SHUTTING OUT TELEPHONE COMPETITORS.

lf1l always the study of a concern like the telephone monopoly.
Union \. Bethel. president of the New York Telephone
Company. in replying to a question in the New York telephone
investigation whether his company had not used means TO keep
competition out of New York city, answered, guardedly. that 1t

makes it wellnigh impossible for a competing telephone company
TO start business in New Jersey. The Bethel company has gotten
all the franchise rights it wants, and would repeat in this State,
in a different way. the trick it has successfully played in New York
and elsewhere.

TN RESIDENT TAFT takes too much for granted when he says,
liz as he did at Washington recently, that I'VE have assimi-
lated the militia of this country with the regular army"
The President further said that the militia and regulars "are alike
in uniform and alike in discipline" 1t is true that Congress passed
a new militia law intended to nationalize the militia and conform
it to the standards of the regular army, but how far have these
objects been accomplished? We may look to the New Jersey Ma
tional Guard for an answer. The highest court of the State has
Just declared that commanding officers, no matter how aged, are
irTemovable except by courtmartial under specific charges. En-.
listed men elect their line officers, a practise utterly at variance
with military uses, always harmful in military discipline, and
entirely different from regular army methods. The accepted quail.
dcaions of militia officers in all the States might not qualify a
corporal in the regular army They are far below the tests for a
regular army officer. You can't "assimilate' the militia and the
regular army by 4 statute. President Taft il toe fayorabIy i'm

THE MORAN BILL IN THE SENATE.

~ My the first stage of legislation has been safely passed by
w the McCran bill forbdding the diversion of subsurface
waters out of the State. The bill, after the decisive action
of the committee in its report on the bill, went through the Assembly
yesterday without opposition. The reason for this was PLAIN even to
the wayfarers eve. The East Jersey Water Company representa-
tives decided to make their fight in the Senate, which has a much
smaller membership. with, therefore. fewer legislative minds and
consciences to work upon. How much quiet missionary effort has
been put forth deponent sayeth not. but with so much at stake the
water company will kill the bill if it is possible to do so. 1t is never
scrupulous about the means employed. There re various ways by
which a bill can be killed, as everybody familiar with legislative
doings knows. II was made evident Yesterday that the agents of
the water company will no longer look to the Incorporation of their
amendment in the McCran bill. The purpose now is to assassinate
the bill. either in committee or in the Senate, or between the two
houses.

Four million cold-storage eggs

OTHER INDICTMENTS PROBABLE.

eTo HE indictments by the Hudson grand jury ire for conspiracy
The grand jury has, however, been investigating conditions
in the cold storage houses and taking the testimony of health
officers and others as to the sanitary features of the case. The find
ing in the cold storage houses of putnd poultry suggests the condi
ton of much of the poultry put on the market after having been
kept in cold storage for long periods. Much evidence of this char
acter has been obtained. 1t is probable, therefore, that other indct
ments will be found, and it is certain that the grand jury will
come into court with a presentment that will make very interesting
reading.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
If there is a law compelling all We
hicles to carry lights at night why
isn't it enforced? While driving along
we'll lighted streets the absence OF
lights on vehicles is moi such a menace
to traffic, but in the outskirts of the
city, where street lights are few and
far between, there is real danger when
the law is so generally ignored. The
drivers of automobiles are not per-
mitted to go very far without lights
before being rounded up by some Off
Ger, but in the case of horse-drawn We
hicles there is not the same strict en-
forcement Of the law.

Congress might, if it was so disposed,
railroad through that bill introduced by
Representative Henry, of Texas,
which is intended to bring the Western
meat barons before the bar of criminal
in Hudson county. 1t provides
thai a duly attested order of arrest
ba sed upon an indictment shall not be
any court of the State in which the in
dicted person is to be apprehended, and
no court shall have power to release
such persons. This would dispose of
the claim by the indicted beef barons
that they had not been in New Jersey

from Jersey justice.

Whatever flaws nave been picked in
the testimony given are trivial, and
only such as would naturally occur IN
statements covering a period of years
and transactions full Of details. But the
testimony of the witnesses doyetails
remarkably, and also it dovetails with
the documentary evidence produced.
The whole. as far as the evidence has
gone, constitutes an Indictment of Sec

have to present the cleverest and most
convincing proofs to clear himself of

 Grand Councillor Geary in his report spoke with great appreciation of the kindness and attention shown by the Springfield board of trade in its invi- tations to this city and the subse- quent cooperation of the people of the He said that throughout the jurisdic- tion o fthe supreme council of the United States there had never been the attention paid by board of trade or a city which has been done in the case of Springfield. The board of trade began fifteen or sixteen months ago to write to councils inviting them to choose Springfield for the next convention. The secretary of the board then went to Providence and clinched matters. The business men of the city have given liberal support and the board of trade committee has worked hard with the local council to make the conven- ton the success which it promises 10 be.
 The report of Grand Treasurer Will son was read and showed the order in good financial condition.
