AT THE RACES.
Fast Time Made at Yesterdays
Race Meeting.

haploldnl Eark 10 witness the big
race meetipg held under the aus
pieces of the Jockey Club.
The management OF the club had
done everything 10 ito power to
make the event success and the
public at large was pleased although
there we're errors committed which
made sportsmen use "cuss. words"
or weep tears.
The Judges were decidedly not
onto themselves and didu't exercse
the authority given to them over
owners and riders. The starting
was Tar below the standard we have
been used to while Q. b. Wilson was
the star starter on the track. The
accommodations for the prees rep
resentatives were miserable and the
Jockey Club stand was overcrowded
Bat ia spite of all the meeting
went off most pleasantly and order,
ly and the event was declared a big
success by all except perhaps who
are singing today: "Had We only
backed the winner, what different
people we would be-"

NO CARS FOR A MONTH
Spencer Weart Says the
Situation in the Plank
Road Case Is Un-
changed.

There is no change in the situation
caused by the closing of the Newark
Flank Road, and Mr.. Spencer Weart.
counsel for the Plank Road Company. is
the authority for that statement.
1t will be perhaps month before anv-
thing will be accomplished SO that traffic
may be resumed
Mr.. Weart said, also, that the company
had some time ago ordered. two new
draws over so feet in length whereas
the War Department had laid down the
fiat that the minimum must be S0-foot
draws. The present bridges, Mr.. Weart
said, Were simply rotten and unsafe as
unsafe could be. Il was because of that
the company had bought new draws.
! Some rumor gained credence in this
county and Essex that the company
would confer with the Freeholders of
Essex County, so as to reach some CON
clusion, or modus vivendi as the diplo-
mats say, and have the bridges opened.
but on that point President E. F. C.
Young emphatically declared that if there
was any conference at all it would be
with the Boards of Freeholders of the
two counties and not with the company.
I'VE are outsiders, pure and simple"
said Mr.. Young, adding that he had not
yet received any request to join in any
conference whatever.

COTTON TO Be BISHOP
Private Letters From Rome
Names Him for New
ark Diocese.

Information in a private letter from
Rome received in New York is that Rev.
Charles H. Cotton, of that city, has been
selected as the successor to the late
Bishop W. M Wigger, of the diocese of
Newark. Although this is the first pre-
sentation of Father Colton's name in
connection with the vacant New Jersey
bishoPric, the information is thought to
be authentic.
1t has been generally expected Bishop
Farley, of New York, would be the cler-
gyman Rome would select for the place.
Bishop Farley's name stood second on the
list sent to Rome by the clergy of the
diocese of Newark, the other names be-
ing those of Vicar General J. j. OCon-
nor, of Newark, and Rev. DR. Charles T.
Kelly, rector of the Church of Our Lady
of Grace, Hoboken.
Thus far. the list of nominees made
out by the Bishops of the province Of
New York and submitted to the author
tiles in Rome, has been closely guarded
and none, outside Of the hierarchy, has
been admitted to the secret. But it was
taeitly agreed that the name of Bishop
Farley appeared also on the Bishops list
and, in that event, his selection for the
vacant office by the Pope seemed 20
most of the clergy inevitable.
Rev. Father Charles H. Cotton is rec
tor of st. Stephens Church, in East
Twenty-eighth street, Manhattan. He was
a curate under the late DIR. Edward Afo-
Glynn when the latter was rector Of St
Stephens, and was appoiated to the va-
cant rectorship which followed DR.. Mc-
Glynn's retirement some years ago. He
is a quiet, unobtrusive man, of middiS
age, vino has never made himself con-
spicuous in a public way, having devoted
himself wholly to the duties of his office.
Within short time the Rev. Father
Cotton will celebrate the twenty-ffth ans
niversary of his ordination to the priest-
hood. 1t is said that the celebration ee
this silver jubilee will be taken advantage
of by Archbishop Cerrigan to inform
Father Cotton of his appointment az
Bishop of Newark. and that no formal
announcement v i'll be made before thak
time.

GET VACC|NATED.
Health Authorities Say
There's No Reason for
Scare, But Must
Take Precau-
tions.

Another case of smallpox was reported
to the city health authorities today, max
ing seven reported since Wednesday, This
time the report halls from one of the
healthiest locations of the city. The pa
tient is Mrs. Charles Warner, of No. 1876
Bay View avenue.
The ehealth officials are slightly uneasy
on account of the widely separated loca-
tions from which the cases are reported.
They would prefer to have all the cases
confined to one location in order to sue
cessfully cope with the threatened spread
of the disease. They are not puzzled,
have traced the cases to New York
sources.
According to the people who live in the
vicinity of No. 426 Second street, the two
cases reported from there are in the fam
lily of two women who recently moved
over from New York. One of these is the
mother of the babe showing symptoms,
who ran from her apartments with her
babe yesterday to elude the health doc
tors after locking a door that had to be
forced. The doctors called again and
tounu that the babe had been hidden be-
tween two mattresses at the risk of pc-
ing smothered. The child after being vac
cinated four times, was ordered taken to
the pect house.
Mrs. Warner, the patient reported this
morning, was ordered removed to the
smallpox hospital.
The authorities are exceedingly anxious
not to create scare, but are just as
anxious to impress upon people the inn
portance of vaccination at once. They
say there Is no danger of an epidemic
whatever, IL they will only do this.

