Celebrates Twenty-seventh
Anniversary of Service in
States Judicial Department

Wickliffe B. Sayre. sergeant-at-
arms in Chancery chambers, today
celebrated the twenty an
niversary of his appointment. Mr..
Sayre was sworn in as sergeant-at-
arms July l, 1887, and has held that
position continuously ever since.
Since his appointment by Vice
Chancellor Van Fleet, Mr.. Sayre has
seen his court expand in power and
strength. When he first entered the
service of the State one chancellor
and two vice-ehancellors did all of the
work coming before the court. There
are now eight viee-chancellors aiding
the chancellor. and they have more
than they can easily handle in cases
that come before them.
In point of service. Mr.. Sayre is
one of the senior officers in the
States judicial department. He said
today that it did not seem to him
that he had spent more than q quar-
ter of a century in the service of the
state. He was reminded, though, he
said, that there is no judge sitting
today who was in office when he was
appointed. Justice Garrison, dean of
the judges, was elevated to his
present position in 1888.
Mr.. Sayre has become acquainted
with nearly every lawyer practising
in the State of New Jersey. His uni
form courtesy and helpfulness has
made firm friends for him among all
the attorneys and newspaper men
whose business take them into his
court.

ACTING AS HIS OWN
LAWYER, WINS CASE
Jury Finds for James B. Fur
Der, Sued by Brokers in
Sale of Paper.

Acting as his own lawyer, James u.
Furber, ex-mayor of Railway, con-
WINGED jury in Circuit Court yester-
day afternoon that he was in the
right in refusing to pay $S75 commits
sion 10 New j ork brokers for selling
the Railway News-Herald for him.
The jury reached its verdict in Mr..
Furber's favor after celebrating
twenty minutes.
Harwell, Cannon & Mccarthy. the
brokers, sued Mr. Furber for the
amount named as their commission
for disposing of his paper to the Rah-
way Record Company. Mr.. Furber
contended that he made the sale him
self.
The plaintiffs declared they brought
the purchaser and Mr.. Furber to-
gether and that the sale was made
eight months later. This Mr. Furber
denied and said he made the sale on
his own initiative, although he had
asked the brokers to ind a purchaser
for him.
The case was so simple, Mr. Furber
explained, that he thought he didn't
need lawyer and could try it himself.
After the. jury brought in its verdict
the ex-mayor took exceptions to
stories in the newspapers about what
he said in his summing up to the
Jury

NEWARK WATER
SUIT ON AGAIN
Case May Go from chancery to
Supreme Court If It Is Not
Too Involved.

ice-Chancellor Stevens today heard
argument in the proceedings brought
by the city of Newark against the
East Jersey Water Company, the
Jersey City Water Company and sew
eral other corporations and munich
palities. The various companies and
communities defendants in the suit
obtain their water supply from the
upper reaches of the Passaic.
The object of the proceeding is to
have Chancery determine the dues
ton of liability for damages to ripa-
rian owners, because of the diminu-
ton of water supply.
Objection was made that the case
was of a nature that should be SUBJ
mitted to jury. Ex-Judge Gilbert
Collins, of Jersey City, however,
commended that the jurisdiction was
absolute and that in the course of the
case questions would arise that would
be too involved for a jury to deter
mine.
If the vice. chancellor determines
that Judge Collins is right in his CON-
tention. testimony will be taken.
Otherwise. the case will be sent to the
Supreme Court for trial
The argument is still on

Hold Conference to
Decide on Price for
Meadow Fill Haulage

liz an effort to decide on a price to
be paid for hauling ashes and other
filling material to the meadow land,
conference is being held today be-
tween Deputy City Engineer James
C. Hallock and H. Milton Kennedy,
general manager for Joseph Marrone,
the city scavenger.
In the event that price cannot be
fixed by these men, then a neutral
party will be named. They in turn
will then fix the price. This method
of naming the price per load is ac-
cording to the city garbage contract.
Several weeks ago Marrone asked
for 1888 per month for the extra
haulage to the meadow reclamation
work This scheme was placed on the
table until last meeting. After a
short discussion it was decided to fix
the price by conference.
The work must be done at once, as
the dredges are distributing vast
quantities of filling.

