MOVE TO DIVIDE EXETER Charges of fraud, theft and betrayal of confidence were made specifically In tiie Hurlein meeting, and Senator Cliauncey M. Depew was denounced as a dishonest man. One man who arose from his seat In the auditorium said that If Depew ever came up for any office of honor or profit he would be opposed to the uttermost. pany in Old Tins. It was announced last night by I)r. Edward Hill Baldwin of Newark,-president of the New Jersey board of health, that there could be only one solution of the affair, and that was for the regents to agree to admit duly registered New Jersey practitioners to equal privileges with their professional brethren on this side of the Hudson. Not even the funeral procession of ?rinee Troubetskoy, on whose coffin was a wreath of orchids sent by tho czar, was exempt. The vast crowds of workers and students who followed that was scattered like chaff as it ueared the Nikolai railway station, to which the body was being taken for shipment to Moscow. Testimony Taken Before Stenographer Last Week. Dlsappotnted over the action of the DuPont Powder Co. In refusing to make an allowance of ten cents for empty powder cans Instead of eight cents, delegates in convention here this afternoon representing all the keg funds in district No. 1 decided they would utterly destroy all empty tin cans rather than sell them back to the company at eight cents per c\n. pany officials had been entrusted, When the session was called to order this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock it was the order of business to continue the discussion on the adoption of a constitution and by-laws. The delegates were anxious to hear the report as to the price of powder tins, however, and a motion was adopted that the rules be suspended and the committee requested to report. The report was a verbal one and was given by President T. P. Melvln and Secretary Morgan. It was to the effect that they had had an interview with Mr. Belli), representing the powder company, and that he had given them to distinctly understand that the company would not pay more than eight cents for empty returned powder tins. Mr. Belin was quoted as saying in defense of his company's position, that they could not afford to pay ten cents, inasmuch as they could get brand new tins delivered at their powder mills for a fraction less than 11 cents each. The cost of hauling old empty tins to the mill, of Inspecting, repairing and painting them, he said was such that the company could not afford to pay any more than eight cents for old tins. Pennsylvania has never been included as a state in the census report of vital statistics because of ihe lack of system of collecting births and deaths and the causes of deaths. Such statistics as have appeared In these reports were from the larger cities and boroughs, where the United States authorities secured the data from tiie mortuary records. There were at least ten repnesentatives of the New York Life, the Mutual Life and the Equitable in the opera house audience who were invited to get tip and offer a defense, if they could, of the methods now under investigation by the Armstrong committee, but there was no response, though Dr. Mac-Arthur made a personal appeal to men he recognized. Petitioners Want llir Town Divided In- to Two Separate Boroughs—Great This situation is due to a.controversy which has been waged for several years between the medical authorities of the two states. New Jersey has no medical colleges of her own and sends her young men to institutions in New York city and Philadelphia to earn their degrees in medicine. Heavy forces of troops were held lu readiness ull day in the courtyards of the liarraeks and in the squares in va rious parts of the city to deal with any disorder. Array of Talent at First Hearing Ijast Friday— Town' Will Vote on Sewer Question. The Amalgamated Association of Keg Funds of District No. 1, U. M. W. of A., held a special convention in Clifford's hall, this city, today. The convention Is being held for the purpose of adopting a constitution and by-laws and to hear the report of a special committee appointed at a previous meeting to consider the price paid by the powder companies for empty powder tins. The convention was called to order this morning by President F. P. Melvin, of Providence, and about 46 delegates responded, representing keg funds in territory extending from Forest City to Mocanaqua.Morning Session Chief King, of the division (if vital statistics in the census bureau, says a close watch will be kept by the federal authorities on the operation of the system which has been devised by •the new department of health, because of the Importance of Pennsylvania. Chanted Revolutionary Songs. Exeter borough people are considerably Interested In steps which are being taken to divide the town Into two separate boroughs. The initiatory movement was made some time ago by citizens In the upper end of the town, who petitioned court for a division of the town. The first hearing in the case was held in the town hall at Exeter borough last Friday afternoon. when testimony was taken by W. J. Kilgallon, stenographer. Besides a large number of interested citizens, the following were in attendance: Attorney John Farnhain and George Hartman, for the Taxpayers' Association; Attorney Charles B. Lenahan, representing the Exeter school district; Attorney Anthony T. Walsh, representing the Exeter town council; Attorney W. 1. Hibbs, for the petitioners; Supt. Steele, of the Temple Coal & Iron Co., and James M. S'orrlr., for the t.ehlgh Valley Coal Co. The entire session was devoted to taking testimony as to the valuatlon of the proposed new borough, the number of houses, number of Inhabitants, and number of freeholders. Adjournment was made to meet at the same place next Monday afternoon. The plan submitted by the petitioners is for a division of the borough at Packer avenue, near Frankel's hotel. From the Nevsky prospect a band of students and workmen carrying red flags and chanting revolutionary songs marched across the river and begun au open nir meetlug iu the square in front of the university. While the speeches were lu progress the police again charged aud dispersed the crowds. One workman aud a student Dr. Peters in outlining the objects of the meetings, which are to contiuue nil winter to discuss subjects of popular interest, said that the Investigation up to this time had revealed a most shameless perversion of the funds of policy holders, many of whom had deprived themselves of actual necessaries to keep up their Insurance payments while officers who.were drawing sal aries three times as great as the salary of the president of the United States were riding around in automobiles. Hetiulrements for a certificate to practice in New .Jersey were raised in 1908, Hie health board of that state asserts, to equal if not slightly exceed in rigor those of the New Y'ork regents. The health board of New Jer sey then sent a request that New York indorse the new certificates. These statistics will be of great value to Chief King because Pennsylvania contains one-twelfth of the population of the United States; represents the varying degrees of population from the third largest city in the Union down to the sparsely settled rural districts, and presents the greatest diversity of occupations. Each Side Stubborn. The crowd took refuge lu the uui versity buildings, and the meeting was continued there without being disturbed by the police. . were sabered The regents have made it a practice never to indorse any body, not even New Jersey lawyers, and as a result there followed an animated controversy. Each side spoke of the other as stubborn, and after negotiations had been conducted without any hope of settlement medical dipiomati-- relations were severed. Big Thief Better Than Small One. Statistics for this department will be gathered by #50 local registrars, who will be appointed by the commissioner of health, and they will receive a fee of 25 cents for every birth ami death returned by them. Secretaries or other officers of local boards of health, as provided In the registration act, will have the preference In the making up of these appointments. The entire morning session was taken up with a discussion of the constitution and by-laws. The law committee had the matter in hand and submitted a draft of rules, and these were in turn taken up by the convention and discussed and amended or adopted, section by section. When adjournment was made at noon the convention had under consideration article 3, of the cohstitutlon, which specified the officers of the association and required a bond from the treasurer and chairman of the trustees. The law committee consists of Daniel Coleman, of Taylor; John H. Williams, of Plttston and Edward Stradford. "We have beard a great deal about small families." said Dr. Peters, "but when we read how the millions were distributed in the McCurdy family it is perhaps a fortunate thing there were not a dozen sons Instead of what there were. I really thought the distinguish ed senator from this state, who holds no life insurance policy in the company from which he draws $20,0tMi a year, would make an explanation, but he didn't. The lesson held up to our young men in these revelations is that it is better to be a big thief than a small thief. If you steal a dollar the world will kick you. but if you steal a million the world will be glad to be kicked by you. The principle of life insurance is all right, but all these companies should be governed by directors who direct and who should not be decoy ducks. During the annual school festival of the fifth gymnasium members of the audience began to hiss the national hymn. A panic eusued, and the excitement was augmented by the explosion of giant firecrackers, -Many persons were bruised, but no one was seriously Injured. This unfavorable reply from the powder company was a bitter disappointment to the delegates, and they manifested their feeling by taking decisive action. A motion was presented that on and after November 1st, 1905, all miners represented by the keg funds of the association should destroy their empty powder tins. A thorougli discussion was given the question before it was voted on. Some of the delegates had been Instructed by their local keg funds to vote against a proposition to destroy the tins, and these delegates argued on the advisability of taking such radical action. The motion was finally put' before the meeting and carried by about a two-thirds vote. Another motion was adopted that the secretary be instructed to notify the powder company of the action that had been taken. By this action today many New York physicians who have been in the habit of establishing themselves at New Jersey summer resorts for two or three months of the year will be most uffected. Before tliey can do so hereafter they will have to qualify by passing an examination in New Jersey, and it will not be a very easy Hereafter when a person dies or Is born the attending physician will fill out a certificate upon a standard form and send It to the local registrar, by whom it will in turn be sent to the state department of health. There a card Index will be made of the certificates and the certificates bound in volumes for permanent future refer- Treaty of Peace Signed.

