Has Served as Second District
Court Head for Sixteen
Years.
MAY BE SUCCEEDED
BY FREDERIC l.. JOHNSON
This Was the Rumor Following
Announcement of the Judges
Contemplated Action.

1t was announced today in the City
Hall that Judge Thomas J. Lintott,
who has presided in the Second D s.
tict Court for a period of about six
teen years, had decided to retire from
the judgeship on March /, and apply
himself to his private law practice.
Judge Lintott's term would expire
this year. but his private practice has
developed to such an extent that he
finds 1t necessary to retire from the
bench before the expiration of his off,
cial term.
During his time on the bench Judge
Lintott gained high reputation
among lawyers for the ependid man.
ner In which he handled the many
cases brought before him and his ex-
cellent judgment in all matters. OF a
quiet demeapor and even tempera-
ment, it Is impossible to ruttle him
He possesses a knack of getting at
the bottom OF facts in litigation with
out loss of time or words and by his
method of directing proceedines aids
counsel, litigants and witnesses alike
Judge Lintott is exceedingly popular
with lawyers and laymen. Regrets at
his determination to leave the bench
were expressed by every lawyer who
had heard of his contemplated action.
1t is understood that the judge for
warded his resignation to Governor
Fielder several days ago.
Following the announcement OF
Judge Lintott's retirement came rL-
NOR that Frederic L. Johnson, who was
recently elected to the presidency
the Board of Education, would
all probability, be appointed as judge
of the Second District Court. Bo h
Judge Lintott and Mr.. Johnson are
Democrats.
Judge Lintott was admitted to the
bar in November. 1880, after study
ing under the late Joseph L. Mum,
one time county counsel. He was
first appointed District Court Judge
n 1899 filing the unexpired term of
Frederick f. Guild, now prosecutor
Of the pleas of Essex county. He was
appointed for a full term of FIVE years
in 1890, again in 1905 and in 1910. He
is senior member Aes4the firm of Lin
tott,, Kahrs & Young, with offices al
$40 Broad street.
He Is a membe of the Down Town
Club, the Essex Cub, North End
Club, Celtic C ub and the Forest Hill
Golf C ub. He is married, has three
children, and lives at 624 Mt. Pros
pect avenue.

BRANF ORD PLACE
LEVY ATTACKED
BY DIRECTORS
Assessments Wrongly Pre-
missed, Lawyers claim-Judge
Adams Reserves Decision.

After hearing argument by counsel
representing protesting property
owners, who seek TO have the assess
ments made by commissioners for
benefits accruing through the open
ing of Branford place, referred back
to them for revision. Judge Adams
today reserved decision.
The protesting property owners
were represented by former Governor
John Franklin Fort. Adrian R'ker.
Leo Stein and William A. Smith,
while Frank E. Bradner represented
those who have no objection To the
approval OF the report.
Mr.. Riker, opening the argument,
declared that on the face of the re-
port. the assessments had been
wrongly promised. The assessments
had been made for general benefits,
while the law required that assess
ments should be made for special
and pecul ar berefts only.
Mr.. Bradner declared that the prop
erty-owners he represented, having no
objection to their assessment, should
not be compelled to have their assess
1tilA Oel~A WIN IAiI 0NA4NAes AA1
argued that the assessments, now be-
ing in the hands OF the court, consti-
tuted a lien on the properties.
Mr.. Riker denied this, saying that
the assessments did not become liens
until the court had approved them.
Mr.. Smith argued that the whole re-
port should be sent back for revt ion.
So many interests were involved. so
vast an amount OF property was In
volved. that great injustice would be
done If the report was only revised in
part.
Former Governor Fort sad that
every taxpayer was interested in the
question of the assessment, as a
large part OF the assessment was laid
on the city as a whole. He then cited
the statute to show that it laid en-
tirely within the power Of the judge
to return the assessment as a whole to
the commissioners for revision, or to
appoint other commissioners.
City Attorney Kalisch told the court
that he had concluded that the com
missioners had proceeded upon wrong
theories and had made a number OF
errors in their conclusions. He be-
lieved that the report should be sent
back for revision.
Judge Adams gave counsel until
next Thursday TO file briefs.

C cared. "are often CAD to see their

TRENTON, Feb. 20.-The Supreme
Court today allowed writ OF cer-
tiorari to review the action of the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers In ordering the Pennsylvania

SEVERITY OF FIGHTING
INCREASES IN THE WEST
Russians Have Brought Up
Heavy Guns for New PrzenysI
Assault, Report.

In an attempt 70 force the Darda-
uelles, the gate to Constantinople,
French and British warshfps began
a bombardment Of the Turkish forti-
f1cations yesterday, which is being
continued today. An allied fleet has
been at the entrance Of the Darda-
nelles for several months. and re-
ports from time to time indicated
that damage was done to some Of
the Turkish forts. An official state
ment issued in London today says
that seropisnes are cooperating
with the warships in the attacks,
which had Considerable effect" Tho
present movement evidently is the
most formidable which has been
made in the effort to force q way
through the Dardanelles, beyond
which lies Constantlnople.
Fighting in France and Belgium
apparently Is increasing in severity.
Today's official reports from Paris
and Berlin show that the French
attempted to break through the
German line at two points toward the
eastern end, and that the Germans
made an assault on the trenches of
the allies in Belgium, without effect
ing important results in any case.
The Germans claim the capture of
TWO towns In the Vosges.
New Attack on PrzemyoI.
A new attack has been begun by the
Russians on the fortified Galician city
Of Przemyol, whose resistance Of the
beslegers month after month has been
one of the striking features of the
campaign in the east The Russians
4ie reported to have brought up heavy
guns for the assault. Elsewhere in
Galicia, according to unofficial ad-
vices, the Russians have gained a
measure of success. especially near
Dukl6 Pass. where the Austrians are
said to have suffered heavy losses in
he last few days.
From English sources It Is reported
that the russians nave formed line
along the Pruth river. in Bukowina,
and that s new battle is developing
This conflicts ssitl reeert statements
that the Austrians had succeeded In
clearing ali of BukowIna of the Rus-
slams.
In northern Poland, so far az Ger
man accounts of the lighting show,
the German pursuit OF the Russ ans
continues and has resulted in the win
ming Of several Polish cities and
towns. London believes. however,
that the first rush OF the Germans into
hostile territory, after expelling the
Russians from East Prussia, has been
stayed.
