ELM|RA WON'T TAKE

Prisoners Sentenced to the Re-

Is IT LAW OR UST RULE :?
IIabcas Corpus to Dispose of Hart, Al

Germs.
Is IT LAW OR UST RULE

Through petition for a writ Of habeas
corpus signed yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice Hendrick it developed that
a number Of prisoners sentenced in New
York county to the Elmira Reformatory
in the past few months have been found
to have germs of various contagious
diseases, and for this reason the reforma
tory refuses to accept them.
The petition was submitted by Mrs.
Bridget Hart Of $40 East Seventeen street,
through her attorney, Willard F. carp.
She said that her son, Thomas II years
old, pleaded guilty TO assault in the third
degree on January ~ last and was sem
fenced to Elmira by Judge O'Sullivan.
but Is now held in the Tombs on the ground
that he has so-called meteorological
germs Of diphtheria. although he is not
sick. and az I am informed by DR.. Mcclure,
the Tolnbs physician, such germs may be
present in any person.
Mrs Hart contended that her sons
detention at the Tombs is unwarranted
and asks the court to direct Warden Fallon
to send him to the reformatory.
Mr.. carp said yesterday that there is
law prohibiting penal institutions from
receiving prisoners suffering from con-
tagious or infectious diseases. but that
last October the authorities at Elmira
extended this law to cover persons carry
ing the germs Of any such diseases. Since
that time all persons sentenced here to
Elmira have been examined by the assis-
tant physician at the Tombs, and the
cultures taken are examined in the Board
Of Health laboratory.
Mr. Earp said that the Board of Health
reported that young Harts cultures
showed diphtheria germs, but that in
the three months he has been in the Tombs
he had showed no signs of diphtheria.
If the boy really ia in delicate con-
ditiom he ought not to be kept in little
cell in the Tombs with another prisoner, +"
said Mr.. carp, where the disease will
have every encouragement and he will
bs unable to throw Off the germs. |
am afraid he will get no credit for the
period he has spent in the Tombs. and
that IL another reason why the matter
il brought into the Supreme Court"
Mr.. carp said that Warden Fallon and
DR.. Mcclure are anxious to have the
matter tested because there are other
prisoners held for the same reason and
the Tombs is overcrowded.

LARGE BELGIAN FIRM

IMPORTANT MOTOR CAR MANUFACTURE.
Write GEORGES GODAR,
IS Rue Joseph Brand, Brussels, Belgium

natl it became noised about the corri-
dors to-day that William H. Corbin.
general counsel for the Lehigh Valley
Railroad. had submitted statements to
Attorney General Wilson initiating
against Senator Fitzherbert in connection
with the proposed abandonment of the
Morris Canal. a bill for which is pending
in the Legislature.
Senator Fitzherbert. botn IN person and
through a near relative, approached the
legal department Of, the Lehigh Valley
with the suggestion that he would like
TO he retained as counsel to further the
abandonment scheme This suggestion
is alleged to have been made after Senator
FitZherbert had conveyed to the legal
department the information that he was
opposed to the pending bill. The rail
road company, it is said, wished to pre-
vent the matter becoming public immedi-
ately, fearing that it might prejudice
the plan Of abandonment. The posi-
bility of another investigation by the
Senate has put the Democrats on edge,
and they would like to have the whole
matter cleaned up by the retirement OF
Fitzherbert.
1t is admitted that after the vigorous
statements made in defence OF Senator
Fitzherbert and the declarations OF their
belief in his innocence the Democrats
would be placed in a rather anomalous
position by urging his resignation. but
even this is regarded as preferable to an
other scandal such as that resulting from
the Senator's q action in connection with the
two acetelyne gas bile.

TRENTON y. j.. March 14.-Having z
voted for the acquittal Of Senator Richard
Fitzherbert on the charges involving him
in bribery scandal and having prevented
his expulsion from the Senate by their
united votes the Democratic minority
believe that their Morris county colleague

The Democrats practically agreed to-

Fitzherbert urging him to give up his

maintained as to the contents of the
letter il is believed that one Of the grounds
urged was that Senator Fitzherbert had
become persona non grata to the ma jority
and that his usefulness az a member of
the Senate seemed to be at an end. II il
understood that this course was agreed
upon when the Senators held their con-

met his son, Raymond, on business
street in Denver today, after a search
for more than ten years for the boy
who ran away from his home in Brus-
sells at the age of nine The elder
Lievens came here from st. Louis a
week ago. Today he accosted a young
man on the street and asked regard
ing the way to a certain downtown
rooming house. The young man rec
ognized his interrogator to be Bel
gian, and in replying spoke in his ma
tive tongue. In the conversation that
followed each learned that the other
came originally from his own native
town.
This led the elder Lievens to close
" scrutinize the boys features.
IF your name is Raymond, you are
my son." he said
The boy admitted that his name
was Raymond and that he had run
away from home in Brussels ten years
ago. He lived in Rock Valley, Ia, for
years.
