LITERARY MAN ON THE FORCE.
Mayor Gaynor Makes Discovery In a
Police Report On a Play.

New York, DeS. % Mayor Gaynor
has discovered that the New York police
force has a literary policeman who has
been acting as a censor of plays on
which complaint has been made. A re-
port from Sergeant Quaekenbos, who is
linguist and French scholar, made
to Police Commissioner Copsey yester
day finds nothing offensive in a certain
play, but says "As to the relative
merits Of the play, personally | consider
it weak and inspid devoid Of force
and the plot much injured by the APP
parent effort to eliminate from it every
thing forceful and decided, with the evil
dent intention Of placing upon it a con-
struction so loose and open that even
the most biased opinion should find no
cause for reproach."

BLOOD SPAWN

N@

The hook joint, with the powerful ten
dons passing on the back, is fabricated
with secretions of one tendinous synovi-
al and number Of artieular synovial
sacs, while the hook itself and shank
bone are fabricated by one large articu-
lar sac. The tendiuous sac is behind
the articulation, running up and down
in the groove of the joint through which
the fexor tendons run. When this sac
becomes expanded or dilated, it is called
blood spawn. When the tendinous sac is
attacked. we have thoroughpin. The
first is located in front, a bit on the
inside OF the hook, while the thoroughpln
is on the top of the back of the hook.
The blood spawn is a well-defned, round
and smooth bunch, showing a well-dilat-
ed vein running up and over the outer
side surface. Thoroughpin is round and
smooth as well, but not as regular in
shape, and is in the hollows of the hook
belt, on each side a little in front of
the tendons hIst back Of the face Of the
shank bone. These swellings are in
way quite like windgalls and can be
treated and considered much the same,
though they are more likely to cause
lameness.

''WHAT IS WHISKY"
ANSWERED BY TAFT

WASHINGTON Jan. 17-President
Taft has made public his official de-
cision in answer to the question,
"What is whiskey?" Mr. Taft says
all these liquids are whiskey:
1. Straight whiskey aged in wood
q Whiskey made from rectified
spirits.
g. Whiskey made from redistilled
spirits.
4. Whiskey made from neutral spi1-
it's, but rendered potable.
The President draws the line at
whiskey made from molasses, which,
he says, is not whiskey, but rum.
LABELS EXPLICIT
He insists that every package of
each of the four kinds of whiskey
shall bear a. ~brand or label describing
exactly what the bottle contains.
The Presidents decision allows the
compounders to call their product
blends" and not, compounds" a
name odious to them. And he orders
that no bottle of whiskey of any kind
need bear the label limitation whis-
key" DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, Chief of
the Bureau of Chemistry, had set his
heart on the label Imitation whis-
key"
Mr.. .Taft's decision is a victory for
the redistillers and rectifiers of whis-
key in Illinois, Ohio and Missouri
who have kept up the fight for their
products ever since DR.. Wiley ex-
pressed the conviction that the blends
should be branded as compounds
and limitation whiskey."
REVERSES ROOSEVELT.
The case was put up to the Presi'
dent by Solicitor-General Bowers, the
contending parties agreeing. Mr.. Taft

ident Roosevelt The Roosevelt-Bona-
Wiley order denied the use of
the word 'whiskey" in branding to all
liquor except straight whiskey," the
whisSey which is aged in charred
oak casks. Mr.. Bowers extended
the use of the word to liquors made of
"rectified" and distilled" spirits. Pres
ident Taft goes a step farther and
includes blends and whiskey made
from neutral spirits"
The President says further in his
decision that his order can do no in
justice. He says:
"The public will be made to know
exactly the kind of whiskey they buy
and drink
This was the intent of the act. 1t
Injuries no mans lawful business, be-
cause it only insists on the statement
of the truth in the label"
The distillers of straight whiskey
say that so per cent of the whiskey
manufactured and consumed in the
United States is blended whiskey.
This nation drinks 195,000,0OO gal
Ions of whiskey in year.

