FATAL ACCIDENT OCCURRED
NEAR 6EllAIRE sATUR-
oAr NIGHT.
Fred sehraram Dies as Result % BE-
Ing Pinioneo Under csr-0thers
Sustain Injuries

Happiness was turned into sorrow
shortly after midnight Saturday when
Ford touring car owned and driven
BY Herman Keyser turned turtle on
the Pinch Run road. south Of BellAire.
resulting IN the death OF Fred
Sehramm, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Schramm. who reside on a farm about
Ia miles southwest OF Bellaire.
The car contained seven occupants.
including Mr.. keyser. the driver.
Fred Schramm. the victim. the lA;-
ter's sisters. Misses Emma and liner,
and his brother. Allen Schramm. and
a Miss McCollough.
The party had attended the silver
anniversary OF the marriage OF Mr.
and Mrs. II. W. Schramm On harrison
street. Bellaire. and was returning
home in a gleeful mood as the result
OF the celebration. when suddenly the
car fell over an eight-foot embank-
ment on the Pinch Run road The
driver in trying 20 avoid a mudhole
guided the machine too close to the
edge OF the road. causing the earth to
give way. precipitating the car TO tho
bottom OF the creek, which flows past
the scene of the accident. Young
Schramm. doubtless believing that he
could escape injury or perhaps in the
act OF jumping leaned far out over
the car. and as II settled down he was
caught and pinioned beneath the side
OF the auto. The other members Of
the party escaped injury except Mr.
keyser. who was slightly injured
about the legs.
II was several minutes before the
party recovered from the shock and
the excitement MIR. Keyser was the
first to recover and made herculean
efforts TO rescue Schramm. who was
calling for help from his perilous po-
sition. Unaided Mr. Keyser lifted one
side Of the car. permitting the entire
party and Schramm to crawl from be-
meath IT, Schramm apparently did not
realize the seriousness OF his injuries.
He stood up for a few minutes. and
after saying a few words fell to the
road and succumbed. He had been
crushed about the abdomen and IL is
believed that death was due TO an in
ternal hemorrhage. A physician was
called. but the young man died before
his arrival
The body was removed to the home
OF his parents. a short distance from
the scene of the accident. and pre-
pared for burial. Arrangements for
the funeral have not been completed
The young man was about II years
OF age and favorite among the
young folks in South Bellaire. and his
death caused deep sorrow among all
of his friends.

COURT TO PROOF
Judge Rules He Must Show
Facts of Corruption = De-
fense Case is Near End.

Syracuse, N Y, May SIN a ruling
by Justice Andrews, Colonel Roosevelt
must submit proof to back up his
charges that Barnes was corruptly In
terested In state printing contracts.
If the printing evidence, which il
mostly relied upon by Colonel Roose-
yelt to escape transferring any cash
from his bank account TO Mr.. Barnes,
lis to be retained In the record and
John NJ. Bowers and his associates
must bring out definitely three facts:
That wasteful and extravagant print
ing was done by companies In which
Mfr. Barnes was publicly or privately
interested and that these companies
fraudulently oyercharged the state and
the county and city of Albany.
That Mr.. Barnes was aware of the
waste, the extravaganza and the fraud,
and that he profited personally from
the practices of the companies securing
contracts and assigning them back and
forth.
That corrupt and dishonorable situa-
ton In public printing was brought
about by Mr. Barnes political influence
working upon the legislature and upon
public officials.
The notification or ruling was made
as the Roosevelt counsel approached
the completion of their case. Their
evidence will be all in by Monday at
noon, they informed the court. and
then will come Mr.. Barnes argument
that the requirements Of proof de-
manded have been met and Mr.. Ivins'
counter argument that they have not
been met and that the printing evi-
dence should be eliminated. Meanwh bile
the jurors have been getting the benefit
of whatever Mr.. Bowers has been able
to boil out In the way of circum-
stantiaI proof or in the way of infer
ences and suggestions that Mr.. Barnes
was getting well paid by printing COM
panies for his political intercessions on
their behalf
Mr. wins argued hotly against tho
tentative admission of testimony pre-
judicial to Mr.. Barnes testimony.
which may have to be stricken from
the record, but which, as he contended,
would sroduce indelible impression
upon the minds of the jurors. Justice
Andrews reminded Mr.. WINS that II
the court finally decided to rule out
such evidence the court would instruct

RESOLUTIONS ON
DEATH Of COLYER
Memory OF Late District Court
Clerk Honored Here Yester-
day by Perth Amboy Bar.

