SUES HOLLAND HOTEL
COMPANY FOR $4,000
Cigar Stand Lease Cause of
Rosner's Action.

Henry A. Rosner, a cigar dealer,
through his counsel, ]. Edward
Smith, has filed bill of complaint
in the county clerks office, in which
he seeks to recover $4,000 damages
from the Holland Hotel Company,
consisting of William Rogge and
others, as owners of the Holland
House, in Market street.
The suit arises out of the lease of
cigar stand privileges in the Holland
House, which, according to Rosner's
bill of complaint he enjoyed just
one day, New Years Day last. Ros-
ner alleges that on November 20, 1912,
he leased space from the Holland
Hotel Company for a cigar stand,
and that the lease was to run for
five years from January /, 1918.
He states that on that date he took
possession, but that on January q
1913, he was elected from the prem
Uses. The election caused him loss OF
stock and fixtures and time and
trouble in finding another location,
he alleges. Damages to the amount
of $1,000 are claimed for this, while
the balance of the $4,000 claim Is for
loss of use of the Holland House
cigar stand for the five years Of the
lease.
1t is understood that there was a
disagreement between William
Rogge, of the Holland House, and
Rosner on the day the latter opened
the stand, and that as result
Rogge, or the Holland House Com
pany, bought Rosner out and oper-
ated the stand as part of the hotel
business. No explanation could be
obtained today of why the suit for
10000 was brought at this time. Mr..
Rogge is at Mt Clemens, Mich.
Edward l. Croll, counsel for the
Holland Hotel Company, said today
he could not understand the filing of
the suit and that there was absolute
ly no ground for action, at the same
time producing a receipt signed by
Rosner on April 10 last, in which,
after acknowledging the payment of
certain sum of money for a stock
OF tobacco and cigars, Mr.. Rosner
adds as follows:
81 hereby waive all further claims
/ may have against the Holland Hotel
Company"
Mr. Crol said the original dispute
between the parties came when Ros-
ner failed to live up to the terms of
his lease in fitting up the cigar stand
which occupied space in front of
the Holland House bar.

POLICE OFFICER CHARGES
TWO WITH BEATING HIM
Lieut.. Waller Stopped Fight
and Was Set Upon.

Lieutenant William J. Walzer, of
the Third precinct, appeared in Quar-
ter Sessions Court before Judge Har-
ry V. Osborne as the complaining
witness against Matthew Kuhn, of 1877
Avon avenue, and James Gaynor, Of
III Hamburg place, on trial for as
sault and battery on Waller on Janu-
airy l. last.
On that date, Waller, with mis- son,
Eugene, was on his way to visit a
friend at Ferry and Magazine streets
when he found a fight in progress at
the corner of Ferry and Frederick
streets. He worked his way through
a big crowd that was Watching two
men fight and grabbed the fighters.
The crowd, angry at having its
sport spoiled asked Walzer who he
was When he said he was police
officer he got a blow on the head
that knocked him out. When he
came to he was being used as a foot
ball by the crowd, but he drew his
revolver and forced the crowd back.
At that time he could not identify
his assailants, but on January re-
ceived information that led him to
believe Kuhn and Gaynor were the
two that had committed the assault
on him and their arrests followed.
Eugene Waller and others in court
today identified Kuhn and Gaynor as
the men who had knocked the officer
down.
Kuhn and Gaynor admit being in
the crowd that was watching the
fight, but deny having any hand in
the assault on the officer.

JUSTICE LEHMAN SAYS
MILLIONAIRE Is INSANE

NEW YORK, April 23.-supreme
Court Justice Lehman today con-
firmed the verdict of a jury before
the late Justice Bischoff. declaring
Herman N. Walter an incompetent
and appointing as a committee of his
person and estate his brother and
two nephews. Moritz, Clarence R. and
Edwin j. Walter.
Justice Lehman said that he had
carefully read the record in the case,
and that he could see no reason to
doubt that Walter was an incompe-
tent. not only because of the affida-
Wits of three physicians, but also
from the pitiable exhibition the in
competent made in court when called
as a witness.
The committee is to give bond
based upon valuation of the in
competents property at the sum Of
81, 900, 900.

