TRADE BOARD WINS
STEAMSHIP FIGHT
Mallory and Morgan Lines
Give In to Local
Shippers.

After fighting for six months
the alleged discrimination pracused
against Newark manufacturers by
the Mallory and Morgan steamship
lines, Secretary James M. Reilly and
the transportation committee of the
Board of Trade have been successful
in securing the reduced rates they
wanted.
Heretofore the rate for carrying
goods from Newark to the Mallory or
Morgan pier in New York was fifteen
cents a hundredweight. The Mallory
and Morgan companies only paid the
local carriers twelve cents, thus leav-
ing them a profit Of three cents on
this end in addition to the high rate
minimum of S1.55 for shipments to
Texas from New York.
Numerous conferences have been
held, but it was not until today that
the steamship lines gave way and
agreed to charge the local shippers
the fat rate of twelve cents a hun
dred to New York.
The Morgan and Mallory companies
also announced las result of the ac-
tivities of the local trade board COM
iiitltt, bHii iOSdi oHippCiS Nohiu AP
ply the regular published rate of SLIP
to Galveston, Texas, and then use the
local tariff rate to inland points. This
makes a lower total rate than the
through published tariff rate
The transportation committee is
now directing its activities against
the various railroads which are dis
eliminating against Newark. 1t is
claimed by the committee that the
rate for boots and shoes from Phila-
delphia to Boston is % cents hun
dredweight by rail. The rate from
Newark to Boston for the same goods
is So cents a hundred pounds, and
the Philadelphia shipments pass
through Newark en- route to Bos-
ton.
The same is true of linoleum ship
ments and hundreds of others, the
committee says.
On linoleum, the rate from Phila-
delphia to Boston per hundred pounds
1920 cents less than carload lots, and
is cents by the carload.
From Newark to Boston the rate is
80 cents in less than carload lots, and
20 cents by the carload.
The committee is working energet-
ically against these rates, and If no
satisfaction is received from the rail-
road officials the matter will be
brought to the attention of the In
terstate Commerce Commission.

FIGHT TRUST POINT
IN MORSE CASE
Metropolitan Steamship Co.
Wants Sherman Act Violation
Clause Ruled Out.

Vlce-Chancellor Stevens today re-
served decision on a motion by Fred
erick j. Faulks to strike out of a bill
of complaint filed by Miss Jennie r.
Morse, sister of the financier, Charles
". Morse, against the Metropolitan
Steamship Company of New Jersey,
an allegation charging that the
directors of the Metropolitan COM
pany had violated the Sherman law.
Mr.. Faulks declared the bill set out
no specific act of violation.
The motion was contested by Con-
over English, of McCarter & English,
representing Miss Morse.
Mr.. English said the defendant di-
rectors, acting as dummies Of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, had wrecked the Metropoli-5
tan Steamship Company, and that the
allegation respecting the Sherman
law were merely part and parcel of
the whole story In pursuance of
their conspiracy to wreck the COM
pany, he said, they caused 1t to be
denuded of its assets by conveying
its freightboats and docks in New
York and Boston to the Metropolitan
Steamship Company of Maine, and
the passenger steamers, the Yale and
the Harvard. the principal assets, 10
the Pacific Navigation Company, so
that the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Company would have
monopoly of freight and passenger
traffic between New York and Bos-
ton.
Miss Morse's bill, which was the
subject of today's litigation, in effect
asks the New Jersey Court of Chan
Gerry to stretch it's arm across the
continent and compel the return of
the boats into Atlantic Coast service.
She is the owner of 1877 shares in the
Metrnnnlitan Steamship Company.

DRINKS POLISH AS WHIsKEY

A slight resemblance between brass
polish and whiskey nearly cost the
life of John Barkiewize, 40 years old,
of 2S6 Jefferson street, last night.
Barkiewize lives above the saloon of
Wallack Ciezezyki. and it was upon
a table in the rear of the place that
he noticed the bottle of "whiskey."
After taking a drink of the contents
of the bottle he thought it was an
expensive brand that he had never
had before and he almost drained
the bottle before the saloonkeeper
discovered him. He was rushed to
st. Jamess Hospital unconscious,
where a stomach pump did success
full work. The doctors say he will
recover.

The work OF lining the reservoir from
which the city receives its water sup
ply. which had been delayed by the
nen. arrival of cement, has been re-
sumed, and the water IVES let out al
the big tank, Monday morning, in ord
er that the work of putting in the
bottom might be commenced. The wall
along the south side is all completed,
and it is now expected that the entire
Job VIII be completed in about three
weeks Much inquiry has been made
of late regarding the peculiar taste of
the city water, and the cause is said
to be the cement with which the walls
of the reservoir have already been
coated 1t has been thought wise not
to depend entirely on pumping directly
into the water main in case of fire, and
to that end six or seven feet of water
have been kept in the reservoir for
use in case of emergency, and it is this
water coming in contact with the ce-
ment that gave to the water its pecul-
lar taste.
