J} The strike is attributed to the de- cision of the United States Shipping Board, to give preference to mem- 4, bers of unions in employment on its \ebips.

Following a trip to Potteville, Pa., by Assistant \ Corporation Couns¢l Stover and John Pendergast, forme ly a récord expert in the office of the County Registrar, New York City has Fecovered a priceless real estate decd book which had been missing for fif- teen years The much sought for volume, temporarily in the possession of Sheriff Wyatt of Pottsville pend- ing the carrying out of legal formali- ties, covers property transfers in the heart of the lower Manhattan finan- cial district, including land on the north side of Wall Street from about Broadway west to Pearl Street. This includes the Bankers’ Trust Company property, the Sub-Treasury and other valuable parcels, An old book dealer who had come into possession of the volume adver- tised it for sale for $5,000 and pointed out that it went back to the year 687, when the English took Manhat- fram the Dutch. All the deeds were inscribed during the reigns of James IT., Charles TI, and Willian and Mary. When the old Hall of Records in City Hall Park, which was used as a Debtors’ Prison during the Revolu- tion, was torn down about fifteen years, ago, all records of deeds and Mortgages were temporarily kept in the Morgan Building on Nassau Street. In those days books were not as carefully guarddd as to-day, and a clerk who got behind in his work often took a record home with him to labor at night. About fourteen of the most valu- able deed and mortgage books were missed one morning. Investigation cast suspicion on a clerk, but the evi- dence was not sufficient to warrant his arrest. Although systematic searches were made in old book shops everywhere in this country and Bu- rope, not the slightest trace of the missing volumes could be found. The loss of at least three of therm, of which there were no copies, was irre- parable. Registrar Donegan recently re- ceived information from private sources that J. E. Spannuth, an old book dealer of Pottsville, had issued a catalogue, in which he called at- tention to a special bargain. “From-the eellector’s standpoint of old New York City material,” the writer of the catalogue said: “It is one of the most priceless gems that can be obtained. The record book was among the old records which were abandoned by New York City some years ago when the city offices were moved into thé Hall of Records, at which time most all of the early record yooks and a vast lot of ather old papers relating to New York County were sold as waste paper to an Italian firm dealing in paper stock, which in turn had almost all of it consigned to the paper mills to be ground into pulp. By chance a book- worm drdpped into the warehouse of the papér stock firm in search of Americana, first editions, &c., luckily he came across the above volume, Had it not been for this chance discovery this book would have been paper pulp long ago, with taose that had already been con- sumed by the paper mill “before our good old friend the bookworm ap- peared on the scene.” Spannuth offered the $5,000, “That description of how the deed book came to be on the market is all bunk,” says Expert Pendergast. “The record was stolen. But I do not ¢@hink Spannuth knew that. The man who sold him the book evidently invented the yarn.” When Assistant Corporation Coun- sel Pottsville they posed as connoisseurs of ancient volum Spannuth kept the record in a safe deposit vault. When Mr. Pendergast saw the time- worn volume he recognized handwriting of the Scriveners, long since dead, Another record book, one of the three most valuable of the fourteen stolen volumes, was recovered from Spannuth some time ago, Jt 1s known as L.ber No, 1 of Mortgages, from 1687 to 1694, Spannuth sald he ob- tained this volume from the widow book for of “an old antiquarian in New York City,” and he wanted to sell it for $700, The city took the book, and it is understood that a financial settle. ment was made with the bookdeater, It is said that detectives now have a clue to the remainder of the miss- ng property, FINDS FATHER DEAD IN HALL, w.

Age of 89. Dr. Abraham Jacobi, known in his profession as thé Néstor of American Medicine, died at 11 o’clogk last, ight at his summer home at Bolton Land- ing, Lake Géorge, where he had been living since early in June, His will be brought to New York Sunday but funeral arrangements have not ‘deen completed. Dr. Jacobi was. § years ol. He was kpparentiy in his usual good health atid spirits until 4 o'clock yes- terday afternoon whep he complained of fatigue. A sudden fainting spell was followed by a state of semi-coma from which he could not be aroused. Dr. Francis Huber, who was once as- sociated with Dr, Jacobi in the prac- ties of medicine, attended him in his just iiness. ‘ The death of Dr. Jacobi will shock thousands of ‘New Yorkers who had come to look upon this vigorous, mentally keen jittle man as one des. | tined to round out @ century or more of life. He was @ resident of this city for sixty-six years. Born in Germany, Dr. Jacobi was educated in the best medical echools. He was of independent and progres- sive character and was a leader in the revolt of 1848, In 1861 he was een- tenced to prison by the Government and spent many months in solitary confinement. He came to New York in 1853 and began the practice of his profession. While Dr. Jacobi was a physician of wide learning and experience, he specialized in diseases of children and problems éf motherhood. In this Ine he was probably the foremost prac- titioner of the United States. For the pifst twenty years he had main- tained an office and residence at No. 19 East 47th Street. Dr, Jacob! was a member of the New York Academy of Medicine for fifty-six years and served twice as President of the organization. In 1911 he was elected President of the ‘American Medical Association, aod when he appeared on the stage as the presiding officer of the annual con vention in Atiantic City he wai cheered for five minutes. Physicians all over the United States recognized him as the leading authority on oma hygiene, Dr. Jacobi was one of the founders of the German Hospital and ac- tive in the management of ME Sinai Hospital, For years he was professor of children’s diseases in the Now York Medical College, the Medical Department of New York University and the College of Physicians and Surgeons and he served on tho staff of half a dozen hospitals. He was active in the New York City MUk Committee and in movements for the prevention of tuberculosis. The outstanding characteristic of Dr, Jacobi was his frankness, his broad common sense and his hatred ot hypocrisy. Ho was a bitter enemy of the “holier-than-thou” element and his caustic remarks about certain amateur reformers often entertained all New York. Dr. Jacobi's wife, who was a noted physician, died in 1890. He is sur- vived by his daughter, M orge McAneny, who, with hi five children and her husband, lived with him in East 47th Street and at Lake George.
