FOREIGN TRADE OF SPAIN.

Improvement General Since Appre-
citation of Her Currency.
In 1904 there was an increase of
SIS, 900, 900 in the volume of the
foreign trade of Spain over the aver
age of the five preceding years. That
year was also the first since the Span
ish-American war to show an excess
of exports over imports, and this fact
had such a material influence in in
creasing the value of the silver money
of the country in its relation to gold
that, ever since the beginning of
1906, there has been a steady falling
off in the percentage of depreciation
of Spanish currency.
On account, partially of the failure
of the Spanish wheat crop last year,
there was a large increase in the
importation of alimentary substances.
For the first time in the history of
Spanish commerce, large imports OF
wheat we're made from India and
Australia. American wheat was not
pushed in the market, in spite of the
fact that the customs duty on wheat
and -four was reduced to a minimum.
OF the raw cotton imported nearly
3O0,0 bales came from the United
States.

A SLAP FOR FACAN
BY PUBLIC SERVICE
Corporation Takes Cars Off Jersey
City Lines-Men Get Longer
Hours with increased Wages.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 4:-Follow-
ing closely upon Mayor Faganls de-
mand for better and more efficient
trolley car service in Jersey City, the
Public Service Corporation yesterday
cut down the number of cars on some
of it's lines from twelve an hour to
ten an hour, thus running them on
six minutes Roadway instead of FIVE,
as heretofore.
Mayor Pagan, on New Years day,
sent a long message to the street and
water board urging the passage of
an ordinance compelling the Public
Service Corporation to give a sea- to
every passenger paying fare and adj
vocating the building of a line in OPP
position to the Public Service Corpo-
ration.
Mayor Pagan stated that he was in
negotiation with capitalists in New
York for the building of a line which
might ultimately become the property
of the city.
The Public Service Corporation also
followed its increase of pay of one
cent per hour to motormen and con-
ductors by increasing the swing at
midday from one hour to four hours,
thus practically increasing the days
work three hours, The employees are
complaining that they have not been
benefited by the increase of pay.

Mr.. WALKER is
OUT OF BOARD
City Attorney Says Former Pres
ident Of School Board
Cannot Act.

There is no basis for the claim that
Ellsworth Walker, former president
of the Board of Education, can re-
main in the chair until the new board
elects a president, according to City
Attorney Hommann, who says that
since Mr.. Walkers term as a member
of the board expired January /, he
is out of the board and thus cannot
act as president, even should there
be a deadlock in the contest for the
presidency between Joseph L. Crow
ell and William P. Bradley. Mr..
Crowell was vice president last year.
The idea that Mr.. Walker could
serve until his uccesso as president
is elected arises, doubtless, from the
opinion given by the attorney gener-
al, when the board had a deadlock a
few years ago, that the president
could serve until his successor was
named. But the president, in that
case, was still a member of the board,
whereas Mr.. Walker has been NC
ceeded as the first ward representa-
tive by Mr.. Bradley.
The teachers and other warrants
would be held up were a president
not elected.

OBJECT 70 SEWERING
INTO The RARlTAN
New Brunswick Appeals to State
Board of Health to Prevent
Project.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. THAT
any attempt on the part of the towns
of North Plainfield and Dunellen to
build a trunk W to tide water,
will be strenuously opposed by the
citizens of New Brunswick, is evil
dent from the fact that that city has
already appealed to the state board
of health to prohibit the construction
OF the proposed eve system.
The route proposed, 1t was said,
would be across country from a point
near Dunellen, emptying into the
Raritan river, about four miles from
New Brunswick.
If the state board of health pro-
hibits the outlet of sewage at the
Raritan river and the state sewage
commission will not permit the sewer
to empty into the waters of Staten
Island sound, off the docks of the
Port Reading railroad, the towns of
North Plainfield and Dunellen will
have to devise some such means of
sewage disposal as is in use here at
the present time.
The state board of health and the
state sewage commission decided
some time ago against thendumping
of sewage into any q stream from
which fish are taken. Experiments
have shown that in the past a great
deal of typhoid fever which prevailed
in certain cities of the state was due
in a measure to the use of oysters
and fish taken from waters into
which sewage had been dumped. In
view of these objections 1t is not like
ly that a trunk sewer will be built
from the borough across the country
to the Raritan river, or along the
Port Reading railroad. to Staten ISL
and sound as had been suggested.
The sewage commission appointed by
Mayor Smalley, some time ago, made
no report on the subject, andnany in
formation which the citizens of the
borough have received in regard to
the disposal of sewage has been
learned from outside sources. ,..

