Body Floating.
FEARED TROUBLE AND
so LET 1T DRIFT AWAY
Two Arms and One Leg of In
fant Taken from Pas
sale Yesterday.

An infants right leg was found in
the Passaic river near Van Keuren's
dock in East Newark thss forenoon,
and Amelio Bott. employed on the
stone boat Harold. which is tied up at
the dock said that he saw the head
and body of an infant floating down
the river about $50 this mornir...
The police of Newark and East
Newark have joined in a search for
the missing portion of the child, which
the deckhand says he did not touch
because ''he did not want to get into
any trouble
The leg found, this morning is
doubtless from the same body as the
two arms and leg found on the New
ark side of the river Yesterday, and
I like the other limbs. had been severed
from the body close to the trunk.
This morning Joseph Hester and
William Polding. twelve year-old boys
who live in Second street. East New
ark, were playing baseball near Van
keuren's dock, when the hali got
away from them and rolled into the
river. As they We're fishing 1t out
one of them noticed the left leg of
an infant floating in an eddy near the
shore.
Chanceman George Barry. of East
Newark, who took charge of the case.
Henry Alters, and commenced an in
vestigation.
The officer learned from Bott, the
| deckhand, that while he was fishing
! driftwood out of the river early this
morning, he aaw the body of an
| infant float down stream. and that
at least one leg was missing. He
was able to describe il minutely and
| said that it was the body Of a child
| not quite a year old.
Alice and Charles Harrison of 20
| Passaic street, found a leg and an
arm of an infant yesterday at noon
while playing on the bank of the river
at the foot of Oriental street. Later
in the day John Coburn, of 276 New
York avenue, found the right arm
near the boathouse of the Institute
Club, about a quarter of mile from
the first find.
County Physician Mckenzie viewed
the extremities and declared there
was evidence that the members had
been severed from the body with a
sharp instrument. The bones were
clean cut, making it appear as
though an ak had been used The
arm was severad from the body just
below the shoulder and the leg a few
inches below the trunk
Black and blue marks were visible
on the flesh. From their condition
the limbs are believed to have been
in the water about one week. Boat
men along the shore are of the opin-
ion that the high tide at O'Clock
yesterday morning was responsible
for the limbs coming TO the surface

, paign of which II was the storm cent
From the north. northwest, west
south and southeast the AustroGer-
man forces have been pressing upon
the Polish capital in their combined
drive to force the Russians out of Po-
! land, and, II possible, to break their
offensive power for an indefinite
period by administering a decisive
defeat all along the line. The move
ment may be said to have had its in
ception in May. when the great Teu-
tonic march through Galicia began.
| To get at the Russian armies in Po
land from the southeast it first was
necessary to clear Galicia. or the
greater part of it, of the troops OF
/ that nation.
How successfully this WAS accom-
pIished is familiar history. Field
! Marshal Won Mackensen's campaign,
| in it's first important stage, culnht-
mated when late in June Lemberg was
retaken and the Russians were driven
| over the Galician border. Then early
/ in July the Teutonic forces coming up
| from the south halted while prepara-
tions were made for the next stage
of the campaign.
Great Armies Assembled.
Signs of the form this was TO take
were soon apparent. Great armies had
been assembled to the north, and
these early in July began pressing
Gown upon the Russians from that
direction. vigorous offensive was
opened in the Baltic provinces. The
Teutonic troops attacked from point
To point along the east Prussian bor-
der, and with Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg directing the general opera
tions along this section of the fight
ing front a determined drive began in
the Przasnysz.
simultaneously the Teutonlc armies
in the south showed reawakening
activity. Field Marsal Won Macken-
sen resumed his advance, his German
forces working with the Austrlans
TO inflict smashing blows upon the
Russians from this direction. Step
nv step the Austro- German hosts
pounded their way toward the city
from north and south, while on the
west activities along the line OF en-
( trenchments that had 80 long held
off the Germans in that section were
resumed.
Before the power of the Teutons
engaged in this encircling movement
the armies of Grand Duke Nicholas
began TO fall back Przasnysz, to the
north of Warsaw, was occupied, and
the German armies swept on. BY
July 19 they had forced the Russians
back to the line of the Narew river
and pushed their way to within
twenty miles of their goal. The
fortress of Ostrolenka was taken and
the Nowogeorkievsk fertilization, thC
! kew to Warsaw on the north, was ap-
preached. To the south Radon was
occupied and the Russians lines ol
communication in the Lublin region
threatened.
German Lines frightened.
Then began a tightening of tn,

ANOTHER LOCAL
FURNITURE FIRM
:. IS BANKRUPT
Hoffman, Douglass & Co,
Placed in Hands of Re-
ceiver Today.

