Blood Test Failed

Among themselves, the three decided before entering a court action, they would attempt to solve the problem by blood tests at the Indiana University School of Medicine, This plan failed. Mother and child had type two blood, while one man had type one and the other type four blood. The child was born Sept. 28 last year. Three days later it was registered with the State Health Board by the mother in the name of the 24-year-old man, not her husband.

| Senator Says New Jersey Election Aid Is Either a Fool or Dishonest.

NEWARK, N. J, Oct. 17 (U. P)) .— A witness testifying today before the U. S. Senate subcommittee in-

ties was characterized as a “damn fool or a dishonest witness” by {U. 8. Senator Charles F. Tobey {(R. N. H), one of the twp sub- | committee members. | Senator Tobey, who later apolo- | sized for the ‘damn fool’ part of | | his remark, flung his charge at Joseph L. O’Neill, Jersey City election board judge, after Mr. O’Neill told the committee he saw no difference between the signature of a voler as written in the registration book and as written in the poll book. Mr. O'Neill has been election board judge for the last 17 years of the Second District, Third Ward, one of the Jersey City districts where H. Ralph Burton, chief investigator for the committee, testified he had found discrepancies between registration and poll book signatures. On the registry book photostat the signature of a voter appeared as Mrs. Bridget Shanhan.

CITY SEEKS TENANT FOR HOUSE IN PARK

The Park Board today sought a tenant for the Municipal Gardens

Community House, which, members have concluded, has become a City liability. . The $125,000 building never has suited the need of the community it was built to serve, board members said. Its facilities have not been used extensively and it has suffered repeated vandal attacks, the latest of which caused $250 damage. The possibility of renting the building to a private or governmental organization arose during discussion of the cost of replacing window glass and sashes smashed several months ago by vandals. The board approved a $250 appropriation for repairs, indicating that they were not satisfied that the buildin was justifying the expense. :
