which lasted over an hour. The
Madison man started the match with
a slight cut on the wrist, and 1t is

RAILROAD WINS
MADISON FIGHT
Council Secretly Decides to
Close RidgedaIe Avenue, the
Point of Contest.
Especial to the evening star.I


MADISON, March 13.-It leaked
out today that the Borough Council
met In executive session on Wednes-
day night and decided to close Ridge
dale avenue.
The decision Is the result of long
controversy between the city and the
officials of the Lackawanna railroad
In connection with the elimination of
grade crossings here and is considered
to be a concession on the part of the
Council.
The outcome of the Councils de-
liberation of the question was not
learned until today. The vote on the
Pierson and De Hart voting in OPP
position to the plan to close the street
and Vandewater, Holmes, Snyder and
McEwan favoring the proposition.
The plan to close Ridgedale avenue
was submitted as the measure neces-
sary- for the solution of the grade
crossing problem. Residents of the
street fought bitterly against the plan
at the last session of the Council on
Saturday evening, when the Council
met to confer with them on the sub
ject. The protesting residents are
George Cook, Alexander T. Crane,
James e. Burnet, James Gardner, Ed
ward Schmidt and Edward II. Holden.
They all maintained that the closing
of the street would be detriment to
them.
There was a deadlock between the
railroad and the town officials, the
former refusing absolutely to con-
slider the suggestion to raise the grade
about four feet owing to the added
expense 1t would incur. 1t is believed
that the action taken by the Council
was in the form of concession to
the railroad. In the meanwhile it is
rumored that the residents of Ridge
dale avenue may appeal to the Public
Utility Commission.

to march. He frequently gave such
orders as halt" right about face"
and march" Bland caused unre-
strained laughter when in ansewr to
a question by Lawyer Walsh as to
who had paid his expenses in return
ing to this city or who had or was
going to pay him for his time, he re-
piled that IT haven't seen anything

OF Sergeant John p. Murphy, said he
is now living in Swedesboro, this
State. In his testimony he told how
the stranger had frequently jabbed
Deer George In the ribs with his gun
and how he had been forced to stop
the car on the ride to heat his
hands," they were so benumbed with
the cold that he could not steer the
machine. George, Bland testified,

they passed another car, when the

Mayor Bergen decided yesterday to
have the trial open to the public, and
long before o'clock the city clerks
office and the mayors office were
crowded with citizens The trial of
the officers was the first in the his
tory of the police department or this
city. Should Mayor Bergen find the
men guilty of the charges and dis
miss them from the department 1T
was announced by their counsel last
night that the cases will be carried
to the Supreme Court.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Cannon and George, who appeared
in uniform, went on duty on their re-
spective beats"
1t was admitted by Mr.. Williams
and the lawyers for the officers that
decision in the case rests on the in
depreciation of the word "incapac-
ity." Mr.. williams contended that
"incapacity" is a broad term and
covers incompetence or dereliction
on the part of the officers in the per-
Torrance of their duty on the night
of February 81. Lawyer Walsh
quoted Webster's definition of the
word 'incapacity" as being Tack of
power, physical or mental defects or
legal disqualification" neither of
which, MIR. Walsh argued. was shown
by the accused officers.
