* GAftVEN ON STORAGE Mi:\A( /; TO HEALTH. 'Jersey City Prosecutor Chief. Speaker at Hearing. \ . [By Telegraph to Th». Trihu]r.c. Trenton, N. J., March 7.'—l 'roscctitor Pierre P. Garveu. of Jersey City, speak tag at th* hearing on- the James cold stor ate bill held before Iloase Committee on Tabor and Industries this afternoon, urged th« passage of a bill of even stronger provisions than the.. James meas ure, which prohibits the keeping of food stuffs in cold** storage Jor more than six months. Mr. Uarven said v that he was prepared to prove that col<* storage food stuff* wire injurious to the health. Dis cussing the. relation of cold storage ware houses and high prices, Mr. Garven said: I am Informed that poultry which has lost its natural color while in cold storage enJ has turned either black or green is washed Kith some solution which tends to re.-tore* tile natural color. It is positively known that by thawing out cold storage poultry in water before placing on sale a pain i«i weight is found of from 9 to 14 per -cent. By keeping poultry in. cold storage . mary months the consumer is compelled to "pay an exorbitant price for li. not only because it is kept from the market and the price thereby enhanced, hut al£O because he has to pay for an Increased weight brought about by the thawing out . process. Further, he ! is com pelled to nay even for the intestines, which, of course he cannot use. In a certain cold storage plant In this Kate th«re*were stored a short time ago vast quantities of beer liver. This liver appealed to- bo as black as coal and as hard a.-= s;'-:5«-. ■ . it amounted to hundreds of pounds. It' had been in cold storage for several month*, and I am told that in order to restore it to life it is placed In ■Rater, thawed! out- and purchased by the consumer as fresh" liver. Professor Herman C l.nsman told of a turkey which had been placed in cold norage on January 4. tNs, and taken out on February 24, 1910. and which, when thawed out emitted a disagreeable odor. The fkin, re said, stuck to the "oor.es. He also told of a chicken which had been stored only one month in a modern cold storage plant. While the chicken looked found, the professor said that a nauseous •MTch came from the entrails. He urged that when animals and fowl were put in Cd i storage the entrails should first be re rnnved. for without this precaution even a Short time In storage would result in much deterioration. He also said that such prod jucts should first be thoroughly washed. "They are not so washed. V. A. Adams, president of th# Union Ter minal Cold Storage Company of Jersey City, read a long statement in support of the argument of the cold storage men that they benefit mankind. The statement held ,*ha»-th* storage of. foodstuffs was a boon to mankind in that tin process enabled the keeping of food products which would otherwise go to waste until such time as there was a shortage. The cold storage, be paid, iras also a great help to the little re tailor: He declared that all foodstuffs sent to his warehouse were first inspected be fore being stored. This. he said, however, was for his own protection against claims lor stuff spoiling in cold storage HER KENTUCKY BLOOD UP. Hangs to Bridle Until Alleged Cruel Driver Is Arrested. A Em 01!

Kahn. of the firm of Kuhn, I.oeh & Co.. who was on the stand all day yes terday in the hearing in the government's suit to dissolve the Union Pacific merger, j expressed the opinion that the defence i would win. It was late in the afternoon j when C. A. Severance, of counsel for the government, reverted for a- moment to the : purchase of additional Southern Pacific stock to make up 50 per cent of the total In view of a proposed federal law, and ! asked: "By buying this 50 per cent of the South i crn Pacific stock didn't you expect to de . feat this suit?" No. sir," replied Mr. Kahn; ''we are confident that we Till beat this suit on its i merit?." '•'■»'■ On the subject of recent purchases of ; Southern Pacific stock Mr. Kahn said that I seventy-four thousand .. shares had been j bought by the Union- Pacific or the Oregon j Short in January. This purchase was I made on the advice of Judge Lovett, who ( now fills Mr. Harriinan's place in the : merger. •"These shares were purchased for the I following reasons," said Mr. Kahn. "A j