Judge ]. M. Woods, of the Jefferson
Circuit Court, was in Charles Town on
Monday to hear evidence and argument
in the application for bail for E. q. Will
son, held for the grand jury on the charge
of criminal assault. The State was repre-
scented by Prosecuting Attorney Geo. d.
Moore and Col. Forrest w. Brown,
while c. N. Campbell, of Charles Town,
and Clarence E. Martin, of Martinsburg,
appeared for the accused. After giving
the matter serious consideration, Judge
Woods denied the application, and the
prisoner is likely to remain in Jail in
Charles Town until the grand jury meets
next October. There was the most in
tense interest in this case, and the action
of Judge Woods is said TO meet with the
approval of the people of the county.
In conformity TO an ordinance passed al
a recent meeting of the town council o.
Shepherdstown, persons selling goods IN

printed in moulds considerably less thar

Although Ten Years a Wife;
Now Seeks an Annulment

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 4.-Married for
ten years, but never with her hus-
band under the same roof, Mrs. LII
lian d. Lazy, of this city. has begun
an action to have her marriage to
George Lester Larry annulled
Through the ten years Mrs. Larry has
continued to use her maiden name.
Their story, as told by Miss Post
anu corroborated in his answer by
Mr.. Larry, began with an elopement
on November IS. 1903, when Rev.
Richards Hartley married them in his
home, 223 West 104th street. New
York. Both were young then and
agreed not to live together until each
became of age, and they had the full
consent of their parents. Mrs. Larry
was still Miss Post to her husband
and to her family, to whom she went
directly after the ceremony.
Miss Post. was eighteen years old
and Mr. Lazy twenty. He continued
IN business as q clerk in this city. 1t
is said, and she lived with her parents
until both were of age. What hap
pened during the intervening years Is
not disclosed in the complaint or an
swer. but they never had q second
ceremony.
In his answer the husband agrees
that the marriage was a secret one,
although none the less binding.
Miss Post is said to be the daugh-
ter of Abraham Post, who died re-
Gently after organizing a large retail
Ash business in Jersey City.
Justice Pendleton has referred the
action to W. Fl. Hoffman as referee.

Bombs Exploded in Theatre
and Tenement in New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Two bombs
were exploded within a few hours
of each other today, one having been
fired In a tenement house in which
the lives of eight families were I'M
perllled. while tho other was exploded
in moving picture theatre as the
last few feet of the last film was being
run off.
The most serious damage was done
to the four story tenement house at
414 East Eleventh street early today
when a bomb was placed In the hall
way. The force of the explosion blew
off the heavy front door, throwing 1t
into the street, while the stairway
was shattered and the windows In the
building broken.
The other explosion occurred in the
Variety Theatre, at 235 Bowery, where
the missile was placed in the second
landing leading INTO the balcony.
The explosion shook the building
from top to bottom. Several steps
leading to the balcony were blown
out and the plaster knocked off the
walls by the force of the explosion,
and the banister was also blown
away. The lights were turned on soon
after the explosion, and in a measure
tended to quell the small panic that
attended the detonation OF the bomb.

Water Supply Officials and
Other State Officers Must
Pay Fare by Courts Ruling

TRENTON. Noy. 4.-The Supreme
Court yesterday afternoon set aside
an order of the Public Utilities COM
mission granting free transportation
to the members of the State Water
Supply Commission over the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company. The case was
brought into the court by certiorari
proceedings by Mahlon L. Hoagland,
of the State Water Supply Commits
sion.
Hoagland rendered the conductor a
certificate from the secretary of state
that he was member of this commits
sion and was entitled to free passage
over all railroads of the State. The
conductor exhibited a printed slip
issued by the company that certain
state officers were not entitled to free
passage, Hoagland being one, and the
complainant was made to pay his fare.
He then filed his complaint
After the hearing the board made an
order directing the railroad company
to allow upward of 400 persons, desig-
mated by their official titles, to pass
free of charge over the Lackawanna
road. This order followed the Ian
guage of Section 40 OF the general rail-
road act, as amended in 1911, and was
therefore a direction to the railroad
company to obey that stature.
Justice Garrison, who wrote the
courts opinion, directs the setting
aside of the commissions order so far
as the State Water Supply Commits
sion is concerned. The justice held
that the order is erroneous, as the
duty sought to be imposed by the act
in question upon the railroad company
to carry free of charge the members
the State Water Supply Commission
was not an exercise Of the reserved
right of the Legislature or of the
police power, but constituted a taking
of the property of the railroad with
out due process of law.
