Special to the EVENING NEWS
Roosevelt, Feb. 24.-Plans are be-
fore the war department at Wash
ington for the improvement of dock
ing conditions of this place to ae-
commodate the larger crafts, draw
ing % and 23 feet Of water, at the
plant of the United States Metals
Refining Company. 1t is the inten-
ton of the officials of this concern
to extend their dock, which is now
$50 feet long, $50 feet into the
sound, making the dock 500 feet in
length. The Improvements when
complete will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Local conditions at the present
time cannot accommodate large
crafts and this makes it necessary to
discharge at New York the cargo
consigned to the local factory at
New York and bring it TO the factory
by lighters. This is an additional
expense and much loss of time. The
proposed changes when In vogue Will
allow any vessel drawing twenty
three feet of water to dock.
Besides the addition of the dock
the sound and surrounding water
Will be dredged to meet the require
ments. The new addition 10 the
water front will add considerable as
revenue yearly to the Custom House

Popular Government, we all be-

Against Coal Men.
STATE sEALER TO HELP
Find Elizabeth Men Punish
ed Under Same Law Which
Recorder kefloe Ridicules.

Dismissal by Recorder Henry W.
Kehoe. OF criminal action against
Ave coal dealers for giving short
weight did not put an end to the
cases, but on the other hand has
stirred City Attorney G. G. Hom-
mann and Henry Toft, sealer OF
weights and measures, to more de-
termined action. The city attorney
lis preparing papers to bring the
cases directly before the grand jury
and Sealer Toft is taking the sub
ject up with the state through the
state superintendent of weights and
measures.
Proceeded Like Other SeaIers.
The cases are for short weight In
coal deliveries alleged by Mr.. Toft
to have been given by John Schultz
& Company, Consumers Coal & Ice
Company, Peter Larsen, Joseph Jad-
etcheck and John Fingerote. They
are accused of having at different
times given short weight and Mr.
loft claims he caught them In the
act. He declares he proceeded In
the cases Just as sealers OF other
communities have In similar IN
stances. To ascertain that he was
absolutely right Mr.. Toft went to
Elizabeth yesterday to see how the
sealer of that city had brought ac-
tions which caused dealers. who
gave short weights and pleadea
guilty, to suffer a punishment OF
$50 fine and another who stood trial,
q penalty OF 800 fine. He there
learned that he had proceeded the
only lawful way and now feels salts
fed that he has the dealers In a po-
sition to warrant punishment.
Complaint Under Section 70.
Complaints against the Ave deal
ers were brought under section 2e
OF the laws of the state concerning
Weights and Measures. effective May
/, 1911, which is as follows: Amy
person who injuries or defrauds an
other by using or causing to be used
with knowledge that the same ts
false, a false weight, measure, or
other apparatus for determining
the quantity OF any commodity or
article OF merchandise, or sells, or
exposes for sale less than the guam
ity he represents. Is guilty of mis-
dtsmeanor."
In deciding the cases yesterday,
Recorder Kehoe declared the law
specified by stating with knowledge
that the same Is false," that the In
tart had to be established. AS all
tha dealers declared themselves not
guilty and Mr.. Toft. said at Finger
ote's hearing yesterday that he
could not say he gave short weight
with intent to defraud, Mr.. Kehoe
maintained the only alternative he
had was OF dismissing the COM
paints he declared the state law
in that respect farce and after the
hearing said, II the city wanted to
punish merchants for giving short
weight, they had better pass an or
dinance.
Action In Elizabeth.
Mr.. loft, while In Elizabeth yes
terday, learned that the seaIer of
that city worked under section 26
of the state law just as he had done.
The court there held, rs did City At
torney G. G. Hommann in the local
cases, that the intent to defraud
was established by the fact that
short weight was given. Mr.. Hom-
mann said no powers that be but the
Supreme could read a mans mind
and tell Of the intent he had In Civ
ing short weight.

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of tuberculosis and other Pre-
VentabIe Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find method for
reducing the cost of life insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policyholder of $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 a year on his premiums If
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. Tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder of from
$16.70 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
Of sixty. At age Of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis says that the combined
effort of every man, woman and child
is necessary to bring about radical
reduction in life insurance rates such
as Professor Glover has indicated.
