Bridgeport Young Woman Compelled to
Drink Kerosene.

Press dispatches from Bridgeport, Conn,
Monday stated that Miss Lorraine Clark.
l4-year-old daughter of +. c. Clark, OF
that city. was dying in the Brattleboro
Retreat from the effects of her initiation
into secret society of the Bridgeport
high school. There is absolutely no truth
to such report and Miss Clark is not
an inmate of the Retreat and has not
been. She is, however. guest at Linden
Lodge and will remain there for few
days She is suffering in no way from
mental troubles. though she naturally eX-
perienced severe fright from the rough
methods adopted at her initiation, The
Young woman is large for her age, lacking
hut one inch of being six feet She is
suffering from an attack of nervous ex-
haustion brought about largely by the
treatment which she received. The com
ing week she will be visited by relatives
about to start on a trip abroad and 1t Is
not improbable that she will feel sufficient
" recovered to accompany them.
The story of the young woman's lnltla-
ton is substantially as told in dispatches
to the newspapers from Bridgeport. She
was compelled to drink connection of
which one of the ingredients was kero-
sene. Macaroni garnished with soap and
boiled in kerosene also constituted part
of the menu. She was also tossed in a
blanket and it was the latter part of the
initiation that really brought about the
nervous affection Miss Clark is daugh-
ter of F. c. Clark, member OF the Con-
necticut legislature. Through the mistake
of an employee of the Brattleboro Retreat
a newspaper man was informed that Miss
Clark was an inmate there. The employe
knew that there was Miss Clark at the
institution and supposed that she was the
person whom the newspaper man inquired
for.

THE TRUTH ABOUT COLD STORAGE.

x cry plausible statements and arguments We're made to the
~ Assembly committee at Trenton yesterday by representa-
tives of the cold-storage houses to make it appear that the
coldstorage system, as manipulated by them, was a public bless
ing and Il boon to humanity, which the law should not attempt to
regulate or control. If these men were the managers of Il great
philanthropy having no connection with commerciaism and no
private gain TO seek they would still be properly liable to State
Supervision. But they run their plants for profit, and it is notorious
fare. The cold storage system is in its nature a benefcence, since
il enables man to preserve perishable food and make a season
of abundance compensate for a season of scarcity. 1t is not cold
storage, but the gross and criminal misuse of cold storage, that is
the gravamen of complaint. Monopoly has converted cold storage
Tito Il means of creating an artificial scarcity, in order to plumber
tie consumer; it is made the side partner of the meat trust and
cold storage has been made the means of deterioration of food.
Unscrupulous men store food in unfit condition and keep it stored
until the processes of decay are we'll advanced. Testimony before
the Hudson county grand jury has shown that food of this char
acter when taken from cold storage has been "doctored2 for the
market. There is no blinking these plain facts. The worst evils
that are inflicted upon the people can be buttressed by such .argu
nents as were made at Trenton yesterday by cold-storage repre-
sentatives. 1t would be criminal for the Legislature, with the
knowledge that has been obtained OF the cold-storage business, to
adjourn this session without providing some adequate protection
for the public against coldstorage abuses. The Legislature is called
upon TO legislate not only for the people of New Jersey, but for the
country at large.

To the Sporting Editof of the Evening Star.
Sir-In your issue of March 3 appears
an article regarding the late editor, }.
NJ. Reuck. In your comments you
state: He was also proprietor and
founder of the Orange Journal, which
made it's first appearance about 1875"
Permit me to ask, as the son that
you kindly refer to the minutes of the
thirty-ffth annual meeting of the Edi-
torial Association of the State of New
Jersey, held at Trenton, February 2,
1891, and in the obituary written by f.
w. Baldwin, then editor of the Orange
Chronicle, appears the following facts,
which are absolutely correct, inasmuch
as my father was the founder of the
first newspaper printed in Orange, when
it was nothing but a country town:
'In 1854 Mr.. Gardeners love for New
Jersey, which had been acquired in his
boyhood, led him to Orange, then a
country village just beginning to put
out feelers and develop into an impor-
tant town. He became acquainted with
the leading men of the place, who urged
him to start a newspaper, the outcome

