SELF-GOVERNMENT IN
REFORMATORY FAILS
Inmates Of New Jersey lnstitu-
ton Resent Being Disciplin-
ed by Their Fellows.

TRENTON, Jan. 3.-Failure of the
plan OF self-government, under which
the discipline of the state retormatory
at Railway was entrusted to the IN
mates. and difficulties encountered in
putting into effective operation the
State use system as a substitute for the
old contract system. are outstanding
features OF the annual report of the in
stitution submitted to Governor
Fielder
The scheme of administering dis
cipline by n council OF the inmates was
tried nearly a year So much friction
was encountered that the question of
continuing the experiment or reveFting
TO the old plan was put to vote OF the
inmates. The old plan was indorsed by
an overwhelming majority.
The managers found that politics crept
into tho affairs of the council, both in
the selection OF members and admins
tration of it's functions. Favoritsm was
mamie sted and the inmates generally
resented the idea of being disciplined by
thcir fellows.
Practical failure of the State use sys-
tenn is attributed by the managers IL
the inadequacy of the appropriation.

install modern machinery. and this
nccessitated the manufacture OF all

GREI Tile FOR

Russians Storm Heights, Cap

Fifteen officers.

LONDON. ian. 3.-The great battle In
Galicia which has been foreshadowed
for some days by the concentration OF
heavy Russian and Teuton forces, has
begun in earnest. and. according TO an
official statement issued in Petrogrsd.
the Russians thus far have the UPPER
hand. Czernowitz, capitol of the BuKo-

lighting. The Russians report that they
storuled heights before the city and
took 90 prisoners. including fifteen otti-
GERS. The city's population is held
ready for evacuation.
Csernowitz was taken by the Russians
In the trst GaHcian drive and was re-
taken by the Austrians exactly year
later. since then It has been firmly held
BY the Teutons.
The Austro-Cierman forces in Galicia
are estimated at 100000 men, and the
Czar Ia believed to have an army OF
almost equal numerical strength, m
cluding the strong forces recently
Withdrawn from Bessarabia.
The battle around Czernowitz began
three days ago. and a decisive result is
eagerly awaited here. The outcome or
the fighting Is counted upon to in1u-
ence Roumania into definitely going on
one side or the other.

IN MANCHUR|A
Japanese Sugar Men From For
moSa Have Plans For Great
Sugar Industry

According to the Japan Advertiser
Of August -. 'Tntsu Maxi. managing
director ~ the Ensuik0 Sugar Mini
Company, has jWst returned from tour
nf Mancnuriu, where he inspected the
condition Of the beet sugar industry.
His impression is that the entire region
of Manchuria seems to be fit for grow
ing brets, hut he PntPrtuins greater
hope in tn" region north Of Mukdcn.
"Bect growing in Manchuria, accord
ing TO Mr.. Maxi. has several advan-
tages over the sugar cane growing in
FormOsa. First, there is greater area
of land easily procurablc; second, the
labor is abundant and cheaper; and
third, the great market for sugar is
nearer than in the case of FOrmosa. OF
these, the first advantage is of an un.
estimabIc value because the sugar milf
ing industry is quasi-agriculturp Is
peCi0lly, it is to he noted with interest
that sugur-mil men can easily acquire
the use or tn" ownership of any large
tract of land in Manchuriu
To Sink Al tesian Wells
fBut there is one Gisadva ntugc-the
lack of irrigation. 1t is therefore nee
essary that art"sian wells be dug on a
large scale in order to undertake beet
growing. At present the wells in Man
churia are only thirty feet deep, and
the temperature Of the water is 80 low
that it does not do for irrigation pur-
poses.
"NO investigation has yet been made
as to what depth water Of a moderate
Temperature" could be obtained. As to
the question of what effect the beet
sugar industry in Manchuria has upon
the sugar industry there Mr.. Maxi be
heves that il cannot faif to be n strong
competitor. but thinks it will not have
a bad effect or Formosa. On the con
trary, it will give an opportunity to the
Formosa mill men to effect various i'm
provements in their working which
would otherwise be left undOnp"

INSIDE ADV|CES
CONCERNING PRICES
Market Conditions Are Very Un-
usual and Suggest SpecuIa-
tive Influences

Th" New York CORE sl"ndrnt of To-
cul sugar house writing under date of
September !, SAYS: There has been
plenty of action in III" option market
hopes in the minds Of those engaged in
the actual buying and selling of raw
sugars that the sPc'uI' tive element has
been sntiltcd and that more orderly, If
less exciting, conditions viii prevail for
the rest of this year.
"Tn"rc appears I" be- II" doubt that
bearing the raw sugar market has been
engaged in by certain parties TO their
very substantial profit. and that the de
preSs'Cl due to this cause may continue
for sometime MEETINGS have been re
duced ta II minimum. For all they are
doing al leust three r"hn"ri"s might as
we'll be closed down, and the country
seems t. be determined to stick to n
hand-t D-mOuth business Much of the
poor demand for refined sugar is due to
the vigorous curtnilmcnt Of great con
sumption in Grrut Britain. which en-.
ablcs the british Purchasing Commits
sion to practically crrsr buying our
graduated sugar.
Prices Normally Low
"The threatened railroad strike,
which may or may not be thing Of
the past, hrs always been factor,
while experience " the last two years
has taught the iohhcrS and penultimate
consumers that September and October
arc now likely t. be months of plenty
and low prices rather than otherwise.
Consequently the bcIrf is that barring

any more than an arhltrage transactio

There has been some question wheth,
er the county would get half the pres

and the company informed the utihtie
commission recently that it was hold
ing the six months fee, awaiting
definite legal instruction from the au
thorities as to whether municipal
territorial Golfers should receive it.
When first Payment Is Due

ment of public utilities fees to TIL
counties instead of to the Territory
went into effect June l6, 1916, and
that it is not retrospective. Quotin.
number of authorities on the legal
aspect of the subject, he says in con,
clusiOn:
My opinion is that the first pay
mcnt will be due the counties under
this act, February !, 1917, and it will
be percentage Of the gross receipt;
for the calendar year ending Decem.
Der |, 1916"
In the body Of his opinion Stain,
back says:
Franchise Tax Involved
1t may be urged with force that
upon February !, 1917, the counties
will be entitled only to percentage
of the receipts Of the various com
panies after June 10, 1916, and not
for the whole year Of 1916; that to
90 beyond this date would make the act
retrospective.
" However, | am of the opinion thai
tax due February |. 1917, is a fran
chise tax due for the year 1917, to be
measured by the amount of bushes,
done during 1916 and therefore there
would be nothing retroactive in con
