Mr. Alvin L. Newmeyer, a well
known attorney Of Washington, D O.,
while enroute from that city to La
Plata on Monday last had narrow es-
cape from being killed when his car
turned turtle near Waldorf and
eaughs him nuder the machine. He
was badly cut and bruised on his limbs
and head but miraculousiy, was not
dangerously hurt He was placed in
another car and brought to La Plata
where Dr.. owen gave him the neces-
sary medical attention. The aceideot
was caused by the breaking Of the
stearng gear which made the car skid
and overturn
Mr.. Kroaheim. who was deiving
the machine, escaped with only a
severe shaking up, but the car was so
badly injured that "Dr. Lynch' will
have considerable trouble, if ever, t.
put it again In commission.
Mr.. NeWmeyer is attorney for Eugene
Hall now in Jail charged with forgery
and, notwithstanding his severe in
juries was able 10 make a thorough ia
vesiigation Of the charge made against
his client. We tender sympathy to our
talented young brother, and hope that

! effects q his narrowing experience.

OBJ OBJECTS JECCTS ERECTING
COAST BULkHEAOS
Obtains Writ to Review Long,
port Ordinance = Taxes
Property Owners There.

Trenton, N. j., 4aay 10.--Allegins-
among other things, the unconstitution-
ality of the act passed at the last ses'
sion of the legislature enabling sea-
coast boroughs to erect bulkheads.
James Fl. Donnelly of Philadelphia has
obtained writ of certiorari from JUS
tice Black of the supreme court to re-
view an ordinance of Longport.
Under the ordinance, which was
adopted May 10 last, the borough In
tends to erect bulkheads with jetties to
protect the borough from the sea and
levy an assessment against property
owners for the improvements.
Mr.. Donnelly, who owns considerable
property along the ocean front in Long
port, objects to the construction Of such
work and refuses to be assessed for al
legged betterments.
He contends that the act is special
and therefore unconstitutional, also
that the work contemplated is not OF
character that permits an assessment
by the municipality for benefits. In eff
feet Mr.. Donnelly asserts that 1t would
result in the taking Of private property
for private purposes.

Baby Mine" is the funniest play

ceed Senator William E. Ramsey,
now a member of the State Water

dates have appeared on both sides

| Among the Republicans being men
toned for the nomination are for
mer Assemblyman John F. Ten

SUMMING SUMMING UP VI IN IN
7. R.-BARNEs CASE
Colonefis Greatly Pleased With
Final Fling at His Foe on
the Witness Stand.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 19.-The evh
dence In William Barnes bitter per-
sonal, political and legal quarrel with
Theodore Roosevelt Is In to the last
word. Each man has done his utmost
to ruin the other.
Today is being devoted to summing
up by William NJ. Twins for Mr.. Barnes.
and by John NJ Bowers for Colonel
Roosevelt. Tomorrow morning Justice
Andrews viii deliver his charge to the
jury. While these addresses, particu-
larly the latter. may play some part
In influencing the verdict of the jury.
the issue at the heart Of the case can
not be changed And this Is the ques-
ton of veracity between Mr.. Barnes
and the colonel. One of the two has
told the truth. One has not. Is 1t
possible for the jury to decide? Many
people think 1t isn't.
The turn of the case gave Roose-
welt the last word. final chance to
impress the jury with his personality.
He grasped the opportunity gleefuliy
and earnestly. He was thoroughly
elated when Mr.. Bowers forced Mr..
Barnes to admit that the shares OF
stock Mr.. Barnes had In the j. B..
Lyon company and finally sold for
100000 cost him nothing, but were a
gift due to his ability to get printing
contracts. This admission and the
further admission from Mr. Barnes
that there had been an agreement be-
tween him and Mr.. Lyon that he
should have sc, 900 salary for passing
the Mccarthy printing contract to
Lyon put the colonel In high good hu-
NOR and gave him all the stimulation
he needed to deliver what William
Loeb called ''the last kick"

Shakespeare was, unlike the drama

Gilpin-he had a frugal mind" When
fortune shone upon him In London he
kept retired and saved money, and it
is to this self chosen obscurity that
may be attributed the fact that so lit

years from his coming to London
that is, in 1597-he was beginning to
make purchases of property in his ma
