RATABLES TOTAL
s5.63 24,574 IN
ENTIRE COUNTY
Continued from First Page.)

tax on the ground that the average
rate for the current year would be an
excessive one because of the wilful re-
fusal of the county board to include
all the known ratables in establishing
the rate for the current year.
The Court of Errors has already de-
termined the validity of the average
rate" law, which specifically declares
how that rate shah be determined. It
requires the State comptroller, to whom
all abstracts of ratables with local and
county rates are returned, to ascertain
the average rate at which all property
is assessed and return the same to the
State Board of Assessors as the rate OF
taxation for all the main stem" rail-
0 a n canal property in the State.
The act of 1910 is crude, and, read
literally, applies to "all reductions
made in any preceding a or years.
and directs the board to make a like
reduction for the current year. That
might be continued indefinitely, and the
reductions allowed this year might be
allowed again next year. While the
law defines a duty of the county board,
1t is a supplement to the general tax
law of 1908, while the county boards
are created under a law of 1906.
There are numerous court decisions,
notably the Kenilworth Borough case,
decided April 20, 1909, which hold that
no ground for action exists and q
municipality is entitled to no relief be-
cause of errors after the municipality
permits an assessment to be confirmed
by the county board without protest.

ing from England to Home
in Newark.

Somewhat improved by the ocean
voyage, but still so weak that he
could hardly walk, DR.. Isaiah B. Hop

serious illness of his life. DR.. Hop

Of his grandson, I. B. Hopwood. on

His plans for extended travelling
through England and Scotland were
cut short by the sickness which over

DR.. Hopwood. who for the past thirty
six years has beer the pastor of CAL
vary Church. is very close to so a
old, and since a long period OF sickness
last winter has been In very poor
health. Grave fears for his life were
entertained by his relatives and friends
when the news Of his sickness reached
this side. especially because Of DIR. Hop
woods age.
1t is expected that it will be some
time before DR.. Hopwood will again be
able to preach at the church. Many
inquiries were received at the parson-
age this morning regarding DR.. Hop
woods health. and his many friends
expressed their pleasure that DR.. Hop
wood had returned home benefited by

young men and two women ran into a
bicycle on which was a letter-carrfer
at II o'clock today at Washington and
William streets, overturned the bicycle
and the rider and then ran into a horse
attached TO a plumbers wagon stand
ing at the northwest corner of the
street.
A young man who saw the accident
said the automobile was running fast
up washington street. and struck the
bicycle in the middle of William street,
up which the carrier was riding. The
chauffeur, in his effort to ave the car
rier, turned his machine sharply to the
left, and ran into the horse.

Virginia Wardlaw-- Martyr?

apt to look i~ll-naturedly Upon such per-
sons.
Her death was truly pathetic. She
had been long unconscious, oblivious of
her surroundings, even not knowing her
brother, who was at her side. Imagine
the scene. The monotonous dormitory
in the house of detention, the n bed
in the corner, where she lay, her only
brother bending over her, his face tear
stained and a prayer pom his lips;
about her cot the nurses and the jail
attendants and outside the newspaper
reporters waiting, almost excitedly, for
the p~re-arranged signal hat should tell
of her endi And as she stood at the
brink of the grave who knows but that
she struggled to utter some word, only
to find that her lips had lost their
power and her tongue was stilled. She
died in silence and IL she had a secret
to confess it passed away into the dark
ness with her life.
Pity Virginia Wardlaw! Perhaps these
words are too late, for 1t has beer
well said that one rose to the living
is worth a thousand given to the dead,
Pity Virginia Wardlaw! Her life
was smothered by the crushing sorrow
that she bore. Her days were has
tened by her wakeful nights. Her
body was hemmed in by prison bars,
but her pride was steadfast and with
out restraint. Yet, and it is sad. she
died alone and without q friend, ex-
cepting the members of her Immediate
family. Perhaps she did not know, as
many do not know, that THE only
way to have a friend is to be one.'
This, 1t seems. is the lesson of her
death.

