THE BEL. BARoNs UNDER MDIc1MENT.

Ta HE beef trust. now under criminal Indictment in Hudson
ii county. is a New Jersey corporation, amenable to the state
" laws, of which t is a creature. Its principal depot in New
Jersey is in Hudson county, where it stores vast quantities of beef
aud other provisions and has many loaded refrigerator cars STAND
ing on tHe tracks. From its coldstorage houses the trust products
are distributed by a system by which the trust has complete com
fmand of the market prices and is enabled TO practise the most
courageous lmpOsltions on consumers. The. Hudson county grand
jury, after careful investigation. has decided that the methods OF
tthe trust amount TO conspiracy. Moreover, it is found that the
trust keeps food stored for periods SO long that decay sets in. and
that food in this condition is sold to consumers. There is evidence
that halfdecayed meat is "doctored' TO deceive the consumer. If
The charges involved in the grand jury indictment are true, the
trust has Systematically perpetrated crimes in this State. 1t is a
moral crime to corner a nations food supplies and artifciaIy raise
the prices to almost prohibitiye figures. 1t is a statutory crime
to conspme for that purpose. The Hudson county grand jury yester-
day lifted itself into national celebrity. 1t will receive the paeans
of a whole people and their prayers that the punishment of the
law, now invoked. will be inflicted in full measure.

THE RED BANK MONUMENT TABLET AGAIN.

6Ta HERE is low an issue between the legal department of the
State and the pumpkin Board of Freeholders of Gloucester
4 county, and il will be interesting to see whether the States
legal department or the official pumpkins in Gloucester shall come
,out ahead. 1t concerns the national monument on the battlefield
of Red Bank, which the pumpkin board appropriated as local prop
erty and as a means of perpetuating some insignificant local names
for posterity. The Federal government donated the site, the State
appropriated the money for the monument and the Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution was authorized by the Legislature
10 place suitably inscribed tablets on the monument. When these
had been prepared it was found that the pumpkin board in
Gloucester had already adorned one side of the base with a large
tablet commemorative of the architect, the builder, the man who
did the mason work and the commissioners. There was not room
enough on the tablet for the feeholder pumpkins. Removed by
the patriotic society, the offensive tablet was restored by the free
holders. Assistant AttorneyGeneral Gaskill has notified the board
to remOye the tablet, and the pumpkin ire is raised. The board
won't. Well, the matter cannot rest there. What are you going
to do about ii, Mr.. Gaskill?

.TH-HoUsEs UNDER COMMISSION CONTROL

tTTa HE decision at the conference of city officials last night in
AZ favor of transferring control of the public lighthouses from
the Board of Works to the City Fairgrounds Commission
is logical and sensible. The Board of Works should be gratifed to
be relieved of a charge that is really outside of its province of duty,
that cannot lie administered properly by the board, and should be
under some special care. The Fairgrounds Commission is the ideal
custodian for the public bath-house. And there is plenty OF ei,
dence TO show that it needs good management. The whole system
of public bathing in Newark must, for the best sanitary reasons,
be changed. The pool must be abolished and the shower bath sub.
stituted. 1t is enough TO know that the pool is necessarily a means
of spreading infectious disease. The shower bath is just as in
MIGRATING, is clean and. offers ne, chance for disease germs. Expert
ence will show that the Fairgrounds Commission is we'll qualified
to make the public bathing system of Newark what it ought to be.
