MILkMAN FILLED
 BOTTLES IN OPEN
Butcher Also in Court Under
 New Slaughter Law

| Charged with filling milk bottles dairy or his home under proper sani- tary conditions, F. s. Miller of New l Britain road, Plainville, was fined SIG 1 by Judge James T. Meskill in police I court today. Action was brought | upon complaint of the board of health through Dr. T. Eben Reeks. It was testified that Miller was seen filling several bottles at Broad and High streets.
 Miller said that he had no inten- tions of breaking the regulations, be- ieves in all due precautions being taken and only filled three pint bottles because he found that his stosk of these was a little short and not sufficient to meet demands of his pa irons. He said further that the bottles had been cleaned thoroughly before starting on the route. In ex- planation, he testified, it is often diffi- cult for 2 milk dealer to accurately determine how much trade there will be and that often there are demands from other than regular patrons.
 Judge Meskill agreed that it may bo hard on the dealer and difficult to definitely estimate but said it is still harder on the people to have milk furnished in bottles that are not thoroughly sanitary and in compliance with health board regulations. He said that it is highly important that these regulations be enforced as one bottle from a house in which there is typhoid may infect an entire com munity.
 First Meat Prosecution.
 D. M. Fichman, marketman at 2s4 Park avenue, was fined $1o without costs for having an unstamped and uninspected calf carcass for sale in his market. This action was also brought by the board of health and is the first prosecution under the ordinance en- acted last July Attorney M. D. Saxe appeared for the defense, asked for leniency, said there was no intent to violate the ordinance and showed that it was the first appearance of his client in court. Judge Meskill said that a man who has been in business as long as Fichman ought to be we'll aware of the ordinances governing the busi- ness and that the dealers must realize that the ordinances must be observed He believed that there has been suf- f1ciently published relative to the en- actment of the ordinances so that there is no excuse for dealers not being fully aware of their existence

JERSEY GOVERNOR
 RAPS WILSON LAWS
New Executive, Suggests Legislature Consider Seven Sisters as Re-
 lated to Clayton Act.

UO SLby tOll IACts
 Trenton, N. J., Jan. 16.-Walter B. Edge of Atlantic City, who became governor of New Jersey today sug- gested in his inaugural address that the SO called seven sisters acts re- 1ating to corporations be carefully scanned to find out whether the state IS losing revenue and business pres tige without compensation. These acts designed to prevent the foster ing of nlonopolies. were placed on the statute books during the administra- t1on of Governor Wilson. ~ l-
 Tt Is a we'll known fact" said Gov. Edge, that g. considerable number of the provisions of the so-called seven sisters are in conflict with the Clay ton act of the federal government It Is not unwise that our state laws regulating business should conflict with the last word that the federal government has said upon this inn portant subject? I do not ask these questions in a spirit of antagonism based on an opinion already former, but. rather in spirit of genuine in- quiry.'

The Making of a Famous Medicine.

Few people realize that over 350,- 900 pounds of various herbs are used annually in making Lydia F. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, and these herbs all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their medi- cinal properties are at their best.
 The watchword in preparing these herbs is cleanliness, the process of percolation Is perfect. All utensils and tanks are sterilized and the medi- cine is pasteurized, clarified and fil- tered before it Is bottled for the consumer.
 It is this wonderful combination of herbs, together with the skill and care used in the preparation, which has made this famous medicine so suc- cessful in the treatment of female ills.

POWER TO SEIZE
ALL SHIPS ASKED
Bills Authorize President
to Take Vessels With
out Notice
from The Tribune Bureau


Washington, Feb. 7.-Sweeping pow
ers for the communicating of private
property for national defence were
proposed for the President to-day. In
both the Senate and House identical
bills were introduced by Senator
Fletcher, chairman of the Senate Com
merce Committee, and Chairman Alex
ander, of the Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee, providing for the
taking over of all ships that might be
deemed necessary.
These ships would be seized whether
being built for private concerns or for
foreign governments.
One provision is that the compensa-
ton to be allowed by the government
is not TO be fixed at the time of taking
over, but afterward, so that the high
prices paid at the time of the Spanish
American War for some ships will not
be duplicated
The ship seizure bill, designed TO
place the United States on par with
European nations in the control of its
shipping facilities in time OF stress.
was drawn up after a conference last
night between Secretary McAdoo, Chair
man Denman of the Shipping Board,
and members of Congress. To-day it
received approval by President Wilson
and the full membership OF the board.
May Be Seized Without Notice
A feature to which officials attach
particular significance is provision
that the property to be taken over may
be seized without notice if the Presi-
dent considers the emergency war
rants it,
The House Naval Committee also re-
ported favorably the bill granting the
President authority to commander pri-
vate shipyards and munition factories
in time of war or other emergencies.
I The only important change was that
the authorization of the President to
draft into the military service Of the
United States all employees of such es-
tablishments was stricken out. it being
considered that this was a needless re-
fection on the patriotism of such en-
plOyes.
The House Naval Affairs Committee
voted fayorably on the bill authorizing
the President TO issue per cent bonds
up to Sl50,000,000 TO obtain the eXpedl-
tious delivery Of materials, equipment
and munitions. Of war and to hasten
the construction of war vessels. The
committee also approved bill appro-
priating slOOO,0O0 for the purchase of
aircraft patents. This bill is designed
to settle controversies and permit the
government to build aeroplanes with
out annoyance from patent holders.
Both Senate and House judiciary
committees continued work on the bills
fixing penalties for violations of neu-
trality.
An emergency appropriation Of $780,
600 for relief, protection and trans
portation of American citizens in Eu-
rope was asked of Congress to-day by

fically the situation in which many

FOR AIR DEFENCE
Aero Club in Resolution
Urges Big Increase in
Aerial Appropriation

A resolution asking that the pro-
posed $4,000 600 appropriation for army
aerial preparedness be increased to
$4,000 900 was adopted yesterday by
the Aero Club of America.
The action followed the report of the
House Committee on Military Affairs,
which allowed SS,O0O,O0O for military
aeronautics and 100000 for aero
nautic stations.
According to the resolution adopted
by the Aero Club the upbuilding Of de-
fences requires:
The immediate training and equip
ment Of 200 aviators and 1000 opera
tors for observation balloons.
Ten permanent aviation stations and
ten permanent kite balloon and dirigi-
bic stations.
Three planes for each of 1 900 svia-
tors, which is the number allowed by
other countries.
The Aero Club estimates the cost
and equipment Of grounds at about
$4,000, 900, and the cost Of 5000 planes
at approximately $50 ,000,000.
Young men seeking service in the
aviation section are still applying at

Most Of the applicants are without
previous experience as hlers, but their

Ellis Island awaiting entry 10 this
country as immigrants, were admitted

their cases by special board of in
quiry.
1t had first been intended to lay all
the cases before the authorities at
Washington. Advices from there wer'
received yesterday. however, instruct
ing that the cases be passed on by the
board of inquiry here. As a result al
most all of the first sailors TO come TO
the island from their ships were adj
mitted.
Nine more sailors were brought TO the
island yesterday on the cutter Immigts-
ton. Most Of them came from the ships
laid up in lIoboken, though there were
few from the ships at the l35th
Street piers on the Manhattan side.
There are now at the island less than
fifteen of the sailors whose cases have
not been disposed OF.
According to superintendent Baker
several of the men who came 10 the
island were found TO be United States
citizens. They were Immediately re
leased. They had concealed their
American citizenship, il was said from
their superior officers on the German
ships, fearing it would cost them their
iobs
