DR.. Bertillon, the eminent French

berculosis is twice as prevalent among
the retail liquor dealers of France as
among other shopkeepers. He attrib-
utes 1t to the fact that the alcohol
which they handle and use all day

renders them more susceptible to the

AGAlNr SAYS iGNATZ.
RUBBING HIS SORE HEAD.
Decides He's a Poor Sport-Sa=
loon Man Gets a Shock.

It's poor policy to play cards with
only a quarter of a dollar. Ignatz Nit
krs, of "a Elm street, found this out in
the Third Precinct Police Court today,
and at the same time he shows a break
in his head where he had been hit with
a rubber hose, he says, by Michael Bur-
guzevirez, . saloon-keeper of 10 Ferry
street.
Nitkus entered the saloon and sug-
gested to the owner that they play a
game of 66. He had but % cents and
thought that he would like several free
drinks. He had solne luck to start
things Will and managed to win the
first three games, but before he real
lied what was doing he had lost four
games. But this did not discourage
him n he demanded satisfaction and
lost several more. The time of settle
ment was hard, however, and the %
cents was not enough to settle.
Then the saloon-man took a piece of
rubber hose from behind the bar and
went after Nitkus, who had started for
the street. He hit him on the head,
and for that one blow paid $40 in court.

WESTERVELT'S LAWYER
ENTERS OBJECTIONS,

HACKENSACK, July 20.-William
Ely Westervelt, the contracting mason
of Teaneck, who on the night of June
is shot and instantly killed his wife
in their home, was arraigned before
Supreme Court Justice Parker by As
sistant Prosecutor Mackay 1t Hack
cnsack yesterday. i.
Before Westeryelt entered his plea of
not guilty his counsel. former Prose
cutor p. w. Stage, asked that the in
dictment be quashed on the grounds
that the Grand Jury that found the in
dictment was not properly drawn, hav-
ing once been dismissed and then re-
called for this special case, and because
the word "premeditatedly" was used
unnecessarily.
Justice Parker said the Supreme
Court would meet at an early date and
then consider the subjections. It is
hoped to place Westervelt on trial dur
ing the second week in September.

SEE BIG JUMP IN
C|TYS PROGRESS
Prominent Men Say New Tubes
Mean More Than Some
People Think.

Prominent men of this city see big
things for Newark and vicinity in the
opening of the new McAdoo tubes yes
terday. This is what some of them
say:
Mayor JACOB Faussling said: THE
opening of the new tunnels means a
wonderful industrial growth for New
ark. 1t means a big increase in popula-
ton. 1t means a Greater Newark in the
fullest sense of the term. Newark is
destined to be one of the greatest con-
tres in the country
Frank J. Book said: There is no
question that the benefits to Newark
and Essex County will be tremendous.
While the benefit is already here, the
real big benefit will come when the
nigh speed lines will be in operation.
Then there will be a boom for Newark
that We cannot even estimate today.
For the past several weeks from TWEEN
ty to fifty people weekly have come
to my Office looking for homes. They
are from Manhattan, the Bronx, Brook
1yn and Long Island. All realize that
Newark and Essex County offer eX-
eeptional advantages. Newark is prov
ing q revelation to New Workers. Most
of them never saw it until recently.
The only idea they got of it vas going
through on a train. Now they are
coming here in droves and looking over
the town. And they form a very diff
ferent opinion. They are surprised at
the low price of homes. They can get
in Newark today homes for 5000 to
$4,000 which would cost them $4,000 TO
$4,000 on Long Island. To my mind
Newark is assured of d finer future
than any other city in the country
George f. Reeve. president of the
Board of Trade. said: THE opening of
the new tubes under the river is one
of the greatest vents of the age. 1t
will be of great benefit to the entire
state, but more particularly to Newark,
Essex County and the northern section
of the State. ! am a great enthusiast
on the tunnels and the future of New
ark. 1T will bring thousands of home
seekers to Newark, The outskirts al
ready have felt the boom. When we
finally get a direct route by the high
speed lines Newark will grow as she
never did before"
DR.. William Buermann, president Of
the Clinton Hill Improvement Associa-
ton. said: There is no question that
Newark will be wonderfully benefited
by the tunnels. This is true particular
ly of the residential section. What we
want to do now is to arrange our local
transportation facilities. The same
must be done in Manhattan. When
this work of connection in both cities
is accomplished / look for a growth of
Newark that will surprise even the
most optimistic"

CAR STRIKE
IS QU|ET|NG DOWN
That Settlement Will
Soon Be Effected at PENN
sylvania Plants.

