"In which cipaclty do you enter a private
residence, a a (lorry agent or a Hoard of
I Health Inspector'" uked the lawyer.
Both." was the answer.
The Magistrate looked up several law books
lid found that the Hoard of Health had power
to enter houe without a warrant to examine
th ilum.liiK and other banltarr nrranco
rcent "Dutthls agent doesn't ko to Mrs. Land
grf plice to eximlne the sanitary nrranes

Ad'er
He wants to etimlno the premises to see If
there Is a lrlnu' In Institution concealed In
lomi of the cornors "
"Thit'i what I want to find out." the Gerry
tent rejoined. "If she keep n lylne-ln place
without a licence .She's a midwife nnd likely
to run such an et.ilillshment."
"lour Honor, let mo tell you what this
agent has done under the name of a Hoard of
Health Inspector." said tho lawyer. "It's ojt
rtseousthat the law should permltsuch thlncs.
He went to her house, told her that he was an
Inspector from the Hoard of Health and had
authority to examine the snnltary arrange
ment) of the place She admitted him. and he
went from room to room, but did not look at
tht'Dlumblne. He did look nt Mrs. Landeraf
daughter, ivho nas in bed. howeior. Not only
did he look at her. but he very badly fright
ened her hy the volley of question he flred nt
her He wanted to know who she was. nnd then
netended he did not believe her answers. If
a Boird of Health Inspector may Invade the
privacy of our homes nnd frighten younc wo
men who are abed, then it Is time tho law
curbed such despotic rower. If It was sim
ply the act of a Gerry agent, the Hoard of
Health should not lend its authority to such un
warranted proceedings."
The Magistrate said that to long ns the
Gerrr aceat had authority to act as an Inspec
tor of the Health Department he could enter
t residence nlthout a warrant to examine the
sanitary arrangements. Mr. Landgraf re
plied that ehe had no objection to the Gerry
acent entering her place to make such an ex
amlnitlon. but ihe did not want him Drvlnir

ter's ledroom.
"If you permit him to enter, there I noth
ing further for m to do," said Magistrate
Olmsted, a ha threw thelsummons In the
waste b?ket.
Henry Blown of 47S Third aienue called at
the court later and asked If there wan some
money there which had been taken from his
brother. Kdwnrd, 1.1 yeirs old. In the rooms of

Mr. Flynn's Suit to Annul the Lense to Oo
to Trlnl Knrly In Mny.
Argument was had before Supreme Court
Justice Dickey in Ilrooklvn yesterday on the
motion made on behalf of l'atrlck H, Hynn to
continue tho tempornry Injunction restraining
the Nnssau I'.lectrlo Itallroad Compuny from
leasing Its system to the llrooklyn Height
Hnllroad fJomcany for a year from April fl. and
as a. result the Injunction was dissolved. James
C. Church, who appeared for Mr. I'lyun. said
that the Xnssau Company had JO.OUO.OOO of
preferred and $7,000,000 of common stock nnd
that Mr. Flinn ownod $1,500,000 of common
sto;k.
"Certain pooplo Interested la tho Haold
Transit Company," ho slid. ' negotiated with
stockholders of the Xnssau Company to obtain
possession ot two-thirds of the stock of the
Nassau, This thev wanted so they could con
trol tho directors' meetlngsof tho Nassau Com
pany They got what they wanted and Imme
diately the dlro:tora who were not In sympa
thy with them reIgned. and in their place
were put l'resldent Howon, Hugh J. Grant of
Manhattan and others, so that they mljshtact
practically n clork of tli Ilapld Transit Com
pnny. ltwasaneasvmntternfter this toxote the '
lenso of tho Nassau Company to tho Ilapld Trnn
sit Company for f 150,000 a j ear. A few hours
after the lease was made tho Coney Islnnd unit
Urnieend Itallroad Company, n perfectly sol
vent concern, of which Mr. Flinn Is l'resldent.
offered to nny $.r)().0O0 a year for tho lease."
lornioi I.leiit.-(lpv. Sheelnn. whonpneared i
fpr the Hrooklin Heights Compuny. said tint '
the lease wns executed at 1 o'clock on Monday I
nnd ntlio clock tho llrooklyn Helgh's Company
wa nctuallv In possession of the property, lie
said that Mr. Codicil, who Is tlio Secretary of
the Coney Islnnd and Gravesend Company and
who was nt tho meeting of tho directors when
the leaee was voted upon, gaie no intimation
that his company wns willing to nay anything
for tho lease. He said that President lloweu
deposed that Mr. lhnu's holdings did not ex
ceed fHVJ.OOO.
Mr. Sheohnn said there was a deficit of J'JilO -TOO
in tho Ni'ssiu Company Inst year and if
the proper entries hud been mado tho dollclt
would havo been much grenter. "The Hrook
lin ltapld Transit Compnni." he continued,
owns SO per cent of the st ick of tho Nnssau
Compaiii and so is naturally tho most Inter
ested Wo did not buy that stock under false
impressions either. The gentlemen who
talked about the profits of the NatsUu did sot
fool us In tho least "
Ho said that Hie Hrooklin Heights Company
was to rav $l.riO,(KHj n year In cash, pay all the '
taxes and fixed charges, anil it was estimated
that tho lease was actually worth to tho Nas
sau Company nbout SWA-tlii. Mr Hlieehan
said he was positive that If tho Nassau Com- '
pany operated its road for nnother year tinder
the increased competition that it would not
be able to cam Its llxed charges,
' How do ion expect to do it'" asked Justice
Diikov. "Ilv better management?"
"Ves." renlled Mr Shechan. "The joint op
eration of tho road nnd the fact that they will
not run In competition will make it cheaper "
Justice Dickey suggested that the matter be
tried next month, nnd as this was accepted he
said that he would no, continue the injune
Hon, ns this might demoralize one sUe or the
other. The case will go to trial the llrst Mon
day in May.

