EXPRESS RATES TO
Be CUT NEXT WEEK
Public Utility Board Approves
New Schedule for lntra-
state Shipping.
IspeeiaI to tI,e Newark star.l

TRENTON, Jan. 31-The Board of
Public Utility Commissioners today
voted that the express companies rep
resented at the hearing held on Janu-
airy 26 at Newark be notified that
they may file with the board the new
schedules of express rates and the
new classification and rules which
will be applicable to interstate ex-
press traffic on and after February l.
The action of the board in this re-
spect is conditioned upon the COM
panies conforming to the terms con-
tanned in the stipulation submitted by
the companies in their petition, and
shall not exclude the boards right
to exercise it's power to initiate or
entertain complaints that may chal-
lenge any of these specific rates or
the basis of the new schedules.
The express companies represented
at the hearing were the United States,
Adams, Wells Fargo and the Nation
al. The Wells Fargfo was represent
ed by George S. Lee and the Adams
Express Company by J. F. Keane.
C. w. Stockton appeared as attorney
for all the companies.
The new system, which will go into
effect on February /, is known as
the block system. The country is d.
vided into blocks, approximately fifty
miles square. The rates are fixed
from block to block, and have no re-
lation to the individual point from
which the shipment is made or to
which it is consigned. Under this sys-
tenn a one-pound package may be
shipped from Newark to New York
at the minimum charge oftwenty-
cents. as against O charge of twenty
five cents under the present rate, to
Jersey City.
On packages weighing less than 100
pounds the decrease in the charge for
freightage is enormous. On packages
of 100 pounds or over the cuts are not
so great, in some instances increases
having even been made. The purpose
of the change in rates is to remove
the burden from the smaller ship
ments.

Contemporary Hears
Illustrated Lecture on
1.-THE Modern Pageant

w {. Langdon, president of the
American Pageantry Association,
spoke on THE Modern Pageant" be-
fore the members of the Contemporary
last night The affair was held in
the Board of Trade rooms and was
largely attended. The talk was illus
trated.
The history of pageants was gone
into by the speaker. 'Tn the modern
pageant the place is the hero" he
said, land the plot the development
of the community" Life, in his opin-
ion, is viewed from the community
point of view and in that respect var
les greatly from the ordinary drama
which has a personal hero and is con-
cerned with his affairs.
At the conclusion of his address,
Miss Frances Hays, daughter of for
mer Postmaster James L. Hays, re-
marked:
If Newark should decide to hold a
pageant on its two hundred and fifth
eth anniversary, how beautifully it
could be done in Branch Brook Park. "

NO FREE RIDES FOR
LETTER-CARR|ERS
Must Pay Fares on Trolley as
Agreement With Govern
ment Expires.

All ter-carriers will be obliged to
pay cash fares on the trolley cars
after today. The new edict goes into
effect at 1901 tomorrow morning.
Every letter-carrier who boards a
trolley car after that time will have
to deposit his nickel in the fare-box
just like other passengers.
The temporary agreement between
the Public Service Railway Company
kand the postal department expires al
midnight tonight By the terms of
the agreement the carriers fare was
paid by the government In lump
sum periodically The original agree
ment expired last July. For a few
days the carriers were paying cash
fares. Then temporary agreement
was reached. The government was
given until February 1 to frame a
new contract with the company. The
contract has not yet been signed.
Orders have been posted in all the
car barns notifying therconductors to
collect fares from letter-carriers
after tonight until further notice.
Postmaster Book says that some
definite agreement will be reached
later in the month and the old sys-
tenn will be renewed. The system of
cash fares for the letter. carriers
works hardship on them. In many
instances they will be required to
walk from their homes to the post
office. Heretofore they could ride.
The fare will be refunded by the gov
eminent, but only the exact amount
expended in going from the postoffice
to the start of their route.

TAYLOR WANTS HIS
TWO-CENT CHECK
Former Acting Governor Puz-
zIed How to Reclaim 1t
for a Souvenir.
Especial to the newark start

