THINKS LIQUOR VIOLATIONS
CAUSE CRIME INCREASE

FREEHOLD, Oct. a. Justice
Samuel Kalisch, in charging the
newly empaneled October term Nom
mouth county grand jury yesterday
said that there appeared to be an
increase in crime and that he did
not know to what to ascribe it UNI
less it was o~ccasioned by non-ob-
servance of the liquor laws. The
justice said that he had a letter from
the ministers of the county in which
complaint was made of the alleged
lack of activity in suppressing liquor
violations and charging that there
are a number of places about the
county where violations of the IL
quor laws are violated and that re-
main unmolested by the constituted
authorities. The oath to which the
jurors subscribed should be their
best guide. the justice said and
charged that where evidence is pre-
sented that presents a reasonable
nus to believe that violations are
committed that indictments should
be returned.

ADVERTISING URGED BY
PUBLIC UTILITY HEAD

CHICAGO, Oct. advertising
day after day, week after week,
month after month-as the best
method by which public utilities
may overcome public prejudice, was
strongly urged by VIII. Sawyer, pres
ident of the Fast st. Louis e. Su-
burba Railway Company, speaking
here today before the American
Electric Railway Association conven-
ton:
Few really going, progressive
concerns in any other business less
than one per cent. of their gross on
advertising, many spend five per
cent" he declared. THE average
street railway company can, to good
advantage, as a business proposition
conducive to the welfare not only
of the company but of the commune
ty served, spend one per cent of
its gross earnings on paid adver-
Using.
II believe in consistent advertis-
ing, not defensive advertising
brought about by necessity. but ad-
vertising calculated to prevent need
of a stone wall defense. 1 want u
customers to know the condition of
their street railway company; / want
them to know it all the time SO that
when any question arises they are
fully informed.
advertising is not the solution of
all our troubles. We may still be
unfairly and unduly attacked but adj
vertising is a duty which we W
to our public, our customers, and it
is good business.
Il am using paid newspaper space
to give the public the facts. l use
a considerable amount of it and l
doubt If l am using enough"
Mr.. Sawyer's a6 Ire was part OF

M. C. Brush, Philadelphia; H. B.
Flowers, Baltimore; Britton I. Budd,

in report to be presented to the third annual convention of the League.
 Equal allmony rights for men were advocated in an interview by Catherine Waugh McCulloch, we'll known woman lawyer of Chicago, chairman of the committee which will make the report.
 If man marries wealthy woman and she encourages him to believe that he will have an interest in her prop erty, he should be given the right to claim alimony in case of a divorce, n said Mrs. McCulloch. Also, if the woman has money, he should have the same alimony rights as woman under the law if he is inexperienced or old"
 According to League leaders, the re- port of Mrs. McCulloch's committee will start drive by the organization, which represents approximately seven million women voters, to put the rec concentrations on the statute books of every state.
 Health certificates would be required in each state from every couple apply ing for a marriage license, if the laws proposed are adopted.
 Elopers would have their impatience checked by a provision demanding a five OF ten days notice of intention to marry before 8 marriage license was granted.
 Four grounds for divorce are recom~ mended-adultery drunkenness, deser- tion and extreme cruelty. The aim is to make these and whatever others may be added the universal grounds
