RUTHERF0R WON
 ANOTHER VICTORY 4
 "Out Financed" the York Interests at the Annual
 Meeting of Stockholders Of Citizens Land Co. ELECTED PRESIDENT Captain York and Son Not Present at Meeting-StOck of Bluff City Lum. Der Company Voted Equally by In- diyiduals.
ELECTED PRESIDENT

Through some clever financiering by which he secured a majority of stock in the Citizens Land Company, which owns 360 acres of suburban property including Forest Park, John r. Rutherford, the local capitalist, yesterday scored another victory over~the York interests when he was elected president of the company at the annual meeting of the stockhold- CTS.
 Captain J. B. York and his son, Rob- ert York, who had things their own way at the last annual meeting of the land company's stockholders, were not present at the call meeting on Tuesday, although they had been in- formed of the hour for the meeting.
 At the meeting of the stockholders were w. H. Langford, John F. Ruth erford, R. l.. Rutherford and w. T. Young. The meeting was held in the latters office. John F. Rutherford, J. B. York and w. T. Young were elected directors, after which John ,,F. Rutherford was elected president, J. B. York, vice president, and w. T. Young, secretary and treasurer. The latter succeeds Robert York and the presidency was formerly held by M Langford.
 At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the land company, held during the latter part of December, 1906, the York interests voted ma jority of the stock in the company by voting the stock held by the Bluff City Lumber Company, which was at that time under their control. This stock could not be voted in that man. ner this year owing to existence of receivership for the Bluff City Lum- Der Company. Under a recent order, issued by Chancellor John M Elliott, the stock of the Bluff City Lumber Company in the land company and all other corporations in which the Bluff City Lumber Company is inter- esteu must be voted ill proportion ac- cording to the individual holdings in the Bluff City, Lumber Company
 The report of the secretary and treasurer of the land company yes- terday showed that the company was in fine financial condition. The annual dividend was declared.

test has just been repeated with oys-
tiers from the shores of Staten island
that is to say, from both sides of
the Narrows-and higher percentage
of disease was found. The comfort
ing theory was long held that the
sewage of New York was swept out to
sea, but it is found that the outgoing
and incoming tides meeting in the
Narrows drive the sewage back. so
that nearly so per cent. of the solid
matter in the sewage is left floating
in the bay or deposited on the
muddy bottom. Almost no food fishes
can be found in New York bay, and
the oysters which fatten there are
not fit for human food The commits

York market under various names

fever from August to September,