INVENTOR OF "TALKIES"
TO JAIL AS A BEGGAF

That the real and only original in
ventor of the kinetophone, or talking
motion-plcture machine, should be
obliged to spend thirty days in a
common jail seems hard. Acting
Judge Oehring, however, showed that
he cared nothing for genius when he
gave Charles Lyon, IS years old a
lodger at the Clinton Hotel, the above
sentence in the Second Precinct Court
today.
Lyon was arrested last night
charged with begging by Mendicancy
officer Mclaughlin. When brought
into court this morning he pronounced
the belief that Thomas A. Edison
was the inventor of the machine to
be a popular error.
II conceived the idea in 1895, judge,
while working with Edison in MEMO
Park" said Lyon.

After Fire Started
by Cigar.
IFrom 4 staff Correspondent


TRENTON, N. j., April 23.-The
Board of Public Utilities Commission
ers has submitted to the Public Service
Railway Company a recommendation
of its inspector that the railway COM
pany post in its car-barns notices to
conductors that in the future there
shall be no smoking or carrying of
lighted cigars. pipes or cigarettes on
any car of the closed vestibule type,
and that no smoking shall be permit
ted in any case except those which
have portion especially designated
for this purpose.
This recommendation, which will be
taken up for consideration at the
boards meeting at the Court House,

growth of the investigation of an ac-
cident on April 7, on a car on the
Bergen Line
A fire occurred on the back plat
form of this car, on the middle of the
trestle spanning the West Shore
tracks. There was a panic at the time
of the accident, which resulted in in
juries to several passengers. There
was found on the car, after the fire,
an empty can of gallon and a half
capacity that had evidently contained
some inflammable substance, presum-
ably furniture polish, as there were
also found several brushes, chamois
skin and felt rubber, such as is used
by a furniture polisher.
The presumption Of the inspector
was that the can was placed on the
back platform; that it leaked slightly,
and thai fire from a lighted pipe.
cigar or cigarette ignited the oil or
vapor. The rear platform was the
only part of the car damaged by the
fire.

SENDS BRYAN TO
PROTEST ALIEN BILL


as expressing a desire for the fullest
cooperation between the State and
the federal government
Representative Kettner, Democrat,
of California, brought the President
some kilograms indicating that while
there was strong sentiment to drop
| the legislation entirely on account of
the approaching exposition and the
opening of the Panama canal, there
was nevertheless also a formidable
movement to put through a so-called
discriminating legislation at this ses-
sion.
News of the Presidents suggestion
to send Secretary Bryan soon spread
| throughout diplomatic circles. The
opinion was freely expressed that the
Presidents course would satisfy
Japan that the Federal Government
was doing everything in it's power.
1t is understood that while the
Japanese ambassador has made no
formal representations since a week
ago, when he entered protest against
the legislation, the attitude of the
Washington administration is re-
garded with satisfaction.
AT the Japanese embassy IOudy IL
was stated on behalf of Ambassador
Chinda that nothing could be said
until the final form of the California
legislation had been developed and all
reports quoting the ambassador or
embassy officials to any other effect
were denounced as untrue.
Later, and in view of various pub
lished reports, this formal statement
was issued at the Japanese en-
bassy:
mo visit has been made by the
ambassador to the White House this
week, nor has he ever limited to any
body at such an alarming outcome
of the situation as a possible war
between the two countries. In fact,
such a contingency mas not been dis
cussed at any phase, so that it is
equally erroneous to say that the
Japanese ambassador has declared
that no war will follow In fact, he,
as well as his government, confident
ly relies upon the sympathetic atti-
tude of the American administration
and the high sense of justice and
fairness of the American people to
prevent legislation adverse to the
Japanese.
I'm view of the gravity of these
reports and of their possible mischief,
the embassy authorizes the strongest
possible contradiction of such state
ments."
