FAILED TO MAKE RETURNS.
In Consequence Some COnsuIs' Salar
 les Have Been DeepIY Cnf.


 Washington. May 22.-One of the un- expected results of the consular re- organization act now being placed In operation. is the discontinue of some consular officers who have been con cealing the actual amount of the un- official fees of their offices. The prac- tice was not dishonest in one sense, for the consuls are in many cases per mitted to retain all such fees.
 But for the sake of the records of the department and In order to enable the officials to. know the state of business of the consulates it was required that all such fees should be accounted for. But some consuls feared that to pub fish the amount of such fees they re- ceived would be to make their offices too attractive to office seekers, so they failed to make the full returns.
 Their punishment came when Con gress passed the reorganization act on the basis of substitution of lump salaries for the combined and fee sys- tenn of compensation.
 There was no intention of reducing the compensation of many of the con suls. but it has naturally followed, that the consuls who failed to return theiF full fees have suffered Q substantial re- duction.

New York. May 22.--A score of men employed in the engine and dynamo rooms of the New York Glucose Com pany's plant in Shady Side. N. J., on the west bank of the Hudson river, op- posite 90th street this city, were more or less injured today by the explosion of a big steam pipe.
 The roof of the building was blown of and the wreckage caught fire. Some of the thirty men who were al work in the building had narrow escapes from death but were taken out of the blaz-

 Tn the confusion which followed the explosion many reports of serious loss of life were spread among the reia- lives of the employees thus exaggerat- ing the extent of the disaster. The company's force and local firemen fought the flames which threatened to destroy several other buildings in the big Glucose plant.

ReVerting again to the Dill or ladlnS,
 think one of the best examples of
 the fallacy of this doctrine or purchase
 that I have heard is this: Suppose Jones of Alexander City should contract to sell Brown of Anniston the contents
 of a corn crib located at Alexander City, it being represented by Jones that he had 1000 bushels of first class corn, and that the crib was securely locked. and could be opened only by means of
 certain key. Suppose that Jones
 agrees to sell Brown the contents of this crib at 40 cents per bushel just as it stands, and it should be arranged | that Jones should draw on brown Tor s400 with the key of the crib attached to the draft He goes to the bank in Alexander City and makes the draft
 and attaches the key and receives the | sends the draft with the key attached
 to bank in Anniston and It Is paid and the key is surrendered Then Brown goes down to Alexander City and unlocks the Cfib with the Key that he received when he paid the draft, and finds that instead of there being 1,OoO
 there are only 500 bushels of badly dam aged corn. Would any judge holo that the Alexander City Bank was respon- sibie to Brown of Anniston for the
 resented by MT. Jones to Mir. Brown?
 so it is with the bill of lading. No court could hold that the key to the crib was the corn; 1t is simply the means of getting access to the corn. The bill of ladimg that the purchaser
 receives for the goods and It's shipping contract is simply the means of getting
 commodity that has been shipped, II is the key that UnloCks the door or the freight car.
 Most Important Question.
 ! do not know of any question now before the people of Alabama that con cerns their financial and commercial int-,asts more vitally than does thls matter of a banks liability on hills or and country merchant, the cotton mills end ihe laborer, are even more concern ed than the banks themselves, for IT this doctrine should finally he held to

The most interesting part of the
water board investigation is the testi-
mony of Commissioner Voorhees,,
who says that Fountain told the
board that If they paid him the $15,-
500 for this land there need be no
more trouble with Madison town
ship authorities. 1t looks as if the
water board was trying to buy intlu-
ence. At the same time it looks as if
the people of Madison township had
nothing to say about how that town
ship shall be run. 1t also proves that
all the trouble that the township has
been causing the city has been a pure
and simple hold up to get money out
of Perth Amboy taxpayers to fatten
their own pockets. In short, it shows
up the true character of this man
