ISAAC NEWTOWN LOVE, WHO DIED ON SHIPBOARD. Mr. Stickney wanted to adjourn until to-morrow, but this was denied unless he @losed the case for his client. Then Mr. Btiokney said he wanted to recall Mr. Byan, who was not present. “What do you wish to prove by Mr. Ryan? Perhaps we might concede it,” @aid Mr. Gutnrik “I don’t know, “That's just It, rie. “Oh, well, we have proved a great @eal more than we expected," retorted Mr. Btickney. Tt was then Justice Scott made his comment. In anticipation that Albert Stickney, teounsel for Isidor Wormser, jr., in his ult to upset the lease of the Metro- poiltan Street Railway to the Interurban would recall William C. Whitney, and that Patrick H, Flynn, the Brooklyn street failway magnate, would be put on the stand, Justice Scott's court was erowded to-day. Double Flank Movement. ‘The flank movement of Mr. Stickney by which he made the masters of the Metro- polittan, the bankers who underwrote the @cheme and the manipulators of whole project witnesses for Wormser, fhas been met by a counter movement by |W. G. Guthrie, of counsel for the Inter- urban. He has, in cross-examination of his friends, turned them all to good ac- count and it was said to-day that no Gefense would be offered. The case will be left with Justice Scott on the evi- dence presented by Mr. Stickney plus that adduced by Mr. Guthrie in cross- examination. ‘e "The testimony of Willlam C.

Louis A. Helnsheimer, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., was recalled. He Identified a list of those interested in the syndicate to which was allotted the $6,600,000 of the Metropolitan Securities stock. He ex- ained to Justice Scott that $1,500,000 of was received by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. as compensation for financing the scheme, and that this included all the expense of organizing the Interurban and the Securities Company, which Included the $807,000 paid to the Morton Trust Com- pany for its services as depositary, Henry A.

Stockholders Not Protected. “The interests of the general stock- holders were not taken care of, and this great property was to be manipulated by these gentlemen, who controlled the di- rectors for thelr own benefit. “These $11,000,000 bonds were never considered of importance by any one, cos P protest.” broke in Mr. Guthrie, ‘this js a place for a judicial trial, not for a contest of shrewdness. It is dis- tinctly unfair to make these insinuations offhand, especially in view of Mr. Stickney's opening statement that it not be charged that there was any intentional frau, "T don't care that!" shouted Mr. Stick- ney, and “that” with a loud snapping of his thumbs. Justice Scott interposed. excluding the testimony Mr. Stickney essayed to draw out as not material. P. H. Flynn On the Stand, Patrick H. Flynn, the Brooklyn street railway magnate, was called, Mr. Fiynn said he was never in Met- ropolitan and had nothing to do with the organization of the Metropolitan Securities Company. Mr, Stickney in- quired about several Immense checks payable to him by the Morton Trust Company. One was for $1,185,000, signed by Robert Walker for the Metropolitan Securities Company and dated in March, 1902, He said they represented a loan he got from the Morton Company and had no connection with M a tan lease, but with the purchase of @ Westchester railroad. Mr. wtickney tried to show, thet some- body had paid $200,000, which Kuhn, Loeb & Company, lent to Flynn on his note. Mr. Flynn said he had not paid it. ‘Yet it has been testified here that Kuhn, Loeb & Company no longer hold said Mr, Stickney. ‘“T have iearned here that my note was taken up by the Metropolitan Securities Company,” sald Mr. Flynn. Note Mysteriously Taken Up. “The note was given by you last Jan- uary to Kuhn, Loeb & Company and taken up by ‘the Securities Company without your knowledge?” “Apparent! ‘And you No, sir.” It_was developed that the $800,000 pald to Flynn by the Morton Trust Company was in payment for the roads and fran- chises owned by Flynn in the Bronx and Westchester County and purchased by, Kuhn, Loeb Co., for the Inter- urban when it was organized, two ago. Mr. Stickney calls it the first step in. the “constructively fraudulent” scheme by which the big men politan “milked it.” Mr. ickney asked if he might ox- amine Mr. Flynn's private check-book and seemed surprised when Mr, Flynn replied: “Certainly, certainly.’ hing came of \t, however, and Mr. Flynn left the stand a moment later.

Love. the noted physician and writer on medical tonles, dropped dead in the dining saloon of the Cunard liner Auranla as she was steaming through the upper bay, bound In, to-day. The elghty-nine cabin passengers and the officers of the ship were in the room when Love was stricken. He died instan. The voyage had been so pleasant that the pass+ngers got together yesterday and appointed a committee of five to prepare resviations of commendation to be presented to the officera and crow. Dr. Love was chairman of the commit- tee. Other members were Rev, Dr. Horsefield, Mr. McCall and Mr. F. A, Mosely. Dr. Love had been the life of the ship since her departure from Liverpool.

Be- fore he could speak he clapped his hands to his head and fell to the floor. Dr. Billad, the ship's surgeon, was seated next to Dr. Love and pronounced the popular passenger dead as soon a3 he touched him. Body Taken to Pie: ‘The body was taken from th the pler and held there to await structions from the widow and children of Dr, Love. Officers of the ship notified the police and the Coroner.

At her request Dr. Love sailed with her, to be on hand in case her condition should take a se- rious turn. After seeing his patient safely in her home in Paris Dr. Love hastened back to take up the duties of his profession in New York. Apparently the tour had done him good. He was the picture of health up to the moment he was strick- h en down. Well Known in His Profession.

The continued use of patent flour bread will produce injury sooner or later, because the true life-sustaining and life-giving elements of the wheat berry are eliminated in the manufac- ture of patent flour. ‘My unasked-for advice to all is to use daily a nutriment like Grape- Nuts that retains all the vitality of the grain.
