Well Equipped With lmpor-
tant Directories and Maps.

New quarters for the business
branch of the Newark Public Library
were opened today. The location is
Is Beaver street, and the building
there has been leased from the New
ark Evening News. The News re-
Gently erected the building. 1t is the
purpose OF the library trustees to use
the branch for the special benefit OF
the business firms OF Newark. Here
tofore the branch has been located
on Clinton street. Miss Sarah b. Ball
is in charge.
The lease will run for five years.
The city will pay the Evening News
So 800 for the first year and 800 addi-
tional for each succeeding year.
The new branch of the public library
is so constructed that there is always
plenty of natural light for the read
ers. The building is two stories high,
and constructed throughout of a light
colored brick, trimmed with granite
facings. The interior consists OF two
large rooms, one to each floor, with
adjoining chambers The free type
writer, which Is always at the service
of the public. is located In one OF
these rooms at the rear on the first
floor.
The first floor of the building is
entirely given over to the wants OF
the business men. Books, thousands
in numbers, relating to foreign and
domestic commerce, directories of
every city in the world, books on ad-
yertising, craftsmanship and account
ing are to be had for the asking. The
collection of books on accounting Is
considered one of the finest in the
world Maps of different cities, States
and counties adorn the walls, and
there will shortly be installed map
of 1000 counties in the United States.
This is one third of the area of the
country. The map is published by the
postoffice department and will be the
only one In any library In the coun-
try Another map of much interest
at the present time is. one of Mexico,
presented to the library by the Mexi-
can secretary of war, and hitherto
unexhibited. The maps are so ar
ranged that four people can consult
them at the same time.
The library is of great need to
the average business man, accord
ing to Miss Ball. 1--WE have to an
swer many questions In the course
of a day that are very important to
the business man and saves him lot
of time and trouble by being able
to get the information here. For In
stance, someone wants to know where
he can find a reputable lawyer near
Alemeda, Cal, and must know at
once OF course he wants a reputable
man. We are able to supply that in
formation"
Another question asked recently,
which shows the advantage of the
library, was, what street is the
postofflce in Charleston, s. c., located
on?'
When told to simply address POST
office the questioner replied, 81 don't
want to write to the postmaster, but
1 have a friend living on the same
street, and if I knew the street could
find them at once"

TEN YEARS FOR
LIQUOR ''FAKER''
Heavy Sentence for Man Guilty
of Rectifying Without License
and counterfeiting.

For rectifying liquor without IL
cense and counterfeiting imported
cordials and bitters, Albert Milanese
of IS Grand street. Hoboken, today
was sentenced TO ten years in the
Rellstab in the local branch of the
United States District Court.
There was overwhelming evidence
against Milanesi, who pleaded guilty
to an indictment of ten counts on the
above charges. This is the third time
he has been brought up on similar
charges. His counsel, Herbert e..
Davis, of Hoboken, tried to interpose
a plea for Milanesi, but he was so
hopelessly involved that Judge Rell-
stab overruled practically all that At
torney Davis offered.
United States Attorney ]. Warren
Davis appeared In behalf Of the
prosecution and submitted informa-
ton gathere by the United States in
ternal revenue agents, to the effect
that the defendant used plain wood
alcohol in the manufacture of his
beverages.
According to thte information ad-
vanced by Attorney Warren Davis,
Milanesi In some of his beverages
used as much as "a per cent. of alco-
hol, which produces blindness and In
some instances death.
Letters were read from Internal
Revenue Commissioner William Os-
borne and Revenue Agent John w.
Sinsel, telling of Milanesfs past
activities and record. Commissioners
Osborne declared tina cordials con-
N4 n
been traced to Milanesi. The COM
missioner characterized his opera
tions as revolving and heinous in
the extreme" and asked for as heavy
a sentnce as possible.
mo sentence you can give him
under the internal revenue statues
will be too heavy for Milanesi," was
tn way Commissioner Osborne ended
his letr.
On previous occasion when Milanesi
had been arrested he was punished
under the pure food law and escaped
punishment through the internal rev.
enue department because of a techni-
cality. His last term WAS for seven
months.
Revenue Agent George Strauss ex-
planned to Judge Rellstab that the
beverage Milanesi made were used
mostly by the Italians.
HE had the game down to q per-
fection," said the agent. He was
conducting a wholesale liquor busi-
ness and rectifying business, and
never paid a tax. He used imported
bottles for his counterfeit cordials
and bitters, and made his labels re-
semble as much as he dared the
names on the genuine imported arti-
cle.'
While Milanesi stood before Judge
Rellstab for sentence his little child,
three years old, cried out pitifully for
her papa" The child was In the
court room with Milanesi's wife.
In pleading for his client Attorney
Herbert Davis said that the man had
wife and child and If given chance
to get out of prison early would thus
tie and make good"
He's had his chance already" said
Judge Rellstab. Some people get too
many chances"
He then announced that sentence
would be suspended on six of the
counts against Milanesi, and the
maximum sentence be given him on
counts 2, 3, and 8. Counts and
3 we're for two years each. and and
for three years each, making total
of ten years.

