SAYS 7. R. FAVORS
OSBORNE PLAN
Amos Pinchot Declares Roose.
welt Has Approved Majority
Vote on Tax Law.

! ELIZABETH, Sept. pa crowd of
fifteen hundred Progressives in the
Hippodrome heard Amos Pinchot say
last night that Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt is in favor of Edmund B.
Osborne's plan of giving every
municipality the power to change its
tax laws by majority vote. Pinchot
, and Osborne were the principal
speakers at the rally
Pinchot declared that Theodore
Douglas Robinson in opposing Os-
borne and his tax plan is in opposi-
ton to the platform of the New York
Progressive party, of which Robinson
is a member, and which was APP
proved by his uncle. Colonel Roose-
welt
Mr.. Pinchot said in part:
IT have heard Mr. Colby debate,
and l have read his speeches. and I'm
still all up in the air as TO where Mr..
Colby stands. For instance, he says
he's for popular government, for the
initiative and referendum to a GER
tain extent and for home rule.
I'VE asked him if he is willing to
ton, and he says no. But Mr.. Os-
borne's tax proposition is solely and
simply to let the people of each and
every community decide for them
selves, instead of having the Legis-
lature at Trenton decide for them,
how much taxes they want to levy
on land and how much on improve
ments.
ut is merely home rule in taxation.
1t is merely popular government as
applied to taxation. 1t is but the ap-
plication of the principle that the
people of a city should be allowed
to govern themselves as to taxes in
their city. 1t is the principle of the
initiative and the referendum brought
down to taXation-that is to say, the
people themselves will initiate and
decide upon their own tax policy, and
then if they want to they will change
1t to suit themselves.
How Mr.. Colby can claim that he
is in favor of popular government,
the initiative and the referendum,
and home rule. and deny that the
cities of New Jersey should have the
power to raise their taxes as they
see fit. | cannot understand and he
is unable to explain.
Mr.. Colby and his aide Theodore
Douglas Robinson. who is campaign
ing with him. denounce the Osborne
tax plan df they are reported cor
rectly in the paDers) as visionary
and outlandish. And yet. this Os-
borne tax plan is exactly what the
platform committee of the Progress
sive party of New York city (where
Mr.. Robinson lives) wrote into the
Progressive municipal platform a
couple of months ago. I was men,
Der of the committee, and this plat
form. by the way. was approved by
every Progressive leader of import
ance. including Colonel Roosevelt"
Mr.. Osborne, in what is prob
ably the last speech to be de-
livered indoors in the primary cam
paign, said that the platform of as
pirations written by the National
Progressive party last year, with it's
minimum wage and child labor laws,
would not stop the evils of today and
would not abolish privilege. He de-
clared that it is essential to go to
the root of privilege if it is to be
abolished.

COURT TO AUCTION
LIQUOR LICENSES
Under New Law Camden Judge
Will Knock Them Down to
Highest Bidders.

CAMDEN, Sept 20-For the first
time in this country liquor licenses
will be sold at auction in the Cam
auctioneer The privilege of selling
rum viii be knocked down to the
highest bidder.
All the advantages of a particular
locality will be set forth by the court
crier. upon whom will develop the
duty of learning the prospects for
business, so as to depict in as glow
ing terms as possible the quantity OF
rum likely TO be disposed of.
Licenses for places with good
.grOwler" trade are expected to bring
fair prices, while for along the White
Horse pike and other thoroughfares
to seashore points bids will probably
run very high.
Under an act passed by the last
Legislature, when a new saloon Is
deemed a necessity and a license is
applied for, the court is obliged to
put such license up at auction and
sell to the highest bidder The money
goes to the county.
No bids will be received from
women, as Judge Boyle has an
nounced that he is opposed on gen
eral principles to women conducting
saloons unless they are inherited
from their husbands.
The court has discretionary powers
as to the fitness of any applicant to
conduct saloon, and may also fix
minimum price for given license.
Spectators will be barred, for the
court will not grant any transfers the
first year unless good reason is
given. Neither will licenses be sold
I TO brewers. The terms will be cash
on the day the license is granted. II
is likely the judge will name one or
two auction days every term of court.
/ SO that a bidder who fails to obtain
license in one locality may have an
| opportunity to get one elsewhere.

