Laws Receiver to Jltneys.

-NJ
Clarence L. Cole, of Atlantic City,
was appointed receiver for the Allan
tic City & Shore Railroad Company
in the United States District Court.
Creditors applied for the receiver, and
the company in an answer said that
unrestricted competition of jitney
'busses along the company's lines had
caused a loss of $780, 900. Five years
prior to 1915 the company said it earn
ed 5000, 900 a year.
The complainant, H. F. Bachman
& Company, alleged the road is in
debted to the West Jersey & Sea-
shore Railroad for $4,000 has out
standing bonds of $3.50. 900 and cannot
pay interest of $23,855 due on the
bonds on December 1 because of its
financial embarrassment. The com
plainant also averred that the road
is being operated at g loss of $500 a
day.
An order was allowed by Judge
Rellstab requiring the company to
show cause why the appointment of
the receiver should not be made per
manent. The company owns two
miles of track in Atlantic City and
operates cars on the tracks of the
West Jersey & Seashore Railroad
from the Inlet to Longport and to
Somers Point and Ocean City.

SAYS WAR DOES
NOT AFFECT LAW
Chief Justice Gummere Hears
Appeal of German Company
WIRELESS PLANT AT STAKE
Appeal Taken from Chancery Ruling
Giving Tuckerton Station to the
Frenchmen-Say it Cuts Ger
many From World.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton.-Upon the ground that it
is no business for a neutral govern
ment to help one beIigerent to isolate
another, the Court of Errors and APP
peals was asked to set aside a de-
rec of the Court of Chancery direct
ing a German corporation to fulfill a
contract made to sell the wireless sta
ton at Tuckerton to French interests.
up to this contract would be to allow
France to isolate Germany, accord
ing to Robert. H. McCarter and Sam
uel Untermyer, who argued the Ger
man side of the case before the
court.
The suit was begun by the Com
pagnie UniverSelle de Telegraphie ct
de Telephone Sans Fill, a corporation
of France, to compel the United States
Service Corporation, Hoch Frequenz-
Maschinen Aktiengesellschaft fur
drahtlose Telegraphie, Rudolph Gold
schmidt and Emil e. Mayer to live up
to a contract which was made before
the European war began. The con
tract was made in Paris, September
80, 1912, and by it the German COM
pany was to sell the Tuckerton sta
ton and its patents to the French
concern. The station connects only
with a station at Eilvese, in the prov
ince of Hanover, Germany, which also
is claimed by the French company to
be included in the contract.
Vice Chancellor Stevens decided
hat the fact that a state>of war ex-
lists between Germany and France
was no reason why the contract
should not be carried out. 1t was con-
tended before the Court of Errors
thst, to decide this case in favor of
the French company would be to wrest
from the hands of Germany her only
practicable mean of communication
with the United States and with all
the rest of the western world, and
thus very gravely hamper and preju-
dice the government of Germany and
it's citizens.

Tuckerton and Eilvese stations are
used, not only by the citizens of the
United States and a great part of the
rest of the world for the interchange
of commercial messages, but by the
Government of the United States for
communication with it's ambassador
at Berlin. He insisted that a decree
transferring the station at Tuckerton
10 the French company would be con-
trary to the interests of the Govern
1nent and people of the United States
because all intercourse with Germany
except by the uncertain way of the
mails, would be cut off.
John R. Hardin, for the French con-
Germ, said that the existence of a state
Of war between the countries of the
respective parties did not make it ille-
gal for New Jersey to satisfy the
rights of the complainant. He said
that the only law which the State re-
cognized and enforced is its own law.
He argued that it's Courts know DO
other and it's citizens and all persons
within it's borders govern their con-
duct by that rule. He held that the
law of the State was correctly inter-
preted by Vice Chancellor Stevens and
that his decree should be affirmed.

HOLT Is ERICH MUENTER
Positively Identified by Chicago Uni
versity Professor.

