IS FINE FOR KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT Flush the Kidneys at once when Back hurts or Bladder bothers. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores 80 they of sluggishly filter or strain part the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes ritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot (injure; makes a delightful effervescent drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious 'kidney sional thieves. The books of the firm bad not been disturbed, but the small cash drawers had been torn out and emptied of their contents. Albert H. Ackerman, the sole remaining member of the firm, in making an examination today discovered.

that the thieves had overlooked 15 cents in silver. Watchman's Body Found Lying Under Coal Pocket. Mr. Piquet had just made a mental photograph of the scene of wreckage, and was wondering what had become of the watchman when stableman Hocking came in, crying that the watchman had been murdered, and that his body was under one of the pockets near by. The clerk ran back with him to where the watchman lay.

It WAS not more than seventy feet from the office door. The watchman was lying on his back, with his hands and feet tied, and his head in pool of blood. His soft woolen cap was not far from the body. The two men ran out to find a policeman. Patrolman Christiansen, of the Brownsville station, was not far away and he went in and made a brief investigation.

Then he telephoned for an ambulance, and Surgeon McCarthy, of St. Mary's Hospital, arrived in a hurry. The doctor saw that life had been long extinct. Criminals Fail to Leave Fingerprints. In the meanwhile, word had reached the police station, and Captain Joseph Thompson, the detective inspector of the district, and Captain McKeon of the East New York precinct were soon on hand, with a number of other detectives.

Police Inspector Cohen, Captain O'Neill of the Brownsville precinct and Morris Eckler. the finger-print expert of the local Police Headquarters, followed without delay. The finger-print man made a close examination of the safe, the windows and desks, the drawers that had been despoiled of their contents and other parts of the building, but could not find a telltale finger-print. The burglars had worn woolen gloves, for there were many marks of the gloves on the safe doors, and it was plain that one of the menfor there must have been more than one -had worn a new pair of rubber shoes, for the marks were everywhere. A photograph of the dead man, just as he was found, was taken, for the use of the WILLETT'S COUNSEL MAKES STRONG PLEA Elder Argues.

That Editorial Was Wrongly Admitted at Trial. PICKS EVIDENCE TO PIECES. Cropsey Equally Emphatic in Argument Against Granting of Doubt Certificate. Making serious objection to the admission into evidence of a newspaper editorial, and the temper of the charge of Justice Jaycox to jury, Robert H. Elder today argued before Justice Blackmar in special term of the Supreme Court for certificate of reasonable doubt for William Willett, convicted more than three weeks ago of buying a Democratic nomination for the Supreme Court in 1911.

At outset it was apparent that Mr. Elder would not have as smooth sailing in securing certificate for Willett as he had when he won admission to bail for Cassidy and Walter. Cassidy came to the courthouse to confer with Mr. Elder on points of his appeal, and was an interested listener to his lawyer's argument in behalf of Willett. must object very seriously to the admission into the evidence of a newseditorial headed 'Tammany's Tainted said Mr.

Elder, "becausse the article was designed to highly influence the political prejudices of the jurors. We have in this second district a more exalted idea of courts and judges than they have even over in the first district, and to put such an article as this before Kings County men, your honor can see how it was very damaging. If the article went into evidence in violation of some established rule of law, it readily follows that the judgment should be reversed. If it were, needed to develop the case of the prosecution, it might have been admissable, but the situation made it unnecessary, and the article threw no light at all on the controversy. The record shows that the conversation between Ketcham and Willett on things at issue was clear and comprehensive and there was no reason or excuse at all for offering this article to shed light on the testimony of Surrogate Ketcham.

If it was necessary to introduce the article into endence, then it became necessary also to introduce into evidence every rumor that had been heard by Surrogate Ketcham or Mr. Willett or Mr. Callahan, Then the affidavits of Mr. Willett and Surrogate Ketcham, in which they charged criminal libel in the magistrate's court, as a result of the article, were allowed in evidence, too. How could those affidavits, or the details of them, go in unless it was on the theory that Willett admitted something that was against his interest.

And there wasn't even the shadow of testimony that he did." Justice Blackmar Inquires Concerning Affidavit. "Wasn't the affidavit put in with ref-! to the proposition that Willett erence withdraw the libel?" asked Justice Black mar. "Well, all three of them withdrew, their criminal libel charges," Elder. "They said that if Willett was innocent he would have prosecuted the case to a conclusion. If you can say that of Willett, it could also be said of Mr.

Ketcham and Mr. Callahan. But even the withdrawal of the libel charge would not justify putting in the article, which was part of the libel complaint in the magistrate's court. And the fact that the learned trial court very said the viciousness of the editorial should make it permissible as evidence, shows your Honor that it should not be there at all. Then, also, they admitted the statements of Surrogate Ketcham and Mr.

Callahan to the voters. Ketch- SNOW REMOVED FROM HAVEMEYER STREET, WHILE BROADWAY WAS PILED HIGH Havemeyer Street Cleaned. The accompanying pictures show the condition of two streets of the Eastern District yesterday. They show the clean condition of Havemeyer street, between Broadway and South Tenth street, a side street, and the snow heaped up on busy Broadway. Residents in the district have been commenting upon the method of removal in their neighborhood, saying that Broadway should have received first attention, detectives, and Captain careful Thompson examination and his men made a very the remains.

