that new trial commissioner to succeed the

Mr.. McAvoy, however, practically denied that ne

A rumor had gone about that ex-Assembynan
Peter j. Everett was to succeed the late Third

Bolton Hall Asserts Health Department
employees Are inefficient and Criminal.

That the inspectors of the Department Of
Health who are assigned to the investigation
of tenement houses-any houses occupied by
more than thres families-are ludicrously in
efficient and given to Matchmaking. were the
assertions made before Club A of the Peoples
Institute, at no. 31S East 15th-st., last night
by Bolton Hall, son of the late Rev. DR.. John
Hall. Mr. Hall is lawyer. and says that he
has had much to do with tenement houses. He
said:
ANY one who knows anything about the steps
which the city authorities are taking to I'M
prove conditions in the slums knows that the
inspectors of the Health. Department are ludi-
crously inefficient. They go into the better
class of tenements and apartment houses and
order the cellars ~hitewashed or the airshafts
cleaned out. because they know that the agents
of such houses will give them something to keep
down their demands. They never go near the
poor class of tenements, because they know
that they'll get nothing.
DR.. John S. Billings. Of the Health Depart
rnent. said in regard to Mr.. Halls assertions:
They are absolutely and unqualifediy false

the progress Of the trial when not in court. For
half hour yesterday Justice Rogers let down
the barriers against jurymen going home in favor
of Bernard L. Michael. a clothing merchant. whose

said Michael must stay with the other jurors; He
was allowed to make arrangements by telephone

The last Juror Willis c. Roper bank clerk was
sworn in although he declared that he formed an
opinion from reading the newspapers.
Mrs. Charles W. Morse may be witness against
Mr. Hummel. 1t was the setting aside of the di-
vorce which she had obtained from Charles f.
Dodge that compelled her to have her marriage to
Mr. Morse annulIej, and the charge against Mr.
HumrneI is that he was in the conspiracy to have
the divorce set aside on periured testimony.
Mrs Morse went abroad nearly year ago, be-
fore the reinstatement of the Dodge divorce, and
the re-esta blishent of her second marriage by the
courts made her again the lawful wife of MI.

yards in four downs win be adopted by the

measures to weaken the defence. To impose
upon the attacking side the almost impossible
task of making ten yards fl three rushes with
no changes in the present rule would be to in

Orange, n. J.. Dec. Thames ]. Hogan, who
was captain of the 1904 football team of Yale
University. addressed the members of the Yals
Alumni Association Of Essex County at the
Orange Club tonight Mr. Hogan's address
bore on the recent agitation for the reform OF
football He did not agree with the critics who
declare football is a brutal game. He said it
was harmless alongside OF rowing. In the case
Of football Hogan said that the men sometimes
received injuries which would disable them for
a few days, while in rowing, which he regarded
as more hazardous, it often took more than two
months for a member of some boat crew to re-
cover from an injury. Hogan contended that
football had too much publicity and he PAID
his respects to the newspapers for their accounts
of the different games.
