children of all ages up to 14-were
issued to 766 children. Many Of these,
however, were simply transfers from
one mill to another in the same town.
This figure would indicate that the

disposition to settle down and remain

at is noteworthy that a compila

made early in the year after the first
inspection. which Is given in the ta

to high grade goods is now begin
ming to be felt, az IS shown by the
decrease of 26.449 bales OF cotton con

worthy too. that the consumption Of
coal has increased only but slightly.
THE final figures for the year show
$73070.000 as capital invested, while
early In the year the reports show
$76,S29,939. This difference may be
due to several causes, for the par value
OF the capital stock this year Is $61.-
674,00S. Tho discrepancy referred to
evidently occurred by different under

ayers and presidents as to the exact
meaning of capital invested

year, we have undertaken also to
make a complete directory of the
textile industry showing, by mills

dealing with consumers in the not dis

has been done in view of the many
inquiries along this line that have

AMENDMENTS To
EDGE LIABILITY
BILL CAUSE TILT
Senator Declares Part Objected
To Is Its Most Meritoris
Gus Feature.
Irrom a staff correspondent.l

TRENTON, March S.-Senator Geb-
hardt offered several amendments 80
the Edge employers liability bill, whi-h
came up for second reading in the Sen.
ate today, but there Is little Likelihood
of their being adopted. because they
would make the bill even more strir-
gent than It was originally as drawn
by the commission appointed by Gov
ernor Fort.
An otherwise dull session of the Sen
ate today was enlivened by proposed
amendments which seek to give work
ingnlen the privilege of recovering
damages without limitation as tt
amount, and in that respect disagrees
with a section in the Edge bill which
fixes the amount recoverable.
Mr.. Gebhardt denounced the measure
as miserable maleshift," and de-
clared 1t wes the worst ever intro.
duced." Messrs. Edge, Fielder and
Osborne didn't coincide with the Ceb-
hardt opinion, and told the latter so
very plainly.
MIR. Edge explained that the section
in his measure to which MI. Gebhardt
objected was really Its most meritorious
feature, for the reason that II compels
employers to compensate their injured
employees, and thereby makes ii I'M
necessary for the latter to incur the
expense of litigation.
Mr.. Gebhardt's statement that AS
semblyman Ford, president of the
State Federation of Labor, had char.
acterized the measure as a gold brick
aroused Mr.. Osborne, who retorted tina
labor Representatives at hearings OF
the bin had expressed their complete
satisfaction Nth its provisions.
After the argument had been IL
progress about an hour MI. Prince
proposed that discussion of all pro,
posed amendments be made q specIa
order for Tuesday morning nex a
1920. "hen followed the introduct or
of amendments by Messrs. Leayitt
Gebhardt and Edge.

SUES PUBLIC SERVICE
COMPANY FOR TAXES

A summons was filed today with the
sheriff by City Counsel James R. Nu-
gent in the suit against the Pubic
Service Company for 100000, which
the city says, under the agreement OF
1893, it Is entitled TO the 5 per cent.
tax on the gross receipts OF the COM
pany. This follows the action Of the
Common Council of sometime &
when Jerome It. Congleton brought to
the attention of the council the fact
that these payments were overdue and
advised that the council, being tn
financial body of the city, take the
matter into its own hands. Before this
the Board of Works had the matter IN
charge.
It was decided by the Common Coun-
Gil that the law department begin ac-
ton against the company, but until
today nothing was don in the matter
As yet the city a filed no declaration
but this can be done any time within
the next thirty days. The city bases
its suit on the noncompliance Of the
! company with the ordinance OF 1898
The sum of $500, 600 does not represent
| the actual amount the city believes hal
! been withheld from its treasury by in
| sufficient returns made by the con-
pany, but is an arbitrary amount fixed
upon by the city.
There are three measures affecting
this matter, but because the courts
overthrow the ordinance Of 1905 tn
1888 ordinance is used as the basis 70
the suit, this being more recent thar
the original agreement In 1891.
This suit involves the Public Service
and it's predecessors, the North Jerse'
and the Consolidated Traction Com
| pany. II IL believed that this suit vii
settle forever whatever disputes hav'
arisen between the company and tn
lefty on this s per cent. question.

where they will join the force of
marines en- route for Guantanamo,

speedy start for League Island, where

TRENTON, March S.-The Shalvoy
bill, providing that stablemen' In the
fire departments of Newark and Jersey
City be paid the same salary as the
firemen, was beaten after a long dis .
c~ussion, the vote being 20 to 10. The
small vote is accounted for from the
fact that there was many absentees in
the House at the opening of today's
session. There was general objection
to the Shalvoy bill from the smaller
counties.
The Brown bill annexing to South
Orange Village a portion of the Town
ship of South Orange was passed. The

ter of wealthy people. was waking on

lily was I'll and that she must hurry

enter the cab. The driver started of
at q quick trot, but the girl, already in
stinctively suspicious, noted that tbs

notorious part of the town. instead OF
toMa ard her home
Miss Richards says that h girl es'
capped by knocking the man over tn
head with the library book she ccrriet
and by ieaping from the ra~pidly-mov-

Miss Richards thinks that the Arnold
