bined gives 1t another four to five inch

gray. Is otherwise like that of chin
chilla, as also are Its large and delicate
ears, while both In the formation and
the manner Of using its legs it reminds
one of new species Of miniature kan
CARGO. Again. at times. when in sit
ting posture, 1t looks not unlike fluffy
young chicken which Is trying TO put
out of sight a worm that has proved
almost too much for 1t. Indeed. at all
times the elongated and highly sensi-
tive nose or trunk is very much like a
dark colored and uneasy worm-that
organ. which during wakeful moments
Is always slightly on the wriggie. 1t
has swift leaping powers. 1t will tuck
up its appendages and, like ball. roll
over and over In straight line. and,
after a meal, which occurs at very
short intervals and consists of several
mouthfuls only. quite surprises one by
standing stock still. apart only from q
gentle quivering Of the trunk.

had given him years before with an
Injunction to take good care of 1t, as
everything would go well with him 30
long as he did and vice versa IL he
happened to lose 1t. The promised
prosperity attended him for many
years while he held the sixpenee fast;

No Peril to Taft
in This Big Bomb

President Taft had little to fear that
the bomb 20 carried to the Lincoln
statue by William II. Myers. a Jeweler,
56 years old, Of 81 Howard street,
would end his chances in the presiden-
tial race by killing him Off. The man
who was SO anxious to get a front seat
and who frightened all spectators by
telling them he had highly explosive
box was only a demented person and
nls aIlllui OF goods were harmless.
Myers was observed by Roundsman
Stillman edging his way through the
crowd. When he explained that he had
dynamite in his possession the crowd
became excited. "This box contains an
article that would make a subway from
the Court House to the Market street
depot in three minutes" he exclaimed.
II would make McAdoo feel like piker
If I cared to give away my invention"
His explosives were c.refully han
died and when examined were found to
be two worn-out electric batteries and
several humps of glucose. The wires
that were added to the outfit gave il a.
good effect.
Myers was discharged today with a
warning.

MacFarland to
Appeal Today

Application for a writ Of error in the
case Of Allison M. MacFarland, whu
has been sentenced to death for wife
murder, will be made this afternoon by
Frank M McDermit before Chancel-
lor Mahlon Pitney in Morristown.
This marks another step in MacFar-
lands fight for life. Mr.. McDermit in
his application will assert thai there
are many errors in the trial as cen
Quoted before Chief Justice Gummere.
His principal plea will be made on
the admission into evidence of the
Bunny Bromley letters, which actual
iy convicted MacFarland in the minds
of the jurors. He will allege that the
letters were not properly identified,
that they were not proper evidence in
the case and that their admission by
the chief justice was an error.
IF he is granted a writ Of error the
case will be reviewed by the Court
of Errors and Appeals.

There is romance, which goes back
to the Chatham days, when Hawley

great friends Miss Hanor later mar
ried Elijah M. Payn, a son of Lou Payn,
and later divorced him and married
Frederick M Haviland, her present
husband.

me to discuss the will at this time

When argument on the writ of ha-
beas corpus in the Brandt case was
begun before Justice Gerard today the
court room was crowded. Among the
spectators were Mrs w. K. Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Mortimer l.. Schiff, wife O.
Brandt's former employer and accr
ser Attorney General Carmody mad
formal objection to sustaining th
writ on the ground that habeas cor
pus proceeding was not appiicabls~ =
the case. He ga gasdf. df''i ''icwsvsf. mat IL
did not wish TO press the objection
but made 1t simply with legal require
ments.
1--WE have no wish to impede this
case" said MI. Carmody. ''but we wish
to further in every way q thorough in

Lawyer Towns. for Brandt, said he
would agree to a two days adjourn

tested saying;
IF this is an attempt to befog the
case by consultations of attorneys
an attempt to overshade an in1provi-
dent, vile and dishonest act, or a. *
tempt to save some ones facextfen

THE arguments have convinced me-
said Justice Gerard, that this court
probably has no jurisdiction in a ha
beas corpus proceedings in this case.
However. ! would rather not decide be-
fore consulting with authorities, but |
do not believe that this court can in
terfere with the sentence
AS he reserved decision the justice
announced that the arguments for re-
opening the case, to have been argued
this afternoon before Judge Rosaisky
who passed sentence on Brandt will
be postponed until after his decision il

dered.
Whether Brandt will appear before
Judge Rosalsky this afternoon in order
that counsel may ask for a new trial
was problematical
While preparations we're being made
for Brandts appearance in Justice Ge-
rard's court Mr. Towns said:
At the conference in Sing Sing

gave into my possession certain docu-
ment the nature of which cannot be
made public prior to their presenta

result in Brandt's complete vindica-

STATE BOARD
REDUCES TAX
OF "PRU' co.
Gives Decision Against Newark
In Appeal of Insurance
Corporation.
From a staff Correspondent. !

TRENTON, Feb. 1S.--The State
Board of Equalization of Taxes today
rendered a decision in the appeal of
the Prudential Insurance Company,
and reduced the 1911 assessment of
sS1, ,4S3, 800 made by the tax commits
sioners of Newark to $7,S46, 1890. The
Prudential had asked to have the as
sessment reduced to $6,4S2,052.55.
The company based it's appeal in the
main on the decision of the Supreme
Court that the reserved dividend fund
was not taxable. There was, however,
some dispute as to items entering in
the calculations. and today's decision
disposed of those disputes and made
the amount upon which the company
must pay taxes about $1,O00,oOO more
than the amount conceded by the Pru-
Dental.

Its Enforcement Would Compel

Department stores in Newark will

Edge bill, providing for ten-hour

The Edge bill provides that women
shall not be employed for more than
ten hours by daylight, nor more than
eight hours at night
officials of the Board of Trade, rep
resentatives of some of the department
stores and other interests are in Tren-
ton today attending the hearing on the
bill before the committee on corpora
tions, Of which Senator Edge is o
member. 1t is understood that they
are fighting the bill on the grounds
that it Is discriminating, and while of
benefit to employees of factories and
other business. is, in reality, a hard
ship on the employees and the custom
ers of department stores.
What the effect of the bill, IL it

by the protest last summer which fol-
lowed the closing Saturday night of
some of the stores during the hot
weather Complaint after complaint
was received by the officials of those
concerns which closed from customers
who could not shop any other time
than Saturday.

stores and would be so felt in this city
