Newark Under Employers
Liability Law.

The first suit under the employers
liability act in which the city of
Newark is the defendant is on hear
ing in Common Pleas Court before
Judge William p Martin today, Mrs.
Julia Davis, of 25S Clifton avenue, as
executrix of the estate of Henry H.
Davis, her husband, seeking to re-
cover compensation from the city for
his death.
Davis for a number of years was
employed by the city street depart
ment as a carpenter, and on June

men who were building a shed on a
dredger at work in the Peddie street
ditch. While crossing the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tracks, which run
alongside the ditch, Davis was hit by
an engine and sustained injuries
which caused almost instant death.
1t is contended that Davis had to
cross the track in order to get TO
and from his work and for this rea-
son it is sought to hold the city liable
under the liability act. 1t is the.
contention of the city that, inasmuch
as the accident oeourredS during the
noon luncheon hour Davis alone is
to blame and that no responsibility
rests on the city.
After hearing testimony of mum

for Theft of an Auto
and on Forgery Charge

For the theft of an automobile, the
property of Mortimer Davis, $40
South Thirteenth street, Frederick
Dreher, chauffeur, aged twenty
three years, living at 416 Mulberry
street, was arraigned before Judge
Simon Hahn, in the First Precinct
Court today, and held in $4,000 bail
to await the action of the grand
Jury.
According to the police, Dreher is
also guilty of forgery, in that he at
tempted to get $3.50 from bank with
whom a former employer of his in
Asbury Park did business. The de-
PENDANT is said to have confessed to
his part IN the alleged swindle. At the
direction of Judge Hahn, the facts in
this case viii be presented to the
grand jury and an Indictment asked
for.
Dreher was picked up last night by
Police Lieutenants Keogh and Tuite
at the request of Harry De Groot
Robinson. an Asbury Park business
man, by whom the defendant was
employed at one time. After leaving
Robinsons employ, Dreher came to
work in Newark for Davis and while
here is said to have telegraphed the
Asbury Park Trust Company for
Robinson" and asking that the
money be sent to Marshall street.
The order was telegraphed back to
the National Newark Banking Com
pany. and later Dreher appeared at
the bank to collect it. He was told
he would have to be properly identi-
fed before the payment could be
made. He is said then to have left
the banking institution and later
made an attempt to identify himself
by telephone. This failed, however,
and the money was never paid.
The police authorities in tracing the
theft of Davis's automobile, which
occurred on October s, and abandoned
at InterlalSen the next day, fastened
the crime on Dreher, and upon ar
resting him are said to have gotten
not alone his confession for the theft
l-ef> the automobile, but an admission
of his attempted swindle.

NEWARK VALUES
UP S1O,447,O16
County, With $23,592,45f of
Increased Assessable Prop
erty Raises Rates.

The County Board of Taxation to-
day certified the tax duplicates of the
city of Newark and the county
municipalities to the tax collectors of
the different towns. 1t is required by
law that the county board do this on
or before October l following the sub
mission to the board of the assessors
statements on August l.
In the two months from August to
October / the county board examines
and revises the return of the several
assessors and fixes the tax rate for the
several municipalities. 1t is this rate
that is being certified to the tax coll
lectors today.
With the exception of the city of
Newark and the borough of Caldwell,
every municipality in the county
shows an increased tax rate this year.
Newark's rate, as previously an
nounced, drops from S204 to S202,
while the Caldwell rate shows a ~
point drop, from $1.66 to $1.54.
MiIIburn Rate Jumps to S2.1S.
The largest increase in the county
is that of Millburn, which jumps from
81 SIS to $216, an increase of forty
Caldwell show a forty point in
crease, while Roseland showed one of
forty-five points. With the exception
of Caldwell borough, which shows a
decrease, all the municipalities in
western Essex show healthy in
crease.
In total ratables the city of Newark
shows an increase of S10,447.0 16 for
1913 over 1912, the total figures being
1894 ,301 194, against $685., 1854, 1872 for 1912
In the county the total ratables are
S606, 452. sos, as against S5S3.S70, 154 for
1912, an increase of $23 $50, 451.
The increase in ratables in both
city and county, as shown in the fig
ures above are rather misleading, as
in reality the ratables in the county
were increased approximately $685.,
600, 900 in the 1918 tax assessment. The
apparent showing of only $23, 100000
is due to the fact that the Prudential
Insurance Company by winning their
tax suit against the city knocked off
about $32, 900, 900 of the city ratables.
Despite the fact that this large
amount had to be deducted the city
assessments show an increase of over
100000.

for 1912 and 1918 for the different

Law Finds That Law Is
Law When Law Tried to
Take Law from Laws Hands

Law fell into the laws hands again

Shakespeare, Burns and Moore to

rent to be paid because he thought
there was going to be a hard win

thought might apply to his case and

Judge Hahn failed to be impressed
and put him behind the bars to come
back to earth and forget the poets.
AS he was led away he yelled to his
wife to fix the fiat up right.
