the manner In winch the American fleet
has wlthstOod the strain OF its trip.
Rear Admiral Evans fleet now enters
upon one of the most difficult parts Of its
trip to the Pacific. the navigation of the
eastern part of the Strait OF Magellan.
With favorable weather the fleet should
complete this passage and arrive at Punta
Arenas In about twelve hours. The first
hundred miles Of the strait are compar-
atively uninteresting. The land on either
sue - low ana covered WIN grass, with
scarcely a tree to be seen to Cape Negro.
Through this section the depth OF the
water rarely exceeds ae9 feet. there are
many banks and shoals and the tidal
streams rapid. The tide rising from
thirty-six to forty-fUur feet. An anchor
age may be obtained IN almost any part
Of the eastern end Of The strait except in
the narrows. At Caue Negro trees are
seen and the land gradually becomes
higher The forests gov denser and the
mountains are higher A the middle Of the
strait is approached. n approaching the
Strait OF Magellan frout the eastward Cape
Virgins is usually the first land seen. 1t
is a white cliff, 1876 feet high. on which
there is lighthouse and several dwell
ings. In clear weatherl the cape is visible
from distance Of twenty to twenty five
miles.
When Punta Arenas has been reached
and the ships OF Rear Admiral Evans
fleet anchor off the port the officers and
men will have the best time Of the year in
which to see the town and country there

TO REVIEW ACTS
OF AUTHORITIES
IN POSTER WAR
Chief Justice Gummere Grants
Writ in Suburban Billboard
Crusade.

Two writs of certiorari reviewing
suburban bill poster cases were allowed
by Chief Justice Gummere in the Su-
preme Court circuit today, on motion Of
John r. Hardin, who want the action of
the authorities reviewed.
One of the writs was directed against
Policeman Thomas F. Mcclure, of
South Orange, who placed stephen and
Patrick Gaynor, employees of the New
ark Bill Posting Company, under ar
rest recently for alleged violation of an
ordinance covering blll-posting. The
men are under parole, pending the
action taken today which takes their
eases to the Supreme Court. Mr.. Har-
din, who was not opposed, told the
court hat he had failed to find any
authority for the Village of South Or
ange to pass any ordinance of the kind
alleged to have been violated, and pre-
ented afidavits reciting the facts in
the case.
The othA writ covers the conviction
for an alleged offense of the same class,
also involving stephen Gaynor, who
was fined $50 by the local court of East
Orange. In this it was also claimed
that there was lack of authority. An
other point made was the fee was un-
reasonably high.
City Counsel Jerome d. Gedney, OF
East Orange, asked for leave to take
testimony and received an order from
the court to that effect. !

EGGS ARE
DOPEO WITH BEER,
BORAK AND MILK
Federal Authorities Investigate
ing AdulteratiOn-No DiscOv-
cries Made in Newark.

The discovery by Federal inspectors
that INSCRIPTIONS wholesalers are
doping rotten eggs with condensed
milk and beer, and selling them in
bulk in various parts of the country,
was investigated with respect to New
ark by a reporter from THE EVE
MING STAR today. 1t was said by
Frederick Seller, of Seller Brothers,
milk dealers, that the household trade
had nothing to fear from this adultera-
ton and that the stuff was mostly
used by cheap bakers.
Formaldehyde and borax are used by
the dealers to take away the odor of
putrefaction and beer is mixed in with
the mess to make it look fresh. The
stuff is then put up in cans, sealed and
used in confectionery stores and baker
les of the cheaper class.
The sale of this product in Philadel-
phia is being Investigated by the Fed
eral authorities with a view to prose-
cutting the manufacturers.

PLAN FOR NEWARK
MEETS APPROVAL
Declared at Hearing That Build
ing Laws Also Should
Be Modified.

The extension of the fire limits so as
to cover the entire city was the ques-
ton discussed at the hearing before
the Common Council committee on o n
.struction and alteration of buildings
last night. The Board of Trade and
other bodies were represented, and It
was the consensus of opinion that the
fire limits should be extended to the
city limits. but hat in the. outlying
districts houses of tive or three stories
should be allowed to be built of wood,
while six family tenements of that
height and all buildings larger should
be constructed Of stone or brick.
Frank j.. Book, president of the Bbard
of Works. declared that it would be a
detriment to the growth of the city to
allow only brick buildings in case the
fire limits were extended. and Colonel
Fighter, Eugene Gahwiller n former
School Commissioner Edward Schoen
spoke along the same lines.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 2S.-Joseph Mar
shall died last night from the effects Of
a bullet wound inflicted by James Con-
molly in a dispute at the close of the
Democratic primaries in the Second

when informed of Marshalrs death, de-
clined to discuss the shooting or the
Incidents that led up to 1T. saying he
would give his version of the affair at
the proper time.
Connolly's father, well-known In the
Second ward, said today:
II regret the occurrence, but from

jeopardy. He had been told earlier In

Connolly will probably plead self
defense.
