MAYOR MAKES
HIS ANSWER IN
RECEIVER SUIT
Admits Company's Liability,
but Tells How He Was
Hampered.

An answer filed by Mayor Thomas
Healy Contracting Company, was
filed today in Chancery in the pro-
ceeding begun on behalf of the
Manufacturers Coal Company, a
Delaware corporation. to recover
$S5073 due for coal supplied to carry
on the contracts of the company. AS
the answer admitted the liability,
John j. Lynn, solicitor for the coal
company, agreed to dismissal of
the petition.
The admission of the liability
coupled with the declaration of Mr..
Raymond that he had no assets with
which to pay the claim, and the con-
sent of Ernest Lum, his lawyer, to
have Mr.. Lynn go over the receivers
books and vouchers, made the peti-
tion unnecessary,
Mr.. Raymond's answer put new
light on the conditions that arose in
his receivership and subjected him to
financial embarrassment. 1t was
stated that he intended to bring two
suits, the result of which might ma
terially add to the assets and put
him in a position to pay all of the
VI tut I1SdiS NOiiPdhy.
The first of these suits is against
the Passaic Valley Sewer Commits
sion. This, the receiver says, arises
out of the contract. 1t was stated
at the time the contract was made
that the section o. sewer on which
the Healy company bid was entirely
of sand formation. 1t was so repre-
sented when Mr.. Raymond took hold
of the lob as receiver.
When the excavation was begun
it was discovered that all that had
to be cut away was of solid rock.
This not only necessitated an en-
tire change of tools to be used but
involved a much greater expense
than the contractor had assumed
when the bid was made. In addi-
tion to this had it been only neces-
sary to excavate sand what was
taken away could be sold at con-
siderable profit The fault, or mis-
take, is ascribed entirely to the en-
gineers of the sewer commission.
TIL second suit proposed to be be-
gun is against the Nassau Bank OF
New York. The receiver alleges that
this institution agreed to purchase
from him $4,000 in receivers certifi-
Gates In order that he might be en-
abled to proceed with the contract.
The bank failed to keep the agree
ment and he therefore had no money
to proceed. He proposes to seek
damages from the bank for breach
Of contract.

COUNSEL
WORSTS FLINT IN
SEVERE GR|LL|NG
Alienist Charges Whites SIay-
er Tried to Hypnotic Him
on Stand.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-"Thaw's S
own best Witness" was the general
verdict today when DR.. Austin Flint,
the States star alienist, stepped down
from the witness stand after q stormy
and gruelline cross examination in
Harry K. Thaw's sanity trial. John
b. Stanchfield, Thaw's chief counsel,
fairly bombarded Flint with en-
barrassing questions. The alienist
was worsted in tilts time and again,
while Thaw looked on interestedly,
his face showing his glee.
On just one point was Stanchfield
stumped by Flint. The alienist chung
steadfastly to his assertion on direct
examination that "Thaw is now and
always has been hopelessly incur
able paranoiac" Thaw's counsel fired
a dozen questions at Flint on that
subject. and always received the
same affirmative answer. Thaw lost
his interest in Stanchfield's exami-
nation at such times, busying himself
with books.
Flint caused a mild sensation in
the court-room when he was asked
inst before he was excused whether
he regarded Thaw normal at present.
mo, | don't" he said II wouldn't
call his efforts to hypnotic me right
here in the courtroom those of a
normal man.
In the laughter that went up
Thaws voice could be plainly heard,
'.Do YOU mean that Thaw has tried
to hypnotize you here?" asked Justice
Hendrick.
"Yes | do" said the alienist. He
has sat and looked at me for fifteen
minutes straight. That is one of his
delusions.''

HARRINGTON TO
PRISON; NEW
TRIAL DENIED
Appeal for Writ of Habeas Cor
pus Refused by Federal
Judge Haight.

Cornelius j. Harrington, former pro-
prietor of the Hotel Navarro, must go
to State prison In Trenton tonight to
commence his term of two years i'm
prisonment for maintaining a disor-
derly house. Judge Thomas G. Haight
denied an application for writ OF
habeas corpus in the Newark branch
of the United States District Court
today, saying that to do so would be
to open the doors of the Federal
courts to every person convicted in
the State courts. No new issue was
presented by former Judge Thomas S.
Henry, counsel for Harrington, Judge
Haight said. After the decision,
Judge Henry said that he did not
know what next step he would take.
In his latest application Harrington
pointed out that his rights under the
constitution were violated at the trial.
The chief feature of alleged illesa al
treatment was the arrest In court OF
Gustave Freund, a witness for the
defense.
This action indicated to the jury
that Judge William p. Martin be-
perjury continued the petition. When
counsel objected to this proceedings
the presiding judge gave a severe
lecture to the lawyer, another fact
which Influenced the jury against the
defendant, 1t was stated
It was recited how the jury was
dismissed from the court room, but
not before part of the judges attack
on defending counsel had been heard
by jurors. When the jury returned
the lawyer was unable to defend the
case properly, as a result of the i'm
preston created that the judge was
angry with counsel, stated the petit
tion.
Another reason given for applying
for the writ was the prosecutor S
action in seizing books and other
property of Harrington's at the hotel.
This also was a violation of his con-
stitutional rights. said the petition.

