PLATT ADAMS
DENIES He SOLD
PRIZES HE WON
Famous Newark Athlete Wants
Charges of Professionalism
Probed.

Platt Adams, the local athlete, who
has achieved a worldwide reputation
in all-around athletics, this afternoon
denied the charge that he had pledged
and received money for some Of his
prizes won in amateur competition.
The accusation against Adams was
made In three affidavits published In
the New York Evening Mail. Under
the rules of the Amateur Athletic
Union the charges lodged against
Adams, if true, would operate to
change the Newarker's status to that
Of professional. Though Adams has
competed in the athletic world under
the colors of the New York Athletic
Club, he has lived in Newark almost
all his life. He resides at 445 Mt.
Prospect avenue.
T. 1. Glynn. Max Theimer and Peter
Lawrence Schenck, all of New York.
are the three men who subscribe to
the affidavits published in the news
paper. Two of the afiants claim that
Adams sold them rings that he had
won as prizes at athletic meets. The
local athlete admits that he sold the
men named rings, but denies that
they were prizes he had won. but
had been purchased by him with his
own money. He stated that Schenck
still owes him money for an automo-
bile that he had sold to him.
"As far as any charges go that
have sold any OF my prizes" declared
Adams, they are entirely without
foundation. 1 have every one of my
prizes in my possession and can and
will produce them RI called upon.
only hope that the A. A. u. will take
the matter up and call upon me to
produce them, for 1 will be able TO
prove my case.
"With reference to the alleged aff1-
davit of Glynn that l accompanied
him to a New York jeweler and dis
posed of medals there, my only COM
ment Is that would like to see him
prove his case. 1 never sold any of
my prizes to any jeweler, and no jew
eler has thing to prove that I did. -
The charge against Adams would
make his case somewhat similar to
that of James Thorpe, who, after he
had been proved to be professional,
was forced to return his Olympic
prizes. In Its story the Evening Mail
calls upon Adams to produce all the
medals and trophies he has won since
his connection with the New York
Athletic Club.
In one Of the aff1davits T. I. Glynn
swears that on January 9. 1914,
Adams sold him (Glynn) one of his
prizes, a gold ring with small dia-
mond in 1t. For this Glynn says he
paid Sc. During the fall of 1912 and
up to March, 1914, Glynn further
swears, he frequently accompanied
Adams to a downtown jeweler, where
in his presence the jeweler would
accept Adams's prizes, which I
understood were to be credited to
Adams's account"
Swears He Bought Ring.
Peter Lawrence Schenck, In the Sec
ond affidavit, asserts that he bought a
ring from Adams, which Adams said
was a first prize. Schenck further
states that Adams had in hie

WARD DISPUTES
KEPT RAYMOND
BUSY FOR TIME
Mayor elect Remained Non-
Committal, However, and
Then Made Selections.
WHEN ALL FELL OUT HE
MADE QUICK SETTLEMENT
The Thirteenth and Sixteenth
Wards Failed to Agree, So In
coming Executive Acted.

Mayor-elect Raymond certainly
handed out a full measure of sur
prises, with his list of appointments
yesterday. II all the talk one hears
is entitled to credence. Not that
some of the appointments, such as
several on the board of trustees of the
Free Public Library, were not ex-
pected as a. matter of course, but 1t
was In regard to other matters that
the surprises came in.
Mr.. Raymond had kept his own
counsel sure enough and the caicula-
tions Of the prognosticators miscued
as a result.
The cup of disappointment was
passed around with marked LIBERAL
ity, and as there wasn't enough Of
delectable things to go around, the
expectant ones had to content them
selves with the dregs.
It has been hinted about that Harri-
son r. Van Duyne, John L. Reid and a
Sixteenth warder, said to be Philip
Turkes, were slated for the three as
sessment commissioners, that Harry
B. O'Connell was out OF 1t, because
of a failure of Sixteenth ward Re-
publicans to come to an agreement
on an Endorsement proposition and
some dissatisfaction on the part of
the county committee with O'Conneii.
The latter had made an independent
fight for the shrievalty nomination.
Up to within a few short hours before
the score was read out, O'ConnelPs
friends were in the "doleful dumps" +"
Mr.. Raymond Surprises Them.
But 10 and behold. the mayor-elect
shoots to the front and out pops
O'Connel's name with those Of Har-
rison r. Van Duyne and Michael De
Vita, who had not been seriously
mentioned in connection with the as
sessment commissionership, and moth
ing was heard Of either Mr.. Reid or
Mr. Turkes.
Rumor at once started to whisper
that the mayor-elect and fired N.
Dalrymple had tilted" over the sug-
gestion that Mr.. Reid be named on
the commission, but If there was any
thing to that the latter dispeiled the
impression this morning. Smiling and
to all appearances unconcerned, Mr..
Reid said:
-Of course, II is beyond 1ry power
to prevent rumors and talk. Whether
or not / sought an appointment or
whether or not l didn't seek one, my
answer to everything is that am not
a disappointed person. Do look 1t? ?''
asked Mr.. Reid, laughingly, and he
certainly did not show any signs of
disappointment or chagrin. Take
this from me-" he continued, az am a
loyal friend of our Republican mayor
elect, and will continue to be loyal to
him. I'll be loyal and you may spell
It with a capital L. Can l say more
in answer 10 the stories that some
persons are putting in circulation? Is
it necessary for me to say more?" and
with this Mr.. Reid passed down Broad
street, waving his hand pleasantly TO
his interviewer.

