After October l, it will be un-
lawful to have a common drinking
cup" in any park, public building, fac
tory, theater, school, railroad station
or ferry house in New York city. A
regulation adopted by the board or
health. as an additional section to the
sanitary code, rates the common
drinking cup as a public nuisance and
prescribes penalties to prevent its use.
Commissioner Lederle points out that
the public drinking cup Is now regard
ed as the most dangerous carrier IN
diphtheria, scarlet fever, tonsilitis,
colds, influenza, tuberculosis and 9TH
er infectious diseases. The health
boards action follows an investiga-
ton in which meteorological examina-
tions were made Of the moisture ad-
herent to the edges of public drinking
cups from various places in the city
The results fully demonstrated the
danger of transmission of disease In
this manner.
Z champion and practice the right
criticism OF the Federal judiciary for
the very reason that 1t is the only al
tentative to adopting some other
method of bringing the Federal judi
ciary. whenever necessary, In closer
touch with the people," declared Theo-
dore Roosevelt in San Francisco last
Wednesday night, in an address TO
popular mass meeting. Mr.. Roosevelt
devoted his attention almost wholly
to the question of the recall Of the ju-
dietary which is now agitating Cali
fornia and several other western
states. Regarding recent changes In
many states from an appointive to an
elective judiciary, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Personally. think to elect judge
for a very short term without recall
is more destructive of the judges in
dependence and usefulness than to
elect him for a long term with re-
call; and If people would only pay
attention to the facts and not names,
this would be universally recognized.
For the very reason that care for the
fact and not for the name, emphati-
cally believe in making change, in
adopting any necessary methods
where, for any reason, certain judges
cease to do justice"
New York, March 2S: The grand
Jury threw into action today the ma
chinery for a full investigation Of the
Washington square fire of Saturday. in
which 142 lives were lost, by sub
poenaing twenty persons as witnesses
TO establish the blame and the board
of aldermen paved the way for an or
dinance making fire drills compulsory
in factories. Among the witnesses
summoned before the grand jury are
Max Blanck, one Of the proprietors Of
the Triangle Waist company, whose
employees were the victims, and Joseph
Asch, owner of the building. Identi-
fication eliminated from the morgue
all but twenty bodies. An aldermanic
committee was instructed to draft a
bill for presentation to the legislature,
placing the installation and mainte-
nance of fire escapes on all buildings
solely under the jurisdiction of the fire
department. incidentally the alder
men found an order to the Manhattan
superintendent Of buildings to re
port any dangerous conditions which
may exist by virtue Of inadequate
legislation and which may cause loss
of life by fire." The order was issued
shortly after twenty-six girls lost
their lives in a fire at Newark, N j.,
on November 26. last.
- San Francisco, March %: Jack
Johnson called on District Attorney
Fickert to see If something could not
be done to get out of the twenty
five day Jail sentence imposed by JUS
tice Treadwell Saturday. They're
rubbin 1t into me, your honah, on ac-
count of my race" said Johnson
What's a little speedin' in nah auto
mobile that / should go to jail?
District Attorney Fickert replied: 1T
isn't the color of your face. but the
white streak you leave behind you
when you ride through the streets.
Fickert thought twenty-five days ex-
cessive and he intimated that he
would move before Treadwell to have
the Judgment modified. Justice Tread
we'll, however, was in a belligerent
mood, he said: The trouble with
Johnson is that he has been getting
too much advertising practically FOR
nothing. I looked over his court rec
ord and 1t made me sick. Fifteen or
sixteen times he has been fined S25
for exceeding the speed limit and
each time he has got several thousand
dollars worth of advertising out of 1t.
Paying fines Is his way Of keeping In
the limelight." Judge Hogan was
more inclined TO side with Johnson.
He gave oral notice of appeal before
me-that is sufficient" said the judge.
The whole matter comes up before
me today and then 1t can be settled
-Viterbo, Italy, March 80: Accord
ing to the revelations of Abbatemag-
gio, who is appearing as witness
against his former associates In their
trial for murder, Naples is divided in
to fourteen Camorrist regions, each
having its Camorrist hierarchy. In
each district a member of the organi-
Zation is daily entrusted with the
maintenance of order among those af-
filiated with the Camorra. His powers
and influence are greater than those
of the police or carabineers, as he Is
expected to denounce those who COM
init disorders and thus compromise the
important enterprises. The entire af-
ternoon was taken up by evidence
submitted by Abbatemaggio at the va
rious Investigations. Abbatemaggio
said that shortly after the murder of
Cuoccola, when he was in company OF
Giovanni Papia, the alleged treasurer
of the Camorrists, he met the priest
Vitozzi who suggested that Erricone
so that he might not be suspected,
should go frequently to the Mimi
Amera cafe and give the police the i'm
preston that he was a frequenter OF
the place 1t was in this inn that the
report of the murder of Cuoccola, is
alleged to have been communicated TO
Erricone. Abbatemaggio swore that
VitOzZi was an active member or the
Camorra; that he frequented the
meetings of the organization dressed
as layman and was particularly ag-
gressive in helping to carry out the
