MILK INSPECTORS
PLAN LEGISLATION
Wi||sey Presides at Meeting of
State Officers Held
in Newark.

At meeting of the New Jersey
Milk Inspectors Association held in
Newark and presided over by William
]. Willsey, health officer of this city,
and president of the association, plans
were laid for better sanitation and
milk protection throughout the state.
Steps will be taken to have bills pass
ed through the legislature. guarding
the milk supply and taking steps to
have the sanitation of the mild pro-
ducts better taken care of.
One of the important features of the
legislation proposed is to have all pas
teurized milk bottled at the plant
where it is pasteurfxed so as to elm
mate unnecessary handling of the sup
ply. 1t is believed that the milk ex-
posed to air after pasteurizatfon Is re-
sponsible for carrying many germs.
The association also decided to ask
the cooperation of the state board OF
health to cooperate with them in an
effort to have q bill passed, making II
necessary for all employees of creamer-
les to have certificates for clean bill
of health, thus assuring the sanitation
of the milk from the creameries.
Steps will also be taken for the leg
islation providing for the branding ol
all tubercular reacting animals, whose
milk mhst be pasteurized before being
placed Oh sale. -

ALDERMAN CLARK
RESENTS ATTACKS
Says He's Trying to Guard In
terests of Taxpayers
Aldermen Meet Tonight.

There came indications today that
despite alleged opposition by Alder
man John J. Clark and Alderman-at-
Large Ira r. Grouse, that Superlnten-
dent of Police Patrick j. Burke would
receive an increase in salary and that
Detectives Gutowski and Hartmann
would be retained in the police ranks
they now hold. Such claim was made
today by aldermen who have become
thoroughly acquainted with the situa-
ton. 1t was also stated today that
Recorder Harold L. Pickersgill would
probably receive an increase in salary
from $1,000 to $500 year. The
Republican officials and other leaders
held another caucus Saturday night.
1t was reported after adjournment
had been taken that the slate had not
yet been completed and that all par
ticipantS were. sworn to secrecy on the
subject of the conference.
Alderman John ]. Clark created
scene at Smith and State streets this
morning when he showered a verbal
attack upon Detective Gutowskl. AS
q crowd began to gather. the fifth ward
alderman walked away. He assused
the detective of perjuring himself on
the witness stand at New Brunswick
and of not attending to his duties here
in, a proper manner. Superintendent
of Police Burke, who was conversing
with Officer Gutowski before the at
tack was made, said he considered. him
one of the best men on the police force.
Gutowski said Clark had sworn to get
him." had trailed him and Hartmann
at various hours of the early morning
and had made the boast that he would
break the new detectives If he had TO
engage stools" to do it.
A Republican alderman, a leader in
his party, said afterwards that he and
other members of the council opposed
such tactics and declared that Mr..
Clark would probably not have his
way as much as he expected.
Alderman Clark today resented the
criticism made by other officials that
the act of opposing the new detectives
was one Of spite work. He said he was
only trying to guard the interests OF
the taxpayers. Under his contention,
the detectives are not legally detec-
tives, net having been made SO by the
council in a lawful manner, and con-
sequently should not take from the
taxpayers that which he claims they
are not legally entitled to, namely, an
increase in salary Of $500 a year.
1t was stated today upon good auth
ority that it had practically been de-
cided to increase the salary of Re-
corder Pickersgill along with those OF
the new mayor. the overseer of the
poor and others. The recorder now re-
ceives $1,000 a year. Officials who
stand behind the move in the recor-
der's behalf state that Mr.. Piclzersgill is
entitled to raise, considering the stu
alton from all angles. They point out
that he is poorly paid compared with
recorders salarie7 in other commun-
tiles. They point out that he brings
in large revenues in fines to the city
working for the interests of the city
| in imposing fines when he could send
many cases to the higher courts IN
| New Brunswick.

BARNEY BERNARD is ROYAL
FEATURE.

Few men have been SO perfectly fit
ted by nature for an important dra-
matte role as to seem almost ind1s-
solubly connected with 1t and yet
wherever the fame of Potash and
Perlmutter" has spread the distinctive
thing about its success has brought out
discussion of the charm of Barney
Bernard in the part of Abe Potash, one
of the partners. Record of this un-
mistakable hit is one of the prize pos
sessions of New Yorlx's dramatic crit
les, and, so it is that Bernard's facil-
ity for such roles has earned the right
to make an indelible impression of
this adaptability through the means
of the screen, and, "A Prince in a
Pawnshop," the feature In which Bern
ard will today be seen at the Royal
Theatre, is woven around a similar
story that will enable him to show
the natural gifts that have him so sat
isfactorily blend his comedy instincts
and pathetic moments in a way that
ranks him as one of our greatest char
acter actors.

The story of this thrilling drama of
Russian political intrigue was written
by Jules Eckert Goodman from Thom-

Theodore Roberts has the supreme
distinction of being Americas leading
character actor. In his years on the
stage and screen, he has been seen IN
many different roles, in all of which
he has been ideal. but it Is said that
as the cruel head of the Russian Secret
