NO FUSION ON COURTS
Republicans Refuse Moose
Proposal for Single Ticket.

In spite of frantic attempts on the
part Of the Progressives to induce the
Republicans TO fuse on the City Court,
the latter yesterday refused, because
of the failure of the Progressives to
agree on Monday night to the proposal
to fuse both on the Supreme Court ana
the City Court.
Both Michael Schaap and Jacob r.
Schiff, the Progressive candidates, filed
their destinations Monday night. Yes
terday Jacob J. Lesser, acting Progress
siye county chairman, tried to get he
Republicans to take Schaap in return
for Progressive Endorsement of Lloyd
p. Striker, one of the Republican can

Assemblyman Schaap, and in place of
SchifF put up William j. Willard, Of

SECRET HEARING
IN STEUER CASE
Testimony in DiSbarment
Proceedings Behind
Closed Doors.

The situation seldom arises. when a
theatrical manager and. lawyer who
counts theatrical STARS" among his
clients seek to defeat the ends of pub-
llclty. Such was the case Yesterday.
however, at the first hearing on the
charges OF unprofessional conduct
against Max D. Steuer before ex-Judge
George c. Holt, appointed q referee by
the Appellate Division.
Several reporters had found their
way into Judge Hollis Office in the
.Woolworth Building and had been pay
ing close attention to the proceedings
for an hour or so when Charles +.
Mathewson, who, with John B. Stanch-
field, represented Steuer's interests,
discovered and objected to the pres
ence Of the newspaper men. William
Trayers Jerome, counsel for Abraham
l.. Erlanger, of Klaw e. Erlanger, the
complainant, acquiesing, the referee
made the. ruling that the hearings
should be held behind closed doors.
Thus was averted repetition of some
of the notoriety which had come to
both Mr.. Steuer and Mr.. Erlanger as a
result of the judgment for $4,000 OBJ
tanned by Miss Edith st. Clair, the
actress, a year ago against Klaw &
Granger, which was later set aside By
Justice Golf when Miss st. Clair re-
pudiated her testimony at the trial and
made affidavits that she had been in
structed to testify falsely by her coun-
sci, Mr.. Steuer.
The grievance committee of the Bar
Association, at the request OF the APP
pellate Division, made an investigation
of Steuer's professional conduct and
filed a report on December 4, recon-
mending the appointment of a referee
to take testimony. District Attorney
Whitman was designated to prosecute
the charges, and Robert +. Msnley, AS
sistant District Attorney, represented
him at yesterdays hearing.
Mr.. Erlanger was the first witness
yesterday. On direct examination Mr..
Jerome had his client tell the story
Of the Steuer-St. Clair-Erlsnger COM
plications. The witness said that Mr.
Steuer, accompanied by the late limo
thy D. Sullivan, came to his office dur
ing the first part Of September, 1909,
and after Sullivan left them Steuer
told him that his client, Miss st. Clair.
contemplated bringing a suit Of very
nasty nature" against him.
Erlanger told Steuer, he testified,
and simple" The lawyer urged upon
him the wisdom of settling without
delay and without notoriety. Erlsnger
finally agreed to settle and contract
was drawn in the firm name of Klaw e.
Erlanger, by which Miss st. Clair was
to receive q check for $1,000 annually
tor ten years.
Mr.. Steuer examined the witness on
cross-eXamination. He sought to show
that his relations with Erlanger had
been friendly subsequent to the St.
Clair settlement. He contended that
his call with Sullivan upon Mr.. Err
LANCER had been for the purpose of
getting Erisnger as friendly witness
in a suit which he was bringing for
Sullivan. The witness declared that
the call Mr.. Steuer referred to was
early in August. Mr. Steuer intimated
that he would show that Sullivan was
not in the city during August Mr.
Erlsnger proved stubborn witness
under SteUeT's cross-examinatioa,

The widespread discussion OF Stone
wall Jacksonss birthplace seems to
have resulted In considerable inter-
est and no small degree OF good,
since the concensns leaves no doubt
that the famous general first saw the
hight OF day at Clarksburg. The Park
ersburg State journal, with disin-
terested patriotism, has, without max
ing any unreasonable assertion in
support Of the theory that Jackson
was born at Parkersburg, given both
sides Of the case, and analysis of the
evidence gives Clarksburg the vic
tory.
The Clarksburg Telegram quotes
from Godspeed's history Of Northern
West Virginia, as follows:
Thomas J. Jackson, the noted gem
eral, more familiarly known as
sStonewall'' Jackson, was born in
Clarksburg, w. Va, January 81, 1924.
His eat-grandfather came to this
country from London, England, In
1T4S, and in Maryland was married
to Elizabeth Cummings. soon after
which he moved to West Virginia,
'Wnere ne founded large family.
When seven. years old, Thomas j.
Jackson was left an orphan by the
death OF his father, who. was a law
yer, and for Short time thereafter
he made his home with his paternal
aunt, Mrs. Brake, but objecting to the
treatment OF his uncle, he took shell
ter under the roof OF a half-brother
of his father, Cummings Jackson, in
Lewis county. p