From the evidence it seemed to be plain that the thieves had encountered the watchman on his way back to the office from his round of clock -punching. He had been attacked in the open, a few eteps from the sheltered place where his body was found, for there was a pool of blood just outside the coal pocket structure. The theory of the police 18 that the thieves probably saw him before he saW them, and one of them struck him down from behind, with an iron bar or jimmy. The man may have made spasmodic and instinctive effort to help himself, but his struggles could not have lasted more than a second or two, for skull had been crushed in the blow. Bound Watchman After He Was Struck Down.

The thieves were not satisfied, apparcntly, that they had killed him, for they bound his wrists and his feet and carried him Into the coal pocket enclosure. The wrists were secured with a fourin -hand necktie, of cheap grade of silk, which had a gray, figured stripe running through it diagonally, The feet, at the ankles were secured with small twine, several strands rolled together. It WAS evident that the tying was done hurriedly, and the impression that he was thus secured just as he was dying. HOTEL MARGARET 97 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS. 3 Minutes' Walk from Borough Hall, Brooklyn.

SPECIAL FRIDAY EVENINGS DINER DANSANT, $2 PER PLATE Served from 6 Tables Reserved Parties. A Dancing Without Dinner, 81.00 Ea. DANCING in the SUN PARLOR From 8 to 12 P.M. Apply at the Hotel Office for CARDS OF ADMISSION THOMAS TOBY Manager am and Callahan both said they were innocent, and both inferred that Willett was guilty, in such language as to indicate they had come to that conclusion by reason of private investigation, thoughtful consideration and from private cources, of which the publie knew nothing. And because Dota these men are of unimpeachable integrity, and of standing in the community, your Honor can readily comprehend how very damaging such a statement, as evidence, was to Mr.

Willett. There was nothing to show that Willett acquiesced in that statement. When Ketcham showed Willett the statement he had been making to the voters, Willett said, 'I shall defend and that was a specific denial of the inferences. "Then they allowed testimony about the conduct of Marinus Willett, as to the taking up of the note and the check that proved to be worthless, although there was nothing to show that William Willett knew anything at all about it, because he was away at that time. "I am very sorry to say that we are here to object to the charge of the learned trial court to the jury.

The court took the points that were significant of guilt and passed lightly over those that were consistent with innocence. The court pointed out in detail that Willett was a lawyer, with the acute suggestion that he must have known of this law, and the court also spoke of his wallowing in the mire. Think of it! So the choice of phrase and the context of the testimony might be taken together as influencing and inflaming the prejudices of the jurors. I think the jury had a right to an opportunity to decide fairly whether Willett drew the money testifled to for the purposes of conducting his own campaign." "Justice Should Not Be Tied Hand and Foot," Is Comment of Court. "I don't think that a judge should be tied hand and interrupted Justice Blackmar, "and see a game played berore him.

He has a right to comment on a the evidence and tell the inferences that may be drawn, provided clearly states that it is left to the jury to determine the fact." District Attorney Cropsey, in opposing reviewed the testimony taken at the Willett trial, and traced the movements the conversation of Willett on the points of the bank loans and his tactics toward Ketcham and Callahan at the time the criminal libel charge was scheduled for a hearing in the police court. Mr. Cropsey emphasized the points in the testimony which showed that Willett drew. the money for the purposes of the nomination, tried hard to conceal it by asking Samuel R. Smith, during a midnight visit, to "keep it quiet and forget it," and that he had previously told Smith he wanted the money for the nomination.

Justice Blackmar will receive briefs within a day or so, and it is likely the week. will 1 give his decision before the end of SEATON A BROOKLYN FED Clever Philadelphia National League Pitcher to Play Here.

DEMAND ON GOVERNOR GLYNN The Governor's delay in making his appointments the vacancy in the Public Service Commission caused by the expiration of the term of Commissioner John E. Bustis hes many Brooklynites to feel the necessity for further inpressing him with the sentiment that exists in this borough for the selection of a Brooklyn man.

Borough President Pounds clearly reflected this attitude when he dispatched a telegram to Governor Glynn yesterday urging hini to act at once. In order to meet this demand and provide a uniform resolution for the many Brooklyn organizations which have expressed a desire to go on record in favor of an additional Brooklyn member on the Public Service Board, The Eagle has ed on heavy white paper, prepared a resolution, attractively, may be had upon application by mail or in person at the Eagle Building.

The ice biockade in the Hudson River between New York Yonkers remained intact today and the Federal authorities confessed themselves helpless to remedy the situation. A coal famine threatened Yonkers and 1,100 men employed at the Federal Sugar Refinery there faced the prospect of idleness unless the blockade was raised before the refineries used up their rapidly diminishing supplies of fuel and raw material. Captain John F. Wild, district commander of the United States Revenue Service, reported to Washington today that the ice had resisted the attacks of the cutter that tried to force a channel, and that special ice breaking steamers alone could cope with the situation.

Captain Wild said no attempt to use dynamite would be made. The surface of the river was jammed with broken ice cakes from 160th street in this city, north to where solid sheet ice began, and although dynamite might blow a few holes in this obstacle it could not open a channel I twelve miles long, which would be necessary to relieve the situation in Yonkers. Such an ice jam is unusual the waters near New York, and there are no ice breakers in the local harbor. The revenue cutter Manhattan, which steamed up the river to investigate the situation, reported that she coould not penetrate north of 160th street. The revenue cutters, while strongly built to withstand the assaults of storms at sea, are not fitted to ram ice.

The ferry boats between New York and! New Jersey plowed through drift ice, but their frequent trips the channels open and the ice in motion toward the sea. The harbor presented an Arctic appearance today. The upper and lower lower, bay were covered with ice unusually heavy, and incoming steamers found navigation slow and dangerous. The health officers found great difficulty in boarding incoming liners. OBITUARY.
