Mediterranean and anchored outside the
bar. and transfer to a tug the infant son
of Lawrence Perrin. recently adjudged
insane. The nurse OF the baby. which il
also called Lawrence Perrin. was included
in the permit to leave the liner at Quaran-
tine. II is somewhat unusual TO take a
baby from a steamship down the bay
and the ship news men called up the office
OF the law firm and asked them Why they
were doing it. 1t was said that the Perrin
case had been made too much Of in the
newspapers and that the object OF taking
the baby of this way was to avoid pub
licity.
Perrin was declared insane again yester-
day, this time by a Sherin's jury, which
was also directed to ascertain the value
Of his property. The commission found
that his personal property announts to
81 900, which the American Consuls In
Spain and Morocco are trying to collect,
while his only real property, worth about
$40, 600, is the castle at Ronda, Spain,
which he bought for $4,000.

Counsel approves the work will be done
for the remaining six months of this

ful bidder for the contract for the FIVE
years beginning January last.
This action was taken after Health
Commissioner Lederle had been served
with a temporary injunction restraining
the rendering or disposal OF offal and
dead animals at Newtown Creek. where
both companies have plants. The in
junction was issued by Supreme Court
Justice Gerard at the instance OF William
l.. Woodhill OF 20 Ely avenue. Long Island
City. MIR. Noodhill told the Court that
he had been a resident OF Long Island
City for forty years and that il the city

spread sickness.
Yesterday morning two delegations OF
taxpayers, headed respectively by the
Rev. w. Ewart Mounteney and Herbert
Z. Williams, secretary OF the Greenpoint
Citizens and Taxpayers Association, called
upon Commissioner Lederle to protest.
DR.. Lederle told them the work of render
ing animals would not be done at Newtown
Creek
After the submission OF bids last
November a letter from the Lederle
laboratories was written to the Health
Department speaking in high terms OF
the hygienic methods employed by the
Van Iderstine Company.
Commissioner Lederle said yesterday
that the bid OF the Van lderstine Company
was not the lowest. Thomas +. White
submitted a bid for S2S. 900 less for the
the requirements the Commissioner
explained. He added:
The Van Iderstine bid is for $3.50. 900
for five years. II was submitted accord
ing to the requirements advertised.
namely, that the contract would be good
for two years. after which il the city
had arranged for the incineration OF re-
fuse for any borough the contract for that
borough would be vacated.
The White contract did not provide
for this abrogation. The Van Iderstine
contract is $4,000 cheaper than the
combined bids of White and the McKeever
companies, which have been doing the
work for eighteen or twenty years.
The law requires that all rendering OF
refuse and animals must be done at
Barren Island. The Van lderstine Com
pany has no plant there now. but DR..
Lederle said he understood il has options

rings as a present to a young woman OF

He left on Saturday for Niagara Falls

rings to his valet with instructions that
they be delivered to the young woman to
whom they were addressed.

on the train at the Grand Central started
to take in the sights. Finally. the police
say. he got to the saloon at Sixth avenue

confidential with the bartender and
showed him the black diamond rings.
The bartender said wait until he was on
duty and they would see some more Of
New York.
When the valet awoke in the morning
he could not find the package that had
contained the rings. On Sunday he told
the Baron. The police were notified,
watch was set on the bartender and an
advertisement was inserted IN the news
papers.
last night about 7:s0 while detectives
were in the Plaza awaiting the result OF
the advertisements Lyons came to the
desk and offered the rings. He was at

a detective went to Winters saloon and
got Huelsbach.
Lyons, who said that he was an iron
worker of 1O7 Hudson street. Hoboken,

NEwBuRoH, Feb. 9.-The will OF Joseph
Gala CHAN Of his city left about s2S,OOO
to st. Francis Xavier College OF New
York. Mrs. Mary v. Zint of Highland
Falls contested the will, but Surrogate
Sweezy decided il should stand. An
action in December was brought before
Justice Tompkins to set aside the decision
Of the Surrogate. This took four days.
The contest was made on alleged grounds
OF Gala CHAN being incompetent to make
the will The Supreme Court jury sus-
tanned Surrogate Sweexy Subsequently
a motion was made on several grounds
to set the verdict aside. One of these
waa that two jurors swore that they had
been persuaded by the others that they
were bound to disregard all testimony
given as to Callaghan's mental condition
before and after signing the will.
Justice Tompkins took the papers and
to-day his decision was received. The
Judge scores the two jurors hard. He
says in deciding for the defendant:
IF this il true that these jurors dis
regarded the evidence, IL was done in
spite Of the instruction Of the court, which
was to the effect that all the testimony
in the case as to the speech and the con-
duct of the deceased. and all the facts
and circumstances disclosed by the
testimony bearing upon his mental con-
dition before and after the execution Of
the will. were to be considered by the
jurors in determining whether or not
he possessed mental capability at the
time OF the execution OF the will. This
was repeated to the jury several times
and il is incredible to me that any juror,
however ignorant or stupid, could have
understood or have been convinced after
sitting for four days listening to the
the conduct, speech and manners and
the life of the deceased and the specific
and <epeated instructions of the court.
thaS he was to disregard this testimony
and do not believe that any juror under
stood that he was to disregard the testi-
mony on these matters OF that they have
been disregarded as sworn to by these
jurors. Alcareful reading of their affidavits
disclosee 10 me that they have indulged
in a great deal Of loose swearing, IL they
have not committed deliberate perjury"
