Alfred P. Skinner, son of former

drowning, in telling of the affair to
day, said:
"The first Intimation that I hud
that we were in a dangerous position
was when I saw the watchman on
the bridge waving for us to halt. We
did not see the red light until we had
t.(fried the bend leading to the bridge.
Then it was too late. The machine,

and started to go after him. When
i was within ten feet of my chum, he
disappeared and It was all I could do

' "We clung to that ledge for at
least, fifteen minutes.”

tOy hands were numb. T shuddered
at tho sight of losing Stanton, who
was toy roommate for five v-ars. I
knew he could not swim. He had a
fear of the water.
’"I crawled over a rope along the
bridge and slipped back into the
water. I was frightened by this
jfcne, as I never thought l would
get to the top of the bridge
"When 1 did find a way to get to

Tax 1 Driver's Story.
Louis Benisch, the taxicab driver
who took the three survivors home,
said today that he had seen the party
at the "four corners” about 12.30
o'clock, more than an hour before the
accident occurred.
"I was sitting in my machine in !
front of the Kinney building about j
12:30 o'clock this morning,” said !
Benisch. "when a big six-cylinder car
came tearing along- Broad street. J
There were seven or eight young men i
in the machine, and they all were j
laughing and joking and having a j
jolly time.
"One of the young men got out of I
the machine, and the others, after j
circling the "four corners” several
times, started down Market street in
the direction of the Plank road. They
were all in evening drees.
"I thought little of the occurrence
at the time. About 1:«5 o’clock the
City Hospital ambulance went tear
ing ilown Market street. I attached j
little importance to this, either. A I
short time- later a Plank road car
pulled into Broad street coining east, I
and three young men in evening j
dress, drenched to the skin, crossed j
over to where I was stationed and j
asked me to drive them home.
"I did not stop to question the men, i
but. I Immediately recognised them as !
members of the party test had been
at the "four corners" a short time
before.
I said. You must have had a bad
spill, didn't you?’ "
Hail Been In Newark Once.
" 'Yes,' replied one of the trio, ‘we j
ran over an open drawbridge and ■
were dumped into the Passaic.’
"I gathered from the conversation '
of the men that they had attended
ohm sort of an entertainment In
Newark and had decided to take a lit
tle Joy ride to Jersey City Heights.
On the way back the accident oc
curred.
‘‘The youths were shivering in their
wet garments, and I got three blank
ets, one from my own taxi, one from
my brother Joe's and one from an
other car, and wrapped them about
my charges!
“I was then directed by the young
men to drive to Eleventh street and
Nineth avenue, and there the young
est of the three, a youth of about
nlnteen or twenty, got out. One of
the trio, who lives in South Orange,
urged the ‘kid’ to go home with him
and spend the night, but the invita
tion was declined.
‘‘The third man, who 1 think lives
in Newark, accepted the invitation to
go to his friend's house in South Or
ange. I was then told to drive to
Hartford road, South Orange, and
stopped the machine at the third
house In from the corner of Centre
street. The young men got out, took
me into the hall and paid me. It was
a very large and handsome house,
and all of the young men seemed to
have the earmarks of refinement.
‘‘I bid the boys good night and
drove back, stopping at the City Hos
pital on the return trip. There I
learned that the gateman at the
bridge had been badly hurt. T then
drove back downtown.’’
Prominent Socially.
The Andrus family is prominent In
society circles In South Orange. Mr.
Andrus is head of a largo drug man
ufacturing firm in New York city. At
the Andrus residence, 351 Hartford
road, South Orange, today, it was
mill that Lyman D. Andrus had gone
to New York on business.
A member of the family said that
the young man had returned home
early this morning, and save for the
fact that his clothing was wet from
the plunge in the river he was un
harmed.
"He is perfectly all right and went
to New York on business," the in
former said.
The automobile hackman, who drove
Andrus to his South Orange home,
after the accident, had three passen
gers. One he left at Ninth avenue
and Eleventh street, this city. The
South Orange man, at this point, re
marked to his other companion:
"Come home with me tonight and
remain until you get ready to go."
The auto then proceeded to South
Orange. The guest of the South Or
ange youth presumably was young
Hay, of Du Bois. Pa.
There was no reason to conceal any
part of the unfortunate affair, as norm
but the chaufTeur of the machine that
plunged Into the river could bo hold
amenable for the disaster.

