The power in use for moving this vast
industrial aggregation consists of 6,620
motors of all kinds-steam engines, gas
engines, water wheels, water motors,
electric motors, etc, the whole developing
an aggregate of 342, ,142 horse power.
The high position which New Jersey
holds as a manufacturing State is large
" due to the exceptionally fine transpor-
ration facilities afforded by the great
trunk lines of railroad that traverse the
State east and west, north and south, all
cony on terminals situated upon the
shore line of New York Bay and Hudson
River
In the bureaus report, the chapter on
this subject is based on returns from the
trunk lines and all subsidiary branches.
Employed ON these roads are $4,000 men
whose duties are performed in whole or
in very large part within the territorial
limits of New Jersey. This vast army Of
workers has distributed among them
every year in wages sum approximate
ing $23, 900, 600, by far the largest part of
which is spent within the State for FAM
ily supplies.
In the number of workmen employed
and the amount paid in wages. the trans
portation industry is without rival.
There is no other single industry in the
State that employs so many men or that
pays a sum of money anywhere nearly
approaching the same amount in wages.
The aggregate number of miles of

New Jersey lis 1923. The average work
ing time per day is 10.4 hours; the aver.

cent. of the total died from their injur-
les. The average wages per day for all
classes of employees was $204 in 1904
and $206 in 1905.
The report presents. in series of ta-
bles, the retail prices for selectd bill of
table supplies for families of average
means. These prices were obtained
from representative dealers in all parts
of the State, and apply in every case to
the month Of june.
The inquiry has been made each year
from 1898 to 1906 both included. and the
results show a steady advance in prices
for each year. In 1898 the test bill Of
goods was found to cost $1S.11, and in
1905 the price OF the same articles. as re-
popted by the same dealers. had risen to
$21.15 The difference in cost for the
seven years was $304. or 1853 per cent,
which, divided over the seven years be-
tween 1898 and 1905, shows an average
annual increase in the cost of food sup
plies Of exactly "a per cent
The chapter devoted to the fruit and
vegetable canning industry shows that
there were 35 establishments engaged in
the business during the season of 1904.

New Advertisers

O'Brine X Healy address our readers with few earnest words in this issue of the SILVER BELT. They are black. smiths and horse-shoers, and repai cash registers, guns, locks and bicyles as well. They occupy a commodious new shop corner of Oak and Hill streets and are at the service of the public. This much for O'Brine x Healy's busi- ness. A word now for themselves They are practical workmen, and in. dustrious and deserving citizens. When your wagon or buggy breaks down, or your horse limps or interferes, give O'Brine X Healy call.
 It's perfectly excusable and excites no suspicion at all to go out between acts, since Anderson & Curnutt have started their Opera House confection- cry adjoining the big play house on the south. It is one of the neatest and cleanest ice cream and soda water booths in the city-cool and inviting. Delicious candies are also carried, as well as fragrant, thought provoking and concentrating cigars and tobaccos. You couldn't feel more at home in your own parlor. Courteous attendants anticipate your every whim and fancy and you only leave to call again. Read what Anderson & Curnutt say.
 Mrs. J. w. Arnold, courteous and experienced little dining room woman, informs the people through our col umns that she has opened the Cottage Restaurant, opposite the new postoffice block and next to the City Lodging house, Broad street. Her motto is white help and home cooking. The Cottage restaurants dining room is large and airy and it's kitchen neat and well regulated. Snowy-white cloths and napkins adorn the tables. The bill of fare lacks that tiresome same ness and is intersperssd every day with toothsome changes. Try the Cottage restaurant for awhile.

From Canada to the Gulf of Mexico
the United States has been storm
swept. From points in Illinois. Michi-
gan, Indiana and Wisconsin reports of
heavy blizzard showed that all four
States we're in the grip of the Storm
King. Chicago was visited by the heav-
lest snowstorm of the winter. and the
weather bureau reported unusual down
falls throughout the Ohio and Missouri
valleys and the northern and north
western States, with heavy rains in the
South. From various points IN Illinois
and the Northwest the heaviest March
snow in thirty years was reported.
Colorado has had the most serious
experience. AT least twenty lives have
been lost in snowslides Fourteen min
ers at Silverton were instantly over
whelmed while breaking in a trail from
their mine in order to escape starva-
ton. Their bodies have not been re-
covered. Lives have been lost at other
Colorado points, but definite figures are
not obtainable.

The town was in utter darkness, save
for the occasional glimmer of lamp
and a candle.
BY the aid of lanterns the dead and
injured were removed to such buildings
as had escaped destruction, the dead to
one place, the injured to another. Ply
sicians and volunteer assistants cared
for the hurt as best they could. After
demolshing the town, in which it is
said that there is not house left
standing, the tornado moved in a south
erly direction, and blew down every
thing in its path for over sixteen miles.
According to the reports, the storm
came from a northwesterly direction
and was noticed by the people of Brook
Ign some time before it struck that
town. Realizing that the town was in
it's path, many left their homes and
sought places of safety Shortly after
the first reports were received all wires
of every kind went down and it was
impossible to gain any details.

