present members of the Morris Canal
and investigation committee with the
members of the Highway. Commission
ex-offieo members of said commits
sion.
THAT said commission shall be
called the Parkway Boulevard AND
Canal Commission of New Jersey and
have the powers and authority sci
forth in the bill hereto attached.
"Your committee, in recommending
this commission and in suggesting
personnel of said commission, has
done so with considerable hesitancy-
but II has felt that the knowledge ae-
CURED by this committee in its inves-
tigation should not be lost and that,
in addition thereto. IL should have, by
reason of the boulevard plan, the as
sistance and advice of the Highway
Commission.
I'm conclusion, your committee
wishes to urge the Importance of dis
posing OF this canal question and ear
nestly trusts that the efforts and
labor OF this committee will result in
a final settlement of some satisfac-
tory nature of this great canal prob
len."
One of the three bills accompany
ing the report provides for the sur
render of the waterway to the State
by the Morris Canal and Banking
Company and the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, owner and lessee,
respectively; another provides for the
creation of the parkway Boulevard
and Canal Commission" while the
third enables municipalities which
would be affected by abandonment to
negotiate with the commission and
to issue bonds that may be found
necessary in the work.

Wireless Patents OF
MarcOni Upheld; Other
Companies Infringe

NEW YORK, March 19.-Every
wireless telegraph company is con-
cerned in a decision handed down
yesterday by Judge Veeder in the
United States District Court in Brook
Ign, fer by 1t every wireless company
is an infringer upon the Marconi pat
ents, and these m@g now be made
liable to the payment of millions in
royalties.
The decision IS the outcome of a
suit the Marcoui Company brought
against the National Electrical Sig
mailing Company, a Pittsburgh cor
poration. The suit was based upon a
patent granted to Marconl in 1897; to
one issued in 1898 to Sir Oliver Lodge
and TO a third taken out by Mareonl
in 1904. The court sustained the val
idfty of all three and held that the
patents are infringed. The 1904 pat
ent is the counterpart of the one that
was sustained IN Great Britain and
France by courts.

Fighting Disease Germs

There is popular idea that most
sickness is caused by germ of the
disease finding entrance to our bodies
through the food we eat, the water or
milk we drink or the air we breathe
This is true as far as 1t goes, but it is
also true that disease germs are enter
ing our bodies every day without caus-
ing disease.
The reason for this is that there are
forces within the body that are con-
stantly fighting these disease germs
and it is only when this defense is
weakened that the germs get the upper
hand and we become i'll. One of the
most powerful of these forces that
work for health is rich red blood.
Good, healthy blood increases the re-
sistance of the body to the diseases
that are always threatening. 1t Is
easier to keep up this resistance by
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, eating
proper food, avoiding articles of food
that do not agree with us and getting
plenty of fresh air day and night,
than it is to cure disease after 1t gets a
foothold. Keep up the resistance of
your body to disease by these tonic
pills, which you can get at any drug
store. and you will avoid much sick
ness.

Blood" and What to Eat and How
to Eat" will be sent free by the DR..

RETAIL HOUSES

[Continued From First Pagel

shall be allowed to borrow to continue
the business. At this meeting a COM
mittee of creditors may be selected to
cooperate with the receivers.
Causes for the failure as given by
Mr.. Clafiin appear to-day to coincide
with the views expressed by leading
dry goods merchants. jobbers and
commission men.
Depression in the trade conditions
of the city, due to specialization in
lines, and the growing tendency OF
manufacturers to sell direct to retail
ers injured the Clafiin Company, which
did general jobbing business These
conditions, Mr.. Claf1in explained,
caused his company to look for profits
through the ownership or control of
retail stores, resulting in extensive
financing. So extensive had this
financing become that 1t had reached
a point where maturities amounted to
about s6.000.000 each week. Recently
II is said, country banks began re-
stricting their purchase of Clafin and
other commercial paper and the com.
pany found difficulty in taking care OF
these maturities.