impossible for him to know whether
his orders are being carried out. lie
needs somebody who has more time
to attend to these matters."
Following the previous meeting of
the board, at which Captain Browp
was made acting inspector, President
Breldenbach stated that in his ca
pacity as inspector Captain Brown
would he neither over nor under the
ehlef in authority, but would take his
orders directly from the board.
The nine lieutenants and nine ser- ]
geants summoned before the board to ?
show cause why they should not be '
reduced in rank were given a hearing
yesterday. Action in the matter was
postponed by the board until April 15
to permit passage by the State Senate
of House bill No. S16, which provides
for the demotion of public employes
under civil service. This was done at
the request of counsel for the men,
John W. McUeehan, Jr., who pointed
cut that under the present laws some ;
doubt exists as to whether the men,
if removed from their present posi
tions, would not automatically cease
to ho members of the police depart
ment. The bill pending in the Legis
lature provides that police and tire
men may be reduced in rank for pur
poses of economy. Upon such reduc
tion, their names are placed upon a
preferred list and future promotions
must be made from this list.
Argument Against Demotion,
In presenting the case of the men
to the board, Mr. McGeehan contended
that the number of lieutenants and
rergeants is not a greater number
than is required for the conduct of
the department. This was g.ven by
the board as one of its reasons for
summoning the men to show cause
v hy they should not be demoted. Air.
McGeehan referred to the long tours
of duty of the desk lieutenants before
the last police board promoted the
eighteeu men to make possible the
present system. At that time, the
lieutenants worked on an average ot
eight hours a day every day in the
year, never receiving a day oft. He
declared that • the men before the
board had earned their promotion
through years of faithful service. The
average of the terms of service of the
t.lne lieutenants la twenty and three
quarter years, he said.
The men whom the board seeks to
demote are Lieutenants Harry T.
Stillman, Patrick Durken, Andrew J.
McKennoy, Michael J. Tully, Patrick
Farley, James F. O’Neill, John J.
Kellett, James Farrell and Castor W.
Gray; Sergeants Frank E. Brex,
Christopher Kyan, John L. Todd,
Frank W. Van Houten, Honry F. Cor
bitt, George L. RosenfekJer, William
H. Wltdenmann, Thomas McEvoy
and Alfred Colt,
Honorably Discharged Soldiers.
Lieutenant McKenncy and Sergeant
Todd further claimed exemption from
demotion on tne score that they are
honorably discharged from the United
States military service. John F. Mur
ray, Jr., appeared as further counsel
for Sergeant McEvoy, who is In the
mounted squad, and contended that
two sergeants are necessary for the
managing of the squad.
After urging that the present num
ber of sergeants and lOut.'nants is
necessary, Mr. McGeehan asked that
if the board would not reconsider Its
intended action, it postpone the action
until the Senate considers the bill be
fore it. After congratulating counsel
and thanking the men for their atti
tude toward the board’s action, Com
missioner John L. Reid moved that
Air. McGeehan's request for a post
ponement until April 15 be granted.

