What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer>s
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fu1flls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold bydrug-
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

COFFEE KING DIES
A BUNGLING DRUG
CLERKS VICTIM
AtrOphine, Sent by Mistake,
Costs Life of Millionaire
Who Fled Plague.

NEW YORK, May 19-Fleeing from
pague-strieken Venezuela, Eduardo de
Erase, coffee planter and reputed
multi millionaire, came to his death in
a fashionable New York hotel early to-
day through taking what he believed
to be a harmless medicine. His wife,
who also took some of the medicine, is
in a serious condition. and the remain
der of the party of wealthy refugees is
without a directing head.
1t is alleged that drug clerk, who
prepared the medicine for De Erase,
made an error in compounding the
drugs,
De Erase, his wife. their two chill
dren and a party of friends reached
New York a week ago. De Erase felt
i'll and sent out TO have Il prescription
for a tonic compounded at a nearby
drugstore. Upon the return of the mes
senger he took potion of the medi-
cine and Mrs. De Erase took about half
the quantity. Both We're taken vio-
lently i'll. De Erase lived only few
minutes, and for long time the con-
dition of Mrs. De Erase was serious.
An investigation by the coroners
Office showed that the prescription
called for asperteina. At the drugstore
where it was compounded the bottles
containing asperteina and atrophine are
kept side by side. 1t is believed that
the clerk got the wrong bottle and used
atrophine instead of asperteina in fill
ing the prescription.

tBy Long Distance Telephone From a staff
Correspondent
FREEHOLD, May 19.--Belief now ex-
lists that Frank Zastera, the boyish
farmland and former art student, was
impelled by a stronger personality than
his own to commit his triple crime at
the Shepherd SQUAD farm near Mata-
wan. Positive proof has been estab-
lished by the county prosecutors office
that Joseph Huron, the Polish farm
hand discharged by Shepherd a few
days before Shepherd was slain, was d
hypnotist, practised the art, and that
of a fortune-teller.
Zastera, after another gruelng third
degree" examination between the hours
of o'clock and daybreak today,
confessed that he had been ordered in
"a dream ON the night previous to the
triple tragedy to kill the Shepherds and
Jennie Bende.
Midnight Visit to Scene.
Zastera's third confession occurred
after he had spent the hours after mid
night in company with Assistant Coun-
ty Prosecutor Stokes and Detectives
Cosgroye and Clafiin at the scene of his
crimes.
81 killed them because L was ordered
to do so in a dream" said Zastera.
after he had undergone another search
ing examination. Il dreamed during
the night that a Polish man named
Huron ordered me to kill the Shepherds
and the servant girl"
Assistant County Prosecutor Stokes
said to an EVENING STAR represen-
tative today that zastera had acted
since his arrest as If he were under the
mental domination of a stronger per-
sonality.
I'VE have been unable to apprehend
Joe Huron, the fortune-teller, who was
formerly employed by Mr.. Shepherd as
a Farmland" said Mr.. Stokes. 1--WE
understand that Huron was hypnotist
and was able to bring Others under his
mental domination by telepnthIc sug-
gestioB. Certainly Zastera's explana-
tion of his crime bears out the theory
that he was bound by q more powerful
mental influence than his own
Following the announcement by the
public prosecutor of Monmouth County
that Zastera had made a confession,
the prisoners father, Anton Zastera,
came down from New York and had
talk with him. The youth is said TO
have repeated to his father the story
he told the detectives OF killing the
Shepherds and their servant. Mr..
Zastera, however, refuses to credit his
sons confession.
He says the boys mind has been
weak since 1907. when he insisted that
he was suffering from hydrOphobia,
and was treated with the prescribed
serum for the prevention of tho mall
ady. Mr.. zastera says he will employ
counsel to see that the rights of his
son. which he thinks have been dis
regarded, will hereafter be protected.
Formal charge of murder has been en-
tered against Zastera. The charge was
made before a local Justice of the
peace by County Detective Charles E.
Strong. Zastera was not called 20

arraigned until after the inquest On

Wants TO Appoint Prince and
WakeIee-Advises with
Attorney=General.
JESS AND GARDNER COLBY
ON CIVIL SERVICE BOARD
Former Speaker Made Chief Ex-
anliner and the Latter Sec
retary to Commission.
IFrom a staff Correspondent

