MAN DRAGGED TRYING
TO STOP RUNAWAY TEAM

In heroic effort to stop team of
runaway horses as they dashed mad
ly down Frelinghuysen avenue this
afternoon, Charles Wood, of So FIRE.
linghuysen avenue, was dragged
along the pavement for a distance
of 100 feet before the team came to
a stop when the wagon pole broke
upsetting the wagon.
That Wood escaped serious injury
is regarded as miracle by those
along the avenue who saw the ACCT
dent, as the wagon had snapped off
eight small trees along Sherman av-
enue just before turning into Freling-
huysen avenue. Wood was badly
shaken up and scratched but was
able to go to his home unassisted.
The team was frightened while
standing in front of a store in Sher-
man avenue, near Hunter street.
Wood saw the team approaching
shortly after they started on their
wild run and as they passed he made
a successful grab for the reins and
was carried off his feet, but he re-
tanned his hold on the lines. The
weight of his body on the reins and
the frequent contact with trees along
the way caused the pole to break and
the wagon was overturned, scattering
its load of eggs for yards around.

IN DEFENDANTS FAVOR

Fice-Chancellor Howell today filed
an opinion in the suit of ]. C. Con-

Nolan, of 474 North Clinton street,
East Orange, to foreclose a mortgage
made in March, 1893, for $133 by
Nolan on property he still owns in
Lindsey place. East Orange. He de-
cided in favor of Nolan.
Nolans defense that he made the
mortgage under duress and that it
did not represent debt. At the hear
ing a few weeks ago Nolan admitted
that he had forged the name Burton
& Conover, a former Orange con-
tracing firm, to mechanics lien,
so he could get money from a build
ing and loan association.
ce-Chancellor Howell said he was
satisfied that Nolan was in the po-
sition of one who was acting not
openly, freely, independently and art
lessly, but of one who was under
stress of mind, under constraint and
unwillingly.

TURKS TO MARCH
TO ADR|ANOPLE
Move Expected to Give Govern
ment Greater Prestige
at Home.

ONSTANTINOPLE, July 16.-The
government is determined to push
forward Ottoman troops as far as the
stronghold of Adrianople captured by
the Bulgarians after prolonged
siege during the recent Balkan war.
Although official circles in Constan-
tinople are reticent on the subject, it
is understood that such a forward
step is the deliberate plan of the gov
eminent. 1t intends to take this bold
action not only because of the ma
terial advantages to be gained, but
because of the moral effect it will
have on Turkeys internal situation.
1t is expected that by this means
the position or the government will
be strengthened and consolidated. and
it is felt that even if the powers in
sist on bringing pressure to bear to
compel the maintenance of the fu-
ture frontier line between Turkey and
Bulgaria, from Enos on the AEGEAN
Sea to Midia on the Black Sea, Tur-
key will yet be in a position to en-
force the autonomy of the province
of Thrace.

HOSPITAL STAFF
IN SECRECY VOW
New Boards Probe of Misman-

of Unusual Course.
Especial to the Newark start

JERSEY CITY, N. j.. July 16.-The
conditions revealed today to the
Board Of Advisors,
probing alleged Encouragement of
the City Hospital, are such that each
physician, inferno, nurse and helper
whose testimony was taken was
sworn to secrecy.
1t was indicated that there would
be a complete overhauling of the af-
fairs of the institution.
81 have been through investiga-
tions BEFORE" was the only comment
DR.. Mortimer Lampson, head of the
hospital, would make. His wife was
equally non-committal as to the
charges made against her by the
committee of hospital physicians who
complained to Mayor Pagan.
The alleged scanty food supply
which so aroused the attendants, as
well as the other accusations against
the Lampsons, are only minor details
Of the grievances of those employed
Ill the lHSlllullOHy IL Is NOW llllIu-
ated.
I'VE plan to make our inquiry COM
plete and effective in every detail.
There should be no flaws in such an
institution as the City Hospital"
said Thomas J. Stewart, head of the
new board.
"Petticoat rule" is the phrase hint
ed at in Jersey City medical circles
as the cause of the trouble. DR..
Lampson is in his seventies. His
wife Is hardly more than half his
age. Assertions that relatives of the
couple hold places in the hospital
have not tended to heal the breach.
One result has been attained by
the house physicians in their demand
for better conditions. Since the in
stitution first gained publicity few
days ago the physicians and nurses
have been sitting down TO meals they
say would please the most exacting.
