FICTION CHARACTER FOUND
TO BE REAL NEWARK LAWYER
! Remarkable Coincidence Is Related by William Hamilton Os
borne, Author of the New Pathe Movie Serial,
“Neal of the Navy.”
William Hamilton Osborne, of this
city, tvho for ten years has been one
of 'he ma*'l prolific of our short
story writers and the author of four
novels and of the Pat he-Balboa
seriel, "Neal of the Navy," which will
soon appear in the Newark Evening
Star, tells a etrange story of telep
athy or mental suggestion centering
about Ihe individuality of a Newark
man. There are only two instances
In the story, but they cover a. period
of twenty years 1 could not blame
you, says Mr. Osborne, if you chal
lenge this story as a piece of sheer
invention, but it is true in every
detail, in spite of the apparent em
broideries of fiction.
In the .September number of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine for 1907 ap
peared a short story by me entitled
"The Alibi of the Autocar," At that
time ! had been writing stories only
a few years and persisted in the
dangerous habit of using ihe names
of real people whom I knew. 1 had
given one of my pivotal characters
the name, let us say, of Klphlruotone.
That is not his real name, because
discretion is the better part of valor
and I might uncover another sleeping
volcano. Let us call him Elphinstone.
I always liked names of 'Three to
four syllables Elphinstone .1 net
suited me. One of the descriptive
phrases in the story ran like this:
"Elphinstone had betrayed a weak
ness that was dangerous.”
The Cosmopolitan sent the story
to Frank VerBeck, a well-known
artist, for illustration. Among the
four or five pictures which VerBeck
drew was one illustrating the above
phrase. Here came the strange, un
canny circumstances. In VerBeck’s
illustration the fictitious Elphinstone
was the exact counterpart of the
Elphinstone in real life. It was an
amazing portrait. The pictures were
humorous and the characteristic
points were exaggerated, but the
real Elphinstone was all there, face,
features, pose, even the manner. It
was a striking likeness.
Now, VerBeck had never seen the
real Elphinstone, knew nothing about
my methods of work and had never
seen his picture, yet here was Elphin
stone true to life with all his distinc
tive points emphasized.
When the story came out Elphin
stone raised a rumpus. He recog
nized the caricature as easily as he
reoogmized his own name Elphin
stone was certain I had given Ver
Beck some old Untype of him to
copy from or had given him a de
scriptive sketch., T managed to calm
| Kiphinstone temporarily by some kind
I of an abject apology.
I was so full of this strange colnci
I dence that I immediately wrote to
! Frank VerBeck telling him all about
| It. He was .impressed and wrote me
' somewhat vaguely, saying lhat he
j wanted lo use the Incident in a vol
! ume of personal reminiscences that he
; expected to print some time in the
i remote future. 1 readily acceded to
| his request. To no great dismay on
opening the November (1907) Cotmo
| politnn I found on the editorial an
I nounrenient pages a spread contain
ing the offending picture, with the In
scription under it, featuring my letter
to VerBeck and VerBeck’s comment
on it. i kept away from Kiphinstone
as long as possible, but this time T
hadn’t « leg to stand on because in
this letter to VerBeck 1 had posltlve
t 1y identified Kiphinstone with the
I city in which lie lived.
Now let me reminisce about my first
encounter w'ith EI phi n atone, which
happened about twenty years ago. El
phliwtone and T live In Newark, and
both of us still practice law there. Up
until 1*92 r had never seen Kiphin
stone and had never heard his name
mentioned. In that year T was ^at
tending a law school in New York
and read in a local paper that Kiphin
stone was attending the same school.
.Again let me emphasise that this
map's name and his face were totally
unfamiliar to me.
Apparently I was impressed with
some mysterious connotation in the'
name, for the next day at the law i
school 1 saw a man treading his way |
through a crowd of fifty or sixty stu-1
dents, and all at once It flashed over
me that this must he Elphlnatone. T
picked him out of the crowd and
asked him if that was his name, and
it was. As he was not a member of
my class, I had only this uncanny
reason for singling him out.
You may think I am reconstructing
this by unconscious Invention, as one
doe* In recalling a dream. Not at all.
I was simply impelled by some un
canny influence to pick a man who
fitted rhe name and I did. In fiction,
though not in fact, names are always
selected to suit characters. You
wouldn’t write a. story about a poet
and call him Mulligan, nor dub a hod
carrier Van Alstyne. Now the name
of Kiphinstone Just fitted the chief
character in my story, "The Alibi of
the Autocar," hut It also fits the man
to whom It belong* by rights. But the
name Elphlnstone conveyed to Ver
beck’s mental vision a portrait of the
man it fitted because It fitted that
kind of a looking man. The facts are
absolutely true. I leave the solution
of the riddle with you.
Aero Club of America, is making ar
rangements to hold avlatiofl meeds
every Saturday at the Sheepshead
Bay Speedway, beginning early in
the ppring.
‘The Sheepshead Bay Speedway

