ANCIENT LAWS
PRECEDENT FOR
LOCAL RULINGS
Essex Judges Resort to Old
English Statutes to Cover En-
pIoyers' Liability Cases.

-Four decisions in cases under the
employers liability act, three of them
involving the death of employees un-
der unusual circumstances. were filed
in the Essex County Court of Com
mon Pleas today by Judges William
p. Martin and Harry V. Osborne.
In two of the cases the employe was
burned to death and the courts, find
ing no similar cases under the New
Jersey law. had to follow decisions of
the English courts
In the third death cC sc a man went
insane as the result of an accident
to his head and while deranged COM
mitted suicide. The court held in this
case that the death was the direct re-
suit of an accident arising out of
and in the course of the mans en-
ployment, and allowed compensation
for twelve weeks at the rate of $7.20
a week
The three petitioners in the cases
where death occurred were granted
compensation, the application of the
fourth petitioner, who was hurt being
turned down because the court could
not find that an accident did occur or
that, if it did. that it was the cause Of
the injury complained of. In the three
cases in which compensation was

weekly sums for at least six years to
come. The decisions are likely to be
come leading ones in this State, on
the points involved.
BY a coincidence each OF the judges
had a case, in which the employe, n
girl in both cases. was burned to
death, and both quoted the same Eng
lish cases in making up their opin-
ions. One of the girls was a servant,
who was trapped in her room on the
fifth floor of an apartment house, ana
the other was a stenographer working
on the fourth floor of factory build
ing when fire broke out.
Lillian Blue Pinkett was the SER
want girl who lost her life in a fire
in the Aldine apartments, Broad and
Lombardy streets, May 8, 1914. She
was employed by DR.. Joshua w. Read
ad slept in room on the fifth floor.
Judge Martin, quoting numerous
cases, decided that her employment
was continuous, that is, twenty-four
hours a day, she being subject to call
at any time and being required to stay
on the premises.

MANUF FACTURERS
WILL CONFER ON
THE EXPOSITION
Meeting Called for Trade Board
Rooms Monday to Consider
AIIotments of Space.

Augustus V. Hamburg, president OF
the Board of Trade, has called a
meeting of 15O Newark manufacturers
for o'clock Monday afternoon in the
Board of Trade rooms, for the pur-
pose of discussing the Industrial Ex-
position to be held in connection with
the 250th anniversary celebration.
The object of the meeting is to as
certain how much space each manu-
facturer will require in the exposition.
Several manufacturers have already
applied for space. and it is believed
that the First Regiment Armory,
where the exposition Is to be held,
will prove too inadequate to accom-
modate the large demand.
A development of the meeting may
be that it will be decided to build
annexes near the armory in order to
provide space for all the manufac-
lures. According to Merle l.. Downs
manager of the exposition, $4,000
square feet of floor space will be
available for use in the armory. II
is expected that the demands Of the
manufacturers will be far in excess
of this space.
Mr.. Hamburg is chairman of tile
manufacturers and trade committee
of the Committee of One Hundred
amt, as such has called the niestipG
OF the manufacturers.
The exposition will open May a.
From the time that the first an
nouncement that an exposition would
be held, the greatest amount OF
enthusiasm has been displayed by
business men throughout the city
There Is every indication that the ex-
position will be one of the biggest
features of the anniversary celebra-
ton.
The Newark Industrial Manufac-
turers and Trades Committee, have
decided to use the words, Newark s
Exposition of Newark Products. by
Newark Manufacturers" on all theil
advertisements to be used in the com
ing 250th anniversary. This phrase Ii
liable to be the slogan of the exposi-
ton. One subscription was received
at the headquarters of the Committee
of One Hundred today. 1t was a do
nation of $40 from the Star Electrical
Supply Company

Investigation Shows Society
Woman Was Shot a Week Ago
Special TO the Evening Star.

GLADSTONE, Jan. 6.-An investi-
cation by County Detective Totten,
connected with the Somerset county
prosecutors office, today disclosed the
fact that Mrs. Arthur Hagan, wife of
"a New York broker and member of
the Essex Fox Hounds, herself an ex-
pert rider, was wounded by revolver
bullet New Years Eve near her home
here.
whether the wound was self-in-
flicted or otherwise is still a mystery,
and all facts of the shooting have
been covered with an almost impene-
trable cloak of secrecy No one con-
nected with the Hagan family will
discuss the subject. The investiga-
ton was ordered by Prosecutor A. M.
Beckman following the hearing of
persistent rumors that q prominent
woman had been shot.
The wound is in the right side OF
her chest. The facts cleaned by the
authorities to date lend credence to
the belief that Mrs. Hagan was not
shot BY an assailant, ..-...--..--..---

today from Genod. Naples and Paler-
mo. according to the captain, Luigi
Zannoni. After the vessel left Paler-
mo, the captain said, daily practice
was held with the guns, barrels haV-
ing been thrown overheard as targets.
The guns were placed on the Giu-
seppe Verdi by ordeC of the Italian
naval authorities, but the captain de-
clares he was instructed to use them
for defensive purposes only.
The two gunners became extremely
proficient in the practice of shooting
at the barrels, passengers said. The

OF the vessel, one on either side, and

all positions from the ship.
Strength of the Shells.
The captain described the guns as
having a cailber of n mn., capable
of firing a shell weighing 55 lxilos four
and one-half miles.
When the Giuseppe Verdi docked
here Il. A. Dowsey, a member of the
port neutrality squad, inspected the

port. The guns are still on the ship,
and no action will be taken by local
officials until report of the investi-

department probably viii take up

ton of guns mounted on the liner
Giuseppe Verdi, which arrived in New
York today. with n view to having
the pieces dismounted before the ship
leaves American waters.
The guns on the Verdi promise TO

been a disputed one since the war

the United States took the position
that ships entering American ports

in caliber. mounted we'll aft for pur-
poses of defense would not be con-
sidered armed, but reserved tue right
to change its position in the light OF
changing conditions of warfare and
the introduction of new elements
such as the submarine campaign.
The state department later had in
formal negotiations with Great
Britain and France through their am
bassadors here, and asked that any
guns whatever be removed from the
big passenger liners coming into
American ports.
