FAULT IN ONE
MILK STATION
Rest of Places Which Sell to
Perth Amboy Dealers
Are Approved.
STATE BOARD REPORT
City Health Dept. Now Con-
trolls MiIkmen Here Pen
aIties Provided.

Secretary Brewster has received
reports from the State Board OF
Health regarding nine wholesale milk
places in North Jersey which supply
dealers in this city.
The local board Is now supplied
with the latest reports of all estab-
lishments that sell to dealers here.
They have inspected a number of
nearby places themselves and in 9TH
er cases, where the dealers live near
Pennington, Three Bridges and in
that vicinity, they have received re-
ports from the Dairy Department of
the state board. A glance at the
findings shows that the condition of
the places that produce milk for sale
here is generally fair, while there is
one place that is in bad shape, being
dirty and unsanitary.
To be in fair condition, the state
boards reports must average between
seventy and eighty per cent, which
they do in most of the cases here.
Sixty per cent. is conceded to indicate
the lowest condition of a place from
which milk should be permitted to be
sold.
The Board of Health has now COM
plete control over the supply of milk
in this city and should any of 1t be
received here in poor condition or in
an impure state, the wholesaler will
be notified. A second offense means
the revocation of the retailers license
or the stopping of the sales from the
wholesale place.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Dec. 9:-Emphasizing
the new criminology along many i'm
portant lines the New Jersey delega-
tion to the American prison congress
has submitted its report to Governor
Fort.
The congress was held In Rich
mond, Va, November 13 to 10. The
delegation was composed of State
Prison Keeper Osborne, Rev. Alloys
ius Fiss, the prison ~haplain, Rev.
Father A. A. Foy, of Nutley; Mrs
Emily e. Williamson, OF Elizabeth
and Decatur NJ. Sawyer and Edward
d. Duffield, Of the Board of Managers
of the Railway Reformatory.
There was placed before the con-
gress new proposition in criminol-
ogy. This came from DR.. Cook, OF
the Maryland penitentiary. He rec
commended that before a person be
tried for a serious offense his mental
and physical condition be examined
into by committee consisting of the
Jail physician, the prosecuting attor-
ney and an alienist. 1t was claimed
this would have value in determining
the physical and psychic causes OF
VI AAAlC anu lhO 0C5ANO VI AhChtol iC-
sponsibility. Such data would be of
great service to judges at the trials
and to those in charge Of the institu-
| tion.
While favoring the proposition, the
New Jersey delegation recommended
that the inquisition should take place
after the trial in order TO fix the guilt
| first and before sentence is passed.
The report admits that the adep.
tion of this feature into criminal pro
cedure would call for many modifica-
tions In our present legal system and
would lead to many developments in
reformatory treatment. The report
says a proposal so radical may al
present appear as ideal rather than
practical, but it must surely be reck-
oned with as representing the trend
of the new criminology.

Those Who Did Not Go To
Work Yesterday Discharged
From Company's Employ.
KEEP HALF FORCE ON

The eighty-one employees who
were discharged from their positions
as car repair men at the Lehigh Val
ley shops yesterday, after failing to
go to work, will be paid off this at
ternoon
An official, in speaking of the mat
ter today, said that he did not con-
slider the discharge of the men the
result of the strike. He stated that
the car-repairing force was reduced
by half because of lack of work. He
said that there are still eighty men
at work in that department and will
be kept at work to do some repair
ing. Other work, he stated, will be
sent to the company's shops at Pack
erton, Pa, where over 500 men are
employed in that line. He further
stated that the car shops will reopen
full force again as soon as more
work comes in. A slump in coal
shipping has been the cause of very
little car-repairing being needed.
The eighty-one men will be paid
of about 8 o'clock at the New
Brunswick avenue railroad station OF
the Lehigh Valley company.
