Denver, Colo, Dec. 5:-The most
terrific snowstorm in this states
history was still raging at an early
hour today, although showing signs
of abatement. Daylight disclosed
the fact that traffic of all kinds
was absolutely at a standstill. The
street car tracks down town are
buried under from two to four feet
of snow. Thousands fought snow
drifts to walk to work today.
At a. m. 1t was estimated that
twenty-five and eight-tenths inches
of snow had fallen in twenty nine
hours. Since the snow fall began at
midnight Wednesday until today
there has been no cessation. Hun
dreds of Denver wo. Aers have spent
the nights down town. All public
schools and many private institutions
have been closed and transfer and ex-
press companies have been compell-
ed to abandon business altogether.
The Cromway Company at 8 O'Clock
had not moved a street car for fif-
teen hours. In some sections the

RAR|TAN CANAL
Bill Filed BY MiddIeSex Trans

Maintain Canal Dismissed.
NO RIGHT TO CLOSE BASIN
Railroad Asked For Dismissal
On The Ground That The
Transportation Co. Had An
Adequate Remedy At Law.
10 RIGHT TO CLOSE BASIN
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Trenton, Dec. 5.-The bill filed in
the court of chancery by the Middle
sex Transportation Company to COM
pei the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to maintain and operate a part
of the Delaware and Raritan canal
at New Brunswick during the winter
season until the elements make it
impossible, is dismissed in an opinion
filed in chancery today by Vice Chan
cellor Backes. After the transporta-
ton company had brought the suit
the railroad company interposed a
demurrer. The vice chancellor sus-
taired this demurrer and then dis
missed the bill with costs upon the
transportation company. The bill
was filed January last. The plain
tiff alleged that the defendant had
no right to close the basin connected
with the canal at New Brunswick and
which is used by the transportation
company because the basin is public
highway and claiming that 1t lost
approximately $500 a day through
the closing of the basin. The trans
portation company asks for a decree
compelling the railroad company to
Keep the DdSlu Optu lOt IuS uSo VI
the complainant's boats until it is
closed by the elements and also to
compel the company to operate the
outlet lock where the canal empties
into the Raritan river when neces-
sary to permit the complainant s
boats to pass through.
The demurrer filed by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company asks for
the dismissal of the suit upon the
ground that the transportation COM
pany has an adequate remedy at law
and that its right to relief must be
first established by judgment in an
action at law. In deciding against the
transportation company Vice Cham
cellor Backes says 1t has complete
and adequate remedy at law. Re
course may be had to the Board OF
Public Utility Commissioners, he
says, or to proceedings by mandamus
to compel the railroad company to
give the relief sought. He decides
that an action for damages will fur
nish full relief.

UNDECIDED AS To
SHER|FF'S JOB
Senator Ramsay Not Sure Who
He Will Recommend.

Senator William E. Ran say stated
this morning that he had not decid-
ed who he would recommend to the
governor to fill the unexpired term
OF Sheriff Albert Bollschweiler,
when he is appointed United States
marshal. The senator stated the
question would be decided as soon
as the most suitable man to qualify
for the responsibilities Of the posi-
ton is arrived at. The senator was
guarded in his statements and re-
fused to say who he favors for the
position.
1t is understood that it is desired
to put a man in the Office, who
would be satisfactory to all the
Democratic factions, or pursue a
plan in allotting the berth in such
manner that would satisfy the
friends of both Mayor Appleby, of
Spotswood, and Deputy Sheriff
Houghton, who are both candidates
for the position. AS stated in the
NEWS yesterday harmony might be
brought about by giving the covet-
ed place to Mayor Appleby until
next fall, with the understanding
that Mr.. Houghton have the right
of way seeking the nomination in
the primaries next fall.
Though DR.. Ramsay is understood
to be holding out for Mayor Apple
by, he would not commit himself
this morning, only saying "The only
candidate | have talked to on the
subject is Mr.. Houghton, and he
understands my position" Though
the senator would not elucidate, this
is taken to mean that DR.. Ramsay
had explained to the deputy sheriff

favoring Mayor Appleby for the po-

Violated Health Laws And Are
Fined In Court.

Two men were found guilty on
health board charges and a third
was released because he was not
proven guilty before Recorder Pick
ersgill in the police court last night.
Elisio Ricci, of 399 State street,
was fined $40 and costs amounting
to s2.40 on a charge Of violating
that section of the health code which
prohibits the use of an clubhouse or
cesspool on property bordering on
q street in which there Is a sewer.
The defendant appeared about an
hour after the hearing. Health In
spector Willsey was the complain
ing witness.
Milk Dealer Discharged.
Henry Cohen, produce dealer,
of 473 New Brunswick avenue, was
released from a charge of selling
milk without a license, preferred by
DR.. Wallace M. Gill, food inspector.
In the opinion of Recorder Pickers-
gill, Cohen was guilty but through
the efforts of able counsel, Stephen
f. Somogyi, the recorder said, he
was not proven so. There seemed
to be a difference Of opinion as to
whether Cohen or his wife owned
the store In question, and DR.. Gill
could not swear that the three
quarts of milk he found in can
on the premises November 10 were
for sale. The defendant pleaded
ot guilty. Mr.. Somogyi's motion
for dismissal on the ground that
the evidence did not show that
Cohen had milk for sale, was grant
ed, Recollecting that Cohen had
tried to bribe him with S1.10 cents
worth of fruits and vegetables, re
corder Pickersgill informed DR.. Gill
that he would be glad at any time
to entertain complaint against
him.
In disposing of the case the re-
corder pointed an accusing finger
at Cohen and warned him in con-
vincing terms that If charges were
ever proven against him, so long as
he was on the bench, he would De
punished to the fullest extent of the
law, and doubly SO If there was
any means for doing it.
Stief Szebilsky, grocer, OF 31s
Stockton street, was found guilty
of q technical violation in selling
milk without license. Mr.. Somo-
gyi, his counsel, pleaded that his
client had not understood the health
board laws, believing that milk Ii
censes were good for year from
the date on which they were issued.
Sentence was suspended and the de-
fendant was instructed to pay the
costs of the case, $40.