be awarded to the aviator who makes
the best time in a race from Sheeps

and return to Newark, where the race
will end.
‘Tn connection with the shove, the
first interestate mail-carrying line
(by aeroplane) can be established at
both Sheepshead Bay and Newark,
each being made an aerial mail sta

land at the finish of the race they
will take up hags of mail from
Newark and carry it to Sheepshead
Bay, whence it will be taken to the
Tegular New York postofflce, and
distributed tn the regular way. The
mall from Sheepshead Bay to
Newark would be carried hy any or

the race.

•This feature of mall carrying

Mr. Woodhouae. "Second Assistant

he authorizes the postmasters to use

“Aerial Mail Station Number -
The public is usually very interested
In a thing like that, and hundreds of
thousands of souvenir post cards

large profit to be sent by aerial mail
"A speoial prize for this feature
would not be necessary," said Mr.
Woodhouse, “except that the aviators
who carry the mail might he subsl- |
dized according to the amount of mail i
they oarry, purely as an inducement j
or to make it more business-like.
"In view of the good facilities you ]
have for Hying boats, a feature could ;
be made by establishing flying boat
passenger-carrying lines between
Newark and New York and other cen
tral points. A number of aviators
are planning lo establish flying boat
lines, and for a guarantee of $800 per
week an arrangement could be made
■with an aeroplane concern to have
one flying boat, or more, when the
number of passengers Justified the J
addition, at Newark to carry pas
sengers on short trips as well as be

“This entire program would in

Midwife's Second
Attempt at Suicide
May Be Successful
Mrs. Ottilie Haeder's Remark
to Daughter First Intimation
of Her Act.
Mrs. Ottilie Hader, of 550 Spring
field avenue, a midwife, forty-two
years old, is in the City Hospital and
probably will die from poison taken
yesterday with suieiday attempt.
This was her second attempt.
On April 13 last she took the same
kind of - poison and spent three
weeks in the City Hospital before
recovery. That time she did not
regulate the dose but yesterday,
profiting by past experience, she was
more' accurate.
According to the story told the po
lice by her daughter Matilda, Mrs.
Harder returned home late yesterday
afternoon, saying that she was ilLj
The woman's condition did not ap
l>ear to be eerious and the girl was
not greatly impressed by her mother's
words until the older woman said:
"Matilda, l don’t be with you much
longer.”
The girl then summoned Dr. Louis
Weiss, of 564 Springfield avenue, who
ordered the woman's immediate re
moval to the hospital. She had re
frained from telling her daughter
about her condition until the poison
had time to get thoroughly into her
system.

