YELLOW JOURNAL FAKE
Story of Order to Stop Kissing in r
r.. Station Base1ess.

THE News has investigated the story
which appeared in last nights New York
Journal headed Stop Kissing in Sta
tons, purporting to hings on an order
issued by Superintendent Abercrombie OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad, to the effect
that trainmen must stop al persons from
exchanging kisses upon the arrival and
departure of trains.
The story is an unmitigated fake from
beginning to end. The order assumed to
be quoted by Mr.. Abercrombie is simply
forgery, and the alleged description of
incidents which appear are the pure in
ventions of fakir.

JUDGE WANTED
Rumors of Coming Changes
in Hudson County
Circuit Court.
COLLINS WORKED TO DEATH
And All the Other Judges
Pretty Busy Only Remedy
Another Big Salary


There's an interesting little rumor now
being circulated among lawyers touching
changes in the judicial system Of this
county. In word new Circuit Court
Judge is needed, but how to procure one
under the existing law is puzzling the
gentlemen of the long robe who are CIV
ing some attention to It,
One Of these in sconversing about it with
News representative, said:-
Justice Collins is simply worked to
death by lawyers taking before him cases
which properly belong to the Circuit
Court"
What is the matter with the present
Circuit Court Judges calendar?'
That's just it, Judge Nevius has all
he can attend to and because of the press.
ing needs of the causes-I mean lawyers
naturally want their cases disposed of
as quickly as possible not only for their
clients sake but their own and not wish
ing to wait for the Circuit Court rush be-
fore Justice Collins and the natural con-
sequence is a block on his calendar
What would be the remedy?''
Another Judge was the reply.
On this hangs the story that a move
ment is on foot to induce Governor Muir
ply to transfer Judge Nevius tok some
district where there is a pressure of cas- IS
on the Supreme Court Justice and relieve
Justice Collins by appointing another Cir
cult Court Judge for Hudson. This post,
it is said. would be well nlled by Judse
Blair, the present presiding judge of the
Common Pleas, leaving his position to be
flied For this place on the Common
Pleas bench political lawyers point to
ex-Judge w. T. Hoffman. 1t is not like
ly that anything win be done until the fall
but according to people who ought 10
know changes are bound to come.

Police Court Fines a Physician So for
Such Practice.
The man who loses his temper during
the warm weather and who swears spe-
cifcally, generally aimlessly or even arts
tically through the telephone may rue his
impotence. Telephone profanity Is bad
form, is crime, will cause a telephone
company if it hears it or hears of it to
take legal measures Of furnishing the Of
Tender and may mean money out Of the
pocket to the man who INDUCES in it.
From st. Louis comes news Of q police
court decision 6ning a physician So for
swearing while unburdening his mind to
the telephone operator on the subject Of
telephone service in that city. The de-
PENDANT, DR.. S. L. Gettys, was arrested
and in police court candidly admitted
that he had ''cussed" roundly about the
telephone service, but not at the opera
tor. He maintained that he had not dis
turbed the operators peace.
Judge Sidener, who heard the case do
clded three points: First, that there was
not sufficient proVocation to profanity.
second, that it Is invariably aggressive
and never protective and that heretofore
IT mas never been excusable on the nlno
OF self-defense; third, that the WORKING
principles Of law have not been invo1i'
oated by modern inventions and that the

the telephone Is amenable to the laws

THE GREAT COAL STRIKE.
Exodus of Anthracite Miners May
Solve the Difficulty.

Solve the DlHlCuACyo
Unless the anthracite strike is soon
settled there is probability that the en-
tire region will be deserted by it's adult
miners When the strike was still young
one of the district leaders said that If
necessary, in order to win, the strikers
officials would take every miner out Of
the region, finding work for them else
where, and not leaving enough mine
workers to operate a single colliery. 1t
seems that the threat was no idle boast.
Already $4,000 adult miners have left
the region and have found profitable
work elsewhere. And now it is claimed
upon what appears to be excellent au-
thority that $4,000 more miners can be
given work in the soft coal regions of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Should these $4,000 leave the hard
coal districts the strike situation would
be greatly simplified. When the strike
was inaugurated there were only 105, 900
adult miners, 4he remaining $1,000 affect
ed by the cessation of labor being COM
posed Of boys, old men, bosses and I'M
classified workers about the mines. Thus
1t can be seen at a glance that the plac
ing of $4,000 additional strikers at work
in soft coal districts will force the oper-
ators either to grant the concessions de-
manded, or abandon their mines, in which
Is invested the vast sum Of $511, 500, 900.
With the adult miners removed from
the anthracite region it will be impos-
sible for the operators to work their
mines, even though they could import
100000 men. The State law provides
that no man shall be allowed to mine
coal unless he has a certificate and to
get a certificate it is necessary to have
two years experience in the mines and
pass an examination.
The obtaining Of work outside the an
thracite fields for the strikers also great
~ simpliies the distribution Of relief
funds. At the national convention in
Indianapolis measures for such a fund
were taken. The bituminous miners by
q system of assessment will pay approx
mately $250,000 a week into this fund
and the moneys received from other
branches of organized labor will swell
the total to 100000 a week or about
100000 a month. This, coupled with
the fact that so many miners are earning
good wages elsewhere and that work can
be obtained by $4,000 more Of them, will
be sufficient to keep from want the fami-
lies Of the strikers and the few who may
remain unemployed.
If the robbing Of the anthracite field
Of its adult miners goes on, the opera
tors will be forced to come to terms and
to admit after all that there is something
to arbitrate
