BAR ASSOCIATION TAKES
UP COHALAN CHARGES

NEW YORK, June 5.-Einar Chrys-
tie, attorney of the grievance COM
mittee of the Bar Association, has@
begun a careful examination OF the
evidence in support of the charges
publicly preferred by John A. Con
molly against Justice Cohalan, of the

day from 4:30 o'clock until nearly I,
it was understood no decision was
reached regarding formal investiga-
ton.
In the absence from the city OF,
Judge William b. Hornblower, presi-
dent of the Bar Association, no
definite method of procedure is likely
to be adopted until there is oppor-
tunity for consultation with him.,
Mr.. Chrystie, however, is in possess
sion of Mr.. Connollys documentary
evidence and is studying it.

SEE CHILD'S HAND
IN POISONED PEN"
cramped Writing on Some Let
ters Point to Youngster.
Sensational Developments.
Isnecinl to the Newarlz star.I

ELIZABETH, N. j., June BE-
lief that a child at times welded the
"poison pen" which wrote defama-
tory letters received by prominent
people of this city in the past three
wears. is the startling development
in the mystery which has stirred the
society folk since Saturday. Mrs. Nell
son L. Pollard was then arrested
charged with being the author of the
missives. It is said that she will
waive the, hearing to be held before
Police Judge owen P. Mahon sitting
as a justice of the peace.
Many of the communications were
written with a typewriter, but others
were in script. The cramped and IL
regular manner in which the latter
were penned at first resulted in the
theory that the writer was attempt
ing to disguise her writing. A closer
examination, however, has resulted
In the belief that the letters were
written by a child at the dictation
of an elder.
Victims of open"
Those now named as recipients of
the letters include George Taylor, of
Orchard street; Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Townsend, of Westminster avenue;
Mrs. Z. P. Price, of Cherry street;
Mrs. Matthew McDougall, wife of the
superintendent of the local plant of
the Singer Manufacturing Company;
Mrs. Camille Barrel, now of Spots
wood; DIR. NJ. A. Shangle, Mrs. j. L.
Barron, of Edgar place; Mrs. Everett
T. Tomlinson, wife of the former
pastor of the Central Baptist
Church; Mrs. Stephen J. Keefe, wife
of Dr. Keefe; Mrs. William Ohm
stead, and many others who have
been mentioned previously.
Another interesting development
in the case was the statement by
Detective Thomas L. Carey that
DR.. H. M. Dunn, Mrs. Pollard's
brother had tried to bride him in an
effort to prevent the arrest of his
sister on the warrant issued on the
affidavit of Mrs. Jones and the addi-
ton of several names to the list of
those who received the scurrilous let
tiers. Dr. Dunn denied that he had
offered any money to Carey.
ciety women have been receiving
newspaper clippings, harmless in the
nature of their contents, but never
theless annoying in their applied In
situations, to which had been at
tached cards of other women high in
the social set of Elizabeth. This is
believed to be the work of the
person who has welded the
poison pen," for in many instances
these persons have been subjected to
the dual annoyance.
This development has put the police
on a still hunt to learn what woman
could have been in position to get
the calling cards.
The statement of Samuel Schleimer
counsel for Mrs. Pollard, that he will
name another woman as guilty OF
welding the poison PEN has caused
stir, and those who have faith In
Mrs. Pollard's innocence are predict
ing a sensation.

HOBOKEN GIRLS VERSES
WIN IN IVY POEM TEST
All Smith College Judges Ac'
claim Miss Deyo.

NORTHAMPTON Mass, June g.
From 100 poems submitted by Smith
College seniors that of Miss Hazel
Gerow Deyo, of Hoboken, N. j., has
been chosen as winner of the annual
ivy poem competition. 1t will be
sung at the ivy planting celebration
on the campus this month.
In spite of the closeness of the con-
test and the excellence of many of
the verses, Miss Deyo's stanzas were
unanimously voted the best.
Miss Deyo was born in Hoboken
May 9, 1890, and is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter C. Deyo, of $50
Hudson street. She was graduated
from the Hoboken High School in
1909 as an honor pupil and the next
fall entered Smith College. Her poem
follows:
June, and white road stretching
away
Into an unknown land
Called by the hours that we may
I. not stay,
We at the cross roads stand.
Hours like rose petals blown astray
Back on the road of yesterday
What is our future-who can say,
Lost in an unknown land?
Wind in the trees goes whispering by,
Here at the border line;
Here meath the glow of summer
sky
We plant our ivy vine,
Linking the hours that swiftly fly
Into a chain as life goes by,
Dimming the past while the fame
burns high
! Over the border line.

pare a line of investigation which will
be more productive than the work OF

cation to date has produced little evil

il rumored that Cameron will be
placed on the stand when the COM
n1ittee reconvenes in the Court House
next Wednesday
The investigation was brought to
close yesterday afternoon by an IN
speetion of the hospital building at
Laurel Hill by the investigators. AS

by DR.. Dickinson was the construc-
ton Of the chapel for the inmates
This is a separate building near the
pavilions, and DR.. Dickinson pointed
out that il was too much in contrast
with the other open and well venti-
lated structures. He feared it would
urove too combining for the patients,
whose chief remedy is plenty of air.

10 the need of more room Tor patients
and attendants. While the commit
tee was inspecting the administra-
tion they saw one application turned
