Cornell Medical Student Can’t

Stop Peeking Under Win* dow Curtains.

SUFFERS. HE SAYS. FROM A MORBID CURIOSITY

Reiter is of Prominent Family and Well Known in the

Oranges.

Arrested a* a ‘'Peeping Tom," Wal- ter Reiter, 24 years old, of 50 William

street, East Orange, a senior at the

Cornell School of Medicine, was fined

$25 today by Police Recorder bfott. "Morbid curiosity—a kind of hys-

teria," is the young man's own diag-

nosis of his peculiar weakness. He is one of the most popular mem-

bers of the younger society set in

East Orange. Heside being a graduate of Cornell University, with a degree of B. A„ he has almost completed his medical course.

He was the star end of the Baat Or-

ange High School champion football team in 1395, and an honor student In

his class. He has an ungovernable longing to

peep into windows. Tuesday night*he narrowly missed being snot oy an Infuriated man. East night detec- tives trapped him.

More than twenty complaints had been received by Chief of Police O’Neil from residents of the fashion- able Fifth ward section, where young Reiter resides. The last was from Henry Jordon, jr., of 37 North Eigh- teenth street.

Chased Peeper with f*nn. "Three nights in succession a man

has tried to peer into our bedroom." Mr. Jordon told the chief. On Tues- day. the third time. I took my re- volver and ran outside. I was bound T would catch the fellow, even if I had to slii'd him. hut he got away."

Chief O'Neil turned the case over to Detective Wendel and Policeman Wal- ker. who laid a trap for the Peeping Toni." They hid in the hushes near tlie Jordon home shortly before 6 o'clock last night.

Reiter soon appeared. He seemed to know just how to proceed. Cautiously looking up and down the street he dashed in among the shrubbery, placed an ash-box under u window, climbed up and looked In.

He was standing in that position when the policemen dashed out and made him a prisoner. He was taken

to the police station and placed in a cell.

In his possession he had several notebooks, some medical books and a stethescope. He said he was on his way home from college.

Before he was arraigned today on a technical charge of disorderly con- duct, his father pleaded long ana earnestly with the police and Recorder Nott to be lenient with the young stu- dent.

"I do not want to spoil your career," said the recorder, after young Reiter had pleaded guilty. "If I deal lenient- ly with you, it is not because your offense is not grave.

"A medical man. above all, (Might to have self-control. It Is very nec-

essary for him never to take ad-

vantage of his position." Then the recorder Imposed a fine of

*25. which Mr. Reiter paid for his son.

Young Reiter often serves as an in- terne In New York hospitals. He will be graduated In June. His father, Charles G. Reiter, is an insurance man in New York.

WOULD SAVE $1,000 BY USING CITY HALL CURRENT

Commissioner Biertumpfel Fa- vors New Plan for'Lighting. One of the first recommendations to

be made by Commissioner Albert H.

Biertuempfel, the new chairman of

the lighting committee of the Board of Works, will be to extend the munic-

ipal lighting system in the City Hall beyond the building. He will ask that the four big flaming arcs on Broad street and the street lamps about the hall be supplied with current from the hall plant.

If the board agrees the city, it is said, will be saved about $1,000 on its lighting bill. Mr. Biertuempfel is also preparing a report on the project to erect a combination garbage destroy- ing and lighting plant in the eastern section of the city.

A Coffee Cup

Contains Over 2\ Grains of Caffeine

Physicians recognize this drug to be of poisonous effect upon stomach, heart and nerves. Scientists employed by the U. S. Government found, in the famous Rabbit Case, that an amount of caffeine equivalent to that contained in two average cups of coffee killed a Rabbit.

What wonder then, if you are a coffee-drinker, that you suffer from indigestion, heart disturbance, headache and biliousness, sleeplessness, or nerve irritaten.

ffisT* Multiply 2 t/2 grains of caffeine by the number of cups of coffee you drink each day and you will determine the amount of poison you give yourself daily.

Eminent physicians are protesting against the present use of coffee. (Your family doctor can vouch for this.)

The aches and ills of your own body also protest when the burden becomes too heavy. Doesn’t your own common sense suggest that you quit coffee now?

The New Food-drink,

Irvstant Postum 0

offers the easy way.

This charming table beverage furnishes a hot drink of remarkable palatability. It has a rich seal brown color which changes to golden brown when cream is added. Tasting much like high-grade Java, it makes the ideal cup for those who want to get away from coffee troubles.

Instant Postum requires no boiling* It is made "quick as a wink” by pouring hot water upon a level teaspoonful of the powdef in a cup and stirring until

dissolved. Add sugar and cream to taste and you have a very fascinating beverage.

