the law has been carefully and properly
enforced" says the State Board of
Pharmacy in its sixth annual report,
which has been filed with Governor
Stokes. Continuing, the report says:
"While there have been no cases prose-
ruted the board has not been idle. but
has investigated all complaints where
the law was supposed to nave been vlo-
lated. SOME cases have, by the advice
IF the General, been adjusted
without resorting to "a trial by the
courts. Warning has been given TO ell
violators that the law must be OBJ
served, and that there are at present
several cases ready for prosecution
where this advice has not been com
piled with"
The report shows that there are 2,263
registered pharmacists and 104 regis
cred assistants in the State, making
1867 on record in good standing.
The report of the treasurer shows re-
eeipts for the veal amounting to
;3,597.6S, and the disbursements were

he was found.
The man bled but little, the hemor-
rhage being internal. 1t was the assas-
sin slamming the door after him and
Avellino's fall that the Frunzi brothers
heard.
Mrs. Alfred T. ~Sorgenfree. who lives
next door, heard a noise about the time
Avellino was killed and this leads to the
belief hat If she could of heard a dis
turbance the Frunzis must have heard
more than the care to tell. +
The police found a black derby hat In a
corner in the shop, and this they think may
possibly furnish a clue, for Avellino was
never known to wear q stiff hat. This hat
may have been left by the murderer in his
haste to escape.
In Avellino's store was found a certifi-
cate showing that he belonged to the
Sicilian Mutual Benefit Society. Antonio
Daguatti. an italian interpreter, sent by
the prosecutors office. said this society is
an organization without any connection
with any of the Nso-called Black Hand Or
CARNATIONS, and has a respectable element

the property-owners have been IN a
quandary and unable to make affida-
Wits to secure the necessary dispossess

tenants. This, they claim, was the
only thing that prevented them from

Now that they have the necessary in

ALARMED BY
JAP INFLUX
Residents Perturbed Over
Arrival Of 3Oa--l,2OO
More Expected Soon.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 4.-The I'M
explained arrival of 300 Japanese at
Vancouver yesterday, and the prospect
of an influx of 1900 within the next
month from Honolulu are the features
of the Oriental situation at Vancouver.
The 300 Japanese came from the coast
logging camps. and some ven from
the American side of the boundary line.
There was the usual crop of rumors
last night that they came In view of
possible trouble, and officers of the
Asiatic Exclusion League are much
perturbed over the event.
1t was announced yesterday that at
least 1000 Japanese would come from
Hawaii during the next three weeks.
One steamship, already chartered, will
leave Honolulu with $50 aboard for
now being arranged to carry others.
Then, too, all the accommodations of
the ships of the Canadian-Australian
ahead of the Japanese of Honolulu.
There is room in the steerage for only
fifty by each ship.
VI course, tecnnlcaiIy, inc patefnal
Japanese Government cannot do any
thing to prevent the coming of these
Japanese to British Columbia, for the
Japanese are free-will agents once
they have turned in their passports at
the islands, and there is really moth
ing tt prevent them coming to this
outpost Of Great Britain, the ally of
Japan.
So far no action has been taken by
the police or other authorities toward
the d%isarming of the japanese. 1t is
estimated that there are hundreds of
~serviceable firearms in the Japanese
section.

Suspects Who Say They
Heard Shot That Killed
NeWarker.

