MEDICAL PROFESSION ON
VERGE OF DISCOVERIES
TspeciaI to the Newark star.I

SPRING LAKE, N. j., June H.
The medical profession is on the verge
of the discovery of serums which will
effect permanent cures in cases of
tuberculosis and cancer, according to
the belief which DR.. Norton L. Will
son. of Elizabeth, expressed last
night in his presidential address be-
fore the Medical Society of New Jer-
sey.
A test of the blood pressure and
the time it takes to clot he declared
a sure way to determine whether or
not a patient was affected by tuber-
culosis. The blood pressure of tuber-
culosis patients, he explained, was
considerably lower than that of per-
sons in normal health, while the blood
of tubercular persons clotted in half
the time that the blood of normal
persons did.
The society commended the Moving
Picture Commission of Newark and
will appoint a physician as medical
adviser.

The two little girls went TO the res

Y. M. C. AS MUST PAY
TAXES LEVIED ON THEM
Newark and Orange Boards Up
held by State Authorities.


TRENTON, N. j., June ii.-Find-
ing that the Young Mems Christian
associations OF Newark and Orange
are not used exclusively for purposes
considered charitable under the conf
mon law, the State Board Of Eauali-
cation Of Taxes today affirmed as
sessnents levied against those prop
critics by the local taxing authori-
ties.
The boards findings are based on
a former decision In the case OF the
trustees of the Y. M. C. A. of Pater-
son VS.. the city of Paterson, to the
effect that the buildings or the as
ISOLATION were not used exclusively
for charitable purposes. The assess
ments the Newark and Orange asso-
Citations asked to be relieved OF were
for 1912.
Contending that the amendment to
the tax act of 1908, which was passed
by the recent Legislature, would ex-
clude from taxation all Y. M. G. A.
property in this State, the Newark
and Orange associations sought to
have the tax removed under the new
law. In deciding against the assoc
Citations on this point the State board
rules that the new law is not retro
active and cannot affect the question
before the board on the present APP
peals.
Henry H. Dawson represented the
Newark Y. NJ c. A, Magoffin & Sig
nor appealed in the interest of the
Orange association and Herbert
Boggs defended the interests of the
city of Newark.

WATER COMPANY

Court Asked by Woman's
Granddaughter to Compel
Transfer Of Bond.

Suit to compel the Passalo Water
Company, Of Bergen county, to recos-
nize the transfer Of one OF It's $1,000
water bonds from the late James At.
klnson. m wealthy and lifelong resi-
dent OF Paterson. to his fiancee, also
deceased. was brought today before
viee-chancellor Stevens, by Miss Jes-
sic Farrell, granddaughter OF the
latter. and administering OF the es-
tate.
In turning the bond over to his
sweetheart Atkinson forgot to regis
ter the transfer and the water COM
pany has refused to credit the trans.
fer on its books. Moreover, its Off.
Gals say, they will not pay the bond
holders when the bond natures, in
1887 unless it Is legally transferred To
her by Atkinson's executors, John e.
Manson, of Ridgewood, and George
A. Meyers. of Paterson.
Atkinson, who lived in Water
street, Paterson, was a director Of
the Paterson Savings Institution and
the First National Bank of Pater-
son. lie ndu become wealthy as a
silk bobbin manufacturer, and was
70 years old when he proposed mar
riage to Mrs. Catherine Farrell, in
1894. She was IS years old herself at
the time, and told him she was un-
able to marry him because she had
a husband living. He proposed that
she divorce him and she did, 1t Is
said. The suit was financed by
Atkinson. according to the testimony
of Henry Hopper, one of his lifelong
friends.
Atkinson gave Mrs. Farrell the bond
in 1895 along with some jewelry and
other things. The marriage was fur
Their delayed by Mrs. Farrells illness
and it was never carried out, for her
fiance died in 1902, still a widower.
Mrs. Farrell died intestate February
II. 1909, and her property descended to
her granddaughter, who was appointed
administrators. The defense set up
that there had been no donative in
tent when the bond was transferred,
and that Atkinson as a business man
was too astute to neglect registering
the bond for seven years If he had in
tended to give it to her absolutely.

SAYS RECOGNITION OF
CHINA MAY BE HARMFUL

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE view
that recognition of the Chinese re-
public by the United States may be
harmfsl to China in the present stu
alton is contained in a letter received
here by Austin P. Brown, a student
of Chinese affairs, from w. c., who
wrote at the direction of Dr. Sun
Yat-Sen. 1t was dated at Shanghai
on May 2, the very day the United
States extended formal recognition.
This country is passing through a
very critical period" said the letter
in part. Great anxiety is felt by the
people. which may plunge the coun-
try into another civil strife. TIE old
sinister forces are still working havoc
in the new regime At this juucture
recognition, though accorded by the
United States, may prove harmful to
the country, as it may be taken as
encouragement to the old element,
which is now wrecking the country.
We hope, however, to reach a peace
full solution without resorting to
physical force"