J. Tully, asked to be retired from the
department on half pay as a lieu
tenant, ©00 yearly. The beard voted
to grant this request. Lieutenant
Tully is fifty-two years old and has
been on the police force twenty-four
years. During all of this time he was
never before a police board on
charges. He was appointed to the
force July 14, 1891, as a chanceman in
the First precinct, and was made a
patrolman two years later. In 1902 he
was detailed to traffic duty at Market
and Mulberry streets, and three years
later at Market and Broad streets.
He was made a roundsman, the equlv
lent of the present rank of sergeant,
on April X, 1908. He remained at Mar
ket and Broad streets until he was
made a lieutenant on December 16
last, and became well known to thou
sands of Newarkers as the "Czar of
the Four Corners.’’ He is at present
in the Fifth precinct. His retirement
will date from May L
Stocky Suit to Be Retired.
It became known yesterday that
t aptain William H. Stucky, in charge
of the mounted and motorcycle
aquads, one of the most highly re
garded men on the force, will apply
for retirement on half-pay pension at
the next meeting of the police board.
Captain btucky was born May 8,
1860. He was appointed to the force
as a chanceman in the Fourth pre
cinct on January 20, 1891, and in the
next year made a patrolman. In 1894
he was transferred to the mounted
squad and the balance of his service
has been in that squad. He was made
a roundsman in 1896, a lieutenant in
1907, and a captain on April 1 of last
year.
While a lieutenant In the mounted
squad, Stucky initructed the squad in
their duties and took charge of the
pfstol practice of the entire force. He
still has these duties. Captain Stucky
Is an excellent horseman, a crack shot
with the pistol, and has been prom
inent In athletics, being a clever ama
teur boxer. He gives falling health as
the cause for his retirement. Captain
Stucky will retire May 1 on a pension
of half pay as a captain. $1,250 yearly.
FIGHT FRAME-UP,
SAYS SUNDAY
(Continued from First Page.)
when he found that the "rookie” was
without funds, " ‘Hell,' said Anson, |
and he chucked me $20.
"But not long ago,” said Billy, "I
came across him piaying vaudeville
and I gave him my check for $50 and
I said to him: ‘Pop, I guess that pays
up for the twenty you lent me when
I came to Chicago to play ball.’ ’’
Early struggles In evangelistic !
work, too, were recalled by Billy. He
was evidently not as sure of himself ,
then as he is now.
“The first tabernacle we built cost I
us $500,” he said, "and we lay awake
three weeks wondering where we i
were going to get the money from
to pay for it.” Ma Sunday nodded j
her head affirmatively.
Billy laughed when he told of his
first experiences. "I had exactly
eight sermons In those days,” he
said, “and we couldn’t stay in one i
town over a week.”
"Yes,” said Ma, "they would beg us
to stay but we just had to leave.”
Both admitted that they had been
'•scared to death" when they struck
their first "big” town, Elgin, 111., with
Its then 22,000 people.
"Do you use those eight sermons
still?” Billy was asked.
"The frame work of them,” he an
swered. "You can always keep the
gospel up-to-date.”
New York and its possibilities for
campaign work occupied Billy’s and
Ma’s attention when the question was
flashed at them:
"Would you like to go to New
York?”
"Sure, I’d like to go to New York,”
said Billy. "But we haven’t been in
vited there and we go only where
we're invited.”
"We never seek invitations,” broke
In Ma Sunday, "and we never send
out advance men or anything like
that.”
Billy seemed to visualize a New
York revival. "And you’d have to
roof over a whole city block,” he
said with a wistful smile, "to hand! -
the crowds that would come to hear
me.
“I’d like to go to New York because
New York people are so energetic,
so full of pep.”
CALLED BRUTAL
(Continued from First Fare.)
VTou raise four principal objections:
•'First—His support of the late re
markable decision in the ninety-cent
gas case which, If sustained, would
effectively destroy the power to regu
te the service rates of public utility,
is a late evidence of his bent of mind.’ I
As you know, this matter is now be
fore the Court of Appeals. It may
be that you desire ‘to stimulate in the
press and otherwise sinister influence
upon the rehearing of this issue.’
"If you had intended to be entirely
frank, it would have been only fair
for you to have stated the essential
a^’s upon which your opinion was
based — namely, that the Utility]
Commission had not made an allow
ance in their computations for the
value of the franchises of the gas
company. Of course, the governor is
familiar with that feature, but I am
not ao sure that the public at large,
from whom you hope to stimulate to
expressions ‘of similar sentiments’ of
such weight and character as your
own, are quite as familiar. It's
enough to add that members of the
bar of New Jersey do not consider it
ethical to discuss in the public press
matters which are depending before
tho highest court in the State for
Judgment.
“Second—You criticise his famous
decision on the bench ‘that the life of
a child cannot be valued by the Jury
at more than six cents.’ In the flrBt
place there isn’t any such decision.
There was, however, a Graham case,
which reached the Appellate Court
upon four appeals. You fail to state
the true facts of that ‘brutal legal
ism,' as you term it, and also to
remind the Governor that Chief Jus
tice Magte, Justices Van Syckel, Gar
rison, Depue and Hlpplncott at one
time or another, when the case came
before the higher court, coincided and
