Heart Disease Causes
Death of a Man Long
Time in Shoe Business

Leonard Helliger, sixty years old,
who conducted a shoe store at 50s
Springfield avenue, was found dead
at his home this afternoon. Death
was due to heart disease.
The discovery of Helliger's body
was made by Annie Hagman, the
nine-year-old daughter of Mrs. Annie
Hagman. who lives on the third floor
at the Springfield avenue address.
The girl was playing in the yard, and
looking through the kitchen window
of Helliger's apartment saw him ly-
ing PROSTATE on the floor. Unable
to attract his attention the girl sum-
moned her mother.
Mrs. Hagman also tried to arouse
Helliger by tapping on the window.
Then she noticed that the shoe store
had not been opened. 1t was Helli-
gers practice to open the store at 7
clock in the morning. The woman
climbed through the window and no.
ticed that Helliger's body was cold.
Neighbors summoned DR.. Lars T.
Wendelboe. of sos South Tenth street,
who pronounced the man dead.
The police of the Fourth precinct
were sent for and Patrolmen Kabus
and Harms responded They noti-
fed County Physician William II. Nc
KenZie.
1t was evident that Helliger died
early this morning as there had been
no preparations made by him to get
his breakfast. Mrs. Mary Deutsch,
who owns the building at sos Spring
field avenue, declared that Helliger
had conducted the shoe store at that
address for twenty years. He was
something of a recluse and was not
known to make any friends in the
neighborhood during the long time he
lived there. Helliger was unmarried
and his only known relative is a
cousin who resides in Elizabeth.

COMPULSORY
VACCINATION
IS APPROVED
Essex County Medical Society
Endorses Method-Officers
Are Elected.

The Essex County Medical Society
at its meeting last Tuesday night
adopted resolutions indorsing COM
pulsory vaccination and protesting
against efforts that are being made
to bring the practice to an end.
The resolutions were introduced by
DR. Edward J. ILL., of 1902 Broad street,
this city, and were passed unani-
mously by the 300 members of the
society who attended the meeting
The resolutions assert that vaccina-
ton in more than 100 years of use
has proved its worth by practically
abolishing smallpox in the civilized
countries of the world. Smallpox, the
resolutions say, in Shakespeare's day.
destroyed almost one-thitn of the
total population of England every
thirty years. 1t would be a. great step
backward, the resolutions assert, to
abolish vaccination now. AS proof of
the efficacy of compulsory vacclna-
ton, the resolutions point to the prev
alence of smallpox in countries such
as Mexico, where the practice is not
in force.
Copies of the resolutions will be
sent to the boards of health of the
municipalities of the county.
The medical society also elected Of
| ficers at Tuesdays meeting. DIR. Carl
Sutphen, of this city, was chosen
president to succeed DR.. e. zeh
Hawkes.. Dr. John F. Hagerty was
elected vice-president, DIR. r. H.
Rogers secretary, and DR.. Ralph H.
Hunt of East Orange, was made
treasurer for the tenth consecutive
time. DR.. Herbert w. Long and DR.
A. j. Mitchell, of this city. were
elected members of the council and
/ DIR. Il. w. Pinneo, of Newark, was
elected reporter.
Improvement in methods of COM
hitting the insane also is under con-
slderation by the Essex County Medi-
cal Society. The matter was dis
cussed at the annual meeting.
A report was made by DIR. Sutphen.
chairman of the committee appointed
! by the society to investigate the com
mitment of insane persons
One of the chief drawbacks to
| the present method, according to
| the belief of some of the medf,
cal society members, lies in the
fact that the commitments must
| be made through the police depart
ment. The person committed must be
examined by the police surgeon, and
| IN many cases IL is said, Is removed
! from his home in a police ambulance.
Police intervention is usually as
| ISOLATED with violence or disorder,
said a member of the society, and the
part played by the police is an OBJ
| jectionabe feature in the commit
ment. One of the suggestions made
was that an insane patient be COM
mitted, following a consultation OF
| physicians, In the same manner that
he would be sent to a hospital for
treatment for any physical ailment
1t was also suggested that the In
sane hospitals be provided with am
balances to transfer patients. A di-
| agnosis of insanity does not mean
that the patient is violent or dan
gerous to the community. it was said.
The matter was referred back Ia
the committee for further investiga-
ton.

