NEWARK SUES TO
EJECT RAILROAD
Action Attacking PennsyI-
vania's Title to Land Is Be-
gun by the City.

Before Judge Nelson Y. DUNCAN, in
the Supreme Circuit Court, the trial
of the suit of the city of Newark to
eject the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company from property in Mechanic
street, Hay alley and New Jersey
Railroad avenue, was started this
afternoon. The selecting of the jury
started Immediately after the noon
recess.
1t is commended by the city that
the land named in the suit was never
ceded to or purchased by the railroad
company, but simply used because no
objection was offered by the city. 1t
has been in use by the railroad for
about sixty years, and the defense
of the company is that the acquies-
cence of the city in the company's
use of the land gives it the right to
the property.
One strip in question runs from
Market street to Hamilton street, on
the westerly side of the railroad right
of way a distance of 744 feet, and Is
tWenty-seVen feet wide. This is the
part of New Jersey Railroad av/Hue
the city contends. Should the city
win its suit it would mean that the
main building of the present depot
would have to be removed from this
tract.
Where Hay Alley Comes In.
The freight house and Adams Ex-
press Company buildings are built
across Hay alley, the city AYERS. Hay
alley is supposed to run from Alling
street to New Jersey Railroad ave.
nue., about $50 feet long and 10 feet
wide, according to the city's maps.
If this should be cut through a slice
would have to be taken from the
freight house land the express shed
and across part of the plaza.
The city also claims that the en-
bankment of the railroad at the foot
of Mechanic street is on city land and
should be removed When the mu-
nicipal authorities sought to have
Mechanic street opened beneath the
railroad to connect with East Me-
chanc street on the east, the railroad
claimed it's right to the property and
refused to allow the opening of the
street. This piece of ground now oc-
cupied by the embankmcnt is 40 feet
by 67 feet
Refused 10 Change Plans.
More than a year ago the railroad
company planned new station for
Market street The city asked for
| alterations in the plans, which did
not altogether meet with their APP
prevail When it was found that the
work could not go ahead until
changes were made in the plans the
Pennsylvania dropped the project and
refused to make any changes.
In looking over the old maps of the
locality during the controversy, City
Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd dis
covered that the railroad occupied
land that should belong 70 the city
In retaliation for the company's re-
| fusal to change their station the city
then brought the suit for ejectment

Re-Marriage of Divorces
May Split Episcopal Church

NEW YORK, Oct. 6-Divorce, it
was freely said by prominent Episco-
palians today, will be one of the big
storm centres in the sensational fight
between high and low churchmen ex-
pected when the general convention
of the American Episcopal church
convenes here Wednesday,.
1.-The movement is on fool, and will
come up at the convention, 20 prevent
aemarriage (of divorced persons) at
rector of the Church of the Ascension.
This would be reactionary. Those
who suggest it fail to realize that
three-fourths of the divorces are not
the demand of women. They fail to
realize that it is part of the great
feminist movement"

Her ChiId's Body in N. Y. B.
Railroad Yard.

NEW YORK. Oct 6.-Mrs. Helen

vestigation into the finding of a dead
baby in the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road yards near Thirteenth avenue
and Twenty-sixth street last night. .
John Gallagher, railroad detective,
saw her leave the body, wrapped up
in paper. Upon her arrest she ad
mitted that the child was hers, but
asserted that it died a natural death
and she merely wished to find a way
to dispose of the body. Injuries Wis
ible on the head of the baby caused
the police to hold her until Coroner
Winterbottom performs an autopsy.
Mrs. Robson said the baby was born
August % and died October 8.
The rooms occupied by the Robsons
at IL Rowland street, Newark, were
given up by them last Friday. Neigh

sudden departure and that Mrs. Rob-
son accused her husband of deserving
her. The Robsons had been there
only two weeks and during that time
Mrs Robson had taken the baby to
the Eighth Avenue Day Nursery
every day.
Frank Robson, the husband, was
employed in a local church. He was
estranged from his father, Mark Rob-
son, a real estate dealer, of WASH
ington avenue.