Sir Henry Bcholfleld. Knt , Bnc , who died In
i Jsrsoy City ou Thursday, was an actiis figure
more than n score of icnrs ago In nn Interna-
, tlonnl episode of a sort which. In varying de
grees. Great Hrltalu has mado familiar In tho
I world's history. He wai Mr Scholfleld before
, the Incident nnd became Sir Henry by reason
of his action In It. He was a natlie Lngllsh
man who spoilt a pirt of his early life In Can
uda. marrying n Miss Cockeln, n daughter of
Capt. Cockeln of Halifax. In 1H7'J ho became
I Hritlsh Consul in Chmtomnla, remaining as such
until 18S0. and from June to November. 1870.
, being In chnigs of the Hritlsh Legation there.
Among the Hrltons then in Guatemala was
I John Magoe. a coftee planter and British Vice
Consul, who prospered nnd has slnco lived In
l'nrls. Mr. Magee was the representative of a
Hritlsh company which had acquired certain
I wharf rights at tho port of San Jose", but ho did
not get on well. It Is said, with Gen. Ruflno
Uarrios, then l'resldent of tho republic.
Hnrrlos sent to be commandant of the port
a man named Gonzales, who, according to Mr.
Scholllold's friends, carried orders to harass
Magee. Finding something unsatisfactory to
him one day about the wharf In which Mageo
was Interested, he sent for Maceo to como to
him. Mages sent back word that he was busy
then nnd could not come. Th commandant
bent again, and, Magee not responding, sent a
squad of soldiers lo arrest him. The rngllsh
man was taken bcfire tho commandant, who
ordersil him fixed face downward to the
around, so to suiter In publlo 200 strokss with
npiecoof aane. The beating was inflicted
with eucli offect that nlturward shreds of Mi
gee's clothing had to bs extrnctod with In
struments from hi body.
Gonzales had ordered the telegraph office
closed before the punishment of Mo,gce. A
telegraph operator who had been Indebted to
Mr. Scholflold for his place oi ened the office
nnd sent a message lo Mr. Scholfleld at tho
capital. Mr. Scholfleld went to l'resldent Har
rlos and demanded nn oxplnnntlon. which was
made, after somo sort of Inquiry, to the effect
that the Hrltisli official's version of it rrnsn t
accurate.
Mr. Scholfleld sent a special messenger to
Ihe uort. n 1th orders to take the llrst steamer
to Panama and cable a report of the alTnlr to
the lorelgn Olllco This requited -omo.davs
The tallroid had not then been built and the
journey from the capital tothe port hadllo bo
I mndoon horseback. The American Annual F.n
oclopedia snys that Magee whipping took
Place In Apt II. but Mr Scholfleld version of
I tho episode would put It earlier in the j ear. as,
according to that, his messenger sent the ca
ble despatch to Gladstone, who went out of of
fice and was suiceedad o Disraeli on Fob. 21,
According to this ston, word came from Mr
Gladstone that Jialkan difficulties were occu
pung so much attention just then that Hrl'ish
residents' eases would haie to wait a while.
I'pon receiptor this answor Consul bcholfleld
sent the messenger back to I'anainu to cibJo
his resignation. All this took time, nnd in
the meanwhile Disraeli had come Into olllce,
and his reply to Scholfleld was that tlio Hritlsh
Pacific Bquadrcn Had been ordered a, .tho
Consul's disposil nnd that full reparation was
to be demanded
Admiral Cochrane, with six wnrslilo and
fl.UOO marines, came to the pert of San .lose, a
