Employes of llie Atlantic City Itail
vond Company were collet! as wit
nesses today at the resumption of the
.joint suit brought by administrators
for Dr. Matthew Borden mid Mr. and
Mrs. James H. Woods, of N'ew York,
who were killed in mi automobile ac
cident at a grade crossing In Palermo,
near Ocean City, on September i'. I OH
Mrs. Mildred M. Borden, widow of
Dr. Borden, Is seeking to recover
'75,000 damages, while $15,000 is asked
for the death of both Mr and Mrs.
Woods.
Positive assertions that the auto
matic bell at the grade crossing yv.is
in good working order on the night
if the accident formed part of the
employes’ testimony. Members of the
rain crew were also certain that the
engineer had blown the whistle of the
locomotive as It approached tlio cross
ing.
This was in contradiction of the
testimony of Thomas K Ityan, the
only one of the five automohillsts that
escaped alive. Mr. Hyan said on the
stand yesterday that no bell was
rung, no whistle was blown, nor
warning of any kind given.
Mr. Ryan's testimony was further
“ontradlrtcd by I>r. Isaac N. Orls
om, former county physician of < ’ape
Ylay county. Dr. Griscom was on the
•rene shortly after the accident oc
curred, He testified that Mr. Hyan
told him the nutomobilo was traveling
“at a terrific rate of speed, probahlv
forty miles an hour.” This statement
the physician said, was made by Mr.
Ryan the day after the accident In a
lawyer’s hflleo In Ocean City.
Mr. Ryan was recoiled to the stand,
■and flntly denied that lie had ever
made such a statement to Dr. Griscom
or anyone else. On direct examina
tion he assorted that die ear was
moving at n slow rate of speed
Dr. Grlseom also told of a test h«
made shortly after the accident. He
instructed tile train crew to hack the
train over the crossing, the purpose
being to llnd, out whether the auto
matic bell was in working order The
test was made twice, he said, and
both times thfl hell rang very clearly.
Train It mil n«r a Witness.
Under cross-examination by Robert1
il. McCarter, counsel for the plaintiffs,
Dr Griscom admitted lie accepted a
position with the railroad company
shortly aftor the accident and that he|
is at present in its employ as a phy
sician. >
Wulter M. SHnrp, engineer of the
train, was positive that he blew the
ooomotive whistle ns ho approached
;ho Ill-fated crossing. Ho testified
that he did not see the automobile
until It was very'clone to tho tracks.
"I was powerless to do anything j
*hen,” he said. "The auto crashed
into the side of the locomotive and T
brought the train to a halt as soon as
1 could.”
Caspar Hagelganz, the head brake-,
man: Robert H 'Grill, the fireman,
end Blither C. Snyder, the conductor.
. orrohornted the eiytlneer’.s testimony.
On cross-examination Mr. McCarter
elicited that the members or the erew
vere comparatively Inexperienced,
none of them having worked more

branch of the railroad prior to tliej
accident.

IS CELEBRATED
3 000 Throng Church and
Grounds of Greek Rite Cath
olic Church Here.
I The Huthenians of Newark ami
nearby celebrated the feast of Christ- i
mas today, their reckoning of time
being by the Julian calendar which
is thirteen days behind the Gregorian.
More than 3,000 attempted to attend
(lie mass in Ht. John's Huthcnlan
Catholic Church in Court street, near
Belmont avenue. The edifice, which
will seat only 1,000, was jammed and
the crowd overflowed Into the school
hall and the basement and onto the
sidewalk.
Scores knelt in the street, following
!as well as they could the service be
ing celebrated beyond their range of
Vision.
The mass, which was celebrated by
Hev. Peter Poniatidln, rector of the
church, lasted from 10 o'clock until
1:30, and at its close the worshippers
passed in procession In front of the
altar where the "antidorln" was dis
tributed.
This Is a sacramental observed by
the Homan Catholic Church in some
European countries, as well as by
churches of the Greek rite, in which
leavened broad not consecrated is dis
tributed to those who have not par
taken of holy communion.
The feast of Christmas also was
observed today by local members of I
the orthodox Greek Catholic Church,
which is not affiliated with the Homan I
Catholic Church. Tills celebration I
was held in St. Paul's Episcopal |
Church, us they have no church of |
their own. Greek orthodox Catholics ,
from Orange and other towns also !
took part.
In this month’s issue of The New
ark Churchman, official publication of,
tho Newark diocese of the Episcopal
church, an editorial calls attention to
the use of many Episcopal churches
by Christian people without their own
churches, as at Gartleld, where Greek
Catholics worship in the Episcopal
chapel, their own church having been
destroyed by lire.
"They have been told to look to
us where they cun not have their
own clergy and churches," says The
Newark Churchman, "because it is
believed that we will try to minister I
to them without disturbing their 1
Church relation.”
STATE QUARTERS

