FATAL TO THIRD
CLERK OF COURT
Reinheimer's Predecessors Are
Killed by Cars, He Succumbs
to Puzzling Illness.

The third victim OF the hoodoo which
has been associated with the chief
~clerkship of the Coney Island police
court for tho past eight years, sue
cumbed to-day. Charles II. R%einhe,mer,
who succeeded the late Kenneth F.
Sutherland as chief clerk, died at his
home. East Nineteenth street and Ave-
nue. T. Sheepshead Bay.
R~einheimer was nfty-four vesrs ola
and had long been prominent In Demo-
cratic politics in the Sixteenth Assembly
District. He was apparently in perfect
health when the tragic death Of
Kenny" Sutherland. tho Coney Island
boss. made his appointment as chief
clerk OF the court possible. His health
began to fail soon after he took the
place. Four months ago he broke down
and took to his bed. Physicians said
there was something the matter with
his stomach. and specialists were
called In.
Some OF the specialists said he had
cancer OF the stomach. Others said he
had IN Intestinal tumor. All agreed an
operation was imperative. Reinhetmer

an doperated on several times. He grew
worse, and q few days ago. d~espairing
of recovery, asked that he be sent home
TO die. After seeing some friends yes
terday afternoon, he began to sink, and
gradually lost mis- grip on ilfe until this
morning, when the last hold was gone.
The news o, the death OF Reinheimer
made Coney Island renew tho talk of
teh tragedy attaching to the chief clerk
ship OF the court.
Thomas Osborn. chief clerk Of the
Coney Island Court. eight years ago,
was killed by a Smith street trolley
car while riding home IN a carriage.
He was succeeded by Bernard ". Bass,
the only incumbent in eight years to
escape the hoodoo.
However, Bass remained only a short
time. He was promoted to a position
in the Park Department. and Frank
Gaffney was picked to succeed him.
Gaffney was killed while alighting from
a train at Bath Beach.
Then Kenneth Sutherland took the
place. He was killed last summer in
tho same way Tint Gaffney met his
end-alighting from q train at Bath
Beach.

Wet Feet and Neglect Of Colds Also
Contributing Causes, Declares
Health Officer.

There were Coz deaths from pneu-

Guy l.. Kiefer. city health officer, be-
lieves that the foul air and unsoni.
tary condition OF street cars was the
greatest contributing case.
There can be no question" he
said. but that the ventilation In the
city street cars is extremely poor. In
my opinion foul air OF any kind in
nailed under certain conditions, will
have tendency to produce pneu-

the many evils we must combat In
controlling the disease.
wet feet are also many times TO
blame tor pneumonia. People go
about in this sloppy weather without

and when they contract cold many
of them give II no attention. One OF
the essential precautions is to keep
the feet dry and 10 care for cold as

1911 GETS NOISY GREETING.
New Year Wished In With Screening
Whistles and Changing Bells.

With the usual accompaniment OF
screeching whistles, changing bells and
the firing of revolvers, the new year
was ushered in, Saturday night. The
demonstration began at IL o'clock and
continued without interruption until
after the city hall officially sounded the
death knell OF the expiring year.
In all the downtown cafes gay par
ties gathered about the tables and
made merry until the small hours. In
most of the cafes, special table dhote
dinners were in order. and long before
midnight the gaily decorated dining
halls were filed to their capacity. The
scene presented was in rather marked
contrast to the solemn watch-night ser.
vices in many OF the churches. which
were we'll attended.
The soap artist was In evidence. as
usual. and left his mark on nearly ev-
cry store front In the downtown dis
trict.
In the majority OF Detroit homes the
New Years dinner was eaten Sunday,
though the festivities will continue
today. In many sections the old-fash.
toned custom Of holding open house is
i'm force. Every theater in the city
will give special holiday matinee
this afternoon and all are prepared to
take care of large crowds.
