Who WILL Be NEXT
CHIEF JUSTICE?
Jersey City Folks Divided in
Guessing Between Charles G.
Garrison and Gunmere.
Special to the Evening star.

TRENTON, April 12.-Speculation
and predictions as to Governor Field
er's probable action in connection
with the appointment of chief JUS
tice to succeed William S. Gummere
are taking up much of the time OF
the political soothsayers here today.
As the governor has announced
that he will make his announcement
this week, probably tonight, the pro-
phets are all the more active.
In the estimation of some Chief
Justice Gummere will be named as
his own successor.
Others pick out Justice Charles
Grant Garrison now a member of
the Supreme Court bench, as the next
chief justice.
IA the event of such an appoint
ment being made, the venture is
hazarded that County Judge Mark A.
Sullivan will be elevated to a Supreme
Court justiceship to fill in the niche
caused by the calculated evolution
that would result from the failure OF
Justice Gummere to secure renomi-
nation.

SUNDAY breaches ON THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS AND MOVES
BIG AUDIENCE TO ADMIT SINS
Stand Up Acknowledgment That They Are
Sorry for Having ransgressed-Working His Day
of Rest and Declares He Doesn't Think He'll Live Long.
From a star Correspondent.

PATERSON, April 12.-Billy Sun
day, the evangelist, this afternoon
addresses the Press Club of New
York. This is his day of rest, but
that vibrant bundle of activity is
forever on the go, and in his sermon
at the tabernacle here last night he
declared, u work harder than any
workingman. that ever came to Pat
erson who puts in twelve hours a
day. He, at least, can go to sleep
after his work Is ended, but my mind
is afiame with excitement after [
have preached, and 1 never go to
sleep before or 2 o'clock. And then
l am subconscious. Napoleon got
used to be content with four hours
sleep. I've got him backed right up
against the boards"
Mr.. Sunday said he did not think
he would live long.
More than 1000 persons crowded
into the tabernacle at the meeting
yesterday afternoon and again at
last nights meeting. The forenoon
meeting was not so we'll attended,
but at that there were more than
5000 present at the services. AT an
overflow meeting at the Church of
the Redeemer Rev. J. w. Welch, one
of Mr.. Sundays chief liutenants, de-
livered an interesting address.
Enthusiasm ran high at all the
tabernacle meetings, particularly at
the one last night, when Mr.. Sun
day, who had gradually shed his col
lar and tie and then his coat, asked
those to stand up who were 'honest
enough to say, I'm sorry [ have ever
broken any commandment of God
The entire assemblage bounded to
it's feet. 1t is evident that if Billy
had given the word thousands would
have "hit the trail" He refrained,
however, preferring to leave this
phase of the revival for some day
near the middle of the week.
His sermon last night dealt with
the Ten Commandments. In regard
to the commandment on the violation
of which divorce suits are based Mr..
Sunday said:
Thou shalt not covet thy neigh
boris wife. Divorce is becoming too
prevalent, says Cardinal Gibbons, and
I agree with him that marriage has
grown to be but little better than
free love-"

How the German merchant raider

The naval tug Patuxent, on guard

Shortly before noon today the sixty
one British officers and men of the

British horseship Cassandra, which
will sail later today, for Glasgow.
The harbor was hned with British
merchant ships as the captives of the
German raider were released, and as
their tug steamed by hundreds of
British sailors lined the decks of their
ships and cheered.
When the liberated British tars
reached the Cassandra's dock they
tossed the remnants of their luggage

PUTS
IN NO DEFENSE
ON LAST TRIAL

John b. Scarlett, on trial in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer on the
charge of conspiring to defraud the
Roseville Trust Company, created a
surprise this afternoon by failing to
make any defense. The States case
rested at the noon recess and the de-
Tense was scheduled to commence
with the afternoon session.
When Judge Osborne opened court
in the afternoon Philip ]. Schotland,
counsel for Scarlett, asked permis-
sion to make a motion, and was told
that he might do so only after waiv-
ing his right to offer testimony.
He accepted the condition and
moved that the court direct the jur-
ors to return a verdict of mot guilty"
on the evidence submitted by the
State. The court denied the motion.
The afternoon was then given over to
a summation of testimony, each side
being allowed an hour and a half.
The judge will charge the jury in the
morning.
Scarlet had recovered today from
the attack of grip from which he was
suffering on Friday and which neces-
STATED an early adjournment of court,
The hoodoo that has been lowering
over the trials was in evidence, how
ever, for Walter S. Ressland, the
court stenographer, was taken i'll
with grip and had to retire after
being called as a witness to read some
of his notes on Scarlett's testimony
at his trial two weeks ago for over
drawing his account,
Mr.. Ressland read Scarlett's story
of how his check book was kept and
the manner of making the entries.
The check book is considered an inn
portant exhibit for the State, and II
was over the strenuous objection of
Philip j. Schotland, Scarlett's coun-
sci, that it was admitted into evil
dence.
Raymond E. Smith was on the
stand again today under cross-exam-
ination. He said that when he certi-
fed checks for Scarlet, knowing he
had no funds in the bank, he did not
think that the director was going to
defraud the bank This was probably
the most favorable admission that
the defense could get from the for
1aag secretary treasurer.

teen warships in the German feet.
Others guessed the number at twenty
five. A Norwegian steamer from
