affidavit in the Supreme Court yester-

Mrs. Husson alleged that the chill

old, were being i'll treated at the home
of family named Alters, in whose

After her complaint to the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren, said Mrs. Husson, the boys were
taken away by Mrs. Louise r. Park, a
friend of the physician, and the mother
did not know their whereabouts.
DR.. Husson denied the charges of ILL.,
treatment and said that his wife had
TO interest in the children except as
means to annoy him. He said that he
has taken the children on a months
vacation, and asked for an injunction
to prevent Mrs. Husson from seeing
them.

'SOUATTER' TACTICS
HOLD UP RAILWAY
Jersey Saloon Owners Defy
Contractors When Gang Tries
to Install Siding.

Armed with comfortable chairs and
evening newspapers, James Murphy and
Harry Inglehart, two Newark saloon
owners, sat down in the path of
proposed street railway siding in front
of their places of business yesterday
and defed the contractors to proceed.
Murphy and Inglehsrt have been riv-
ais in business, but yesterday when
gang of laborers appeared and pre-
pared to dig some post holes the pair
united against the enemy.
For hours the laborers stood around
with picks, shovels and other imple-
ments, getting their 81 so a day and
not doing a lick. A big crowd gathered
and watched the "squatters" with
amusement.
Until a late hour last night the two
men were seated comfortably over To-
cations marked in chalk where post
holes were to be dug. So intense did
the situation finally become that the
chief of police detailed patrolmen TO
the scene TO see that there was no
violence.
Folks in the neighborhood are anx-
iously awaiting the outcome, and the
saloonkeepers meanwhile IRE doing a
thriving business.

'WINKING' CHARGE
UPSETS HEARING
Honest Ballot Peoples
Lawyer Accuses VoOr-
hiss Counsel.

Despite his eighty-fve years, John
r. Voorhis proved himself to be a
lively witness when he took the stand
yesterday in his own behalf at the
hearing of the charges aimed against
him as State Superintendent of Elec-
tions by the Honest Ballot Assocla-
ton.
There was a broad smile on Mr..
Voorhis's face as he approached the
witness chair. He hadn't been there
long before he broke into a giggle. 1t
was not caused by any question
levelled at him by opposing counsel,
but by Commissioner MacMahon's sur
prise when the Tammany Nestor ad-
mitted his years, about forty OF which
had been spent in public Office.
Mr.. Voorhis did not get much
chance TO get his side Of the case on
the record because of a savage TIT
between counsel, which began when
w. Cleveland Runyon, attorney for the
Honest Ballot Association, accused
Leslie j. Tomkins, of counsel for the
defence, of indicating "by sly winks"
just how witnesses should answer
questions.
Mr.. Tomkins at the charge jumped
TO his feet, his face red with anger.
my only suggestion to you, Mr..
Runyon," he said, would be to watch
me also in the hope of learning a little
law"
The war clouds were just beginning
to blow away when Mr.. Runyon start
ed trouble again by declaring:
at is my belief that records taken
from the Office of the state superin-
tendent, purporting to be official docu-
ments, have been tempered with, and
| think some of the bunch in the cleo
tions office would go still further than
that"
The records questioned were chal-
lenge sheets which Mr.. Voorhis had
been called upon to identify. The fact
that the originals are distributed
among election districts and never re-
turned led Mr.. Runyon to make the
charge.
When Mr.. Voorhis did get a chance
TO put word in edgewise he swore
that all his deputies had been in
structed to treat the watchers Of the
Honest Ballot Association fairly and
with the same consideration that
would be given to the representative
of a political party or any other au-
thorized person. The witness asserted
that his deputies were ordered to keep
an open eye for violation of the cleo
ton laws and to arrest the offenders,
no matter who they were or what they
stood for.

THOMPSON WON'T
PAY PELL DEBTS
Special Partner Wants His
Pro Rata Share of
Failed Firms Assets.

