COURT HOLDS UP SALE

Henry Dickson, Judgment Cred
ifor, Wants to Get at
George Wards interests.

Vice-C Chancellor Howell this morning
signed ar order directing the Freehold
Banking Company to show cause on
March 10 why the sale of the Ward
farm of ninety eight acres, in Mon
mouth County, should not be re-
strained. The order was signed on APP

Lena Polpu had the distinction of be-

Ten Eyck in the Court of Quarter SEES
sions. She admitted her guilt today,
and she was released on $500 bail, fur
nished by Pasquale Serritelli, of 3O6
Miller street. for sentence next Mon

Other ~retractions made today were
those of Edward Purdy and Stephen
O'Neil, charged with breaking, entering.
larceny and receiving, and they pleaded
guilty to entering. William F. Dittig,
a Nutley grocer, made the complaint
against them to the effect hat they
stole $9.0S worth Of goods November IS

Law Would Halt Experiment, He
Says, That Has About Dis
covered Pneumonia Cure.

1T the a~nti-vivisection law now be-
fore the Legislature, should be passed
there would be no further use for the
Rockefeller experimental farm at Som
ervilIe," said DR.. Edward j. Ill today
to a reporter of THE EVENING STAR.
"There are now cats and dogs at this
farm whose .stomac1s were removed
two years ago. They are not only alive
but there is no noticeable change in
them. .
physicians have recently succeeded
by ~vivIsection, in making discoveries
which will probably lead TO the cure OF
pneumonia. Rabbits, which are very
susceptible to the disease, were the
subjects of the experiments. Live,
healthy hares were ~inoculated with the
disease. Possibly some of the Dummies
died, but some of them were saved by
the experiment and the method OF
treatment.
THE fact that a cure for pneumonia
among the rabbit family has been dis
covered gives hope that the same
remedy will apply to men.
Another advance, in the science Can
be seen at the Rockefeller farm, where
there are animals in whose bodies there
are blood vessels which have been
taken from other animals. In other
words, blood vessels have at last been
transferred from one animal to an
other.
"These experiments are not made at
the farm, but are. made by physicians
at colleges and universities and indie
pendent experimenting physicians In
New York and elsewhere. At the farm
the animals are cared for under nat
ural conditions.
Now. if the present bill is made
law, it will be Illegal to care for these
animals at the farm. or, indeed, &c
allow them to live after vivisection
The bill is a vicious one and should be
KILLED."

POLITICS DIDN'T
FIGURE At TABLE,
SAYS GOV. FORT
Dined with Anti-Taft Men, but
1t Had No Significance,
He Declares.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-At a dinner
given In honor of Vice-President Fair
banks by Colonel William Barbour last
night were Governor Fort. former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy and members
of the Republican National Committee
from New Jersey, Senator Kean and
former Attorney-Genera Griggs.
New York was represented by a score
of prominent bankers.
That the dinner had II political
significance was denied today by Gov
ernor Fort, who spoke of it as a purely
personal affair. Naturally the Coy
ernor's presence at a gathering which
could hardly be regarded as friendly to
Secretary Taft, provoked some gossip
among some politicians. who were dis
posed to view the affair as an adjunct
to the Fairbanks boom.
It is said thai before the guests de-
parted Mr.. Fort was toasted as a
future Vice-President of the United
States" but even this was "only COM
plimentary."
Governor Fort remarked that he and
Colonel Barbour have been friends of
long standing, and was particular IN
wishing it understood that there was
nothing significant in the gathering of
anti-Taft men.

PAYING $50 FINE
"Times Too Hard" Says Saloon
keeper, Caught in Gard.
Game Raid.

WHILE WIFE RUNS PLACE
Witness Swears Life Was
Threatened When He Tried
to Quit Playing.

Because business was bad Joseph
Guarano preferred to go to Jail rather
than pay a fine of $50 in the Second
Precinct Court today, although he had
500 in his hand at the time.
Guarano, who runs a saloon at 40
Cutler street, was convicted of keeping
a d~isorderly house on Monday night,
when care games for money were
played by some of his patrons. Guarano
was arrested last night or a complaint
made by Captain Brown, and, rather
than spend a night in Jail, he put up
500 as security for his appearance in
court. When the case was tried
.Guarano's brother James, Nicola Lario,
Valentino Sturchio and Guerino Ma
polino all acknowledged playing a
game of cards called ''siconnette" for
money.
Guarapo said it would be cheaper for
him to go to Jail. and his wife could
run the saloon meanwhile.
One of the witnesses testified that
when he tried to quit the game his life
was threatened.
All of the witnesses were fined SO
each. They paid.
