TEACH HIM TO TALK AGAIN
Physicians Interested in Case of
Tarrytown Bridegroom.

Six weeks ago George Lever. Of Tar
rytown, was married. Two weeks after
the wedding he strained himself while
hanging pictures in his newly furnished
home. He did not experience any ill ef-
feet at the time, but several days later,
while out driving. he was suddenly
stricken with paralysis and fell helpless
in the carriage.
Next day he was removed to ST. Johns
Riverside Hospital, Yonkers. Levers af-
Fiction assumed peculiar form. He lost
the power of speech. and physicians be-
coming interested in the case addressed
themselves to the task of assisting the
patient in his efforts to regain it.. After
numerous attempts Lever found himself
able to pronounce few simple syllables.
The doctors made him repeat these syl
tables over and over again. and gradually
by combining the syllables Lever began
to master small, and then larger words
He is now on fair way TO recovery
and is daily charging his vocabulary
At the time he was stricken the youug
mans memory was slightly impaired. but
the full use of this faculty has now ap-
parently been restored to him.

RESENTS JAPANESE TARIFF
Trouble Brewing Between Eng.
land and Her Ally.
IBy Cable to The Tribune.


London, Dec. So.-Trouble is brewing
between England and her ally. Japan.
The forthcoming Japanese loan will. it
is stated. be affected by the resentment
of British flnanciers toward the new
japanese tariff. which will affect the in
dustries of Lancashire and Yorkshire
severely.
British investors are being advised to
show the japanese that If they want
assistance they must be just to the man
ufacturers and traders of this country.
Another matter which has caused a
considerable amount of ill feeling is the
sale by Japan to Abyssinis of sixty
thousand rifles and six million cartridges
that were captured from the Russians
at Port Arthur. AS a large proportion
Of these weapons must necessarily pass
into the possession Of Narlike tribes on
several frontiers of the British Empire.
THE Outlook does not hesitate to say
that the action of the Japanese War
Office can be regarded only as an un-
friendly one. and that there is good
reason TO believe that the matter will
form the subject of a protest from the
British Foreign Office.

PREACHER RESTORES ORDER

An audience of nearly seven hundred
persons was thrown into a panic early
last night, when a large section of the
ceiling Of the auditorium of the Educa-
tional Alliance, at East Broadway and
Jefferson street, fell with a loud crash
Four men in the audience received pain
full injuries and at least a score were
bruised by the falling debris or injured
In the rush for the door.
Save for the presence of mind of the
Rev. DR.. Meyer H. Masliansky, who was
occupying the lecture platform when the
accident occurred it is probable there
would have been a number of fatalities.
Above the noise and confusion he
shouted commands to the usners at the
doors and they worked heroically to pre-
vent those nearest the doors from being
trampled under foot. After fifteen min
utes Of struggling the reassuring words
of DR.. Masliansky and the ushers got the
members of the audience back to their
seats.
DR.. ArIuck, Of Gouverneur Hospital,
was called to attend the injured. He
treated Herman Notokoff, of No 233o
Court street, Newark, Joseph LeleCo"ltA'
of No. / First avenue; Moses HoWof1ing,
of No. 13O Cannon street, and Norris
Marsh. of No. 129 Orchard street, for
lacerations of the arms and hands. All
of the men were in the front row, few
feet from where the heaviest part of the
ceiling fell.
Those in charge of the building were
unable to explain what caused the
twenty or more square feet of plaster to
fall. When order was restored and the
injured attended to DIR. Masliansky re-
uuested the audience to leave the hall
quietly.
The lecture was on 1.-THE Feast of
Esther" and was one of the weekly
entertainments given for charitable pur-
poses The auditorium is on the second
floor Of the building, and had the fren-
zied crowd been permitted to gain the
stairs Il is believed that many would
have been killed by falling to the floor
below. None of the thirty women pres
ent at the lecture was injured.