bill, we were informed, was Introduced In ; Congress, or was about to he introduced, which would give the railroads that had 50 J per cent of the holdings of another rail competing or otherwise— the right to retain that 60 per cent, and, if they chose, ; to purchase the balance in addition to that { 50 per cent, while roads that had less than CO per cent had no such assurance. ' Southern Pacific Buying Stopped. "Thereupon, on the advice of . Judge : ! Lovett, it was deemed in the best interests | of the Union Pacific that its holdings of Southern Pacific stock should be increased ; to a total of GO per cent of the entire out standing amount of Southern Pacific stock. A few weeks :ater Judge L.ovett advised j the Union Pacific that the terms of the | biil as he understood them had been or were to be changed, and that the provision ; to which he referred and which was the ! reason for the purchase of the additional Southern Pacific stock would not go into the bill. The purchase of additional stock ' v.as thereupon stopped and no more stock has been bought." | It would have required 134,000 shares to obtain a one-half interest, said Mr. Kahn, and Inasmuch as S0;000 shares were sold ' some time last summer, before the death j of Mr. Harriman, the present holdings were only 34,000 more than • the original ; purchase. These shares are held by the Oregon Short Line. He said the total in terest of the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line in the outstanding capital stock I of the Southern Pacific at present was 4ti ■ per cent. Mr. Severance asked what was the neces- • sity of the acquisition of 50 per cent of Southern Pacific stock if, as alleged by the defendants, there were no competition be tween the roads. Mr. Kahn replied that j Judge Lovett would know more about that feature of the cage. When Collis P. Huntington died the Union Pacific was forced to purchase control of the Southern Pacific, Mr. Kahn said, in order to maintain and preserve connec tions to the Pacific Coast, a previous effort to purchase the Central Pacific having failed. For the purpose of financing the ' deal an issue of $100,000,000 Union Pacific \ convertible bonds was authorized. Only 540,000,000 was required, said Mr. Kahn. •'It was always Mr. Ilarriman's policy, however, to ask for more than was im mediately needed," he added. Early Contest with Hill. Mr. Kahn said another reason for the i large issue was the rumor that Hill in terests were going to purchase the Burling ton, loiter it developed that the rumor : was true. • ■"• f ■ •■ i "Mr. Hill and Mr. Harriman at that time were anything but-friendly," said Mr. Kahn. "Mr. Harriman was a newcomer and aggressive. After they got to know each other better they came to respect and admire each other." At that time, however, Mr. Harriman de termined to protect the Union Pacific, . ad served notice that the purchase of the Bur lington by the Great Northern and North ern Pacific w is- a hostile act. Mr. Kahn said it was for this reason that the pur chase of the control or the Northern Pa cific was made indirectly. He termed it a defensive act. He said if a monopoly had been planned 'the result could have been accomplished easily by the purchase of the Atchison. Coming down to the purchase of the (southern Pacific, the witness .said it had been made after counsel had advised that it was legal. "Your counsel advised you that the North ern Pacific purchase was legal, hut the Supreme Court decided otherwise." com mented Mr. Severance. •"The court was divided on that question," observed Mr. Kahn. Mr. Severance inquired at the afternoon ••• .^sioii about the proposition that hail been made to purchase the Rock Island. Mr. Kahn said Mr. Harrimaji had told Kubti, Loeb A Co. there was a chance to buy the Hock Island, but they had advised him i<j leave it alone, an he had enough on his shoulders. The wittiest said he didn't know what reason there would be for the pur chase of the Hock Island, except to obtain a monopoly la that country. "Except for Just what >ou are ace us i.ere," said Mr. Severance. H< seemed to consider the explanation made »y Mr. Kahn of the motivea tor the purchase of the additional 74,000 shares of Southern Pacific in January as evidenc< thai the road was looked upon ;.s a genuine ompetttor of the U:ii'»n Paciflc.

