SUSPEND STATE LAW
TOPERM|T AUTO RACE

TRENTON, July 6:-The house of
assembly gave it's sanction last night
to the holding of the Vanderbilt cup
race in New Jersey by passing the
bill prepared by the Automobile Asso-
citation of America and the Associated
Automobile Clubs of New Jersey. The
measure in effect permits the temper
airy suspension of the Frelinghuysen
automobile law by local and county
authorities and the vacating of pub
lie highways between September l
and January l under such restrictions
as may be deemed proper by the au-
thorities and which so far as possible
will conform with the suggestions OF
the automobilists.
Provision is also made by which it
will not be necessary for automobile
lists attending the race to secure a
New Jersey license, as the licenses of
other states will be honored for the
occasion. The bill passed the house
by theb are majority of one vote
There was no actual opposition tc
the measure. but it was not brought
up until so late in the evening thai

a quorum was secured with difficulty.
Assemblyman Perkins, who had the
bill in charge, sent two automobiles
to the Pennsylvania railroad station
and succeeded in corralling eight as
semblymen who had started for their
homes. With their assistance thirty
one of the sixty votes in the house
were secured.
The same bill was introduced yes
terday in the senate, but as the house
measure was passed it is the inten-
tion to drop the senate bill and seek
to SECURE the concurrence of the sem
ate in the house bill. The senate.
while nominally adjourning until
next Monday, has virtually postponed
it's sessions until called together by
the president. Four of the twenty
one members are absent and two are
opposed to having the race held in
this state, so that there promises to
be some difficulty in securing the nec-
essary eleven votes, some of the mem-
bers refusing to pledge themselves on
the measure A close canvass, how
ever, indicates that bare majority
will be secured.

Three Who Entered New
Brunswick Ave. Place.
ANOTHER Hello IN ELIZABETH.

William Critchley, one of the three
men suspected of having robbed the
jewelry store of Isaac Berkow on
New Brunswick avenue during the
night of June 2S, was brought to this
city yesterday afternoon by Detective
j. A. Huff.
This morning Critchley was ar
raigned before Recorder Pickersgill

admitted being one of a party of
three men who broke into Berkow's
store and stole the jewelry. He also
says that this is not the first time he
has been arrested for such an af-
Tense.
Critchley was held in default of
1000 bail and was taken to New

THE ASBURY PARK IS
CHAMPION OF FLEET.

The flagship of the Sandy Hook
line, the twin screw steamship Asbury
Park, holds the record as the fastest
of the fleet of three sister ships, hav-
ing beaten the Monmouth, of the
same line, a half mile into port on the
night of July 4 in a race that began
at Robbins Reef, in the lower bay,
and ended at Atlantic Highlands.
Previous to the race the Monmouth
never had been beaten in a steaming
contest by any commercial vessel.
One hundred and twenty passen-
gers on the Asbury Park cheered Cap
tain Martin Larsen and Chief Engi-
neer William Richman as the winner
raced to her pier at Atlantic High
lands. The Monmouth, which had
reversed the usual order of her trips
for the holiday, carried no passen-
gers. 1t was ten minutes past s
o'clock in the evening when the AS
bury Park steamed from pier 10, at
the foot of Rector street, and Captain
Larsen, glancing up the river, saw the
Monmouth moving down the river
from the 42nd street pier. Captain
John Cameron was in command Of the

Sachs CraW|ed to
Barn to Die
After Deed.

After being intoxicated for three
days, Ernest Sachs, hostler in the
employ of Carl A. Mussigbrodt, who
keeps a saloon at 45 Hall avenue,
ended his life yesterday afternoon by
drinking a mixture containing Paris
green.
He was seen in an alley back of the
house with glass in his hand about
2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
woman who saw him thought he was
carrying some green paint and took
no further notice of him.
When alone he drank the contents
of the glass and walked to the barn
in the rear of the yard, where he was
found dead this morning.
Coroner Bishop visited the place
early this morning and found pieces
of the glass in the alley. He took
the pieces to Gardens drug store
where the green substance on the
glass was found to be Paris green.
Sachs was fifty-seven years of age
and had been in Mr.. Mussigbrodt'
employ for about five years.
Coroner Bishop gave Undertakers
Flynn & Mullen permission to re-
move the body to their establishment

Loafing down the bay Captain Lar

UTILITY BILL
|S1NTR0DUCED'
IN ASSEMBLY
Democrats Take a Hand at Re-
form Legislation Effort to
Railroad the Measure.
OBJECT TO CHOOSING SENATORS

TRENTON, July 6:-The house
of assembly reconvened yesterday af-
ter two weeks recess and made a
fairly successful effort to outdo the
senate in the passage of reform legis-
lation. The result is that in two days
the combined houses have passed
nearly as many important bills as
they did during thirteen weeks of the
regular session.
A striking difference between the
session of the house yesterday and
that of the senate. two weeks ago is
that the senators Indignantly denied
on the floor that in rushing through
reform legislation they were playing
politics, while the house members
yesterday not only admitted the fact
but seemed proud of it.
An example of this was given when
Assemblyman Wright, of Essex, in
troduced modified duplicate of the
New York public utilities bill and, un-
der suspended rules had the meas
ure advanced to third reading with
in few minutes. The minority lead
ers protested SO vigorously against
being compelled to vote on an i'm
portant bill that they had not even
seen that final consideration of the
measure was at last laid over until
Monday.