PAELE ON TRIAL
BY COMMITTEE

An investigation of the charges
brought against Road Overseer ]. K.
Paele of Koolaupoko by Thomas Wat
son was opened last night at the city
hall. 1t is conducted by the roads
and bridges committee-SupeTvisors
Quinn, Aylett and Knne. Chairman
Quinn asked Mayor Fern to preside
at this session. Supersivors Nc
Clellan and Logan were present in re-
sponse to a general invitation to
members of the Board, but only asked
few questions to gain an under
standing Of the case.
Watson was accompanied by his
attorney, Ulysses Jones, who declared
determination of pressing the charge
of forging Watson's name of the pay
roll for a certain payment of $3.50
for work on Waikane bridge which
Watson received. Watson claims
net balance of $3.50 due him for work
as a carpenter. For one thing he
says he worked 21 Ia days in April,
but in his affidavit supporting the
charge he puts the time at 10 IA days.
The latter statement agrees with
what is asserted by Paele, who says
he told him he was being overpaid
two days and the excess would be
deducted from him in May.
In the time book from which the
credited with working on April 10 and
20. Ciphers in the columns for those
days were rubbed out and figure ones
marked in instead. This original book
was kept by the luna on the bridge
work, Haleakala, and Paele did not
discover the error until the payroll had
been sent to City and County Engineer
Gere for submission to the Board OF
Supervisors.
= Watson received 81. so in May but
{ says Haleakala signed his name (Wat-
son's) to the payroll by direction OF
, Paele. Watson refused to accept an
other warrant for 81 so for work on
| Waiahole bridge, saying he did no
work on that bridge. Engineer Gere
explained that the credit was proper,
being for the removal of old lumber
} from Waikane bridge to Waiahole
bridge.
1t came out that one Noa made out
the time book in which the change of
figures is apparent, he being an as
sistant to Luna Haleakala. Mayor
Fern in summing up the case after
the hearing had lasted some time, said
if the matter were carried beyond
: Watsons disputed money claim it
would merely land Noa in Jail.
Attorney Jones tried to get the tell
tale time book back, but the Mayor
and Chairman Quinn insisted on hold
2 ting it as evidence. Quinn did not SCI
: any need of prolonging the investiga
tion but Jones insisted on prosecuting
the charges to the bitter end. AS hi
did not have on hand, his witnesses
including Haleakala, who is taking
care of his dangerously i'll wife a
Waikane, the committee adjourned tho

IN WILL CONTEST
REQUEST TO HEAD OF SALIVA
TlON ARMY TO STAND
WoMAN's ECCENTRIC ACTIONS
FAIL TO NULLlFY 1T
Mrs. Elizabeth Perona Shown to Have
Smashed Her Costly Furnl-
ture with Aid Of
Hatchet

DUBLIN, March 19.-General Booth,
head of the Salvation Army, was the
plaintiff In an interesting will case
which came before Justice Wright the
other day. The action was brought to
prove the last will of Mrs. Elizabeth
Perona, who died on April 20, 1903,
at Brighton buildings, Rathgar. The
defendant, Mrs. James Hedges. was a
sister of Mrs Perona, and she i'm
peached the will on the ground of want
of testamentary capacity.
The will was either lost or destroyed.
Advertisements Offering a reward for
its recovery were published, but it was
not forthcoming. The estate totaled
about $4500, and after bequests
amounting to $400 the residue was
divided between General Booth, for
gregational union.
Washington Shea, clerk to Messrs.
Kennedy and Higgins. solicitors, said
that Mrs. Perona executed q win on
February "a, 1907, in the presence Of
himself and another clerk, at her resi-
dence, Sans Souci, Harolds Cross,
Dublin. After her death the witness
searched the rooms for the will and
failed to find 1t, but he found the en-
velope in which 1t had been sent to her
from his employers office. When she
executed the will she was perfectly
comptent to dispose of her affairs, in
the witness opinion.
DR.. j. Hamilton Glenderrng, who
had attended Mrs. Perona, said that
she began to show signs of mental
collapse about fifteen months before
her death. On one occasion she had
some lovely Chippendale furniture, and
she dragged it downstairs and out
into the yard, where she smashed 1t
with a hatchet. She became very
destructive and really insane. She
burned her clothes and her bed sheets.
She had a rope tied to the foot of the
bed by which she managed to spring
in and out of it. She crawled on the
floor like a cat and lay down on the
hearth rug while she burned clothing
and papers.
Further evidence of Mrs. Perona's
strange conduct was given by Mrs.
May Kelly, her landlady at Rathgar.
She said that Mrs. Perona used to cry
over General Booths photograph, say
ing he was her sons favorite and
that he came next to the king.
Justice Wright said he was satisfied
that the will had been properly exc
cuted and been destroyed by the testa-
trix herself at a time when she did not
know what she was doing, and that
she had no intention of revoking it..
The will therefore will be admitted to
DrObate.