.KATzENBACH NOW
AFTER RAILROADS
Tells Paterson Audience Pub
lie Should Be More Safe
ly Guarded.

PATERSON, Sept. 20.-Referring to
the many railroad accidents that nave
recently occurred causing great loss
Democratic candidate for the Guber-
material nomination, told the voters
of this city yesterday that he would be
in favor of a strict inspection of rail-
roads. Such supervising inspection
he said, should include not only the
question of whether the proper safety
devices were employed at all grade
crossings. but they should also ex-
tend to the condition of the roadbeds,
the signal system and the ROLLINS
stock.
The mistake, Mr. Katzenbach said,
had heretofore been that such inspec-
tions were only made in the wake of
disaster, thus overlooking entirely
the all-important question of pre-
vention.
Is for Arbitration.
Mr. Katzenbach also declared. him.
self in favor of educating the people
to the needs of arbitration measures
in strikes. Both sides suffered Sc
verely, the speaker said, by a strike,
but experience had taught that the
hardest sufferers were always those
who could afford it least.
Mr. Katzenbach arrived here in the
forenoon, coming from Sussex
County, which he had toured the day
before and where, upon being asked,
he said he found the outlook very
encouraging. During his stay he
made his headquarters at the Elks
beautiful home and business men and
officials in large numbers called to
insure Mr.. Katzenbach of their sup
port

In the afternoon Mr.. Katzenbach
made a tour through the county visit
ing Wayne Township, Pompton,
Bloomingdale, Pompton Plains,
Singao and Little Falls. From Bloom
ingdale the party took sprint into
Morris County, stopping short time
at Butler.
Mr.. Katzenbach expressed himself
as we'll satisfied with the reception
accorded him by this county, and he
felt that he was still well remem-
bered.
1t is his intention to campaign up
to the last minute, Mr.. Katzenbach
declared, and make a flying trip
through his home county. Today he
is speaking. among other places
at Princeton, where he studied In
the evening Mr.. Katzenbach will
speak at Hoboken and Union Hill
Next Monday the candidate will wind
up his campaign with tour through
Gloucester and Cumberland counties.

HUMAN BLOOD NOT
LEFT TO GUESSING
Or. John B. Murphy, of Chicago,
Tells of Crimes New
Scientific Foe.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The science of
deduction as accredited to detectives
may receive a setback as a result OF
a discovery in medical science just
made known by DIR. John B. Murphy,
the noted Chicago physician and
surgeon, on his return from the In
ternational Congress of Medicine in
London
1t is a process by which it may be
determined positively whether a
bloodstain is human or from one of
the lower animals.
The old way of determining
whether bloodstains were human was
by an examination of the stain under
a microscope" DIR. Murphy explained,
land 1t was more or less guesswork.
Analysis of the stain in the new way
would establish the fact beyond a
doubt by the precipitants in the
blood
Tn the case now of the chimpanzee,
the precipitants would come within
10 per cent. of the human, while in
the case of an ordinary monkey the
percentage would be much less
Discusses Cancer Problem.
In the opinion of DR.. Murphy, the
most important matter before the
congress had to do with the cancer
problem. "Or, rather, L will say it
was r.rhaps the most important.
THE problem was discussed by an
italian, German and a Frenchman,'
he said. Let 1t be understood that 1t

cancer of mice, and has nothing to do
with the cancer of humanS-as yet, at
any rate, except by analogy
chotut1 that pqnC0r in the
Japanese Waiting mouse is capable
of transplanting in others of the same
breed in nearly. 100 per cent. of the
cases used in experiments. In the
case of the Jensen mouse it was
shown that the cancer could be trans
planted in about So per cent.
Result of Cross-Breeding.
Then they crossbred the japanese
and Jensen mice, and they could not
infect single one of the resulting
mice with the disease.
That" asserted the doctor, vigor-
ously, sis the first instance of cancer
immunity as result of cross breed
ing, or, for that matter, as a result of
in connection with the solution of
the cancer problem of humans
DIR. Murphy spoke enthusiastically
of the discussions of diseases result
ing from vice, and of the wide promi-
nence given the discussions by the
English press.
AS result of this phase of the con-
gress Sir Malcolm Morris at final
dinner to the members stated, accord