PJG^^^^^ COMPANY J*¥ MORE SEATS TO-DAY Subway to Put Plan of Its (hen in Effect Frank Hedley, general manager of the lnterborough Rapid Transit Company, has capitulated to the Public Service Commis sion. After maintaining that it was impos sible to carry out the order issued February 18, Mr. Hedley admitted yesterday that it was possible to provide a better service than has been Riven up to the present Ume. He went further ami declared that the new schedule, which he had prepared after a number of consultations with K. G. Con nette. transportation engineer of the com mission, would pive a better service than that provided for in the commission's or der. To give an opportunity to Mr. Hedley to chow that his new schedule will meet re quirement?, the - commission consented at a special meeting yesterday, to stay the execution of the former order until March 17. Instead of putiinsr in operation last midnight the order issued in February, the Interborough begins to-day a new service on the Hedley schedule, which calls for the following: Headway of one. minute and forty-eight seconds from 7 to 10 a. m. and 3:40 to 6:10 p. mi.; headway of two minutes from 10 to 10:30 a. m. and 6:10 to fi:4o p. m.: head way of two and one-half minutes from 10:30 a. m. to 2:.V> p. m. and headway of three minutes from 6:40 p. m. to midnWjht. •■- • v- This provides for a three hour rush -p«r vice in the morning, as' against on© hour and twenty -three minutes up to the pres ent, while, the evening rush service Is more than an hour longer according to the new schedule than that heretofore in vogue. The schedule as present applies only to express trains, if it proves satisfactory, however, the commission will Issue an or der to make it apply to the local trains as well. The company agrees to obey the other provisions of the commission's or der and at every half-hour period will supply enough trains to give every pas senger a .seat. Jn order to give a two and one-half min ute service between 10::,0 a. m. and 2:o*> p. m. the company purposes to run eight-ear ex press trains on the Lenox avenue line, hut will cut down its trains to five or six cars on the Broadway route. Itrsir NEW SI'BWAYS. Commission and City Heads Again Hold Conference. Another conference— the third so far held —took place yesterday at the office of the Public Service Commission between the members of that body and a special com mittee of the Board of Estimate made up of Mayor Gaynor, Controller Prendergast and J. Purroy Mltchel, President of th Board of Aldermen.. Details of ti>^ Broadway-Lexington and Broadway-Lafayette subway plans were discussed once more, hut i:o new subject was broached, according to the declarations of the conferrees after they had parted. Tho bill now in preparation by the Cor poration Counsel to provide that bonds Is sued for subway purposes shall not bn in cluded in the amount tixirifr the. debt limit was also considered as part of the whol« scheme. Chairman Willcox of the Public Service Commission said after the meeting t'nat he still believed public hearings on tlie new subway proposals would begin by April i. H<> was asked whether any significance was to be attached to his visit t'> the Mayor at the City Hall earlier in the day, followed by a visit from Theodore P. Shouts, president of the Intel borough Hapiil Transit Company. "Mr. Shouts and tii* commission have been frequently In conference since we had the company's second proposition before us," said Mr. WHI'-ox. "We have sug gested that the company in making any further proposition should endeavor to find out what would be a< ceptable, and we therefore sought to bring Mr. Shonts to m(i ni;»tt.-!s from our point of view. I have discussed th" two propositions of the [nterborough with Mayor Gaynor, and have bubinittcd to him map.! showing the com pany's proposals and our ! Ugg< stions. No proposition haa been received by ih* ■•'>m mtsxlon trom the Inter-borougli Rapid Tran ?«it Compan) ttince thai which we rejected last June." URGES BETTER PIERS. Collector Wants Cow for Passengers and Employes. Collector Loeb was In consultation yes terday with members of his advisory com mission regarding pier Improvements that have been recommended but have not so far been carried out, The commission has favored better facilities for passenger while waiting for the Inspection of their bapgnge, better accommodations for the customs employes, especially the cashiers, who are •'' prehent compelled to receive payment of duties on open piers, and heat in- apparatus on the piers 1 ! >" •*!*** ttu ■team shin poxtienger« mid others may l»o comfortable during tho long waits pending the 1 1 \< a-i of. hussa«e. "We klwiulj ii..v.. mure than '""' cashier on the piers of the big liner*," tae Col lector «aid last evening, "but there are no accommodations for more than one. All the other facilities recommended by th« commission should, in the Interest of the whole port service, be provided. It would be of more benefit to the steamship com panies than to the customs service, looking at the matte:- from a commercial point of view. Passengers will patronize the lines that take the best -are of them. We have had some assurances that the companies would consider the recommendations favor ably." The new Chelsea piers have been a boon to the customs officials on account of the modern arrangements provided by the city. There Is more room for the passengers, and good quarters are provided for the cashiers and inspectors, upon whose activity the passengers depend for quick release upon their disembarkation. There is little room on some of th© old piers; the inspectors are hampered by the crowding incidental to the landing of a steamship and the cashiers are jostled while making their collections. With improved facilities the present force hi the customs service could handle the business in two-thirds of the. time taken for the work nt present. This would ob viate the necessity of Increasing the force of men now In the Collector's department. MAXY WERE CALLED. But One Remained Who Wait ed in Vain for His $250. Kenneth I*. Wills recently arrived here from California with a bi«r roll c* Mil. tucked away In Ills pocket, with which 'lre expected to do something unusual. He ac complished his purpose last nicht. when S.'.V* was taken from him in a way that made him gasp. Wills told the story of how the money was separated from him, in ihe West .y>ili street .station. He salfi a man In a. hotel restaurant, where he wv* dining, sat down at the table with him and started a con versation. The stranger saw a styllshlj dr*'S;ed man passing the table in a few minutes, and remarked to Wills that ""that gentlemen is the proprkHvYtT ir " called the "proprietor" and Introduced Wills. Presently the stranger suggested that 'hey match coins for a li»tl« amusement. This they did. and from small amounts the stakes grew larger and larger. "Let's match f<r ji.fKjn." said the stran ger. Wills explained that he didn't have H.flW, but only ?2:«0, which he gave the stranger. Th« stranger, holding the money In his hand, excused himself while lie went out side to mert a friend. Presently the "pro prietor" also begged Wills'* pardon, for he was expecting a caller, too. Wills waited about ten minutes for th« two men to re turn, but unfortunately their •"friends" were better company than Wills. WILL LIMITS SONS' SALARIES.

