Port Business Sets New Record.

Charleston.-The closing Of the fs-
cal year with the United States GUS
tom house shows Charleston's port
business for the past II months to
have been the largest within a quar-
ter of a century. Both exports and
imports for the year just closed tower
above those for the previous year,
while the cash receipts for the past II
months show an increase Of over At
per cent. over those of the previous
year. Custom officials expressed
themselves as highly gratified at the
showing made and enthusiastic as to
prospects for next years business,
predicting that the port will do an ex
port business of SIS, 900, 900 during
the ensuing twelvemonth.
The fact that the cash receipts Of
the custom house for the year just
ended show an increase of over At
per cent. over those Of the previous
year is even more gratifying when it
is taken into consideration that for
the past year a lower tariff has been
in operation. Had the same tariff
prevailed, the increase is cash re-
ceipts would, of course, have been
much larger. The exports for the
fiscal year just ended amounted to
s2O,S29,591. The imports for the
same period amounted to $5,543,866,
both being increased over figures for
the year previous. Exports for the
year previous amounted to s13,511,-
757, this years increase amounting
to $7,S17,S34. The imports for the
year previous amounted to $4,77S,-
209, the increase in favor of this year
amounting to $770,657.

In the brief the leather men hold

rial labeled as such does not partake
of the nature or structure of leather
in any way. In this ground they
ask that manufacturers and dealers
be prohibited from designating their
goods as leather of any kind.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
WILL REORGAN|zE
BY AGREEMENT
To FOllow Lines Laid Down by
Telephone and Telegraph
Company.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--After a
two-hour conference today between
Acknowledgement McReynolds and
Chairman Howard Elliott. of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road, it was understood that the New
Haven will agree to reorganization
to restore competition in transporta-
ton throughout New England.
No official announcement was made,
but Mr.. Elliott will remain in Wash
ington for several days, and it was
believed may settle details of the
plan.
Mr.. Elliott and the attorney general
carefully considered the New England
situation with regard to reorganiza-
ton, and after their conference Mr.
Elliott conferred with T. w. Gregory
and Jesse Adkins, the special assist
ants, who have had charge of the
departments investigation.
As he left the attorney-generars s
Office Mr.. Elliott said he could make
no official announcement.
Things look encouraging" he said
II expect to be here several days and
possibly before I leave may have
something to tell you
A reorganization of the New Haven
would include some plan for its dis
posal of control over the Boston and
Maine Railroad; the cancellation of
its agreement with the New York
Central for the operation of the Bos-
ton and Albany, the giving up of it's
so-called sound steamship lines which
operate from New York to Bridgeport,
New Haven and New London, Provi-
dence and other New England cities;
the giving up of it's trolley lines and
its so-called outside steamship lines
which operate from New York to Bos
ton and from other southern ports to
Boston.
1t was presumed today, however,
that the agreement would follow the
lines laid down in the case of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. If that were followed no
court action would be necessary, but
the department of justice would re-
serve the right to file a dissolution suit
any time if it found the terms of the
agreement were not being carried out.
Attorney General McReynolds said
that he and Mr.. Elliott had discussed
the New England situation In general
and talked over some of the plans for
reorganization recently announced by
the New Haven. He did not care to
comment on what the outcome might
be or give his views on parts of re-
organization plan, preferring to wait
until the New Haven was ready to
meet the government at every step.
The encouragement has set no
time limit in which the New Haven
must come to the governments terms.
He was convinced, he said, that Mr..
Elliott was attempting to do what the
department wants.

JURY ACT WILL
Be PASSED AGAIN
Fielder Has Democratic Legis-
Iators Agree to Reintroduce
1t Without Referendum.

TRENTON, Jan. 6.--A chancellor
sheriff jury bill, minus the referen-
dunn appendage, it Is announced, will
be one of the first measures to be in
troduced at the coming legislative
session. 1t will have the sanction of
Governor James F. Fielder and the
approval Of Democratic legislative
leaders. 1t is intended to supplant the
present Fielder jury act and to rem
edy existing constitutional faults in
the chancellor sheriff jury measure,
Which although receiving majority
vote at the recent election, was found
to be impracticable of operation.
The Supreme Court has, through
Justice Swayze, decided that the ref
erendum feature makes the act un-
constitutional and a final decision Is
now due on the part of the Court of
Errors and Appeals. A decision by
that court is expected any day.
In anticipation of an unfavorable
decision by that court and the final
setting aside of the act the Legisla-
ture is planning to pass the chancellor
sheriff jury bill all over again, but
without the referendum clause. The
new bill will also be an improvement
on the original bill in one or two de-
tails, the original bill, aside from its
alleged unconstitutional feature, hav-
ing been found unworkable at the
start, owing to some minor defects.
Democrats claim that as the people
of New Jersey expressed themselves
In favor of this kind of legislation
through the referendum, 1t is now up
to the incoming Legislature to give
the people what they want, that Is q
ohancellor-sheriff act without any OF
the Objectionable features that pro
duced a mix-up and litigation at the
Governor Fielder is strongly
in favor of the enactment of the
act.
In case the Court of Errors and
Appeals should before this new bill
is passed hand down a decision de-
claring the act constitutional, then
the remedial bill may not be passed,
because it may not be necessary. AT
the same time, some believe that
even if the referendum feature is
declared by the court of last resort
to be valid, it would be wise to per-
feet the chancellor act in minor de-
tails.
Indications, therefore, are that
New Jersey, when the April term OF
court opens, will be under a new
jury reform act. and that the grand
Jurors and petit Jurors. instead of
being named and selected under the
Fielder act, which is now in force,
will be selected by lot under the
chancellor act. Under thaN law,
Chancellor Walker will appoint
jury commissioner for each of the
twenty-one counties of the State. In
each county this jury commissioner
will, in conjunction with the sheriff.
of that county, prepare the lists of
those eligible for grand and petit
jury duty, and from these lists the
jurors will be selected in open court
by lot.
The jury commissioner in each
county must be a man not of the
same political faith as the sheriff
Under the Fielder act the lists arc
prepared by the shiriffs. but under
vhe supervision OF the Supreme Court
jlstice.