Resolutions of sympathy on the
death of Jesse Colyer, who was clerk
Of the Perth Amboy District Court
for fifteen years, were adopted by
members of the Perth Amboy bar as
sembled in the court room yesterday.
Former Judge Adrian Lyon, former
Judge John w. Beekman and Leo
Goidberger, the committee appointed
last week to draw the resolutions,
presented same and they were read
by Mr.. Lyon and ordered spread on
the minutes of the court, and copy
ordered sent to the family of the de-
ceased. Judge G. c. Hommann, Mr..
Lyon and Mr.. Beekman spoke in
turn, and expressed sympathy for
the bereayed family, the sorrow OF
the members of the Perth Amboy bar
in losing the companionship of a
brother attorney, and eulogized the
deceased. The resolutions adopted
follow:
Whereas In the wisdom of AL
mighty God, He hath been pleased
to remove from us Jesse Colyer, a
member of the New Jersey bar and
the clerk for nearly fifteen years OF
the District Court of the city ol
Perth Amboy, and we desire to make
mention of the very great sorrow We
feel In his death and to record our
appreciation of his worth and express
our sympa Thy to those who shall
miss him the most;
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
hereby express our sorrow in his
sudden death, the loss we shall feel
of his companionship, and the grief
we all feel because of the absence OF
such familiar face.
He had lived among us for many
years and had been the first and only
clerk OF the District Court since
March of nineteen hundred and one
although he was not called to the
bar until the June term of nineteen
hundred and four. He was admitted
as counsellor four years later.
He was interested in education
having served as member and pres
ident of the Board of Education oi
this city and for many years there
after was clerk of the board, which
position he held at the time of his
death.
He was a man of superior intelli-
gence, having studied much of men
and affairs, and having sounded
deeply the pleasures of English liter
ature. What he was he came to be
through hardships and struggles and
many disappointments. He braved
calmly the storms which ones own
heart alone can know; but finally In
the strength of manhood yielded tc
the last great adversary of the body.
We mourn his loss and sympathize
deeply with his family. We extend
to them the consolation which may
be found in the knowledge that he
was an honest man, an upright and
useful citizen, and faithful friend.

THE BLINDNESS OF VIRTUE
AT THE MAJESTIC NEXT WEEK

1t is an actual fact that in nine
out of every ten American homes the
question, to frown upon any discus
sion of the problem of sex mystery
will no longer be possible With the
subject taken up in the public
schools, parents will have to recog-
nize its Importance. OF course strong
propaganda will be necessary to
bring the great mass of people to a
true realization of its Importance,
but on every side are evidences of
this propaganda. One of the strong
est sermons against the fallacy that
ignorance is the strength of virtue
is "The Blindness of Virtue" play
from the pen of Cosmo Hamilton, an
English writer, which will be pro-
duced at the Majestic all next week.

Trenton, May 8.-Governor Field
er yesterday replied to Rev. George

the Governor to. issue a proclamation
for the observance of Mothers Day.
The Governor said he was in COM
plete accord with the desire to set

of honoring the mothers of our land.
Il hope all the people of New Jersey
will join In the observance of the day
and at the N emory's fIower-the white

the Governor said.
Governor Fielder, however, did
not take with favor the request for
the assurance of proclamation for
the observance of the day. so many
requests reach me to issue proclamat-
ions for the observance of special
days, that were I to comply with all,
proclamations would lose their force
because of their frequency. | am,
therefore, attempting to limit my
proclamatfons to such mattere as be-
long strictly to the functions of the
state and municipalities, and for this
reason, must ask you to excuse me
from complying with the request
contained in your telegram of Thurs
day, concerning Mothers Day am
however, in complete accord with
your desire to set apart May 8 for
the special purpose of honoring the
mothers of our land On that day a
tribute from every heart should be
offered to the dearest and noblest of
