the less effective they become.
A physc or purgative is seldom

MAY COMPROMISE
ON COLLECTOR
Sponsors for Known Candi-
dates Adhere to Selections,
but There Are Rumors.
IRON a star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Busy men
are they who are interested In the
various candidates for collector In
Newark. The sponsors for the known
candidates profess to be adhering to
their original selection, but there are
rumors and rumors of rumors of Il
compromise candidate, one whose
name has not been publicly mem
toned
Among the rumors IS that the com
promise man, II he has not the direct
Endorsement of Governor elect Fielder,
at least has his moral support. The
Governor-elect announced long ago
that he would take no part in any
job-hunting expeditions, and SO far
as the public is concerned he has held
to his word. The mere fact that the
compromise man is one whom he
esteemG personally and would be
pleased to see named may have not
a little weight with the White House.
Senator Hughes declares that there
is absolutely no change in his posi-
ton as sponsor of Charles V.
Duffy. Secretary Tumulty Is ap-
parently OF the opinion that
John ~ Matthews is still
very much in the running. Senator

question is Still in the air." pro-
fesses to be for Mr.. Diefenthaler.
The compromise man, while he is a
resident of Essex, has powerful
friends in North Jersey and would
indicate q desire on the part of the
administration here to show courtesy
to the gubernatorial administration
in New Jersey.

SPECIAL POLICEMEN
To Be EXAMINED
Men Holding Badges Must Show
Qualification to kearny
Council.

That men holding special police
badges in Kearny are to be summoned
before the police committee of the
Kearny Town Council in the near fu-
ture was stated last night by Coun-
Gilman William F. Davis. The coun-
Gilman has opposed the idea of nam
ing special policemen until the appli-
cants were able to show their quail
locations. Mr.. Davis, who is now head
of the police committee, cited in
stances where it had proven g. dan
gerous proposition to authorize a man
to carry q revolver. Chief OF police
Tolen has instructed the special po-
licemen to appear before the commit
tee for examination.
An application from the Fuller Land
Company for permission to operate q
moving picture show in a building
which the company proposes to erect

south OF Quincy avenue. was referred
to the license committee. The appli-
cants stated they viii erect build
ing worth $4,000 and declared 1t will
be an ornament to the locality.
The North Arlington Borough Coun-
ell, in a communication TO the coun-
ell, expressed its thanks for the SER
vices of the Kearny fire department

of Barnard & Eckhardt. In connec-
ton with the North Arlington blaze,
it was stated, Frederick Otto, who
loaned horses to one of the Kearny
fire companies, had lost an animal a
short time after the North Arlington
run. Otto has not, as yet, made any
claim on the council for reimburse
ment. 1t is expected he will do so.
The legal committee was instructed
to endeavor to have the Legislature
pass a bill authorizing the payment

NO FIGHT AGAINST
POUND NET-OWNERS

port that had nothing to 90 with
the New Jersey pound net men, and
the recent article showing conclus.
shrewd agents was trying to get con-
troll OF the clam industry. These
things have nothing to do with thu
pound net fisheries of New Jersey
and neither has the following story
that came to the Evening Star in an
accidental manner, but It has to dc
with the fish trust and will show con-
clusive.y the piratlcal manner in
which this great commodity has beer
handled for the personal gain of a
few men.
Some few years bacl, there was a
firm OF fish dealers in Centre Mor-
ket, who handled considerable fish
and who had buyers stationed at sew
eral important fisheries to buy the
necessary supply for the week or day.
but have since gone out of business
for some reason or other which is
not material for this story.
While searching over some old pa
pers pertaining to the business, the
vile of one of the owners found some
old bills, and thinking rightly that
they might be OF some use to the Star
representatives, sent them along. The
first item noticed was several bills
for soup or porsies and the price that
was paid for item at that me, as
shown on the bills, shocked the staff
men, who, knowing the price of the
same fish today, could hardly believe
their eyes.
Soup, by the barrel, which was
guaranteed to weigh 225 pounds. was
purchased for Sc a barrel. or tr'fe
over a penny a pound, and when the
fish was placed on the stand in this
city 1t retailed for five cents a pound
for the small fish ana six cents
pound for the large fish. Everybody
wanted porgies in those days and they
were usually purchased by the quar-
ter's worth. the consumer getting five
pounds for his money.
In the restaurants the porgies or
soup were sold at fifteen cents for a
portion OF two and they were well
known as Sunday morning dish
throughout the Eastern States. where
the greater amount of them We're con.
sumed. In the bills found were sew
eral showing that q restaurant keep
er on Market street, just below Null
berry street, had ordered a barrel of
porgies from the dealer in Centre
Market, who had one shipped dire t
from the fishermen at Newport and
the local dealers profit was a penny
a pound, out of which he paid the
freight
Two hundred and twenty-five
pounds Of fresh soup or porgies for
SO appeared on the first dozen bills
examined and then a statement was
found in which q special lot were
purchased for 81 a barrel, as the fish
erInen did not want to carry them
over as the cost of ice would be too
great. 1t seems imposs BILE to believe
that porgles We're delivered in this
city for less than a cent pound and
all because the fishermen did not
want to spend a dollar for ice.
What an example is set for the peo-
pie to think over. Those bills hidden
away in q box have told story that
ircriminates the people who have cor
nered this food, and 1t made an in
teresting study for the staff of this
paper while tracing the reason for the

