ENGINEERING 60. OFFICIALS MOTOR
 KILLS YOUNG LAD
DR. JONES AGAIN
 HAILED IN COURT
 BY STATE OFFICER
Dentist Charged With Practic- ing Without License Re-
 leased on Rail.

Dr. Arthur G. Jones, a dentist prac4 ticing in the center of the city, where he has offices in the Read building, was arrested yesterday afternoon by order of the county health officer up- on complaints charging that he Is practicing as full fledged dentist when he merely holds a registration entitling him to practice as an assist ant.
 Posting bonds of $50 for his ap- pearance in the city court this morn Judge Frank T.. Wilder and at the re- quest of Attorney R. G. DeForest, his case was continued for hearing at II o'clock June 8.
 The warrant upon which he was placed under arrest cites chapter 184 of the laws of 1905 and chapter 249 of the laws of 1907 as the statutes which are transgressed.
 County Health Officer George E.. Hill, who issued the warrant, today stated that he issued the order upon complaints received by him subse- quent to the recent trial in the su- perior court, when Jones filed a mandamus to have his registration returned to him.
 Health Offfcer Hill said: The sub stance Of the matter is this. Jones has registration as assistant dentist and no license as a full fledged den- tist That means that he can act as an assistant to full nedged dentists. As matter of fact it is claimed that he is not acting as an assistant but is really acting as a full dedged dentist just as though he had regular dem tistss license T11is is against the statutes, one of which iE an amend gnent to the other ana which are both cited together fin the warrant.
 The case that he brought in the superior court was this: The dental commissioners of the state of Connec- ticut. believing that Jones was prac- ticing un1awfuIly, undertook to re- yoke his registration as an assistant. He brought mandamus proceedings to void that action and return his as- sistant's registration.
 Judge Scott said that the, dental commission had no. power to revoke his registration as an assistant and therefore their act was wrongs zthat it never had been taken away from him and therefore the court could not re- turn to him something which had not been taken away. That however, gives him no right to act in any way but as assistant
 The case has created the most fn- tense interest in dental and social cir cIes and the arrest of the well known doctor today was the subject of con- versation and debate.

 Down Hudson

New York, May 21-The giant liner yaterland broke away from a tug convoy while attempting to make a landing at her dock today and began drifting down the Hudson. carried by the tide. At times she swung broad side across the river.
 The yaterIand, of the Hamburg service, arrived in New York harbor early today on her maiden voyage from Hamburg. Her run yesterday was 544 miles and her average speed an hour was 23.9 knots.
 The vaterland is $50 feet in length, 100 feet beam and has tonnage of 5000

 The vaterland's first cargo were D. o66 barrels of beer and 250 barrels of salf.
 Tn the grip of the strong ebb tide. the big steamship was seemingly all most helpless. She was carried steadily down stream toward the Bat tery.
 After the vessel had drifted more than a mile, the tugs succeeded in getting her in tow again and she was headed upstream under control
 When the Vaterland was headed in for her pier more than 50 tugs had her in charge. As her bows faeared the pier the strong ebb tide caught the vessel at the stern and began to swing her around, straight for a, wooden pier nearby. There was a shouting of orders, the big whistle on the liner boomed and the hawsers on the tugs were let go.
 The vessel began to back under her own power and was soon out in the stream again almost directly in the path of the Lackawanna. ferryboats The tugs began to rnaneuver about her but the big liner slowly drifted southward.