Hoffman. Douglass & Co of As
Market street. one of the leading
furniture houses in this city, today
went into the hands of a receiver in
bankruptcy. An involuntary petit
ton in bankruptcy was filed against
the concern with Judge John Rell-
stab in the United States District
Court at Trenton. The company has
another store at Carteret, N. J.
The major portion of the eompany's
assets consist of outstanding ac-
counts, or sums due for furniture
bought on the instalment plan. These
accounts are valued at $50 900 Be
cause of the inability To collect these
accounts more rapidly Hoffman.
Douglass & Co found itself without
sufficient funds to meet the demands
of creditors. II is believed the liabili-
ties will not exceed 5000 or s25 600.
Creditors with claims totaling 81 900
filed the petition against the furni-
ture concern. Saul Cohn, of this city,
counsel for the petitioning creditors,
applied for a receiver. The court ap-
pointed William HaUis. also local
lawyer, as receiver and fixed his bond
AT $4,000
Wants TO Continue Business.
Receiver Harris will apply 10 the
court for permission to continue the
business for a time so as to facilitate
The collection of installment accounts.
Mr. Harris also expressed the opinion
that a public retail sale would bring
more than a forced sale AT auction.
There is ample opportunity 10 get
enough to pay all creditors 100 cents
ON the dollar" said Receiver Harris
this afternoon. zone thing essential,
however. is the cooperation of other
creditors. If they work with the re-
ceiver and officers of the company
we can conduct the business SO that
enough money will be realized to pay
every claimant in fulls Otherwise a
lot of litigation will creep into the
administration of the estate and cat
UP what the creditors should get"
In addition to the $4,000 worth of
accounts, the company has on hand
furniture valued at from SS 600 to $l0,-
600. For years the concern has en-
joyed an excellent reputation in the
business world, and its officers fought
hard to staVe off the present pro-
ceeGings. In the past few months
| Hoffman, Douglass & Co. has paid out
$4,000 on judgments obtained by
creditors.

Fourth District Congress man Chokes Appropria tio1 of St. Petersburg

r- a
 Washington. Jan. 21.-c1afn1ing that Florida has already had it's share of the public funds collected by direct tax representative Donovan has knocked out a proposition. to appro- priate $12o, 900 for a federal. building at Petersburg. Florida. The Connec- ticut congressman carried his point. The rivers and harbors appropriation bill in charge of chairman Sparkrnan of. Florida carries thirty appropria- tfons for Florida and the committee recently refused to/ give Bridgeport, Conn, $111,30O to complete 8 harbor project already underway.
 Mir. Donovan's statement was not denied, when he said that Represent tatfve Clark of Florida had not stat ed the population of Petersburg cor rect1y.
 Florida will not get any more dol lars out of the public treasury this session, if the Connecticut member can. help it 'eFlorida has. had it's share,'' he says. What he says is likely to go, for the only hope for such appropriations this session is to come up on the Unanimous consent calendar. By sticking to his job Donovan will probably make the Florida delegation regret it ignored Connecticut's right to share of some of the money she contributes to the federal government.

PROOF OF A GREAT
 KIDNEY MEDICINE

Several years ago I was taken vio- lent1y i'll. My trouble began with g. pain in my stomach, so severe that 1t seemed if knives were cutting me. I was treated by two of the best phy- sicians in the country, and consulted another. None of them suspected that the cause of my trouble was kidney disease. They all told me that had cancer of the stomach and would die. grew so weak that could not walk any more than a child a month old, and only weighed sixty pounds. One day my brother saw in the paper your advertisement of Swamp-Root, the a bottle and I took it. They could see a change in me so they obtained more, and I took in all thirty bottles of Swamp-Root. That may seem a great deal, but spent more than the cost of thirty bottles of Swamp-Root for doctors medicine, and it did not do me a particle of good. I was so weak and run down that it took con siderable to build me up again. am well now, thanks to pr. Kilmer s SWamp-Root, and weigh 14S pounds, and am keeping house for my hus- band and brother on a farm.

 The societies which are patriotic organizations claim that the Iiteracy or educational tests sdo not indicate tegrity or industry of an immigrant the same views as the society voted protest with the Congress to be re- corded in the Journal.
 President Wilson who is inclined to be opposed to the 11teracy test will hold public hearing upon the mat ter in the East room of the White House next Friday morning, and his action in either signing or vetoing the measure will be guided largely by the facts laid before him at that time
 The President is said to hold the view that while 1t is desirable to raise the standards in the matter of immi- grafton that 1t is not fair for a coun- try holding the prfn ncipIes that we have claimed for years to debar a man from entering because his early environment deprived hin4o the op- portunity 10 learn to read.

Did Abraham Lincoln ever make prohibition or temperance speecsaes7
 Prohibition was little known or thought of in his day, but he was a lifelong total abstinence man. In an address delivered before a temperance society at Springfield, Ill.,, Feb % 1S42, he said: Whether or not this world would be vastly benefited by a total and final banishnaent from 1t of all intoxicating drinks seems to be not now an open question Three-fourths Of mankind confess the affirmation with their tongue. and believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts. : When the victory shall be complete-when there shall be neither a slave nor a drunkard on the earth how proud the title Of that land which may truly claim the birthplace of both of these revolutions that shall have ended in that victory" In an address to the Sons of Temperance at Wash ington he said he had made temper ance speeches before that society was organized, 'tand think may say that to this day have never by my exam pie belied what then said"