tity that the combination would taxa
and for the first time In the HISTORY
OF the New England fisheries the net
men We're compelled to throw their
so-called surplus catch into the sea
dead.
The blood in the old New England
stock rebelled at first. but II soo,,
became clogged with the money feve,.
and the practise has never abated
and what is the result, the people
have to pay at least eighteen cents
pound for fresh porgies when they
are pcrgies and twenty cents a pound
when they are soup. Seventy-flye per
cent. increase in the price of this one
fish alone and for no other reason
than that the greed of q few men
strangled one of the best industries
of New England.
The middleman or trust agent de-
nands and receives ten cents a pound
as his share for the mere use of his
name and nothing more. II it WASH I
too bold he would have the shipper
ship the fish direct to the retail dealer
and then have the latter send the
amount of the bill direct to him. but
that would never do. Better have an
excuse for exacting the ten cents and
therefore the reason for having all
the soup or porgies shipped to New
York after which 1t is reshipped to
The retailer with the profits of the
fish trust annexed.
Those bills tell many other inter
esting stories, but this one was chosen
as an example just to show that the
fish trust plays no favorites and also
to show the effect their grip has on
the industries of those States where
the Maker has decreed the fish shall
be caught.

WORKING
HARD TO PREVENT
NEW BALKAN WAR
Clash Between Greece and AL.
bahia Said to Be Nearer
Than Supposed.

BERNE, Switzerland, Jan. 15.-The
situation in Albania is even more
grave than Is generally known or Of
ficially acknowledged by the European
powers, according to authoritative in
formation gathered in diplomatic cir
cles today. The various governments
are directing all their efforts in order
to prevent a fresh outburst OF war in
the Balkans.
The tension is considered to be
greater at tne present moment than
at any time preceding or during the
recent Balkan wars, and is said to
have reached such 4 point that Ger
many has proposed Joint Austrian
and italian military Intervention in
Albania.
Germany has suggested the dis
patching OF O mixed army OF Aus
trian and italian troops into Albania
in order to avoid the difficulty of de-
Gliding which part Of the Albanian
territory should be occupied by Aus
tria and which by Italy.
The suggested Intervention is the
reason why Italy and Austria have
recently concentrated their warships
along the Albanian Coast. Both ma
tons. however. hesitate to follow
German advice rs they fear further
They are also restrained by anxiety
as to what might happen in their re-
spective countries. where a costly eX-
petition into Albania would be I'M
popular. as it would bring little or
no return to either OF them.
The European governments have
secured proof that the Mussulmans
in both Constantinople and Albania
prepared risings in favor Of placing
IZzet Pasha, formerly Turkish Min
lister of War. on the throne Of AL
bania. This object was frustrated by
the arrest on January s Of six Turk
ish officers and 200 soldiers when they
arrived at Avlona. the Albania sea-
port. from Constantinople.
Evidence also has been obtained by
the powers that the Mussulman's are
determined to use Albania as cen
ire of disturbances which will radiate
from there to other parts Of the Balk-
ans, and especially to Greece. against
which Turkeys resentment is partic-
ularly directed.

RATE IS RAISED
On POLICY LOANS
Of MUTUAL LIFE
New York Company Makes BOr'
rowers Pay Six Per Cent.
on Loans.

Z NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Interest
rates on policy loans, it was learned
: today. have been increased by the
Mutual Life Insurance Company from
5 10 6 per cent. Loans advanced on
Rew policies and loan renewals or ex-
tensions made on older policies are
! being charged at the higher rate.
Inquiry at the offices Of the Equit-
{ able Life Assurance Society and the
: New York Life Insurance Company
/. disclosed that neither of these COM
: eanies conteInplates a similar adj
! vance in interest charges on policy
loans as yet. However, for almost a
) year, as in the case Of the Mutual
Life, each has been issuing policies
!. which contain a contract clause al
towing the charge of per cent.
rate on policy loans, and 1t Is held
pot improbable that advantage may
be taken OF this clause to follow the
Mutual's lead within few months.
1T Is true that the Mutual now is
charging 8 per cent. on policy loans,
said an official of that company to-
! day. Loans made on new policies
ISSUED since last February have car
: sied per cent. interest, the policies
containing a clause allowing that
rate. We began making loans Oh poll
ties as early as 1899. Such loans were
intended merely as a convenience TO
policyholders and bore interest at .
per cent.
But the loans Of that class have
increased greatly since the insurance
laws were revised in 1907. However,
we made loans on many policies is
sued years ago, and in such cases
where renewals or extensions are
sought the interest rate is made 6
per cent. You understand that we
were not required to make any such
loans at all on these policies, but
we did make them as a convenience
10 holders.
Just about q year ago the loan
clause in policies issued by practical
~ all the large companies was altered
so as to permit of an interest rate Of
: per cent, which would be the rate
the loan beneficiary would have to
pay II he applied TO any bank or SINH
lar institution. New policies have
been made the basis Of loans at that
rate Now, in the way Of equalization,
Ii has been decided that renewals Of
extensions of loans on old policies,
which did not specifically stipulate 8
tper cent, shall be made at 8 per cent.
ElBO. 2A6 dCllNc OlliCldl5 VI lIlb COilA-
pany, we merely are carrying out the
orders of the directors in that re-
gard
One of the most experienced life
insurance experts in New York said,
sn discussing the problem OF policy
loans:
"Well, my company still sticks 20
the per cent. rate, but 1 believe
change to per cent. Is not unlikely,
as the new forms Of policy contract
permit II. This question of loans on
policies has developed into serious
problem for the big life insurance
companies. Why, you pick up the
last report of the New York Life, for
instance, and you will find that out
of assets OF around $1S2000,000 policy
loans constitute one-sixth Of that
amount. Now, assets OF life insur-
snce companies are not fluid, and the
constant extension of policy loans Is
factor to be reckoned with"
