he said, ''let
these two countries stand together,
back to back. four square to the
world, and war will be diminishing
probability and possibility"
The acting prime minister. who at
tended the dinner as the official rep
resentative of the dominion. com
mentlng on the new tariff between
Canada and this country. said that
this country would not be doing jus
tice to her sister of the SHOWS in the
matter reciprocity until we revised
the tart II again and reduced the
duties.
Mr.. Fosters references to reci-
procity, delivered mostly In a light
vein, pleased his audience, which
cheered him when he said that there
was higher reciprocity than potatoes
and butter and eggs.

G. @. P. Convention Next
Year; Hughes Mentioned

WASHINGTON Nov ia decis-
ion here today by the law COM
mittee of the Republican national or
ganization virtually assures the call
ing of Republican nationwide con-
vention some time next year. This.
it Is said. will be the first national
convention ever held for any other
purpose than to nominate candidates
for President and Vice-President.
The committee decided today that
there Is no power in the Republican
national committee to change the
basis of representation In the Re-
publican national convention. This
question arose in connection with a
demand by progressive Republicans
who held a conference In Chicago last
June that the basis of representation
be changed to cut down the number
of delegates from the Southern States.
Coincident with the meeting today
there was q little speculative gos-
sin as to presidential possibilities. The
name of Charles e. Hughes, associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, was
again mentioned prominently.
No one apparently has any authori-
tv to speak for Justice Hughes, and
persons who are in his confidence ex-
press grave doubt whether he even
will consider leaving the Supreme
Court bench.

Case of Accident Puzzles
Board and Attorney.

The West Orange Town Council and
Town Attorney Simeon H. Robinson
last night discussed the question OF
responsibility in case OF accident oc-
curing as u result of unkept side
walks in the town. Whether the
municipality or abutttng property
owners who fail to make the repairs
to their walks should be held re-
sponsible was the question discussed.
1t was asserted that there was not
a ward in the town which was not
defaced by sidewalks in poor repair,
and that funds were not available
with which to make the repairs,
which would cost in the neighborhood

cited and reports OF falls and conse-

CROSSING PROBLEM
PUT UP TOCOUNCI(N
Railroad Committee of Orange
Body Unable TO Arrive
at Decision.

After celebrating over the ques-
ton for several hours last night, the
railroad committee of the Orange
Common Council decided to submit
the question of eliminating the grade
crossings to the whole council at the
meeting next Monday night. It was
felt that the only way to agree on
a proposition to offer to the Lacka-
wanna Railroad was to nave the
matter threshed out by all of the
councilmen. ~
CITY Counsel Arthur A. SEYMOUR
who was at the meeting, told the
committee, it is said, that it is USE
less to request interviews with ofs
fcials of the railroad without having
some definite proposition. Most OF
the arguing last night hinged on
whether the committee should recon-
mend that the city pay for the prop
erty damage incident to the removal
of the crossings. Half of the commit
tee, it is understood, opposed offering
to pay any cost for the work, willis
the others seemed in a quandary as
to what to favor

ALLEGES ISLANDER;
SUES FOR $4,000
Police Chief Plaintiff in Action
Against Physician, Under
taker and Hospital Assn.

Edwin Il. Bond. a physician, and
Frederick r. Cook, an undertaken,
both of Caldwell, and the Mountain
side Hospital Association of Mont
clair are made defendants in a suit
for $4,000, filed in the county clerks
office today by John P. Eysoldt, chief
of police of Essex Fells.
1t is alleged in the papers, which
were drawn up by Eysoldt's attor-
neys, Helm e. Ready. that the physi-
clan and the hospital authorities. in
an endeayor to make appear legal an
autopsy performed on the body of the
plaintiffs wife, stated to the county
physician there were suspicious cir
cumstances attending the giving of
chicken broth by Eysoldt to his wife
while she was in the hospital" or
words to that effect
These words virtually charged the
plaintiff with a crime, It Is claimed.
1t is also charged that the defendants
told the county physician that the
chicken broth contained poison. Both
these statements were cruel unjust,
uncalled for, and absolutely false and
criminal, 1t is averred.
Eysoldt states in his complaint that
his wife was removed to the Noun
tainside Hospital September 3. where
the nurses, physicians and others In
charge treated her for acute Bright's
disease. He declares his wife was
not suffering from Bright's disease,
had no symptoms of such disease,
and was really afflicted with oedema
of the lungs, for which she was not
treated.
He saws he brought his wife
chicken broth Of which she partook.
When she died the hospital authori-
ties were DESTROYS of learning why
she had failed to respond to treat
ment. and with that end in view per-
formed the autopsy without the
knowledge or permission of him, he
charged. Cook. the undertaken. Ely
soldt alleges. kept the body until the
night following the death and failed
to embalm II as was agreed upon.
He is also charged with concealing
the fact of the autopsy from the
plaintiff.
It is understood the county physi-
clan determines the contents of a
bottle given him for analysis to be
chicken broth.