LIMITING Of
TROLLEY FRANCHISES.
HOrticuIturists Declare Il Has the
Effect Of DiscOuraging Capital
from Extending Lines.


TRENTON, Jan. 4:-Horace Rob-
erts, of Moorestown, president of the
New Jersey State Horticultural So
ciety, which is meeting here in thirty
second annual session, made an ad-
dress yesterday afternoon in con-
demnation of the limited franchise
act passed by last winters legislature
at the instance of the political reform
element of the state. He said:
THE section of the law which limits
trolley franchises to twenty years
was a bad one, in that it had the
effect of discouraging. capital from
extending trolley lines into undevel-
oped territory. This worked to the
detriment of rural communities, par
ticularly to the growers of vegetables
and the raisers of fruit who would
benefit by the trolley in being able
to reach their markets quicker and at
less cost.
Legislation should be enacted au-
thorizing the general carrying of
freight and express matter by trolley
companies. A law was passed last
winter to enable trolley companies to
carry freight If they first secured the
consent of municipalities through
which their lines pass. This law is
considered too cumbersome to be of
general benefit to rural commune
ties"
Another important matter to come
before the society will be a resolution
memorializing the national govern
ment to take steps to oppose the i'm
position by the German government
of a new tariff on apples, raising the
import from fifty cents to $1.65 per
barrel.
The horticulturists of New Jersey
claim that the proposed increase in
the German traiff will cripple to a
considerable extent the Jersey apple
industry because, at the present time,
large quantities of apples are sold in
the New York market for export to
Germany.
The horticulturists will also re-
quest the State Board of Agriculture
at its approaching meeting to join
them in this action. Reports sub
mitted show the association to be in
a fiourishing condition.
The session will end this afternoon.

TRENTON, Jan. 4;-The menace
of the increase in insanitA in New
Jersey and the evils attending contin-
ual charges in the laws of this state
relating to lunacy form two OF the
important topics which are treated at
considerable length in the annual re-
port of the managers and officers of
the State Hospital for the Insane at
Morris Plains. The report has Just
been presented to Governor Stokes.
The matters referred to are in that
portion of the document written by
DR.. Britton d. Evans, medical direct
or. The question of legislation is I'M
portant to every county in the state
because DR.. Evans shows that the
multiplicity of laws imposes upon the
various counties additional financial
burdens that might be avoided If
there was a change in the law maxi
ing methods.
DR.. Evans says in part: Year
after year there is a disposition to
legislate upon the commitment, care,
treatment, maintenance and dis
charge from custody of insane per-
sones. . y - This results in o IN

Authorities Unable to Check Spread
of Typhoid.

SCRANTON, Pa. Jan. with a to-
tai number of cases of almost 1000 and
the deaths increasing every hour the
typhoid epidemic which has been rag
ing in this city for the last twenty days
is beginning to take on a serious as
pect.
Nine deaths were reported during the
past t%wenty-four hours. making a to-
tai of eighteen since midnight Monday.
TWenty-nine new cases Were reported
in the same time. The total number of
cases, according to official figures, is
92S, but it is admitted that all the cases
lInve not been reported.
The conditions on the south side are
the worst that can be imagined. Doz'
ems of the tenement jewellers are lying
i'll and destitute in the most squalid
surroundings. Instances have been
found of whole families Frustrated by
the plague in two or three small rooms.
A mother and her two little daugh-
tiers were found in IN advanced stage
of the fever in one bed. They were
all dellrious and without care or med
icine.
The four hospitals of the city are all
packed to overlooking, and the greater
part of the new cases have to be
treated in their homes. Miss Annie
O'Hollaran' of Philadelphia has entire
charge of this work and is laboring
twenty hours out of tw~enty-four to get
it in some kind of shape. She was the
head nurse during the Nanticoke and
