Miss Myers was taken to police

TO FIGHT
RATE PARTIALLY
Board of Trade TO Ask Inter-
state Commission to Stop
Discrimination.

The Board of Trade may ask the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
investigate alleged discrimination by
railroads against Newark manufac-
turers.
George w. Jagle, chairman Of the
committee on transportation, told the
members of the board last night that
the treatment accorded local firms by
the railroads was in direct violation
of the Interstate commerce laws.
Secretary James M. Reilly read a
number of letters tending to show
that the rates for shipment to Boston
and New England and Southern
points were considerably higher from
Newark than from New York. He
said that this discrepancy had been
drawn to the attention of the rail-
roads.
The Robinson-Roders Company In
a letter urged the Board of Trade to
advocate the erection of a bonded
warehouse in Newark to facilitate
foreign reshipments and importa-
lions. 1t was pointed out that it
was a practical impossibility for a
firm to conduct an importing and job
bling business in the city without such
a warehouse.

tary at Convention.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 14.-The con-
tract system of prison labor was
condemned in the report of the COM
mittee on prison labor presented to-

report maintained, should be directed
entirely by the State, and the prod-
lets of this labor should be dis
posed of by the State.
The first consideration of every or
~eanization, the report continued.
should be the training of the prisoner
and after that financial results.
Every prison should be so classified
hat a certain group of men should
at all times be provided with work
on farms, roads and other outside
work, and a larger portion of each
prison should be employed on the
State account system.
James H. Leonard, superintendent
of the Ohio State Reformatory at
Mansfield, was elected president of
the association, and DR.. D. G. Peyton,
Jeffersonville, Ind, vice-president.

The Garden of Eden

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Where is the Garden of Eden2 A dis tinguished clergyman of Louisiana, now deceased, according to the New Orleans Picayune, confidently believed it was st- uated in the state of South Carolina. and published a pamphlet in which he en- deavored to prove his belief. Sir Wil- liam Willcocks of the Royal Geographical society believes the garden-was situated where the Bible locates it.. and has a s30.OO0,0G0 scheme for the reclamation of the large tract of land forming the delta of the Euphrates and the Tigris. His theory is that the garden was devastated by the dragon of the Euphrates'' and that if the Tigris and Euphrates can be mastered by dikes he is of the opinion that the garden can be restored into a region of fruit, flowers and rich crops.
 The Garden of Eden. restored even in part 70 it's ancient beauty. would be the greatest gathering place for tourists the world knows. Everybody would want a fig leaf from the garden.