Circumstantia1 evidence now in the
hands of the police gives the latter the
impression that the men under arrest
know something of the murder of
Tenement House Inspector George H
Fischer, who was shot through the eye
in his home early New Years morning
The two suspects gave their James as
Antonio Parriro, IS years old, of 14a
Jefferson street, and Tony Bennatto, 20
years old, of 39s First street, Jersey
City. The Third Precinct police say
Bennatto has admitted to ~housebreak-
ing and horse stealing.
The police are searching in Jersey
City today for a companion of the two
men under arrest. Both of the prison
ers are Italians. They are thoroughly
frightened. Captain Christie said to-
day that the case against the two
important developments at any time.
The two prisoners admitted hearing
the shot which ended Fischer's life.
They claim at the time that they were
cooking potatoes in their home, having
been out celebrating the arrival of a
new year.
1t was Plainclothesman Mcconnell
who first got the clue to the two men
now under arrest. His information was
that they knew something about the
killing of a policeman. The two were
examined at some length last night and
the statements made by each were
carefully gone over.
What grounds and what evidence the
police have for holding the two young
men connected with the murder they
refuse to disclose at present.
Joseph Frirsolone, IS years old, of &C
Montgomery street, who was arrested
with the other two suspects. was al
lowed to go.
It is understood that a written report
has been made ~ Captain Christie by
Mrs. Wellington II. Ludlow, of 115 JEFF
ferson street, in which she states that
shortly after the shot was fired she
saw two men running through the
street. One was slightly in advance OF
the other, and both nearly collided with
two women who were going in the
opposite direction. 1t was said today
that the women had been found by the
Prosecutors detectives, but the report
was denied at his office.
The Jefferson street house is directly
opposite st. James's Hospital, about
half a block north of Lafayette street
and the house where the murder was
committed is one door in from the cor
ner of Lafayette street in Congress

WEDDING
CERTIFICATE
TO BITS
PaveSe, Fencer, Angered at
Daughters Marriage to
Her Uncle.

When a certificate of the wedding of
Monia Pavese to Rocco Delasso. pre-
scented as evidence, before Judge Ten
Eyck, in the Orphans Court, today,
Generoso Pavese, the girls father,
seized it and tore it to bits. He was
so excited that he had to be elected
from the room.
Exciting incidents followed fast when
the two men appeared in court for a
final hearing on their matrimonial en-
t~anglement. The hearing was private,
being conducted in the judges cham
bers. The Dalassos figured prominently
in the public prints several months ago.
The girls father is a fencer of note,
and claims to be the worlds champion.
Her husband is her mothers brother.
He was on terms of intimacy with her
family, until one night the two disap-
peared from the city. The father APP
pealed to the police, saying that the
girl had stolen jewelry and money
amounting to several hundred dollars.
The couple were arrested in Elizabeth
and were brought back. The robbery
charge failed; out a~nother-illegal in
termarriage-was sustained. They were
released on bail, and are said to have
lived together since. A child has been
born to them.
The passing months have not iessened
the indignation of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pavese, and both were ready to fly
at h Threats of the couple when they
met at the Court House today.
AS Mrs. Pavese passed through the
reception room on the way to the
judges chambers, she got the first
glimpse of her brother-son-in-law. She
promptly spat in his face. Hal it not
been for Assistant Prosecutor Wilbur
A. Mott, who accompanied her, there
would nav been a scene. He threw
himself in the breach, calling a half
dozen constables from the court room.
They restored order.
1t was difficult to restrain the parties
from personal encounter. as the evil
dence was being taken. When h GER
tificate of the wedding, as made out by
Justice of the Peace Edward Leonard,
was presented and laid on the table in
front of the judge, Pavese lurched for
ward, grabbed 1t and hurriedly tore it
to shreds. He vas forced from the
room, and as he left he cried, vehe-
mently:
II want justice, I must have my
justice!'
He was searched, but carried no
weapon.
After that Pavese was kept out of
the room. except when 1t was necessary
| hat he be there.
When outside he let his anger ooze
out In the shape of excited statements
about how he would like to kill his SON.
Observation-Disclosures. Mrs. Pavese
had to be taken from the court several
times to prevent her making a per-
sonal attack on her daughter.
1t was expected that the two would
be sentenced, as they entered technical
pleas of guilty several weeks ago. Ow-
ing to the absence of their attorney.

SHIP WET WITH DISASTER

PORTLAND, Me, Jan. 4.-Another
hope that the missing Canadian Pacific
steamer Mount Royal, with her. 400
passengers and crew, might be towed
into port was dissipated on the arrival
here today of the Allan line steamer
Hungarian. As the latter ship was
twenty days out from Glasgow n a
week overdue, shipping circles in Lon
don were led to believe that she had
fallen in with the Mount Royal, which
left Antwerp December z for st. John,
and is now long overdue, and expected
to hear she was being towed into Port
land. No trace of the Mount Royal
was seen by the Hungarian.
The Allan liner had a hard passage.
due to heavy head winds, hut sustained
no damage.
