WON'T LET ROADS
PUT UP RATES To
SWELL REVENUE

WASHINGTON. April 27.-Refusal of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to permit the principal railways of the
West to advance their rates on the
transportation of cement for the reason
that the carriers are a~llegedto need ad-
ditional revenue is the feature of a de-
cision handed down today in the i'm
portant Portland cement case.
General advances of from half a cent
to five cents a hundred pounds in rates
on cement were proposed by the car
riers in trans-Missouri territory to be-
come effective September 1, 1910, and
affected a territory which produces ap-
proximately t~wo-thirds of the Port
land cement made in the United
States.
In the opinion promulgated today the
commission did not accept as decisive
the statement of the carriers hat pres
ent cement rates are so low as to be I'M
remunerative and that the commodity
Goes not bear its just proportion of the
burden of transportation, the testimony
on that feature of the case being re-
garded as very meagre."

TO URGE MORE EXACTING
LICENSE REQUIREMENTS.
Pharmacy Alumni to Draft Pre-
requisite Bill.

One hundred and fifty members of
the Alumni Association of the New
Jersey College of Pharmacy sat down
to tables loaded with good things at
Dodgers Hall last night. The occa-
sion was the sixteenth annual banquet
of the association. and there was no
end of good fellowship and reminis-
cences. Adolph f. Marquier, the
president, was toastmaster, and the
Jersey City. and DR.. Rudolph Brebes.
The speakers dwelt on the rapid
growth of the association during it's
sixteen years of existence. 1t was
pointed out hat the alumni started
with five members and now has a men,
bership list of more than 5000. 1t was
announced that a committee of the as
ISOLATION would shortly draft a bill for
a prerequisite law to be passed in this
State.
For some time the association has
been in favor of sue a law being en-
acted, the purpose of which is to make
1t necessary that an applicant for a
State license should be a graduate of q
college of pharmacy. At present the
candidate may be appointed on the
merits of his own training or hat OBJ
tanned in a drug store. The a~ssocia-
| ton CONTENDS that more thorough and
exacting qualifications thar these
should be realized before an applicant
is licensed.
Much interest was manifested in the
announcement that the commences
ment exercises in the local college OF
pharmacy will be held on May .. Al
the members were urged to attend and
hear the talk to be given by DR.. Wiley,
the government food expert.

DISCUSS MEANS
To END CALDWELL
PRISON INERTIA
Stone Breaking, Broom and
Brush Making Favored
by FreehOlders.

Three methods of employment for
convicts at the Essex county peniten-
tiary gained favor yesterday at a meet
ing of the finance committee of the
Board of Freeholders, and it is be-
lieved, as a result, that a way will be
found to put the prisoners there to
work within a short time. The occu-
pations favored were stone-breaking,
making brushes and broom manufac-
ture. Many other ideas were advanced.
The ~conyicts have not been regularly
employed since the handkerchief manu-
featuring plant was removed several
years ago.
The question was brought up before
the committee by a number of workers
for prison reform, among them being
Joseph p. Byers, secretary of the State
Charities and Prison Reform Associa-
ton; Arthur w. McDougall, superin-
tendent of the bureau of Associated
Charities; John A. Cullen, superin-
tendent of the Catholic Children's Aid
Society, and DR.. Laban Dennis. No
definite action was taken.
The issue of 800, 900 bonds to provide
payment for paving certain thorough
fares already agreed upon was au-
thorized. A committee was appointed
to expedite the sale of the old county
hospital for the insane in South Or
ange avenue, authorized two years ago.
but never consummated. A request
from a typewriter earning $40 a month
for an increase in salary was denied,
and the force at the Court House In
creased by hiring an additional typist
at s45 a month. County Clerk Wool
ston also requested the committee to
make a record of the fact that his Of
flee showed no deficiency in its cost
of management, as reported erron-
eously in a newspaper recently. ln-
stead of being conducted at a loss the
office shows a profit to the county, he
said, the report having arisen through
ignorance of the actual conditions.

SAYS JUDGES OFFEND IN
SAME WAY AS HIS CLIENT.

In defending Alfred B.. Cosey, a law
yer, charged with taking away papers
from the East Orange District Court,
today, Thomas s. Henry, his attorney,
claimed if 1t was a crime to take away
papers from a court every Judge in the
State is guilty of a misdemeanor, as
they took away papers from their
courts. as did the clerks. The trial was
before Recorder Mott, in the East Or
ange Police Court.
He claimed the language of the act
as defined by the Legislature showed
that 1t wax not meant to be a crime to
take away the papers. which we're in
"a suit in which Cosey was defendant in
the Distric. Court come time ago. Mr..
Henry also claimed the complaint de-
fective,s as the evidence did not show
his client etole the papers, and when he
heard hat Clerk Baldwin had stated
that papers were missing he wrote q
letter to the clerk telling him he had
loaned the papers and Immediately sent
them back to the court.
Recorder Mott said If 1t had been
shown no verdict vas reversed by the
stealing or taking away of the papers
the act showed a complaint could be
taken, and in his Judgment it would
mot be necessary. to have so much GER
tatnty in the complaint as Il. would be
in an Indictment. Mr.. Cosey was
fparoled in the custody OF Mr.. Henry
pending a final decision. If the COM
plant is 7 lstained Mr. Henry said he
would apply to the chief Justice for a
writ. i
Mr.. Henry made several offers to the
court, saying he was willing that Mr..
Baldwin should make another COM
p1aint to better sustain his point, but
Recorder Mott said he would pass on
the matter later.
