HEALTH
BOARD MEASURE
IS TURNED DOWN
Bill Would Relieve Physicians
from Examination for
Sanitary Jobs.
tFrom a Staff Correspondent

TRENTON, March .4.-Assemblyman
Hines, of Essex. chairman of the com
mittee on public health, has reported
adversely to the Assembly the amend
ment to the Board of Health bill intro
duced by Assemblyman Ramsay, of
Middlesex County, in the interests of
the Wittpenn administration in Jersey
City.
The bill seeks to legalize the appoint
ments of sanitary officers made by the
Jersey City Board of Health, which are
now being tested in the courts, and
provides that physicians appointed as
sanitary officers need not undergo the
examination prescribed by the State
Board of Health i'm order to qualify.
The law provides that no person shall
serve as sanitary officer i'll any city
who has not passed a rigid examina-
ton before the State Board. The State
Board holds examinations for health
officers twice each year.
When the Pagan Board of Health
was succeeded by the board appointed
by Mayor Wittpenn the Wittpenn
pOcAN NAoSAAdA IL CIV ~
Robertson, DR.. Ferdinand Sauer and
Hugh Gallagher, experienced men,
licensed by the State Board of Health,
and appointed DR.. Edward Mulvaney,
DIR. John Cravan and DIR. Murtaugh,
although the bill provides that only
men duly licensed by the State Board
shall serve. The three doctors went to
the State Board and requested special
examinations. The State Board refused
to depart from its rule, and told them
they would have to wait for the regu-
lar examination. several months herce.
Meanwhile the Pagan men took their
case to court. The Ramsay bill was
introduced by a Middlesex County
member, to avoid suspicion of it's real
object, which was to legalize the APP
pointments of Jersey City physicians
The Newark Board OF Health aided
in killing the bill.

BLAIR MILLIONS
OUT Of COURT
AFTER 8 YEARS
Executors Discharge Ordered
and Steps Taken to Settle
Estate Approved.

ice-chancellor Emery today dis
charged the executor of the John L.
Blair estate. valued at $50. 600, 900 to
500, 000, 900, and approved the steps he
"a taken in winding up the affairs
of the estate.
The five grandchildren of the testa-
tor We're paid $500, 900 each in cash and
securities, among the securities being
100 shares of Lackawanna Railroad
stock to each heir.
The heirs, Isabella Scribner, Fitz-
hugh, Charles Scribner, Arthur II.
Scribner, Clarence Blair Mitchell and
Emma Seribner Larned, were repre-
Scented by Richard V. Lindabury. who
said that he was entirely satisfied with
the final adjustment of the matter,
in so far as his clients were concerned.
The bulk of the vast estate goes to
the executor, Dewitt c. Blair, son of
the testator. Just what it represents,
in dollars and cents, has been a matter
of much conjecture during the long
litigation.
The estate has been valued at from
$780, 900, 900 to 500. GOO. 900. A conserva-
tive estimate places it at $5O,0Oo,0 900.
John L. Blair. of Blairstown, whose
estate was finally disposed of today,
died in December. 1899 Five trusts
were named in his will for his five
grandchildren. 1t was found, however,
that many of the stocks specified as
being included in the trusts had been
sold.
The grandchildren brought suit to
compel the executor to replace these
shares with others not specified, to
make the requests the same amount
as that named in the will.
After having been in the courts for
over eight years, during which time
it had been referred back to Chancery
Court by the Court of Errors and APP
peals, the case was finally decided in
favor of the heirs.

NEW YORK, March Andrew Car
negie, befriended many years ago by
the father of the wife of Henry Sanger

the New York and New Jersey Tele-
phone Company, has come to h relief
of the woman whose husband is

aine ~ironmaster, was a boy struggling
to make his way in Pennsylvania, Mrs.
Shows father, David Brooks, who was
q Baltimore banker and rich manufac-
turer, assisted him in his ambition to
climb prosperity's ladder. That An
drew Carnegie never forgot this kind
ness was shown when it became known
yesterday that he had deposited the
snug sum above mentioned to the
credit of the daughter of his old-time
friend, who is still living at her old
home in Brooklyn, although a ITO let
sign has been placed at the entrance
since Shows flight, which left his wife
without money.
Before Snow disappeared 1t was as
serted that he had obtained possession
of $40, 900 his wife was said to have
possessed, and used 1t in a futile effort
to save himself by speculation In
