TELLS Of SMITHS
STOCK DEALINGS
Josiah R. Clair Says Former
Treasurer Of Wrecked Bank
Was Heavy Investor.

How Raymond E. Smith, former
treasurer of the defunct Roseville
Trust Company, obtained some of his
mining stock was explained in the
court today by Josiah R.
Clair, of Orange, organizer of the
Frisco Mines and Power Company
and the Fresnal Mines Company.
Clair said he knew Smith very well
when the former bank treasurer was
in an Orange bank. Later when
Smith became more successful and
secured the position of treasurer Of
the Roseville Bank, Mr.. Clair then
sold him 5000 shares of the Frisco
company at twenty cents a share.
Smith paid $1,000 cash for the stock.
Later he bought $4,000 more Of the
same stock of the company.
Shortly after that Mr.. Clair sold
out his interest In the company and
retired from 1t, resigning from the

however, retained his stock in the

Mr.. Clair declared the Fresnal COM
pany was now practically defunct,
but the stock had some value because
the company had valuable water

The company was organized in Ar

Clair said the property owned by the

BOY IS AWARDED
S162 FOR INJURY
Judge Rules That Disobedience
of Order Does Not Bar
Him from Damages.

In an opinion filed today Judge
Harry V. Osborne held that the mere
disobedience of an order by an en-
ployee would not put him outside OF
the scope of his employment and
ages under the employers liability
act. In making his ruling the Judge
allowed Alfred Kreutz, boy of sew
enteen, thirty-six weeks compensa-
ton at $3.50 a week for injuries he
sustained in the plant of the r. Neu-
man Company, st. Francis street.
Kreutz was employed in the ship
ping room of the factory on February
13 last. His foreman ordered him to
fetch some material from another de-
partment. This Kreutz proceeded to
do. He used truck to wheel the
material on the elevator and then
started the elevator himself.
His heel caught between the wall
and the face of the lift. His foot and
leg was injured. The Neumann COM
pany in answer to Kruetz's petition
for compensation denied that the in
juries arose out OF the course of his
employment. Warning notices and
instructions not to touch any part of
the elevator mechanism had been
given the boy and other employees, it
was testified.
In his opinion Judge Osborne cited
recent cases under the English
liability and compensation act, after
which the New Jersey statute Is
fashioned. The court held in one of
these cases, and Judge Osborne con-
ours in it's finding, that If a man is
ordered to do something and sets
about doing 1t, although his method
may be improper and against the
rules of the employer, he is In the
course of his employment, unless he
arrogates to himself some duty that
is not his, such as the running of an
elevator.
In the present case the court is of
the belief that young Kreutz did not
take upon himself duty that was
not his, as previous to the accident
he and other employees had been in
the custom of operating the elevator
in doiuS their various tasks.

Telegraph Lineman Dives
Through Ice and Rescues
Little Boy from the Canal

John Buggar, four years old, of SOB
Market street, who broke through
the ice and fell into the Morris canal
near Jersey street late yesterday aft
ernoon, but was rescued as he went
down for the last time by John Nor
ton, a lineman, is at the City Hos
pital recovering from the effects of
the experience. He will be able to
go home in a few days.
Morton was working on the top
of a telegraph pole, fixing wires
owned by the Postal Telegraph Com
pany. He heard the ice break and
saw a dark object fioundering in the
water and then disappear. At first
he thought it was a dog, but when it
reappeared he saw it was a boy. He
slid down the pole, and without re-
moving his climbing irons or any of
the heavy iron tools which hung on
his belt he plunged into the icy
water. The broken ice hampered his
movements somewhat, but ne let
himself sink to the bottom, where he
saw the dim form of the boy lying
on the mud under six feet of water.
He brought the lad to the surface
and made his way to the bank, and
then to the office of the gas works,
where he and II. II. Ferris, an en-
gineer, resorted to artificial respira-
ton. The City Hospital ambulance
was summoned and a call sent for
the Public Service pulmotor. When
DR.. Thomas M. PASCAL arrived with
the pulmotor the efforts of the res
cuers had already been successful
and the boy was taken to the hos
pital.
Just how the lad happened to fall
into the canal is not known, but 1t
Is thought that he ventured out on
the thin ice thinking 1t was thick
enough to bear his weight.

capital of the State will be consider
ably beautified 1t is estimated that

clude the raising of the platform
near the tracks to the level of the
vestibule coaches; the construction of
a modern system of elevators and
separation of the baggage and ex-
press departments, which is expected

Very Light Sentences Urged
by Zabern Case Prosecutor

STRASSBURG, Germany, Jan. s.
VERY light sentences" were proposed
today by the prosecutor in the cases
of the German officers now under trial
for illegal assumption of authority
in connection with the Zabern Incl
dent.

and the pleas for the prosecution and
defense the Judge advocate (acting as
prosecutor), suggested that Colonel
Won Reuter-, commander of the
ninety-ninth infantry. should be sent
to Jail for seven days on the charge
OF wrongful Imprisonment. For Lieu
tenant Schad, he said, sentence of
three days in jail for assault was
sufficient. The other charges were
dropped.

the appeal of Lieutenant Baron Won
Forstner, who was sentenced to forty
three days Imprisonment on Decem-
Der 10 for sabringsa crippled shoe

Extension Method of
Examination Urged by
Wiener, of Central High

Principal William Wiener, OF the
Central High School, will use the
extension method of examinations
this year. He believes the old method
of examining q student by a three
hour endurance test Is hardly eff
cient, and does not disclose a pupils
actual knowledge of the work.
Under the new system an exami-
nation in any subject will extend
over an entire week. Thus at each
recitation three questions will be
given, two of which must be an
swered by the end OF the recitation
period, an hour.
Professor Wiener hopes to increase
in this monner the scholarship of the
school, and also to do away with
the waste days, cramp and grind pc
riod now noticeable under the old
regime of examinations.
The senior examinations will not be-
included under the new system this
term.

Assessment Hearing of

by Street Paving Argument

The public hearing at the Board of
Works rooms to discuss the question
of assessments in connection with
the paving of Broad street came near
developing into a discussion Of the
merits of wood block and granite
block as paving propositions, when
Joshua Brierley insisted on taking
the board to task for failure to heed
the protests of citizens against wood
block pavement.
President Charles F. Kraemer, Of
the board, explained that the meeting
was for the purpose of considering
assessments only, but Mr.. Brierley
was equally insistent on accusing the
board of bad faith in ordering wood
block pavement for Broad street.
Rev. John S. Miller stopped the dis
cussion by asking information about
assessments, and Mr.. Kraemer then
explained the three rates that will be
in effect in connection with the pave
ment. These rates are $275, 1925 and
$375 per lot of twenty five-foot 'front.'

the difference in the width of Broad
