LONDON, Jan. 16.-The control that
the so-called. American meat trust
gradually has been acquiring over the

NEW YORK, Ian. 16.-The dispute
between Police Commissioner Bingham

out of the disciplining by the former

That portion of the district attor-

General Bingham was being deceived
by those who surrounded him, and that
he would never make a success of the

was predicted the commissioner would
make a hot rejoinder.
Mr.. Jerome's reflections on the po-
lice caused a decided stir throughout
the city. He declared that the depart

CLAIMS TITLE DEFECTIVE.
Agenses Sue Koch for Failure to Keep
Contract.


Tediously drawn out is the suit Of the
Agens brothers, Frederick G. and Syl-
vester H. M, which began Tuesday MORN
ing in Vice-Chancellor Emery's court and
continued over until today. TIL suit is
brought against Julius Koch. a local jew
elry manufacturer, to compel the latter TO
live up to his agreement made a year ago
for the purchase OF property owned by the
Agenses.
The land in question is located on North
Broad street, north OF Clay street.
Alfred +. Skinner, counsel for the plain
tiffs, demanded judgment on the ground
that a $500 deposit toward the purchase
price OF the land, so, 600, had bound the
contracting parties on both sides, while
the defendant through his counsel, Frank
r.. Bradner, claimed the title to the prop
erty was defective, as 1t was the site Of
q dedicated street, known and described
on old maps as Pyatt street, and demanded
a return or the 500.
Title to the property was to have been
taken by Koch on October Is, 1906. 1t was
his intention to build a garage, but Upon
discovering the alleged defect in the title
he made the first demand for a return
of the deposit and being refused started
suit in the Circuit Court. An injunction
was then served upon him by the Agenses
and the present suit resulted.

Chinese Have No Use for Surgeon

Chinese Have No Use TOT surgeons
1t may occur to many people that they
have never seen & Chinaman bereft Of an
arm, leg or other member of his body,
The reason for this is that all Orientals
maintain a profound objection TO surgical
operations. Indeed, they much prefer TO
die rather than to be deprived OF a mem
Der, because as it. is undeniable that they
came into the world with two arms, two
legs, eight fingers, two thumbs, ETC., they
must OF necessity so out of it with the
same number. Otherwise, once on the
other side, they might be sent to hunt for
a missing member and spend the greater
part of eternity in finding it.
Perhaps the nearest approach to internal
surgery that a Chinese doctor will at
tempt Is TO stand on the patients body
and with bare feet move about on the part
afflicted.
In dentistry the Chinese have reached the
discovery that the nerve is a worm and
the best method TO treat an aching tooth
is to loosen 1t by driving in wedges In or
der that the worm may escape.-Chicago
