Tho Defender VIII Net Leave Her Moorings
This Year.

NEW ROCHELLE. July 1.-THE fact that G.
Oliver Iselin made known his intention to par
ticipate In the coming annual cruise Of the New
York Yacht Club. together with signs OF activ-
iy about the Defender, which is moored In Sep-
tune Bay. between Glen Island and New Ro-
chellc, has caused considerable discussion in
yachting circles for several days. Reports were
circulated that the champion yacht was going
into commission. and the pleasant hopes OF ad-
mirers that tho Defender would enter into races
with the Colonia and Emerald were almost
realized. 1t was learned to-day that tho big
sloop was receiving a fresh coat OF paint, but
that no other work had been done on her this
season.
A representative of THE SUN saw Mr.. Iselin
1T his home at All View. m Point, to-
day. lie said the Defender would not leaye her
present moorings this year: He had considered
whether he would At up tho cup champion for
his proposed cruise, but had decided that she
was not well adapted for that purpose. He
further said that Gen. Paine's old cup do
fender Mayfower and Willouchby Weston's
schooner Intrepid had been offered to him. and
he had decided to charter tho latter. The In
trepid will be fitted up Immediately. and she
will DO sent to New Rochelle next week. The
| schooner Is 100 feet over. all, l02 feet on the
| water limo. and was built by Lloyd Phoenix.
She will he moored directly in front OF Mr.. lse-
Inns home.

Ing. The Buffalo physician has conducted about
0OO p05t-m0rtem examinations, but has never
seen a case of prussic acid poisoning. His
knowledge was entirely derived from the books.
This has been tho case with most OF tho experts
who have boon sworn so far by either side, cases
of poisoning by this acid being 80 rare. Mr..
Mackey asked DIR. Heath q long hypothetical
question. and at it's conclusion asked whether
he would, In view Of all tho symptoms men
toned. say that death resulted from prussic
acid poisoning.
81 do not think replied DR.. Heath. that the
symptoms you have described could be %attribut-

that q person suffering under tho effects Of
prussic acid could have screamed while being

On the cross-examination the witness said:

from prussic acid poisoning, nor will ] swear
that she did" DIR. Heath further stated that he
commonly used prussic acid for certain diseases.
This fortifies Benham's claim that this was what
he wanted Of the. prussic acid which he pur-
chased at Jewen's drug store.

BICYCLE TAX UPHELD.
wis Hirtzel. Chicago's Assistant Cooperation
Counsel. Sustains u.

CHICAGO, July Incorporation Counsel
Thornton, through his assistant, Miss Cora B.
Hirtzel, hasc.pronounced the bicycle tax ordi-
nance valid ,:and the Mayor:will sign it. In her
opinion. submitted to the Mayor to-day, Miss
Hirtzel says in part:
Whether the license upon vehicles not used
for hire is valid is q matter Of some doubt; yet
in the exercise of the police power OF the munich
pality over its streets the imposition Of a9icense
uponproperty used upon the streets. designed to
create q fund for repairing and keeping In good
condition such streets, | think may be sus-
tanned. The license fec imposed is in no sense
a tax, and is not, therefore, within the opera
ton Of the provision Of the Constitution which
provides that all needful revenue shall be
raised by levying a tax by valuation. SO that
every person or corporation shall pay q tax in
proportion to his, her, or its property, and hence
all questions as to the value q property TO be
taxed are OF no consequence In THU case.
at is simply what 1t purports 70 be. o license
fee. and is Imposed under the police power and
not under the taxing power. Nor can the OBJ
lection be made that tho use OF said vehicles Is
a common right, and therefore not subject to
license, upon the ground that where the power
to prohibit does not exist power to license can
not be exercised. In this State q license may
be imposed whore the power to suppress does
not exist