Chicago, July S.-Positive identifi-
cation Of Frank Holt. the assailant OF
j. p. Morgan, as Erich Muentsr, the
missing Harvard professor who was
alleged to have caused the death OF
his wife, is made here by Professor
Chester N. Gould of the University
of Chicago.
Professor Gould, in a statement
made public, admitted he had identi-
fled Muenter, who was a former pupil
at the University of Chicago, while
at Cornell university last November.
He said he decided for several reasons
not 10 expose the man as "he seemed
to be getting along so nicely and
thought 1t was better to let well
enough alone" Professor Gould's
statement. In part, follows:
When | arrived at Cornell univer.
sity last November to engage In re-
search work | was introduced to DR..
Frank Holt, but paid little attention
to him at that time.
"He asked me how Cutting and
Allen, two University of Chicago pro.
f~essors. were getting along. l told
him, and asked him II he knew them
He said he did not, but had heard OF
them. Hollis carriage and speech had
rather stayed with We aud reminded
me of some one, but | could not re
member whom. Then my mental as
sociations began 10 work and ! said
Il know who 1t IL, 1t Is Muenter.'
1.-The next time | saw him he look
ed squarely at me and said: Hello
Could His words had the attitude
OF a man stepping back into an ole
familiarity. He new avoided me
except on one occasion when | saw
him with his wife and family. l hat
every opportunity to observe him ant
hear him speak German and English
and there can be no doubt that FRANK
Holt was Erich Muenter."

Method by Which Frank Holt
Ended Life.
SAYS NE ISERICH MUENTER
Professor Chester N. Gould of Chica-
go University Positively Identifies
Morqan's Assailant as Missing Har-
ward Teacher Who Was Charged
With the Murder of His Wife.

New York, July S.-Frank Holt, the
mar who shot j. p. Morgan, lies dead
In an undertaking establishment at
Hampstead, N. Y, and New York po-
lice have in their possession his
trunk containing 134 sticks of dyna-
mite, with which, they believe, he
planned to wreck public buildings in
New York and other cities.
An autopsy established that Holt
committed suicide by leaping from
the top of his cell door in the Minneo-
la e.. ~ Jail while the keepers back
was turned. Walter r. Jones, the
coroner, issued a statement after an
autopsy had been performed by the
prison physician, saying:
Holt anne to his death by a com
pound fracture of the skull and cere-
bral hemorrhage caused by a fall"
Hollis suicide followed close on the
discovery of evidence tending to con
firm the suspicion that he was Erich
Muenter, the former Harvard instruc'
tor. who was accused of poisoning his
wife In 1906.
investigation is in progress to as
certain whether his suicide was due
to negligence of any jail official. The
shipment. to New York of Hollis trunk
containing dynamite enough to de
stroy a city block, was also the sub
ject of inquiry.
Police officials inspected the cot
tage at Central Park, l.. l., where Hol'
had spent two weeks conducting ex
periments In the manufacture of In
fernal machines and in target prac
tice with a revolver. 1t was reported
that Holt had told a detective that h'
had put fifty pounds of dynamite OF
board a vessel which had since lef
New York. Wireless steamers alonl
the coast endeavored to reach steam
ers which had left here since July 2
to warn them of the possibility OF al
explosion.

TO BOOST TRAVEL.
Claim of Western Roads Concerning
TWo-Cent Fare.

Chicago, July S.-Failure of predic-
tons made in 1907, when passenger
fares in many states were reduced to
2 cents a mile, that the lower fare
would be more than Offset by the
stimulus to travel, was described in
figures before the interstate commerce
commission by forty-six Western rail-
ways which are asking permission to
Increase interstate passenger fares.
l.. E. Wettling, statistician fer the
railroads, presented figures showing
that the return on property devoted
to passenger service is only 2.37 per
cent, while many roads operate at a
deficit.
The reduction to 2-cent fares" Mr..
Wettling said, brought no stimulus
to travel such as was anticipated"