I
TRENTON. Jan. 31.-Former Act
ing Governor Leon r. Taylor Is bound
not to permit official red tape or the
laws of the State of New Jersey to
prevent him from getting what he
] considers the most interesting curl
osity he ever has seen--a check for two
cents paid him by the comptroller
for salary owing him when he quit
office.
When Governor Fielder took office
on January 20 the State of New Jer-
sey owed Acting Governor Taylor sal
airy for twenty days service from
January /. When the comptroller's
office computed what was due Mr..
Taylor, its calculations were based
on the approximate amount Mr.. Tay-
Tor earned each day he was governor.
| A check was prepared on this basis,
and Mr.. Taylor received it.
The same day, however, a clerk in
the comptroller's office decided that
Mr.. Taylor's daily wage as he had
| figured it was not accurate enough.
SO he carried out his computations to
another decimal point and found on
this basis the State still owed Mr..
Taylor two cents.
| Mr.. Taylor took the second check
from Comptroller Edwards and in
formed him that he intended keeping
II as a curiosity.
"oh, no, you won't" the comptroller
/ told him, you'll have to cash that.
In order to keep our accounts straight
that check will have to come back TO
US through the regular mediums Of
exchange.
Former Governor Taylor is now try
4 ing to devise some way of getting
back the check, which he has cashed,
from the comptroller.

ONE KISS COSTS
PRINCIPAL s JOB
Hoboken Board Dismisses Prof.
Talbot on Scrubwom-
an's Charge.

HOBOKEN, Jan. 31.-Professol
Lafayette Talbot, suspended princi-
pal of Public School No. 8, of this
city. was dismissed early today after
a stormy star chamber session of the
Hoboken Board of Education. The
charge against him was that he had
Rugged and kissed a scrubwoman
The session lasted from o'clock last
night until toward dawn this morn
ing.
On January 10 Professor Talbot
who has been in the service of the
Hoboken schools for more than TWEEN
ty years, was suspended following, a
complaint of Miss Charlotte Hadden--
horst, teacher of the school OF
which Talbot was the head Miss
Haddenhorst testified last night that
IN January Z she had been in the
teachers dressing room and had
seer. by means of Q. reflection in a
glass door, the principal hugging and
kissing Mrs. Anna Berndt, scrub
woman. Miss Haddenhorst said she
distinctly heard the smack OF a kiss.
Asked il there could have been any
mistake. she said that she watched
carefully and was sure before she
made her decision to complain.
Professor Talbot arrived at the
meeting with his wife and daughter
and three prominent Hoboken minis
ters. who came to testify to his good
character. The preachers, Rev. John
Rudolph. of the German Evangelical
Church; Rev. Henry z. Beatty, OF the
First Presbyterian Church, ana Rev.
Forest l.. Frazer, of the First Bap-
fist Church, all said they had known
talbot many years and considered
him above suspicion.
Miss Eva Davy, teacher at School
No. 8. testified that she had known
Professor Talbot for sixteen years
and had never seen or heard of his
acting in any but a blameless way.
Miss Jennie Frost, who was a high
school student under the professor,
and has been a teacher in his school
for six years, said his behavior had
always been impeccable.
There was a long argument on the
subject of the professors dismissal,
during which his wife and daughter
sat outside the door, cheered by the
ministers, who remained for the de-
cision.
In the course of the debate. it is
said. the fact was brought out that
Professor Talbot had been denoted
from the principalship of the Hoboken
High School five years ago on charges
of familiarities with his girl students.
The decision for dismissal was
unanimous.

Joseph M. Branegah leader of the

tains more complete schedule and

Loan agencies paid very little at
tention to the bill when it was in
troduced, but since 1t was reported
out OF the judiciary committee and
given second reading last Tuesday
anxiety has been clearly manifested
by many of them. Leader Branegan
says he has received no less than
twenty letters during the past few
days from loan agents and agencies
pleading with him to alter the bill
or amend it so that 1t will not put
them out of business. From the evil
dent worriment of the writer's of those
letters MIR. Branegan figures that he
has a bill that will prove effective.
Aims at Fair Rate.
The bill was drafted by the author
tiles of the Russell Sage Foundation,
Of New York They think, over there
that the bill is warranted to force
loan agencies to charge fair rate OF
interest or go out of business. AS
one fate is about as enticing as the
other to the real loan shark, it will
be seen that the Foundation people
have great faith in the bill. Next SEES
sion the same bill will be introduced
In the New York Legislature. The
fact that its hackers sent 1t first to
New Jersey is compliment to the
kind of laws they believe are being
passed here nowadays. The Jersey
City Chamber of Commerce is in
favor of the loan shark legislation,
and so are many charitable societies
This bill will, I believe, be pleas
ing to Governor Fielder Mr.. Brane-
gan said Il think he will be pleased
to sign it after it has passed both
houses. Last year, you know, he re-
fused to sign bill with the same pur-
pose which he thought was unfair
While this bill is not a milk-and-
water measure by any means, 1 do
not think it will be found to be I'M
