PROBE POISONING
OF kEYPORT DOGS
DR.. BogarduS Accuses Neigh
bor of Killing Valuable AMI

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport. Aug. 18:-A report from
the chemist on the analysis of the
stomachs of the valuable dogs be-
longing to former Sheriff of Mon
mouth county, DR.. o. G. Bogardus, of
Church street, whose dogs died from
poisoning last week while the doctor
was in the Pocono mountains, will
be ready in a day or two. DR.. Bo-
gardus returned this week from his
summer home in Pennsylvania and
Immediately began working on the
case.
Considerable evidence has been
collected and suit proceedings both
civilly and criminally will be started
against the alleged guilty party fol-
lowing the receipt of the chemists s
report.
The three dogs were found dead
last Wednesday morning by Charles
Barber, caretaker, in the absence of
the owner. One of the dead dogs
was valued at $1,000. 1t is under
stood that DR.. Bogardus will sue for
$4,000 fof the money value of his
property.
Strong circumstantial evidence has
been collected against neighbor,
who is reported to have been annoyed
by the animals. Neighbors on the
other sides of the doctors property
were never disturbed. Last year in
practically the same manner two dogs
we're killed belonging to DR.. Bogar-
dus, the animals dying from the eff
fects Of poison given them while the
doctor was out Of town, and other
dogs owned by him have met the
same fate In other years.
DR.. Bogardus is highly aroused
over this latest outrage and intends
to fight the matter to the end. The
recent, as well as the former poison
ing cases, are attributed to the same
person Or persons.

STATEN ISLAND
BOROUGH PRESIDENT
At ESTIMATE BOARD
Calvin Van Name Impressed
Members of the Board About
Needs of Richmond.
ypecfn, 10 The EVENINo NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Tottenville, August 1S.-Borough
President Van Name startled the
Board of Estimate again last week
at it's meeting. He is apparently
determined to awaken that body to
the possibilities of Richmond bor-
ough.
1t was plain that he impressed the
members of the board when he told
them that the only means of devel-
>Aping the Port for the benefit of
the city was by means Of the East
Shore of Staten Island.
The matter came up on resolu-
ton to appoint three experts, at an
nual salaries of $4,000 each, to
study the port problem. The bor-
ough president was on his feet in an
instant.
He ridiculed the idea of employing
men at the probable expense of $125-
000a year who would be likely to re-
port plans that would call for an ex-
penditure of three hundred millions.
These engineers, he believed,
would suggest remedies, whereby the
east shore of the harbor, Manhattan
and Brooklyn, should be developed,
This, said Mr.. Van Name, would in
all probability be useless, as the ul-
innate development of the port must
be on the west shore where direct
connection is possible through trunk
lines to the West and South.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is already being beset with
demands for the elimination of the
lighterage tax included in the freight
tariff to New York city when ship
ment is made to the west shore of the
port, and the diseontinuanee Of a uni
form rate for Manhattan and Brook
lyn on the east and Jersey and Stat
en- Island on the west would throw
the traffic to the west shore where
accommodations are the best-and
the best at present are in New Jer-
sey.
Ultimately New York city would
have to develop its western water
front, declared Mr.. Van Name, and he
urged that if any money was to be
expended that it be used in develop
ing the section with natural advan-
tages-Staten Islands waterfront es-
peeially on the east shore-instead
of trying to combat the disadvan-
tages Of the east which will always
have to contend with the bugaboo
of ligbterage charges.
The appointment of the port ex-
perts was laid over.

had not stolen 1t. He returned the
horse to Job late last night to avoid
any further trouble.

Brewery became the owner of the
business and the bar and fixtures
and furnished him top wagon. He
charges that In February, 1909, Leo
Schwartz induced him to sign a CHAT
tel mortgage for S275 covering the
back bar, pump and wagon, though
they were not worth $50. He claims
that SchTS.rtz said it was only a mat
ter of bookkeeping to keep the ac-
counts straight, and that no claim
would ever be made on the mort
gage. Biondi says he refused to sign
until Schwartz insisted that he
would incur no liability. He de-
clares that a second mortgage for
S216 on an ice box and double pump
was executed in the same manner,
and he only signed 1t with the under
standing that he would have no la
bility.
