SOCIETY DANCES
AS FIRE BURNS
Fireman Discovers Blaze al
Kruger Auditorium During
Hebrew Charity Ball.

The managers of the Hebrew char
ity ball last night had neglected to
apply to Chief Engineer Paul J. Moore
for a fire detail, but upon reading of
the profuse decorations in the hall the
chief decided to send fireman to the
Kruger Auditorium without the ask
ing.
Fireman Max Meyer, of Engine
Company No. u, in Belmont avenue,
was given the detail, and in accord
ance with defined instructions in such
cases, proceeded to make a tour of
inspection of the building. 1t proved
a fortunate trip. In the kitchen the
fireman discovered a fire and imme-
diately communicated with the house
electrician.
There was little time lost in getting
into action. Fireman and electrician
armed themselves with axes and cut
away the casing Of a window opening
on the yard, where the blaze had
taken root, and then by the applica-
ton Of eXtinguishers put the fire out.
The contents of two extinguishers
were used.
The fire was caused by a spark
from the kitchen range, famed to a
red heat by a blower on top of the
range, had lodged in the window cas-
ing and was proceeding to eat into
the woodwork of the casing when the
fireman put in an appearance. This
was at 1918 o'clock. and not one OF
the crowd in the great hall had the
slightest intimation that anything out
of the ordinary had taken place.

AWARNINC TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly the other
organs cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics Bright's disease, which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1912 in the State of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, Is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
| attention, and wish a sample bottle,
write to DR.. Kllmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. Mention this paper, enclose
ten cents and they will gladly forward
1t to you by Parcels Post.
Swamp-Root is sold by every drug

STATE NEAR END
IN PARISH CASE
Defense of Alleged Murderer to
Be Short-Jury May Re-
tire Today.

The State is expected to conclude
its case today against Henry Parish,
the young Italian accused of the kill
/ ing of Antonio Di Donate in front of
Is Cutler street on the night OF
! August % last Victor D'Aloia, of
counsel for Parish states that the de-
Tense will not occupy more than an
hour, and the case may go to the jury
| late today.
Parisi's defense is that he shot Di
Donate in self defense. Several wit
nesses were called today who gave
conflicting testimony on the number
of shots fired. Samuel Julianna. who
conducts a saloon at Is Cutler street,
near the scene of the shooting, gave
clearer testimony than any of the
other witnesses. He said that he heard
three shots in quick succession. Coun-
sellor D'Aloia tried to establish that
Julianna attempted to influence Pariei
in the selection, but gave no hint of
the pertinence of this line of ques-
tioning. Julianna denied that he had
done this.
The witnesses all agreed that three
shots were fired, but differed in their
testimony on the intervals between
the reports. Julianna illustrated the
sounds of the shots as he had heard
them by clapping his hands sharply
three times in quick succession.
The first direct evidence tending to
prove deliberate murder was adduced
by the State when Frank lombard
was placed on the stand lombard
swore that he was with Parish before
the shooting and heard him say he
had quarrel with Di Donate.
"As We were talking about it Di
Donate approached and Parish pulled
out a gun and shot at him." said the
witness.
The defense strove to nullify his
testimony by showing that his mind
was weak. He could not remember
the year he came to the country and
"a score of other things J. Victor
D'Aloia asked about. He has been
and is still in custody in the jail in
default of $4,000 bail.
If the evidence for the defense is
short, as promised by D'Aloia. the
case may be presented to the jury late
this afternoon.
Rumore spread about the Court
House today that New York gunner
were among the crowd of witnesses
outside the courtroom where Henry
Parish is on trial for murder. The
rumors apparently started because
the defense, it is said, has subpoenaed
New York detectives to testify.

URGES A REGIONAL
BANK FOR BOSTON
Harvard Professor Tells Nc.
Adoo and Houston Hub" Is 7
Entitled to Institution.

BOSTON, Jan. 9.-Members of sew
eral Boston banking houses and rep
resentatives of various New England
industrial organizations presented
their views on the question of the es-
adjustment of regional reserve
bank in this city at the opening to-
day of a two days hearing by the
reserve bank organization committee.
Secretary McAdoo, of the treasury
department, and Secretary Houston.
of the department of agriculture,
the hearing at the Chamber Of Com
merce.
In opening the hearing, Secretary
McAdoo said that while the commit
tee recognized that there was a
friendly contest between different
sections for the establishment Of re-
gional banks, it was obliged to con-
slider the problem an economic one in
the broadcast sense, and for this rea-
son was investigating general indus
trial conditions in the various dis
tricts.
Statistics showing the increase in
the past ten years in cotton, wooden
and shoe manufacturing in New Eng
land were presented by Edwin G.
Preston, former secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. who favored
making the six New England States
regional bank district, with Boston
as the centre.
The greater portion of the forenoon
session was occupied by o. M. w.
Sprague. professor of banking at
Harvard University, who held that
Boston should have a regional insti-
tuition rather than a branch of one
in New York because a bank there
would maintain a steady low dis
count rate.
1.-THE establishment in the north
eastern section of the country of one
large bank at New York" he said
would be unavoidable and contrary
to the spirit of the act. There should
be at least three banks between
Maine and Florida, and four, If the
total of twelve authorized is estab-
lished in the country. Boston should
have a bank for Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and a part of Connecticut,
with branch institution at Hart
ford"