BY unanimous vote of those pres
ent the name of the Raymond
Schmidt Club of the Ironbound, dis
trict was changed to the Ralph b.
Schmidt Republican Club at a meet
ing in Haeusler's Hall, Hamburg
place and Ferry street. last night.
The meeting was said to be of the
members of the Schmidt
Club, but none of the elected officers
or the original formers of the club
were present.
The session last night was a sequel
to a meeting held several months ago,
when the men who conducted last
nights affair attempted at that time
to change the name Of the organiza-
ton. but were foiled by the action of
Frederick c. Breidenbach, the presi-
dent, who is also president of the Po
lice Board, in adjourning to meet at
the call of the chair The insurgent
members of the club sent Mr.. Breid-
enbach who holds the presidency of
the Fire Commission in the Raymond
administration, registered letter
last week demanding that he call a
meeting for last night. He ignored
the letter, declaring that the signers
were not a majority and that some
of them were not in good standing.
Raymondites Remain Away.
Apparently the Raymond men took
their cue from Breidenpach, for one
and all stayed away from the
meeting place last night. No doubt
they will dispute the action of last
night and claim that the Raymond
Schmidt Club still exists, but in the
view of those present last night the
Raymond Schmidt Club is dead and
in it's place lives the Ralph b.
Schmidt Republican Club.
Former Alderman Anton j. ReitZ,
who presided last night, gave the
club what it never had before, a con-
stitution and bylaws. In the con-
stitution the name of the club was
given as the Raymond Schmidt Club
of the Ironbound district. 1t was
then a simple matter to have the
word Raymond" stricken out anc
Ralph b." added in front of Schmidt
and the word Republican" after
Schmidt.
Before adopting the constitution
Reitz appointed Charles Bell CORE
spending secretary, Edgar 3. Smith
as financial secretary, and G. r
Schmidt ais treasurer.

orderly and as properly as we can

JlTNEY MAN WILL DRAFT

City Officials Want to Be Pro-
tected in Loss of Trolley

The case of the jitney owners In
this city was discussed very freely
with Mayor Raymond this morning
at a conference between the mayor
and City Counsel Spaulding Frazer,
representing the city. and Paul G.
Roder, as counsel for the Jitney Ser
vice Association, and William J. Nor
gan, one of the jitney association 8
board of directors, representing the
jitney owners. Both city officials said
they believed in the jitney as a mode
of travel and thought 1t should be
encouraged. The jitney representa-
tives, on the other hand. told the
mayor their views on licensing and
regulations, and declared that the
proposed license fee of City Counsel
Frazer was too high
AS the result of the conference 1t
may be that the minimum jitney Ii
cense fee will be placed at $3.50 and
the maximum at SIS. From this
amount, if agreed upon, shall be de-

1t was declared that whatever IL

Der or later in the fall.
Attorney Roder called attention to
the fact that there was much con-
fusion among Jitney drivers as to
traffic rules, and said that many driV-
ers were being arrested daily for al
legged violations. Mr.. Morgan de-
clared that a man constantly In feaI
of arrest Is so nervous that his ability
properly to guide bus is seriously

1t was considered possible that Eng
land, at least, might waive her rights
under this section and consent to the
transfer of the liners to the American
flag by bonafide purchase, with the
understanding that besides passen-
gers the liners should be used to carry
contraband, including munitions, to
English ports. Officials would not
comment upon this possibility, but 1t
Is known that in some quarters the
feeling exists that the allies erred at
the beginning of the war in not per-
mitting the outright purchase of in

pointed out that had these transfers
been allowed, several German ships
might now be engaged in the business
of carrying war supplies to the allies.

PROMPT ACTION URGED
BY WEST ORANGE MAN
Suggests Experimental Station
Where Ideas Could Be
Tried Out.

Thomas A. Edison. the electrical
wizard, of West Orange, and Orville
Wright. the aviator, will be among
the members of the naval bureau Of
invention Secretary Daniels is organ
izing, it was understood in navy cir
cles today
Edison will devote himself especially
to submarine development, it was
said; Wright, naturally to problems
of flight.
Neither will be limited to any par
ticular field, according to officers in
touch with the navy secretary g
plans, but it was acknowledged that
Nhe regards the submarine and the
aeroplane as the two things calcu-
lated to play the most important part
in the sea warfare of the future, and
il especially desirous that they re-
ceive the most thorough attention by
the new board.
: Official notification that Thomas A.
Edison will serve gladly on civilian
board of naval invention and develop
ment reached Secretary Daniels today,
M. r. Hutchinson. the inventors per-
sonal representative, presented the
latter's acceptance.
Edison, he said, had refrained from
offering his services in the past, but
now felt that he was called on to per-
form a sacred duty for the country
he loves, and will send a letter in a
few days expressing his appreciation
of the honor the secretary has con-
ferred on him.
A naval revolution as important
as the one caused by the Monitor s
inven,1on was predicted by Secretary
Daniels as result of his success in
enlisting Edison as the department 8
adviser, What changes will have oc-
CURED in naval equipment and
methods within three years he de-
clared If impossible to forecast.
The lessons taught by the Euro
pean war, he said have made radical
steps forward necessary, and the
United States has decided to call her
forces into requisition to meet the
demand
The invitation to Edison to head a
board of investigator followed con
ference between Secretary Daniels
and Admirals Griffin. Straus and
Taylor, heads respectively of the
steam engineering, ordnance and
construction and repair bureaus.
In Secretary Daniels's opinion the
navy will go forward by leaps as
soor as the new board gets down to
business.
With Edison as the navy's exper'

Concerning the balance of the bu-

rotary will consult Edison himself
That he had made a definite offer
to the latter was not known until the
fact was made public that he would
accept, but the suggestion for the
board was made some time ago
Ever since then the navy head has
been turning the subject over in his
mind and finally having fully ma
