A FISH TRUST INDICTMENT.

The indictment by the Federal grand jury at
Seattle of the halibut trust which controls the han
ding and sale of haibut in the United States sug-
gests the hope that the trusts the Atlantic coast
that make other fish dear to the people may be
broken up by prosecution. The New Jersey fisheries
are in the grip of this trust with the of the
New Jersey Legislature, and the traffic is therefore
interstate within the jurisdiction of the Federal
courts
Thus far trust prosecution has been mockery of
the law. All necessaries that under trust con-
troll cost the than they did before the
Federal government began its series of Intellectual
prosecutions The trust, which indicted at
Chicago, is greater menace to the American people
than and is putting up meat prices to fig
ures that simply prohbitory to millions of con-
.umers.
Cheap fish would be enormous boon to the
people especially at this time 1t would give them
substitute for animal meats and enable them to fight
the meat trust, which government is unable un-
willing to protect them from The New Jersey Legs-
aure could break the hold of the trust the States

hopeless in emergency of the people to appeal to

Legislation on tuberculosis
States Have Laws of Different Kinds

Legislation dealing with tubercu-
losis has been enacted in nearly all
of the States of the United States,
according to a comprehensive bull
letin on this subject soon to be
published by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis. Only in the States of
Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming
and Alaska has the subject been
given no legislative consideration.
State tuberculosis sanatoria to the
number of forty-two have been es-
ta,blished in thirty three different
States. Special laws providing for the
establishment of local hospitals by
municipalities or counties have been
passed in fourteen States. In "a
States, laws are in force providing for
the reporting and registration of liv-
ing cases of tuberculosis. In four
States, New York, New Jersey, Wis
consin and Minnesota, special laws
have been enacted giving State and
local health authorities power to re-
move and detain tuberculous persons
who menace the health of their fami-
lies or associates. Six States, Illinois,
Iowa. Missouri, Minnesota, New York
and Texas, have laws which give the

ROOFS FOR PLAYGRouNps.

Utilizing the roof for playground is recent
modern idea at least in this country. Theatrical
terprise introduced the innovation of roof garden
but not until years afterwards that the idea

Hundreds of acres of roof space in Newark are
wasted and this includes the roofs of public schools,
every one of which should be playground, with
uses quite as important the school auditorium.

NEIGHBoRLY WORDS FROM HUDSON

That Hudson County folk take more than mere
neighborly interest in the preparations Newark is
making for the celebration in 1916 of the two hun
dred and fftieth anniversary of the big city the
west bank of the Passac is testified to by the Jersey
Journal of Jersey City. And the Journal further
afirms that I'VE have an affection for Newark and
take honest pride in her achievements and share
the pleasure of any good fortune that falls to her
lot"
These neighbory words and they express the
truth. large part of Hudson County on this side
of the Hackensack is closely affiliated with Newark
and will naturally take deep interest in the ceebra-

Truffies show no roots, stems or

from the bigness of pecan to that

Their exact method of growth is n3e

a great luxury by epicures.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Modest Mans Resnect fOr His Position

The late Judge William A. Richard
son, who was secretary of the treas
ury in the last two years of General
Grants first administration and who
had earlier been assistant secretary
of the treasury. was man of quaint
and charming simplicity and uncon-
ventionality. That fact was espe-
cially observed at the time he was
serving as chief justice of the Court
of Claims at Washington. for he APP
peared to be at one moment utterly
lacking in self consciousness and a
moment later to be a little sensitive
lest there had been insufficient ac-
acknowledgement of the important ju-
dicial position which he held.
While | was on a visit to Boston,
where Judge Richardson was we'll
known-for he was citizen of Cam
bridge and he had been brought into
professional association as a judge of
probate with many of the members
of the Boston bar-an anecdote was
related to me of an experience of
Asa Potter, who for many years was
banker of Boston and an intimate
personal friend of Judge Richardson.
There was something quantity de-
lightful in Judge Richardson's rela-
lions with the leading men of Boston
and had a good many opportunities
to observe them,'' said Mr.. Potter. ~
remember very well meeting with him
few weeks after he had succeeded
George S. Boutwell, as secretary of
the treasury in General Grants cab
met. He called on me at my office
and said to me that he had come to
Boston from Washington unofficially.
He wanted to call upon the collector
of the port and also upon the sub
treasurer and had, in fact. already
done SO. He had not paid his calls
as the official superior of these OFF,
GERS, but as neighbor and personal
friend

