RELIEVED OF INCOME TAX
JUDGE HIGBEE TACITLY HOLDS
CREAMERY TAX VOID
COOPERATIVE Association Favored bx
Vircqua City Council and Board
of Supervisors

Some months since the Viroeua Cream
cry Company brought suit for an in
junction to restrain the city of Viroqua
from selling the property of the COM
pany, claimed to be owned by the 628
patrons as tenants in common, for the
collection of an income tax of some
$500 The city demurred TO the com
plant of the plaintiff upon the ground
that couceding the tax to be void and
the income of the cooperative institu-
ton not taxable within the purview Of
the income tax act, that still the plain
tiff had no right to go into court of
equity and seek to eujoin the collection
of the tax IL was further claimed by
the city that the plaintiff had an ade-
quate remedy at law-by paying the
tax under protest and then sueing for
and recovering the tax. The case was
argued at the late term of court by j.
Henry Bennett for the creamery com
pany ana II. p, Proctor as city attor-
ney for the city Judge Higbee took
the matter under Amusement and now
holds the tax upon the creamery com
pany void, but further holds, sustain
ing the contention of the city, that q
suit 10 equity will not lie Hesuggests
that il the tax were paid under protest
that the plaintiff could sue for and re-
cover it and then distribute it among
the 62S persons entitled to be reim-
bursed.
The decision of the main question
whether or not the tax was void, was
desired by attorneys and parties on both
sides. In the opinion of the court the
main question would have &c be decided
in favor of the creamery company. AS
the company loses on a question of
practice. it is said that the case will be
at once apnealed to the sunreme court.

JOHN c. DANA'S
RESIGNATION IS
CAUSING WORRY
Museum Assn Accepts That of
Franklin Murphy, but Ia
bIes the Other.

Mayor Thomas L. Raymond took
an active part in the attempt of the
board of trustees of the Newark
Museum Association at its meeting
yesterday afternoon to end the un-
settled condition of the affairs of the
board which has continued since the
designations of former Governor
Franklin Murphy, as president of the
board, and of John Cotton Dana, as
secretary and director, which were
rendered some time ago. Yesterday
Mr.. Murphy's was accepted and Mr.
'Dana's left on the table.
James S. Higbie. first vice-presi-
dent, who has been connected with
the body since its organization, was
elected president. n
Mayor Raymond vigorously urged
the retention OF Mr.. Dana, and spoke
at length and vehemently upon the
directors fitness for the post and the
impossibllity of replacing him. The
directors met behind closed doors,
but the mayors voice pierced through
to the hall outside.
You cannot replace Mr.. Dana in
the city of Newark, in the State of
New Jersey, in the entire country
he declared. Gentlemen, this vote
you are about to take may not only
deprive Newark of this man, whose
equal cannot be found, but you may
deprive the workingmen of this city
of its greatest treasure"
Mayor Raymond then urged that
the utmost consideration be given
the ballot.
Justice Swayze Declined.
His support of the director followed
the submission of the report of the
committee appointed nearly month
ago by the then acting president,
Charles Bradley, to attempt to har-
monize opposing interests. The COM
mittee consisted of Mr.. Bradley,
Richard C. Jenlinson and Christian
w. Feigenspan. 1t was sought to
have Justice Francis J. Swayze, of
the Supreme Court, serve. on this
committee. but he pleaded to be
excused on the ground that as

BOY IS DROWNED
WHEN LURED BY
DESIRE TO SWIM
Saw Companions Cavort in
Water and Thought He'd
Try 1t.

Gerardo Raimo, of q Garside street,
sixteen years of age, was drowned in
the Morris canal at Orange street
shortly after o'clock last night. The
circumstances surrounding his death
are not known to the police. and De-
tectives Mcclure and Huebner, of the
Fifth precinct are searching for two
other boys, who were swimming near
the place where Raimo was drowned
They are not suspected of being
responsible for the Raimo boys
death, but the police believe their
stories Will clear up all mystery sur
rounding the affair. During the ex-
citement attending the finding of
Raimos body the other boys dressed
and went away. No one in the neigh
borhood recognized them. but they
We're not chums of the dead lad.
1t is the theory of the police that
these two boys were swimming about
when Raimo, who could not swim,
came along. and thought he would
share their evident enjoyment, with
out realizing how deep the water
was. Raimo undressed and jumped
into the canal at a point where the
water is at least fifteen feet deep
Not knowing how to manage in
water beyond his depth he went TO
the bottom, where one of his feet
was caught in the mechanism of the
canal lock.
eanoeisfs Attracted by Cries.
Several members of the Tuscarora
Canoe Club and others in the neigh
borhood were attracted by shouts for
help, probably from the two boys
who were swimming and had become
alarmed when Raimo jumped in and
failed to reappear.
The rescuers dived several times in
an attempt to recover the body, but
without success, and word was sent
to Park Policeman John f. Zipf.
Meantime Nicola Ettarello, sixteen
years old, who lives at IA Garside
street, and. says he was walking in
Branch Brook Park when he heard
the cries for help, undressed and
dived for the body. Like the older
volunteer rescuers, he was unsuccess-
full.
Efforts at Resusitation Fail.
When Policeman Zipf arrived and
learned the circumstances he dis
robed, and after a lot of hard work
brought the body to the surface,
about forty minutes after the hoy
jumped in..i Artificial respiration was
tried while the park pulmotor was
being secured. An ambulance from
the City Hospital arrived about the
time the pulmotor was at hand, and
the attending physician pronounced
the boy dead. The body was re-
moved to Mullins morgue.
Young Ettarello identified the boy,
and said that he had no notion it
was one of his neighbors when he
volunteered to dive for him..
Raimo lived with his parents, and
is survived by them, as we'll as by
brother, Joseph, and a sister, Annie.

