David Harum," with an exceptionally
strong cast, will be presented at the Or

This simple announcement will awaken
a~nticipations of pleasure In the minds OF

1t. That they will want to see David.
Aunt Polly, Deacon Perkins and the other
characters who move through the story on

IS
IN HOSPITAL
VERY ILL
Noted Turfman and SpeCu-
IatOr Confined at Request
of His Vile.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Newton Ben
nington, the horseman, realty dealer
and financier, has been removed from
the Palatlne Hotel In Newburg, where
he has been staying for some months,
to DIR. Combes's sanatorium at Flush
ing. He is In a very weak and de-
ranged condition, but his friends hope
that after a long rest in h sanatorium
he will fully regain his health.
Mrs. Bennington applied for a lunacy
board to examine her husband in Au-
gust, and upon the testimony given
before It by Drs. Winter and Baird,
Judge Seeger, of Orange County, or
dered that he be taken to the n
torium.
Bennington was identified prominent
ly with horse racing for about ten
years. His first turf venture was in
partnership with Frank Gardner. For
the three years of the partnership their
horses led the winning list on the
smaller tracks of the Northern and
Canadian circuits and were very sue
cessful at the winter meetings at New
Orleans, in addition to winning fire.
quently on the New York tracks.
Bennington engaged in stock specu-
nihOi NJ OOo hAS t
withdrew from his racing partnership
at the end of three years. For a time
he was a Spectator on a large scale.
He returned to racing after an interval
of about a year, and again made a
profitable partnership, this time with
Fred Burlew. The firm employed Jockey
Frank O'Neil, who for several years
was the leading rider on the New York
turf, and the stable became one of the
great racing establishments of he
turf.
Bennington made a contract under
which his stable raced about the best
of the horses offered annually at the
yearling sales of ]. B. Haggin's big
breeding establishments. In addition to
winning many great races, the stable
developed and sold a number of race
horses for big prices, the most notable
of these being the t~wo-year-old De
Mund, for $40, 900.
Another of the fortunate strokes Of
the firm of Bennington & Burlew was
a lease of Beldame's running qualities
from August Belmont in the year that
the flly made almost a clean sweep
of the great stakes for which she was
eligible.
When the success of his racing stable
was at it's height Bennington engaged
in speculation in suburban real estate
and made large profits in that bust
ness for several seasons. He extended
his operations when the last great
boom in Long Island real estate began,
and until less thar two years ago was
credited with being enormously
wealthy.
Business reverses which began in the
early part of 1906 swept away a great
part of his fortune, and last summer
he closed out his racing affairs and
retired from the turf in ill-health with
his wife at their fine HON in Bath
Beach.

HUDSON 0 FORT
DELEGATES TO VOTE FOR
HIM IN CAUCUS TONIGHT.
Platform Must Be Drawn So as It will
Satisfy Both the New Idea and
Machine Forces.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 1e.-That the
organization Republican delegates to
the State convention. who caucus at
Lincoln Hall, Jersey City, tonight, will
almost unanimously decide on Justice
j. Franklin Fort for G~ubernatorial cam
didate, was the opinion expressed by
one of the leaders today. He said he
had talked with many of the men, and
they all seemed to have picked the jus
tice as the winner. and believed that
his nomination by the State convention
was equivalent to his election.
Besides this the delegates will get
busy tonight and nail a few hardwood
planks in the party platform 1t is
conceded that this will be rather i
difficult task. A majority of the or
g%anization have vowed their intention
to support Mayor Mark NJ. Pagan for
a fourth term, with the idea that he is
the logical candidate, a fact attested
by the voters at the primaries, and be-
sides this they must of necessity stand
by the organization man for various
offices. Their platform must therefore
be one that is not antagonist { to the
New Idea forces, but still satisfactory
to the machine.
Equal taxation and closer watch on
corporations acting in the cities and
counties of the State may prove two
of the planks, but the machine men
will find themselves lining UP on a
plain, New Idea platform. Just how
much figure new schemes for local OPP
tion, looking to the amendment of the
Bishops law, may cut is a matter of
opinion, but 1t seems almost certain
that something in this line will be sug-
gested at the caucus, as it has in other
counties of the State, and If a plan is
definitely decided upon it will doubt
less be swung with great vigor during
the campaign.
There was much discussion among
politicians today of the rumor to the
effect that Justice Fort had decided to
withdraw from the race for the
Governorship. but there seemed to be
absolutely no ground for this, and the
leaders made it their business to COM
municate this fact to the delegates not
within the direct firing line. 1t was
considered to be a use to cause a
furry of indecision in the Republican
ranks.