The revenue of the various local keg funds Is derived mostly from the sale of empty powder tins. When a miner buys a keg of powder he pays for the powder tin and contents, and when the powder Is used he gives the powder tin to the keg fund, which in turn sells it to the powder company. Previous to this year the powder company has always paid ten cents for each empty powder tin, but some month.* ago reduced the pi ice to eight once, The department will also analyze these death certificates to ascertain the cause of death; the relations of death to occupation; the relation of death to si'X, and the relation of death to certain age periods and locations. In order to secure accurate information from which these analyses may he used, a pamphlet has been prepared upon the duties of physicians In making proper certificates of births and deaths. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Spencer Eddy, the American charge d'affaires, officially Informed the foreign office that the emperor of Japan ratified Uie Husso-Japuuese peace treaty Saturday. Another matter In which Exeter borough people are Interested Is the proposition to sewer the town. A movement is under way to lay a sewer on Wyoming avenue, which is the main thoroughfare of the town, and later extend It to other thoroughfares. The question of bonding the borough In the sum of $20,000 for sewer purposes will be submitted to the voters at the general election on Nov. 7th. there Is a division of sentiment among the people of the town in regard to the proposed sewer plans, and the vote on this question will be one of the leading issues at the fall election. wore N «*\v venge.

New York specialists who may he summoned to consultation with their New Jersey brethren will not have to be examined. The French minister at Tokyo at the same hour Informed the Japanese government that Emperor Nicholas had signed the treaty. Most of the delegates had been given full authority by their locals and they were in favor of taking further steps to clinch the previous action. The convention then decided to recommend ' that all miners, when they go to the powder house, should demand and positively refuse to purchase only powder that Is packed In new tins. I)r. MacArthur diverged slightly from the muln issue in his Introduction. He maintained that investigations into in Burance crookedness were a hopeful sign. To illustrate how the people were breaking away from ancient tra ditions of party fealty he Instanced the case of Governor Folk of Missouri and Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia.

Mr. Packard Dead. BRICK SHIPPED FOR BROAD ST. PAVE This was a big blow to the finances of the keg funds, and the matter was taken up by the Amalgamated Association of Keg Funds, as representatives of the various funds. The association at Its meeting last July referred It to the executive committee, with Instructions to Interview the officials of the powder companies and endeavor to have them increase the price on empty tins to Its former figure—that Is, from eight to ten cents. It is expected that the work of the convention will be finished without continuing the meeting until tomorrow, and, if necessary, a session will be held tonight. After the powder tin matter had been settled, the convention took up the work of adopting by-laws. Boston, Oct, 16.-—Rev.
