Robert ". De Forest, president Of
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. is to
be the new owner Of the facade Of the
old Assay Office. at 80 and 32 Wall
Street. The gift of this historic bit
of architecture from the government
TO Mr.. De Forest was announced yes
terday by Commander Alfred B. Fry
chief engineer Of the Treasury Depart
ment in this city.
Although Mr.. De Forest could not be
seen Yesterday is now in the West
Indies it is understood that the
facade will be taken down and each
stone numbered carefully. Then IT u.
probable that it will form the front OF
a new building TO be erected by the
museum 70 house Americana. This
plan will be carried out if sufficient
funds are obtained. It is expected that
a collection of Colonial furniture from
Mrs. Russell Sage will form the nu-
cleus Of the exhibit.
Sealed bids for the removal Of the
Assay Office will close on March l6,
and shortly after the wreckers will go
TO work. Within a few months the
erection Of a new building will be be-
gun.
Mr. De Forest applied some time ago
to Commander Fry for the FACADE. He
was referred to the Treasury Depart

Five Others Are Made Members
of ASsOciatiOn-Anderson
Reelected President.

Seated around the glowing campfire
beneath evergreen boughs and with the
splash of running water in their ears.
the Hunters Fraternity of America
welcomed Rear Admiral Robert +.
Peary into their council last night. In
the dim freight he smoked his first
pipe of peace with them as a member.
The odor of the great woods perme-
ated the air as the Arctic explorer was
initiated by an impressive ceremony,
attended only by members Of the fra
ternity. When the lights grew stronger
the hunters found themselves loung-
ing on skins Of animals from all the
ends Of the earth, instead of on forest
leaves. And instead Of the rough garb
OF explorers, the dim figures took shape
as men in evening attire. Ii was in the
hall of A. A. Anderson's studio, over
the Beaux Arts. at 50 West Fortieth
Street.
Only men who had shot big game
and kpew the meaning OF the word ad-
venture belonged 10 the group. Any
one of them could have taken frying
ran and cooked n meal over the fire
and then picked up his gun to track a
moose. musk OK or a bear.
Six hunters joined the ranks in all.
Besides Admiral Peary, they were S.
Frederick Taylor, Amos l.. Prescott,
DR.. Percy Bugher, Frederick Mathews
and DR. g. F. Kuntz. At the annual
election of officers before the smoker
A. A. Anderson was again chosen pres
ident; DR.. J. J. Noll, vice-president;
David B. Simpson, treasurer, and
Irving Ba'cheller, secretary.
After the illusion Of the great woods
had partly vanished and rare hanging
lamps gave out more light through the
stained glass, Illuminating here a suit
of ancient armor and there a price
less piece of tapestry, the most notable
of the now members was called upon
for an informal talk.
"Wild Animals Of the Far North" "
was the subject Of the series of hunt
ing experiences that Admiral Peary re-
lated. A curtain was dropped, the place
once more took on the darkness of
midnight in the forest and colored
Northern Greenland.
One view was taken within ten feet
of live bull musk OK, and was greatly
priced by the explorer. The spread of
heavy horns led him 20 remark on the
futility of trying to shoot such an ami
NAL through the head.
Especially lifelike we're photographs
of dead reindeer posed and moulded
into living likeresses y Admiral Peary
before the extreme temperature had
frozen them rigid.
Adventures by the score were re-
called by the brief talk, and the mem
bers fingered long to tell their tales
once again. Then buffet supper was
served from the Beaux Arts.

PLANNED TO HAVE
BODY LAST AGES
Engineer Leaves Extraordinary
Burial Directions "to Cheat
Worms After Death"
rBy Telegraph to IN. Tribun. J

Philadelphia, Feb. PA weird life,
cuualling the imaginative production
Of Poe or an Ambrose Bierce, was re-
vealed to-day when the extraordinary
preparations made for his burial by
Henry Close, engineer and mathema-
tician, were made public. Close died
ten days ago at his home here.
He left his entire estate Of $4,000
10 provide for a scientific burial OF
his body and the care of his grave. For
years Close lived recluse, engaged in
experiments the nature OF which was
not revealed until ne died. Then II
became known that all his knowledge
had been concentrated on evolving a
method Of burial which he believed
would prevent the decomposition OF his
body.
Notes left by him disclosed his one
ambition TO be "to cheat the worms
after death" He was determined that
his body should remain intact for ages.
Two years ago he superintended the
construction of mammoth vault IN
St. Michaeps Cemetery, at Birdsboro.
The vaul. was built OF brick, faced
with plates of steel, between which
cement was poured. A granite slab
weighing three tons was placed on IT.
Before his death he designed and
had made an outer case of phosphor
bronze, weighing ton, and coffin OF
ironwood. He engaged the best me
chanics obtainable for this work, pay
ing them big salaries. He ordered that
after his death the bronze case should
be Theoretically sealed and caulked
with molten lead. John B. Rutherford,
an attorney. was retained by Close to
superintend the burial, and $500 was
beGueathed to him for this service.

