/ Vice Chancellor Stevens in an opinion
filed in the Court of Chancery yesterday
denied the application of German cor
poration for postponement of the hear
| ing and determining of suit brought
in the Court of Chancery of New Jersey
by French corporation to compel the
German corporation to carry out an
alleged contract to dispose of its wireless
telegraph station at Tuckerton, to the
French corporation.
The German company denied knowl-
edge of the contract and asked that a
hearing and determining of the case be
deferred until after the close of the
European war.
Vice Chancellor Stevens, in denying
the application to postpone, said: I'm
times of peace the court takes jurisdic-
ton as matter of course for the benefit
of citizens and aliens alike. If foreign
nations are at war among themselves,
this nation does not cease to be friendly.
Its courts remain open to their subjects. "
The decision means that the case will
proceed in the usual order.
The name of the German company is
the Hoch Frequenze- Maschinen Aktien-
gesellschaft fur Drahtlose Telegraphie
of Berlin. The French corporation is
the Campagnic Universelle de Telegra
phie ct de Telephone Sans Fill, with

no Examine Assessments.

Field Secretary Frank A. O'Connor
of the State Board of Taxes and Assess
ment, will visit and examine into com
plants of assessments made by tax
payers, under new plan of adjusting
and equalizing the work of taxation in
New Jersey, it was announced on Friday
by Lucius T. Rossell, president of the
Board of Taxes and Assessment, in a
statement given out by him along with
copy of letter sent to the nearly five
hundred assessors in the state.
The letter called attention to the fact
that each assessor is sworn to value
property at its full and fair value for
taxation purposes and they are advised
to go very carefully over their assess
ment books before turning them in.
President Russell's letter states that there
is conclusive evidence that the assessors
have failed to convince the taxpayers
that they are complying with both the
letter and spirit OF the law, and warns
how that "A failure to do so whether
wilfully or through neglect, is mis-
demeanor and they are liable to dis
missal and indictment"

Plant Lice Abundant.


Just now plant lice of various specie,
infesting young apple trees, tomatoes
potatoes, musk melons, cabbage anC
many other plants are exciting interes
and fear. 1t is not likely that with the
present high temperatures they viii
long persist. Under such conditions o.
weather their parasitic enemies usually
sweep them quickly away. For con,
siderable period now all specimens Of
plant lice received by the Entomologist
at the New Jersey Experiment Station
have shown some, and in many cases a
great many, of the lice killed by internal
parasites. Parasitized lice are greatly
swollen and look good deal like small
seeds as their dead bodies lie glued to
the leaves.
Ii the lice in any case are doing seri-
GUS damage and if the leaves are not
curled so as to protect them, they should
be promptly sprayed with mixture of
40% nicotine sulphate, water and soap,
using part of the 4O9S nicotine sui

lice, or 800 parts for green lice, and add
ing soap at the rate of 2 pounds to each
80 gallons of the mixture. For spraying
a few plants, ! of teaspoonfuI of the
nicotine sulphate to one gallon of water,
to which one ounce of soap has been
added, should be used.
The spraying must be SO carefully
done that all the lice will be drenched.
or the results will be unsatisfactory.
When the lice are protected by the
curled leaves, inside of which they live,
spraying is likely to be unsatisfactory.
Plants likely to be lice infested should
be so carefully watched by the grower
that their first appearance will be noted.
They should be sprayed in thorough
manner as soon as first noticed. In this
way they will be destroyed and the
plants will be protected from injury.

The Methodist parsonage was recently
robbed of a roll of money amounting to
S5S by sneak thief. The money was
hidden under q bed mattress and while
the pastor, DIR. Morris, was attending
prayer meeting and while the house was
unoccupied, the thief entered the prem
ises and got the cash. The job was
evidently done in hurry, as a gold
watch and chain and about S. in money,
all in a pair of trousers in the same room,
were not disturbed, nor some iewelry on
the bureau. Entrance was made through
the kitchen, the only obstacle being a
screen door which was hooked but which
was easily opened. A stranger selling
shoe strings had called at the parsonage
that day and he was suspected of the
crime. The county authorities were
notified and they arrested man al
Riverside who was peddling shoe strings
there last Tuesday, and had $40 in his
pockets. DIR. Morris called at the Mount

pect was not the man who had been in