commission that Mr.. Raymond is un-

PACT REACHED IN
ONE CROKER DEAL
L Lederer Estate to Be Restored
to Son on Payment OF
ST 1854.

Bv an agreement Just concluded by
those interested in untangling the
affairs of Roland D. Crocker, Samuel
IL, Lederer, of Paterson, will have re-
stored to him on payment of Sl,SS4 his
interest in the estate of his father,
DevId l.. I,ederer, which he sold to
Crocker in 1907 for $4,000. Lederef
saws $4,000 was all that he received
of the 10000.
Bernard Katz, of Paterson, executor
of the will. declares he has already
maid Crocker $S1S6 from the estate.
This leaves a balance of sl,s64 which
Crocker's trustee is interested In se-
curing for the Crocker estate.
BY the agreement Lederer is to pay
the referee this amount to be held by
him pending the settlement of the
trustees claim to the s1,S64 and also
the claim to the money of George w.
Clark.
Clark is Crocker's uncle. Crockef
placed the assignment of the life in
terest In the Lederer estate In his
uncle's name. Former Judge Cecil H.
MacMahon Is the trustee for Croker,
and claims the s1S64 still due from
the Lederer estate for the benefit OF
Crocker's cred tors.
Clark says he gave Crocker $4,000
which the latter invested in the Led
erer assignment. Mr.. MacMahon
claims the money paid for the assign
nent belonged to CrocHer and that
the balance due on 1t should go to
the alleged bankrupt's estate. Lederer
says that Clark has no interest in the
assignment.

Warm Spell With Slush
Puts an End to Skating
in the Parks of the City

The warm spell following yester-
days rain has put an end to skating
in the parks in this city for the pres
ent. The rain and snow which fell
yesterday formed heavy slush on
the ice. and the weather has not been
cold enough to freeze this mixture
solidly.
The slush has formed on upwards
of nine inches of ice, however, and
short cold snap will put the ice in good
skating condition again. This condition
exists on the lakes in Branch Brook
and Weequahic parks. The lakes In
the suburbs of the city. however, are
said to be in better condition.

Mr.. Justice Holmes has the reputa-
ton of citing more peculiar cases from
the old law books than any other
member of the supreme court. He
dug up an additional one Saturday to
the amusement of his associates,
when it was contended in libel suit
that the declaration was insufficient
because the offenses were not stated
properly.
THAT leads me to recall case In
the old books" said the justice, where
an indictment set forth that the &C
cused struck a man on the head, split
ting the skull until portion fell
down on either shoulder, and the
court held the indictment defective
because it did not allege that the man
was killed"
The justice observed that 1t was a
hair-splitting decision, and he didn't
intend it as pun, either-New York

The form which good dairy cattle
posses results from the milk produc-

milk, it is necessary that COW Cor
a bull if he becomes the sire of cows
capable of producing a large guam

developed. Good producing COWS and
good dairy sires invariably have good
dairy form, because it is the high de-
gree of development of these parts
known as the digestive, secretive, cir
culatory and nervous systems which
give the dairy animal the dairy
form.
A COW that has good dairy form

part of the body which indicates ner-

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
Strong Constitution-Real Good
Sres Are Rare Thing.

By PROF. w. J. KENNEDY. Iowa Sta
tion.)
In selecting dairy cattle the real
test must be the scales and the Bah
cock tester The COW is a machine to
convert food into milk; thus she must
have large middle and a strong con-
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have a large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in, appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean in ap-
pearance; the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch In selecting herd bulls either
mature animals which have Already
demonstrated their worth as sires or
younger animals from high-testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest will always fol-
low the use of mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records. A
good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old; in
fact, as long as he is sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only Of old age.
All breeders of dairy cattle should
secure yearly tests on each and every
COW in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. 1t is the cow
that stays by her job that is really val
liable.