WOLF PROTEST
WILL BE SEN!
—
Knights of Erin Condemn Po
lice Judge's Actions in the
Cullen Case.
Condemning the actions of Police
Judge H. Edward Wolf in the cue
brought before him by the Catholic
Children’s Aid Society last week, in
which he made the statement that he
wouldn't believe an agent of the so
ciety "on a stack of biblea,” the
Knights of Erin, at a meeting In T.
A. B. S. Hail, Hudson and Hart
ford streets, last night voted to send
a protest to the Common Council
against the payment of any salary to
the third police Judge.
Wolfs conduct In obtaining the
Judgeship and his conduct of hie Of- J
tice since his appointment by Mayor
Raymond were roundly scored. He
was declared to be Incompetent and
temperamentally unfitted for his Job.
In a letter sent in behalf of the or
ganiaatiln, Alexander P. Cashin. scru
tator. calls the attention of Alderman
Theodore D- Gottlieb to the judge's
alleged shortcomings and asks him to
present a protest to the finance com
mittee against (he payment of any
salary to Wolf or any other incum
bent of the third judgeship.
Mr. Gottlieb was selected to send
the protest to because he Is Interested
In social welfare work and is a mem
ber of the Public Welfare Committee,
whose work Mr. Cashin declared was
of great benefit to the city.
“X» Bom” Leacae.
Mr. Cashin also reported that an In
vestigation of the petition of the "No
Boss League” for Assembly revealed
that the influences that were behind
It were the same that conducted a
secret campaign under the name of
the "Patriotic Voters" laet year. One
of their platform pledges was "the
separation of church and State,” Mr.
Cashin said. He pointed out that
they had three ministers on their
ticket.
"If Dr. Wallace W. Colby, the “Pa
triotic Voters' " candidate for sheriff
last year, Is successful for any office
in the primary this year," declared
Mr. Cashin, "1 will run as an inde
pendent for the same office and I’ll
make him fight in the open."
Mr. Cashin alao declared that the
"Anti-Dai" organization was closely
bound up with the influence behind
the "No Boss Dengue." The jumping
of William J. Wakefleld, jr., from the
Assembly ticket of the "No Bosses”
to the freeholder ticket of the "Anti
Dai’s” showed how closely they were
related, he asserted.
Letter to Gottlieb.
The letter sent by Mr. Cashin to
Alderman Gottlieb In reference to ths
Wolf case was as follows:
"Dear Mr. Gottlieb:
"You are a member of the Common
Council and will have some voice In
the fixing of any salary for the new
Third Criminal Court, hence my rea
son for addressing you.
"On behalf of the organization rep
resented by me 1 request you to pre
sent our,objection to the fixing of .my
salary for this court on the following
grounds:
"1. The court js entirely unnecessary
and therefore a burden to the tax
payers. From reliable information
secured by us we arc propured tp
prove the court In question does not
sit on an average of three hours a
day. In times past the criminal busi
ness of this city has been adequately
handled by two police judges, and
even I hey have found it necessary to
give but ft small percentage of their
time to the performance of court
duties.
"2. It seems to us that the man
ner In which the position was se
cured was, to express it mildly, un
ethical. It Is a sorry sight to see a
legislator Introduce a bill with the
full knowledge and Intent that he
wns to profit thereby, and to use his
utmost efforts to push the thing
through—perhaps to the neglect of
his other legislative duties—and then
to actually profit thereby by securing
his own appointment.
‘•3. We object strongly to the per
sonality of the present Incumbent,
believing him to be not qualified for
the position. He has shown a lack
of judicial Judgment and discretion.
This statement is substantially
proven by his attitude in the recent
case of the complaint of the Catholic
Children's Aid Society and his ap
parent arbitrary treatment of the
agents of that society, Mr. Cullen
and Mr. Ryan.
"Mr. Cullen Is a man of Judgment,
intelligence and fidelity to the inter
ests of the society and to the chil
dren of Newark, and we deplore the
open and notorious attack made by
Judge Wolf on him.
"We request that you present this
protest to the finance committee of
the Common Council, whom we under
stand has the power to fix the salary
of the judge in question.
Respectfully yours,
ALEXANDER F. CASHIN.
Scrutator.
Did Not Sw Wolf.
Mr. Cashln declared he had made
an Investigation of the case of Mar
garet Reilly, in which the attempt of
John A. Cullen, agent of the Chil
dren's Aid Society, to make a com
plaint for neglect, resulted in the
tiff with the court. Mr. Cashln said
he had not seen the Judge, Mr. Cullen
or any one else connected with the
row in court, except the woman in
volved and her child, whom she was
charged with neglecting.
The Investigation showed, according
to Mr. Cashin, that the Anti-Tuber
culosis League, requested Mr. Cullen
to do what he could for the little
girl, who was said to be suffering'
from tuberculosis, besides being men
ially deficient. Mr. Cashin reviewed
the reports of the league's nurses,
the statements of neighbors and the
reports of the Bureau of Associated
Charities. All of them showed the
home of the Rellly'e to be in a filthy
and neglected condition and proved
the woman to be a drunkard, he said.
Mr. Cashin declared that when
Judge Wolf was two year* old and
still tied to his ^mother’s apron
etrings Mr. Cullen was engaged In the
work in which Mr. Wolf now at
tempts to dictate to him. He also
called attention to the faot that Wolf
is only three years a member of the
bar and is asking the city to pay
him $4,500 a year.
“X challenge Judge Wolf to show
that any lawyer In Newark would
pay him $20 a week for his services
or that any such lawyer ever paid
him that much.
"Judge Wolf, I ask you to review
your work since you’ve been on the
bench and ask yourself, ‘Am I com
petent?' If the answer is No, resign
immediately and let the office be abol
ished.
"And I call on Mayor Raymond—if
It is true as reported that he has the
resignation of all his appointees In
his safe—to take out Wolf's, put the
date stamp on It and retire him.
Keep your promise of giving us effl
uent public servants, Mr; Mayor."

