BIG GRIsT OF JERSEY LAWS
Mill Grinds Till a. N. 70 Fulfil Re
publican Pledges
[Br TsIesrarh b The TrIbune

Trenton. y. j.. April 1T was after 3
O'Clock this morning when the weary and
hungry lawmakers Of New Jersey finished
their work. but they went home with the
realization that they had placed more i'm
pOrtant legislation on the statute books
than any other Legislature for many years
back. Every pledge made by the Republi-
can party when Governor Fort was nomi-
mated has been carried out. and much that
was not promised, but which was made
necessary by new conditions which had
arisen.
Perhaps the most important piece Of
legislation was the creation Of a Public
Utilities Commission. Then there was the
child labor bill. which prohibits children
under sixteen years old from working In
workshops at night after July Of next
year. and the continuation Of the work OF
the reappraisers OF railroad and canal
property The McCran anti-water diversion
bill. fathered in the House by the Republi-
can Assemblyman from Passaic and in the
Senate by DR. Prince. a Republican, from
the same county. also went through.
other measures Of importance passed
were the Wakelee bill appropriating 100000
for the construction OF the Henry Hudson
Boulevard. the formal recognition by the
state OF the ocean Boulevard. running III
miles. from Atlantic Highlands to Cape
May and the Minard Passaic Valley sewer
age commission bill. which allows the state
to enter into an agreement with the federal
government 50 that the actual work can
now begin. The appointment Of a commits
sion to investigate thoroughly the employ
ers' liability problem was also authorized.
All Of the Governors appointments were
confirmed. with the exception of John
Rotterdam and Clarence Van Deeren,
whose names bad been submitted as mem
bers of the Hudson County Tax Board.
Senator Fielder. Of Hudson. a Democrat,
made a personal issue OF these nominations.
He insisted that the Governor had prom
ised to consult him and did not do so. and
he succeeded in getting enough Republican
Senators from the southern end Of the state
to stand BY him. although the two nomi-
nees were members in good standing OF the
majority party.
Among the bills that were passed in the
closing hours Of the session were those
which permit municipalities to prohibit the
use OF fireworks on the Fourth of July and
the bill authorizing the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company to lease the property OF the
Pennsylvania Tunnel and Terminal Rail
road Company. which is the Pennsylvania
subsidiary company that constructed the
tunnel under the Hudson River and erected
the terminal at 34th street. in New York

EVOLUTION OF THE HAT
Carriers Say They Had to IN
crease Rates.

Washington. April 7.-women's hats
have been growing larger and larger
every year. They have also been grow
ing lighter and lighter IN weight. So
that now one hat weighs less and takes
up more room than ten did ten years
ago. A freight or an express car VIII
hold only tenth OF the hats it once
cid. and the carriers raised the rates
TO make UP the difference.
That is the answer OF the railroads
and express companies TO the complaint
Of the Millinery Jobbers' Association.
which was heard by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to-day. II was
purely a question Of hats. into which
the length Of pins does not enter. The
milliners say the rates are too high.
and the carriers say the evolution y
the headgear drove them TO make the
increase

MENTAL CURE FOR DRINK
Many Saved by Treatment Given
bv CIeruyman at ReCt0ry.

To the great satisfaction Of supporters OF
the Emmanuel Movement. more thah
score of chronic drunkards. among whom
were several prominent New York business
men. have been cured by mental suggestion
IN the rectorv Of St. Marks Church, No 232
East 11th street.
DR.. I.oring W. Batten. pastor Of the
church. who administered the treatment.
stated last evening that his success with
these cases had convinced him that there
lis very great hope that almost all
tirunkards can he cured by the psyche
therapeutic method" This method depends
for its success. he was particular to ex-
plain. not on the use of hypnotism. but
chiefly upon the use Of mental suggestion.
the aid of competent physician or neu-
rologist, and attendance at n weekly
health service" at the church.
Or. Batten said he had never used hyp-
notism, as It was commonly understood
or as It was defined by psychologists; the
nearest he had come to its use was when
he had induced a hypnoidal state, con-
dition which renders the patient easily
susceptible to moral persuasion.
OF the patients Dr. Batten treated only
two suffered relapses. and these. after
further treatment, were cured completely.
In scarcely any case. Dr. Batten said. had
a patient taken a drop Of liquor after being
sent by him TO a physician for the examina-
tion and diagnosis which always precede
the mental and spiritual treatment.
Women as we'll as men have been
treated with gratifying results he ex-
plalned. The number Of treatments given
patient depends upon the case. The first
treatment usually destroys tho appetite for
liquor and other treatments follow 20 in
sure a permanent cure.
The treatments are in the nature OF con-
versations. In which I aim at eliminating
fear, if it is present making drunkenness
abhorrent, and stimulating hope and re-
ligious faith. I have made a special study Of
the causes Of alcoholism. and think / have
gathered some data that escaped the neu-
rologists This I shall take up in an ad-
dress on Alcoholism. Its Forms. Causes
and Cure at S.. Marks Church next sun
day evening. but | shall not be prepared
then"
The clergyman then explained that he
had wished TO test the efficacy Of the
method before making public the results,
and that his experiments had given him
great hope for the success Of the En-
manuel Movement. He referred TO the case
Of a business man who had been in the
alcoholic ward of Bellevue Hospital many
times; after the initial treatment at St
Marks Rectory this man never drank
liquor again, and he is now cured OF
the desire for it. This case illustrates, he
said. the power and the possibilities Of sug-
gestive treatment