Immediate Relief.
Plans to co-operate with the State
Commission on Mental Defectives in [

Judge Osborne outlined conditions
at Vineland, stating that the State
Home for the Feeble-minded is
crowded to capacity with 488 women •
and a private Institution nearby
Where 850 boys and girls are being •
bourded .at tho expense of the State, j
Outside of this no provision is made i
for the care of tlie feeble-minded, of,
whom there are more than 5.000

land In Sussex county where a branch

Hallock Talks to Big Men
of the Automobile Trade
James C. Hallock, deputy engineer
of the Board of Works who was in
charge of the development of the
meadows and the creation of Port
Newark Terminal, addressed the
members of the Automobile Chamber
of Commerce this afternoon in the
music room of the Hotel BiHmore.
The talk was illustrated with moving
pictures and stereopticon slides, which
were received and witnessed with
great Interest.
W. J. Morgan, the local Ford repre
sentative, was Instrumental in hav

of large automobile manufacturing
concerns attend. Mr. Hallock made

PAGEANT SETTING AS PROPOSED FOR WEEQUAHIC PARK
The accompanying sketch was drawn by Thomas Wood Stc\ens. pageant master for the city celebration nevt summer. The sketch shows a location at \\ cc
ntialiic Park which'is a natural amphitheater. In the foreground will he enacted a reproduction of the scenes when the founders of Newark arrhed In the Pas
saic r’ver. Mr. Steven* lias made a close study ot the historical associations coil neeted with the arrival here of the ( on nectlrut pilgrims 250 years ago. _
IN PAGEANT ROLE
, (Continued from First rage.)
Everything will be on a miniature
scale, hut being in proportion will
not seem so to the audience.
Mr. Stevens believed the dialogue
of the pageant itself will be heard by
most of the audience. He instructed
the cast committee the principals
must have powerful voices. The
words will be chosen as much as is
possible in view of the necessity of
keeping them in character, with a
view to their adaptibllity to easy
understanding at a distance.
The first speaking voice will b» i
heard when the ship of the settlers i
approaches the center of the stage, in ;
the first movement. H will be that of
Robert Treat. The settlers will be on j
the bow of the ship making the
covenant between the men from the
New England towns to found the city
and live there.
Then Is strongly brought out that
Newark started right. The settlers
learned that (lie land, which they
thought Governor Carteret had paid
for, had not been bought of tlio In
dians. They refused to settle hero
until the land was paid for, and would
not borrow from Carteret to make the
payment It developed, after bargain
ing with the Indians, that they had
sufficient goods in their ship to make
the purchase. The respect for Robert
Treat is shown by the insistence when
homo sites were drawn for that he
should have eight units, whereas the
others had only six apiece.
In the main llie first movement is
sternly Puritanic in characteristics
and marked by the absence of re
vealed emotion, in one Instance tills
is departed from, in the scene alien
the city’s name is chosen. Fondness
for old ties is evidenced.
The independence of the settlers
and the fact that they cared little
whose llag flaw over them so long .is
they were not Interfered with in their
government of themselves, shows out
In their easy transfer of allegiance
from England to Holland and back
again, once Holland had assumed them
their religion and home government
would not be Interfered with The
strong religious characteristic is em
phaslzed often, and particularly in
the closing scene—a congregation en
gaged in devotion inside the tiny first
Newark church.
The llrlnk at the Spring.
A suggestion by Frank J. Urquhart
which will be Incorporated In the un
focused action was that some of the
settlers shortly after landing shall
drink from a spring. This will go
well with the intention to erect a
monument on the site of the first
spring. Mr. Urquhart believed. The
first Princeton commencement will
be another incident of the unfocused
action. Mr. Urquhart also mentioned
that at the time of the fiftieth anni
versary of the independence of tile
United States. Seth Hoyden was
working on his invention of the
malleable iron process and announced
It shortly afterward. He suggested
the Incorporation of Seth Boydon in
tlie pageant. This will likely be in
cluded in the proper movement.
How the pageant will condense im
portant happenings is shown by the
fact that the first town meeting,
which will include happenings of the
second town meeting as well, will
occupy only six minutes.
Yesterday's meeting was attended
hv Rev. Joseph F. Folsom. Major
William H. Camfield, Mr. Urquhart,
Bishop E. S. Lines. The meeting ot
the cast committco was attended by a
score of members and was presided
over by Chairman Henry A. Guen
ther. it is a sub-committee of the
pageantry committee, which meets
tonight.
At the meeting of the east commit
tee much discussion centered on the
possibility of having direct descend
ants of the original settlers, or of
other outstanding figures in the
pageant, play their ancestors’ roles.
A genealogy committee was appointed
to report back the names of existing
descendants of these principals. It
will he assisted by the Alliance Fran
calse. It consists of:
Miss Kate I,. Roberts, chairman;
Major Camfield. Robert O'Gorman,
Rev. Mr. Fo'soni. Mrs. Horace Os
borne and Miss H. L Baker. Miss
Minnie A. Springsteed was elected
permanent secretary of the cast com
mittee.

