Tho Hazel law was declared unconstitu
tional by the Supremo Court. It was
drafted to prevent Intra-State traffic In

liquor being sent to thirsty Delawareans
from outside tho State.
As i result, Philadelphia. Chester and
Baltimore havo boen dolntr brisk business.
while Wilmington wholesale liquor dealers
have suffered.
A legislative commltteo to probo tha

WOMAN'S PHYSICIAN
THREATENS ROGERS.
WITH DISCLOSURES
Lawyer Promises to Wed
1 Mother Who Poisoned
Babies When His Wife
Has Obtained a Divorce.
NEW TORK, Jan. 11. Threats of more
sensational disclosures In the tragedy ot
Ida Snlffen Rogers were made this after
noon by Dr. Walter Hague, her physician,
boforo ho was called as the first witness
beforo the Grand 'jury Investigating tho
killing of her Imblen by the woman.
Theso disclosures. Doctor Haguo Inti
mated, would place tho woman before
tho public In a better light.
"I don't want to tell all I know about
tho case to tho Grand Jury," Doctor
Haguo Bald. "I want to confer with Mrs. J
Walter's attorney. If I find out that
Lorleys Elton Rogers Is trying to save
his own skin at tho expense ot this noble
woman I'll turn loose a blast that will
mako Laura Jean Llbbey look like a
piker."
Rogers has promised Mrs. Walters
Rogers that Bho shatl become his legal
wife, when his present wife divorces him.
The wdman, whoso babies, John, i
years old, nnd Lorida, 8 months old, died
from bichloride ot morcury which she
gavo thom before taking the poison her
self, renowed her assurances to thoso
attending her In Lebanon Hospital to
day that she would not try to take her
life again.
But District Attorney Martin, of tho
Bronx, feels that at any moment the
patient may bo ovcrcomo by the thought
that she has killed her children and
therefore by his orders two policemen
have been put on guard over her.
One stands near the window of her room
on the third floor of the hospital over
looking the high rock bluff below. Tho
other stands by her bedside, ready to
restrain her If she attempts to do herself
harm. Theso policemen were Instructed
by Captain Burke, of tho Morrlsanla Po
lice Station, to keep Rogers from tho
room now that Mrs. Rogers-Walters has
rotalncd counsel.
Among thoso who will appear beforo
tho Grand Jury, which will begin to in
vestigate tho whole Rogers tangle today,
aro A. Dl Bella, a druggist, with a store
at Plimpton and Boscobcl avenues, In
tho Bronx. Ho remembers having sold
many articles to Mrs. waaers-itoBcrB,
but he cannot remember selling her any
bichloride of morcury, and Dr. W. Grant
Haguo, Mrs. Rogers physician cannot
romembor having written n prescription
for tho poison.
WALNUT SEES PERIL
OF LEGISLATIVE CRISIS
Fears "Whip of Patronage" May En
danger Civil Service Bill.
The present situation botween Governor-elect
Brumbaugh and tho Legisla
ture, which might develop into a crisis
where tho whip of patronago would bo
used to keep the Legislature In line, has
caused the framora ot a Statewide civil
sorvlco bill, which will bo introduced
during tho present session, much concern.
"It would bo a matter of regret If the
5000 or more positions in the State were
to embarrass the proposed State civil
service law in which both Dr. Brum
baugh and tho Civil Service Reform As
sociation are Interested," said T. Henry
Walnut, an Independent and a member
of the Executive Committee ot tho asbo
clation. "Tho present situation nnd a
possible crlBls emphasize the fact that
under a State civil sen-ice law theio
would not be so much reason for a clash
over patronago between the Chief Exoc
Utlvo and tho Legislature, for then the
Legislature would not have bo much In
fluence over the Governor and tho Gov
ernor would not have so much Influence
over thp Legislature.
"Legislation would be enacted more
under the auspices of public opinion, un
affected by tho matter of patronage.
Fights over Jobs sometimes distort or
stitlo legislation. It may .under tho pres
ent Bjstem, more frequently happen that
Jobs would havo moro Influence over
legislation than would the good or evil
Inherent in the proposed legislation,"

