NEWARK MANSLAUGHTER CASE.
Trial Of The Officials Of The North
Jersey Railway Co. Progressss.
NEWARK. N. J.. September 2—-—ln
the trial of the officials of the North
Jersey Street Railway Company, ac-
cused of manslaughter in connection
with tho Clifton avenue grade crossing
accident, the first wiineas today was
Frederick Helmer. the repair man at
the Clifton avenue car sheds. whose
testimony was a technical description
of the cars and brakes.
Frederick Evans. former secretary
of Vice-President Hobart, and now see-
retary of the Public Service Corpora-
tion, was called upon to produce the
books containing the by-laws of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company.
From this the prosecutor read select-
ed sections on the duties of directors
and officials. showing how the various
duties are delegated from one to an-
other, but they all are responsible for
the carrying out of the rules of the
company.
BIG VOLUME OF IERIEIGHT.
Large increase Reported on Lines of
Consolidated Road.
One of the surprises of the summer
in railroad circlcs has been the big
volume of increased freight which has
come over the rails of the New York.
New Haven and Hartford line. in View
of the increase in freight rates which
was put into effect in July. it was
feared in some quarters that the In
crease would result in a slight dc-
crease in the volume of freight busi.
ness and consequently in receipts. but,
it is understood, on good authority.
that the opposite has proved the case.
it is expected that the quarterly re-
port of the road will show that the
biggest volume of freight business ever
recorded in summer time has gone over
the system since July 1, and that. the.
freight receipts are the largest in the
roads history.
According to a statement in the
early summer by Prcsldcnt Hail, it
was necessary for incrcascd receipts.
because of thc nddcd cxpcnsc of the
road through the larger wages paid to
avert a strike of trainmcn and con-
doctors in March.
THEATRE LICENSE lNCREASED.
Manager Hoyt Now Pays $100 In Stam-
ford instssd of $50.
Manager 1. M. Hoyt renewed his li-
cense for the Grand Opera-house in
Stamford, yesterday. morning and paid
the full fee of 8100. The old license
expired Monday. A year ago. the Com-
mon Council gave Manager Hoyt a re-
bate of $50. on the license. The mat-
ter caused considerable comment at
the time. At the mccting of the Com-
mon Council. last week. Dr, Rogers of-
fered a resolution providing that the
same arrangement as last year be
made respecting the license. Mayor
Leeds declared the resolution out of
order on the grounds that the ordl~
nances could not be changed by a re
solution of the Council.
The license for the town hall, Stam-
ford. fee for which is 825, was also re‘
newed today. This is the first time
that the town has ever paid a fee for
the hall.
