Alleged Forged Note Figures
in Case That Caused Fight
in Office
ASSAULT CHARGE MADE
Also DisorderIy Conduct
Matter Will Be Heard Next
Monday Night

Trouble starting as result of an
argument over an alleged forged
note for $1,000, caused quite some
commotion in this city yesterday
and resulted in the arrest of John
Krichman. fifty-three, of 6S Van
Buren, street, Newark, on three
charges preferred by Dora Kesner
500 state street. The Krichman and
Kesner people are said to be rela-
tives.
1t is alleged that the Kesner wo-
man, represented by S. G. Meister-
man, charged that Krichman and
his son forged a $1,000 note and
that when the Newark man came
down to the woman's store yester-
day, he made numerous remarks in
stead of making settlement, The
woman started for a lawyers office
at Smith street and Madison ave-
nue.. Her husband and Krichman,
also left for the same place and
what happened there, caused the
woman to press an assault and bat
terry charge. Attorney David VII
lentz, whose Office is in the rear of
the building, entered by the fighting
relatives, was attracted by the eX-
change of words and told the Wis
itors to go out in the street to fight,
or go TO poloce headquarters for set
tlement.
A race for headquarters was start
ed and Detective Murray had the
Newark man placed on the blotter
on two charges, both preferred by
the woman, one for disorderly con-
duct, and the second for assault
and battery with intent to kill. Last
night the charge of forgery was en-
tered on the police blotter.
The note causing all the trouble
was not available last night, and
the plaintiff was unable to prove
that an assault warranting a con-
viction had been made by the man.
No evidence for a conviction on a
disorderly conduct charge was pre-
sented.
Mrs. Kesner and her husband told
of Krichman reaching for his back
pocket during the argument in the
Smith street building, but they were
unable to prove that he had drawn
anything. David r. Wilentz appear
ed for Krichman last night. The
hearing on the forgery charge has
been set down for Monday night, at
which time the plaintiffs attorney
expects to bring in the note from
out of the state. Bail of $500 was
furnished last night for the appear
ance of Krichmah for a hearing or
this charge.

TRENTON, Nov. 17:-What may
have far reaching effect in the
struggle now in progress between the
jitney bus operators and the Public
Service Railway company for ''the
survival of the fittest' was the de-
cision obtained by the former today
from the Public Utility Board giving
certain bus men permission to issue
transfers in the city of Camden
which result in a decreased rate to
the travelling public. 1t means that
where, formerly d passenger had to
pay two distinct fares on the Cam
den buses affected by the order,
when changing fro none jitney line
to 60 a further distance on another,
he now will be able to save money
through the issuance of the transfer
which will permit him to ride on the
second bus without the necessity of
paying an additional fare.

FIELDER MAY
Be SELECTED
AS Late Justice Bergen's Sue
CeSSor--Judge Lloyd May
Succeed Justice SWayze

TRENTON, Nov. 17.-Latest talk
here on the appointments which
Governor Silzer is to make in the
near future respecting the supreme
court revived the name of Vice
I Chancellor James f. Fielder for one
vacancy and that of Circuit Judge
! Frank T. Lloyd, of Camden, for the
other. The gossip had it that Fielder
may get the Democratic place held
by the late Justice Bergen, of SOM
erset county. and Lloyd, being a Re-
publican. would fit in the vacancy
which the retirement of Justice
Swayze creates.
This selection of appointees would
keep the Supreme bench balanced
from a political standpoint and also
meet geographical considerations. es-
pecially with respect to the sugges-
ton of Judge Lloyd. He would meet
!, the desire for a South Jersey repre-
sentative on the supreme court.
something lacking since the retire
ment of Justice Garrison, of Camden
county, some years ago.
The elevation of Lloyd, however.
would eliminate Circuit Court Judge
Donges, who, until recently, seemed
absolutely assured of the vacancy
made by the death of Justice Ber-
gen. The turn down of Donges now
would likely cause political turmoil
for the Governor among the South
Jersey Democratic leaders who are
apparently behind the Circuit Judge
for this promotion
If the Fielder-Lloyd combination
should go through. it would mean a
vacancy on the chancery court bench
and in the circuit court. The talk
here is that Judge Luther A. Camp
bell, of Hackensack, might be ap-
pointed to Fielder's place. as Camp
bell is Democrat and the former
governors successor, who would be
named by the Chancellor and not the
governor, would likely be of that
party.
In the event this materialized
there would then exist two circuit
court plums to hand out at $4,000
year each with practically life ten
ure. In connection with one of them
Frederick M. p. Pearse's name is
mentioned. The rumor is that the
governor would likely pick his pri-
Vate secretary to the North JERSEY
place of Campbell in the event that
latter became a vice chancellor.
No names have been heard mem
TONED for the possible Lloyd va
cancy. Inasmueh as this jurist is
Republican the Governor would feel
constrained to name a successor of
the same political predictions.
Thus would the circuit court bench
retain its political equilibrium. But
where would the South Jersey Dem
ocrats get Off in sNch a turn of
events, asked the political dopesters.