PITTSBURG, July 20.-The strike Sit
uation at both the Pressed Steel Car
Company's plant at McKee's Rocks and
the Standard Steel Car plant at Butler
is quiet today. AT the McKee's Rocks
plant it is reported that several addi-
tlonal men have returned to work.
Among the men said to have gone to

ployees, who are wiring the new Hud-
son river tunnel cars. 1t is said that
they have only six more cars to wire

The strikers held another large meet
ing this morning for the purpose of eff
fecting a permanent union organiza-
ton.
AT the Standard Steel Car plant at
Butler it is stated that a settlement
may be effected soon. During the day
Wr1ts of habeas corpus for the release
or the prisoners arrested there will be
argued before Judge Balbreath.
The strikers at the Standard plant
held a meeting two miles from Lyndorf
this morning, at which they ratified a
plan to return to work for the former
scale of wages providing the company
would reduce the rate of back rent pay
ments from 20 to 10 per cent. Accord
ing to the strikers the company
charged them rent for their dwellings
during the several months the plant
was closed down.
Concerning the reducing of the rate
of arrearages Attorney w. D. Brandon.
for the company, declared. later that
this would be amicably settled and tina
the strikers could prepare to carry out

As RICHARD GLIDER
SAW CLEVELAND
Poet to Print "a Record of
Friendship" Relating to
Late President.

In the midsummer holiday number of
fhe Century Magazine there will be be-
grn a series of papers in appreciation
OF Grover Cleveland from the view
point of the intimate friend Richard
Watson Glider. The title. as shown by
the advance sheets, is self-explanatory
-'sGrover Cleveland; a Record of
Friendship
THE record is based on the reminis-
eenses and diary entries of many de-
lightful days spent in Washington and
New York, in a rowboat at some Sc
Guided fishing place with a statesman
whose Singular union of quiet self
confidence with unpretentiousness and
even self-depreeiation it would not oe
easy to ~exaggerate."
On one occasion Nj. Cleveland told
how ne deplored the general extrara-
gance and called attention TO the fact
that men were no longer content with
even forty thousand a year. In De-
cember. 1883. after his defeat by Harri-
son he devoted a large part of one
conversation to a review of his our
years in the White House. and said that
from the outset he had been obliged 10
resist appeals to do things for personal
friends.
His tone writes Mr.. Glider, was
that of a man who had conscientiously
done his very best = but X
pecting that the criticism of even his
supporters would confuse the record"
Mr.. Cleveland's aloofness from ma
chine politicians during the four-year
interval between his two terms as
President is particularly commented
upon by his friend. who asserts that
Cleveland was never more elated than
IN February. 1891, when "he had thrown
the presidency out of the window by
his famous anti-free silver letter to the
Reform Club. Mr.. Cleveland's happi-
ress in thus showing that he was not
waiting round for a third nomination.
(which he got) is compared with his
satisfaction in the tariff reform mes
sage which he sent to Congress, despite
the advice of his personal friends, be-
cause he thought it was the honest
thing to say to the country.
Mr.. elders first paper concludes
Msth the following personal touch:
There was a 'Children's Hour at the
White House during his second term.
when. in the twilight, a little child
would be brought into the executive
Office and the work of the government
would be suspended and much ink
would be layished while two big hands
would help two small ones in making
pictures upon sheets of paper spread
out upon the Presidents desk"

BURLINGTON JURY
HOLDS BOY SLAYER
Little Joe" Kane, Who Killed
Baby Girl, May Have to
Answer Murder Charge.
Especial to the Newark Star.

BURLINGTON, July 20.-A %coroner's
jury at noon today held little Joe"
Kane for the staying of 4-year-old
Frances Lord with a shotgun at the
home eff the children, in West Burling-
ton, last Saturday night. Kane was i'm
mediately committed to the county jail
without ball by Coroner Herman Bis
bling, and he will go before the grand
jury as the first boy murderer in the
history of Burlington county.
The verdict was reached after more
than an hours deliberation. Young
Kane had confessed to the shooting last
night and again corroborated his state
ment at the eoroner's inquest this
morning, so that the only question at
issue was whether he was eriminally
liable.
The verdict was largely based on a
bit of testimony given by Tom Ocas, II
years cid. whom Kane had accused of
the crime. Ocas told the story in a
dozen words in Polish. which were in
terpreted. Il shoot you. | shoot you
Joe said thai then Frances cried n he
shot.
Unconscious of the enormity Of the
charge against him, Kane sat twisting
his cap when the verdict was read. The
jury censured Joe's parents for ! aying
a loaded gun in the house.
Prosecutor Atkinson declared this
afternoon that the usual process of law
must be gone through with, the same
as with an adult defendant, and that
he will lao ~ TO - ~ ti1o chavez of
murder in the second degree or a