County Officials to Test
Weights and Measures to
Protect HOusekeepers

To better protect the housekeepers
In the suburban towns of the county
from unscrupulous merchants, County
Sealer of Weights and Measures Ar
thur Harris and his staff of inspec-
tors will spend the next few days in
secretly testing weights and measures.
The housewives leagues of the diff
ferent municipalities have pledged
their support in running the cheaters
to earth.
1t is Mr.. Harris's plan to have
women make purchases of various
commodities AMI then bling them to his
inspectors, who will measure or weigh
the articles.
The purchased goods, after serving
their purpose, will be sent to charit-
able organizations, such as the Home
for the F'riendless.
Doubtless there will be plenty of
poultry in the lot, for Mr.. Harris
thinks the large sales of turkey and
chicken at this season will tempt
many dealers to scimp on the weight.

TWO DIE IN FIRE.;
BLAME M|L|TANTS
Police See Revenge for Mrs.
Pankhurst's Arrest on
Her Arrival.

PORTSMOUTH. England, Dc. a.
Fire, which cost two lives and did
81, 100000 damage since Saturday
night, is still smouldering in the
great dockyards here. If, as 1t Is
believed, the blaze was started by
militant suffragettes, it is the first
time they have taken life.
Although there Is no evidence at
the fire to connect 1t with suffra-
gettes, when their headquarters in
London were raided papers showing
a plot to fire the dockyard were dis
covered.
The fire is popularity credited to
their desire to avenge the arrest of
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, leader,
when she returned from America.
Evidence that two signalmen in the
famous Semaphore Tower were
burned to death was found today In
the smoldering ruins. One signal
man escaped to the roof of an adj
joining building, fell unconscious in
the smoke and flame and was saved.
The Senaphore Tower, which sig
nailed the farewell message to Lord
Nelson, was completely destroyed, as
We're many priceless relics of the old
navy and many models of famous
ships.
The new battleship, Queen Mary,
was endangered by falling sparks
| which rained on her decks until she
was towed out of the danger zone.

.USURY IS ALLEGED
BY Church CLUB
New Church Organization
Scores Railroads Attitude
on Crossing.

Young men of the class of the re-
ligion of statecraft In the New
Church, Essex avenue, Orange, yes
terday used some pretty strong terms
in discussing the problem of the elm
nation OF grade crossings, now at
critical point in the dealings between
the Lackawanna railroad and the
railroad committee of the Orange
Common Council.
One speaker raised the question Of
usury in his description of alleged re-
turns upon the company's financial
investment. The enormous dividends
realized by stockholders, which mount
UP to large sums each year. 1t was de-
clared, approached usury when the
legitimate use of surplus moneys
earned by the road was considered.
Orange has been asked to pay $4,000
for the railroad changes in addition
to the Fielder law assessments of
about $4,000.
1.-THE general tendency toward usury
is deplored as an element with which
the Holy Scriptures have no patience
whatever" said young man, accord
ing to the official report of the meet
ing made public today. The following
summary of the discussion was also
given the newspapers:
"That business should not be so built
that enormous profits should be di-
verified toward a comparatively small
class, which does little toward the
active service of the road, while the
compensation of labor and the pro-
lection of property and of the pub
lie suffer In general the sense OF
the meeting was that public senti-
ment should be trained to see that
the protection ofathe public and due
and. proper wages and pensions should
first be looked after and dividends be
given secondary place in the ulti-
mate effort of business of any kind
Until public sentiment is thus
changed the present irreligious, be-
cause immoral aspect of the mat
ter will be carried forward to the
detriment of the public. The applica-
ton of this Is that the Lackawanna
road must pay the cost of the present
improvements called for by elirnina-
ton of the crossings through the Or
anges by cutting off dividends at the
other end and applying the funds sc
secured to the elimination of cross
ings.
ITO this a second point was added
namely, that If any help is rendered
for instance through Orange, 1t must
be rendered by the Public Service
Corporation for the beneficial results
obtained by 1t through the work to
be done at Cone street crossing and
at Main street crossing at East Or
ange, and at Washington street In
Orange at the Erie crossing"