Death of meadow Hermit"
Alexander Brown, Not Due
to Violence, Say Police

An examination by the police and
the prosecutors Office into the death
of Alexander Brown, who died in the
City Hospital Tuesday night, salts
fled the authorities that his death
was not due to violence.
Brown was suffering from pneu-
nhonia, and this was believed to have
caused his death. An autopsy per-
formed yesterday revealed a con-
cealed fracture of the skull and
County Physician Mckenzie ordered
an investigation.
Brown was taken to the hospital
Sunday morning from a hall in the
rear of q saloon conducted by Israel
Berman, at Malvern and Van Buren,
streets. According to Berman's story
Brown had often been allowed to
sleep in the hall. He had come into
the saloon Saturday night, Berman
He refused refreshment, and went to
sleep in his accustomed place in the
rear hall.
Sunday morning, Mr.. Berman told
the authorities, Brown complained of
feeling worse, and was sent to the
hospital The investigation was made
by Lieutenant F'ohs, of police head
quarters; Plainclothesmen Chenowith
and Miller, of the Third precinct, and
IOStCulOI DtltCliNS htycIS.
Brown was familiar figure to
many residents in the Ironbound Dis
trict, as a hermit who made his home
in lonely hut on the meadows. 1t
is averred that he never lived a
month in one place" and that he
moved the hut to various parts of the
meadows. Brown voted regularly on
every election day, and it was his
proud boast that he had "the largest
backyard of any man in town" The
broad expanse of meadows is the
backyard" to which he referred.
He made a scanty livelihood by
fishing. He smoked his catches in his
hut and sold them to saloonkeepers
for small sums. He was sixty-two
years old, and old residents say that
he had lived a hermit's life lever since
they can remember" A brother of
the dead man, Charles Brown, lives at
IS Wheeler Point road, and he will
probably take care of the body.

Charges Osteopath With
Practising Without License

T. F. Gauzke, of 68 Elizabeth ave-
nue., was arraigned before Judge
Hahn, in the First Criminal Court to-
day. on a charge of practising osteo-
pathy without a license, on complaint
of Adolphus Fl. Corwin, superinten-
dent of the Association for the Pre-
vention of Vice.
Mr. Corwin contended that the
plaintiff had not complied with the
legislative act of 1913, which required
all practising osteopaths to register
with the county clerk.
Charles Pfeiffer, who appeared for
the defendant, stated to the court that
his client practised in this city for
eight years and that he was awaiting
a decision of the Supreme Court on a
similar case from Hudson county,
therefore Judge Hahn paroled Gauzke
to await the opinion of the higher
tribunal.

hotel interests during the past three
eyars in Trenton did not prevent his
reelection as state senator last No
Vember. He regards his rejection as
an endorsement of his views by the
Atlantic City voters, and he is there
fore more eager than ever to push
liberal excise legislation during the
session that will begin next week.
The latest excise proposition con-
firms the impression that the excise
question may be one of the most
lively factors in the coming session
of the Legislature.
One of the first counter proposals
that will be made will be to frame
the proposed amendment so that the
people under commission government
shall be allowed to decide not only
whether Sunday liquor selling shall
be authorized, but whether any liquol
selling at all shall be allowed. In
other words. the church declarations
and other temperance agencies claim
that if there is to be any such home
rule amendment inserted in the
Walsh act it shall be also possible
for the people in those municipalities
to wipe the saloons out altogether.

ARMED FOR STRIKE
IN SOUTH AFRICA
Entire Citizen Defense Force
Called Out to Offset Vio-
Ience in Walk-out.

CAPETOWN, Union of South Afri-
ca, Jan. 9.-The entire active citizen
defense force of the Transvaal was
called out by proclamation issued to-
day after an urgent meeting of the
cabinet to consider the situation
brought about by the railroad strike.
This action was taken on the ground
that serious disorders were antici-
pated.
The burghers of several districts Of
the Orange Free State also were
called to arms.
General Jan Christian SHUTS, min
lister of defense of the union of South
Africa, and Henry Burton, minister
of railways, departed hurriedly for
johannesburg after the cabinet coun-
Gil had ended.
An attempt to blow UP train was
made here today by strike sympathiz-
ers at johannesburg. The explosive,
consisting of three sticks of dynamite
with a detonator attached, was dis
covered by a foreman as he was in
speeding the line between Witpoortje
and Luipaardsvlei. A crowded pas
senger train from Zeerust was due
at the time. The dynamite had been
fixed to the track in such a way that
its explosion was inevitable on the
impact of train.
BLOEMFONTBIN, Union of South
Africa, Jan. 9.-The railroad strike
spread suddenly to this city today.
Every man in the railroad workshops
laid down his tools and walked out
The railroad yards and stations