David Splitter, was present to speak
on the matter, but the board refused
the application for a renewal by a

WORK REVOLUTION
IN PARIS SOCIETY
Influence of American Colony Is Changing the Entire
Social System.

The American colony in Paris is
given the credit by close observers OF
French life of gradually changing the
entire social system.
The infusion of the modern notions
that govern American women of re-
finement and wealth has had the Ell
feet Of sweeping away many Of the
antiquated ideas that once closed the
society of Paris to any but the eNclu-
sive who lived in the Faubour5 ST.
German, and there maintained the
worship of the ancient aristOcracy.
American women first stormed this
citadel, and gained admission. Now
they have opened the way for others
who are deserving, and as result the
American colony Yields remarkable
influence in the worlds chief pleasure
city.
Formerly the restrictions placed on
young French people were so great
that they had no liberty whatever.
The damoiselle could not go to the
theater till her parents had first seen
the play and decided that it was fit
for her. Similarly she could go no
where without a chaperon, and in the
matter of her marriage she was never
consulted till her parents had picked
man of proper means and family.
Then she was allowed to have some
say in arranging her trousseau. That
was about all.
But when Miss Columbia, with her
breezy Western ways, took possession
of Paris, she slowly changed all this.
At first the French were frankly
shocked by the liberties permitted
her, but gradually they discovered
that the girl from the young republic
could be trusted, she might do things

A PECULIAR ALLIANCE.
That Made by the Doctors and the
w. c. T. u.

For the purpose Of fighting patent"
medicines the doctors, as represent
/ ed by the American Medical Associa-
ton, have made an alliance with the
! w. G. T. U. who have been deceived
into believing that the alcohol in pat
ent' medicines is a menace. In this
alliance the good ladies Of the w. @.
T. U. are apparently put in the posi-
ton of dragging chestnuts out of the
! fire for their allies. There is no class
so firmly convinced of the necessity
| for alcohol in medication as the doc
tors who, with few exceptions, not
only prescribe it freely but use it, as
indeed they must whether they would
prefer to or not, as a solvent and pre-
sentative. On the other hand the
| w. c.. T. U. contends that the whole
medical and pharmaceutical world is
in error; that alcohol is not only USE
less but that it is dangerous and
harmful in any quantity in any medi-
cinal preparation. While their princi-
pies are so wholly at variance the
doctors and the w. G. T. u. ladies
have cheerfully allied themselves in a
war on patent medicines, and the
w. G. T. U. is placed in an even more
ridiculous position by reason of the
| fact that the doctors do not contine
their fight to those medicines which
contain alcohol, but lump all patent
medicines in one class. And this, too,
| hot tO
ures printed in the Journal OF the
tAmerican Medical Association, about
| 70 per cent of physicians prescrip-
lions are for patent" or proprietary"
medicines.
The inability of many physicians
to prescribe any but ready-to-use rem
edies is frequently commented upon
by the medical press, and by physl-
clans of the better class when assem-
bled in conventions. That three
fourths of the physicians graduated
each year in the United States are in
competent and peril to the com
munities in which they practice was
! charged openly at the annual meeting
of the Committee on Medical Educa-
ton of the American Medical Asso-
citation, held in Chicago in April or
this wear. The total number OF grad
yates annually was placed at 4,OOO
which means that at least 5000 IN
competents are turned loose annually.
It was stated at this meeting that an
average of So per cent Of the gradu-
ates from medical colleges failed to
mass state examinations. These fall
ures either go back to school, or go
TO some state where the requirements
are not so high.
That many doctors are so ignorant
in matters pertaining to pharmacy
that they know nothing about the
properties of the drugs they prescribe,
was stated by DR.. M. Clayton Thrush,
q professor in the Medico-Chirurgical
| College at Philadelphia in an address
before the Annual Convention OF the
American Medical Association at At
lantic City in June of this year.
DR.. Henry Beats, Jr., President Oh
the Board of Medical Examination
for the State of Pennsylvania, in an
interview in the daily papers said:
"About one quarter of the papers
show a degree of illiteracy that rend-
ers the candidates for licensure in
capable of understanding medicine"
He criticizes the colleges for award
| ing degrees in these cases.