Once upon a time in a town which
was sufficient unto itself sand in
dulged in little traffic with the out
side world, the money market grew
very tight.
1t finally came to BASS that sam
pies of the coin of the realm were
largely sought as souvenirs and for
other purposes.
The disappearance Of the cur
rency in this town proved a mys-
terry, which, apparently. could not
be explained, as all of the heiresses
of the place married within its Dor
der.
Finally, an aged and eccentric re-
cluse, who was regarded as the
poorest woman in the village, died,
and all Of the money of the town
folks was found hidden about the
squalid little hovel, where she had
made her home.
This is a big country, but so many
misers in whose cottages fortunes
are found after their death have
bobbed up recently that the recent
scarcity of money may be thus ex-
planned.

THE SHORT BALLOT IN NEW JERSEY.

m SHORT BALLOT" means that, as far as possible, the direct.
EN choice of public servants shall be removed from the people
the offices to be made appoinuve. Governor Fort is right
when he says that the New Jersey ballot is the shortest ballot in
the United States. The State ticket bears only the names of the
Governor and members of the Legislature, all the other State off
GERS, except treasurer and comptroller, which are elective by the.
Legislature, being appointive by the Governor, with Or without.
confirmation by the Senate. If a short ballot is preferable, there
fore, New Jersey has it to perfection. The tendency in munici
paities of the State has also been to make offices appointive by
the mayor. Newark elects only the mayor and members of the
Common Council, Board of Works and Board of Freeholders. The
ballot could be diminished in size by reducing the representation
on these boards. Sixteen men could compose the Council, while
the county board could be made smaller by creating larger units
of representation. AS for the Board of Works, the many and in
ereasngly important duties deyolving on that body precludes the
idea of a sngleheaded authority. The duties of this board are
partly of a Legislative character, anyhow. In the State govern
ment the number of elective offices could, in fact, be increased.
We have an anomalous system of gubernatorial succession that
should be changed. New York and other States have elective lieu.
tenant governors, to assume the chief executive office in case of the
absence, disability or death of the governor. AS it is, the acting
governor is also a member of the Legislature, with the consttu-
tional right to vote O measures that as acting governor he will
be called upon to sign or veto.

of which was the establishment of the
Orange Journal in that year. The first

Washington hand press, and, as it was
the first blossom of journalism in the

the events of local history. For a

he graces it's past history, as reference
to statistics will prove. My father,

journalists of the State, and, with such

we are liable to be fined $40.
Then If we put out the sign when the
car is not full we are also liable to be

ductors are trying to figure out Is just
how we are going to decide whether
our car is full or not.
If we think the car is full and a po-
liceman thinks it is not it's a $40 fine

ROOT OF THE EVIL OF HIGH PRICES.

m FTER all that has been said and threatened and done in re-
IN gard 10 high prices for necessaries the high prices persist.
The meat boycott seems to have petered out. People eat
less meat, of sheer necessity, but the meat. trust makes a better
profit by selling a reduced output at high prices than by the sale
of a larger one at a cheaper price. The Senate investigation of the
increased cost of the necessaries of life has now begun, after long
delay, and we are going to have all kinds of statements and theories
and statistics to befog the question. And still high prices will pre-
vail. National and State legislators, if they were intent upon bring
ing early relief to consumers, could do so by attacking the root
of the evil, namely, the combination that controls cold storage.
Place the proper regulations on the storage of food, prevent the
hiding away of vast quantities of food for long periods, limit the
time during which food can be thus withheld from the markets.
and food prices will come down, for they cannot be maintained.

IT T seems singular that it was left to this late day to introduce a
bill in the Legislature making it compulsory upon physicians
and managers of hospitals and other institutions for the sick
10 report tuberculosis cases to the local boards of health. Such a
requirement is one of the first essentials in a war against the great
white plague. Many physicians become so famiiarized with dis
ease cases and so caHous that they are careless. For years there
has been a chronic neglect to report births, although the law re.
quires reports of all such cases. it has been held by some ply
sicians that compensation is due to them for the labor of making
a report. but that narrowly selfish view is rejected by the many.
IT cannot decenty be asserted against compulsory reports of tuber
culosis cases. The credit of the medical profession is involved in
the efforts to stamp out "A disease which has so long bafied medical
science, and physicians should gladly contribute to the success of
those efforts.
