tliecial to the EVEN /NO NBWB.
Trenton, Novfl β :—The supremo
court lias just hauderl down an opin
1 ion holding that the verdict of $2,000
I recovered by James Tarpey, of Dun
jelien, Middlesex county, against the
I Public Service Railway Company, is·
! excessive. The suit arose out of an j
! alleged assault committed upon Tar-'

; the plaintiff from the car. The al-,
ι leged assault took place on Decem
ber 22, 1912. Tarpey sued for

BOÏ IS HELD FIB
STEALING HORSE
FRffl KEÏPDHT
Though only eleven years old,
Frank Dressier, of Raritan avenue,
who was arrested here last night by
Detective Sergeant Η off, is being
held today in the Keyport lockup on
a charge of grand larceny, in that
he is accused of stealing a horse and
buggy and bringing it to this city.
Yesterday afternoon, George
Wainwright, the owner of the horse
and buggy, loaned them to Jaines
Shafto and another Keyport resident
to use going clamming. Mr. Shafto
and his friend started for the beach
near Cliffwood. On the roadway
they saw Dressier, who asked for
a ride. He left the men near Cliff
wood, where the horse was tied.
Shafto and his friend dug a number
of clams, but on returning to the
place they had left the horse and
buggy, found it gone.
They notified Officer McCann
of Keyport, who immediately got on
the thief's trail. They trailed the
horse and wagon as far as Morgan,
but could not tell whether it con
tinued to Perth Amboy or went In
the direction of Old Bridge. The of
ficer, the owner and Mr. Shafto ι
reached this city at 10 o'clock and
Detective Sergeant Huff was assign
ed to the case by Chief Burke. The
detective knew that some time ago
Dressier had stolen a horse and bak
ery wagon from Port Reading and
went to the neighborhood where the
boy lived. He located the horse and
buggy near the lad's home, and
found Dressier himself at home in
bed. The horse and buggy, contain
ing two valuable, blankets, and other
property belonging to the Keyport
men were taken to Liddle and Pfeif
fer's livery. Officer McCann was |
given custody of the boy this morn-1
ing and he ^vas taken to Keyport for
irraignment. He will probably bo
<ent to Jumesburg.

Spccial to the BPENINU NEWS.
South Amboy, Nov. 6:—The eon
test between John Connors and Rich
ard B. Hillman over the office of
street commissioner of South Ainboy
has just been settled by the supreme
court. Justice Parker having filed an
opinion holding that Hillman is en
titled to the office. This decision
practically means that the Repub
lican council has scored a victory in
the other two similar cases pending,
viz: Frederick H. M. P. Pearce vs.
Francis P. Coan for the office of city
solicitor, and Ira B. Martin vs. Dan
iel Donlin for the office of water com
missioner.
Connors orougnt tne sun. on iiuu
warranto to oust Hillman, the plain
tiff claiming that he was the legal of
ficer. Hillman filed a demurrer to
the plea and Justice Parker gives him
judgment on the demurrer.
The facts shown in the action were
that Connors, on January 1, 1909,
was appointed street commissioner
"by motion" of common council of
Sonth Amboy and that in the same
manner the term was fixed at two
years. He was reappointed in 1911
and again in 1913. On January 1,
1914, the new common council, hav
ing a Republican majority for the
first time in several years, by resolu
tion declared this office, as well as
that of city attorney and water com
missioner, to be vacant, and appoint
ed Richard B. Hillman, Francis P.
Coan and Daniel Donlin to the re
spective offices, basing their action on
the fact that the former incumbcnts
of the offices had not been legally ap
pointed because the South Amboy city
charter requires that such offices
shall be filled by ordinance. Justice
Parker in rendering his judgment,
says this point was well taken.
When Connors, Pearce and Martin
were ousted the Democratic minority
in the city council, Messrs. O'Connor
and Stanton refused to nominate or
ballot for the offices, declaring that
they were not legally vacant. Coun
cilman-at-Large Collin Stratton, and
Councilmen A. H. Slover and A. C.
Chevalier, however, proceeded to ap
point new office holders, naming
Francis P. Coan, who is a brother of
County Solicitor John A. Coan, to
succeed Pearce; Richard B. Hillman
to succeed Connors, who is a brother
of Councilman O'Connor, and Daniel
Donlin to succeed Ira H. Martin.
Justice Parker's decision sustains
their action in naming the new in
cumbents. The judgment thus scores
a big victory for the Republican coun
cil and for City Attorney Coan.

