Fourth Regiment
Games.
POLICE CALLED OUT.
Spectators Struck With Fly
ing Chairs and Many
Heads Punched.
POLICE CALLED OUT.

The reglmental games at the Fourth
Regiment Armory Saturday night. broke
up in a riot. Several chairs were flung
about the big drill shed and many blows
Were struck 1t was found necessary 60
turn out the lights to quell the distur-
bance. Several policemen from the mont
gomery street station house We're called
in, but no arrests were made when the
situation was explained
The row began while the tnree mile
race was on. The winner of this race
would be the champion Of the regiment,
and excitement ran high while the con-
testants were going nip and tuck around
the track j. E. Sarback OF Company FL,
and c. D. Turner Of Company d were
leading. Close behind were w, Brewer
and Andrew Burke of Company G. Near
the finish there was mix up between
Sarback and Turner and Turner fell He
was seen to get up and rush al Sarbaek.
Several blows were struck and Referee
Frank Byrnes disqualified the men.
A howl arose over the decision 1t
could not be determined who won the
race, and members of Companies H and
D rushed out on the floor to demand that
the referee give the race to the runners
of their respective companies. By this
time the crowd in the balcony had rushed
to the floor, and in few minutes four
hundred people were mixed up in the
fracas. A general fight followed, despite
the combined efforts of Colonel Smith and
the other officers to abate the disturb
ance. The men would not be quieted. The
members of Companies H and G clamored
for recognition, but nothing like order
could be brought about.
In the midst of the row some one in the
balcony threw chair among the people
on the floor, and it struck Private John
Bell on the head. cutting his left eye. An
effort was made to find the person who
threw the chair, but it was an unsuc-
cessful search. Then the lights were
turned out until order was restored. A
great many people had bloody noses and
black eyes after the mix-up.
Colonel Smith was mad clear through
and so were the other officers present.
In view of the fact that Governor Murphy
comp,imented the men Friday night for
their good work the Colonel feels the dis
grace brought on the regiment ksenly.
He will not discuss the matter, and the
officers and men have been warned To
keep silent. it is said. None of the officers
approached Saturday night or Sunday
would talk.
A committee will doubtless be appointed
to look further into the cause of the
trouble and bring the guilty ones to trial.
If Turner and Larbock were guilty Of
fouiing both may be court martialed and
expelled from the regiment. At any rate
an effort will de made hy the Ath. .etic
Committee to so regulate the games that
repetition of Saturday nights affair
will be impossible.

MOSQUITO EXPERT SAD
Defeat of Judge Hoffman's
Bill a Disappointment to
Prof. Smith.
Especial to '.The Jersey city News.'1

NEW BRUNSWICK. March "A, 1s02-
The most woefully disappointed man in
the whole State of New Jersey over the
failure of the Senate to appropriate the
$4,000 asked for is Professor Jehn B.
Smith. entomologist of the New Jersey
Agricultural College. attached to Rut-
gers. Professor Smith was the first per-
son TO suggest a State appropriation and
has urged it in season and out of season
for more than a year.
The professor probably knows more
about mosquitoes than any man in the
country and during the course of deliver

Society in Geological Hall, in New Bruns-
wick. last November, he Showed his inti-
mate acquaintance with the habits and
manners OF the tiny pests.
Professor Smith began by saying that
there was undoubtedly a relation between
mosquitoes and malaria.
Malaria he said. SIS caused by a
protozoan parasite, which destroys the
red blood corpuscles. 1t grows rapidly
and reproduces every second, third or
fourth day. and, as the young are all
liberated at one period and all try to en-
ter new blood corpuscles at the same
time, this period marks the chill. or
shakes
According to the kind of parasite, the
chill comes every second, third or fourth
day. If a man is subjected to a second
inoculation on his we'll day he is likely to
get another chill.
.srThe parasites that / speak of may be
transferred directly from one human be-
ing to another by the TRANSMISSION OF

spores work their way into the saiiyary
glands of the insect. and next time 1t
bites a human being these spores are IN
troduced into the healthy patient and
cause malaria.
There can be no transfer of malaria
without mosquitoes, but it is not so cer-
tain that malaria does not require for its
development some other factor than me-

DENOUNCE FRY.
Twelfth Ward Republicans
Condemn County Chair
man for Turning
Down McEWan.

