Led by the Wolf

He was just about to throw himself
over the parapet when he felt tongue
licking his hand.
He looked down. It was the wolf Homo.
The wolf turned as If 1t wanted Gwyn-
plaine to follow him. He did so, and the
wolf led him to a vessel moored at a
dock. On the deck Of the vessel he saw
the old van of Ursus.
The vessel was one of those "paunches'
from Holland, with two decks--one for
ward, one aft. Between the two half
decks lay the van.
Following the wolf, Gwynplaine descend
ed a. gangplank and stood on board the
ship-the ship upon which Ursus, in obed-
ience to the commands of the law, was
about to leave England.
The steps of the booth were lowered
the door stood ajar. Inside he heard a
voice-the voice of Ursus. The voice 80

Ursus was speaking to himself as was

Seeking Rest

Midnight was sounding from st. Paul's
as Gwynplaine wandered across London
bridge and entered the lanes of South
wark. His experience in the House Of
Lords had quite bewildered him.
He wandered away alone, his only idea
being to reach the green Box and Ursus
and Dea, again. In such cases as his

anything but that-a desire to see Dea.

Dea grew up to be very beautiful
and Ursus arranged a little play for
her and Gwynplaine, which took Inn
mediately with the crowd.
Dea, being blind, could not see the
hideous face of Gwynplaine, but with
her mental eyes she saw him as he
was, not as the cruelty of man had
made him.

same instructions as to what the code
means" he said adding that it was
most unfortunate that the Board of
Health should be held up to public
rldicule as a result of the actions of
members of its own plumbing depart
ment
DIR. Wrightson, a. member of the
board but not member of the COM
mittee, who was an Interested listener
TO the proceedings, asked Whealan
whether he considered that the oc-
cupants of the building would be
just as safe with the plumbing in
stalled as it is as they would be If
it were put in according to the code
as understood by the other inspect
ors. To this Whealan replied that he
didn't believe 1t would make any
difference.
Inspector Jacob Kull stated that
the contractors were notified to
change the plans to conform to the
regulations just as soon as the dis
crepancy was discovered, which was
when they were just starting on the
work.
The suspension of the two inspect
ors will be brought before the full
board for approval at its next regu-
lar meeting.

HEALTH INSPECTORS
UNDER SUSPENSION
John L. Whealan and Edward
P. Coulson Censured for Ac-
ton in City Hospital Case.

Plumbing inspectors John L.
Whealan and Edward p. Coulson, of
the Board of Health. were suspended
last night by Health Officer David
D. Chandler, following an executive
session of the committee on SANTA
ton. Whealan and Coulson recently
testified in favor of Jaehnig & Peo-
pies in an action brought by the
Board of Health against that concern
for infraction of the sanitary code In
the installation Of plumbing at the
City Hospital. The case was won by
Jaehnig & Peoples on the weight of
evidence.
It was brought out during g hear
ing prior to the executive session
that Inspector Coulson had himself
drawn the plans for the plumbing
work In the building, and that these
plans, emitting the requirements
over which the suit was brought, had
been approved by the plumbing de-
partment OF the board. although when
the omission was discovered the COM
pany had been notified that 1t must
follow the code in the matter. Coul-
son admitted that he had drawn the
plans, which act was q violation of a
veyed to the inspectors two years ago
by Mr.. Chandler. He declined to say
how much he had been paid for draw
ing the plans when urged to do so
by Commissioner Foyle, who declared
he was sure such work was not done
for love"
The six plumbing inspectors of the
department were examined by the
committee during the course of the
hearing and each was asked in par
ticular two specific questions, namely,
was the plumbing installed accord
ing to the code?" and WAS section
1877 violated, which states that all
traps must be protected from siphon-
age and hack pressure and the drain
age system ventilated by special lines
of vent pipes?"
Four of the inspectors declared that
in their judgment the plumbing had
not been installed according to the
generally neutrality-suspicious. of
the code and that the section specified
had been violated. The other two,
who were Coulson and Whealan, ex-
pressed opposite views.
In reply to. a question, Whealan
stated that it had been his practise
to pass floor drains without ventila-
ton in warehouses, garages and such
buildings in various parts of the city.
He said that was the way he under
stood the code to be interpreted.
Coulson said he had taken the same
view and that the rule was meant
to cover only traps under floor fix
lures.
These statements moved Health
officer Chandler to exclaim angrily
that in placing their individual
opinions on the Interpretation of the
code as against the instructions that
they had received they were wrong,
while Commissioner MacLane de-
clared that, in his opinion, the plumb
ing department should be reorganized.
Every member should carry the

Mass Meeting Is Planned
for Benefit of the Blind

The interests of the blind through
out the State were discussed at a
meeting of the executive committee
OF the New Jersey Association of the
Blind. Tentative plans to hold a mass
meeting in the near future were out
lined. The meeting of the committee
was held in the Free Public Library
and DR.. Edgar S. Weirs. of Mont
clair, chairman of the committee, pre-
sided.
The mass meeting will be held in
this city after the opening of the
coming Legislature. Several promi-
nent speakers will be asked to ad-
dress those present on questions re-
garding the betterment of conditions
for the blind and how to prevent
others from becoming afflicted and on
needed legislation. The committee
will decide later the date and place
of the meeting.

PIANIST HELDFOR
ATTACK ON WOMAN
"Prof." Claude Leroy Victim Of
Detectives Trap--Fined
for Fortune Telling.

After falling into a trap set by
three detectives, Professor" Claude
Leroy, a palmist. of 469 Broad street
was fined $25 for telling fortunes by
Acting Judge Oehring. in the Second
Precinct Police Court today. He was
also held in $500 bail for the Grand
Jury on q charge of having attempted
to assault a woman who went to him
last night to have her palm read.
A number of complaints reached
Chief of Police Long to the effect that
Leroy has shown too keen an inter-
est in young women who have asked
him to tell their fortunes.
The chief finally ordered an investi-
cation. Lieutenants Harris and
Quinn, of police headquarters, and
Detective VollS, of the Second pre-
cinct, planned to watch Leroy
rooms, at Orange and Broad streets.
Their vigil ON two nights was UNI
awaiting but they persisted. They
we're watching the place last night
when a well-dressed woman went in.
An hour and a half later she came
out, apparently greatly perturbed,
according to the detectives. They
asked her what had happened, and
she said that Leroy, after reading her
hand and telling her about his ocult
and magnetic powers, attempted 10
assault her. Leroy was arrested.
Lieutenant Harris made the charge
of attempted assault against him. The
woman's name appears as Mrs. Anna
Watson on the complaint The de-
tectives say that they promised to
prevent her address from becoming
public and to shield her from public
ity as far as possible, but she refused
to make a complaint in person herself.
She will be subpoenaed before the
grand jury.
