takes second place today about the
State House to speculation as to the
effect former Governor Franklin
Murphy's scathing broadside Of crit
icism of Governor Fort win have on
the legislators and politicians who
will throng the corridors OF the capi-
tol.
Mr.. Murphy's statement is receiv-
Ing weighty consideration for the
reason that besides being a former
governor and prospective candidate
for the United States senate to sue
ceed John Kean, he is chairman Of
the republican state committee. a
pest he accepted in the beginning of
the last gubernatorial campaign at
the request OF the now governor
whom he 80 bitterly attacks. Besides
ldenouncing the political policy Of
Governor Fort, Mr.. Murphy adyo-
Gates the immediate repeal Of the di-
rect primary law by the legislature
and stamps disapproyal on the idea
that United States senators should
be elected by the people He also
declares his faith In the idea that
every Office holder, including the
judges of the highest courts. who
owes HIS position to the fact that he
Is party man, should contribute an
nually to the support Of the party. In
conclusion he doubts the advisable
ity Of the civil service law which was
fathered by Senator Ackerman, of
Union county, and the administra-
tlon OF which for the first year there
were II, 1,060 public Offices in the state
put In the classified service, and TINS
removed from the field OF political
patronage.
Governor Fort was not at the
State House today, but in tele-
phone conversation with the NEWS
correspondent from his home In East
Orange he said that he had read Mr..
Murphy's statement, but he did not
wish to comment on Il, at least not at
this time.
So far as the direct primary laws
are concerned, the governor declared
a short time ago that he was opposed
to the repeal or serious modification
of them. On account OF the govern
or's stand, which would mean that
he would veto legislation such as
suggested by Mr. Murphy, there are
few here today who believe there will
be any formidable attempt to wipe
the direct primary laws off the stat
ute books. One man who is very

SPAN OF LIFE $50
YEARS, SAYS EXPERT

NEW YORK, October 30.-The nor
nal span of human life is $50 years,
according to a remarkable study by
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, which has
just been published by the national
conservation commission at Washing
ton.
Professor Fisher shows that the
length of a man s existence is steadily
growing, both in this country and Eu-
rope, with the progress of science, san
itation and social betterment, and de
elares that the span of $50 years will
not long be impossible of attainment.
The Investigations of Professor
Metchkinoff are quoted by Professor
Fisher to show that the average normal
span should be $50 years.
Mammals, he pointed out, generally
live five times their growing period
Man s growing period is thirty years,
and according to that, he should live
for 80 years. The present average
duration of life is stated as thirty
eight years. The case of Drakenberg,
a Norwegian, who died at the age of
146 vears, is cited in the report, and
is completely authenticated.

In America interesting romances
have been connected with pearls. For
instance, the famed Queen Mary -
pearl was found by a Mississippi clam
digger who named the gem for his wife
and then sold it TO H. Deakin, a Chi
cage collector Tor SIT 500. Later the
pearl sold for $50 600.
In New York, Frank Fisher, an oys-
ter opener employed in a well known
Sixth avenue cafe, carefully watched
for pearls during seventeen years of
such labor. At the end of that time he
presented his wife with a chain of
forty-fve perfectly matched pearls,
which jewellers declared compare in
quality and matching with many chains
belonging to leaders of society. The
gift was to celebrate the twentieth
anniversary Of the pair S marriage, and
was one of the prettiest romances New
York ever had.
But a few months ago, in New York,
Archibald s. White, the millionaire,
was engaged in a deal which involved
many millions Of dollars. just for
luck. as he jokingly remarked, he made
his wife a partner in the deal, agree
ing to buy her a pearl necklace In the
event of successful consummation. The
deal went through, and Mrs. White was
the richer by a beautiful chain of
forty-seven pearls, for which her hus-
band paid 100000
Lawsuits have sprung from disputes
over pearls. The United States govern
ment lost its case when it tried to force
Bernard Citroen, Partisan jeweler, to
pay 60 per cent duty, or $4,000, on
pearl necklace made for Mrs. Viii
liam B. Leeds, wife of the former presi-
dent of the Rock Island road. Mrs
Leeds had ordered the necklace in
Paris, and the price stipulated was
$40 900. Citroen claimed that the
pearls were shipped to Mrs. Leeds as
individual pearls, dutiable at 10 per
cent. The custom department held
them as a necklace, on which the duty
would be so per cent of their appraised
value and the war over the famed
necklace was waged for months and
created a great sensation.

TUBERCULOSIS BEING WIPED
OUT.
One Institution or Organization Being
Established Evsry Day.


During the year that has passed
since the International Congress on
tuberculosis met at Washington, one
institution or organization for the
treatment or prevention Of tubercu-
lOsis has been established every day.
Sundays and holidays included, &C
cording to a bulletin of the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis Fifteen new
beds in hospitals or sauatoria have
been provided also for every day Of
the year.
A year ago the rate Of increase was
one organization or institution every
other day, only one-half as fast as
now. Less than year ago there
were 40 consumptiVes for every hos
pital bed provided. To-day the num-
Der has been reduced to 80. Nearly
10000 beds are now provided in in
stitutions for the treatment Of con
sumption, an increase Of over $500
The number Of special tuberculosis
'dispensaries In the United States has
more than doubled the number Of
anti-tuberculosis associations has In
creased IS per cent, and the number
Of hospitals and sanatoria 4s per cent.
In one branch Of anti-tuberculosis
work, particularly emphasized by the
International Congress, a signal ad.
vance has been made, that is, in the
provision Of hospital accommodations
for advanced cases. In all parts Of
the country, state and municipal au.
thorities have been urged to provide
hospitals for dangerous cases Of
tuberculosis, with the result that over
1000 beds have been established in
the past year. At the present time
there are, however, only 5000 beds,
and $4,000 advanced cases which
ought to be in hospitals. Fully $4,000
others could be treated at home, but
It would be safer for the community
to segregate them In institutions.
Every advanced case Of tuberculosis
is center from which the disease
spreads. and unless the patient is
taught how to be careful in his
habits, and unless he has the proper
home surroundings. he should be in
a hospital, where he VIII not be
menace to others.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
declares that at least 10000 more beds
In hospitals are needed for advanced
cases Of consumption. Until these
are provided, tuberculosis cannot be
wiped ont. II everybody in the
United States gave IS to provide hos
pitals for the dangerous consump
lives, sufncient funds would be pro.

Of tuberculosis from this country.
