81. 225 MILTON BIBLE
PROVES TO BE FORGERY.
Ink and Paper of Modern Sort, Declare
Experts of Book That Deceived
Many.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-That the sig
natures of John Milton and his third
wife, Elizabeth Milton, on the fiyleaf
of what has come to be known as the
John Milton family Bible,' a book
which was sold in New York recently
for 1925, are forgeries is now as
serted by George H. Richmond, a
dealer in old books and autographs,
who was the purchaser of the book at
the sale of the library Of William H.
Buckler, of Baltimore, secretary of the
American Legation at Madrid, Spain.
While the date following the alleged
Milton signature is 1854, the experts
state that the ink In which it is writ
ten is of modern make. The fyleaf on
which the signatures are written has
been inserted in the book, it is said,
and the paper is of a much more mod
ern sort than that which composes the
rest of the book. Elizabeth Millions
signature, the experts say, shows plain
evidence of having been traced.
The book itself is a copy of the edi-
ton known as the "breeches' Bible, so
called because in the description of the
life of Adam and Eve in the Garden
of Eden they are said to have sewed
fig leaves together to make them
selves ''~breeches'' instead of aprons
as the word is translated in other edi-
tions.

Russian Hero of Many Bat
Ties Must Answer for
Army humiliation.
LIFE IN THE BALANCE
Hundreds of Military Witnesses
Are Present at COurt-Marti
of General Who Surrendered
Port Arthur to Japanese
Three Years Ago.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 10.-Before
a brilliant assemblage of his old COM
rades in arms. Lieutenant-Ge Genera
Stoessel was today placed on trial to
answer with his life and reputation
for the loss of Port Arthur on the first
of January, 1905. and in firm tones and
with confident the general
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
n~eedlessly surrendering the fortress
and thereby humiliating the Russian
army.
The trial took place in the audi
forum of the Army and Navy Club.
The room resembled more a social
gathering of officers of high rank than
the scene of a court-martiaI Among
the judges, spectators and witnesses
were General Kuropatkin, General
Linevitch, General Rennenkampf, Vice.
Admiral Wren n scores of other
prominent leaders in the Russo-Jab-
anese war. There were also present
200 officers and soldiers who had been
at Port Arthur and who today were
clad in their full dress uniforms blaz-
ing with stars and decorations
General Stoessel alone was in civil
ian attire. and his made him conspicu-
GUS. He wore proudly around his neck
the Gordon of the military order of
st. George, which was conferred upon
him by the Emperor during the siege,
and on his breast was pinned the cross
of George Ill, awarded the general for
conspicuous bravery for frontier fight
ing. This same coveted decoration was
worn by many of the witnesses and
spectators. Empty sleeves and crutches,
especially among the men who lar bden
at Port Arthur, showed that many of
them had seen hard service during the
war. The other accused officers, Gen
erals Fock, Reiss and Smirnoff, came
to the court clad in their uniforms.
The court was convoked at noon by
Vice Admiral Doubassoff. He declared
it to be the duty of the court to pro-
coed with the trial of the four officers
charged with the responsibility of sur
rendering the fortress on terms dishon-
orable to the garrison and humiliatine
to the prestige of Russia. He Their
called the roll of 200 witnesses, inciud'
ing General Kuropatkin and Vice Ad-
miral Wren.
The entire afternoon was taken uI
with the reading of the voluminous
and detailed indictment.
One or two incidents showed the at
titude of the court to be unfavorable
to Stoessel. His personal request that
two additional witnesses be called in
was dismissed without ceremony. One
of these witnesses, DR.. Roseanoff, was
chief of the Red Cross within the fort
ress. At the preliminary hearing he
testified flat at the time of the sur
render General Stoessel had at his dis
posal only 5000 a~ble-bodied men to de-
fend the hundreds of miles of fortifica-
lions, and that the bitter cold winds
prevailing at the time made it difficult
for the soldiers to even hold their rifles
In their hands.

