RYAN Or CHRISTIE
APT TO SUCCEED
CORBITI AS CHIEF
Both Captains Popular, and
F0reshadGwed Shake=up May
Land One at Top.

So positive have become the rumors
of a police shake-up that every mem
Der of the police department from Chief
Corbitt down Is discussing the subject.
There will, no doubt, be a general
transfer of captains, sergeants and,
topic of all is who will be appointed
chief if the present. head resigns. There
are more candidates for the job than
there were years g when the last
shake-up took place.
To figure out the most likely %aspirant
for the position, the ace narrows down
to two candidates-Captains. Ryan, of
the First precinct, and Christie, of the
Third precinct.
The popularity of both is unques-
toned and their chances seem to be
equal. Friends of both are working
hard to land their favorite when the
police commissioners meet on Deem
Der %. Merit will influence the APP
pointment and the members of the
force have no fears that an outsider
will be selected, Is has been done in
New York. Chicago and other large
cities.
Chief Corbitt, when asked today if he
intended to resign, simply replied: 81
have nothing to say The appoint
ment must be confirmed by a two
thirds vote of the Common Council.
1t is doubtful If anything will happen
along the line of the proposed shake
up till Mayor Haussling returns from
his Southern trip.

RAIN No CAMPER
upon WEST POINT
FOOTBALL TEAM
Set Out With Gleeful Songs to
Meet "Middies" at Phila-
delphia.

WEST POINT, N. Y. Nov. 25.-The
Army team left today for the scene
of the coming great annual football
game they will pIay tomorrow at
Franklin Field. Philadelphia, with the
naval cadets. Rain was falling in tor
rents, but this did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the corps of cadets,
which gathered in the arena of the
barracks, and, led by the West Point
band, sang the army songs and cheered
the team collectively, and it's mem
bers individually as the thirty-two men
of the squad set out on the march to
the station.
At a mass-meeting held yesterday
Coach Nelly n Coach Beacham made
speeches TO the cadets, expressing their
confidence in the team, but c%autioning
the men that they were to face the
hardest proposition of the season.
The squad was accompanied today by
S. M. Nelly, head coach; Coach ]. W.
Beacham and Captain Grove, treasurer
of the athletic association.
It does not look as If Cadet Walms-
ley has any chance to get into the
game, as he walked with the aid of
clutches this morning. His knee Is in
bad shape still, and Englehart prob
ably will start the game, with Huston.
the big plebe, as substitute. The rest
of the army cripples appeared in good
shape, and although Lieutenant Nelly
would not make any definite statement
of the makeup of the team it can be
reasonably expected that Picks and
Wood will play ends, Devore and Little
John tackles, Weir and Englehart
guards, Arnold centre, Dean INT Brown
halfbacks, Hyatt quarterback and
Surles fullback.
The rest of the cadets will leave on
a special train at s o'clock Saturday

LIEN SUIT INVOLVES
MANY COMPLICATIONS
One Lien0r Claims Another Came
In to Defeat Him.

Alleging that a lien claim had been
made without consideration and for the
purpose of depriving the claimant of
his defense in a counter claim for
damages, Monroe V. Poole, of West
Long Branch, figured as the complain
ant n Adolph Grant & Co., of New
York, as defendants in proceedings be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Stevens in Chan
Gerry chambers today. Considerable
testimony was taken on the points in
volved, and decision was reserved.
Poole, who is a mason, had entered
into a contract with White G. Coyne, of
West Long Branch, for work on Henry
Goldman's house in South Elberon. He
TOOK the job for 1000. The work done
by the defendants, who were also on
part of the job, did not correspond
with Poole's, but they refused to re-
move the thing they had put in, and
brought suit against Poole in Mon
mouth county for $222.29 damages for
alleged defective work. Then Adolph
Grant & Co. made an assignment of
all their claims and demands against
Poole to Henry A. OetJen.
Parker & Van Gelder. of Long
Branch, appeared for Poole and Nc
Dermott & Enright, of Jersey City, for
the defense.