Hotel Men Hear of Romance in Life of Vegetables. When the hotel men read that they were to hear a lecture on the theme, "Money: How to Save Some for the Proprietor and Coax It from the Patrons." there were those who turned aside and whispered something of coals and Newcastle. But the man who talked of it last night at a special educa tional meeting of the International Stew ards* Association in the Hotel Marlborough knew what he was talking about, and if he did not fulfil the dazzling promise of the, programme he showed them the ro mance of the lives of cauliflowers and mel ons and took some sly and pertinent pot shots at the high cost of living and those common enemies of present day mankind, tha commission merchants. The man was H. B. Fullerton. who runs some model farms for ill" Long Island Rail road in the woods this side of Mont He had a magic lantern and a set of pictures that for color would make a Hammerstehi grand opera setting look like the drawings the Sunday papers borrow from "Punch." "About everything we cat in New York," he said, "comes anywhere from five hundred to three thousand miles. The best experts in vegetable growing have been devoting them selves for twenty years to raising vegetables and fruit thai will taste good? Not 'at all. They want to raise stuff that will stand all the. banging possible and yet come to mar ket looking not more than half wilted, The stuff conies about as far. speaking commer cially, as it does in distance. It s°es through the hands of a whole arm.- of peo ple, most of whom take off what they wish for profit. "Don't believe for a minute, that we. can't raise all the country can eat for a good while to come. We haven't begun to learn how to raise vegetables here yet. Th. fanner thinks a carrot is a carrot; they all look aliko to him. You buy from a com mission man, and you take what he gives you, knowing. that most of the time you are getting half wood fibre. That is grand feed for livestock, but not just what you want. There arc about fifty kinds of car rots in the seed catalogues, and only two or three are worth anything. But the farmer plants them all. and th« commis sion men arc glad :o pa"»s them all on you.

When we tried to buy four-quart baskets we found we couldn't. You can't buy a quart basket for fruit, or a two-quart basket or a pack. You can gel a 'fake' quart, or a shy quart, or a skinned quart, or a Kansas quart or a Michigan quart, but not one them holds a quart of two fair pints.

Through the bravery of Patrolni.in Isaac Van Houten, a negro accused of murder was captured late yesterday afternoon within half an hour of the time of the ,'a a! shoot ing. George Jones and Henry Holy, both negroes, quarrelled in a barroom on Barren Island, which is three miles from s-'nore, in Jamaica Bay. Holly was shot, twice and. then Jones tried to get away. lie jumped into a launch which was tied to the short and tried to start the engine. Before he succeeded, however, the patrolman ran up and covered him with his stun. The negro, instead of throwing up his hands, produced his revolver and shot at Van Houten until he had no cartridges left. Fortunately bis aim was bad and itja officer was not hit. The negro escaped V.in Hou ten's bullets, as he had thrown himself down in the bottom of the launch. Meanwhile the launch had drifted some distance from the uhoie. Van Houten wanted to make suit: of his man. and there being no other way of get ting to him, he Jumped Into the water and swam for the launch. While trying to climb in he found out that tie i:e{,ro was as full of fight as ever. Notwithstanding the blows that rained on his ■,».