letter directed to Chief of County
Detectives Ferd A. David under date
of November 16, written on the
stationery of the Elizabeth General
hospital in Elizabeth and bearing
the signature of Roy e. Ditmas,
leads the authorities to believe that
for some time past a speed trap be-
tween Highland Park and Metuchen
has been maintained in which con-
stables. special deputies and a JUS
tice of the peace have taken part.
The letter issued to the press this
morning tells Of the operation of the
speed trap. The full text of the COM
munication follows:-
while riding from New Bruns-
wick to Elizabeth one day last week
/ was passed by a Ford car in which
two boys were sitting in the front
seat. They shouted for me to come
ahead, which | did. When | passed
them was told to stop by con-
stable concealed in the rear of that
machine and l was ordered to a
small shack on the road and told
that my fine would be $15.75. | paid
S5.75 and l was asked to mail the
balance to the endorsed address.
The reason for writing you is not to
get out of the balance, for | already
did so, but to assure Jacob Riemer
and myself that the money went to
the proper party"
Mr.. Ditmars enclosed in the letter
a business card given to him at the
time of trapping, where the balance
of the fine was to be mailed. The
card is that of the Piscataway
Screen and Body Company, of which
i. =. Strongly Whitley is manager.
Mr. Strongly Whitley is one Of the JUS
tees of the peace in Raritan Town
ship.
Commenting on the letter Chief
David said this morning that he will
start an immediate investigation of
the trap maintained and after Sc
curing such necessary information.
will advise of the fact Commissioner
of Vehicles Dill for his further con-
sideration.
Complaints that automobilists are
being trapped and fined at random
on the Lincoln Highway within the
Raritan Township limits have been
made in the past few months indi-
rectly without any official investiga-
tion. The authorities charged with
these acts have denied the rumors
and complaints usually maintained
that arrests of speeders have been
made in accordance with the law
and general procedure.

woman living in the vicinity where
the murder took place. The dead

throw a stone at him. crying Shut
up or will smash it into your face"

fired the shot. There were many
witnesses present when the fatal
shooting occurred.

weschky, came into the shop yester-
day morning and found some lumber
missing. Investigating the loss, he
was led to the home of the accused
murderer and as Chartove attempted
to take the lumber away Ciserello, i
is said, pulled his gun, sending a
bullet into Chartove's body.

oSluoCldO py cCN 'N'SS'
Chief Justice William S. Gummere
yesterday granted the application of
MidlleseX county Republicans for
a recount of the votes cast for Orpen
and Kalteissen in freeholder recount
The date set for the beginning of the
recount was November 26. the New
Brunswick court house to be the
scene OF the recount The County
Board of Elections will conduct the
recount.
Judge Gummere did more than
grant the application of the Repub-
licans in that he also ruled that the
votes of Quakenbush and Dey be
as he pointed out the
elose all should be considered in the
recount The Democrats were
pleased with this order, but did not
!, approve of Butcher being left out
of the recount. They argued that
Butchers vote also should be
counted, but the judge held that the
vote of Butcher and John Bird was
so far behind that of the other
candidates, they should be elimi-
mated from the recount.
The Republicans were directed to
deposit with the Middlesex county
clerk $3,700 to pay the cost of the
III
Orpen elected. The court gave no
formal order in which he announced
the amount which the election board
members were to receive but he in
timated that $40 a man should be
paid. Kalteissen and John A. Coan
were in court when the application
for a recount was made and OBJ
jected to it's being granted unless 1t
included a recount of all of six can
didates for freeholder.
Justice Gummere also ordered
recount to start on November %,
in the mayoralty contest of High
land Park. The Democratic candi-
date. DR.. G. +. Leonard won by five
votes, according to the official fig
ures. The Republican applicant lie
Professor A. N. Hubert.
The Democrats will appear before
Justice Gummere this afternoon and
apply for recount in the shrievalty
race, claiming that the votes for
Gowen and Gebhardt were not prop
erly counted. Gowen already has
been granted a certificate of election
and has been sworn into office.
Another application for a recount
IS being made to the court today. it
being that the vote of Butcher, an
other Democratic candidate for free
holder. be recounted. Democrats de-
clared they had ample funds to pay
the cost of the recounts and felt
different results would be obtained
kNs a consequence of this move. Sam
Vel Hoffman, a New Brunswick at
Nforney, and Gebhardt appeared be-
fore Justice Gummere to make the
applications.
