SURGEON GENERAL
WANTS INSTITUTION
FOR CARE Of LEPERS
Rupert Blue Says This Is
Only Way to Solve ,
Problem.

A national leprotherium-a hospital or
sanitarium for the treatment of lepers-
Is the only possible way of avoiding
complications and legal embarrassments
and Of stamping out of the disease In
this country, according to Surgeon Gen.
eral Rupert Blue, of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service.
The necessity of a leprotherium Is en-
phasized by the problem now confront
ing the State and national authorities In
the case of the lepers escaped from San
Francisco and Bay City, Mich, one of
whom is now in Denver. and the other
In Bunalo. With respect to the latter,
r. L. Dixon. secretary OF the Michigan
state board of health, today wired the
Marine Hospital Service that he will ex-
ert every means in his power to have
the man returned to his Jurisdiction and
treated as Michigan charge.
The Denver case will have to be re-
ferred to a law officer of the Govern
ment for instruction as to the activities
of tie national public .Eealth service.
Bureau General Blue is in favor Of hav-
Ing, all cases OF leprosy treated in a
national institution, the unfortunates
becoming wards of the Government.
The Marine Hospital Service was in
formed today by cable of one new sus-
pected case of plague at, Puerta de
TERRA, Nothing new came from San
Juan or Havana.

ON COAST
CAUSE ST|FFEN|NG
IN PRICES OF FISH
All Varieties Except Crabs
and Croakers Cost More
Than Last Week.

A general stiffening Of prices on every
thing except crabs and croakers. which
have fallen, summarizes the situation
on the fish wharves this week. The rea-
son assigned by prominent dealers for
the jump Is that recent storms on the
seacoast have made fishing more diff
ficult, and the supply has diminished
accordingly.
Grabs and croakers. not being affected
by conditions on the coast, have become
more plentiful. The market on croakers
is flooded. and the price has been borne
down to $3 barrel for good quality.
Crabs are down as low as 81 a barrel,
though some changed hands today for
N.25.
CLANS, halibut. butterfish, and rock
amount on the maket, and the price has
jumped on all these varieties. Butter
fish is in demand at 81 barrel, clans
are bringing go cents, halibut IL cents.
and rockfish 10 cents pound. These
figures are al. 10 to 25 per cent higher
than last week. t...
Trout was worth $3.50 to 50 a barrel
this morning and although the supply
was fair, the market was pretty well
stopped. stopped Sea bass is steady @ @ at Se CENTS
a pound, and surgeons continue to hold
up to Is cents. Perch was plentiful to-
day and brought s cents a pound, while
cat fish sold for rs cents bunch.
Spanish mackerel was up to II cents,
although that figure Is not high for
mackerel. Bluefish is firm at 10 cents,
and crab meat brought all the way from
80 to 6U cents.
Although the prices in general show a
rise over last week, they are not high,
for the fish market has been cpnsid-
erably below normal for several Weeks.
Dealers are OF the opinion that prices
will remain about as they are as lons
as the storms continue on the coast, and
some predict that the next few DAYS
will witness another rise in the value
OF sea FISH.

HURT SELF TO
SAVE A CHILD
G.. v. Evans Throws Motor
cycle 0ver--Is Hero.

To save the life of a child Carrot
". Evans, a solicitor for the Public
Service Electric Company, risked his
own yesterday afternoon when he
threw over a motorcycle upon which
he was riding. The heroic deed was
performed at State and Fayette
streets late yesterday afternoon
when traffic was heavy. Evans avoid
ed striking a pushcart to find a little
child in his path. He had the alter
native of hitting the child and prob
ably killing it, and throwing his big
Yale four-horsepower machine at a
risk of his own life. He accepted
the latter course and sustained
bruises about the hip, shoulder and
elbow. Fortunately he escaped hay
ing any bones broken.
Evans was homeward bound and
was turning the motorcycle from
State street westward into Fayette
street at the time of the accident.
AS he did SO a peanut vender pushed
a cart almost in front of his ma
chine. Evans made a swing to avoid
a collision and found a child on the
street directly In his path. By care
full manipulation he managed to
throw the machine clear frsm him
self and fall to n side as the mo-
torcycle slid Off to the other. It was
only slightly damaged. The child
was not touched.

GIRLS TO WORK
ONLY 10 HOURS
New Law in Efect--Stores
and Factories.

Every department store in this city
as well as a score or more of indus,
trial concerns, are affected by the
new law which went into operation in
this state on Tuesday, October l,
which provides that no girl or woman
can be employed in a store or an in
dustrial concern more than ten
hours per day, sixty hours per week.
The new law can not be so construed
to read that the female employees of
any store or factory can be allowed
to work more than ten hours per
day, providing the total number of
hours is not more than sixty per
week.
Chief among the factories inter-
ested in the new law Is the Perth
Amboy Cigar Company, which en-
ployes on an average of 1900 girls
per day. The female employees have
been required to work overtime at
least two hours per day, every day
in the week. Hereafter the girls will
be required to work only ten hours
per day, or six days per week. Supt.
Kaufman, of the cigar company,
stated today that the United Cigar
Manufacturers Company, of which
the local plant is a part, Will be re-
CURED to erect two more plants in
New Jersey to meet the fast i~ncreas-
ing demands of the huge concern.
The new plants will be located at
Bound Brook and Chrome. The
company has plants at present in New
Brunswick, South River and Perth
Amboy.
Not only is the Perth Amboy Cigar
Company affected by the new law,
but other large Industrial oncerns
in this city, as we'll. The Roessler
and Hasslacher Chemical Company,
the Chesebrough Vaseline Company,
the Standard Underground Cable
Company, and a or more of 9TH
ers, are affected by the new labor
Dill. The female employees in the va
rious concerns in this city will not
be required to work more than ten
hours per day, and every infringe
ment of this law Is subjected to a
penalty as provided in the bill.
There is a peculiar side to the sit
u%ation, whereby every store in the
city is more or less handicapped by
the new measure. AS Is customary
in every fast growing town, the mer-
chants have made a habit of opening
the stores in the evenings Mt least
w times a week. Inasmuch as tho
girl employees are required, at pres
ent, to report to work at 8 o'clock in
the morning, they will have but one
In which to work in the evening,
unless a radical change is made in
the schedule. Many stores will
meet the new requirements by grant
ing the girls additional time for dip
ner M supper, and thus provide p
means whereby the female employees
can return after supper for two or
three hours of work in the evening.
