Fire Rauages
Italian Home

A bad fire raised havoc with the
little home of Tony Reese in Neu-
mann lane on Wednesday evening of
last week. Shortly after nine o'clock.
Danny" Wood and friend, who
happened to be out on the grounds
next door saw the flames burst forth
from the west side of he Reese house.
and hurriedly turned in an alarm.
The fire department quickly re-
sponded, and got the fire under con-
troll; not, however, until it had badly
charred the entire outer west wall of
the dwelling, part of the entrance
and west section of the roof. Con-
siderable damage was done inside,
too, by water; also to the furniture.
Those in the vicinity speak of the fire
as having been a very hot one.
Tony had little shed adjoining
the west wall of the building, which
served as a shelter for his peanut
cart. 1t is supposed that the fire in
the stove of the cart, OF from some
brush nearby was the cause of the
fire.
The property and its contents were
well insured, although, at the time
of this writing, no damages had been
awarded.

SUNDAY MOVIES IN
JERSEY CITY STOPPED

Last Wednesday afternoon a num-
Der of Jersey City moving picture
proprietors appeared before Commits
sioner Frank Hague to ask his assent
for their conducting of their theaters
on Sundays, even though in doing so
both he and they would be fouting
the plain law of the state.
Commissioner Hague's attitude was
that every violation which he found
would be proceeded against, and the
house closed up. Counsel for the
proposed violators, Frederick Hem
planned to open shop anyway, and
then have the case tried and appealed
in and to the various courts.
This, naturally, did not meet with
the Commissioner ideas at all. 1t
was the opinion of the Corporation
Counsel that it would be an open
violation of the law. The Commits
sion advised the applicants that if
they wanted to have shows on Sun
day, they would have to go down to
Trenton next fall and have the pres
ent laws changed.
Said the Commissioner: "Now,
gentlemen, this is final. You can go
as far as you like. | do not see any
harm in moving pictures, but the
law is the law, and | have been placed
here by the people of Jersey City to
uphold the law, and | am going to do
it. The laws of this State must be
obeyed."

Surf Bathing at
Palisades Park

With every foregone attendance
record smashed, when weather condi-
tions permitted, the Palisade Amuse-
ment Park, has entered on it's third
week of the preliminary season
Crowds have fiocked to the resort
even during the disagreeable weather
of the last week, and judging from
this, under such conditions, the regu-
lar season which starts next Satur-
day, the summer at the Mountain of
Fun" will be the greatest in its
history.
Two important features have been
reserved for the opening day surf
bathing, and the initial appearance of
d company of fifty who will appear
IN English grand opera at the theater.
ever since the Park has been open
this year, the management have re-
ceived thousands Of inquiries, as to
when the sea water natatorium would
open. Now that an announcement
from Schenck Brothers asserts it will
be next Saturday the finland sea-
promises to be gay scene of
aquatic sport.
The concrete walls and bottom of
the pool have been 'marbleized, y
which affords clean, smooth surface,
as white as the crest of the pillows,
which roll upon the beach. With the
the new pumping station constructed
this year, the pool will be emptied
every night at eleven o'clock and re
filled in plenty Of time for the early
morning bathers. Every day this will
be done, and in connection with the
strong current supplied by the NAM
moth pumps, the bathing at the re-
sort atop the Palisades will be "dip
de luxe as the water is not inducted
directly into the pool when it is lifted
from the Hudson, but passes through
a filtering plant, which makes it as
clear as fresh water, but does not
destroy the eXhilaration of the salt
water as the surf at Palisades Amuse-
ment Park is just as briny as the
ocean itself.
The opera for the first week will
be I'll Trovatore," produced by the
Avitable-Martelli English Opera Com
pany. The cast includes fifty people
Two performances will be given Sun

Postmaster Hurd Found Guilty
Jury Out Eighteen Hours
Sentence Can Be Fifteen Years
Trial of HdUOrth s Postmaster Ends in Verdict A00int
Prisoner, But Public Not Surprised, As Testimony
Was Most Damaging

After eighteen hours of deliberation
the jury in the Hurd case returned
averdict of guilty at eleven o'clock
last Saturday morning. The jury
asked for instructions at 1915
o'clock that morning and after re-
ceiving them from Judge Seufert re-
tired to the jury room from which
place they issued forty-fve minutes
later with the final verdict.
E. C. Irion, of counsel for the de-
fense, told an Evening Record report
er Immediately following the verdict
that motion for new trial would
be made.
Judge Seufert continued Hurd's bail
of $4,000 and announced that sentence
would be imposed on May 27.
The penalty for this crime is fine
not exceeding $4,000 or a term in
State prison not exceeding fifteen
years, or both.
Athwald Hurd, son of the post
master, was on the witness stand
most of yesterday. He assumed all
of the responsibility for paying $12O
to Mrs. Jessie Conrad Vaughn. This
was part of the stipulated $3.50 for
the benefit of Miss Martha Conrad,
the seventeen-year-ol girl who ac-
cused the postmaster.
81 was compelled to admit to father
why | was paying the money, to save
him from disgrace, but he ordered me
to pay no more money, for the charge
was a lie and frame-up," said the
son.
Several men of Haworth were
called as character witnesses against
Hurd. They said that his reputation
for morality was not of the best.
Some of these witnesses were then
confronted with the fact that they
signed his petition for appointment as
postmaster year ago. They said
that at that time they had better
opinion of Hurd
Prosecutor Huckin assailed Post
master Hurd numerically in summing
up to the jury. Ex-Prosecutor
Wendell j. Wright of counsel for
Hurd turned his attention to Mrs.
Jessie Conrad Vaughn. He asserted
that she engineered the case against
the postmaster, who is her brother.
The Rev. Mr. Jones, of the Haworth
Reformed Church, called as char
acter witness, qualified his testimony
in rather novel manner, saying, Gas
an individual | would say Postmaster
Hurd's character was good to the best
of my knowledge, but if you want me
to testify for my congregation that
would be different matter"

German Vessels
Not Seizable

The thirteen German steamers
which have been tied up at Hoboken
docks since last August, and which
are valued at many millions of dol
lars, cannot be seized by the United
States government in case of an open
rupture between the two countries,
is the opinion of Judge Joseph d..
Bedle, a director of the North German
Lloyd Dock Company. In all, there
are at present seventy-two German
and Austrian vessels in American
waters, estimated to be worth over
$100,000,000.
The German steamers now tied up
at Hoboken piers are the great Water
land, the George Washington,
Amerika, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Presi-
dent Lincoln, Pennsylvania, Grosser
Kurfurst, Barbarossa, Princess Irene,
Friedrich der Crosse, Rhaetia, and
Prinz Joachim. The Lines represent
ed are the Hamburg-American and
the North German Lloyd.
The contention of the interested
parties is that the dock properties,
to which the German ships are fast
ened, belong to American citizens
under the laws of New Jersey. Judge
Bedle, above quoted, said that there
was clause in the Hague Convention
Act that would make these vessels
immune from seizure, and that there
was not the slightest fear that they
would be liable to confscation after
being held up here by war prior to
one between the United States and
Germany.
