WOMAN SLASHES
DRUGGIST AFTER
THEIR ARREST
She Said That He Gave Her
Love Powders"--Husband
Objected.

While in his drug store at III
Eighth avenue this morning, Annibale
Berardinelli, who lives at % Eighth

by a woman who rushed into his

nue..
The woman afterWard gave herself
up to the county prosecutor and was

with being unduly intimate. After a

Second Precinct Court. There was

To END SESSION
THURSDAY NIGHT
House Will Follow Senate's
Lead and Adjourn on
April 2.
Especial to the Evening star.J

TRENTON, March 30.-In COmplI
ance with the expressed wish Of Gov
ernor Fielder that the Legislature
conclude its business by April 2, plans
are being arranged SO that an ad-
journment can be taken by that time.
The Senate has already decided to
adjourn on that date and it is be-
lieved that the Assembly will pass a
similar resolution this week.
With the exception of the appro-
priations bill, it is believed that the
business of the House can be cleared
away this week. The plans for ad-
journment include the assembly Of
the members on either Wednesday or
Thursday OF next week for the pur-
pose of passing that bill.
All talk of a special session has
been dropped for the present. 1t is
now admitted that there VIII be no
special session unless the bank tax
bill fails to pass. The bills for the
abandonment of the Morris Canal
have been sidetracked for this ses-
sion. In the event of anything hap
pening TO prevent the passage of the
bank tax bill this week an extra ses-
sion may be"ordered. this not having
been denied by the Governor and be-
ing taken into the considerations of
Speaker Beekman and Majority
Leader Branegan.
The crush of bills before the House
for action means that many Of them
will have to be railroaded through If
the plan to adjourn Thursday night is
adhered to. The present rate of pass
ing bills is about five an hour, and
the calendar Is so full that far greater
speed will have to be attained in order
to dispose Of those on the calendar
for third reading and final passage
When the members begin to realize
that many of their bills are doomed
there will be some excitement.
Prospects of lively week, begin
ming promptly with the convening of
the House this evening, are not
lacking. The happenings of the past
few days have wrought the members
to a high pitch and some confusion
may result from the Assemblymen
with favorite bills asserting them
selves. Interest in the contest over
the bank tax bill win probably result
in full galleries tomorrow night.

COAL PRICES WILL
Jump 25 CENTS A
TON, SAyDEALERS
Rise Predicted When Summer
Scale Goes Into Effect
on Wednesday.
ASSERT EGG AND STOVE
WILL COST $500 BY FALL
Increase Laid to Pennsylvania
Mining Tax and Higher
Wages of Bargemen.

Newark coal dealers have am
snounced that the summer prices of
oSel which go into effect Wednes-
day.%yill be twenty live cents ton
hIsnerN than for the corresponding
period last year.
The prices for April and May will
be $6.25 for egg and stove coal. $3.50
Tor chestnut and 50 for No. nut The
prices of egg and stove coal will ad-
vance to $3.50 in September. The
summer scale of 1918 started at $6.25,
and in September the price was 1915.
Today's announcement will not be
received with any feeling of pleasure.
II is the second time in the last two
years the price of coal has risen
twenty y-five cents ton. In 1872 there
was q twenty-five-cent rise in the
price of chestnut coal. which was ex-
planned by the fact that the settle
fnent OF the miners wage contro-
versy had cost the operators so much
money. Then last year along came
another jump of twenty-five cents a
ton on egg and stove sizes.
The Pennsylvania mining tax and
the advance in wages of coal barge
men are given as the causes for the
present increase.
The Pennsylvania State mining tax
is 2ts per cent. of the cost of min
ing each ton. Cost of mining aver
ages less than 81 ton on the domes-
tic sjzes--which are the costliest, be-
cause of breaking and sorting-and
this would amount to five cents
ton. The mine agents are assessing
each ton ten cents, by the simple eX-
penditure of figuring the tax on the
terminal tidewater cost, instead of on
the cost at the mines.
Extra wages granted to the barge
men averaged not over cent ton,
IT is estimated.

IN Z MINUTES

Agree on Men to Try Hotel
keeper for Second Time.

1t took Just twelve minutes TO OBJ
tain a jury for the second trial of
George Il. Mausert, former proprietor
of the Hotel Broad, on a charge Of
maintaining a disorderly house. The
trial began at 1926 O'Clock today, in
Quarter Sessions Court, before Judge
Harry V. Osborne, and at 1887 o'clock
twelve men had been selected from
the struck panel of thirty-siX persons
named by Judge Osborne to sit as
jurors in the case.
Prosecutor Louis Hood, who is con-
Quoting the trial in person, did not
challenge a single juror. Former
Judge Wilbur A. Helsley. who has
succeeded Frank L. Bradner as coun-
sci for Mausert. challenged only three
men.
Before the jurors were sworn Pros
ecutor Hood asked the twelve men
this question: II would like to know
if you now know, or If In the course
of the trial YOU learn that the defend
ant belongs to fraternal organizations
of which you are member, If this
fact will in any way influence or
have any weight in your reaching a
Verdict?"
There was no response from any
of the iIrymen Then the prosecutor
announced that ne was satisfied with
the panel. The question was proba-
bly, prompted by the fact that Maui
sert was wearing in his coat lapel to-
day the button of secret organiza-
ton.
Former Judge Heisley also had a
general question to ask the jurymen
3
Have any of you seen in the public
prints the charges made against Mr..
Mausert, and if so have you formed
| any opinion as to his guilt or inno-
cence2"
When there was no response to this
question Mr.. Heisley said he was
satisfied with the jury. Az Prosecutor
Hood started to call witnesses to
prove Mausert was the former pro-
prietor of the Hotel Broad Mr.. Heis-
| ley halted him and said he would ad-
NIT Mr. Mausert had been the pro-
prietor AT the time of the raid on the
hotel on Sunday morning. April 26,
1918, and that the liquor license for
the place was in his name
Thomas L. Meyer, county detective,
was then called on as the first Wit
ness. He told of breaking open rooms
in the hotel on the night of the raid
and finding couples who admitted
they were not man and wife occupy
ing roms there.