The Twelfth Ward Republican Club
held rather warm meeting Saturday
night at Zabetti's Hall, during which
resolution was adopted denouneing Chair
man Fry, of the Republican County Conn
mittee, for cruising to heed the recon-
mendations of the Ward organization in
making up of the various subcommittee
of the County organization The resolu-
ton declares that the conduct of Chair
man Fry in the matter is without pre-
cedent; that it was tyrannical, oppres-
sive, impolite and injurious to the inter-
ests of the Republican party in the COM
munity. Along with the recommenda-
tion of congressman A4cEwan, who is
on top in the Twelfth Ward, to a position
on the Executive Committee, the Ward
organization had recommended five other
members for appointment on various sub
committees. McEwan was turned down
absolutely by Chairman Fry. who claimed
that yice-President Frederick J. Stuhr,
as an ex-officio member, represented the
ward This, it is claimed, was a mere
subterfuge on the part of the chairman,
and the grounds he took were without
precedent. Several members recommend
ed yere appointed to subcommittee, but
not to the committees specified. Mr..
George Hoehl, who was not recommended
to any Subcommittee, was appointed by
Chairman Fry to the Finance Commit
tee. He refused the appointment without
the recommendatfo of the Ward organ
ization. Other refusals are anticipated.
Frederick Stuhr offered the resolution

OPPOSE RUSSIAN AGGRESSION.
America, England, Japan, Acting I'm
Concert to Manchuria

| A dispatch from Pekin yesterday says,
| The British, American and Japanese min
| isters here have renewed their opposition TO
! the Manchurian arrangements between
China and Russia 1t is probable that this
| action will result in the further postpone
| ment of the consummation of this treaty.
The powers opposing the Manchurian
| treaty are now beginning to recognize the
| force of the representatives of the Chinese
| plenipotent.aries. that China is making the
best terms possible for herself, and Incl
dentally for the equal rights of the other
! nations In China, and are shifting their
! protests to Russia as the responsible party.
| Paul Lessar, the Russian minister here, is
endeavoring to maintain the transparent
diplomatic fiction that the Manchurian
| treaty and the Russo-Chinese bank agree
| ment are not related. He has informed his
colleagues that the Russian government has
no official knowledge of the negotiations OF
the Russo-Chinese Bank. The Russian
| agents are playing their parts with the
greatest regard for appearances, while NJ.
Lessar Is arranging the treaty with China.
Tne manager of the bank, Nj. Pocatillo, one
| of the most able and trusted of the Russian
| agents in the east, is negotiating the bank
| agreement with Wang Wen Shao.
In the light of the statements of Chinese
| officials, which were repeated yesterday,
namely, that Russia insists upon the SIM
ultaneous signing of the Manchurian treaty
and the bank agreement, the representa-
| ttons of NJ. Lessar fail to carry weight.
| The native newspapers are filled with
stories that Russia is trying to gain her
ends by offers Of heavy bribes
Germany remains disinterested specta-
tor of the affair Chang Chi Tung, the
viceroy of Hankow. and Liu Kun VI, the
| viceroy of Nankin,e continue their efforts
against the treaty. They are cooperating
| with the japanese minister.
| The agreement provides that China shall
I build all railways and develop all mines in
Manchuria- If she is unable to command
| the capital, she shall apply to the bank. II
the bank is unable or unwilling to enter
| into arrangements, China may apply else
| where for capital
| The final clause stipulates that the agrees
ment shall in nowise impair the existing
rights of other nations, which clause is
palpably nullified by the preceding condi-
/ tions
