Two important announcements that
have Just been made. One is that the
Marions, for the first time in eight
years, will fail to place team in the
field this season, and the other, that
this city's representative team will be
conducted by the Perth Amboy Base-
ball Club. This latter organization
came into existence last fall and is
controlled by number of local men,
most of whom have not fig ured previ.
ously in baseball affairs.
They have secured grounds and will
be ready to open the season the first
Sunday in May, it being the clubs

Sundays. Applications have been re-

to secure the very best talent available
and to provide only the strongest of
visiting attractions.
"Dick" Calvin, who is interested
in the team, is one of the players on
the reserved list. The dissolution of

BILL TO BE
AM { N DEp|
IN
Lobby TOO Powerful for tht
AntitOxin Measure
Goes Back.

Trenton, March 24:-Dr. Frank O..
Henry's House bill requiring the State
Board of Health to provide for the
preparation of diphtheria Lantitoxin
for free distribution to the Inhabitants
of the State met with tribulations in
the Senate. The bill came up on
second reading and was advocated by
Mr.. jackson, who said that it was
measure designated to give material
aid in the fight against frightfuI
disease.
Messrs. Bradley, Hudspeth and
Horner attacked the measure. Mr..
Hudspeth said that the object of the
bill was good, but it ran too much to
naternalism. Mr.. Horner suggested
that the bill be amended so as to
provide for the distribution to be
limited to the INDECENT as certified to
by the attending physician.
An offer has been made by the
present manufacturers Of antitoxin,
Mr.. Bradley said, to furnish antitoxin
to the poor of the State for So, 300.
which would he much more econom
ical than the establishment of State
laboratory Mr.. jackson finally
consented to let the bill go back 10

with fiies In a second-foor back room in
one house in the southwfstern section Of
the city were found baby. a small child
and two women. At .the-ttme this room
was visited 1t was tightly closed. intensely
hot, and when the door was opened in an

from the room was nauseqttngH The baby
was i'll with acute entero-cOlttis. Is It any
wonder? Many similar places were found.
Several so-called baby farms were dis
covered. These farms were little more
than novels, located in congested sections
of the CITY, and the surroundings anything
but conducive to health. They were oper-
ated by women, who agreed to take full
charge of infants for stipulated sum Of
money, payable weekly. AT only one of
these places was it alleged that the pro-
prietress devoted her time exclusively to
the care of infants placed in her keeping.
One house visited was FOUND to be filled
with flies and steam and foul odors arts-
ing from several washtubs standing about
the room. The chief occupation Of the
proprietress Of this farm was washing
The suffering and neglect that the little
ones placed in her care must undergo can
better be magined than described. pro-
prietress Of one Of these places claimed,
with much pride and self-sat 1;faction, that
she had 'wet-nursed' two babies at the
same time one colored and the other white.
Reviewing the data obtained from these
investigations, it is not unreasonable to
presume that the cause Of illness, in the
large majority of cases, was due, prima-
rily to bottle feeding. Other contributing
causes were, undoubtedly. improper food
supply, insanitary surroundings and neg
lect on the part Of those charged with the
care of the infants.

Sues for $4,000 Damages.

John H. Robinson, through Attorneys
Niles & Whit today filed suit at law
against the Capital Traction Company to
recover $4,000. The plaintiff alleges that
June last he was violently assaulted by
an agent of the company and thrown from
a car. Mr.. Robinson says that he offered
the defendant company's conductor a Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon rail-
way ticket, which under the law making
all tickets interchangeable with all the
companies in the District of Columbia was
a good fare, but the conductor refused it.
Instead of allowing the plaintiff to ride, 1t
is charged, the conductor threw him upon
the pavement and injured him permanently.