TWO FOUND DEAD.
Rats Feed for a Month on
the Bodies CT Meade
and His Sister.
POLICE MAKE CHASTITY FIND
Neighbors Miss the Couple
and Ask That a Search
Be Made.

The police of the Communipaw avenue
police station made one of the most grue-
some finds in the history of the depart
ment yesterday afternoon in a two story
frame house at No 1872 Virginia avenue
The bodies OF Louis Meade and his sister
Susan, both past the age of seventy, were
discovered in the kitchen horribly de-
composed. Neither could be recognized
Rats scampered away in droves when the
police entered. Every part of the bodies
that the rats could get at was eaten
away. The bodies were in terrible condi-
ton. ~ .,4a;s = SAG
County Physician Converse viewed the
bodies at the morgue this afternoon He
declared that both had died from the eff
fects of coal gas. He said that the bod
les had been lying there for at least a
month.
Meade was known to be a close man
and both ne and his sister lived the lives
OF recluses. They were seldom seen.
About eight years ago the couple pur-
chased Jointly the house in which they
We're found dead. Neither went out much
and neighbors regarded them as eccen-
trio.
No one about that neighborhood remem-
bered seeing the old people for at least
month. No signs of life were noticed.
This led the neighbors to believe that
all was not right. The police were noti-
fed yesterday afternoon.
Chancernan Lockwood and Patrolman
Boltwood were sent to investigate. They
battered down the kitchen door after
knocking for some time. Both policemen
staggered back, horror stricken at the
frightfui sight that met their eyes. There
on chair, wrapped in old blankets,
was the body of Susan Meade All that
was discernible was the f1eshless skull
protruding through the blankets, and the
hands, picked clear of the flesh. On the
floor, lying on an old mattress, was
Meade's body. He had made his bed on
two chairs, but the mattress had fallen
off when he struggled against the deadly
coal gas This body was also in fright
full condition. The eye sockets and mouth
were filled with mould and not a bit of
flesh was left on the head or hands. Rats
had lived for weeks on the dead flesh.
The bodies were taken to the morgue
Many stories are told of the old couple.
They were said to be wealthy, but the
police have not been able to find anything
of value about the house as yet. A search
has been made, but more thorough one
will be conducted later.
1t is thought that the old woman was
insane, as she was often heard to scream
loudly at nights. No visitors ever called
on the old people. The police are trying
to locate relatives. All of the furniture
and other things about the house is of a
poor quality. No food was found in the
house either. This led the police to reason
out starvation as the cause of death. DR..
Converse says, however, that asphyxia-
ton by coal gas was the cause.

MADAM REES'S LECTURE.
Interesting Talk on Religious
Ideals of Poets at Resi-
dence of DIR. DeHart.

Madam Ruutz Rees, of New York. gave
the first of her course of lectures yester-
day afternoon at the residence of DIR. NJ.
f. De Hart, No. 90 Mercer street, taking
for her subject, Religious Ideals of An
cient and Modern Poets" She read ex-
tracts from several old Hindoo and He
brew lyrics to illustrate the difference in
their beliefs. the former. being never sure
and full of reflection, while the latter was
ever sure and assertive. She gave as one
example, 'The Song of Deborah which
she said was sung not only by the priests
but by the women.
All early religious thought, she said.
expressed itself through the lyric. which
she described as spontaneous utterance
naturally adapting itself to rhyme. The
Twenty-third Psalm was given as an ex-
ample. The purpose of these lyrics in
both Hindoo and Hebrew was to knit the
people together. The prophets were real
ly poets Madam Rees interrupted her lee
ture long enough to deplore the fact that
there was such ignorance among the
young people of today regarding the Bible
that foot notes had to be placed at the
bottom of the page whenever a Biblical
quotation was used. The genera ton of
her day and even the next generation
were better educated in this respect. 1t
was the greater pity, she said, because
in the sacred books were the only rec
ords of religious ideals of the age.
The whole object of the Hindoos, Mrs
Rees said, was not to be born again. Be
lieving in incarnation they strove to at
tain perfection so that they need not live
again.
These lectures are given through The
courtesy of DR.. M. F. De Hart. There
are four in the course, the next of which,
on the "Great Epics,'' will be given on
Thursday, April II.
Among those present yesterday were:-
DIR. NJ. F. De Hart, Mrs. Lewis Mrs.
Bailey, Miss Pope Miss Sawyer, Miss
Norris. Miss A B. Myers, Mrs. G. w.
-Clerinew, Mrs. Herbert Scott, Mrs.
James Edwards Mrs. George Vickers.
