DOES NOT REACH Them
Law Regarding Commission Mer-
chants Doesn't Affect Express Cos.

Express companies doing business in
this state are not affected by the pro-
visions of the new state law regulat
ing the purchase and sale of farm pro-
ducts. That is the opinion of S. NJ.
Brewster, attorney general, provided
the companies do not sell goods on
commission and make no charges for
the handling of such products in ex-
cess of regular transportation charges.
When j. c. Mohler, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, recently
began an investigation of the produce
question, he was informed that certain
express companies had been provid
ing markets for farm products and
charging a commission in addition to
regular express charges. Mohler ap-
pealed to the attorney general for Q
ruling. In his opinion to Mohler,
General Brewster holds that the ex-
press companies are not amenablo
under the act unless they perform both
the service of a common carrier and .
commission merchant. Brewster
holds, also, that the law applies not
alone to regular commission houses.
but to grain firms which buy or sell
grain on commission. Where these
firms buy and sell direct without
charging commission, the law is held
not to apply.

BAKERS CHOP HOUSE,
 LONDON, IS TO CLOSE.
Oldest and Best Known of Eating
 Houses in British Metropolis.

London. Dec. 21.-After an existence Of more than two centuries, Bakers chop house in Change Alley, just around the corner from the Royal Ex- change and the Bank of England, is to close. The lease has expired, and the oldest and best known of the old Lon don eating houses to keep to its tradi- tions passes away this week.
 Bakers Is quite as picturesque as Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, but, unlike been a mere show place for tourists, 1t has kept it's old-time atmosphere. No records seem to exist to show the year when Bakers came into being, but it was probably built soon after the great fire of 1866. Tradition says the original Baker had formerly been head waiter at Lloyd's coffee house, near by, which later developed into the marine insurance institution known as Lloyd's. In the days of the South Sea Bubble Bakers was thronged with spectators, as Change Alley was then the very center of stock trading in London.
 Another distinction of Bakers Is that it was within its rooms that the Lon don Missionary society was conceived. In November, 17s4. body of eminent non-confornist clergymen met at Ba- ker's, where, according to temporary record, they united in prayer and de- liberation on behalf of millions of their race Su1IeI1A8 ITOIn Sln anu 0cDdSS0 Oy idolotry." The upshot was the forma- ton of the greatest of the British for eign missionary societies.
 Perhaps 1b0 years have passed since a mmeoer of the Baker family has been an owner. But the successive proprie- tors adhered to the old-fashioned rooms and old-fashioned English wait CTS. The ground floor specialized in chops and steaks, cooked on the open grill near by, and the joint, steak. pud- ding or Irish stew were the features of the upper floor, Bakers has always been faithful to willow ware and pew ter. Old customers also observed the historic tip of a penny to the waiter and a penny to the cook; to leave more branded the giver as an inter loper, and his extra pennies, while pocketed.7 did not gain him any special attention.
