LOurt Action and Prison SEN
tences Are Threatened, in Ord
or to Stamp Out Practice.

Prosecutor George Berdine held a
conference with Recorder PickersgilI
and Chief Burke in this city, last
night, relative to the carrying OF
concealed weapons.
Every effort will be made to stamp
out the practice throughout the
county and special methods will ba
adopted to catch Offenders. In the
past the usual punishment for any
one arrested on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons was fine Of $2b,
but, In the future, such defendants
will be held for the grand jury
Prosecutor Berdine asked Recor-
der Pickersgill to send all cases to
New Brunswick instead of imposing
heavy fine, as Judge Booraem has
given his assurance that he would
sentence every guilty one to state
prison.
At the present time in this city
many of the foreign population
either carry knives, blackjacks or re-
volvers or other weapons and Chief
Burke said this morning that he
would do all in his power to break
up the practice and have the Offend
ers punished
The announcement that all Offend
ers in the future will be sentenced
to term In prison will undoubtedly
ave muchto do with breaking up the
ractice, as 1t is not likely that many
will risk carrying a revolver or knife
when they learn that they may have
to serve year or SO ii caught
A $25 fine was not SO bad, and

Special by United Press wire:

Special BY United Press Wirs:
London, Sept. 15:-The alarming
spread of cholera in Russia has given
rise to the grayest fears that the
whole European continent will be
ravaged with this disease.
Today Germany, France, italy and
Austria, England and other coun-
tries are planning the most rigid
precautionary measures.
Owing to the unsanitary condi-
tions in Russia 1t seems to be impos-
sible to check the spread of the
disease. The Austrian health officials
say that 1000 cases are reported in
st. Petersburg alone.

John s. Hanson Says Health
Boards Code is Unfair.

John Hanson, a plumber, of Sc
New Brunswick avenue, has retained
Lawyers Beekman & Spencer to fight
the case brought against him by the
Board of Health and to test the law.
Hanson was recently served with
process documents, to appear before
Recorder Pickersgill and answer a
charge, brought by the health author
tiles, that he had violated the health
code. He had neglected to file plans
of certain work. He has admitted

That the boards code cannot hold
good, is his opinion, because it pro-
vides for what he considers exor-
bitant fines.

Spcotdt by UHfted Press Wire:
Philadelphia, Sept. 15:-William
Jennings Bryan today accused Taft
of deliberate misrepresentation and
evasion. He also declared the record
of the secretary in the Philippines, so
far as the Bengal railway system and
perpetual franchise with perpetual

was capable of much explanation.
Bryan read Taft's reply of yester-

Taft is lodging instead of defining
his position on public questions. By
inquiring about my record Taft can
not escape the issues. He will not be
permitted to run away from them.
He has accepted the nomination OF
the party, now let him take the peo-
pie into his confidence. If he prefers
to delve into the past let him look to
his own record"

Leadera Hold confnrenoo.

A long conference Of the Republican
leaders Of New York state was held in
the United States hotel. For hours
the question of the denomination Of the
governor was debated, and then the
conference broke up without any an
nounced result Elihu Root, chairman
Of the convention, came out smiling
and silent. William L. Ward, national
committeeman from New York, said
in tone that indicated chagrin, We've
done nothing but chew the rag"
During the conference the following
statement was sent out by Chairman
Timothy L. Woodruff:
"This is a conference for the seri-
Gus consideration of the present situa-
tion. Everybody knows there is con-
siderable sentiment both for and
against the denomination of Governor
Hughes, and we are considering what
action should be taken that VIII prove
for the best interests Of the Repub-
lican party. We are taking into con-
sideratlon each and every factor which
has entered into the case. These fac
tors include the position of the in
structed delegates and the known atti.
tude OF President Roosevelt"
Those present In the meeting includ-
ed Chairman Woodruff, Secretary OF
State Root Ex-Governor Odell, Nation
al Committeeman Ward, Speaker
Wadsworth, Senators White and
Raines, State Committeeman Barnes,
Hendricks, Aldrldge, Fassett, Parsons,
O'Brien and Mott, Congressman NAL
by, Secretary Gleason and Treasurer
George Smith of the state committee,
Postmaster Griener of Buffalo, ex-
Congressman Littauer of Montgomery
and William Berri of Kings.
Hughes Strength Develops.
Definite reports from the county del
egations, some of which caucused, de-
yeloped decidly more strength for the
denomination of the governor than any
of the polls had shown before. Fig
ures obtained from an anti-Hughes
leader gave Hughes but twenty dele
gates In Kings county. The caucus Of
that delegation showed thirty-six votes
for him against William Berri, the
'favorite SON. of Kings, and it was
stated on what appeared to be good
authority that on the ballot in the con-
yention there would be at least fifty
Kings county votes for the governors
denomination.
1t is reported that, while the renomi
nation Of Governor Hughes may be ef
fected on the first ballot a bitter fight
will come on the other places on the
ticket and on the platform.
There were indications that there
would be a struggle over the platform
as bitter as that which seems to have
come to its crisis over the gubernato-
rial nomination or even more so.

the shape of permitting issues against
commercial paper as well as against
bonds. 1t was a mere hodge podge.
And as for the bill of Chairman Fow-

made to approach the currency in

be hopeless to try to educate either

charge of serving the big money in

need whatever of an emergency cur
