ONE AUTO CRASHES INTO
ANOTHER; DOCTOR HURT

Struck by another auto as it was
about to turn into the driveway of

it had struck the other machine In

SHERIFF MONAHAlN'S LAST
JURORS UNDER OLD LAW

Sheriff John F. Monahan next
Monday will draw his final panel of
petit Jurors from the lists Of talesmen
as they now exist in his Office. The
sheriff has decided that the new jury
law requiring him to submit his list
of names to Judge of the Supreme
Court does not go into effect until
the opening of the September term
of court and will therefore draw the
final panel for the June term in the
usual manner. 1t will consist of 10
names.
There has been considerable specu-
lation as to just when the new jury
law goes into effect. The act itself
appears to be contradictory in that
1t provides that thirty days notice
shall be given before the term of
court opens and that new list of
Jurors is to be drawn and the names
submitted to a Supreme Court justice.
The act also provides that 1t shall
take immediate effect.
1t Is pointed out that the law did
not go into effect until after the pres
ent, or June term of court had
opened, and thus the required thirty
day notice could not be given. For
that reason the sheriff has decided to
draw the final panel for this term
under the old law.

MAYOR SPEAKS
/ TO CONTRACTORS
Pleads With Two That Appear
for Is Cents an Hour
for Men.

Seeking to bring about settle
naent of the laborers' strike, Mayor
Jacob Haussling today conferred with
two of the five local contractors af-
fected. For various reasons the other
three were unable to be present.
In answer to a request from the
mayor. Thomas ]. o'Gara. president
of O'Gara & MCGUIRE, Inc, and Fred
ericl c. Van Kueren, of Van kueren
& Sons, appeared at the City Hall
shortly before noon.
Through the two firms represented,
the mayor appealed to the contrac-
tors to consider the demands of the
strikers for % cents an hour. He
made no mention of the demands of
the laborers for recognition of their
union, nor did he ask for an eight
hour day. He simply asked that the
men be given a living wage
Both contractors promised to con-
suit with their business associates,
and also with the other contractors,
and give the Mayor an answer to his
proposition Monday. 1t is likely that
q counter-proposition will be sub
nnitted.
In promising consideration for the
Increased wage demand. both con-
tractors insisted to the mayor that 1t
would be impossible TO pay uniform
wage. They contended that some of
the men were worth the amount men
fioned, while others earned a great
deal less. Both insisted that they had
number Of men under employ at
present that were receiving this
amount and over though admitting
that there were some who received
less.
1t was the contention of both also
that their own men were perfectly
satisfied with present conditions. but
were harassed and interfered with by
the employees of other contractors
who are dissatisfied.
A letter was received from the John
r. Stanley company that its position
Is unchanged. 1t set forth that there
was no work on hand at present and
therefore had nothing to discuss. 1t
was for this reason that no represen-
fative was present.
Hugh F. Gilligan, president of the
Newark Paving Company. assured
the mayor some time ago that he
would be glad TO take up the matter
with the other contractors. He was
unable to be present today, but will
probably have a hand in framing the
reply to the mayor. The Mcleod COM
pany was not heard from.
Gaetano NJ. Belfatto, representing
the strikers. when informed of the
meeting with the mayor, declared
that his clients would in all probable
fly be satisfied If the appeal of the
mayor is granted by the contractors.
As for the union he declared that
Recognition would be given If the In
crease is granted. He said that the
strikers principal fight is for a liv-
ing wage.
Mr.. Belfatto is of the opinion also
that the contractors are prevented by
law from working the men over eight
hours a day. He said, however, that
he would look further into this ques-
ton.

general conditions here, and the pro-

His conclusions, as to the latter, it
Is understood, are that the present

is inimical to efficiency and progress.

to answer any questions.

concluded that even the board has no

that the entire organization is weak.

Attention is called also to the dan

Particular reference Is made by Mr..

MRS. HEATH LOSES
UNDER DECISION
Vice-chancelIor's Finding in
Foreclosure Case Involving
a Lost Mortgage.

Under the provisions of an opinion
filed by Chancellor Howell to-
day in the Heath foreclosure case
Mrs. Bertha B. Heath, of II Rose
vile avenue stands to lose more thar
$4,000 Mrs. Marjorie Connolly, Of
Lakemont N. Y, also loses $4,000
but the vice-chancellor's opinion, de
priving one estate OF the money, de-
posits 1t in another, in which Mrs.
Connolly shares to a like amount
so her loss really amounts to no.
thing. Miss Carlotta Heath, Of
Brookline, Mass. who is student
at Simmin's College. Boston. would
profit to the extent Of $4,000. but
the case will be carried to the court
of errors and appeals.
Administrators Brings Suit.
The suit, brought by Frederick r.
Maddox, of East Orange, as admins
traitor of the Heath estate. involved
a lost mortgage for $4,000 which
Charles Heath gave to his father,
the late Edmund F. Heath, a War
rem street linoleum manufactures. in
1892. In his opinion, the vice-chan-
cellor says, he has no doubt that
there was a mortgage of the sort
mentioned, because Heath's widow,
Mrs. Margaret c. Heath, listed 1t in
1904 in the inventory of her husbands
estate as an asset, with the COM
mentary value uncertain"
That at that time she had posses
sion of the mortgage as was testified
- nf thu atfr
rogate's office, who was one OF the
appraisers of the Heath estate.
What has since become of it, Mr..
Maddox testified, he did not know.
The mortgaged property is in Centre
street, in South Orange.
Against "A Foreclosure.
The mortgage was executed either
to secure a personal loan or to secure
future advances to be made under it,
the vice chancellor found, but he de-
cided against the foreclosure because
Mr.. Maddox failed to prove that
there was ever any money advanced
for 1t.
Mrs. Bertha B. Heath is the widow
of Edmund F. Heath, jr., and a
daughter-in-law of the mortgagor.
Her husband left her nothing from
the estate of his father, and her
interest arose from her half share
in the estate of Edmund Heath, sr.,
her husbands grandfather, for which
she had made cash settlement with
four other legatees.
Mrs. Connolly has a half interest
in her fathers estate and half in
terest in her grandfather's estate,
consequently she is not affected. Miss
Carlotta Heath. who has the other
half interest in her fathers estate.
received her share from her grand
fathers estate in a lump sum of
100000. so she profits by $4,000.
Algernon T. Sweeney, counsel for
Mrs. Heath. will make the appeal.
He bases 1t on the contention that
there was consideration, as shown
by an account of loans the son re-
ceived from the father.