SEEK COMFORT STATIONS.
Clinton Hill Association Wants I'm
provements Placed in Parks.

J. C. McCurdy, chairman of the street
committee of the Clinton Hill Improve
ment Association, read a clear and COM
prehensiye report at the meeting of that
body. last night, on the necessity of estab-
fishing public comfort stations in this
city, and after going into details, showing
how they had been a success in most of
the, large cities of the United States, a
resolution was passed authorizing the
street committee to go before the finance
committee Of Common Council and
urge the necessity of appropriating
funds for the erection of stations
in the three public parks centrally To-
Gated, and further to urge the Board Of
Works, the Shade Tree Commission or the
Board of Health, whichever would have
charge Of such stations, to provide the
same at the earliest date possible.
There was some question as to the loca-
ton of the stations, a number thinking
that they should be on the street, but it
was decided that they should be under
ground, and II was pointed out by Com
missioner Frank j. Book, OF the Board Of
Works, that they should be situated In
the parks. apd consequently would be
under the supervision of the Shade Tree
Commission.

HURT AND NEARLY SCALPED
IN FACTORY.
Thomas Boyle Caught in Moving Belt.
Had His Wits About Him and
Saved His Life.

Thomas Boyle, % years old, of %
Providence street, had a narrow es-
cape from having his scalp torn from
his mead his morning while at work
at the Baeder & Adamson Fur Manu-
featuring Company in Lockwood
street.
Boyle was in the act of hanging up"
a belt, which he had just thrown off a
pulley when the belt formed a sort Of
a loop around his head. He had the
presence of mind to dodge quickly, but
not quickly enough to scape the belt,
which grazed the back of his head and
threw him to the floor.
When Boyle was picked up by his
fellow workmen it was found that he
had sustained a long scalp wound, sew
eral bruises on the neck, and the left
shoulder was badly lacerated. Tbs in
dex finger on his left hand was broken
at the first joint.
DIR. George F. Corrigan found that
BcgIe's injuries were not serious. The
physician dressed the wounds, and then
took Boyle home in his private am
bulance.
The Third Precinct Police Station
ambulance was also called to the fac
tory, but was not used.

LITERARY MAN WANTS
RESTRAINT SET ASIDE
Edward stratemeyer Seeks to Regain
Possession of Plates for
His Books.

Former Judge Skinner appeared before
V~ice-Chancellor Stevens today and asked
that a bill of restraint against Edward
Stratemeyer. granted some time ago 10
the Chatterton-Peck Publishing Company,
be granted.
The plaintiff is an author of books for
children. and he also buys manuscript from
other writers and publishes them in book
form. When his present trouble began
he had thirty-eight books In the hands OF
his publishers. who were then the Stitt
Publishing Company, of Railway. The
company paid all royalties, as per contract,
TO Mr.. S~tratemeyer.
Suddenly and without warning the Stltt
people quit publishing the books, and the
royalties stopped. On investigating the
author discovered that the Stitt COMPANY
had transferred the publication OF the
books to the Chatterton-Pe company,
and that the royalties were going to the
Stitt company.
Mr.. S%ratemeyer then demanded that the
plates from which the books were being
published be handed over to him, and he
went TO Quinn e. Borden, who were doing
the printing for the Slit company, and de-
manded his property. He was told that
1t belonged to the Chatterton- Peck COM
pany, an the latter Immediately forstalled
S~tratemeyer by securing a temporary order
Of restraint against him. This was granted
with the proviso that /Chatterton-Peck
company bond itself for $4,000.
This the company refused TO do, and Mr..
SINNERS motion before Vice-Chancellor
Stevens was to have this order of restrain
set aside.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Mrs. Fred
erica Veder, who was attacked by her
pet Newfoundland dog Hero at her
home, 444 Fifteenth street, Brooklyn,
rs believed today to have a lance OF
recovery, and may escape hydro
phobia.
The dog attacked her suddenly while
she was sitting in the parlor sewing
Her husband was upstairs when he
heard her scream. Finding her in a
s~emi-conscious condition trying to
fight off the dog veder beat off the
animal with a chair. With his wife
in his arms, Veder ran into the hall
with the intention of carrying her to
a physician. but the dog cut them Off
at the head of the stairs.
Charles Miller, of 442 Fifteenth street,
had just entered the apartment build
ing to visit a friend. He found Veder
standing in.a corner of the hall, his wife
on the floor behind him, holding the
dog by the back of the neck.
Miller hit the dog several blows on
the head with a piece of gas pipe and
drove the beast back into the front par