BRYAN PLEASED
lingo EDITOR"
ARE NOW SILENT
Gratified to Note Change in
Tone OF Press, He
Declares.

WASHINGTON, June 11.--F'ormer
Secretary Bryan today issued a
statement expressing his eradication
over what he termed a change In the
tone of the press regarding the
American note to Germany. The
statement follows:
II am glad to note the change in
the tone of the press in regard to the
note to Germany. From the time the
papers began to publish forecasts
down to yesterday the lingo editors
have been predicting that the matter
would be dealt with with great firm
ness;' that Germany would be told
that there must be no more delay in
the acceptance of this country's de-
mands, etc.
Instead OF waiting until the note
was issued, they put their own con-
struction upon 1t In advance and
colored 1t to suit their own purposes
1t is a relief to find the papers now
emphasizing the friendly tone OF the
note and pointing out that 1t does
not necessarily mean war.
Something has been gained, in
that the warrior journalists at last
realize that the country does not
want war, bat that, on the contrary,
1t will support the president in his
efforts to find peaceful solution or
the difficult problem raised by the
use of the submarine against mer-
chantmen."
The former secretary, giving out
formal statement, supplemented 1t
with the following anecdote:
"A congressman replying to JlnSo
speech recently said:
While / am personally against
war. / am in favor of the country
having what ii wants. If the country
wants war, let IL have war, but let
1t first find out If the country does
want war If 1t becomes necessary
to ascertain the sentiment OF the
country, | suggest that a ballot be
taken; let those who want war vote
for war, and those opposed to war,
vote against it, and let the vote be
taken with the understanding that
those who vote for war will enlist
for war, and that those who vote
against war will not be called upon
until after those who want war have
ex hausted their efforts.
81 still believe, added Mr. Bryan,
ain the right of the people to rule
and think the congressman's sugges-
ton might insure deliberate action
on the part of the voters"
Mr.. Bryan was reminded OF the
suggestion of some of his friends that
in case of war he would be one of
the first to enlist
"I do not want to talk about war,
but on one occasion / enlisted to de-
fend my country on the first day war
was declared" he replied.
Bryan plans many conferences with
those who, in the past, have been
his close advisers, and who, in the
present instance, consider him right.
He said today that when he issues
his statement to the German-Amer-
leans he will rest his case" until
special occasion arises. 1t Is under
stood that he has practically deter
mined that until it is plain just what
sort of an answer Germany is to re-
turn, there will be no need of his TAX
! ing any further steps to secure in
| dorsement Of his new policy

bach TO Have Say.

Captain Martin H. Ray, who gives
telephone instruction to the police
training school for 500 a week. will
leave the employ of the Board of
Police Commissioners on July 1. A
statement on what Captain Ray has
convinced the commissioners that he
has accomplished during his ten
week stay in this city will be issued
today by President Frederick Brei-
denbach.
Commissioner Frederic Bigelow to-
day issued the following supplement-
airy statement:
'I feel more or less the response
bility for the boards action in en-
gaging the services of Captain Ray
and trust that the recent criticism
of his work will cease when Presi-
dent Breidenbach explains the work
which he is doing in the city. / am
convinced that the board was wise
in seeing the need of outside expert
assistance and fortunate in its selec-
ton of Captain Ray and I feel
further that the board is in error in
dispensing with the captains SER
vices at so early date"

Railroads May
Not Give to
the City Fund
Chairman McCarter, of Execu-
tive Committee, Says They
Haven't Answered Appeals.

