DROWNED MANS BODY FOUND
AT KEASBEY;; MAY BE CAPT.
HORNSBY'S MISSING SAILOR

The body of a drowned man was
found floating in the Raritan river,
near the dock of the Federal Clay
Manufacturing Company's plant, by
Anton Izso, of Keasbey early this
morning.
From an aluminium name plate and
a memorandum book found in the
pockets bearing the name of Jacob
Neuschafer and the address, 215 Ave-
nue. B, the body is believed almost
certainly to be that of Jake the
Sheeny," the sailor on one of Cap
tain Samuel Hornsby's schooners
over two weeks ago. He had curly
hair and smooth face and was five
feet, ten inches tall and weighed
about 100 pounds. He was, appar-
emily, about twenty-five years old.
Tattooed on the right arm is an
American flag and the initials 81. N"
Izso, who is employed as laborer
by the Federal Clay company, went
to the. shore early this morning to
pick up some driftwood. While gath
ering up the sticks he saw what ap-
peared to be a log floating on the
water. He finally secured it and dis
covered it to be the body of man.
After tying the body, which was in

SALOON MUST S. W. GILLIAN
STAY CLOSED. A LAUGHMAKER
Aumorist Delighted a Capacity
Audience at the High School
Last Night.
MINGLED PATHOS AND HUMoR.

Seldom has an entertainer pleased
an audience so thoroughly in this
city as did Strickland w. Gillian last
night at the high school, Mr.. Gill
Ian is humorist of high degree and
kept the audience, which crowded
the auditorium to IS. R. o." great
ly interested throughout from the
moment he appeared on the stage un-
til he concluded with his well-known
recitation of "Finnegan, an hour
and three-quarters later
Mr.. Gillian put himself thoroughly
at ease with his audience when he
first appeared with hair topsy turvy
and stood for some seconds without
speaking, until finally he began, La
dies and Gentlemen, and any others
who may be present"
Mr. Gillian kept his hearers in
continuous laughter except during the
touches of pathos which he cleverly
introduced. He recited several orig
inal selections of poetry. He told a
number of stories calculated to make
every hearer laugh and the dialects
he used were as humorous as his own
peculiar drawl Without any inter-
mission whatever he talked for over
100 minutes and never once lost his
hold on the audience.
This was the second of the high
class entertainments in the annual
teachers course which, this fall ex-
ceeds those of past seasons.
The third and last entertainment
will be the appearance Tuesday, No
vember 27, of the Cleveland Ladies'
orchestra, Alfred Metzdorf, director.
This is one of the finest musical or
ganizations of the west. In addition
to the orchestra, Frederick irving,
leading basso, late with Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink, will sing.

Action Suggested
In Deadlock
Now Taken.
TO BUY MORE OR LESS.

