DRY SUNDAY EXPECTED.
Jersey City Police TO Enforce the Law
-6tEictly-Tangie In HooOken.

rJersey City Police TO Enforce the Law
-stfictly-Tangie In Hoooken.
Chief Of Police Murphy Of Jersey City
,expects that the city will experience its
third dry Sunday to-day. He issued orders
yesterday ~instructins the precinct com.
manders to exercise the greatest care In en-
forcing the provisions Of the new excise
law. Nearly 100 extra cops will be on the
streets during the day and night to see that
allscreens are removed and that liquor Is not
sold.'
'tIt Is my belief. saidthe chief last night
that the saioon keepers will continue to
obey the law. OF curse we expect trouble
from eone men who do not have q high re-
gard for the law, blu We are on to their
tricks and will surely get them If they
ma ke an attempt to do business.
The recent decision of Acting Recorder
,Layerty Of Hoboken that the police have
no right to ma ke arrests Of saloon keepers
for failing to remove their screens on SUM-
days because the Common Council, the
licensing body Of the city, has not passed a
res olutiou ordering the screens down on
days when the sale Of liquor Is prohibited:
will probably result in a general refusal Of
the liquor dealers to expose the interior Of
their bar rooms to public view from the
streets to-day.
Chief of Police Patrick Hayes said last
evening that the police will do their level
best to prevent the sale OF intoxicating drinks
to-day in violat ion Of the statutes. He ad-
mittedt hatthe task would be rendered more
difficult than on the two preceding Sun
days II the saloon keepers do not nave" peek
aboo' saloon fronts.
There was a rumor In Hoboken last night
brigade of voluhte er, Sunday CRU
would invade the city to get evidence
against liquor dealers who take chances by
booze on the quiet.

SAYS DAUGHTER WAS MURDERED.
Mother OF Providence Chorus Girl Has War.
rant Issued for Denver Pm ysician.

rant ISSUED TOR Denver IN ys1cian.
DENVER, July 21.-Mr. and Mrs. H. p.
Spruin, parents of Cleo Spruin, a chorus
girl In the Daley Opera Company, who
died a week ago, presumably from the effects
OF ptomaine poisoning from eating potted
ham, have come on from Providence, RI.
The mother refuses to accept the cause
of death and a warrant has been sworn out
at her instigation against DR.. E. NJ. Brandt
charging him with murder. The mother
alleges that the doctor was infatuated with
her daughter and that her murder was
%felonious and premeditated.
Because Of the high standing Of DIR. Brandt
and the persistence OF the mother in assert
ing his guilt the case is attracting much
attention. Mrs. Spruin was not In the city
when her daughter died.
Miss Spruin and Miss Katherine Brown
were playing at Manhattan Beach and
roomed together. One night they ate some
sandwiches made of potted ham and the
next morning we're so i'll that they were taken
to DR.. Brandt's sanitarium. In a few days
Miss Brown died. Miss Spruin dice a few
day. r. later stss,d,D0 n,v.,ot, ~. d.o,, wi so.,,
due to typhoid resulting from ptomaines.
The mother OF Miss Spruin came a week
after her death and her charges against the
physician followed.
DR.. Brandt had gone to Chicago after a
patient when the warrant was issued. but
will return home at once. Other physicians
In the case declare the charges of the mother
to be g~roundless.
Providence, July 2i.-Miss Spruin had
been absent from her home in this city
q little more than a month and was sup
posed by her parents to be visiting a married
sister. the wife Of a Standard Oil official in
Boston. but on last Saturday Mrs. Spruin
received word from another married daugh-
ter. Mrs. Minnie Trombly of New York,
that the girl was dying in Denver.
Before they got started for Denver the
girl had died, it being stated in dispatches
received here that she succumbed to an
operation performed for a severe strain.
The Spruins came from Philadelphia to
this city about a year ago inc are said to
be well connected with prominent families
in New York and Philadelphia.

At s o'clock, the weather having cleared,
the aeronaut cast Of IN his ship and got along
well at first, m~aneuvEing several times

He thought at first that he was going to hit
b tracks and DO threw out q line for tho
people to catch, but when be saw he wal
just going to clear. he yelled at them to let
1t go. K~nabenshue had been prevented
from using three propellers, as he had in

found that with only one working the wind
was too strong for him, 80 he steered up
on the ST. roadway and shouted to I he free
seaters to grab the rope. They pulled him
down In safety. Then he got them to tow
him around to Washington Bridge, where

Somebody got a big board instead, and
this the aeronaut fastened on his ship to
counteract it's buoyancy, although several
bystanders volunteered to act personally as
ballast.
Now shove me over the railing, he said.
The crowd obeyed the airship sank gently
down to the field and that wasthe end Of the

MITCHELL, Ind. July 2i,-The Rev
I,emuel Hobson, a we'll known minister OF
the United Brethren Church, was shot and
fatally wounded last night by A. V. White,
a farmer with whose wife Hobson has
boarded for more than a year.
Last night White returned from his farm
and met Hobson In the sitting room Of his
home. Words passed between them and
White drew a pistol and fred, The bullet
entered Hobson's left side just below the
second rib and passed entirely through his
body.
White says the minister has been too in
innate with Mrs. White and that the matter
has grown till it is common talk among the
%neighbors. After the shooting White left
the house, but was overtaken by officers
and placed under arrest.
Hobson is now at the White home. where
he is in a critical condition. He is being
cared for by Mrs. White, who denies that
there is any ground for the charges against

appearance and would gradually drop

the flesh would be perfectly raw, and

would ooze out. That scaly crust