TRENTON, May 19.--Governor Fort
called Attorney General McCarter in
conference today to sec IL it wasn't
possible to appoint some of the MEM
bers of this years Legislature ON COM
missions they voted to create Two
weeks ago McCarter held that none of
them could be appointed under the con-
stitution.
The Governor is somewhat of a
lawyer himself, having been on the
bench Tor a decade. and he feels that
there would be no objection to naming
some of the assemblymen to commits
sions they favored where there is no
compensation provided.
The new Civil Service Commission
organized in the Governors office at
noon and selected Gardner Colby, of
East Orange, as secretary and Speaker
Frank b. Jess of the 1908 House of
Assembly, chief examiner Colby will
receive $4,000 year and Jess $4,000
Both were favored by Fort
There was a hitch over Colby's ap-
pointment, but after a conference with
the Governor he was finally chosen
Colby was for two years president of
the Essex County Republican League
for Equal Taxation and Limited Fran
chises, and is an out-and-out anti
machine man.
Colonel James r, Mullikin of Newark
was in his place as Civil Service com
missioner and designated as ridiculous
the report that he had turned down the
appointment.
Opposition to the selection of a com
mission TO investigate excise affairs in
New Jersey was very strongly mani
tested today. Governor Fort, after a
morning of conferences, said he would
announce no appointments until Fri
day. unless he heard from Attorney
General McCarter this afternoon.
If McCarter can find a way to per-
init appointment of Assemblyman
Prince as head of the commission on
causes of dependency and crime, and
Senator WalSelee on a bridge commits
sion, there will be announcement be-
fore night.

COURT CHARGES
NEW GRAND JURY
AGAINST LEAKS
Judge Ten Eyck Lays Stress
Upon the Necessity for
Strict Secrecy.
TO SIT THREE DAYS or
SEVEN FOR SIX WEEKS
Predecessors Finished Up More
important Cases-Dr. D'AmicO
Is Excused.

With one of the shortest charges ever
delivered by Judge in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer to a new grand
Jury. Judge Ten Eyck today had sworn
before him the second April grand
Jury. The necessity of keeping secret
the deliberations of the jurors was the
sole theme of his charge.
The .ors, headed by their foreman,
George u. Reeve, of this city, filed into
court about half an hour after the
regular time of its opening, and as DR..
Antonio D'Amico's absence was eX-
cused because he was out of town, the
twenty-tllree that appeared put their
hands upon the Bibles presented to them,
and County Clerk John b. Woolston
administered the customary oath that
bound them not to present anybody be-
cause of ''hatred, envy or malice but
10 act strictly in accordance with the
evidence presented.
The Courts Charge.
This is what the judge said to them
in the space of less than three min
Htes:
THE grand jurors sworn to serve at
xhe opening of the present term have
disposed OF all the important matters
pending in these courts, and there now
remain no cases Of public Importance.
I'm counties of this size there are al
ways cases OF Importance that are
coming up but / know of none at pres
ept to which l can call your attention.
'The prosecutor of the pleas will be
at your service at any time that you
care to call upon him for instruction in
legal matters and the court will always
be glad to give TO you any advice that
may be asked for along the lines OF
your duties
"There is but one thing, gentlemen Of
the grand jury, that will speak to you
especially about 1t is the Importance
of Keeping secret your councils. This is
a matter of great Importance as other
wise, if secrecy is not maintained, the
ends of justice may be defeated.
There is only one way that important
crimes may be punished and that is
through Indictment by the grand jury.
and it is one Of the essentials in secur-
ing such punishment that the proceed
ings of the grand jury be kept secret"
Will serve for Six Weeks.
Before The Jurors retired the fore
man announced that Constables Harry
Rawnsley and Frank Wallace would be
in charge of the doors of their room.
The jury will probably serve for six
weeks and will meet on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday afternoons Of
each week.