Grocers sell Instant Postum, 90 to 100-cup tins, 50c; 45 to 50-cup tins, 30c. Bp*. \ v

NEW ALMSHOUSE WORK DEFECTIVE

Inspector Reilly Condemns 2,000 Bricks and Tears

Down Wall.

> I Discovery of poor material and de-

fective work on the new almshouse on

Ivy Hill, South Orange township, has caused the building committee to closely inspect all other municipal buildings in course of construction. The almshouse is the only one of the structures being built that is watched by a city Inspector. The examination of the other places, such as firehouses and the new board of health buildings, will be made by the chairman and members of the committee.

The report of W. J. Reilly, Inspector on the almshouse, declared yiat he had condemned two thousand bricks shipped to the job, and had ordered the west wall of the boiler-house down because it was out of plumb. The* northeast corner of the administration building was ordered down for the same reason. He detailed the various kind of materials that had been dis- carded because they did not meet the specifications.

The work dbne by the inspector re- flected upon the wisdom of the com- mittee in stationing a man to oversee the building, His appointment for a time was questioned by the Civil Service Commission on the grounds that the position should go to a man on thef eligible list for building in- spectors connected with the city building department. As the work Is in no way connected with the depart- ment, the committee convinced the commissioners that their action in ap- pointing Reilly was in every way regular. A communication was re- ceived simultaneously with the in- spector's report to the effect that the commission was mistaken in question- ing the appointment.

After thirty-six years' service on the Newark police force Lieutenant John F. Cosgrove, of the Fifth.pre- cinct, has made application to the Board of Police Commissioners for retirement.

In the event that the application is acted upon favorably there will be several applicants for the position. Most prominent among those seeking a transfer are Lieutenant Thomas Connell, attached to the chief’s office, and Lieutenant Ernest E. Astley, a desk lieutenant at police headquar- ters. Influential friends of both can- didates are urging the appointment of their respective candidates.

It is predicted that at the meet- ing of the police commissioners to- day several changes in the depart- ment will be made, the appointment of Captain Michael J. Ryan, of the First precinct, to an acting inspector; the transfer of Captain William Car- roll, commander of the detective bu- reau, to the command of the First precinct, and the transfer of Captain Michael Long, of -the Fifth precinct, to the command of the detective 1 j- reau.

LAMPBLACK AND FLOUR ARE DRIVER’S WEAPONS

Robert Henderson, of 1218 South Broad street, was fined $25 today by Judge Hahn, in the First Criminal Court, on the charge of assault and battery.

Jacob Robin, of 135 Barclay street, the complainant in the case, pre- sented himself in the First Precinct station-house yesterday covered with lampblack, which he claimed Hender- son had put on him. Policemen in the station-house used a quart of gasoline to clear up the man's dis- figured countenance. He also reported that Henderson, who is a driver for Levy & Co., of 50 Commerce street, had about a month ago emptied a sack of flour over his head.

adequate. I understand the Federal Court is to hold two sessions a year here in the future, if a suitable room can he obtained. The federal building is the logical place for a court of thiB sort, but there is no room for it here.

"In my mind Newark needs a new postofflce and needs it as quickly as it can be erected."

After their Inspection of the post- offlce the congressmen walked down Tark place and viewed the property adjoining Proctor’s Theatre as a pos- sible location for the new office.

After this they were taken in auto- mobiles through the manufacturing districts of the city.

Very few of the visitors had a cor- rect idea of the size of Newark. They went up to the top of the Firemen’s building and several of them, seeing the vast stretch of factories anc} buildings, thought they were looking upon New York city.

Luncheon was served at the Wash-

ington, after which the congressmen departed for Washington at 12:30 on the Pennsylvania railroad.

CENTRAL RESERVE!

Delegation of Business Men Be- fore Currency Committee

Indorses Plan.

WASHINGTON,* Jan. 9.—Having listened for two days to bankers and

experts on economics, the itouse com- mittee today began examination of

representative business men on their views to the necessity for changes In the financial system. The first wit- ness on the day’s list, was D. G. Endy, of the firm of Artmann’-Trelchler

Company, of Philadelphia, chairman of the banking and currency commit- tee of the National Creditmen’s As-

sociation. Before the hearings are ended' the

committee expects to hear represen- tatives of wholesale and retail mer- chants, farmers’ organizations and or- ganized labor.

Mr. ndy’s delegation indorsed a central reserve bank similar to the

one ’proposed by the National Mone- tary Commission. The delegation, headed by O. Endy Included Charles D. Joyce, Philadelphia; J. H. Tregoe,- Philadelphia; W. W. Orr, New York and G. W. White, Washington. The credit men presented a Joint state- ment of their views as to how bank-

ing and currency systems of the United States should e reformed.

