Brown fired the shots is not known
The policemen then went to Brown g
room, but received no response when
they knocked at the door of his room.
Patrolman Murray got a key, and
they found Brown in bed. He said he
had been asleep for some time, but

chair, was wet from the rain
He denied having fired any shots.

PUBLIC TO LEARN
OF COUNTY GOVT
Public Welfare Committee to
Probe Affairs and Report
to the People.

A campaign to educate the public
in matters of county government will
be started here on Monday under the
direction of the Public Welfare Com
mittee. DIR. William H. Allen and his
assistants in the Municipal Research
Bureau, of New York, will investi-
gate conditions in public institutions
OF Essex county and make public
their findings.
Miss Emily Hamblen, secretary of
the committee, made it plain today
that the activities of the organiza-
ton will be directed toward public
education and betterment. and not
as undertaking" campaign. The
public officials of each department
investigated are expected to cooper
ate with the committees workers,
and no report will be published UNI
less the officials involved have veri-
fled the statement of conditions in
their bailiwicks.
1--WE expect to secure the indorse-
ment of the plans formulated as a REL
suit of our Investigations, and these
Endorsements probably will come
from the officials in charge as well
as our experts. OF course we can
foresee the probability that in the
event of recommending a radical
change in any department we are
likely to meet with some opposition.
However, the men who will conduct
the work will recommend only the
systems which have been tried and
not found wanting in other counties
and municipalities"
The meeting last night was an exc
cutive session of the committee and
was attended by representatives of
other civic bodies.

WARNING AGAINST
RAO|UM QUACKS
Health Experts Say Dishonest
establishments Will Utilize
Popular Interest.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE New
York city department of health today
issued warning against quacks who
might seek to take advantage of the
popular interest aroused by recent ex-
periments with radium in the treat
ment of cancer. In its report the de-
partment says:
I'm view of the popular furore
which the radium treatment of cancer
has excited in this country, it seems
advisable to sound a note of warning.
According to the best authorities, the
radium treatment of cancer is yet a
matter of experiment, and what sue
cessful results have been obtained
concern chiefly the treatment of ex-
ternal cancers, particularly those of
the skin. Even though radium may
eventually prove of much greater
value than has been the case in the
past, it must not be overlooked that
the first principle in cancer is still
early recognition and early, thorough
removal.
THUS far there is practically no
proof that radium has finally cured
any one case of advanced or dissem-
mated cancer. There is every reason
that the popular interest aroused in
the radium treatment of cancer will
be utilized by q large number of dis
honest money-getting establishments
conducted by individuals with little
or no radium and who have no knowl-
edge of its use. This has been the ex-
perience in Europe, where the popu-
lar enthusiasm about radium APP
peared earlier than it did here. The
great danger, of course, in all these
cures is the valuable time which
may be wasted, thus frequently dis
sipating all chances of cure by surgi-
cal means"

We're on the brink of mutiny. Row
said that there were no Chinese in the

According to Row, when the Queen

light at Sea Grit was not visible, and
the captain had lost his way Row
said they had been four days without
sighting another vessel and that for
the past three days the fog had pre-
vented them from taking their bear
ings from the sun. Last night while
trying to get some idea of their posi-
ton by the use of the lead, the crew
lost the sounding instruments over
board.
Captain Mcdonald called for the aid
of wrecking tugs. 1t was believed
that he did not know how high he
was on the shore from the fact that
he expected to be pulled off. While
the tugs were steaming to his help
the high seas were rolling over the
ship and her position seemed to shift
bit. Captain Mcdonald showed that
he believed his craft would stand
hard pounding and that not until the
situation was considerably altered
would he begin sending his men
ashore.

Louise sent up her first rocket the

PROMISE SURPRISES
AT BARKER TRIAL
Members of Congregation to Aid
Pastor In Custer Hearing
Before Chassis.

Three members Of Christ Reformed
Church. at Washington and Delevan
avenues, are preparing few sur
prises for the next meeting Of the
Newark Chassis. which will take up
the proposition OF deposing Rev. Per-
cival II. Barker from Christ Church.
The meeting is scheduled to be held
next Friday in the North Reformed
Church. Broad and Bridge streets.
While members of the Chassis have
been searching the record of Mr.. Bar
ker before he came to this city, about
year ago, the church members have
also been doing some investigating.
1t Is understood that q charge Will be
made to the effect that the stated
clerk OF the Neosha Presbytery, which
dropped Mr.. Barker from the minis
try, disregarded several rules of the
I'Presbyterian book of discipline.
One of the rules set forth in this
book, recognized as the authority in
Presbyterian church proceedings,
states that copies of the trial record
at a minister's trial must be fur
nished to both the complainant and
the defendant. When Mr.. Barker was
tried by the Kansas Presbytery he
was suspended and came to this city.
After he had been preaching at the
Woodside church for some time, Mr..
Barker wrote to the stated clerk of
the Neosha Presbytery, requesting
the latter to forward a copy of the
trial record at Mr.. Barker's expense.
A check accompanied the request but
this was returned without the re-
quired copy of the testimony.
The stated clerk in the western
town drew up the charges against
1T Do nj III of a6
as one of the seven judges at the
trial. The action of the stated clerk
in making the charges and then pass
ing on the truth of them Is said to be
In violation of the rules, as well as
void of property.
The Newark Chassis will also be
asked to investigate the alleged evil
dences of malicious prosecution" to
which Mr.. Barker and members of
his consistory claim he has been sub
jected. A well-known Presbyterian
clergyman of this city stated that he
never heard of another instance
where the, findings of a presbytery
had been published broadcast, as was
the case when the Neosha Presby-
terry found Mr.. Barker guilty OF
lying"
At the recent meeting of the New
ark Presbytery a communication
from Stated Clerk McCombs, OF
Neosha, Kan, relative to the Barker
controversy was read. The letter in
cluded the information that the West
ern presbytery had voted to send the
letter ito all stated clerks throughout
the United States" This resolution
was branded as indicative Of "perse-
cution" on the floor at the meeting
of the local presbytery.