DR.. COLT ON MILK
OPPOSED TO COMPULSORY
PASTEURIZATl0N.
Well-Known Physician Addresses the
International Milk Conference
at Brussels.

BRUSSELS. Sept. 16.-Dr. Henry L.
Colt, of Newark, N. j., president of the
American Association of Medical MIX
Commissions. strongly opposed, in an adj
dress yesterday at the International MIX
Congress. the compulsory pasteurization OF
milk as a means Of effectively improving
the supply Of milk. DIR. Colt said that to
employ pasteurization as anything more
thar a temporary expedient would be I'M
desirable. because it would remove the in
centive to the public TO compel the pro-
Queer to accomplish an improvement.
Pasteurized milk in bulk was not only
intrinslcally less desirable than clean. raw
milk, declared DR.. Colt, but was actually
unsafe unless it was consumed WITHIN
twenty-four hours, and was kept at or be-
low 10 degrees centigrade. DR.. Colt also
said:
ITO resort TO the compulsory pasteuriza-
ton of the milk supply of large cities ms a
protection against tuberculosis, instead OF
taking more radical measures for its erad-
ication from milk herds, would be pro-
tectIng only those who live in those cities,
and expose all who live in the rural dis
tricts. The only real safeguard lies In the
complete eradication of bovine tuberculo-
sis"
DR.. Colt said his association was en-
gagged in promoting a plan for the medical
of n portion of the milk supply In
cities, in order to obtain the highest pos
grade of milk which was designed
for clinical purposes, and was known In
the United States as certified milk"
The gre passed n resolution con-
demning the use of raw milk and advising
mothers only to use milk hat has been
brought to the boiling point, pasteurized
sterllized.
Nathan Straus. of New York, has do
mated a complete pasteurizatlon plant to
the city of Brussels.
DIR. Henry L. Colt, of this city, who is
president of the American Association of
Milk Commissions, representative
of the Society for Improving the Condition
of the Poor OF New York and connected
the Newark Babies Hospital, left
this city September 3 to represent these
societies and institutions at the Inter
national Milk Congress at Brussels.

BIGGEST SCHOONER is
TIED UP BY THE LAW.
The Seven Master Thomas W. Lawson
Libelled by the Standard Oil
Company.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-Because the
Sun Oil Company, a subsidiary Of the
Standard Oil. claims that a contract was
broken, the seven-masted schooner
Thomas w. Lawson. the largest schooner
in the world. has been libelled and is now
sin hock'' In the Erie Basin. According
to the claimants the Lawson was engaged
in carrying coal from Newport New to
this port until May, 1906, when the claim
ants chartered her to carry oil for five
years, as alleged. at a monthly rental of
81, 1900.
On August /, when the Sun OIL Com
pany ordered her TO sail for Sabine, Tex,
the skipper refused to take her out unless
additional steel structures and an expen-
sive chamber were provided. The sun
people claim that the failure Of the ves-
sci to sail as ordered has damaged them
to the extent Of q quarter OF a million
dollars.
Captain John r. Crowley part owner.
arrived here today to look into the legal
side Of the case. Captain Arthur Crowley.
who formerly commanded the big schoon-
er. said he believed that he matter would
be amicably adjusted between the owners

WHAT APPLEBY FAVORS.
Republican Nominee for Mayor Of
Asbury Park Gives His Views.

ASBURY PARK, Sept. 1T. Frank
Appleby, former president of Common
Council, who, after two years Austen
ton from politics, has reentered the
field as Republican candidate for
Mayor, launched his campaign last
night.
Mr.. Appleby favors a sepic sewer
plant for Asbury Park, but he would
not change the present system until
the resorts north and south along the
shore have mad arrangements to do
the same. Mr. Appleby believes that
the change in sewage should be de-
handed by the Board of Health.
The candidate complimented the
Beach Commissioners on the prospects
of their erection OF large swimming
pools along the ocean front. He said
he favored the throwing open of the
Beach Casino to the public and a dis
continuance of this building as a
theatre. The right of the city authori-
ties to use the building for private en-
terprise has long been questioned. Mr.
Appleby said he favored the building
of a large convention hall by the city,
and in connection with carnival week
events, those given in connection with
the baby parade, he believed That the
attractions should be held in July in
stead of at the heighth of the season.
