MANHATTAN BRIDGE IS
TO BE OPENED TONIGHT.
OPENING SAID TO BE PREMA.
TURE AND ONLY A POLITICAL
MOVE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Among tn,
Christmas Eve festivities in the me
tropolis tonight, the most notable will
be the opening to vehicle traffic o.
the great Manhattan bridge across
the East river. In some quarters
I the ceremonies are denounced as pre-
mature, and it is alleged that the
span is opened at this time only to
/ permit certain officials of the McCIel-
Ian administration to get their names
on the brass plates. 1t is alleged that
the rOadways are only makeshifts and
unfit for real use.
When completed, the Manhattan
Bridge will have cost the taxpayers
$25, 600, 900, distributed as follows:
Cost Of construction, $l4,OO0,OOO; land
cost for approaches, $4,000, 600; ter
minal buildings at Canal street and
the BOwery, and on Flatbush avenue
extension, Brooklyn, 81 100000.
The roadway viii remain open per
manently after today. 1t will prob
ably be some months before the two
promenades will be ready. As to the
furnishing the bridge with a trolley
and elevated surface, that is as much
mystery as it has been for the past
year 1t almost approaches the pro-
portions of a scandal for which the
Board of Estimate and the Puplic Ser
vice Commission are to blame.
There is every reas OH to believe
that Almost another year aiG ei,ase
before people obtain transportation
facilities over the bridge Il is true
that the Board OF Estimate is now
hurTying TO pass out The franchises
which were applied for by the Brook
Ign and Manhattan Street Railway
companies TO operate their cars over
the bridge. When these franchises
are finally granted il viii take some
time 10 make the proper connections
both on the Brooklyn and Manhattan
sides.

New Postal Rules Now in Force.

Registered letters must now bear
IL cents postage, the increase of
the registry fee from s cents 10 10
cents bringing the total postage up
to twelve cents. With the Increase
the government officials announce
that the maximum indemnity to be
paid the owner of a lost or rifled
letter has been raised from S25 to
$50.
Other changes in the postal sys.
tenn that are proposed include the
establishment of package registra-
ton system with FIVE cent fee,
and of a special class for registered
matter of high value, with an in
crease i'll the indemnity of 500
and an increase in the fee to 20
cents, the limits fixed by law.
1t is pointed out that the pack
age regulation will meet a public
demand for a cheap and safe means
of transmitting Christmas packages
and others of like character, and
that graduating the fee in accord
ance with the risk involved and the
amount of care necessary to insure
safe transmission is in accord with
sound business principles.

Sell Less Wheat Abroad.

The calendar year 1909 will show
a smaller export. tion of wheat than
any year in the last decade, and an
increased home consumption, both
in amount and per capita average,
says a report of the Bureau of Sta
tistics OH wheat production, expor-
tation and consumption of the
United States.
The continued decline in exports
of brcadstuffs lends interest to the
statement. The expectation of
wheat for the nine months ending
with September amounted to only
27,76S,9o bushels, against 6S, 49, =
935 bushels in the same month of
1908; flour exports were 6,2SS. .283
barrels against 9.42S. 347. This
reduction in exports of wheat seems
to be due to increased consumption
at home rather than to any decline
in production. The average annual
production for the last five years
has exceeded any earlier fve-year
period.

PHONE On P. & r.
Catawlssa Division Being Equipped
With Instruments as Auxiliaries
to Telegraph.

The Reading Railway company
is introducing the telephone service
at all passing sidines on the Cata-
wissa division between East Maha-
noy Junction and West Milton.
The number of miles of tracI to
be covered is 81 and there will be
is telephone stations, located at
East Mahanoy Junction, Lofty,
Girard, Brandonville, Krebs, Ring
town, Ferndale, Beaver Valley,
McAuley, Mainville, Catawissa,
Rupert, Grovania, Danville, Maus-
dale, Mooresburg, Dougal and West
Milton. 1t is not tn. purpose to
do away with the telegraph in the
running of trains but to use the tel
ephones as an accessory. 1t will
enable the t:ainman who is not a
telegraph operator and who may be
miles away from a telegraph Office
to get into instant communication
with the train dispatchers and in
many instances, save valuable time
1t will enable train crews to
know just where the train they are
lying out for is and often times
will enable 1t to get right of way
which it could not get for hours if
it had to get word by a telegraph
Office first.
This system is now in operation
throughout the yards and on the
basin branch where telephone boxes
have been installed and the train
crews, by using them, save much
time in getting a right of way and
making the necessary movements.