ton who were numbered among his
friends and he replied, l thought
somewhat sadly, that he had not. In
fact, it seemed to him, that the best
thing he could do was to go imme-
diate1y back to Washington.
II said to him that I was certain
that he would have been received
with conspicuous courtesies had 1T
been known that he was to pay a
visit to Boston so soon after he be-
came secretary of the treasury, and
added that l wished he would let
me know when he proposed coming
again SO that an appropriate recep-
ton or dinner could be arranged in
his honor.
"He shook his head slowly and then
said: Il don't care much for cere-
mony of that kind and yet If I should
happen to inform you of a proposed
visit to Boston 1t might give my
friends some qualification to arrange
for some such affair in my honor.
Now he did not realize that in
that statement he was revealing
some sense of his own official conse-
uuence and some desire that TINS
should be recognized by his old
friends.
"A few weeks later he wrote me
that he again purpoSeu Nlsltihs bos-
ton. / at once called upon w. w.
Clapp, then proprietor of the leading
Republican newspaper of New Eng
land. and told him that Judge Rich
ardson was coming to Boston and
thought would be pleased If some
tribute was paid to him.
MIR. Clapp said in reply We will
arrange for a little dinner for him
and we will make 1t a good one.
These arrangements were made and
Judge Richardson did not conceal his
qualification that his old friends in
Boston should have been glad to pay
him this little tribute"

FAITH BUILT ON DISBELIEF.
Criticism of Religious Doctrine Is Made by Southern Business
Man-Hits at Acceptance of Prohibition Necessary
Part of Christianity
70 lhe EdItor Or the pvenInr Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Sir--As a Presbyterian and as a
distiller 1t occurs to me that those
who are controlling the policies of the
Presbyterian church might be inter-
ested in the suggestion of the pos
sibility that they may have to as
sumo responsibility for the damna-
ton of the souls of those who are ex-
cluded from Christian fellowship be-
cause they cannot conscientiously ac-
cept prohibition as a necessary part
of Christianity.
AS l understand 1t the duty of the
Christian minister is to preach sal
walton through the acceptance of
Jesus Christ as the Saviour.
An individual has the lawful lib
erty to preach damnation through re-
lection of prohibition, but a Chris
tan minister, as SUCH has no au-
thority except that which he receives
from the Bible, and the Bible does
not make salvation contingent upon
belief in prohibition. In fact, the
Bible teaches free agency and OPP
poses any use of force in moral
matters.
1t Is a difficult task to persuade
men to accept Christ.
1t is a more difficult task to per-
suade men to believe in Christ and
In prohibition too.

volley of reviling was fired in the
press. Men who have evidently been
long cherishing grievances freed
their bosoms of much perilous stuff.
In order that our gol1ng readers may

about them, we will cite a few of
the railing accusations. Golf is no

blow to real team play and esprit de

writes to the London Times, "goif

That is the great reason it is so pop

home of the Davenports in London
used to be dear to the hearts of many
prominent actors and actresses at the
time that the Davenport children

who came there, there was none who
was better loved by the children than
the great tragedian, Edwin Booth.
One day, when little Fanny's be-
havior had not been all that Mrs.
Davenport thought it ought to have
been, Edwin Booth was to be guest
at dinner, and to punish the little
daughter Mrs. Davenport refused to
let Fanny come to the table. seating
her instead at small side table
where the children usually ate In
honor of the presence of the favorite.
Mr. Booth, the other children were
allowed to eat at the big table, leav-
ing little Fanny alone in her pun

hearted actor and, defying Mrs. Dav-
exports authority, he took his seat
at the little table with Fanny and
insisted on having his dinner served

Most prominent of all the women
born on July 16 is Mary Baker Glover
Eddy, the Inauguration of the Chris
tfan Science movement. She was
born ninety-three years ago in the
town of Bow, New Hampshire.
The Fanny Davenport whose birth
day is commemorated today is the
mother of the present generation
Fanny Davenport. She was born in
1929 and as the daughter of the man
ager of Haymarket Theatre, in
London, she was early associated with
things theatrical. Her first appear
ance on the stage took place when
she was only three years old. When
she was eighteen years old she was
playing Juliet with great success, and
when she was barely twenty she met
the actor, Edward Davenport, TO
whom she was speedily married.
This was her second matrimonial
venture.
After her marriage Fanny Dayen-
mort went on acting under her maiden
name of Vining. She seconded her
husband in Shakespearean comedies
and tragedies with great success.

Commenting on the problem of
State legislation as 1t affects the pre-
vention of tuberculosis, the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis says:
"A law providing for the reporting
and registration of every living case
of tuberculosis is fundamental to any
campaign against this
disease. Without a knowledge of the
location of every case of tuberculosis,
the disease cannot be controlled. - OF
equal Importance also is legislation
which will give cities, towns and
counties the authority to establish
and maintain local hospitals for tu-
berculous cases. The control of tuber-
culosis is a local problem. Every
thing possible should be done to pro-
vide institutions easy of access, espe-
cially for advanced cases.