ASYLUM LACKS SYMMETRY,
SAY BUILDING EXAMINERS.

Alexander Fraser, of the firm of Barr,
Thaw & Fraser, who has been examin-
ing the buildings at the Overlook
Hospital for the Insane, reported to the
appraisal board yesterday that while
the buildings were structurally not
weak, they were crude and erected
without attention to symmetry.
The cement floors. declared Mr..
Fraser's report, had been much
patched, and in many cases stone work
had beer cut out and cement substi-
tuted.
When asked if he would be personally
satisfied with the buildings had his own
firm erected them, Mr.. Fraser replied
that he would not. not because the
general construction of them is faulty,
but on account of their far from per-
feet appearance. The expert declared
the average of stone Used in the Miller
group was slightly better than that OF
the birmingham group.

NVT HEN Death, grave and irresisti-
w BILE. sealed the lips and stilled'
the heart of Virginia Wardlaw
what a crown of thorns he lifted from
her brow! Truly she now faces a
greater judgment and a sterner Judge,
but the earthly suffering and the silent
pain are gone.
This woman, whose long life had
flown in such even channels. passed
away the centre of a great sensation.
Perhaps she was wholly innocent of the
crime with which she was charged.
Perhaps a hideous wrong has been done
her. Certainly persons far less worthy
have gone with greater honors to the
grave. To a degree, then. she was a
martyr.
An overwhelming sense of shattered
pride killed Virginia Wardlaw. This was
only natural. Consider her case. Here
was a woman of good family n of
excellent education. She was the grad
uate of a university and the head of a
seminary for young ladies. Her name
is one that Is known throughout the
South and she was proud Of her name.
She was proud of her education and of
her attainments. She was proud, also,
of the position she had held and of
the irreproachable life she had led.
Then suddenly to be arrested as the
murderess of her niece! Little wonder
that in the months of imprisonment
that followed her body wasted and her
mind %decayed! Little wonder that she
died! And now she is to be carried to
her grave before the eyes Of the world,
despised by many, for the world is

is responsible for most ailments. There
are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged, the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, in

produces rheumatism and kidney all

GAELAGHER'S ATTORNEYS
WORKING ON DEFENSE.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 12.-Dr. q
Styles Potter. the alienist who ex'
amined James j. Gallagher, Mayor
Gaynor's would-be assassin. at the in
stance of his counsel, made the fol-
lowing statement today:
81 made a preliminary examina-
ton of James j. Gallagher in h
Hudson county jail at the instance
Of his attorney, Samuel p. jack
tofY, but from the examination thus
far made I am not prepared to
make a definite statement regard
ing his mental condition. His train
of thought. however, seemed re-
markably well connected n his
memory good. A physical exami-
nation revealed facts of import
ance, which I am not at this time
prepared to discuss"
Attorneys Jacktoff and Simpson
who has been called into the case
as associate counsel, visited the
prisoner in his cell. accompanied by
DR.. Potter. The latter is attached tc
the corporation counsels office, but
said he was visiting Gallagher as
private patient.
Alexander Simpson, one of the best
Known criminal lawyers OF jersey
City. was selected yesterday as coun-
sci for Gallagher by the prisoner
New York attorneys. Mr.. Simpson
outlined the possible defense of the
prisoner.