Chairman Glass reminded the dele-

gation that the Democratic party was committed against the central bank proposition, and asked whether a system of regional reserve banks would not be an improvement upon the present situation.

Mr. Tregoe replied that while regional reserve banks were desir- able, it was essential to have a cen- tral institution as a capstone to the whole scheme.

MRS. AYRES MADE

HEADJff LEAGUE Succeeds Mrs. John Sherwin

Crosby, Who Bitterly Op- posed Her.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Mrs. Steven B. Ayres, of New York, was this afternoon elected president of the Women's National League by a vote of 38 to 28. There were stormy scenes

at the convention before the election

was effected. When Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, pres-

ident general of the D. A. R., mounted the platform" to place In nomination for president of the league, Mrs. | Ayres, Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby, j whom Mrs. Ayres succeeds, In- vited Mrs. Scott to quit the platform and make" her nomina- tion from the floor. The announce- ment was greeted with hissing from one part of the hall. Mrs. Scbtt nom- inated Mrs, Ayres from her place on the floor. Mrs, Croteby already had been nominated.

A debate developed over the cre- dentials,of Mra. Medill Parker, of the Women’s Democratic Club of New York. The credentials committee was- called upon to decide her right to a | seat on the floor.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and her en- | tire family and the Daughters of the j American Revolution are playing a j part in the contest. It Is said that j Mrs. Wilson desires the election of Mrs. Ayres, and this assertion 's bearing fruit.

A resolution to whleh'many of the women object provides for the estab- j llshment of headquarters of the league In each suffrage State and in New York, Chicago, Pittsburg, Boston and Washington. The objectors hold that j recognition of the suffrage'States, as such, would virtually commit the league to the suffragist cause, while 'the object for which the organization 1 was formed, in their opinion, is the study and ititerpretatton of Demo- cratic principles.

Because of the intensity of the fight for supremacy between the two fac- tions, the letter of President-elect Wilson on the "Principles of Dem- ocracy" probably will not be read un- til late In the day. It has been looked forward to as a feature of the con- vention.

not control the management if I wanted to do anything the others did not want done.” Mr. Baker added that the management of the First National was a "sort of happy fam- ily.”

Mr. Baker testified that three di- rectors of the First National wers directors in the Chase National. He said he was a director in the Astor Trust Company, the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company and the Guaranty Trust. In the Guaranty Trust, he said, lie was also a voting trustee.

Mr, Baker said he understood that the “alert financial men,” who or- ganized the Bankers' Trust Company, wanted to take over the Guaranty Trust Company, and they put in a voting trust to prevent any one else securing control.

"Do you think a voting trust is a proper method of management?” asked Mr. Untermyer. ^

“I see nothing improper in it.” This statement Mr. Baker main-

tained through a long examination. The committee then recessed for

luncheon.

Mrs. Dalrymple Files Cross Bill in Husband's Divorce Action. supplementing her original answer

with charges of misconduct on the part of her husband, Mrs. Virginia* Dalrymple, of New Brunswick, today filed a cross-petition in the divorce proceedings brought by him. Further testimony in the action, which is brought on the grounds of desertion, was heard before Special Master Francis Child today.

The husband, William M. Dalrym- ple, in his petition, alleges that his wife left him without cause two years after they had been married. They formerly lived with his mother at Livingston Park, North Brunswick.

When the case was called today Charles T. Cowenhoven, as counsel for Mrs. Dalrymple, applied to the court for permission to file his supplemen- tary answer, which was granted. It charged the petitioner with miscon- duct before and after the couple were separated.

The Dalrymples were married on August 16, 1906, at Metuchen, by the Rev. Edward V. Searle, pastor of the First Reformed Church, of that place. They lived together until July 22, 1908, when the wife is alleged to have left home, taking with her the couple's only child, Dorothy, who is 4 years old. After leaving her husband Mrs. Dalrymple spent two days with a cousin before she was taken to her parents’ home by her father.

FEEL SHAKY, BILIOUS, HEADACHY • OR CONSTIPATED? TAKE CASCARETS

Sick headaches! Always trace them to latsy liver, delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or a sick stomach. Poisonous, constipated matter, gages and bile generated in the bowels, in- stead of being carried out of the sys- tem, are reabsorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, sickening headache.

Cascarets remove the cause by stimulating the liver, making the bile and constipation poison move on and

out of the bowels. The effect Is al- most instantaneous. Ladies whose sensitive organisms are especially prone to sick headaches need not suf- fer, for they can be quickly cured by Cascarets. One taken tonight will straighten you out by morning—a lo- cent box will keep your head clear, stomach sweet, liver and bowels .regu- lar and make you feel bright and cheerful for months Children need Cascarets, too—they love them be- cause they taste good and never grips or sicken.
