HIS 'HOME-MAD
PETITION FAILS
Judge Osborne Views Adverse
Iy Sternberg's Plea in Time
Honored Action.

In rather caustic opinion handed
down in Orphans Court today Judge
Osborne dismisses the homemade
petition made by Lazar Sternberg
seeking to recover the estate of Jacob
Stern, who died on June 20, 1892 al
most tWenty-one years ago. Since
1897 the matter has been before the
Orphans Court in one form or an
other almost continuously, the pres
ent opinion being brought out by
proceedings taken in person by Mr.
Sternberg before Judge Osborne last
February
AT that time Mr.. Sternberg sub
mitted a petition drawn by himself
in which he charged that David
Wolff, one of the executors of the es-
tate, had retained in his possession
money belonging to 1t, and made
other allegations that under the opin-
ion rendered today by the court were
not borne out by the facts.
Judge Osborne says in part.
"Lazar Sternberg files his petition
in this matter to the end that the
estate of Jacob Stern, deceased, may
be recovered and praying that the
court may take such proceedings in
the premises as may be meet The
petition contains allegations of such
character that, upon proper appii-
cation, ii would probably be struck
out for impertinence and scandal. but
in view of it's ex parte character and
the fact that the petitioner is not a
member of the bar and files his petit
ton in his own behalf, the court will
take into consideration his lack of
technical knowledge in the prepare
ton of such an instrument and con-
slider the document as though the pc
tition were in proper FORM
Briefly the facts in the case are
as follows: When Mr.. Stern died in
1892 he named Mrs. Rosa Stern. the
widow, who Is now the wife of Lazar
Sternberg, and David Wolff, the
business partner of Mr.. Stern, as
joint executors of the estate. On
July q, 1897, Mrs. Stern filed an in
ventory of the estate. Exceptions
were taken to this inventory by her
co-executor, but were later with
drawn. Then things were quiet for
almost eleven years, or until January
II, i'Vo, Wilcll MIS-. oleTn Hleu q De-
tition alleging that Wolff had re-
ceived money belonging to the estate
and had not accounted for 1t.
On January Is, 1903, the entire mat
ter was referred by Judge Ten Eyck
to Deputy Surrogate Charles f.
Kocher as an advisory master. Mr..
Kocher held hearings at which the
widow of Stern. Mr.. Wolff and Mr..
Sternberg all testified. and In the
opinion handed down by Judge Os-
borne he calls attention to the fact
that Sternberg had opportunity to go
into all the matters he now seeks to
investigate at that time.
Mr. Kocher's opinion, handed down
in 1905 was that Mr.. Wolff had not
received any money or property from
the estate of Jacob Stern.
Various other actions followed the
filing of this opinion until August 81.

BRAKEMAN CRUSHED TO
DEATH BETWEEN CARS

Clifford W. Peel. So years old, a
brakeman, employed by the Pennsyl~
vania railroad was instantly killed
yesterday when crushed between two
freight cars at Jelliff avenue and Rose
street. Peel had just coupled to-
gether two cars when the train
started. Not thinking that the cars
were on curve he stepped from be-
tween the bumpers on the wrong side
of the train. The curve caused the
cars to meet on the side he was
standing.
His body was taken to his home, at
61O Hunterdon street, after being
viewed by County Physician MeKen-
zie. Peel had worked for the railroad
for the past ten years. He was a
member Of Essex Lodge No. Y,
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
He is survived by his wife and three
children.

1909, when an appeal was taken to
the Prerogative Court. This appeal
has. as far as the records show, never
been passed and is still pending.
On January 10 last Sternberg,
through counsel, sought to obtain a
new hearing, and January "a was set
for the date of the hearing. On that
date neither Sternberg nor his counsel
appeared in court, and the matter
was dismissed. A week later Stern
berg in person came into court and
made the appeal which is now dis
missed by Judge Osborne.
Judge Osborne in Diminishing the
petition says he cannot see where
Sternberg, is entitled to any relief,
and calls attention 10 the fac that
the entire matter has once before
been gone over by the Orphans Court
and adjudicated.

BRYAN AT TRENTON
HITS AT TRAITORS
Secretary of State Hints al
DeYeliction of Senators Who
Defeated Convention Bill.
fcontinued from FIRST Page,

people have decided is necessary in
order for them to have government
which is truly representative.
Although Mr.. Bryan did not mem
ton directly either the proposition of
constitutional convention or that of
changes In the system of jury selec-
ton, his remarks left no doubt as to
what he meant to convey to the mem
bers of the House. Actually what he
said was in praise of the majority of
Assemblymen who did all in their
power to make constitutional con-
vcntion possible. and who placed a
strong referendum clause in the jury
BILL providing that there should be
no jury commission appointed by the
Governor unless the people at an cleo
ton specifically went on record for
that sort of a change.
People Moro Than Representatives.
"rhere is more virtue in the
people" declared Mr.. Bryan, than
ever finds expression in their repre-
sentatiyes. / am satisfied that that
government is wisest which draws its
wisdom from all OF the people and
not from a part Of the people.
MIR. Bryan came here to speak at
the dinner of the Chamber Of Com
Taerce last night and at the suggestion
of Majority Leader Egan he was In
vited to address the members of the
Assembly. The news that he was to
speak spread quickly and there was a
large crowd of spectators In the lobby
and galleries. who greeted his re-
marks warmly. Comment among the
Assemblymen afterWard was general
that they experienced pleasure at the
commentator by the secretary OF
their action on two of the most inn
portant matters which have been con-
sidered by this Legislature.
In part, he said:
Il have found-and / am not stat
ing it as a discovery of my own
that there are two points Of view
from which questions affecting all
mankind are approached. They are
the aristocratic and the democratic
points Of view. 1t Is true that these
exist in every form of government
and it makes a great. deal of differ
ence whether a representative accepts
one of these views or the other, a
difference to him and to the people
ne represents.
1.-THE arstocratic idea is that peo-
pie are not intelligent enough to
think for themselves. but that they
are intelligent enough to elect others
to think for them. Those who hold
this view look upon the Legislature
as a sort of superior body. The
democratic view is that the people
ought to think for themselves and
then carry out what they think ought
20 be done.
>"The great fault with representative
government is that II does not repre-
sent. IL Is because of the corruption
that has come by reason of this fact the
people have demanded the Initiative and
referendum.

gressive government means, 1t is that