as Defendants in Action.
A suit to recover a quarter of a million
dolors In securities and cash, which ho

tho profits of the sole of the option, and
says McDonnell transferred all of the
shares of the American Rlncon Mining
Company to the Mexican Rlncon Mining
pomponv for tm.fa, but never notified
him or the transfer or accounted to him.
Tha Corporation auarante and Trust
Conrpany, one of the defendants. Is named
because it was engaged by the Mexican
company to keep an accurate record of
the salo of Its stook, and Alexander asks
that It be enjoined from allowing the
transfer of- any stock now standing In
the name of Hugh McDonnell on the
books of the Mexican company.
Alexander also seekB to have the court

the revival. To him "Billy" Sunday Is
the "best ever."
"It's all very well about not frightening
people Into religion," one trall-hltter said,
"but It took only two minutes to convert
me, and, honest to goodness, I would
novor have been converted liad I not
been afraid of hell and damnation."
"I hear 'Billy' Sunday Is a Catholic
when It comes to divorce," one dainty
young woman remarked. "I don't know
whether I ngreo with him or not. That
would depend upon the man, I reckon."
Attendants aie chuokllng over tho In
vitation "Billy" Sunday received from
"Tony" Blddle to como and dine. The
"Invito" came by mall, and "Tony" ad
drossed Sunday aa Doctor. "BUly" In
answering said that If Mr. Blddlo called
him doctor agnln he would simply have
to pass up the Invitation. "Just plain,
everyday 'Billy' Is plenty good enough
for me," ho said.

"SANDBAG COMMITTEE"
UNWITTINGLY VOTED FOR
Canvass of State Senators Shows
They Were Taken Unawares.
A canvass of tho members of the Penn
sylvania State Senate has rcvenlod tho
fact that a great number of tho Senators
did not realize the significance of their
action last week when thoy voted fa
vorably on the resolution presented by
Senator Crow, providing for the appoint
ment of a "Committee on Executive Nom
inations "
Tho body created under tho Ciow reso
lution hns been termed tho "Sandbag
Committee," and to It will be Intrusted
for confirmation nil appointments made
by the Governor during tho four years
of his term. It Is generally agreed In
political circles that at tho dictates of
tho Republican Organization this commit
tee can hold a powerful club over tho
head of Governor-elect Brumbaugh should
his nominations not meet with tho ap
proval of tho Organization leaders.
Some of tho Senators expressed sur
prise that they had voted for tho Crow
resolution nnd others declared they would
stand by Governor Brumbaugh In case
of a dispute In the Senate over his nom
inations. Ono of the Senators, who admitted he
was taken unawares by tho Crow lesolu
tlon, pointed out that under tho arrange
ment nil nominations might be marked
"mado by Brumbaugh" and "Indorsed by
Penrose."
SHIPPING MEN ASK REPEAL
OF SECRET MANIFEST ORDER
Treasury Regulation Places Outbound
Vessels Under British Suspicion.
Shipping men said today that It was
tlmo for tho Secretary of the Treasury
to rescind his order to conceal t)ie mani
fests of outward-bound steamships for
30 days after the vessels sailed. If he wns
slncero In his desire to assist In the
transportation of American goods abroad,
Theso men condemned tho order when
It was first Issued several weeks ago and
they declared that It would cause Great
Britain to consider eveiy vessel leaving
American ports under suspicion. This Is
borne out In the reply of England to tho
United States' protest, which reads In
part as follows
"SlnLe tho outbreak of the war tho
Government of the United States has
changed its previous practice and has
prohibited tho publication of manifests
till 30 dajs after tho departure of vessels
from tho United States ports. We had
no 'locus Btnndl' for complaining of this
change, and did not complain. But the
effect of It miiBt be to Incrense tho dif
ficulty of ascertaining the presence of
contraband, and to render necessary In
tho Interests of our national safety the
examination nnd detention of more ships
than would have been tho case It the
former practice had continued."
