VIII Go to Jail.

DR.. j. j. Ryecroft, mayor OF Petos-
key, has decided to serve Today
sentence In the county Jail.
About two years. ago the Lockwood
hospital was built, from fund of $10,-
000 which was bequeathed by a form
er summer resident of the city. The
officials in charge of the institution,
soon after taking Office, were accused
by several local members of the med
ical profession of unfair discrimina-
ton in choosing physicians to handle
cases
The arguments over the question be-
tween the doctors concerned were
heated. and 1t is said that during an
operation on a patient in the hospital
DR.. Ryecroft struck brother physi-
clan He was convicted in justice court
of assault and battery, and sentenced
to pay a fine of $50, or spend Is days
in the county Jail He appealed TO
the circuit court, and there the decis-
ion of the lower court was sustained.
Then he took the case to the supreme
court, and was again defeated, the de-
cision being handed down about two
weeks ago. During the interval the
complainant died
Now DR.. ReycrOft refuses TO pay the
$50 fine, and the prosecuting attorney
and the sheriff say that there is moth
ing for them to do but to confine him
in the Jail. The mayor admits that
this is the only course, and says that
on Sunday night he will deliver an
address in a local church, giving his
side of the story; then on Monday he
will go TO Jail.
While his practice will probably
suffer while he is in durance, the af-
fairs of the city will go on as usual.
The council has made arrangements
whereby Reycroft may attend the ses-
sions in charge OF an officer.

He did not wait to argue the situation
longer. but went TO the house, and
judging from his appearance he was just
bit frightened when he reached
home. After he had eaten his supper
he told Mr.. Cha pman of his discovery
and the two men returned TO the pasture
lot armed with a shot gun. They
approached the stump With some fear
and trembling and the two monster
snakes were holding a council of war,
one of them being still fastened to the
roots of the stump. With the aid of
the gun the snakes were soon dispatch ed
and when measured one was found to
be FIVE foot long and the other four feet
ten inches. They were pronounced by
good Judges of snakes to be high land
black snakes, which were plentiful in
this section years ago. We are aware
that this is pretty big snake story to
relate in local option county, but the
story is a true one nevertheless.

WAS The TIME
LIMIT OPERATIVE?
WERE IMPORTANT ACTS PASSED.
TOO LATE IN THE SESSION
TO BE VALID?
QUESTION MAY BE RAISED
A Difference Of Opinion May Be Aired
in the Courts and Result in over
throw Of Some Measures.

Ii is rumored that an attack Will be
made in the courts on one OF the la
Dor bills passed during the last ses-
sion of the legislature. This is be-
lieved TO be the general labor bill re-
pealing several previous bills and re-
enacting the labor laws and factory
laws of the state in what is claimed
to be a more consistent and workable
form than were the originals, which
conflicted in many ways. The basis OF
the expected attack will be the fact
that this bill was passed after the
session had drawn so close to adjourn
ment that the five-day rule for legisla-
ton established by the constitution
could not be observed.
If it comes to contest along this
line some of the most important acts
passed during the session will un-
doubtedly become involved. Among
them will be the home rule bill for
cities, the Warner-Cramton liquor BILL
the county home rule bill and the
highways bill.
The point involved is whether a
substitute or amended bill could be
passed after the time limit expired
All of these bills were changed in
NOhilHllNtt uullhS INC NlOSlHS udgo Va
the session and then passed. The
question whether they came within
he constitutional inhibition was raised
at the time. Speaker Campbell ruled
that they did not and could not be
acted on. Attorney General Bird was
Of the same opinion.
The section of the new constitutions
which bears on the question at issue
is No %, and reads thus:
"No bill shall be passed or become
law at any regular session of the
Legislature until it has been printed
and is in the possession of each house
for at least five days. No bill shall be
altered or amended on its passage
through either house SO as to change
its original purpose"
In the explanatory note accompany
ing this section in the copies of the
constitution which the convention or
new fundamental law was adopted, oc-
ours this statement:
"The provision that no bill shall be
altered on its passage so as to change
its original purpose is included so that
by no possibility can the publicity Sc
cured by the fve-day rule be nulli-
fed or evaded."
That the important bills alluded to
above were altered is not controvert-
ed in capitol circles. Whether they
were so altered as to change the
original purpose" is the question at
issue.

Plenty of Base Ball.

1t is not likely that there will be
any lack of base ball this season for
the people of Bridgeton, especially if
the down town base ball grounds are
developed and team is organized.
There will be base ball at the Park.
General Manager Hires says that base
ball has always been a Park attraction
and that there will be games played
there this season. There will be a
strong team, under capable manage
ment, and the best teams will be
brought here to play upon the Park
grounds. Some improvements will be
made to the field and the accommoda-
tions for the seating of the people.
Within few days there will be an.
pouncements made of the management
of the team, and some information
will be given out regarding the team
itself. AS soon as possible schedule
will be arranged with Millville.
In addition the strong Athletic team
will be playing the game, and there
will be base ball enough to keep all of
the fans busy.

NJ. E. CONFERENCE
FOR NEXT YEAR.

st. Paul Methodist Episcopal Church
Atlantic City, will entertain the New
JERSEY Conference in it's annual session
March 1910, and in anticipation Of that
event a collection last Sunday was
taken In most of the churches for their
apportlonment Of the entertainment
fund. This Is a decided departure from
the old custom. For seventy-three
years past ministerial delegates to
conference sessions have been enter
tanned at the homes of churchgoers.
A commission was appointed a year
ago to devise a scheme whereby to
avoid placing the heavy burden Of en-
tertainment on the shoulders of the
members of one church alone. In It's
report at the recent session of the con-
ference the commission recommended
the taxation Of every church in the
Conference an--amount equivalent to
2s per cent Of the appointment for the
presiding elder.
The visiting ministers will be cared
for at some hotel to be selected during
the coming year, and their board paid
for out OF the funds thus raised by the
churches throughout the State.
This is decidedly an innovation, but
it Is likely to prove a highly satis-
factory arrangement to housewives,
on whom fell the burden of preparing
the good things under which Metho-
dist tables groan on these occasions

THE JEWISH HERALD.

The lecturer who is an impartial OBJ
server and Investigator as all scientists
are, says that the present day colonial
system, especially oversee trade and
commerce, is practically an invention
of the Jews. They were, he says, the
first to introduce the three staples,
which have revolutionized modern
economy and industry indigo
and calico. 1t was the Jews who
brought these upon the markets of the
world. Prof Sombart also credits the
Jews with inventing and perfecting the
systems of private and state credit
without which modern commerce could
not have reached the stage it has at
tanned.
These words coming from Prof. Som

leading authorities on such subjects

over mean great deal to the Jewish