fully torn and her face lacerated. He
called an ambulance from the Seney
Hospital, where she was taken n her
wounds cauterized. When she had left
the doctors home Veder tainted and
was cared for by the doctor.
Meantime Miller was battling with the
dog in the parlor in which the woman had
been attacked. He had tried to tie its
legs together, after he had apparently
dazed it with blows, but the Newfound-
land had escaped and drove Miller into a
corner. There he defended himself with a
chair. Other men, tenants of the house,
went to Miller's assistance. They over
powered and tied the dog and carried him
to the shelter In Flatbush, where he was
Gagged to await the results of the injuries
to his mistress.

FOR
RIP RAN
RIGHTS
Commissions Receipts for
Past Year Greatest in
Its History.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, Dec. 10.-Showing receipts
for the fiscal year ending October 81 last
of 1898, S25.3 80, the largest in its history, tie
annual report of the State Riparian Com
missioners has been filed with Governor
Stokes. This record-breaking amount was
received from the following sources.
Leases. 1874, 1877; grants. $40, $50 S; licenses,
81 $50; conversions, s21, 80; rentals on
leases. $S5, 070.O4.
Some of the most important grants made
during the past year by the commission
were as follows: City of Atlantic. City,
| grant on Atlantic Ocean and Absecon In
let, $24, 794; Cape May Real Estate Com
pany, Atlantic Ocean and Thoroughfaresi
$40, 1000; city of Atlantic. City, Atlantic
| Ocean and Absecon Inlet, $21,O62; United
New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company,
Hackensack River. 1890: J. Edward
Ogden, Kill Won Kull, $780, 900; Calvin Temp
kins, Passaic River, $10,933; borough OF
Edgewater, Hudson River, 81, $780,; United
Lead Company, Arthur Kill. $3.50; James
Brady's Sons Company, Kill o kull,
$4,475. The most important lease was maGe
in April last to the Bulls Ferry Chemical
Company for riparian rights on the Hud-
son River in the principal sum of 49,4iO.
The commissioners account for the in
creased business by the fact that small
tracts of the desirable water fronts of the
| State, where it is valuable, has been Sc
lected by men interested in commercial
developments, which it Is argued still
points favorably to New Jersey as the
home of important industries. The com
mission declares that 1t has maintained
the advanced prices determined upon some
time ago and while considerable opposi-
tion and criticism has been manifested
by applicants, 1t has been successful in
securing these favorable prices without
discouraging or driving away bona hde In
Vestors.
The report shows that no litigation has
been necessary during the past year to
maintain the title of the State to lands
under water. During the year the COM
mission has looked into the matter of large
arrearages of riparian rentals extending
back some thirty years. The matter of
collecting these rents was pushed, with the
result that $1,000 has been collected and
paid into the State Treasury In the rest
of The arrearage cases the commission
visited the lands in question and took pos
The leases have been cancelled and these
lands again made subject to disposal by
the State.
Speaking of the complaint that the Ri
parian Commission was making grants of
natural seed oyster grounds the report in
sists that the commission has made no
grants for a number of years for the pur-
pose of cultivating oysters, and has used
a form of grant that 1t was advised was
a proper one in carrying out its duties
under the statutes. The report a further
that the suggestion in the report of the
Assembly investigating committee, that
the Oyster Commission, in which the lands
applied for lie, be notified of such appli-
cation, has been complied with.
