Evaporation Excuse Put
Forth in Short Weight Trial

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-Taking
of testimony in the trial of eight Of
ficerS and employees of the Western
Fuel Company charged with conspir-
ing to defraud the government out
of custom duties by false weighing
of imported coal began today in the
United States District Court before
Judge NJ j. Doolin.
After M. T. Sullivan, special prose-
cutor for the government, has out
lined his case, the books of the fuel
company will be introduced, and with
the assistance of David r. Norcross,
secretary of the concern, founda-
ton will be laid for the further in
PRODUCTION of evidence. The Western
Fuel Company's line of defense, 1t
is understood. will be not only the i'm
parchment of the governments wit
nesses but the assertion that the al
legged short weights found in ship
ments were due to the evaporation
of water-soaked coal.

Blames Barber Shops for
Many Cases of Blindness

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.--The New
York committee on the prevention of
blindness sounds an alarm today by
the report that more than half of the
cases of eye weakness among men of
this city may be traced to the barber
shops. 1t is alleged that bay rum
and other face lotions used in some
shops contain wood alcohol and that
the inhalation of the fumes or drops
of the liquid in the eyes cause seri-
Gus trouble. There is already law
prohibiting the use of such lotions,
but the committee on blindness has
found 1t to be rarely enforced. The
aid of the inspectors of the health
department has been summoned in
the crusade to be waged for enforce
ment of the laws.
Several BARRIERS and PROJECTORS of
barber supply concerns were sum
moned for arraignment on such
charges in the Court of Special Ses-
sions today following two convictions
for similar offenses obtained last
week.

Socialist Party Shows
Gain Of Over a Thousand
Votes in Past Election

The Socialist party gained more
than thousand members at the last
election, according to an official state
ment issued last night at the meeting
of the members of the State commit
tee in the Labor Lyceum, The com
mittee members appeared to be highly
elated over the increase in the ranks
Of the party, and discussed plans for
placing candidates in every congress
sional district next fall.
The poll tax law was attacked at
the meeting, Several Of those present
declared it was unconstitutional and
others that 1t was an injustice, be-
cause it imposed tax on every man,
whether he voted or not, Henry Car
less, counsel for the party, was in
structed to make an investigation into
the constitutionality of the law.

Church OBSERVES
ITS ANNIVERSARY
Park Presbyterian congrega-
ton and Friends Hold An
niversary Service.

Inc slXty-fifth anniversary OF the
rounding of the Park Presbyterian
Cnurch, at Belleville avenue and
hearny street, was celebrated yes
terday by members of the congrega-
ton and Presbyterians from all
parts of the city. The growth Of the
ehurch was best described by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. John Mcdowell, in
comparing the present handsome
edlflce to the dingy Old Library
Hall, in Market street, where the
church was founded.
The pastor spoke on "A Goodly
heritage" at the morning service,
ana IN his sermon was loud in
praises of the. men and women who
mao started such a good work and
nao given the present members such
a substantial institution upon which
10 work. A special musical program
was rendered by the choir at the
evening service, and the new
nymnals, donated by the young
women of the church, were dis
trlbuted to the members.
When the church organization was
started in Library Hall 1t was known
as the Fifth Presbyterian Church. In
1850 the congregation moved from
AAeFl hACt ptl6SJ W w C6b
Park street, and until 1872 occupied
the structure now owned by the New
Jersey Historical Society. The name
was changed to the Park Presbyter-
ian Church.
At this time the church had a
membership of about 200 persons and
many started to move to the Wood
side section. In 1872 chapel was
erected on Kearny avenue and two
years later church edifice was built
on Belleville avenue. The congrega-
ton grew rapidly and in 1888 the
church was enlarged considerably.
1t now has a seating capacity for
900 persons. During the existence of
the church 1854 persons have united
with the congregation and Of this
number more than 500 have joined
since Rev. DR.. Mcdowell became its
pastor. Rev. Dr. Mcdowell has been
the pastor of the church since 1906,
During the sixty-f1ve years the
church has spent more than 100000
In church and mission work. In 1886
a branch, known as the Park Chapel,
was started in Parker street. Later
1t was moved to Highland avenue,
where 1t is now progressing rapidly.