FITCH APPEAL IS
Β «IN
SUPREME COURT
Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, Nov. 6.-—Proceed
ings taken by the board of Education
of South Amboy ia ousting Prof.
Russel M. Fitch front his office as
supervisor of schools of that city
were reviewed on appeal Wednesday
before part II of the supreme court,
to which It has been carried by
Counsellor Thomas Brown of Perth
Ambcy, attorney for the former su
perintendent. The removal of Prof.
Fitch has been sustained by the com
missioner of education ahd the State
Board of Education, to which ap
peals had been taken.
The appeal of Prof. Fitch was
based on the ground that he was
protected by the tenure of office act
of 1903. The charges on which he
was tried were preferred by a com-1
mittee from the board of education
and lie received his initial hearing
before that eame committee. One
of the allegations was inefficiency.
It was contended for Mr. Fitch that
the action of the local board in re
ferring the case to a committee de
prived him of a legal hearing. Other
defects in the proceedings, including
lack of deflniteness In the charges
were also alleged.
Authough they cannot have any
bearing on the case, conditions in the
local school affairs that have arisen
at the present time lead to the jus
tification of Prof. Fitch.
When the hearing on the case took
place before Commissioner of Educa
tion J. Brognard Betts in the Perth
Amboy high school, Mr. Fitch, in his
defense against the charges made
that he did not give proper attention ;
to class room supervising, stated !
that a large portion of his time was !
taken up In making out reports as !
demanded by the state school board
That his assertion was correct is
borne out by the fact that at a meet
ing "of the local board of education,
held several weeks ago, City Super
intendent Barr, who filled the va
cancy created by the ousting of Prof.
Fitch, pleaded for clerical assistance
in his office on the ground that he
could not give any time to supervis
ing on account of the work necessi
tated by the state reports.
Alonzo L. Grace, who was one of
the prime movers in the action taken
to oust Mr. Fitch, favored the sug
gestion and introduced a motion to
procure the necessary assistance.
This motion was voted down after J.
Frank Fulton, a new member of the
board of education, stated that such
an action would not only justify Prof.
Fitch but would put the board in a
bad position before the public. He
stated that Prof. Fitch had not been
given clerical assistance and that his
plea of having to devote a large por
tion of his time to this branch of
work would certainly be justified if
Superintendent Barr, receiving sev
eral hundred dollars more salary than
Prof. Fitch, was given an assistant,
following his admission that he could
not keep up his class room supervis
ing without additional help.

ILES AGAINST
LOCAL MAN IN
; 19,000 ACTION
It took a jury in the cldcuit court
of'Tïùïon 'cô'ûttf? bût ten minutes yes
terday afternoon to award a verdict
for the Central Railroad of New
Jersef 1h faVôr of the defendant
company. Benjamin Wander, a sa
loonkeeper of this city, was suing
to recover $ S ,Ό Ο υ for alleged inju
ries received when he declared he
was thrown from a train June 18.
The saloonkeeper alleged that he
was thrown from the train as it
started from the station in this city.
The company resisted the claim on
the grounds that he jumped from
the train while it was in motion. In
the fall the man's left shoulder blade
was broken and his shoulder dislo
cated. He asserted that Inability to
personally attend the saloon busi
ness made -it -it losing proposition.
This loss and the pain and suffering
formed the basis of the suit.
Suits to Recover $150,000.
Suits to recover $150,000 from
the government were started in the
United States district court, New
ark branch, before Judge William
H. Hunt, yesterday. The suits num
bering eighteen, were instituted by
public utility companies to recover
the sum which was paid under pro
test under the old tax law, whereby
corporations were assessed one per
cent of their net earnings. Besides
the Public Service, among the other
companies joining as plaintiffs is
the .Middl.eses Lighting Company.
