hospital, but they were always ignored
DR.. Dill cannot be suspended legally
at the meeting of the fr~eeholders to-
day. according to an opinion given to
County Supervisor Fred L. Baldwin by
County Counsel Joseph l.. Mum, and
%concurred in by those of the board
who are yersed in legal lore,
THE act creating the Board of Free
holders" said Mr.. Baldwin today, PRO
vides that the office of superintendent
of the Overlook Asylum can only be
removed after charges are preferred
against him. Such charges come to the
supervisor, who can then take action
if he sees fit. Until such charges are
preferred the supervisor is powerless to
remove the superintendent.
There is 20 question but what q
change will be made in the superintend-
ency at Overlook in the near future.
But charges cannot be made until the
investigation now under way by the
hospital committee of the freeholders
has been completed and g report made
to the board"
This view is also taken by Freebooter
Theodore d. Gottleib, who is secretary
of the hospital committee and who has
been active in the investigation of the
system of keeping records at Overlook
from the time of the discovery of the
skeleton in the garnet at the South Or
ange avenue institution several weeks
ago.

JERSEY HIT BY TAIL OF
BIG WESTERN STORM.
Sudden Cold Snap Forces Mer-
curry Below Freezing Mark.

A sudden cold snap which at its cold
est forced the mercurydown TO the 10 de-
gree mark, and which is now lowering at
about rs degrees, settled down over New
ark and vicinity yesterday afternoon
ana. is still in evidence, with promise of
continuing for some time. Yesterdays
average temperature was 301s degrees.
At noon yesterday it was fairly warm,
the thermometer showing A degrees. A
sudden drop brought the temperature
to q degrees by Z o'clock. Between that
time and Z o'clock today the tempera-
ture still continued to drop, reaching it's
lowest point at sunrise, when it regis
tered 10 degrees.
The reason assigned for the spell of
cold weather by the local weather man,
Profes-dr William Wiener, of the High
School, is that Western storms, which.
according to- usual Indications, should
have hit this part of the country about
now, have veered off into northern New
York State, leaving only their tempera-
ture behind to indicate their visit. Pro-
fessor Wiener says hat several recent
Western storms travelling straight for
New Jersey lave apparently been
frightened at the Allegheny range Of
mountains, and turning tail in central
Pennsylvania ave run UP to Canada.

the two families occurred, when the
eldest daughter of the late Rev. John
B. Wardlaw married the late Captain
Fletcher r.. Snead, a Confederate vet

than a quarter of a century, from 1855

the wild bear WIS harmless as he tug

stake. 1t was great sport for the
shooting society members as they pep
pered Bruin in the jungle surround
ings.
The occasion was the annual target
excursion of the society. In former
years shooting at a target was con-
sidered exciting enough for the mem
bers, many of whom are crack shots.
This year, however, it was decided TO
shoot a real live bear. When the sub

meek disposition. With L acclaim
the members said nay; h a the bear
must be ferocious and untamed, of the
species that one Bwana Tumbo likes to
meet face to face.
Accordingly one of the members Jour
neyed to Jersey City n in a zoo there
bought a bear that was guaranteed
perfectly ferocious and thoroughly UNI
tanned" The bear had given so much
trouble in Jersey City trying to eat
up the keepers that the owner had de-
cided to kill it himself when the Sew
enty Society emissary came along and
took Bruin off his hands.
The bear was brought to this city q
few days ago, and laden with chains
that resembled steel cables, housed in

SWEAR COOKS NORTH POLE
RECORDS WERE FALSIFIED.
York Men Say They We're
Hired to Prepare Data.

NEW TORIN, Dec. "A New York
newspaper today prints sworn affidavits
signed by August w. Loose, a pilot and
navigator, and George H. Dunkle, an
insurance broker, that DR.. Frederick A..
Cook promised them s4,0 900 for their aid
in preparing the polar records of his
journey, which are now in the hands
of the University of Copenhagen. The
paper also reproduces VIA purports to
be the fac-simile of a pencilled memo
randum, directing the preparation of
observations all the way from Svarte-
vaag to teh pole.
Loose and Dunkle freely acknowledge
that their motive in making these sfli-
davits is the alleged. failure to pay
them the full sum said to have been
promised.
The article. further adds that it is
impossible as yet to say that the OBJ
servations calculated by Captain Loose,
and which he alleges he supplied to DR..
Cook, are those actually delivered by
his secretary. Mr.. Lonsdale, to the Uni
versity of Copenhagen. To establish
this point it would be necessary to
compare Captain Loose's narrative
with the report received by the uni
versity.