of the bullet was in fact probably a
fragment of bone.
The reassurmg announcement that
Mavor Gaynor had passed a tn nd sat
~isfaetorv night was made promptly at
break of day this morning by his at
PENDANTS at st. Mary's Hospital. Pulse,
respiration and temperature, it was
said. continued practically normal, ana
every symptom indicted prompt re-
covery.
This optimistic information did not
serve however, to overcome completely
a feeling of alarm which spread among
the watchers last night, nor did it en-
tirely allay the effects produced by the
circulation of a variety of disquieting
rumors.
The chief basis for these rumors
seemed to be the fact that a 1ve-hour
consultation of the attending ply
sicians was found necessary late last
night. To many this seemed strangely
inconsistent with the uniformly hopeful
bulletins issued throughout the day,
Added to this there vas an unfavorable
impression gained in some quarters by
the admission of the physicians h a
the first photographs of the mayors
wound were misleading and that the
complete X-ray examination'-made
Yesterday afternoon-showed the bullet
lodged intact in the patients throat
and not in two pieces, as had first been
supposed.
Another consultation of surgeons Will
be held this afternoon.
But the early morning announce
ments today from the hospital were
even more cheerful than those of yes
terday.
II have the strongest hopes for the
mayors complete and rapid recovery.
said Robert Adamson, his secretary.
"Of course he will be in the danger
zone for a week yet, but he is doing
beautifully, and If things continue to
go well he can be removed from his
quarters here in a fortnight.
.'The mayor is a decidedly robust
invalid. Despite the half dozen medi-
cal experts and members of his family
he is running his own convalescent
campaign. He insists on knowing
Just what the physicians are about.
and while never discourteous, he de-
eides all matters pertaining to his i'll
ness with the same finality that char
acterizes his actions at the City Han.'
Many Cranks Around Hosp1tai.
The roll of cranks and freaks who
are making ST. Mary's Hospital their
mecca increases daily. Most Of then
desire to offer suggestions as to the
best way of bringing the patient back
to health again. Many of the sugges-
lions verge on the ridiculous. Several
medicine men with bottles of cure-all
have urged their wares upon Secre-
tary Adamson, and the persons VINO
have had bullet wounds Just like the
mayors are without number. One OF
the latter is an east side p~rizehghter,
who three years ago while participat-
ing in the pleasures of a running re-
volver battle was shot in the neck.
The bullet, he says. took exactly the
same course as the one which is now
located in the mayors jaw" The vlsl-
tor assured Mr. Adamson and the ply
sicians that he had found recovery a
simple matter.
Another man came all the way from
Chicago with a special device for
spraying the Mayors throat. while an
other announced that he had a cure
for throat poisoning" which could not
fail to eradicate all danger in twelve
hours.

the whole question now is is Gallagher
insane or sane? That's all. The ques-
ton of his sandy at the time he shot
Mr.. Gaynor, for it is admitted that he
fired the shots. would not enter until
he had been released from the asylum.
Then he might be tried for the crime
If the witnesses were living"
Asked about Gallagher's ability to
raise money for his defense, Mr.. Simp-
son contented himself with saying
that was a private matter. He added
that Hudson county would not foot
the bills.

How Big Is Arkansas?

At banquet an Alkansawer was
asked to speak of his native state.
He said: eff all the wheat in Ark
ansas was one grain, the only place
to plant it would be in the Grand
Canyon of Arizona, the only hole
on earth big enough TO contain it.
II all the corn raised in Arkansas
was one ear, the only way to shell
it would be by steam stump pullers
extracting a grain at time from
the cob. If all the cattle in Arkan.
sas were one COW she would browse
the tender herbage of the tropics,
whisk icicles off the north pole with
her tail and supply milk enough to
fill canal reaching from Kansas
City to the gulf on which to ship
the boat loads of her cheese and
butter. If all the chickens in Ark
ansas were one rooster he could
straddle the Rocky Mountains like
a great colossus, and crow until he
shook the rings off the planet
Saturn. If all the hogs raised in
Arkansas were one hog he could
plant his hind foot on the soil of
Cuba, his fore foot on the IsSnmus
of Panama and with one root of bis
huge snout dig sea level canal
from ocean to ocean. If all the
mules raised in Arkansas were one
mule, he could plant one fore foot
on the soil of Texas and another
amid the forests of Maine and with
his hind feet kick the face off the
man in the moon"