Uzal H. McCarter, chairman of the
executive committee of the Commit
tee of One Hundred, said today that
he did not believe the railroads run
ming into this city anticipate giving
any subscriptions to the fund for the
celebration of the 250th anniversary
of the founding of Newark. Mr.. Nc
Carter said the railroad officials had
been written to, but that they had
not even answered the letters.
There seems to be general regret
on the part of members of the Com
mittee of One Hundred over the at
titude of the railroads.
Some members of the committee
have been trying to discover what
line of business is going to realize
more immediate benefit from the
than the railroads and
have been unable to do so, they say
Mr.. MeCarter said today that he
no change in the situa-
tion with respect to the savings banks
and insurance companies, which have
not been able to find the way clear
to make contributions.

COMMITTEE TO
DEVISE WAY TO
GOVERN JITNEYS
Board of Works, DepIoring Un-
regulated Operation of Cars,
viii Prepare Ordinance.
TROLLEY SERVICE MAY
BE CUT, 1T Is SAID
Committee to Make Investiga-
tion and Report Recon-
mendations.

Claiming that the city Is losing $50
per day owing to the jltnev busses
operating in this city. the Board of
Works at yesterdays meeting ap-
pointed City Counsel Spaulding
Frazer, Chief Engineer Morris R.
Sherrerd and Trolley Inspector
Joseph Crawford as a special com
, mittee to report back at the next
meeting what can be done to con-
troll the jitneys in Newark.
A lengthy report submitted by Mr..
Crawford was read at the meeting by
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman,
chairman of the street committee. 1t
told how the city received five per
cent yearly revenue from the Public
Service, and said that the more pas
sengers the jitneys carried the less
revenue would be forthcoming from
the Public Service to the city.
The report came as surprise. 1t
told of the number of complaints re-
oeived by the city and the probable
cut-down of the trolley schedule on
thoroughfares where the jitneys run.
Mr.. Crawford said that the jitneys
make their money on the short runs
IN this city. He told of forty different
jitneys that make at least SIS per
day. He narrated how he found out
that auto owners from Railway,
Staten Island, Elizabeth and this city
come to Newark during the rush
hours, work for a short time and then
return to their places for another
day.
Mr.. Crawford also said that the
jtney bus drivers are careless and
run about as they please. He said
that if the jitneys continue in New
ark a schedule should be adopted,
rates of toll explained and the haul
ing distance and the number o. pas
sengers should be controlled By the
Board of Works.
The trolley inspector said that the
jtney bill failed to pass at he last
session of the Legislature, as the
lawmakers said that the various lpc-
inequalities could govern sasl1 oper-
ating concerns.
Better Governing Rules Needed.
~ think ii is shame the way the
jitneys run about in Newark" said
dent should occur who would the city
hold liable? Something must be done.
The cars are overcrowded and are
dangerous, not only to those in the
machines, but those along the road
way"
This is serious proposition both
to the city and to the jitney men,
said Commissioner Denman. II heard
of an accident the other day occur
ring from jitney bus and the police
could not find the owner. The revenue
from the Public Service is large and
should be cherished. The trolleys pay
for their privilege, why not the jit-
neysY' he added.
The first request for a franchise
for jitney in this city was made
yesterday, when the Beseda Com
pany, through its secretary. John j.
Berry, requested the rights Presi-
dent Ryan said that at the present
time nothing could be done.

STATE BOARD
HEARS APPEAL

ON LOCAL TAX
Newark Warehouse Co. Again
Asks for Reduction of
Assessment.

The State Board of Equalization
of Taxes at a meeting here today
heard an appeal for a reduction in
assessment from $500,00 to 1876 58
by the Newark Warehouse Co. An
appeal was previously made to the
county board, but the assess amt was
confirmed.
George Holmes represents the New
ark Warehouse Co., while City, Attor-
ney Harry Kalisch is taking care Of
the city end.
John Van Doren.' manager of the
warehouse. was questioned in detail
by Mr. Kalisch. He said that at
times the amount in storage runs
from sl,000,0O0 to s2.000,000.
Mr. Van Doren explained that
most of the goods brought to the
storehouse are shipped out soon after
acceptance. He denied having a
large quantity of groceries on hand,
but admitted that flour and sugar
months.
Mr.. Holmes said that the ware
house company could not stand for
the assessment as levied by the city.
eff the attitude of Newark is to drive
us out-well, all right, said Mr..
Holmes.
The city placed John j. Fitzsim-
mons, secretary of the Assessment
Commission, on the stand. He said
that the company refued to give the
values of chattels when asked by the
city
Mr.. Holmes told the board that this
information was refused owing to
Interstate commerce laws. He also
said that the goods in the warehouse
were taxed by the city through the
individual owners. and that two taxes
could not be collected on same
articles in one taxing district.
Mr.. Kalisch said that owners of
warehouses should give the city an
itemized statement who owned the
goods. I'VE tax where we find, and
that is the letter of the law said
Mr. Kalisch.
