Son Claims His Mother
Unduly Influenced Father

Charging that his mother exerted
undue influence on the unsound mind
of his father when he made a will
leaving his property to her and maxi
ing her eXecutrix, Harvey NJ. Struble,
of 279 Woodside avenue, has started
an action to break the will through
an appeal to the Orphans Court.
Citation was served today on his
mother, Mrs. Mary e. Struble, of %
Eagles street, and is returnable on
August 27
Struble's father was John Asa
Struble, former resident of Sussex
county, who died on June at the
Eagles street address. His estate con-
sists of some real estate and about
$500 personal property.
In his petition of appeal, Struble al
leges that his father suffered from

istratrix. The will was admitted to

GETS WRIT IN KINNEY
BUILDING CAFE CASE

An application for a writ of certio-
rari to review the action of the Board
of Excise Commissioners of the city
of Newark in granting a transfer of
an excise license to Arthur e. Straube
from Fifteenth avenue to the Kinney
building, at Broad and Market streets,
was granted to William T. Garter,
representing the trustees of the First
Presbyterian Church by Cher Justice
Gummere today.
The case involves several interest
ing points, chief among which is the
contention as to whether the license
granted is a new one or not. There
was formerly saloon in part of the
premises now known as the Kinney
building, but Mr.. Carter contends that
it was in a different place than the
place now occupied as a saloon, and
that the license is, therefore, a new
one. He objected on the ground that
it is within 200 feet of the church
property.
The chief justice declared that he
believed the controversy should be
determined by the Supreme Court and
granted the writ, with the proviso that
it was not to act as a stay.

STOKES LAUDS WITTPENN =
FOR DROPPING OUT OF RACE

TRENTON, N. j., July 26.-Declar-
ing that the people are not interested
in party quarrels, but that they want
a political party to do things, former
Governor Edward C. Stokes today
gave high praise to former Mayor
II. Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey City. for
withdrawing from the Democratic
gubernatorial race in the interest of
party harmony. Mr.. Stokes said
further that President Wilson owes
much to Wittpenn and could not have
made a successful fight in this State
without his aid.
Discussing the withdrawal of Witt
penn, ,ex-Governor Stokes said:
.Former Mayor Wittpenn's action In
withdrawing from the contest to
promote harmony is most magnani-
nous and stamps him manly man.
7 wish that his action would be fol-
lowed in the other parties of the
State People are not interested In
garty quarrels.
president Wilson owes him much.
Fhe President could not have made a
successful fight in this State except
for Mayor Wittpenn. and it is not
TOO much to say that the Wilson
delegates from this State to the ma
tional convention were the result of
the efforts of Wittpenn more than any
other man. He now sacrificed himself
again at the Presidents desire for
party harmony, and while he may not
be the party standard bearer, its sue
cess this fall. if it be successful, will
be due to Wittpenn's sacrifice and
magnanimity."

HIGH SPEED CARS
ARE TOO HEAVY.
Passage of High Speed Cars
Over Clay Street Bridge
Halted Until August 4.

Because County Engineer Thomas
J. Wasser of Hudson county, claims
the Clay street bridge is not strong
enough to permit of the passage of
the heavy high speed trolley cars used
by the Public Service railway on the
routes leading over the bridge, the
Public Utility Commission has in
structed the railway company to rein
force certain sections of the structure
before traffic is started over it.
Trolley traffic on the Clay street
span over the Passaic river was to
have been resumed today, according
to ruling of the Public Utility Com
mission a month ago. Recently En-
gineer Wasser informed the commits
sion that the bridge ought to be rein
forced before the heavy trolley cars
were allowed to pass over it, and the
commission gave the railway COM
pany until Monday, August 4, to COM
plete the improvements suggested.
The CLAW street bridge was used eX-
clusively for trolley traffic until April
1907, when the tracks were trans
ferred to the Bridge street span
pending the completion of a new Clay
street bridge.
When the structure was completed
the railway company could not come
to an agreement with the representa-
tives of Essex and Hudson counties as
TO the compensation to be paid for the
use of the bridge. The matter stood
undecided until last fall, when the
Legislature referred the matter to the
Public Utility Commission at the in
stance of the residents of East New
ark.
About month ago the commission
ordered the railway company to re-
sumo its traffic over the Clay street
bridge on July 26. This was done fol-
lowing a petition from Mayor G. A.
McGlennon, of East Newark, praying
for the immediate resumption of traf-
fic over the bridge. The matter OF
compensation is still pending.
The Public Service Company will
endeavor to install the new eye
beams and effect the other reinforce
ments suggested by Engineer Wasser
before August A.

PREDICT ROCKY ROAD FOR

labor, who has informed Congress
that one touring automobile, an cleo
trio runabout and an auto-truck are
necessary to the good conduct of the
new department, apparently has
launched his request on a rocky leg
islative road.

requisition will develop tire trouble,
bad cylinders and bent 'axles," said

fore it gets past the minority objec-
tons Other department heads have
their motors and Mr.. Wilson should
have his, but this is the day of re-
prisals."

explain the cause of the explosion.
The damage is unknown.
The company employs between
$500 and 1900 hands and a near
panic followed the explosion. They
rushed out of the other buildings and
refused to go back.
Rolls of thick, black smoke poured
out of the building, followed by inter-
mittent tongues of flame, that made
the heat so intense it was impossible

fire.
Gerrish Newell, manager of the
concern, is unable to give any cause
for the explosion.

going to lock him up.
Wendell meantime was searching
the city for the boy. He happened TO
visit the Brick Church section and
while in the locality he was sur
prised to see White and the boy
coming along Harrison street. Wendell
hid in an alleyway. AS White and
the boy reached Mckinley avenue
Wendell walked up alongside of the
wagon to grab the youth.
Spotting the detective just as Wen
ders hand was about to fall upon him,
Burreu jumped from the seat next
to White, hurried to the sidewalk
and, grabbing another wheel that was
standing against building, jumped
on the bicycle and rode off before the
officers knew what happened. When
Wendell recovered from the surprise
he started after Burrell. Drawing his
revolver he fired three shots at the
boy, but the bullets served to make
Burrell peddle faster and he was soon
safely out of sight.
Now the police of all surrounding
municipalities are looking for him, as
Chief of Police O'Neill has sent out a
general alarm for the youth.