The GOODNESS and generalship of the
teachers in the Haverhill, Mass. Man
nal Training school and high school saved
the lives of many when fire endangered
more than 80 boys and girls. Several
pupils had their hair burned and one
girl injured her leg by jumping from
second-story window. Instructor Bourne,
intent upon the escape of the children
after they were all out. found his own
egress cut off and he was compelled 10
leap from a window on the second floor
of the training school. The training
school formerly was a factory and it was
a three-story wood building whose beams
and flooring were ready food for the fire.
Almost Immediately after they had been
discovered the flames had leaped through
the three stories and were bursting from
the windows. The two-story high schoo,
annex was connected with the training
school by a wooden passage. which was
almost the only avenue of exit for twelve
boys who were in the training depart
ment. Headed by Teacher Bourne, they
made a dash from the second floor of the
school house and, rushing through the
flaming and smoking passageway, evenfu-
ally reached the open air. In the high
school building the $50 boys and girls
were in four rooms. The fire seemed to
come upon that building from all direc-
tons at the same time, but the teachers
quickly formed the pupils into fire drill
lines and ordered the march out.

Leader Knows Vault Combination,

The Credit Mutual, one of the largest
banks in Moscow, was robbed by masked
men at dusk Tuesday night, the robbers
securing $432 800. The indications are
that the robbery was committed by or un-
der the direction of s. me one al present
or previously employed in the institu-
fion. The bank is situated In llinka
street, in the heart of the city. The last
o. the clerks had just departed, leaving
an inside guard of three men, while un-
der the porte cochere outside were pO-
liceman and the house porter. The street
was crowded with people hurrying home
ward. According to the story of the
guards in the twinkling Of an eye they
were confronted with revolvers in the
hands of twenty masked men who had
entered silently by the main door, which
had been locked when the office force left.
After the command to the guards to hold
up their hands not a word was spoken.
The guards were quickly bound and gag
ged and thrown into dark corner. The
robbers tAen took up positions at all the
entrances and the curtains of the win
dows were lowered. The chief of the
robbers, who directed the operations of
his associates by gestures and without
speaking showed thorough familiarity
with the location of the vaults When all
was ready he went to the heavy burglar
proof safe and, with a few whirls of the
knob. threw the combination of the lock,
the heavy doors swung open and the treas
ure of the bank was revealed. The plum
der, consisting of gold. silver and notes,
was speedily thrust into sacks. When a
clean haul of the money had been made,
not a kopeck being left, the robbers de-
parted rs silently as they came. making
their exit through the main entrance and
leaving no trace behind them. They had
been in the bank less than half an hour.
Twenty minutes later one of the guards
succeeded in freeing himself, and gave the

PACKERS SET FREE.
DISCHARGE GRANTED ON PLEA
OF IMMUNITY.
sixteen Defendants Escape Danger
of imprisonment for Alleged Com
spiracy--Dismissal of individuals

Sixteen packers as individuals won
the legal battle which they have waged
for the last three months in the United
States District Court at Chicago and
they were freed Wednesday from pros
ecution under the Indictment which
charges them with attempt to conspire
TO violate the antitrust and interstate
commerce laws.
They were sustained in their conten-
tons that they are entitled to immuni
ty from prosecution upon the subject
matter of the indictment because Com
missioner of Corporations Garfield and
his agents, backed by congressional
acts. had previously compelled them &c
furnish information upon the same sub
ject matter to the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
While the individual packers were
freed by the court and exempted from
prosecution the five corporations which
are also named as defendants In the
indictment must stand trial. The de
cision of the court was to the effect
that the special pleas urged to bar
prosecution under the indictment were
proper and legal as to the individuals
but that while the individuals were en-.
titled to immunity the corporations
could in no way claim that right The
trial of the five corporations will not
be taken up until after next Septem.

The individual packers are dis
charged from custody on the ground
that they have given the government

might tend to incriminate them, are

dence so given. The packers thus es-
cape the punishment by Imprisonment
for maximum of one year on each
of five counts under the indictments as
sought by the government They also
escape fines of maximum of $1,000 in
each count, or $4,000 for each defend
| ant. The packing companies are not
included in the decision granting i'm.
munity TO the individual defendants
The five packing companies must go to
trial on five counts, each punishable by
maximum fine of $1,000 on each
count, or a possible aggregate of $125,

In deciding that the individual de
| PENDANTS are entitled to immunity from
prosecution, in accordance with theil
| special pleas, the court in no way
passed upon their guilt or innocence as
to the accusations made in the indict
ment which will now be tested only il
so far as the corporations are concern
ed. The immunity plea, according Il
the packers, was urged because it il
based upon the right guaranteed by The
United States constitution that no per
son shall be compelled to give testi
mony against himself
