TO STOP RATE CUTTING
PLAN APPROVED BY WHOLESALE
DRUGGISTS ASSOCIATION.
Retailers Serial Number Scheme for
Selling Proprietary Goods May
BE Given q Trial.

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. AT to-day's ses-
sion of the National Wholesale Druggists
Association Thomas v. Wooden, of Chicago,
secretary of the National Association of Re-
tail Druggists presented the views of retail
druggists OF the country to the jobbers. The
condition of the retail drug trade. he said.
was unsatisfactory. There were 10000 and
more retail druggists in the United States.
Thousands Of them were prosperous, but all
realized that at any moment they were
likely to be reduced to the precarious liv
ing which is the lot of other thousands
through the operations of the rate cutters.
The address and its recommendations were
referred to the committee on proprietary
medicines.
John n. Carrie, OF Minneapolis, presented
the report of the committee on proprietary
articles. The report emphasized that the
rebate plan had worked well, while the Sc
rial plan, urged by the retailers, had not
been tried sufficient length of time to
demonstrate its efficiency or its legality.
These officers were elected: President, G.
F. Shoemaker, of Philadelphia; secretary,
]. e. Toms, Indianapolis; treasurer, 5. E.
Strong, Cleveland.
The afternoon session was devoted to a
discussion of the general subject of price
cutting drugs, which had been brought
up in the report of the committee on pro-
prietary articles at the morning session,
and which told how satisfactorily the re-
bate plan had worked in all parts of the
country. At the conclusion of the discus
sion the matter was recommitted to the
committee for presentation to the conven-
ton tomorrow in more acceptable form.
1t was learned that after adjournment,
and as the result of a long conference, the
wholesalers had agreed to a resolution APP
proving the serial number plan for selling
proprietary goods I'm a form satisfactory
to the members of the National Retail
Druggists Association.

SOUTH AMERICAN RAILROADS.
What Is Being Done, and the Present
Prospect.
Mexican Herald.

Mexican Herald.
All the countries south of the Bravo
are interesting themselves in the matter
of railway extension, each according to its
means and capabilities, but they are doing
this more matte of internal economy
than with regard to a three-Americas rail
route
This, however. seems to US the best ana
most practical solution of the question. If
peace and stability can be established in
the South American republics, they will be
enabled as a consequence TO devote them
selves to the development Of their resources
and their transportation systems, and, in
any way, railways will be built wherever
traffic prospects warrant them. Thus in
time the rail-journey from New York to
Buenos Ayres Will become a reality In GER

Legal Phase of the Question Will BE
Investigated by Lynn b. Hay and

Chairman Edwin D. Logsdon, of the Re
publican city committee, and James l..
Reach. of the Democratic committee, held
a conference at o'clock yesterday after
noon to determine the question of the use
the city election next month. They agreed
that each should select five precincts in
which the machines would be given a trial.
Neither has made his selections, however,
and will net until the legal phase of the
question is carefully investigated. For this
work Chairman Logsdon named Attorney
Lynn B. Hay, while Chairman Reach Sc
lected John r. Wilson.
Chairman Reach believes that the ma
chimes can be tried in certain precincts I'M
der the law passed by the recent Legisla-
ture merely by the agreement OF the chair
men of the committees, but Chairman Logs
don thinks that it will be necessary for the
City Council to pass an ordinance making
such provision. This question will be taken
up by Attorneys Hay and Wilson at once,
and the chairmen will name their precincts
as soon as the report from the attorneys is
received.
Section % of the acts adopted by the Leg
islature of 1901, which section was not
amended by the act of 1903, makes the fol-

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Coal Operators Pleased
with Umpire wright's Decision.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. Goal oper-
pators of the Wyoming region look upon the
decision of Umpire Wright, giving them the
right to discharge employees, as very i'm
portant one. The officials of the United
Mine Workers claim that the privilege Civ
en- employers IL apt to be abused by mine
foremen who, acting upon instructions from
headquarters. can make ii very unpleasant
for the men who were active in the last
strike.
The superintendent of one OF the large
coal companies says the decision is far
reaching, and will either bring permanent
peace in the anthracite region or open war
upon the part of the union miners. He points
OUT that 20 per cent of the petty strikes
that have taken place since the strike COM
mission made its award were caused by the
discharge Of some employe for cause. In or
der to have him reinstated all the employees
of the mine would go out.

The magistrate said: II sympathiZe with
you and think the publican's refusal very
foolish and unkind act, but 1 cannot alter

which was that. while a publican was bound
10 supply any one with food refresh
ments as a traveller, there was nothing in
the law TO compel any one to sell anything
TO anybody. The negro thanked the magis-
trate for this precise information and with

BEATEN TILL BLOOD CAME.


Carl Harmon, 2727 Isabel street, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Patrolmen
Green and Mullen and locked up at the po-
lice station on a charge of brutality beating
his wife. Yesterday Harmon went to his
home in an intoxicated condition, it is said.
and with a leather strap beat his wife un-
til the blood oozed from her back. When
seen by the police she was so weak from
her experience that she was unable to
stand up, and 1t was necessary to summon
a doctor, as she tainted several times and
became hysterical She said that her hus-
band had often beaten her, but never be-
fore had he treated her with such brutality
Yesterday he tore her clothes from her
back before classifying her. and the brutal
beating he gave her was prompted only
by his spirit of viciousness, II is said.

New York Advocate.

We fully concur with those who say that
the decision of the Board of Education of
this city, by vote of twenty-seven to six,
rejecting the proposal to place portraits of
lie schools of this city, is thoroughly sensi-
BILE. There is very little in common between
those three men, except that they were
assassinated. Lincoln was assassinated be-
cause of his maintaing the union: Mckinley
simply because he was President of the
United States. Each man in his own pub
lie history is entitled to high place, but
to make group of the three and place
them before the children would be Ito sug-
gest that they will be chiefly remembered
by the acts of Booth. Guteau and Czol-
gosz," thus bringing to bear on the minds
of children influences which it is by no
means desirable to strengthen.