That the furniture in school No. 2
now being installed by ID. Wolff &
Company, is unsatisfactory was unan-
imously decided by the Board of Ed
ucation last night at the regular
monthly meeting.
Chairman j. l.. Crowell, of the
building committee, gave a short his
tory of the furniture matter and said
he had tried a number of times TO
get the members together and have
them examine the one room that is
fitted up at school No 2.
I'VE bought the furniture from ID.
Wolff & Company said Mr.. Grow
ell, land it was to be made by The
Reedsborongh Furniture Company.
The castings have come from Illinois,
and the wood from Kentucky, and,
if | remember rightly, the desks were
to have been light in color, apd these
desks are dark"
Commissioner Crowell said that he
had seen Mr.. Dey, of D. Wolff G Com
pany, and asked to see the sample
desk, and he declares that Mr.. Dey
said it had been returned to the com
pany.
THE furniture now in place." said
Mr.. Crowell "iS not what | call sat
isfactory; the wood doesn't fit the
castings, and they are poorly put to-
gether."
Mr.. Crowell, after few further
remarks, made a motion that all the
old furniture bids be thrown out, and
that new bids be advertised for, to be
received on November 26, at 5
o'clock, in the high school at an ad-
journed meeting.
Commissioner Sturn said he
thought the course proper, and if the
furniture bids were unsatisfactory
they should be readvertised for. The
vote on the matter was unanimous. 1t
was also decided to require the sue
cessful bidder to furnish bond for
the installation of the furniture by
January.
The bids will be for furniture for
the eight rooms in school No. 5, and
number of teachers desks and some
settees for the high school.
President Walker said that he had
viewed the furniture in school No. 2,
and that it is not in accordance with
the sample.
Only short time ago, he said, the
ID. Wolff Company was required to
take down some of the desks that had
been put in position, because they
were not satisfactory, and President
Walker says that even now they are
poor evidence of good desks.
The original bids were for furni-
ture for ten rooms, two in school No.
and the eight in the addition to
school No. 5 which is to be opened
about the first of the year When
the deadlock over these bids and
those for heating and sanitaries was
broken it was by means of a COM
promise whereby D. Wolff & Com
pany got the contract for two rooms
in No. 2 and N. S. Kellogg for the
heating and sanitaries.

:. Cincinnati, June 18.-Dr. B. Merrill
Ricketts,, whose paper on compression
Of the heart after it has ceased beating
to restore life, read at the meeting of
the American Medical association in
Boston on June g., created a sensation
consented to talk on the subject this
evening. He says a person who has
been dead twenty minutes was brought
back to life by manipulation of the
heart. ."
"FThe heart has actually been stimu-
lated to action one or two, days after
death, " said the doctor, "yet one or
two minutes after the cessation of the
heart is time enough to justify a
physician in opening the chest and
squeezing the heart, much as one
would a sponge. to renew it's action.
HIn illustration of this let me cite
a case of a child of Brighton, England,
only last year, who was pronounced
dead by the attending physicians, and
the coroner was sent for. The child
had been dead supposedly for five
hours, when the coroner arrived, yet
the child at that time raised its hands
and the heart beat and there was life
for several hours tafterward. Manipu-
lation of that heart, would in all prob
ability, have brought permanent life
to that child.D

PROBE At DULUTH
Dakotan Reads Letters in Senate
Branding Grain Laws
Unjust.
BY w, w. Jermane,

j. Washington, June Ex-senator Nc
Cumber Of North Dakota has received
a communication signed by the presi-
dent of the Superior Board Of Trade,
r. j. Roth, and its secretary, A. N.
Lent, regarding the Minnesota wheat
furnished by Mr.. Crumpton on that
subject. The letter was written on the
authority Of the board of directors, and
was read to the senate today and put
into the Congressional Record. The SEN
ator urged the investigation as in the
interest Of all parties concerned.
The writers Of the letter say they do
NOT vouch for the accuracy Of the 2e,-
100000 bushel statement Of Mr.. Crump-
ton, or for any other figures that have
been used during the controversy.
''Nor do we contend,' says the let
ter, ''that the purloining is to exceed
possibly 100000 bushels, but it is no
doubt Of sufficient quantity to Justify
an investigation by the interstate com
merce commission. We would strongly
urge such an investigation, and will
take pleasure in extending to you the
assistance of persons here who have
been familiar with grain operations
e. The friends of the present Mime.
sofa inspection lay great stress upon
some error claimed in arriving at the
figures of this large average, but this
is only one Of the vulnerable points.
They say nothing Of their attempts to
cover up this stealing by shipping out
wheat as screenings, but an investiga-
ton will bring out these facts, as we
can name men who know this to be
true, and who will give dates, weights,
numbers Of cars, persons to whom sold
and prices paid:
They say nothing about the pres
sure brought to bear on Mr.: Crumpton
to get hi I'M, to change his figures and
to ,retract sworn testimony given by
him in circuit court before Judge
Parish. Mr.. Crumpton is now a mem
