Court.

No more widows pension" hear
ings can be held for four or five
months to come. Lack of funds to
carry on the work of investigation by
the New Jersey State Board Of Chill

sion of the hearings and the holding

If the present Legislature acts

preparation is made to carry on the
work, it will be at least June before

Judge Harry V Osborne. of the Es
sex County Court of Common Pleas,
today announced that he had can
celled all hearings set down for the
coming Thursday and future dates,
with the exception of one very needy
case, in which, the widow is in dire
straits.
Judge Osborne was one of the first
to recognize the shortcomings of the
law. At the very first hearing before
him and before a half dozen cases
had been heard he called attention to
the difficulties that must be over

room changes that he thought neces-

of sufficient funds for the work Of
investigating before and after the
pensions are granted Another was
the adding of more fiexibility to the
scale of pensions, some way in which
the judge might reduce or increase
the amount to be granted in cases
that warranted it.
1t is understood that the board has
taken these suggestions up with the
present Legislature and a bill has
been introduced by Assemblyman

mony tending to show that Demo-
cratic campaign contributors were

State Highway Commission. was ad-
duced today in the Osborne graft in
quiry
Dudley E. Van Writ, a contractor,
testified that in 1911 his company con-
tributed $500 to the Democratic cam
paign fund and received contracts of
about $4,000. In 1912, after contribu-
ting $4,000, they got contracts approx
imating 10000. All of these con-
tracts were signed by First Deputy
Charles F. Foley, of the highway
commission and not by the highway
commissioners
In the opinion of Commissioner
James w Osborne both the testi-
mony taken today and at the former
hearing tends to show that John A.
Benzel, State engineer; Duncan w.
Peck. State superintendent of public
works, and c. Gordon Reel, former
State superintendent of highways,
were guilty of neglect of duty in
approving 31S maintenance contracts,
involving $9,000.O00, which were
awarded by Foley.
The minutes of the highway depart
ment were presented in evidence.
The records showed that the minutes
of October %, 1912, when 31S con-
tracts We're approved, never were
signed. The secretary of the depart
ment testified that the reason they
were not signed was because the
members of the commission could not
agree on their contents.

CLAIM d.. & ".
STILL IN ILLEGAL
COMBINE ON COAL
Govt Attempts to Show That
R. R. Hasn't Complied With
Commodities Clause.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-Did the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company comply with the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
commodities clause case when it dis
associated itself from the sale of coal
it produced from the anthracite coal
lands it owns, was the point to be
decided when this case came up for
argument today in the United States
Distriet Court The suit was filed
in the District court at Trenton a
year ago and was brought by the
government, which alleges that con-
tract exists in violation of the COM
modities clause between the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail-
road and the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Coal Company. The
government asks that the contracts
be dissolved
The Lackawanna Railroad Com
pany has the charter right to own
and mine coal. 1t is q violation o.
the commodities clause for a rail-
road to transport any article manu-
factured or produced in which it has
an interest. The Supreme Court up
held the constitutionality of the
clause and subsequently, the Della
Company was created. This concern
purchases at the mouth of the mine
the coal mined by the railroad. The
coal is then shipped over the Lacka-
wanna Railroad Just as If the coal
had not changed hands.
The case is considered of great i'm
portance in the governments effort
to break up what it considers a
in the anthracite coal in
dustry. Frederic r. Coudert and W
T. Kingsbury, special assistants to
the attorney-general. appeared for the
and John G. johnson
and W. S. Jenner represented the de-
fendants. Attorneys from other cor
porations watched the proceedings.
Mr. Coudert opening the argument
for the government said there was
no real conflict of material facts in
volved in the case. but rather a ques-
tion of law and the Interpretation of
certain inferences.
"The question before the court, :"
said Mr.. Coudert, SIS of the highest
Importance to the people and their
This court must decide
whether the commodities clause Is a
great remedial statute or whether 1t
is a wholly vain and nugatory act.
''If this arrangement between the
railroad and the coal company is
to stand then goes the COM
modities clause. Its failure will be
a great monument to the impotency of
Congress to enact remedial legisla-
tion for the benefit of the people"

LEGALITY Of BOND
SALE is ATTACKED
Seek to Have Sale of $500, 900
Market Issue Set
Aside.

Chief Justice William S. Gummere
last night granted a rule to show
cause why the sale of 500, 900 worth of
market bonds should not be declared
illegal. The rule was granted on the
application of Franklin w. Fort. who
contends that the act under which
the bond sale was made is illegal.
The rule to show cause is returnable
February Z.
Along with the attack on the sale
of the bonds Mr.. Fort stated he will
also apply for a writ of certiorari for
the sake of reviewing the award of
the contract for the building of the
new market TO the Essex Construc-
ton Company.
Mr. Fort said that he was acting
on behalf of John L. Armitage. Pres
ident of the Woodrow Wilson League,
and other citizens.
When the contract was awarded
Edward NJ. Waldron. one of the un-
successful bidders. had stated that
the building could be constructed for
$4,000 less than his original esti-
mate.
The sale Of the bonds was pri-
vate one after a New York firm of
bond lawyers mad rendered an opin-
ion questioning the validity of the
bonds. Originally the highest bid
was 103.75. and at the private sale
Adams & Co., of Boston. paid 100.25.
1t was explained by the city's finan-
cial officers that the adverse opinion
took away a certain amount of guar
antee in the eyes of the customers of
those who would buy the whole issue,
which made it very hard to dispose
of them.

Colo, and brought back. Despite this
act and assertions by the police that
1t was not his first offiense against the

made himself surety to the police
that Curry would offend no more.
