DECLARES PRINCETON IS
CESSPOOL OF DEGRADATION

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July s.
The address of President Edward t.
Fairchild, who recommended radical
and the report of the
committee on health problems, which
charged that more attention was
given to cattle than children, attract
ed more than usual interest in the
National Education Associations ses-
sions here.
DR.. r. w. Corwin, of the University
of Colorado, declared "a cesspool of
degradation exists under the shade
trees at Princeton, and similar condi-
tons exist in other States. If for the
next hundred years our schools would
discontinue all higher and aesthetic
education and devote all their cher
gies to improving the human stock,
at the end of the century we would
find the people not only 100 years
older, but 200 per cent. better, strong
er, wiser"

SCALPEL RE-OPENS MIND
OF MYSTERIOUS 81. c. R. "

ROCHESTER,. Mimi, July s.-That
u. c. r." the man of mystery. has
been reborn through the magic of
surgery. is the belief of the physi-
clans at the State Hospital for the
Insane. He was strong enough today
for the doctors to make more elabor-
ate tests as to his mental regenera-
ton brought about by the surgeons
knife.
From what has already been OBJ
served, it is thought that his mind
Is now like that of a newborn in
FAINT. If that proves true, the man
of mystery, despite his 46 years, will
be taught to speak. word by word,
like child. 1t is admittedly doubt
full that he will ever be able to re-
mmeber whether he is Lieutenant
Jacob c. Rostrom, U. S. N, or not.
Even If he should become normal
mentally. the mystery Of what it was
happened to him in June, 1907. will
never be solved.

ORANGE IN DOUBT
ON |MHOFF PLANT
Council Has Animated, hide.
cisive Debate on Sewer
Disposal Problem.

Although Montclair and East Or
ange have agreed to join In building
an Imhoff sewage disposal plant in
the Soho section of Belleville, Orange
is still in doubt.
The question was brought up in all
three towns last night and in none
did the proposal escape being roundly
scored.
The Montclair Town Council passed
on first reading and placed on the
calendar for second reading on
August a resolution in favor of the
plan introduced by Councilman David
Henry.
Theodore j. Badgley. a Montclair
lawyer, spoke against it. He warned
the Council that hostility between
Montclair and Belleville would be
bound to follow an attempt to foist
so Objectionable plant upon the lat
ter.
IF it is to be built on any part OF
Montclair property" he continued, 1T
would be decided menace to health.
The Montclair Council has never
contemplated erecting plant within
the limits of its own town, and 1t mas
already gained the hostility of Belle
vile, Bloomfield and Nutley. SO his
objections were passed over.
In Orange the Council had stiff
fight over the proposition. Council
man Henry T. Stetson wanted i'm
mediate action. although he admitted
that his committee had no assurances
as vet of the terms Orange would get.
At this President Fineran remarked
that he had understood the city was
to obtain splendid terms and that that
was the real reason for preferring the
independent scheme over the Passaic
Valley trunk sewer.
Councilman p. Allen Smith sug-
gested that unfavorable reports of the
working of. the Imhoff plan in
Batavia. N. Y, justified further de-
lay.
Mr.. Stetson asked to have the
.esolution referred to the special
sewer advisory committee of citizens,
so that the matter could be threshed
out by them and explained to the
council.
'why, it's perfectly plain to me,
without having someone else explain
IT." retorted Mr.. Smith.
But even then Mr.. Stetson did not
succeed In getting the council to
pass his resolution, the purport of
which was that the city clerk
should be notified to make public
the, willingness of the city to
join with Montclair or East Orange
and that a public hearing should be
held on August 4.
The resolution was first amended
to call for hearing on September
"a and. in its amended FORM it was
tabled.
In East Orange, Mayor Gregory
opposed the action of the special
sewer and advisory committee of the
council in voting to recommend to the
entire council that the city join in
the Imhoff scheme.
The mayor advocated that the COM
mittee advise the employment of ex-
perts to ascertain if 1t would not be
better for East Orange to erect
separate plant He said that he was
now convinced that East Orange
could never join in the Passaic trunk
sewer.

STATE MINE TAX
JUMPS COAL PRICE
Dime a Ton Is Local Assess.
ment by Dealers on
Consumers.

And now the price of all sizes OF
coal is to be advanced ten cents
ton. Announcement to this effect was
made today by a number of wholesale
and retail dealers. and the reason
assigned is the two-and-a-half per
cent. tax levied by the State of Penn
sylvania on the output of all the
mines in that State. The tax is placed
on the marketable price of the coal
at the mines and is now in effect.
A sum sufficient to cover the tax is
added to all bills at the mines. The
wholesaler adds the increase on his
bill to the retailer and the retailer,
of course. complaining of the narrow
margin of profit, will tack the adj
ditional cost on the price to the con-
sumer. According to reports of retail
ers, ten cents ton will be added to
every size regardless of the tax levied
by law.
This law was passed by Pennsyl-
vania, for the purpose of raising
large amount of money to be spent
for improved roads in the State.
The total amount which the stats
will receive from this tax. according
to the estimated total tonnage of all
coal mined IN Pennsylvania. will be
100000 for year. Assuming that
Pennsylvania consumes even as low
as ten per cent. of its own coal pro-
duction on this basis an additional
tax of 100000 will be imposed upon
the coal consumers.
The mining companies will be as
sessed this tax on the market value
of coal at the mines and it is esti-
mated that the Readings contribution
alone will be $4,000 for year.

IN COASTER CRASH

Ride-ReIeased Under
$4,000 Bail.

FORT LEE, N. j., July 8.--Criminal
responsibility for the fatal coaster
crash In the Palisades Amusement
Park Sunday night, in which two
were killed. three more MORALLY in
jured and a score seriously hurt, was
placed by the county ocials here
upon Michael Pirado, the switchman.
1t was Pirado's duty to prevent cars
from approaching the sixty-foot dip
or drop while a car ahead was still
in the block.
Pirado's arrest was ordered by
County Prosecutor Wendell j. Wright,
of Hackensack, after an all-day in
spection of the coaster and its safety
devices. Pirado is held for the Grand
Jury under $1,000 bail to await the
inquest of Coroner Robertson, of
Tenafiy.
Mr.. Wright said last night that
Pirado gave clear signar' to Frank
lie Clair, motorman of the car which
crashed into the one stalled at the
foot of the next dip, when he should
have held LIE Clair's car. ME-. Wright
said Pirado made the remark to lie
Clair; 81 guess the signal is out of
order" and then threw power in the
third rail and motioned to LIE Clair
to proceed, lie Clair was killed.
at is true that / pulled the lever
that gave LIE Clair the right of way"
said Pirado. but LIE Clair told me
to open the box and pull 1t. The
block signals often get out of order,
and so I was justified in concluding
the car ahead was out of the block"
Pirado was released in $1,000 ball
today.
OF the thirty-three injured, eleven
persons are still in the North Hud-
son Hospital, while the remainder
are at their homes. Some of those
who were slightly injured were taken
to their homes in automobiles early
after the accident, but their identity
is unknown. All of the injured are
doing nicely and are expected to
recover.
The park management, in state
ment, declare that they are at a
loss to understand the cause of the
accident They claim there Is a
system of block signals which. il
operated properly. should have mott
fed the motorman of the second
car that there was a train stalled
just ahead of him.
Several eyewitnesses of the accident
say that it was due to the fuse on
the first train blowing out, causing
the train to be without power. The
management, however, denied this
They declare that If this theory was
true there was no reason why the
safety devices should not have pre-
vented the accident.