weeks ago anti long before the con
troversy with Senator Colgate arose.
Senator Colgate said today that lie
couldn't explain why it was that the
State Federation officials had not re
ceived his letter. He declared that
he had mailed it himself from hia
office jn Jersey City, the same time
that he had sent copies to the news
papers. He said he had been of the
belief that the Federation was to
continue in session for several more
days, whereupon they had adjourned
when he mailed the communication.
Nevertheless he thought they should
have received the missive by this
time. At any rate It has not been
returned to him by the postal author
ities as undelivered.
"I don’t care to get into any con
troversy with the labor people,” de
clared Mr, Colby. "The letter was
simply my advice to the Federation,
as to their representative at Trenton.
I have worked with the labor people
and want to work with them and help
them on things that are reasonable.
The only trouble is that If they do
not get everything that they want
they take It too much to heart.”
The delegates had expected that
Mr. Hilfers would reply to Senator
Colgate In heated term# at last night's
meeting,, but he all but passed the
matter up.
“I suppose you all read the letter
in the papers written by Senator
Austen Colgate, referring to my work
at Trenton," said Mr. Hilfers, in
touching on the subject. "I simply
want to say that the letter was ad
dressed to the State Federalon of
Labor. It would not behoove me to
make a reply to Senator Colgate at
this time, as the federation will meet
next month and the matter will then
be taken up. 1 will say that I car
ried out the orders of the State Fed
eration of Labor, which I represented.
Mr. Colgate, in his letter objects to
my work, but the records of the
Senate can be gone over and you <San
see what Senator Colgate has done
and what I have accomplished. The
records will apeak for themselvea.
“I want to say that as the labof
representative. President Arthur
Quinn and myeelf only performed our
duty. Our work was approved in its
entirety by the State federation, con
sisting of SM delegates. We opposed
the State constabulary bill and sent
a letter to the senator giving our
reasons for doing so, as we thought
that If such a bill were passed it
would be detrimental to organized
labor.”
Mr. Hilfers was vigorously applaud
ed at the conclusion of his address
and Delegate A. J. Cozzolino was on
his feet with a motion to indorse the
action of the legislative committee.
Indorse Mr. Hilfers Again.
Mr. Hilfers told President Drew
that such action had been taken long
ago.
"I would prefer that nothing more
be said about the letter at this time,”
he said. "This council already has
Indorsed our work done at Trenton
for the Federation. T am also the
legislative representative of the coun
cil.”
This explanation did not satisfy
CozzoUno. who then moved that the
council reiterate Its indorsement, of
the legislative representative of the
council, and the motion was carried.
Charles Wright, of the International
Association of Machinists, Local No.
340, declared that men were going
around with hand organs displaying
cards which state that they are mem
bers of his union, when he said they
were not.
"These men are soliciting funds for
the strikers at the Sloan & Chase
plant and I just wan to put you men
right. These people are not mem
ber* of our union. Thsre were some
men belonging to ue working in the
plant when the men went out on
strike, but they were very few.”
Mr. Wright declared that the ma
chinists wsre In ths midst of a suc
cessful season snd would start to
fight for Increased wages and an
eight-hour day.

Jacob C. Taylor, delegate to the
Central Federated Union, reported
that that body had been notified by
President Samuel Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, that
various unions In the Hebrew Trades
Council would have to pley fair or
“get out.”
The head of the federation referred
to the clothing workers' situation in
New York city.
Sigmund Moss, delegate from Local
146, of the Structural Bridge and Iron
workers. complained that some inside
ironworkers were "scabbing” on cer
tain Jobs, and asked that the arbitra
tion committee look into the matter.
George Leray, who was defeated for
the presidency of the State Federa
tion of Labor at the elections held In
Jersey City Thursday, attended the
meeting. Mr. Leary takes his defeat
at the hands Of Arthur A. Quinn
good-naturedly, but expressed disap
pointment that the men he had count
ed on to cast their votes for him had
turned to Quinn.
Mr. Leary aaid that he had only be
come a candidate for the position be
cause he had been requested to do so,
and that h* had discovered that peo

Hugh V. Reilly, secretary of the

sociation of Machinists, stated today
that the organizing oampalgn which
the International body has been car
rying on in this city was meeting
with splendid results and that hun
dreds of new members had been se
cured since the propaganda of the
machinists for an eight-hour day was
issued
"Many applications are being re
ceived through the mall," said Reilly,
"from machinists who have not at
tended any of our meetings. In some
shops the men have been threatened
with dismissal If they are seen at a
union meeting, and we know that
there has been representatives of the
manufacturers spying on us at every
meeting that has been held.
"Many of the manufacturers who
think that they have subdued their
workmen by this threat and have
succeeded in keeping them from Join
ing the asaoeiation have a rude awak
ening coming to them when the asso
ciation gets ready to make Its de
mands.
"We are going to try and secure
the eight-hour day without calling
a strike, but if we cannot do so by
conferences with the manufacturers
not going to make our demands, how
ever, until we are read yto back them
up with an organization that will in
clude the machinists in every shop In

“Since its formation in 1912. the
membership of the Progressive party
in New Jersey have steadily exerted
themselves to secure p’roper legisla

form pledges, and in so doing have
maintained an ’ attitude of non

through their activities, brought
about the passage of the bill for the
relief of the Morris Plains asylum,
and the ultimate reduction of the
enormous taxes arising from the
maintenance of that institution. They
have steadily advocated local option