agreed with the opinion of Chief
Justice Gummere, which had as its
basis not only the statute law of this
State, but also the Interpretation of
that law by Chief Justice Beasley in
a similar case. The suit was for the
benefit of the father of the deceased,
a boy four and a half years of age
and was based upon the law of this
State, which permitted the next of
kin (father In this Instance) ‘to re
cover damages for the pecuniary In
jury resulting to him from the death
of the deceased,' and the court held
In all the cases ‘the damages to be
properly awarded In the case were
such as would compensate the father
for the reasonable expectations of
pecuniary benefit from the deceased
during the period of his minority
when he owed services to his father
and thereafter when he would be
come emancipated by being of full
age.’
“The question of the value of a
human life in no way entered into
tho judgment fi£ Chief Justice Gum
mere. The cases are reported In 33
Vroom, page 90; 35 Vroom, page 10;
36 Vroom, page 510, where they are
accessible and could have been ex
amined by you at any time. It may
be that as you are not a member ol
the bar of this State that you were
not familiar with these law reports.
If you rest upon your lack of knowl
edge on this subject, that, however,
is no excuse for your brutal refer
ence to the matter. _____
Indictment* Were Found.
"Third—You next call the gov
ernor's attention to the Clifton ave
nue accident and add that Judge
Gummere sent for the grand Jury
and made a long argument to them
against indictments. Although I
have not been able to And his charge
to the grand Jury upon that matter
within the few hours of the publica
tion of your letter yesterday after
noon. I feel sure that the full charge
Is printed in the New Jersey Law
Journal, so that It Is readily obtain
able. However, your admission that
indictments were found leads me to
believe that Judge Gummere did not
‘make a long argument to them
against indictments.’
"The case was regularly brought to
trial. I am assuming that you were
not present, nor heard the evidence.
Neither do you give the source of
your information 'that. Judge Gum
mere directed the Jury to acquit these
men on the ground that they did not
have any knowledge of the condition
existing at the fatal crossing nor of
the fact that there was no sand on
the trolley car that might have been
used to check its velocity on the Icy
morning of the collision.’ You add
that this direction has been generally
recognized as the 'flagrant miscar
riage of Judgment.' Here again you
are misstating the facts. The case Is
reported in the New Jersey Law
Journal of 1903, page 264. At the trial
Justices Dixon and Van Syckel sat
with the chief justice, and all Judges
first conferred and then concurred
in the opinion of the chief justice.
You either did not know of the con
currence of Judges Dixon and Depue
or you purposely refrained from
making mention of the fact. In
either view, your statement is vul
nerable. If you felt that there was
any substantial criticism of the chief
Justice with reference to the Graham
case, why did you not object to hl»
reappointment seven years ago?
LBwiuing to Believe statement.
"Fourth—Your final reason Is based
upon information of the attitude of
'Justice Gummere, concerning the ex
traordinary zeal in the interest of the
trolley company’ with respect to the
complainants, charges, etc., relative
to the unsate, unsanitary and over
crowded conditions maintained by the
company. My connection with the
company at that time puts me in a
position to state from my own per
sonal knowledge some facts with ref
erence to this criticism. In this con
nection I am unwilling to believe that
Mr. Morgan of that particular grand
jury has informed you, or anyone
else, of the deliberations of the grand
Jury in violation of their oath. As a
matter of fact, some indictments
were found against the company.
"These indictments related to the
fenders, alleged unsafe conditions of
the cars., etc., as you have stated.
The company during that period was
gradually changing its operating
equipment and doing everything In its I
power to bring about the first-class
condition which exists today. There
was considerable public clamor, and
it may be that the chief Justice, as
you say, did advise the grand Jury
not to yield to such clamor. As far
as I understand the law, it was the
duty of the chief justice to so charge
the grand Jury. However, indictments
were found and turned over to Mr.
Henry Young, the then prosecutor
of Essex county. After careful ex
amination Mr. Young entertained 1
grave doubts as to the success of • I
trial upon the Indictments.
Retained Samuel kalincb.
"It was apparent that a trial would !
be long, Involved and expensive, and
Mr. Young was extremely reluctant
to undertake a prosecution upon the
indictments on the evidence which
had been presented to him, and he de
termined to get the advice of an Inde
pendent mind upon the subject. At
that time, 19117, there were a large
number of damage suits being con
stantly brought and tried against the
Public Service Railway Company and
its subsidiary companies. In many
of these cases Mr. Samuel Kaliscn
represented the parties bringing the
actions. For this reason and for the
further reason that he was an able
lawyer of recognised ability and
astuteness, Mr. Young decided to re
tain him to advise upon the probable
success of a prosecution of the In
dictments.
"The indictments and the proofs
were put in Mr. Kallsch’s hands and
after minute examination he advised
against the prosecution of the Indict