HIT in SOUTHERN PLAY.

night by the st. Johns Dramatic Club
was intended as an appreciation of
the return of John T. Platt to the man.
agement of their performances, the
young women n men who delighted
two good-sized audiences must have
gratiied their director. The show was
a finished production, and the fire.
quent appliance given was earned by
the young folk. The evening perform
ance was given before a representative
audience, and many 1attering COM
ments upon the proficiency of the men,
bers were forthcoming after the show.
Francis A. Byrne, who assumed the
leading role, Bob Reynolds, gave a
faithful portrayal of the part. Mr..
Byrne's skill as al elocutionist, coupled
with an intelligent conception of the
character of the ardent wooer, was a
dominant factor in the dramatic situa-
tons. He had a competent aid in Miss
Helen Egan as his sweetheart. missile
Carter, Miss Egan's part, a difficult one
TO assume, was pleasingly given.
A refreshing element of humor was
injected into the various acts by the
clever approximations of the negro
characters by Miss Barbara O'Hagan
and Thomas Bracken. The pair were
given deserved applause. Edward
Byrne, as Sam Carter, the vindictive
mountaineer, was an able performer,
and Miss Margaret Quigley, as Mrs
Carter, his wife, lent good support to
the leading characters. John O'Hagan,
as lack Reynolds, the hated leader
of his clan, took advantage of several
opportunities for exploitation of his
dramatic talent. William Dunn, An
drew Milan and Robert E. Lee as
sumed their parts in a capable manner
The singing Of the Blue Ridge Quar-
tet, including Clifford ]. Werner, AL
and George Taylor and Louis Noll, was
a happy diversion. and several encore
were demanded after their numbers
were given. Miss Anna Connolly was
accompanist for the singers. Profess
sor F. c. L. Schreiner gave the musical
numbers with an orchestra and follow

Queen PAYS THE
PENALTY OF HER
LIFE Of CARNAGE
Thanksgiving Elephant Executed
for Killing Two
Keepers.
Especial to the Newark start

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 25.-Maintain--
ing to the last the bravado that has
characterized her demeanor even after
she had been convicted of wilful MUIR
der and sentenced to death, Queen to-
day paid the penalty for her crime.
Not until she was led forth to die did
she relinquish hope of a reprieve. There
vas a. rumor that Queen made a con-
fession just before being led to execu-
ton, but this was aYthoritatively de-
MED.
Queen was gathered to her fathers
via the elephant gun route. This was
eminent1y appropriate, for Queen is.
or rather was, a huge elephant. She
was more than that, for few monsters
of her species have come out of the
jungle to enter upon as extensive a
m~an-killing career. Her aversion to
humans was so marked that she at
tackled keepers at every opportunity
and succeeded in Staying two. 1t was
because of this her owner, Frank A..
Robbins, circus proprietor, sentenced
her to death.
PERFECTLY drrdnSeu ueldlIS iHdue the
execution a model of elephant killing.
Queen was offered a light breakfast,
but sent Jack the half dozen bales of
hay untasted. When led into the yard
of Bartel's animal farm on the Plank
road, where was stationed ar expert
marksman armed with a repeating
rifle. One bullet in the animal. one
vulnerable spot, just back of the ear,
did the trick. With a moan of mingled
rage and despair, Queen crumpled to
the ground. Her fall shook the ground
for yards around. One. or two con-
vulsive shudders and the jungle mon
ster was dead.
1t is understood the skin of the ele-
plant will be mounted and placed in a
museum.

over the possibility of some of those
cholera stricken hogs finding their
way on the local markets.
People in cities are dependent
upon bakers, dairymen and butchers
for their food. Villages have sprung
up, offering a market for the diary
products and meat and wares of the
farmers around; villages have grown
into towns and towns into cities with
the same system employed, except
ing that the market has made II
possible for dealers to engage in the
exclusive business OF furnishing
these necessities of life. They have
been competing with one another,
instead of cooperating, and ii re-
quires cooperation to erect and
maintain a central abattoir and a
central milk depot. The latter is
the only way an effective system of
milk inspection can be maintained.
Now there is prospect of the
abattoir plan being adopted, and the
city should in every way. consistent
with good management, assist in the
project The central milk depot
should be urged. 1t might drive out
some small dealer, who now is dis
tributing germs to Paducah babies,
but somehow our heart strings re-
fuse to respond to his appeals. The
cries of dying babies drown his
voice.
The argument cannot be advanced
that people don't have TO buy and
eat these products, II they don't
wish to. They do have to buy and
eat them: and where the question OF
the conservation of public health and
life are concerned. all other material
factors involved, sink into signifi-
canoe besides the principal one.