Colonel Robert NJ Thompson, who
was reported to be willing to settle the
indebtedness of the firm of s. Fl. P.
Pell & Co., announced through counsel
yesterday that he had no intention OF
doing anything of the sort.
Colonel Thompson is of the opinion
that the rumor was what the French
call test balloon" If so it was emil
nently successful in showing just how
the wind was blowing. 1t indicated
that the Street, which was of the opin-
ion that the Pell failure would not be
settled without the development of con-
siderable bitterness on both sides, was
reasonably accurate in diagnosing the
situation. q,
Colonel Thompson was special
partner in the firm. His interest was
limited TO S15O,000. In addition TO this
he was the firms creditor for nearly
S3,O0O,0O0. On general principles, say
those who are near TO him, he would
not press this claim, but as he, in com
mon with others of the firm, feels that
some sharp corners were turned by
those who make up the bulk of the
smaller creditors, he will insist upon
obtaining his pro rata of the firms
assets.
1t was this feeling that led Judge
Grub, in the United States Court, to
depart from the usual custom and aP-
point three receivers, where. ordinarily
one would have been enough. One OF
the three will represent those having
interests adverse to the firm, the otner
the Thompson-Pel interests. The third
will represent the banks and act as
general arbitrator. q,
The Pell case came up in the United
States Court yesterday, when Andreas
& Co., Of London, obtained permission
to sell 1900 shares of Southern Rail
way preferred which it had bought for
the firm and on which there remains
an unpaid balance of Sl13,437. The
firm may under the order of the. court
retain the stock, if its bid is higher
than that of any other firm or person.
which, in effect, places an upset price
of s113,437 on the block.

Anonymous Circular Says
Health Board OverrideS
State Law.
OPIUM-CONTAINING
MIXTURES UPHELD
Goldwater Insists Regulation
Against Narcotics Will
Be Enforced.

An anonymous circular has been sent
20 all druggists in this city advising
them TO resist the Board Of Health's
latest regulation forbidding the sale
Of patent medicines and mixtures con-
tanning any drugs that give the same
effect or reaction as cocai..c or opium
Saws this circular, which is abusive
in tone: 1.-THE Board of Health cannot
make laws, and the recent regulation
is absolutely void"
In reply to the anonymous attack DR..
S. S. Goldwater, Commissioner OF
Health, said last night:
"The Board of Health can make san
itary laws for the City Of New York.
The regulation which ofFends the peo-
pie behind this anonymous circular will
be enforced. Any one violating 1t Will
be arrested and prosecuted by this
department"
The anonymous attack on the Board
Of Health is signed "a Thinking Re
taller" In part it says:
"Three men, viz: the Commissioner
of Health, the Police Commissioner and
the Health Officer of the Port, decided
that the Boylan law does not suit them,
and July % they promulgated a regu-
lation overruling the State OF New
York. In effect they say: The State
Legislature and the Governor may
make laws for the State of New York
outside of New York City, but in New
York City we are supreme. To h-ll
with the Governor and the Legislat-
ure."
DR.. Goldwater explained that the
Board of Health did not overrule the
State of New York, but put among
the city regulations a section that was
originally in the Boylan anti-drug bill,
but which was left out of it because
the bill might have failed Of passage
otherwise.
1--WE talked with druggists and ply
sicians, and all agreed that these pat
ent medicines and mixtures containing
opium or its derivatives would not lose
any of their curative properties by
having the narcotics omitted. The
drafters of the Boylan law told us the
same thing. We have behind us the
intelligent public opinion of the COM
munity, and the regulation will be
enforced"
Commissioner Goldwater said he
would give the druggists who before
the regulation of July % was passed
purchased in good faith these medi-
cnes now under the ban reasonable
time in which to dispose of them.
The Commissioner said that one of
the chief reasons for putting the recent
regulation into effect is that cocaine
ard opium fends who found their sup
ply cut off through the strict enforce
ment of the Boylan law would resort
to the use of these patent medicines.

SPLIT ON METHOD
OF TANNING TIGER
Independent Democrats at Odds
as to How Many Candi-
dates TO Name.

Independent Democrats are some
what at odds as tC just how far they
should go in opposing the regular or
ganization ticket this fall. Some OF
them hold that they should put an en-
tire ticket in the field. Others think
il would be foolish to spread out their
strength over too many candidates.
The lodge of independents which is
represented by Collector Dudley Field
Malone, Mayor Mitchell and Frank L..
Polk, Corporation Counsel, is under
the impression that it would be best
to concentrate their efforts on the
nomination and election of John A.
Hennessy for Controller. They are
planning TO run him in the Democratic
primaries, and if he does not win
there. 10 name him as an independent
candidate at the polls in November
William f. Schneider is in sympathy
with the Hennessy candidacy, but he
wants to 20 further and name a man
in opposition to Governor Glynn, and
possibly put an entire state ticket
in the field. The Democratic Associa-
ton, of which he is the head, is going
TO run tickets for the Tammany gem
eral committee in the various districts.
They do not intimate that they can
overthrow Tammany, but they hope TO
get militant minority in the COM
mittee which can work for better
things.
The Democratic state platform COM
mittee has been forced to yield to the
demand for hearings. They had in
tended to present the platform as the
result of star chamber proceedings, a
distinct step backward from 1872, when
public hearings were held by the par
ties. To give opportunity for public
hearings on Tuesday, August 20, the
platform committee will meet on Mon
day, August "a, to decide on tentative
Recommendations.
