Rolls which we're to be used at the
breakfast in the home of the Rev.
Frederick E. Voegelin, All Fourteenth
avenue. Irvington, were found to have
been poisoned and today the police of
that town are bestlrring themselves in
an effort to get at the bottom of the
mystery.
The 1rvington police have under sus-
pioion man for whom they say the
minister has done a great deal. This
mans name was given to the police.
According to the story told by the po-
lice, this man some time ago was sep
arated from his wife and he asked the
minister to use his influence to get his
wife to live with him again. This the
clergyman did. and the couple became
reconciled.
Later the wife again left this man,
the police say and he asked the clergy
man to bring them together again
Whether the clergyman did anything or
not is not known, but it is known that
the couple remained apart and the hIs-
band blamed the clergyman.
The police say that last fall he was
in the neighborhood of the clergymans g
home with gun and threatened to kill
him.
Mr.. yoegelin is pastor Of the Man
haitian Park German Presbyterian
Church. Yesterday morning, as has
been his custom. his wife went to the
rear stoop and brought In the rolls

placed on the table the minister noticed
that they were covered with a whitish
substance.

ported to have said. ut lis flour" The
minister gave the rolls further ex-
animation, and then his wife agreed
with him that there was some foreign
substance.
Together they brought the rolls TO

PATERSON LAND
COMPANY WINS
IN WATER FIGHT
Newark, Jersey City and Cor
poratiOn Must Answer Suits
for $4,000.

By an opinion handed down today by
Vice. Stevens, Newark, Jer-
sey City and the East Jersey Water
Company will be compelled to put in a
defense to the three suits instituted by
the Chestnut Fiji Land Company. of
Paterson, for $4,000 damages done to its
property by the diversion of waters of
the Passaic river by the defendants
twenty-five miles above the property in
question.
Three reasons were urged by the de-
fendants in an effort to get an injunc-
tion restraining the prosecution of the
suits in the Passaic County Court and
to get the issues tried in the Chancery
Court, viz: Avoidance of a multi
plicity of suits; because of the complex
ity OF the problems involved. and on
the grounds of laches. which means
long acquiescence.
In his opinion, the court says II
do not think any of these grounds
tenable. AS to the first, the obvious
answer is: that Newark or Jersey
city may at any time institute proceed
.ings to condemn aud that will prevent
such actions. AS to the second. COM
pleSity is no ground per Sc, of equit-
able jurisdiction The third reason
urges interference because of long ac-
quiescence. This is not a defense to an
action at law

Rare Judgment.

A policeman, % years old, who he's

DOG BELIEVED TO
Be MAD ATTACKS
TWO SMALL BOYS
Youngsters Are Hurried TO Hos
pital, Where Pasteur Treat
ment Is Applied.

Two boys, bitten within half an hour
by dog. believed to have been the
same in each case, are under close OBJ
| servation by the doctors in the Pasteur
| treatment department of the City Hos
pital. The boys. who are John Riker, Is
years old. of 43S Bank street, and George
Friary, II years old, of 122 Camden
street, We're unable to give enough de-
tails in the description of the dog to
enable the doctors to determine whether
the dog may have been rabid, but each
described the animal as a black and
white bulldog, of medium size. Riker
was bitten in the left arm and the
F'riary boy I'M the little finger of his left
hand.
Riker was the first victim of the dog.
He saw 1t on the streets, and taking
pity on it's apparently starved condi-
tion, persuaded his mother to allow him
to feed it in the back yard of their
home. After the dog had been fed,
Riker began playing with it in Camden
street. Within a few minutes the dog
seized the boys arm in his teeth, in
l1ictng a bite which. while 1t did not
tear the flesh, penetrated the skin. The
boy was rushed Immediately to the
hospital.
George Friary was bitten while TAX
ing washing home for his mother in
the company OF his small sister Mar
garet.
According to the boys story, rope
was dragging behind the wagon on
which the wash was resting. The dog
pulling at the rope, snapped at the
boy when he attempted to pull the rope
in the wagon.

CAR SERVICE IS
RESTORED UNDER
'HUSsARS'' GUARD
Tracks Are Cleared and Lines
Blocked Since Saturday
Reopened.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 25.-Bncour-
aged by the success that met it's efforts
to run its cars yesterday and even
last night. the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company began at daybrealS
this morning TO open up additional
lines, some of which have not been in
operation since the strike began. Gangs
Of laborers shortly after midnight
started the work of clearing away OBJ
struetions which had been on the
tracks since they were abandoned last
Saturday, when the strike was first
declared.
Traffic on all lines. however, Is still
far from normal. Usually more than
$500 cars are operated, while the
largest number used since the begin
ming of the strike, according to the
company was 744 yesterday during the
rush hours.
Nor are the cars well patronized.
sympathy with the strikers and fear
that attacks on the cars may be re-
sumed at any time have kept thou
sands of persons to continue riding in
wagons and other improvised convey
ances. The elevated and subway lines,
however, was operated to its capacity
today.
The authorities hope that the great
Improvement in law and order noted
Yesterday will continue. Although
there were q number of serious out
breaks last night In West Philadel-
phia and in the northern section of the
city. yesterday was by far the quietest
day since the present trouble began.
The heavy sentences imposed on the
leaders of gangs from the northeastern
part of the city appeared to have had
its effect on the crowds of that dis
trict. which were among the most tur-
bulent during the early days of the
strike.
state Police Adequate.
The State police, dubbed the BLACK
Hussars," were able to handle with
little difficulty whatever disorder mani
tested itself in the Kensington mill
district. where they escorted cars all
day and evening The troopers were
on hand again early today, and the
cars continued to be run in this terri
tory with little disturbance.
The transit company announced today
that it has decided TO give the matter
of arbitration proposed by the clergy
men consideration today at special
meeting OF the board of directors Presi-
dent Charles o, Kruger notified the Sec
retary of tie church mems committee
that a communication coming from
such a representative body required re-
spectfu consideration and a prompt
answer. and that il he could get a
quorum of directors together their
proposition will be considered this aft
ernoon.
There Is belief that tile directors,
however. will repeat their former
declarations that the company has
nothing to arbitrate and that it will
manage its affairs in its own way. The
strikers. through National Organizer c..
o. Pratt. have expressed their willing
ness to arbitrate.
Organized labor is backing the strik-
ers strongly, and frequent meetings are
held by leading union organizers from
all parts of the country who are here
to aid the motormen and conductors in
every way which their experience can
suggest.