NO REFLECTION, AND NONE IN
TENDED.

The HcbHbAtw attributes to this
paper all article concerning Judge
Evans DOING some detective work
OH his own hook" III Danvile. The
same article appeare! in a number
OF our exchanges before we pub
lished it. There was no reflection
on the Judge Intended, and nothing
in the article to indicate any such
intention.
Judge Evans stated in open court
that he knew there were violations
of the liquor law in Danville, and
that he himself had seen them. His
statement publicly to that effect
was most commendable, and will,
no doubt, have beneficial effect up
on the constables of Montour who
have been reporting that there were
no violations of the liquor laws.
What they have failed to see,
though it is their duty to look
Judge Evans saw without trying.
Some of the Columbia county
constables had better sit up and
take notice.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Supreme Justices Rule That Personal
Habits of Members of a Brewing
Company Are No Bar to
Granting of License if
They Have Respect
ed Law.

A decision Of state wide import
ance, affecting the present manner
of handing down liquor licenses in
Pennsylvania, and breaking away
from all precedents, was made by
the Supreme Court at Pittsburg
last Friday i'll the case of the Indi-
ana Brewing company, of Indiana,
Pa. Tine quarter sessions court of
Indiana county had refused the
brewing concern a license ard the
Superior Court affirmed the decis-
ion. When the case came before
the Supreme Court, however, both
courts were reversed by majority
OF one vote. Unusually strong opin
ions were writ ell by the justices.
The opinion of the majority,
written by Justice Elkin, cf Irdi-
ana, declares that the license was
refused on the sole ground that the
brewing concern was an unfit cor
poration. 1t is announced that the
personal habits of the members Of
the corporation should not be taken
into account. but that the corporate
acts OF a co poration must be ex-
amlned to learn whether they have
violated the laws of the state.
The opinion of the majority is
concurred i'll by Chief Justice Nit.
chell and Justices Fell and Brown.
The dissenting opinion, written by
Justice A. Leslie Mestrezat, is sup
ported by Justices Potter and Stew
art. A terse sentence in the dis
senting opinion is as fellows:
ut practically annuls the act of
assembly and denies the right to
grant licenses by the court OF quar-
ter sessions, the only tribunal in
vested by the laws of the common
wealth with that power"
The decision is far. reaching, and
has an important bearing upon the
power of license courts under the
Brooks law.
The court did not meet until late
i'll the afternoon. A number of de
cisious, most of them Allegheny
county cases, were handed down,
after which the court rose 10 meet

TO ELIMINATE BRYANISM.

Norman Z. MacH, of New York
may be invited to the conference
for the purpose of outlining the
national policy as promulgated by
the Saratoga conference of New
York Democrats. While Bryanism
will be eliminated as a result of the
reorganization all efforts will be
made to make it plain that the ma.
tiona! movement is not directed
against Bryan, so that no offense is
offered to the Bryan followers.
Preparations for the Gubernatorial
contest here next year and Tor pre-
senting a strong and united party
i'll the next presidential year will be
made at the conference.
Such conferences, it is said, will
be held in other states during the
next six months.
with the establishment of
the Democratic party in the state,
candidates for Governor are being
discussed. Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer, Senator Dewalt and c. La
Rue Munson are mentioned as fit
ting leaders in the Guberna,orial
battle. Friends of Mr.. Munson say
that he made himself powerful
factor through his great vote and
rejuvenation of the party organiza-
ton.

