EXCESSIVE DRINKING
CHARGE UNDER PROOF
Insurance Company Fails to
Get Policy Cancelled.

What constitutes excessive drinking
This question was raised yesterday be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Foster at Newark
In suit brought by the Massachusetts,
Mutual Life Insurance Company to can
Gel $4,000 insurance policy which
Charles A. Schroeder of Lakewood OBJ
tanned year ago. Schroeder at that
time swore that he did not drink to ex-
cess and the insurance company alleged
this was untrue. DIR. Morton Snow,
medical director of the company, was
asked the above question and said the
old English standard fixed moderate in
dulgence at two ounces a day, but the
director conceded that a man could
drink four ounces on Monday and then
nothing for the rest of the week and yet
be considered moderate drinker.
Half dozen witnesses were called,
but none of these ever had seen
Schroeder under the influence of liquor.
The chancellor dismissed the suit allow
ing Schroeder 500 for counsel fees.

EASTER SNOWSTORM
JUST SEVEN YEARS AGO
Ten Inches Fell, Surprising
City on April 3, 1915.

Yesterdays fine weather served by
contrast TO recall that it was just seven
years since the famous Easter snow
storm of April 8, 1915. struck New York
and caused loss of 100000. Approx
nately ten inches of snow fell, estab-
fishing new April record. The old
mark had been made on April 9, 1907,
when 5.5 inches fell.
The 1915 storm was the most severe
of the year. and was a freak. 1t began
inauspiciously and was not at first
taken seriously. not even by the Street
Cleaning Commissioner, but later Mr..
Fetherston found it necessary to call out
every available man for shoveling and
carting. The twenty-six plows of the
department. were put in operation. BY
night the city had taken on a Christmas
like appearance.
The storm was accompanied by a
sixty mile gale, and many persons were
injured by falling signs. Telegraph and
telephone operation was interfered with
and so were train schedules. Four
steamships were prevented from sailing
and the surface and elevated lines We're
delayed. The snow continued falling
through the night. but on Easter Sun
day the mercury rose and rescued the
city from it's snow blanket, and hot
sun throughout the day saved New
Workers 100000.

Civil War Veteran Sees
Cowardice in Bonus Raid
Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD

Washington ID. O., April 3.

Special Dispatch TO The NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C.. April 3.
A VETERAN of the civil war
~ living in Minnesota has sent
this protest against the
bonus question to Republican
Senator:
II was a soldier in the civil war
at SIS month, with money worth
fifty cents on the dollar. When
discharged at Chattanooga in June.
1865, we rode to Chicago in box
cars without any seats. / never
applied for nor received an in
valid pension. When we compare
the treatment received by tie SOL
diers in the civil war with that ac-
corded the men of the world war
we rejoice that the world moves
and has learned how to care for
the soldier.
But whoever heard OF a civil
war or a Revolutionary War vet
eran clamoring for a bonus. Mill
tary service is a duty every able
bodied man owes to his country
when necessity demands 1t. Dol
lars and cents cannot pay for
patriotic services. In my opinion
the bonus bill will owe its victory
to political cowardice and not fear
less craftsmanship"

Historic Fort
 To Be Preserved

Prairie Du Chien, Wis, April 28- Preservation and eventual reconstruc- tion of historic Fort Crawford. is fore cast by the action of the Prarie du Chien chapter of the D. A. A. in se- curing an option on the property from w. R- Graves, it's owner in an effort to preserve it for historical purposes.
 Fort Crawford was the most famous of any of the forst in the Northwest. The original post, Fort Shelby, was built during the war of 1872. Hardly had the first America troops taken possession of it, when a detachment of British troops, reinforced Ly In ,dfans, came down the Wisconsin river and laid seige to it. The garrison year the Union Jack floated over the frontier post, and southern Wisconsin was part of the British empire.
 At the close of the war of 1912 the forst was evacuated and shortly after ward most of the buildings were gut ted by fire.
 The American government then re- built the fort on the same site, call ing 1t Fort Crawford Later a new site was chosen mile south on higher ground and a larger Fort Crawford was erected.
 Zachary Taylor, later President of the United States. was commandant of 1t at one time. One of his heuten- ants was Jefferson Davis, who led the Southern Confederacy through the Taylor'S daughter and married her, to the great displeasure of the com mandant. The fort surgeon was pr. Beaumont; whose assistant. Martin St. Alexis, had a bullet hole in his stom- Rch- Though this hole, pr. Beaumont studied the processes of digestion. The experiments thus conducted still form the major part of the knowledge med tcal science has of the stomach and its functions. St. Alexis is mention ed in many school physio1ogies.
 Others stationed at the fort at vari- ous times were the historian, Henry Schoolcraft. the artist, George Calvin, and General William Clark, Lewis, Cass and Winfield Scott.
 The treaties of 1926 and 1890, wherein the Indians traded away the last of their lands east of the Missis- stppi river. were signed at Fort Craw- ford. The Black Hawk War centered about it, and Abraham Lincoln, then a young lieutenant was stationed at the fort during this conflict Chief Blackhawk was taken to the post as a prisoner after his capture by the Winnebago chiefs after the route of the Sacs and Foxes at the Battle of 0Sa Near axe the site ofN fort is For, Crawford cemetery, where those who died during their term of service were buried. The netery is government owned and we'll cared for.
