Pork Eaters on Increase.

"Pork eaters" Is term which may
rightfully be applied to the people Of
the United States if the figures just
made public by the census bureau for
the year 1909 may be taken as a
basis. The figures show that during
that year 4,4S3,000 more hogs were
killed in this country for food Dur-
,poses than all other animals com
bined, including beeves, calves, sheep
and lambs. goats, kids, ETC. During
the year 1909 36,443, 900 hogs were
killed for food purposes and 31,960,-

Princess Di Trlgona was one Of the
most beautiful ladies-in-watiing to
the queen, and her tragic end has
caused a tremendous sensation. She
was at the court ball on Monday and
attracted more than ordinary atten-

She had had Il disa grcement with her

queen. Her majesty used every in

OUR EXPORTS SHOW DECREASE


dSHlnStOn, MarCn b.-SDeClal:
Decreased receipts Of wheat at lead
ing interior markets, and smaller
shipments Of -four, are the leading
features Of the commercial movement
OF broadstuffs during January Of the
present year, as reported by the Bu-
rcau Of Statistics Of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. For the
first time also the monthly exports Of
wheat were less in quantity than the
exports OF corn.
Grain receipts during January at
fifteen important markets co ,403,-
73l bushcls) show but little varia-
ton from the January figures of the
preceding year and the January aver
age for the preceding 5-year period
The total inbound movement was
made up Of l6,49i.lSi bushels Of
wheat; 20. .iS3.533 bushels Of corn:
16,AS7, ,593 bushels Of oats; 6,lS7,-
o4l bushels Of barley, and 752. 1850
bushels Of rye. As compared with
corresponding 1910 figures for the
more important grains, the receipts
OF corn, oats and barley show larger
totals, while those Of wheat show a
sharp decline from the corresponding
monthly total. 1t should be stated,
though, that this decline is not a pc
culiar feature Of the January re-
Ceipts. AS matter OF fact, wheat
receipts for all the months of the
current season, beginning with Sep
tember, were lower than the year be-
fore, indicating either heavier re-
cciptS at the smaller markets, for
which no official reports are had. or
else larger stocks in the hands Of the
producers. The decrease may be said
to affect almost equally the spring
wheat and the winter wheat mark cts.
Wheat receipts at these markets for
the five months Of the present crop
period fell more than 20 per cent
short OF like receipts during the
l9o9-lo season, and about Is per
cent short OF all the average receipts
during the same period for the pre-
ceding five crop seasons.
The corn receipts at fifteen inte-
rior markets for tho five months
Nli,20i, ,l6S bushcls) were heavier
than for the same periods in the pre-
cedlng five seasons. the larger re-
ccipts for the current season cores
ponding to the larger export de-
mand at the Atlantic ports.
The five months receipts of oats
(90,S57,225 bushcis) were larger,
while those Of barley (44,6O7,655)
were smaller than for the preceding
season.
The total grain receipts during the
hrc months period since September
were 379.74S.t t?2 bushels, compared
with 0.270. 1873 bushels for the
same period last year, and, an aver
age OF over 406.000,00O bushels for
f!: preceding nve-ycar period. The
January shipments OF -four from thir-
teen milling centers (2.755,SO4 bar
rels)' likewise show an unfavorable
turn as compared with the figures Of
the preceding months, and the cor
responding January, 1910, total.
The month witnessed increased re-
ceipts OF corn at the four principal At
lahuc ports (l0,iSH.72l bushels)
compared with 7.S3O.S45 bushels re-
ceived dun ,ng January, 1910, and s.
4IS,Sll bushels received during Jan
uarT, 1909, the exports AT these
ports showing corresponding declines.

JERSEY AND IT'S EXECUTIVE
A Resident Of That State Discusses
Some of Mr. Wilson'S Handicaps.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial about New Jersey
politics in yesterdays issue seems to me TO
express exactly the meaning OF the vote on
last Tuesday.
am regular Republican, and for years
1 have thought both parties were too slow
in initiating the reforms demanded by the
Progressives. Governor Wilson, in a blind
and impractical way, has succeeded in hav-
ing passed a good deal OF good legislation,
particularly in respect TO publication OF
politics. This was indeed badly needed
The new Geran act is good but needs sim
plincation. This can all be done in good
time.
Wilson is entirely impractical. but we
think he means all right. He makes all
sorts Of blunders and would make a very
poor President He is a good man, but 1t
would take too many years TO educate him.
Besides. he is the victim OF lot OF shrewd
and cunning men, who are working him for
their own advantage.
AS you say. the conservative people Of
both parties I'm the state are in favor OF
progressive ideas, but they are not I'm favor
Of the Progressives The people of New
Jersey are sick and tired OF the camp fol-
lowers of Wilson, who are going around
the state In coarse abuse of both parties.
Whichever party keeps up with the modern
trend of thought on the question OF reform
in politics is the party that is going to win
the public favor. REGULAR.