information on its cast the better it
would be. the actual assembling of
the cast should not be made too early.
Mr. Stevens warned. Rehearsals of
the principals will not begin until
six weeks before the pageant, and
of the remainder of the cast, except
ing the dancing groups and choruses,
until four weeks before the pageant.
No one has to learn very much, Mr.
Stevens explained, and It is best not
to allow too long a time for the
studying of tho parts, lest they be
shelved and forgotten.
The services of at least 200 or 300
National Guardsmen, who would be
Ideally fitted to represent the t’nntJ
nental Army, and other military
groups, as they have tho proper
training, were offered by Mnior Gam
Held. Rev. Mr. Folsom offered the
services of as many Roy Scouts as
are needed A number will likely
appear in the prologue, where small
sire is a requisite.
Groups of foreign residents of the
city will figure prominently in the
last movement, appearing in groups
symbolical of their native lands. The
committee adjourned to meet on Feb
ruary 3 The genealogy committee
will ‘ hold a meeting in the mean
time.
AEROPLANE, GIFT OF UPPERCU, i
FOR STATE NAVAL RESERVES
A hydro-aeroplane, valued at $8,000,
has been given to the First Battalion
Naval Reserve of New Jersey by
Inglis M. Uppercu, ot' this city, presi
dent of the Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany, according to an announcement
made today by Captain E. MecHire
Peters, of the battalion, from his
headquarters on the 1'. S. S. Adams,

