COMMISSIONER WEBER
SIGNS FIREMEN'S PAY ROLL.
Injury to President Burke's
Hand Makes Proxy Necessary.

Owing 10 an injury that he sustained
to his right hand several weeks ago,
President Il. E. Burke. of the Fire
Board, found it impossible to sign the
payroll of the department, SO a resolu-
ton was adopted granting that power
to Commissioner William A. Weber.
The commissioners signature was also
attached to the order granting Fireman
Benjamin Fuss, Of Truck Company No
6. a three-day leave of absence, COM
mencing December 2S, when he will
join the ranks of bendicts In the de-
partmcnt.
The board advertised for bids for an
operating table for horses, but so far
has not received any. The cost of such
an article Is estimated to be about $500,
and as the law prohibits the expendi-
ture of that sum for anything, unless
bids are solicited, the law department
will be asked to render a solution Of the
difficulty.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLUB
HEARS FORDHAM PROFESSOR
DR.. Walsh Delivers interesting
Lecture.

DIR. James j. Walsh, dean Of the med
ical college at Fordham University,
was the speaker at the meeting of the
Domestic Science Club, in Iroquois Hall,
Washington street, last night. His
topic was "The Relation of the Mental
State to Food Digestion"
DR.. Walsh disagreed with those who
declared that people should eat only
when hungry. He said that nervous,
thin people should eat regularly, will
irg'' themselves to enjoy their food;
that if they did this they would soon
gain in weight. He said that indiges-
ton was often due to lack OF vital
energy, which could be increased by
long periods OF sleep.
The doctor cited some interesting ex-
periments made under the X-ray to
show how anger retards digestion
"Odor and tho association of ideas also
play a large part in the digestion OF
food" he said.
The doctor attributed most Of the in
| ability TO eat certain foods purely to
imagination, saying that often indis-
Greet mixing of food caused trouble
rather than any II article of food
itself.

Because OF the illness of the COM
planning witness, James NJ. Finley, who
was indicted 10y the grand jury on a
charge of assault and battery, was
granted a nolle prosequi in the Court
of Sessions today. Mrs. Isabella Post

SAY PREvENT0R|UM
FIGHT WILL GO TO
HIGHEST COURTS
Both Sides in Lakewood C0ntrOs
versy Are Prepared to Carry
Case to Extreme Limit.

LAKEWOOD, Dec. 2.-Following n
hearing yesterday, DIR. Sherburn Wheel
wright, superintendent of the proven
torium at the old Grover Cleveland cot
tage here. is today held In $4,000 bail
to await the action of the Ocean
ty grand jury, on a charge of violation
of the statute of 1907 prohibiting the
bringing into the State of New Jersey
dependent children of unsound body or
mind. DIR. Wheelwright was arrested
on November %.
The hearing yesterday was held at
the Lyric Theatre, which was crowded
to the doors. Justice John ]. Cowan
known counsel appeared for both sides,
the feeling being that the case would
be carried to the highest courts OF the
State for a decision. Former Assembly
man A. S. Alexander. who appeared
as chief counsel for the accused ply
sician, framed the statute which DR..
Wheelwright is accused of violating.
Marcus Marks, of New York, presi-
dent OF the preventoriunl, denied the
charges. but would not state whether
or not they had obtained the necessary
permits for The bringing Of children into
the State. Leslie r. Fort, private sec
rotary to Governor Fort, submitted a
sworn statement to the effect that the
preventorium had been conducted by
the New York philanthropists without
authority from the proper officials.
Aaron Il. Johnston, OF Asbury Park.
and Ten Brock Stout. of Lakewood.
represented the residents OF Lakewood
in the proceedings.

discharge from that institution. The
other is the signature of "Boto Baron
Won Koenitz" on a contract signed on
May IA OF this year.
A question has arisen in the case as
to whether there are any grounds for a
criminal action against the man. AS
sistant District Attorney Robert Taylor,
of New York, in whose hands the case
has been placed, is of the opinion that
there is no law in New York that would
warrant such an action being brought.
The fact tina Won Koenitz posed as a
member Of the nobility, and, concealing
his real past, married Miss Even. Is
not, he believes, sufficient. He said to-
day that there was a possibility Of there
being q federal statute which would
cover the case, and that he would APP
proach the matter from that side.
The Rev. Walter E. Bentley, pastor
OF the Church of the Ascension, Brook
Ign, a friend of the Even family. Is
making an investigation of the baron's
career. He and other friends of the
family cannot understand how, II the
baron had recently made $100,00 by the
sale of mining land in Mexico. 1t was
necessary for his wife 10 mortgage her
house. Mr.. Bentley said that already
his Investigations had brought to light
several interesting episodes In the life
OF Won Koenitz, and that he intended
to pursue his search until he learned
more. IA
my interest In the case is that of a
friend of the family" he said. These
old ladies' have no father or brotherto
protect them. They are guilible, ,tnd
| ought TO have some one to guard them
against enemies. My interest is only
that OF any man who wants to sec
justice and air play"
A letter has been received by 'ir.
Bentley from the German consul In
New York. The writer states that he
does not know of any Baron Won
koenitz.
