COMPANY MUST DRAIN
POTTER'S FIELD POOL
Council Committee Finds That Pennsyl-
vania Has Not Carried Out an
Agreement It Made.

Mayor Jacob Haussling today requested
the law department to nave the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad do away with a disease
breeding pool in the Potter's Field. The
railroad company, it is said, promised to
eradicate the pool some years ago. The
city at that time allowed the railroad
company a piece of land In the southerly
section of the city's cemetery If the eom-
pany would fill in or drain off the land.
A thick green scum covers the water.
The Board of Health has e~ndeavored
several times TO have the railroad fulfill
its agreement.
At the committee meeting last night
Aldermen Leveen, Holzner and Wohl-
farth were appointed to aid the Board of
Health in its efforts to have the pool done
way with.
AS n result of the inspection made yes
terday by the Mayor and committee the
committee appropriated 500 to put In
order another section of the cemetery. The
superintendent receives about $500 a year,
50 for each burial. That was considered
insufficient, so the extra 800 was appro-
priated for him to do the extra work.
The salary of John Dwyer, clerk to the
overseer of the Poor. was Increased from
$1,000 to 81, 200, subject to the approval of
the Council tonight.

eral lays that something was going
to happen to her husband, who owns
the big cider press at Patrick's Cor
ner, near here, so when he started to

the Dayton crossing by one of the
Trenton and New Brunswick Fast
Line" trolleys, and that he had been
hurried to a Trenton Hospital, more
dead than alive. When Mrs. Patrick
recovered from a swoon she swore
that she would shoot the motorman IL

to Trenton. only to learn that her
husband had not been taken there,
but was at Dayton in care of two
physicians.
Patrick explained thai he knew that
that car was coming. as he heard the
whistle. but that he lost control of his
team of mules and couldn't stop them.
His heavy farm wagon was demolished,
n Of the mules was killed and the
glass and fender of the car were shat
tered, but Patrick escaped with cuts
on his head.

NIGHT COURT E TO
A RUSHING BUSINESS.
Professional Bondsmen Deprived of Big
Revenue by New York's New
Method of Justice.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2,-There will be
no more languishing in cells on a desk
~lieutenant's say-so or premiums paid
to professional bondsmen on trumpet
up arrest cases in this city. From now
on the policeman who makes an arrest
at any hour of the day or night will
have to, forthwith, show cause before
a mistrate.
With pomp and ceremony betting
the occasion, New York's first all-night
police court was opened last night. II
was well ~patronized. The first of tht
seventy-two unfortunates arraigned al
the opening were two men had
sold candy on the street without a Ii
cense, and were fined 50 each. Dis
turbers of the peace, suspicious char
acters and plain DRINKS followed in
rapid succession.
Then came several women of dis
orderly repute, and with their a~rraign-
ment was illustrated one of the most
important features of the night court.
Heretofore professional bondsmen have
reaped a harvest In keeping out of Jail
for the night many of these women
who, upon subsequent hearings, We're
discharged. 1t has been alleged that
many such arrests were made without
warrant and for the benefit of the
bondsmen. There will be no advantage
in UGH cases now, unless cases
against the prisoners can be proven.
The formal hours of the court will
be from . p. m. to 3 a. M. 1t is ex-
pected that other night courts will be
required to handle the after-dark bust
ness, out this matter will be allowed
to develop itself.
An interesting development last night
was the discovery that the coming to
night court of patrolmen left many
beats unprotected. One section, where
5000 families are housed, was left
without a policeman while it's seven
night officers took their prisoners to
court. One Of the magistrates said
that on cold winter nights officers
would be tempted to make arrests on
any pretext in order to spend a few
hours in a warm room
The first nights record was as fol-
lows: Number of cases during first
hour, So; number of prisoners received
to 1925 a. m, 1853; arrangements up to
2 a. M, 215; minimum fine imposed, 81;
maximum fine imposed, $40.

BRITISH HEADS
ARE BIC AS EVER,
Records of School Boys Halter Show No
Observation-Disclosures Averages for
Height and Weight.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-That the British head
is shrinking and British muscles degenera-
ting, as recently charged by certain scien-
lists, was refuted by evidence introduced
at the meeting of the British Association
mt Leicester. Records for the last twenty
years at Marlborough College show that
the 14-year-old boys there average five
pounds heavier and nearly an inch taller
than those of 1885.
A halter who furnishes hats for six
schools vouches that hats of 2lh inches
circumference formerly were rarely de-
manded, while now hats 221a inches in cir
conference are needed continuously.
Sir Victor Horsley proposed a motion at
the meeting urging the government to in
stitute In connection with the medical in
spection of school children a system of
periodic measurement.
