Two Bills for
Better Business

When an employer finds that the machines that he
has provided for his employees hinder rather than help
them in their work. he loses time in throwing out
those machines His instant need is for other machines
that will do the work better.
Such is the present situation in regard to the Full
Crew" excess man crew Laws. You citizens of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania have found that the cum
bersome machinery of these laws waste of two
million dollars year in unearned wages and seriously
impars the efficiency of your employees the railroads of
your States Agreed that high time to be rid of this
wasefu machinery your need is for something to
take its place that will do the work better.
In the Legislatures of both your States bills have
been introduced putting the control of the proper man
ming of trains in the proper hands-those of the
Public Service Commissions. If these bills are passed
they will do all that the Full Crew Laws were intended
to do-insure safe and efficient train operation-wth-
out the present huge waste
AS straightaway business proposition the imme-
date passing of these bills is pressing public necessity

On our positions on both side OF the

OIL; waterwOrks, $l2,l69.I5, and sew.
ers, $l,577O3.
The summary of the report for June

June, $2l ,956, total of 5000, 757.47,

Fine Showing In License Collections
In a statement given to The Adver
tiscr Yesterday Treasurer Conkling
shows that during the first six DAYS
of the license collection period this
second half of the year the city irons
ury received $34,0G5, as against 3d.
1850 collected during the frst seven
days of the same period year ago
This, pointed out Treasurer ConkIing,
shows the difference between Rcpub.
lican and a Democratic administration
Thus, for a like period, less one day,
at that, the city treasury took in $l5,.
34S.50 more this month than it did a
year ago. All this does not take into
consideration the liquor licenses col
lected recently and which amounted
TO $23,255.

LEGAL WAR Prizes
Attorney-General Asks British
Court To Condemn Norwe-
gian and Swedish Bottoms

tAs:ost ftost " iF.Serai wFYe~l
3L0NDoN, July I5..-Sir Edward Car
son, attorney general in the coalition
cabinet, yesterday asked on behalf Of
the crown that the prize court condemn
as legal prizes of war the Norwegian
steamers Alfred Nobel, Kim and B.iorn-
stiorne BjOrnsOn and tho Swedish
steamer Fridland, which have been
seized by British patrol ships and
brought to British ports on the grounds
that they were carrying conti4,band for
the use Of the enemy.
The Alfred Nobel sailed from New
York on June ~, clearing for Havre;
the Kim cleared from New York for.
a South American port on June II and
touched at Colon, afterwards clearing
for Calcta Buena; the Biornstje
Bjornson cleared late in June from
Newport News, ostensibly for Marscil-
les. The Swedish Fridland carried
cleaFahces Ior copenhagen, the only
one of the four named ships intercepted
trying to make that port.
Sir Edward states that Copenhagen is
practically a base of supplies for the
German army, into which contraband
is pouring in neutral ships, the major
ity of which do not carry clearance
papers for that port, but for some
French or British port The cases of
the four steamers are brought before
the prize court by way of tests.
In British ports, held by the British
authorities, are thirty-eight other YES
sells, seized under the same circum.
stances as contraband carriers.

UP the Ruff River, on the coast of
German East Africa, is now a total
wreck, having been hammered into
scrap during the past week by the guns
of British monitors
The Koenigsberg, on September 10,
surprised the British cruiser Pegasus,
repairing her engines, in harbor south
of Zanzibar, and destroyed the British
vessel, which was unable to reply. On
September 80, few miles further south,
the Kocnigsberg was sighted by the
British cruiser Chatham, which gave
chase. The Germans fled up the Rufigi
River, the draft of the Chatham pre-.
venting her from following.
Landing parties from the Chatham
were driven Off, but the British sank
small craft at the mouth of the
Rufgi and bottled the Koeuigsberg up.
Recently the admiralty sent two of
the shallow draft monitors against the
KOenigsbcrg, these crafts being able
to draw in close enough to get within
range of the German. The admiralty
now announces that the monitors have
done their work and that the kornigs-
berg is a helpless wreck from shell
fire.
