OF MONTCLA|R

Woman, Who Died Under
Suspicious Circumstances.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. Is
City Prosecutor Delaney has begun
an investigation in hope of solving
the mystery surrounding the death of
Mrs. Hannah Cross, former Belle Of
Maiden Lane" and a close personal
friend of Mrs. Russell Sage, who had
home at 176 Orange road. Montclair,
N j., where she resided with her
son. Thomas Cross.
New facts that startled the prose-
cutor have been discovered in con-
neetion with Mrs. Cross's demise and
the alleged looting of her s1,000,o00
fortune. The elimination of her
body may be ordered because of the
new information, but the prosecutor
said he would not decide on that
step until after a conference with
Coroner Phelan today
According to a seemingly reliable
informant, fifty grains of codein sui
phate, sufficient to kill forty persons
were delivered to the Cross residence
on the morning of Mrs. Cross's death.
A druggist, whose shop is near the
Cross mansion, admitted to the prose-
cutor that prescription for codein
sulphate was delivered that day, No

repeat the order, but refused to do
so without another prescription.
Codein sulphate is a powerful alkali

JUDGE TENNANT
WILSON'S GUEST
Especial to the Newark star !


WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-Among
the New Jersey visitors to this city
yesterday was George G. Tennant,
judge of the Court of Common Pleas,
Hudson county. He was the guest of
Presidents Secretary Joseph P. Tum-
ulty and Mrs. Tumulty in the eve
ming, but in the early hours of the
day he spent considerable time at
the White House. He also attended
President Wilson's reception to the
judiciary. This is an annual event
on the list of social functions. Repre-
sentative James A. Hamill and Mrs.
Hamill were also at this reception.
The appearance upon the scene Of
Judge Tennant revived discussion on
the Federal judgeship, to which It
has been announced the President is to
appoint Thomas @. Haight, counsel to
the Hudson Board OF Freeholders. The
forwarding of Mr.. Haight's name to
the Senate for confirmation is being
delayed. and it is said owing to o.
difference of opinion held by United
States Senator William Hughes on
the matter.
Judge Tenant was among those who
were spoken of as candidates for the
place along with Mr.. Haight and
there was no definite selection made
until Secretary of War Lindley NJ.
Garrison indicated that in his opinion
Mr. Haight was the most available
man for the place.
Despite this discussion it was stated
positively that Judge Tenants visit
had no political significance and there
is no change in the intention TO send
Mr. Haight's name to the Senate. In
fact, it was stated that Judge Ten
nant's visit to the capitol was en-
tirely of a social nature and had no
relation to the fling to the vacant
judgeship.

showed that the price of fish to the
consumer in this city was greater
than that of the best of meat, when
the entrails and waste were taken into