SEVEN SAVED
FROM DROWNING


! collision the Energetic and mud scow
sank to the bottom of the river, which
is about fifteen feet deep at that
point
When it was seen that the Ener-
getic was filling as fast as the scow
the crew of the tug leaped over
board. Charles Broad, cook on the
Energetic, climbed to the pilot house
and jumped aboard the Virginia
Jackson, which stood nearby Others
of the Energetic's crew were Bernard
Witkowski and Ralph Hendricks
The Energetic now lies off the foot
of Brill street, with only the top of
her pilot house and smoke stack
above the water. Ralph Hendricks,
deck hand who lost all his cloth
ing, was the only person saved from
the wreck who had anything to say.
Captain West refused to make any
statement, other than he was not au-
thorized to say anything.
1t was said that Captain West, of
the wrecked Energetic, was asleep
when the crash came. He was forced
to jump into the water with the rest
of the crew when the tug sank. The
Energetic is owned by the Tice Tow
ing Line, of IL Battery place, New
1OTk Guy.
Howard B. Hague of the Tice Line,
today declared that the Energetic was
worth $4,000. He added that as an
official of the concern he did not care
to make any statement in regard to
the collision. Mr.. Hague said that a
wrecking boat would be sent out at
once to raise the Energetic and tow
her into dock. He believes that in
few weeks the boat will be repaired
and ready to resume work on the
Passaic.
Captain Absley is thirty eight years
old and native of this city. He said

CANCEL BONDS IN
ASSAULT CASE
Couple Facing Serious Charge
Allowed Liberty on Own
Recognizance.

A charge of assault and battery in
volvlng a statutory offense against
Joseph Bailey, 81 Columbia street, and
Mrs. Katherine Morley. IA South Six
tenth street that has been hanging
fire in the county criminal courts
since February %, 1912, was practi-
cally disposed of today when Judge
William p. Martin cancelled the bail
bonds of Bailey and Mrs. Morley and
released them on their own recogni-
zance to appear when wanted for
trial.
That they will never be wanted was
tacitly admitted in the prosecutor
office today when the question of re-
lease on personal recognizance came
up. In February, 1912, Bailey and
Mrs. Morley were charged with hav-
ing committed a serious offense
against a young girl named Loretta
Brady.
The Brady girl fled after the arrest
of Bailey and Mrs. Morley. After
considerable search she was located
in New York city. She was brought
back to this city and the case marked
for an early trial. But it has never
come to trial for the simple reason
LAoi tic AtdNO was iiC'SA ACoNaJ -
press the charges.
The case has been listed for trial
fully two dozen times, but each time
something would happen to prevent
the trial. Once or twice an adjourn
ment was obtained on behalf of the
defendants, but more generally it was
the State that would request the adj
journment
Today the case was set down for
trial in Quarter Sessions court before
Judge Harry V. Osborne, but the lat
ter was engaged in the trial of MUIR
der charge and could not handle II.
1t was the understanding of Frank
M. McDermit, counsel for Bailey, and
of Henry Hahn, counsel for Mrs. Nor
ley, that if the case was not ready
for trial today, the indictment was TO
be quashed. The prosecutor refused
to make this motion.
The lawyers then went before Judge
Martin and after stating again the
facts to him, it being about the TWEEN
tieth time the same set of facts have
been related, Judge Martin ordered
the bail of $4,000 each, in which Mrs.
Morley and Bailey had been held. re-
leased and their personal recognize
ances taken in its stead.
No reason has ever been given by
the prosecutors Office for failure TO
prosecute the indictment.

OWNERS
WILL DISCUSS
NEW YORK LAW
Ban Has Been Put on New Jer-
soy Animals Because
of Chambers.

Representatives of local firms that
send horse-drawn vehicles to New
York for business. use will hold meet
ing next week. The meeting will be
to discuss the new law passed in New
York relative to horses coming to
the metropolis from New Jersey and
other States Already conference
has been called for the business men
in Jersey City to band together and
a similar plan is on foot in Newark.
According to the New York law all
horses coming in from New Jersey
will be held up to ascertain If they
have CHAMBERS. The holding up of
teams is unnecessary and will be a
hardship to the merchants of this
State.
The circular sent out from New
York declares that New York is about
to institute a quarantine against all
horses coming in the State which
have not been tested with mallein
and which have not suitable ldenSI-
fication marks to readily show this
to be the case The quarantine -
already In effect against Jersey City
horses
Investigation at the Board of
Health department and at the City
Hall have disclosed the fact that no
copy of the new law has been sent
to them. The local Board of Health
have been waging war against gland
ers for several months. They keep an
accurate account OF every case and
then follow their investigation with
fumigating the stables where the af-
fiicted horses are found.
A. G. Voellzer, local manager for
the Peoples Newark and New York
Express Company, today stated that
he is not aware of the law, only
through the newspapers He has re-
ceived no official communication bear
ing on the subject.
When Mr.. Voelker was asked what
he thought of the New York law If
enforced, stated: 1T would work
hardship on a concern as large as
ours is for the first few months. We
would then become accustomed to
the change and will profit by the
law. II is about the only real way of
checking the spread of CHAMBERS"
representatives of Moneys Ex-
press Company, when seen today,
stated that they had not heard of
such law. I'VE are sending many
teams over every day and intend to-
continue. I do not believe such a.
law will ever stand" said Mr.
Mooney.
The majority of the commission
men and merchants who send horses
to New York daily. declared today
that they have not heard of any law
passed by the New York authorities
relative to CHAMBERS. Many expressed
themselves as being in favor of the
proposition, while others state it is
only "humbug."