TRACK PETITION
Improvement Sought for Vice.
quahic Course, Where Races
viii Take Place Saturday.

Hundreds OF signatures are being
secured to the petition to the Essex
County Park Commission fer i'm
rrovements to the race course at
Weequahic Park. where the Road
Horse Association Of New Jersey
will hold a free-for-all trot for $500
in prizes next Saturday.
The Saturday matinees of the as
ISOLATION have come to be enor-
mously popular with crowds. which
have gone as high as $4,000 at times
and almost never drop below 5000.
The attendance has grown steadily
during the fifteen years the associa-
tior has been racing there, and now
is one of the most popular summer
attractions in Newark.
The unprecedented growth in pop
ularity has overrun the accommoda-
lions, which have not been increased
dvIing the fifteen years. Now the
lark Commission is to be asked to
have erected a modern steel grand
stand, which win be safe as well as
convenient, and big enough to seat
5000, and so devised that additions
may be made later. The petition
also asks that the track be re-soiled
and put in safe condition, and that
judges stand be built.
Until two years ago the Road
Horse Association furnished the
music at the matinees. but the city
authorities decided that nowhere
else could such big assemblies be
found on Saturday afternoons, and
so municipal band concerts have
been given the last two summers.
The present stand was erected by
the old New Jersey Agricultural So

ESDOVER Gas CO.
ON MORTGAGE NOTE
Fidelity, as Trustee, Brings
Foreclosure Proceedings to
Satisfy $4,000 Debt.
srecIaI to tho Evening star.

DOVER, Oct. S.-Through the issu-
ance Of subpoenas it became known
here today that the Fidelity Trust
Company, of Newark, acting as trus-
tee for some of the bondholders of
the Dover RoclSaway and Port Dram
Gas Company, has instituted pro-
ceedings in the Court Of Chancery at
Trenton to foreclose a 100000 mort
gage on the defendant corporations
property The proceedings are based
on the allegation that the gas COM
pany has defaulted in three payments
of interest on the bonds in question.
It was said here today that the pro-
ceedings will no doubt be contested.
The bill of complaint filed by the
Fidelity, through its solicitor. Francis
LaffeTty, sets forth that the mort
gage in question was given by the gas
company to secure the payment OF
90 bonds of 81 1000 each. That mort
gage was, and is, subject to prior
one for 100000, which was given to
secure the payment of other bonds,
and it is followed by a third mort
gage for 100000 held by the Fidelity
as trustee for other bondholders.
that the mortgage in question covers
the defendant company's property in
Dover and the township of Randolph.
Morris county, as well as all its other
real estate, buildings, gas mains, ma
chinery, patents, etc. This mortgage
provides that in case of default in
two payments of interest on the
bonds, the majority of the stock
holders may declare the whole prin-
cipal of all the bonds to be due and
that is what now has been done
through the Fidelity Trust Company,
acting in it's capacity as trustee.
According to the trust company's
bill eight judgments, aggregating
about $4,000, have been obtained
against the gas company by different
corporations and individuals. 1t is
insisted, however, that these judg-
ments, having been obtained subse-
quent to the mortgage in question,
are subject to it.
The bill of complaint sets forth that
for unpaid taxes some OF the de-
PENDANT corporations premises have
been sold to the town of Dover and
some to the township Of Randolph.
This city's claim is for $519.17. The
unpaid taxes in Randolph amounted
to $53.27. 1t is further stated in the
bill that there is still due to Dover
from the gas company 81 ,00S.14 for I'M
paid taxes for the year 1913
Addison Ely, of Rutherford, is the
president of the gas company. which
was incorporated January 30, 1901. It's
capital stock was then placed at
100000, and it's Incorporation papers
showed that it was to begin business
with $4,000.
