PEACE TREATY
a. SIGNED TODAY

legitimate reason, or emergency,
which requires a child of school age
to be put to employment, the OBJ
stacles will receive cognizance at the
hands of the superintendent, and ex-
cuses are granted where eXigencies
exist. One of the great sources of
annoyance to the school authorities
in the past has been in cases of
children whose father or mother is
dead, or whose parents have separat-
ed. The state must step in in such
cases and be the guardian as to edu-
cation. l do not anticipate trouble;
am. simply giving warning that the
law will be enforced, not by me, but
through me by the school authorities.
The parents, guardians or employers
will be held responsible"
The law provides that violation of
the compulsory school law is follow
ed by a fine not exceeding S25. Com
plants are made either before a JUS
tice of the peace or judge of the
superior court.

LEADING CITY STREETS

of investigating the plans of the
Northern Pacific Railway company In

were submitted to the chamber of

While the committee, composed of
w. S. McCrea, c.. NJ Fassett, John

clusion in regard to the plans, still
they are inclined to the belief that
the proposition of the company is the
only solution to the problem.
The committee has looked carefully
into the plans and states that, in it's
opinion, the estimate of the railroad

PRIVATE CAR EVIL is
UNDER INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The in
terstate commerce commission has
today begun the hearing in regard to
the charges brought against a number
of railroad companies and private
concerns owning private rolling stock
for the transportation of their prod
ucts. 1t is charged that thef act to
regulate interstate commerce is be-
ing violated in several particulars by
the defendants. The proceedings are
directed against the Armour Car line,
the American Refrigerator Trans
portation company, the Santa Fe Re
frigcrator Dispatch and the follow
ing railroads: st. Louis & San Fran
cisco; Atchison, Topeka x Santa Fe;
St Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern; Central of Georgia; Southern At
lantic Coast line; Seaboard Air line,
Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and

bates or other devices the refriger-
ator lines are acting for the railroads

poured into the dissecting room OF
the grand jury today.
The grand jury late this afternoon
brought up before Judge Poindexter
the result of it's long grinding and
soaking. True bills. or indictments,
were returned as follows:
Gus Johnson, Main avenue saloon
keeper, for killing Frank Robinson on
August 81. Johnson was fooling with
a gun when it went off and killed q
bystander. This indictment is les

DO NOT WANT
TO IMPROVE
SIXTH AVENUE

w. NJ. Ridpath and l.. Dollar of 307
Sixth avenue this morning filed a
petition with the city clerk requesting
the city council TO repeal the ordi-
nance enacted some time ago proVid-
ing for the regarding. curbing and
sidewalking of Sixth avenue between
Washington and Bernard streets.
The petitioners claim that when the
petition was presented there We're nc
street cars running along the thor
oughfare. Now, however, it is claim
ed by reason of the fact that the
tracks of the railway company are
laid along the avenue ii would de-
spoil the adjoining property We're the
improvements provided for in the
ordinance to be carried out. 1t is
pointed out that by reason of g
switch constructed between Washing

at suspected vicious young woman

thing about the chatty manner in
which the girls conducted themselves
that suggested that purity may have
vanished. The elderly women may
probably have been discussing that
question. The girls may have been
of that fibre in conduct as not to
recommend themselves to the elders.
At any rate, the manner in which the
younger ones manipulated their skirts
suggested a contract between them
and the representatives of their sex
on the other bench. SO also was the
contrast maintained by the elders.
But neither side of the division line
was without curiosity regarding the

ton of the railroad. Said MeCrea:
Il have no objection to those plans
providing the railroad does not expect
the city to pay the cost of regrad-
ing the crossings. Their plans, as
drawn up at present, do not cover
this phase of the situation. I think
it would be a benefit to the city lie
that plan was carried out at no cost
to the municipality. In regard to the
other plans proposed for the regrade
Of Division street, l am decided.
Those plans are complicated and
would result in a demand by the rail-
road that certain streets between
Washington and Monroe be closed.
This 1 never would favor. I am not
sure, either, that Browne street
ought to be closed"
All of the committee have express
ed their objections to any plan which
would result in the closing of any OF
our principal thoroughfares.

roads, acting through the refrigerator
lines, are collecting and receiving for
the refrigeration of fruit and vege-
tables lower rates from some shippers
than they are contemporaneously re-
ceiving for similar services rendered
to other shippers. This is held to be
in violation of sections 2 and 3 of the
act to regulate interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure and
neglect to publish at shipping sta
tons and file with the Interstate COM
merce commissions the rates and
charges imposed for the refrigeration
of fruits and vegetables constitutes a
violation of section of the interstate
commerce act.
The present proceedings are con-
sidered as a test and 1t is said they
will prove of great value in informing
congress that new laws are needed
for national control of private car
lines where combinations are made
with railroads, which AFFECT the
freight and refrigerator schedules.
