HAPPENINGS AT THE
COUNTY SEAT
CONDITION OF
WM. NORTHRUP
HAS IMPROVED

New York, July 22:-Mrs. Nellie
Northrup, the attractive young wife
or William Northrup, a boat builder
or Richmond Terrace, Staten Island,
and John Quest, a neighbor, were ar
ralgned before Magistrate Handy at
Stapleton yesterday. Northrup Is in
st. Vincent's Hospital, suffering from
s~trychnine poisoning, and the pair
are held on suspicion of knowing
something about the case. 1t is ex-
pected that Northrup will ecove
Northrup and his wife, who Is
twenty years his Junior, have been
living for a month on a h~ouseboat
off the pier at Mariners Harbor.
Neighbors said last night that the
couple quarreled often, the principal
reason being on account of North
rup's jealousy of his attractive young
wife. He is about ffty-one years
old.
Tuesday night Northrup was away
from the houseboat, but Mrs. North
rup passed the night aboard. The
police learned that Quest, who is
about the woman's age, visited the
boat In the evening.
When Northrup returned to the
boat for breakfast Wednesday morn
ing he found his breakfast waiting
for him, but Mrs. Northrup was
gone. The breakfast consisted of
prunes, oatmeal and coffee. The
man ate heartily and almost at
once was attacked with severe pains
and commissions. He managed to
call help from the shore, and an m
h,1anan oorrJa1 Hlro t1 O. Xvs.oz-4yn
Hospital, after a stomach pump had
revealed evidence of poisoning by
strychnine.
Detectives from Stapleton visited
the boat and took away the remains
of the breakfast for chemical analy-
sis. Northrup became unconscious
soon after he was taken to the hospf-
tai, but by energetic work on the
part of the surgeons he was revived
sufficiently to say that he had no
ticed the extremely salty taste Of the
prunes when eating and that he had
been compelled to put them aside.
Search was at once made for Mrs.
Northrup and Quest, and after noon
the woman was found on a pier at
the Erie Basin, in Brooklyn.
Quest, who is only twenty-six
years old, was arrested an hour later
at the foot Of Whitehall street, Man
haitian, as he was boarding a Brook
Ign ferryboat. Both man and wo-
man were locked up in the Stapleton
police station on charges of felon-
ious assault.
To the police Northrup declared
that his wife had recently threatened
to do away with him" and that he
had been in constant fear of her
since he had upbraided her for al
lowing Quest to be friendly. Other
persons about Mariners Harbor al
so told the police that in the last
few weeks Mrs. Northrup had been
heard to threaten her husband.
Mrs. Northrup apparently was not
much perturbed over her arrest or
Quests. Quest Is a driver and had
been an intimate visitor at the
Northrups while they were living at
Mariners aHarbor.
For the last year, Northrup told
the police, he had objected to Quests
visits, THAI on these occasions
Mrs. Northrup had qu~arrelled with
him and refused to tell Quest to
cease his calling.
DR.. Conway, at st. Vincent's Hos
pital, said today that Northrup was
in an improved condition and stood
a chance for recovery.

nual convention of the New Jersey

Toned way Of extracting teeth some

They were lured into the chairs,
however, with those little white lies
that 1T won't hurt you" Shrieks
from some of the women proved 9th
erwise.
Free dental days will be a feature
OF the convention. These are given
so as to give practical demonstra-
tons of how the new methods and
more advanced studies not only aid
the dentists, but relieve pain. 1t

CHURCH HEAD
INVOLVED IN
TURKISH PLOT
Special bv United Press Wire.


Constantinople, July 22:-No less
important a parsonage than Hussein
Husni Effendi, the Sheik-ul-Islam, is
being implicated in the reactionary
plot in connection with which the
young Turk government has been
making SO many arrests and con-
Quoting SO vigorous an investigation.
1t is upon this ground that Hussein's
resignation from his post as Sheik-
ul-lslam is explained. He was sue
ceeded by Mussa Kiazin Effendi, a
member Of the upper house of the
Turkish parliament, and a man Of
decided young Turk sympathies.
The significance of the situation Is
best explained by the fact that,
though the Sultan is theoretically
the head of the Mohammedan
church, the actual head is the Sheik-
ul-Islam, through whom, as his APP
pointee and nominal subordinate, the
Sultan exercises his ecclesiastical au-
thority. How little authority the
Sultan has over the Sheik is made
clear by the fact hat it is the Sheik-
ul-lslam who ~pronounces sentence of
disposition when he thinks his royal
master is no longer fit to remain up
on the throne.
