JUDGE GIVES HOPE
TO In N. H. TRIAL
All Not Concerned to Same EX-
tent in Alleged Conspiracy,
He Says.

Hope OF immediate acquittal was
aroused in the breasts OF several OF
the eleven former directors Of the New
Haven railroad on trial charged with
violating the Sherman antitrust law
BIZ remarks made from the bench yes
terday by Judge Hunt
During the argument for dismissal
OF the indictments Judge Hunt inter
rupted counsel OF the defendants to
say that Henry X. McFIarg and Fred
erick +. Brewster had not participated
in the acts now characterized as con-
spiracy TO as great an extent as the
other defendants.
The fact that Judge Hunt evidently
recognized a wide difference in the de-
gree Of participation Of the defendants
was accepted by the eleven accused
men as a hopeful sign. They believe
they will have little difficulty in con-
vincing him that the two men named
and others in the same class should be
acquitted Immediately.
Robert ". Taft, James ). Hemlng-
wav, d. Newton Barnev, A. Heaton
Robertson and Charles VI. Pratt were
named as being in the same class as
the two men fayorably mentioned by
Judge Hunt. Because of this situation
attorneys for the defendants VIII make
arguments for practically all Of the
eleven former railroad directors sepa-
rately.
The gist of yesterdays arguments
By attorneys for the defence was that
the government had failed to prove
any conspiracy other than such as
might be proved against the directors
of any great railroad in the country
Another remark from Judge Hunt
that aroused the interest Of the de-
PENDANTS was directed at Attorney
Goldthwaite II. Dorr. OF the defence.
Merely because New England IS

their competition for business, it does
not follow that there can be no monop-
Clization of its trafic," said Judge

INCREASE IN DEATHS IN CITY
Pneumonia Causes Sudden Jump in
Mortality Rate.

Increase in the mortality figures last
week is indicated by statistics issued
= The Department OF Health. During
the week l,569 deaths occurred in the
city. In the corresponding period last
year there were 1.4O9 deaths. The re-
spective rates per 1000 population are
14.10 and 1909.
This increase. said Registrar Gull
Toy, is due principally to the heavy
mortality from pneumonia and allied
diseases. Lobar pneumonia not only
showed an immense increase in NOR
tality over last year. but a decided in
crease over the preceding week. There
were approximately 1900 new cases o.
pneumonia IN the city last week. The
contagious diseases showed practically
70 increase in mortality.
The mortality was highest in the
middle and later periods of life.

FILET OF HORSE
NEW CITY DAINTY
Health Department Off
Cially Puts Equine Flesh
on European Basis.
MEAT is CLEANER
THAN THAT OF CATTLE
May Become Invaluable. Off
Gals Believe, for Use in
Soups and Sausages.

Horse meat as an article of GOOD was
officially admitted into New York City
by the Health Department Yesterday
Health Commissioner Emerson says the
action is a direct blow at the nigh cost
Of living.
1--WE have had this in view ever
since D.. Alderman. our chief veteri-
marian, made a trip Of inspection
abroad, shortly after the beginning Of
the war" sad DR.. Emerson. "When he
returned he reported that in Brussels
a high quality Of horse meat was sell
ing at slightly higher prices than Ar
gentinc beef. In Paris. he said. from
$50 to 200 horses were consumed every
day. much to the advantage of the
civil population.
"W. have adopted this measure in
New York because We believe we Will
be able to make provision for an mex
pensiyc meat food. There are many
advantages in the use of horse meat.
A horse never has tuberculosis and IS
generally so free from disease Is 20
need much less supervision than cattle,
hogs OF sheep. There is no sanitary
or medical reason why horse flesh
should not be eaten. They say an
American will never eat it. but ;hat Is
no reason why it should not be eaten
and while the department does not
recommend its use as food. it now
removes ali objections to rs being so
used. Horse meat may become an IN
valuable element in soups and sau-
sages. Our alien population, who have
already become accustomed to its use
in their native countries. Will probably
lead off with it as an article Of daily
food here
The new measure was passed at
meeting for a revision of the sanitary
code. and an amendment was adopted
permitting the slaughter Of horses for
food purposes. 1t permits the killing
OF horses under the same restrictions
that now apply to cattle, sheep and
hogs. and the sale will be governed so
as to prevent the substitution OF horse
meat for other kinds.
After the first OF the year the de
partment thinks there may be small
amount Of the meat on the market, but
some experts declare that ;he present
prices prevailing in the horse market
will discourage any great attempt at
substitution.
Another drastic action was taken at
tho same meeting. that puts the ban
on the sale of toilet preparations CON
tanning lead, mercury or coal tar dyes.
The measure applies partlcu larly TO
hair ives and face creams and lotions
which contain substances injurious 10
health.
Exposures o. these evils have al
ready been made by samuel Hopkins
Adams in The Tribune. The Health
Dopartment's crusade against these
substances j. based on discoveries that
persons have injured their eycslght or
have suffered from mefcurial poisoning
after using cream containing mer-
curry.
Another regulation was passed ann
ing at unsanitary schools conducted on
Hebrew sectarian lines. Many nave
been found to be deficient in sanitary
precautions, and hereafter permits VIII
be refused in all cases where the
school rooms" are not adapted Tor