NOSELESS KUROKI
MUST DON MUzzLE
Court Rules Against Mrs.
Knoblauch in Fight
for Her Pet.

Kuroki who has no nose, must be
muzzled.
So Justice Lehman, of the Supreme
Court, decided yesterday. KurokTs
mistress, Mrs. Mary Knoblauch, wife
Of Charles +. Knoblauch, fought vail
antly the cruel law which ordered her
TO get a muzle for her French bull
dog. She even welcomed a chance
TO suffer for the cause and spent an
hour in cell. But now Kuroki must
suffer the indignity Of harness, unless
Mrs. Knoblauch wins an appeal she pro
poses TO take.
Justice Lehman, in his decision, up
holds the constitutionahty OF the doS
muzzling ordinance. He says that the
Board of Health has ample authority
TO order dogs muzzled on the public
streets, and that the persons who cry
that rabies does not exist are all wrong.
Mrs. Knoblauch took Kuroki out
walking on Fifth Avenue on January
: and was arrested because the French
bull had no muzzle.
81 had a muzzle for Kuroki,' she SAID
"but he always succeeded IN getting IL
off before we had gone block. You
see. his neck is ever so much larger
than his head
When she refused to give bail in a
magistrates court Mrs. knob!auch
spent sixty minutes in Iorkyllle prison
all for Kuroki's sake. Her lawyer,
Miss Bertha Rembaugh, brought the
case before the Supreme Court on
write of habeas corpus. when II was
heard on January 80 Miss Rembaugh
argued that the law was unconstitu-
tional. in that "the power TO pass the
ordinance was vested in the Board OF
Aldermen and not in the Department
of Health; that II was just as logical
TO muzzle children who might get
wbooping cough as it was to muzzle
dogs who might get rabies; that kurokl
didn't have any nose TO speak oi' any
way"
that Mrs. Knoblauch must either 60 to
the Tombs or give bail pending her
trial. She has been parcied IN the
custody of her lawyer, pending the de-
cision. But she will not let the case
rest as il is, and muzzle kuroki.
At her home. in the Wyoming Apart
ments, Fifty-ffth Street and Seventh
| Avenue. yesterday afternoon she SAID
She would appeal the case.
Justice Lehman in his decision says,
in part: o.
"Matters Of health are specifically
placed within the jurisdiction Of the
Board of Health, and if the regula-
tions enacted by the Board OF Alder
men are insufficient in that they fan
70 forbid acts detrimental to the health
of the public. il seems TO me that II
would be unreasonable 10 hold that the
Board of Health has not power TO make
additional regulation.
THE primary object OF the ordinance
js TO secure protection against rabies.
In spite of the discussion as TO the
prevalence or even existence OF this
disease. the prevailing opinion, both
Law and medical, is that such disease
exists and is a menace TO public health.
The Official record Of the Board OF
Health shows that each OF the last two
wears there have been eight cases OF
human rabies and that during the year
1907 there were twenty-eight cases.
"The disease can be completely Grad
icated if il becomes impossible for a
rabid animal 10 bite another animal or
human being, and the disease can be
controlled in exact proportion that pro-
lection from such bites can be Sc
cured"

ENGAGED, PARTED,
MARRIED, DIVORCED
Romance of Huntingtons, of
Flushing, Who Wed Secretly
After Broken Betrothal Ended.

Philadelphia, Feb. PA divorce was
granted here to-day by James Alcorn,
sitting AS master, 10 Mrs. Mary Lud-
low Bogert Huntington. of FLUSHING,
l. I. from her husband, Z. Irvington
Huntington. son of Charles +. Hunting
ton. of New York, who is member
Of several clubs here and in New York.
Mrs. Huntington alleged barbarous
treatment, and no appearance was en-
tered for her husband.
The couple have been well known IN
Flushing, and the divorce is the climax
Of series Of surprises in which they
have figured. The first took place in
1910. when they became engaged. Their
betrothal was soon declared broken
after society had approved Of the
match. They met by chance in New
York on June 27 of that year, when
their families believed them hOpelessly
apart. and hurried to Grace Church
Chantrv, where they we're married by
the Rev. Alexander W. Bostwick.
The couple then came to this city,
where Mr.. Huntington became connected
with a stock brokerage firm. Late last
summer Mrs. Huntington returned TO
her home in Flushing. II was believed
she was merely visiting her parents
until a report came last October that
She and her husband had separated.
The parents of Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt
ington declined TO discuss the affair,
and Mr.. Bogert would not admit that
any action had been begun, but said
his daughter had been separated from
her husband for several weeks.
Mrs. Huntington's parents are prom
inent in Flushing society, and one OF
her sisters was married to Gordon
Brown. a nephew Of the late j. Pier
pont Morgan.
Mr.. Huntington's grandfather was
Daniel Huntington, an artist and found
er of the Century Association. His
mother is a grandnece Of Washington
Irving. Charles r. Huntington, his
father. lives at 48 East Eighty-nintt
Street.