PETKOORAD. April The most
furious bayonet battle In the history
of the world la being fought on the
southern ridge and slopes of the Car
pa.th.ans at the Lupkow Pass, accord
ing to dispatches reaching here today.
In snow-filled feullles and up and
nown the slippery mountain sides the
struggle is going on. The Austrians
In their retreat southward from the
railway abandoned much of their ar- ,
tillery. The Russians moved up the
heights supported only by small
mountain guns.
Neither side has been able to put Its
artillery to effective use In the broker
ranges. Guerilla warfare, fierce strug
gles between small groups in the nar
row defiles, .vlth Austrian and Slav
clashing with cold steel, Is strewing
ihe Lupkow region with thousands of
dead.
The czar's troops have not yet
passed the Lupkow, according to ths
best Information available at the war ,
office today. They have driven the
enemy from each successive height
dominating the railway, the Austrians
making their stand on the last ridge.
Because of the nature of the fighting • .
at this point dispatches are conflicting
and it is possible that with both
lines broken by intervening moun
tain peaks a few small bodies of Rus
sians have made their way down the
southern slopes through the Austrian
lines.
Heavy reinforcements have been
thrown into the attack on the Lup
kow. The war office believes that
cnce the way is cleared through this
pass the right wing of the enemy »
north of tho Uszok will begin to
withdraw.

Young moved to nolle pros the indict

Not Cam]Id With Governor.
"I am not at all sure that this mo
tion was made before the chief Jus
tice or before the presiding Justice of
the Court of Common Pleas. Some
of these facts were stated to me di
rectly by Mr. Young, and others by
Mr. Kalisch, W o Is now,as you know, J
a Justice of the Supreme Court. Here
again you have failed to be entirelv
candid with the governor. The short
time before the daily publication goes
to press has materially restricted a
more extensive reply to your com
munication.
“I think It must be apparent to you.
however, that you should re-address
yourself to the governor with a *-tate
ment of the entire facts relating to *
the matters you have called to his
attention. It does not take courage,
save of the kind the money-chan girs
possessed when they entered the Tem
ple of Jerusalem, to make an lnsldioua
criticism and give It publicity before
the ink Is dry. Very truly yours,
“JOHN A. BERNHARD."