MUNSON FOR GOVERNOR.
Wil.iamspOrter's Great Vote Brings
Him Out Strongly for Further
HOnOrS

That prominent Democrats will
meet soon to consider the future of
the party in the nation and state,
and that Attorney c. La Rue Mum
son, of Williamsport, is spoken of
as a prospective candidate for gov
ernor i'll this state are the state
nents made in an article published
in the Philadelphia Ledser. II fol-
lows:
Conferences of Democrats, in
spired by the revival of the party
in the great Munson vote, will be
held shortly to consider the future
of the Democratic party in this
state and nation. The idea of hold
ing such meeting of men who be-
lieve in the principles of Jackson
was suggested by similar discus
sion held by Democrats in New
York some time ago.
&C, La Rue Munson, as the
standard bearer III the recent cleo
'tion who united all factions and
brought back to the fold voters who
had joined the Republican party,
will take leading part in the con-
ferences. EX-Mayor Vance McCor-
mick, of Harrisburg, who aided
Munson' canvass in an active and
financial way, and Jere S. Black, cf
York county, are among those who
will form the nucleus of move
lnent which has as its first purpose
the election of a Democratic Inde-
pendent Governor next year.
TO INFUsE YOUNGER BLOOD.
There are about $50, 900 natur-
al Democrats in the state, and more
ehan $50, 600 voted for Munson in
an off year.
THE conference. according to
chose who outlined the scheme be.
fore election, will first consider re-
organization of the party. No radi-
cal steps will be taken to condemn
leaders who have traded with the
Republican machine, and all fac
tions will be invited TO assist in the
reorganization plans. Colonel James
M. Guffey, Democratic National
Committeeman, is in accord with
the plans, and his advice to the
committee, which saw him in Pitts
burg more than a month ago, was
to proceed without making the old
time leaders conspicuous. There
fore younger blood in the State
Democracy will be brought to the
front, and the old leaders, like Har-
rity, Cadwalader, Guffey, Donnelly
and Judge-elect Garman, of Wilkes
Barre, will be sought for practical
advice.
Vance Mccormick and Jere S.
Black have been suggested for chair
men of the conference, and party
men of all factions will receive in
vitations to the meeting, which will
probably be held late this month in
Harrisburg.

AFFECTS THE NATION.

The bulletin continues with a
statement that the general death
rate of country is largely depend
ent rpon its infant mortality, be-
cause the death rates of infants and
young children are high and they
affect relatively numerous ele-
ment OF the population. Exact
study of the incidence of disease
upon infancy and childhood is mcst
important, and it is imperatvely
necessary, and that there should be
more effective registration of births
throughout the United States for
this purpose. The extremely i'm
portant rate known as Infant NOR
tality" is the ratio of deaths of in
fants under one year Of age, not to
population but to the number of
children born alive during the year
This most important ratio should
be readily available for the compar.
ative study of deaths of infants in
all of our States and cities, but,
;he bulletin states, in the great ma
Jorlty of them, unfortunately the
registration of births is worthless,
and ratios calcu ated upon the re-
turns would be deceptive and un-
reliable.

RACE WASTE VS.. RACE SUICIDE,
Vital Statistician Says This Nation
Sacrifices 100000 Babies
Annually.

American race waste-more seri-
ous than race suicides pointed
out in Census Mortality Bulletin
No. Io4, i'll which it is estimated
that annually in the United States
zoo 900 babies under five years of
age die from preventable causes.
ibis great loss of life among the
little ones at the period when they
are most loving and most lovable
could be prevented, is the opinion
of DR. Cressy L. Wilbnr, chief sta
tistican for vital statistics of the
census bureau, who prepared the
bulletin on the basis of presentable
knowledge of sanitary measures,
For the accomplishment of effective
preventative work i'll this direction,
Dr.. Wilbur holds that the prompt
registration o. all births and the
more careful and precise statement
of causes of death by physicians are
essential
More than one-eighth of a million
babies, under one year of age and
fully 100, 900 children under FIVE
years of age, died among about
one-half of the total population of
the United States III the year men,
toned. 1t is considered probable
that fully 200, 900 more died in
those cities and States not included
in the census bureau registration
area. In this correction DR.. Will
bur quotes Professor Irving Fish
er's conclusion that of all the dis.
eases of infancy, having the medi-
um age one year, AZ per cent may
be prevented; and that of toe dis
eases of childhood having medium
age two to eight years, 81 per cent.
may be prevented.
1T does not seem unrea sonable, " !
DR.. Wilbur states, when we con
slider the fact that there is appar-
emily no reason why infants. if
properly born, and this means SIM

disease and the improvement, Of the