Uppercu. Mr. Uppercu is said to be
interested in a firm which manu
factures war aeroplanes in the Avon
dale section of Nut Icy and which has
shipped machines to England and
Fra nco. *
Appropriate exercises will mark the j
christening of the machine when it
arrives at Hoboken, which will he, j
it. is expected, in the course of the!
next few months. The officers of the
battalion regard the new craft as the
nucleus of a large and well equipped
aeronautic organization which will
exist in New Jersey within a few
years.
The machine is said to he of the
bi-plane type and equipped with at)
the latest safety appliances, rt will
have double pontoons that can be re- j
moved when it is desired to convert
the machine from water to land
work. It can fly In any position and |
will have double operating control, i
allowing instructor and pupil to sit
side by side when making instruction
flights.
The plane will be driven by Iftn- I
horsepower engines of the type used ■
by Arthur Smith when he pintle sor |
sensational flights on the Pacific j
coast last year, among other things i
writing his name in the air by means j
of a smoke fog.
Ensign J. Homer Stover, who has
charge Of the aeronautic divisions of
the Now Jersey Naval Reserve, said
it was not the intention of the re
serve to do any sensational flying,
but to stick to the rule of "Safety J
First" and perform only such flights
as might be necessary in actual war
fare
THIEF ROAMS ABOUT NURSES'
HOME WITHOUT MOLESTATION!
I
The meanest thief heard of in this
city in Home time entered the nurses’
home connected with the German
Hospital yesterday afternoon, by tell
ing a maid in the home that ho was
from the electric light company. He
stole $15 and two eheap stick plus.
Mis.s Wilholmina Kobboloer. superin
tendent of the hosnltnl, hud left tlie
home shortly before •'! o’clock. The
maid, Miss Mary Innis. saw a man in
the yard but paid no attention to him.
She left the home for a few minutes
and returning went, to the second
floor. She saw a youncr man in,a
room with an electric light bulb in
each hand
Miss Innis asked the stranger what
he was doing and he informed her
that ho was from the electric light
company and had permission to en
ter tlie building to see whether the
lights were working properly. Think
ing everything was all right Miss
Innis went about her duties.
—
I
Severn! nurses who are nn night j
duty and were sleeping in their rooms
were awakened by the entrance of '
the stranger to their rooms, but on |
informing them that he only wanted
to see If the lights were all right and
receiving answers that they were, he i
left the room.
The intruder then made his way to
the top floor where several rooms
used by nurses were temporarily va
cant. It was in these rooms that he
managed to gather in small amounts
tile $15, Miss Kohbeloer said today
that it was one of the meanest thefts
she had ever heard of as the young
women are devoting their lives t >
the nursing of sick people for a very
small salary and "eed every penny
that they get.
The thief Is described as being a
young man of about twenty-live, well
dressed, wearing yellow shoes with
rubber heels, and is about live feet
eight inches In height. When Miss
ImiU first saw him ho was hatlcss.
PREFERS BEGGING TO LOSING j
HEAD IN A POWDER MILL
The terrors or a prison cell and a
three months’ sojourn ns the guest
of the • county has no terrors for
George Brooks, thirty-seven years
old. a native of Pittsburgh, who, as
he explains, strongly objects to being
blown up in a powder mil', so de
cided to take up the ancient and hon
orable profession of mendicancy.
Journeying to this city and having
never heard of Policeman Frederick
Hath, "the beggar snatcher," he
started to ply his trade in Prince
street. It happened to ho his misfor
tune that Rath was iri the neighbor
hood, having arrested an old ac
quaintance of the police fifteen min
utes before Brooks appeared on the
scene.
Rath’s attention was attracted to
the blue shirt that Brooks was wear
ing and immediately lie recognized
him ns one of the profession, for those
emnloved in following this line of
I
]
business invariably wear the blue*
shirt. After watching him enter a
few stores soliciting alms Hath placed
Brooks tinder arrest. When •asked by
the detective why he was begging.
Brooks replied that he “would rather
heg than have his head blown off in
a powder mill.” Judge Wolf ques
tioned him today and his remark that !
he was on his way for a job in the
Haskell powder mills caused Rath to I
stare at him in surprise.
informing the prisoner that lie was
tired of having all the beggars in
Pittsburgh visit this city, Judge Wolf
imposed the three months sentence, j
Out of the last six men arrested by •
Rath for begging, five of them have j
given addresses in Pittsburgh.
The other offender arrested bv Rath i
turned up in the person of Frank
Harvey, forty years old. who spends
more time in jails than out of them. !
He was sentenced to serve a term < f j
one year.

Holding down the cost
The cost of eyeglasses is no
indication of their value.
Eyeglasses adapted to your
particular needs will make an
inexpensive eyeglass valuable.
Lack of adaptability will make
a costlv eyeglass valueless.
Unless you purchase glasses
PLUS real service, you do not
obtain your money’s worth—no
matter what they cost.
For years we have been put
ting dependable quality into
Harris service and Harris exe
glasses—and holding down the
cost. That policy is largely re
sponsible for our remarkable
growth.
The comfort, security and ef
ficiency of our service and
Glasses are the result of gen
uine skill and experience.
We enjoy the complete con
fidence of more than 250,000
satisfied patrons.
