GERMS OF GRIP KILLED!
Experiments Showing That These
Deadly Microbes Can BE
Extermiunted,

Willard H.. Morse, M. D., u. >. s., OF
Westfeld, N. j., a ~well-known and prom
inent consulting chemist and therapeutist,
has recently issued an important article
upon the treatment of grip. He took some
of the germs or microbes of grip, put
them upon a glass slide under the micro
scope, and killed them absolutely by a
drop of whiskey. Such a demonstration
of cure would be sufficient for an ordl-
nary observer. but it was not enough for
DR.. Morse. He says we want also three
things: First, the preventive of disease,
second, the sustaining of the powers OF
the body, and third, rendering the system
unfertile to germs or bacilli. Therefore,
he says, to successfully kill the germs OF
grip and render the body able to resist
them, 'it all depends on the whiskey.'
This is putting the truth in a nutshell.
But the eminent doctor goes still farther
and says:-
Ordinary whiskey is either useless or
dangerous, or both in the treatment or
"Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is of the
largest value in the treatment"
Prof. Morse draws this conclusion whos-
" by experiment and facts proven under
the microscope. Like all scientists. he
comes to his conclusion only after testing
and proving and does not attempt to go
farther.

BOUGHT STORE WITH NOTES
Queer Transaction of John r.
AppIeby Aired in the Court
of Chancery.

The case of Hattie Irons against John
Randolph Appleby and the Leonia Com
pany, was heard by Vice Chancellor
Stevens in the Court of Chancery this
morning. Mrs. Irons owned a general
country store at Beimar, which sold
to Appleby, receiving in payment his
notes, endorsed by Appleby and Wood
Company of Leonia. The notes were not
paid and Mrs. Irons obtained judgment
for 81, 00s.2 % against Appleby. When the
Sheriff undertook to satisfy the Judgment
he found that Appleby had transferred
all his property to his wife and that as
soon as he came into possession OF Mrs.
Irons store he transferred the property
and stock of the store to the Leonia
Company. Mrs. Irons then filed a bill in
Chancery to rave these transfers set
aside so that she can reach the property
and make good her judgment. Appleby is
now in the Monmouth County Jail await
ing trial on an Indictment charging him
with fraud in connection with the trans
fer.
Much of the time of the court this
morning was taken up in a technical mo-
ton to amend the prayer of the bill ana
when that was Strengthened out John X.
Irons. husband of the complainant, was
sworn. He testified to the sale of sne
store by his wife to Appleby and said thas
Appleby told him of transferring the
property to Leonia Company. Witness
expressed surprised to Appleby that the
notes were not paid and he said that he
would take care of them in a few days.
Mrs. Hattie Irons, the. complainant, wa
the next witness. She learned from her
husband that Appleby had transferred
the store and stock which she had sol9
him to the Leonia Company. she nad
a conversation on the subject with APP
pleby. He told her that he owned prop
erty, and that a man owed him $1,000.
Under those circumstances she thought
the notes were good. Mr.. John Brown,
counsel for Mrs. Irons, showed her a
number of deeds and two certificates of
stock for two and three shares, respec-,
lively in the J.. Randolph Appleby Com
pany and one certificate for ten shares
in the Appleby & Wood Company. These,
witness said, were given her as collateral
for the notes and all subsequently proved
worthless. The case was on at recess.

HELD FOR MANSLAUGHTER
Jansen Supposed to Have
Caused the Death of Gam
montown Character.

An examination was held before Police
Justice Potts in the office of Chief of Po-,
lice Murphy yesterday afternoon in the
case of Reinke Jansen, accused of having
caused the death of Frank Costello, a
d~issolute character well known in Gam
montown. Mrs. Maggie Budraweezh,
who claims to nave witnessed the assault
which is supposed to have caused Costel-
los death, testified as follows:-
about five minutes to eleven yes
terday morning at the corner of Warren
and Morris streets, in front Of Jansen's
store, 1 saw Reinke Jansen strike a man
in the face who was drunk. The runke
struck him a second time. The drunken
man fells and as he did SO his head struck
the wheel of a large truck standing at
the curb. Jansen then took hold of the
man and dragged him to the fence next
to his (Jansen's) store. Jansen then went
into his butcher shop, and / continued On
my way to a store on Morris street. near
Warren. When ] returned from the
store about fifteen minutes later the man
Jansen had struck was lying near the
fence
Mrs. Budraweezh was then asked by
y QdSC WhSlC oiiO v ohe 6"FS
her address as No. 107 Warren street.
Jansen after being duly sworn made a
statement. He said
II keep a butcher shop at the corner
of Warren and Morris streets. At about
IL O'Clock this morning a unk man
fell on the sidewalk in front of my store.
I asked my brother Harry to go out and
pick him UP. He did SO, and put the man
near a telegraph pole and left him stand
ing. The man was drunk and staggered
over towards my window and | went out
to him and told him to go away. l took
him by the shoulder. placing one hand
IN front of him and the other in the
back of him and led hin away a distance
Of ten feet. I then went into my store
again, but the man followed me to my
door. / went out and once more pro-
ceeded to take him away. As we reached
the curb he fell and struck his head on
the wheel of a wagon which was stand
ing there"
When asked if he knew the man. jan
sen replied that he had known Costello
under the name of tsGalop" Clarke for
about ten years and that he was always
drunk when Jansen saw him.
Police Justice Potts sent Jansen to the
County jail to await Indictment by the
Grand jury on a charge OF mar slaughter.

dence to Prove Sheridan
Sold Liquor Without a
License.

The case of John Sheridan, of No. 321
First street, who keeps a grocery store,
was dismissed by Justice Potts this morn
ing. Sheridan was arrested at the in
stance of Edward Kirk, Of No. 300 First
street. Kirk was asked If he had made
complaint against Sheridan for selling
LIQUOR without a license.
mot exactly, sir" said Kirk, Il told
Chief Murphy l thought
Never mind what you told Chief Muir
ply, said Justice Potts, '.you signed this
complaint, didn't you? You swore that
Sheridan was selling LIQUOR without a
license?"
Il didn't swear that Mr.. Finck and Chief
Murphy looked at their books and"
Its evident that you signed the COM
plant. Go on with your evidence"
I'VE admit" said counsel for Mr.. Sheri-
dan, that Sheridan has no license"
Kirk testified that he made complaint
against Sheridan because Sheridan per-
sisted in selling liquor to Mrs. Kirk, who
used it to excess.
Il asked him not to sell liquor to my
wife, said Kir, 'but he kept on doing
so. The day l had Mrs. Kirk in court he
sold her some whiskey.'
did you see him selliit to herr"
mo, sir"
Then how DO you know he did itg.
MY son followed her.
Never mind what your son did. he can
testify to that himself. How do you
know that Sheridan has sold liquor?''
HE sold me a drink three weeks ago?"
why didn't you make complaint then? '
Kinks son William said on Saturday
last he followed his mother to Sheridan,s
place and although the woman tried to
dodge him and conceal the fact he saw
her purchase a bottle Of whiskey from
Sheridanfs niece, who was tending the
store and give her money In payment
for it.
How do you know it was whiskey?o
asked Potts.
She took it right home and gave any
brother sone.n answered the boy. "She
set the bottle on the table n I smelled
it,
"Ar you used to the smell Of whiskey?''
Eyes, sir, 7 have smelled it often"
There is no evidence that Sheridan sold
any liquor without a license declared
Police Justice Potts. He discharged the
prisoner. When questioned concerning
his decision Potts declared that the COM
p~fainant was q crank.