TNNECESSARY JUDGES.

Among the bills which the Legislature
found time to pass in the confusion or
the present session was the bill provid-
ing for additional justices OF the SUI
nreme Court in this district. Governor
Dix vetoed a similar bill which was sent
to him before the recess and should not
fail TO veto this one. Additional justices
are not needed In this district, and the
object Of the bill is not to relieve an
oyerworked court, but to create patron
age for Tammany.
The aim Of legislation should not be
to multiply judicial Offices, but to expe-
dite the processes of justice. A mistaken
notion has been fostered in some quar-
ters that many judges and prompt JUS
tice are almost Synonymous terms They
are not. We have many judges and In
tolerably slow justice in this country.
England has few judges and prompt Jus
tice. Unnecessary judges breed leisurely
habits. lack of industry and other prac-
tees on the bench that cumber up the
calendar.
If the Legislature is so certain that
tie work of this department is falling
behind that it must needs pass over
again a bill rejected by Governor Dix,
let it address itself TO simplifying judi
cial procedure, eliminating technicalities
and reducing the number Of appeals,
With the business Of the courts put on q
sensible basis we should need not more
but fewer Judges.

and reward would be given. for l, as
school principal, knew that l could hold
I'D the deed with fine effect before the
boys who come under my care. Now
appeal for assistance in securing recogni-
ton for this brave deed. The boy Is

Acts OF valor are numerous In this great
city. but we read more often OF hoodlums
than OF heroes among boys and young men.
For that reason 1 trust that this effort may
be suitably recognized and emulated.

HONEY IND BUSINESS

Mercantile and credit conditions in this

THE AUSTIN DISASTER.

A blunder seems TO have been made ID
the construction Of the dam at Austin,
Penn. the bursting of which has just
caused such terrible loss Of life. AS soon
as the reservoir behind 1t was filled
with water after its completion two
wears ago cracks formed in it and water
made its way through the earth under
IT. Since then something appears to
have been done to increase its strength,
for the president OF the company using
the water stored behind it for power pur'
noses was quoted in yesterdays Tribune
as saving that it had ''only recently been
reinforced with another cement dam"
Apparently the reinforcement did not
cure the original defects, whether they
we're caused by construction In freezlng
weather, neglect to ascertain the ability
of the strata beneath the foundations or
the dam TO retain water or failure to al
low the concrete to become so set before

TO all Of which causes the weakness or
the original dam was ascribed by Its de-

trouble was first experienced.
Whether or not the owners OF the dam
took proper measures to make Its condi-
ton safe after the warnings received
when it was first put into use is ques-
ton for official investigation. If after
plain indications that the dam was faulty
the utmost was not done to reinforce 1t
the responsibility Of those who took
chances with the lives of the people liv-
ing below this imprisoned mass Of water

information as to what was actually done

out expert opinion as to the propriety OF
attempting TO patch up dam showing
such defects, 1t Is impossible to reach a
conclusion as to responsibility for the
disaster. The public should withhold its
Judgment. but in view Of the danger sig
nails which the dam gave when it was
first used the burden Of proof is upon
its owners and their engineers to show

ABOUT LABELS.

Only the other day mention was made
in The Tribune of fourishing home in
dustry, that Of the manufacture Of imi-

Original packages" for the deception of
the lOng-suffering ultimate consumer and
the benefit of dishonest dealers We have
been warned time and again against do
nestle labels that apparently guarantee
the genuinenesS of the articles they
adorn, but in reality do nothing Of the
kind, as a careful reading Of the micro
Scopic type between the Haunting capitals
will reveal Europe shares with us this
burden Of deception. but whereas in this
country the battle is most persistently
waged against deCeptively and falsely
labelled foOdstuffs, across the ocean the
struggle appears to be chiefly for the
purity Of beverages.
The quarrel in France over champagne

that over the right 10 a famous liqueur

iS the great cOgnac mystery, as dark and
fearsome as the proverbial one over our
own hash. Matters of liquids appear to
be Of more importance to European pal
ates and digcstions than was, for in
stance, the discovery made in Germany
some years ago that little bits Of black
silk were much used as a substitute for
trufiles in sauces.
And now Germany has a liquid label
quarrel OF its own. 1t concerns no less

given indiscriminately to many wines
grown in the nelghborhoOd Of Worms.
where is situated the little vineyard, the
property Of the Church of Our Lady Of
Worms, which alone has a right to it.
The verdict Of the Chamber Of Com
merce Of the city is that the name may
be- freely used, that in the wine trade it
has become generic one for the wines
OF the yicinage. The case has also
served to bring 10 light the fact that the
difference between "Liebfraumilch" and
"Liebfrauenmilch" on the label is in this
case the difference between the true and
the false No doubt our manufacturers
Of labels and packing have already been
Informed Of the distinction and have
taken measures accordingly. 1t is there

sumner.
