4DLFFERENCE OF OPINION.

There seems to be a difference OF
opinion as to the expediency of
opeuing the Rio Grande to naviga-
ton. as it is thought by some who
are interested in the subject OF
irrigation in this valley that the
wafer of the stream will be used to
much greater advantage, if devot-
ed exclusively to irri G a t Il
PURPOSES, than if used for naviga-
ton. 1t is contended that the
further development of irrigation
IN this section might be seriously
hampered, should it be decided by
the two governments interested IN
the Rio Grande TO deepen the
stream and use it for navigation,
as there might not be sufficient
water for both purposes. If this
4 be correct, it may be that the sug-
gestion of THE HERALD, which was
Che outgrowth of the recomenda-
sion made by Capt. Jadwin for
the cutting af a channel from Brazos
Santiago to the river, was based
upon mistaken idea. 1t would
perhaps be well for those most
interested in the subject to look
into the matter, before Congress
man Garner goes ahead with his
undertaking to secure the deepen
ing of the river for navigation, and
see that nothing may be done that
would possibly be preJud1clal to
the best interests of this section.

POLICE DOGS IN SERVICE
Experiments in New York Prove Their
Usefulness.

New Yo.k, Jan. 28.-New York $
police dogs were put into active
service early this morning for the
first time. Experiments with the
Belgian hounds brought f r m
Europe and trained with an especial
view to service as an adjunct to the
city's police force. proved the ct
fectiveness of their instructions.
Sham attacks on uniformed men
by policemen in plain clothes were
promptly resented by the dogs,
only the muzzles on the animals
preventing serious harm being
done to the aggressors. The dogs
after their exercise in the district
between Prospect Park and Coney
Island after midnight were taken
away before daylight, but will be
on duty tonight at 10 O'Clock and
kept working until 3o'clock touior-
row morning. For the present
they will be restrained by ieashes,
but after they learn sthe precinct
they will be allowed to roam at
large.
Arrow of steam-heated dog
houses has been erected in the rear
of the Parkville police station for
their accommodation.

SAVING WOOD.

Fred Masrh has just completed the construction of monster wood saw ing machine. IL was started to work on the big logs along Mill avenue yes terday morning. The power is sup piled by Sandoz's gasoline engine and the machine Is capable of saving q twenty-two inch log. Experiment has proven, however, that there are logs to be used that are even larger than this so yesterday a larger saw was or dered by wire. The new one will be fOrty-four inches and will handle a pretty good sized tree By the use of this machine a great deal of wood that has heretofore been burned up to get 1t out of the way, can be cut into stove wood lengths and then split into de- sirable sizes for kitchen use.

FILE BRIEFS
IN COOK SUIT
Talking Of Testimony in Action
Brought to Break Will Sister
Of Widow a Witness.
ASYLUM ATTENDANTS TESTIFY

The taking of testimony In the
Cook will case concluded Wednes-
day afternoon at New Brunswick and
after counsel on both sides had sum-
med up, Judge Booraem allowed ten
days in which to file briefs.
Mrs. Elizabeth de Novelties, a sis
ter of Mrs. Cook, and two attendants
at the Essex County Hospital for the
Insane, were among the last witness
es called. Lawyer Beekman. for the
prosecution somewhat angered Mrs.
de Novelties, when he insisted upon
knowing her age The witness in
return, greatly excited the ire of the
counselor, whom she referred to as
Becky"
Judging from the preponderance
of testimony, 1t appears evident that
Cook was insane, prior to his death.
Whether he was insane at the time Of
the making of his will. is a point to
be decided by the Orphans Court, in
which the case Is being tried. John
w Beekman. for the prosecution,
states that there is every indication
that Cook was insane when the will
was signed. He further declares that
Cook must have been given some
drug to quiet him as he was upon the
date of the signing of the will.

DEATH COMES
TO Mr.. REILLY
Injuries Prove Fatal Despite Un-
firing Vigil by Physician
a Pathetic Case.
TAKE BODY TO BALTIMORE

In spite of all the aid that medical
skill could afford, M. j. Reilly died
at IL o'clock last night in the city
hospital as the result of injuries re-
ceived in a fall last Friday from a
roof at the American SIN citing &
Refining Works. DR.. w. E. Ramsay
never relaxed his vigil at Mr.. Reilly's
bedside.
Mr.. Reilly, who came here from
Baltimore six months ago, had made
many friends. His wife and two
children did not accompany him to
this city, but a few days ago Mrs.
Reilly, when notified of her hus-
bands condition, came at once. The
body will be sent to Baltimore by
Undertaken Thomas F. Burke, this
afternoon, for interment. Mrs.
Reilly, who has been staying with
friends in Kearny avenue, will leave
for her home this afternoon.
Mr.. Reilly's untim ely death was
caused by a fall. He was walking
up an inclined roof at the plant when
he fell, rolled down the roof forty
feet and then fell to the ground
nineteen feet below. Both legs were
broken and both ankles fractured.
Wednesday, on account of septic
infection, it was necessary to ampu-
tate his left leg to save his life, and
even then there was little hope for
his recovery. He is survived by q
wife and two children, daughter
eighteen years old, and d son fifteen.
