CAPT. WALLER ASSAULTED.
Fred Riley In jail in COnse.
Quence.

Capt. John Waller. sixty three years
of age, had an experience Saturday
night, which was not pleasant by any
means, and he does not wish it soon
repeated.
Capt. Waller had been about town
collecting rents, and about ten O'Clock
was going up North Laurel street,
toward home. His wife and daughter
were down town and when the cap
tain reached the corner of Washington
and Laurel street, he sat down on the
curb to wait for them.
While sitting there Fred Riley, who
is not unknown in the police courts,
came along with another fellow. Riley
discovered the captain, and with con.
siderable profanity demanded to know
what he was doing. The captain saw
that Riley had been drinking and an.
swered him pleasantly. Riley then &C.
cused him Of many disreputable acts,
and told the captain If he did not move
on he would kill him.
Capt. Waller reasoned with himself
that he was too old to be in a brawl
with drunken man, and attempted
to get up. While he was rising, Riley
drew back his fist and gave him q
staggering blow upon the cheek bone.
The captain attempted then to raise
himself and make off, but Riley
planted stunning blow upon the
head, which threw him back several
feet, and knocked him fiat. In falling
Mr.. Waller also badly skinned his
elbow.
A gentleman happened to be near
him and witnessed the assault and In.
formed Capt. Waller who his assailant
was. In consequence this morning
complaint was. made and Justice Wells
issued warrant and Riley was ar
rested. He admitted his guilt and was
held In 5000 bail for Court, In default
of which he was sentenced to jail.
Riley has been before the Court be-
fore on similar charge and it is not
unlikely that he may be severely pun
ished for this manifestation of pugilistic
abilities.

THE ROUTE DETERMINED.
Trolley Cars VIII Run Out Broad
Street.

The Rapid Transit Company will 60
to the Tumbling Dam with the trolley
road. This has been determined, and
work will be pushed forward, Just as
rapidly as it can, in conjunction
with the other lines through the
streets of Bridgeton
The track will be laid through the
Cumberland Nail & Iron Co. s grounds
west of the Race. and bridge will be
built across Jeddy's pond, from Law
renee street.
The route has been determined
upon after careful deliberation upon
the part of the officials. There were
three ideas in view in reaching Law
renee street from the intersection of
the line at Broad and Atlantic streets.
One was up Broad street hill to Frank
lin, through the latter to Commerce
and out Commerce to Lawrence. An
other plan was to continue the track
up Broad street to Giles, thence to
Commerce and continue to Lawrence.
But the third plan is the most feasible
and has been agreed upon by the CON-
pany, and will prove benefit to by
far a greater number of people than
either of the other plans.
One track will continue out Broad
to Lawrence, and then through Law
renee to the new bridge and continue
up to the Tumbling Dam.
This will be as satisfactory to most
Commerce street people as If the line
went through either franklin or Giles,
and will be much more popular from
the fact that it will accommodate all
of Broad street, and that part of the
town South of this thoroughfare.
Then the number of visitors to the
Broad street cemetery is very large,
and the line as determined upon will
take people directly to the gates. 1t
also will accommodate many visitors
to Overlook cemetery.
The Traction Company will have
their line operating between Bridge
ton and Millville, very early in July.

BORDEN's PATENT BANG.
The Marvellous Success of q
BridgetODlan's Invention.

Many PEOPLE of Bridgeton will re.
member Mr. James Y Bordeo. They
will also be gratifisd to know of the
remarkable success Of an invention of
his, and of which he is the manufac-
turer. Mr.. Borden is hair specialist
and his invention ia the "James Y.
Borden patent bang"
On July sth, 1890, Mr.. Borden took
out his first patent ion the Borden
bang, and in September last he pat
ented the improved bang, referred to
in the heading Of this article.
This bang is admitted by physicians,
as we'll as hair dealers, to be the best,
lightest and most perfect bang In
existence.
When Mr.. Borden began to make
these goods at 1910 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, three years ago, himself
and wife and one girl were all that
were employed in the business. Such,
however, has been the popular favor
accorded the invention that now he
occupies the spacious and handsome
parlors and workrooms at 1914 Chest
nut street, opposite John Wana-
makers, and employs fifty girls.
His parlors are thronged with custo-
mers and he does q large and con.
stantly growing mail and out-of-town
business.
By reason of the lightness of this
bang it has received the high approval
in medical, as we'll az in fashionable
circles and has been recommended by
the Homeopathic Convention which
was lately held in Atlantic City.
The conveniences of the bang can
be appreciated at a glance; it can be
dressed over into any of the popular
styles in a few minutes and costs no
more than the ordinary bang. Its
merits outweigh those of all its COM
petitors.

Cotton Manufacturing in the South.


When the manufacture of cotton fabrics was
first established in New England the British
mill owners scoffed at tho idea of effective
competition by the United States, and pre-
dicted failure because Of unfavorable climatic
economic and industrial conditions In g
of these fanced obstacles the cotton mauufac-
turing industry of the United States is rap
idly advancing to the point of equality with
the British manufacturers, having already
reached the two-thirds mark. When cotton
manufacture was first begun in the South, New
England manufacturers assumed practically
the same position taken formerly by their
British competitors. How rapidly the industry
is advancing in the South, in spite of unfavor-
able predictions. is shown by an analysis of
the census statistics.
In 1880 the South contained only 667,7
spindles out of the total of 1868, 435 in this
country-little more than six per cent.-while
the spindles in the South in 1890 numbered
1,712,930 out of total of 14,0SS, 103, or mora
than IL per cent. In the 10 years the capital
in the Southern cotton manufacturing industry
increased from $21. 976, 713 to $751; 124, 096; the
hands employed from 2O.527 to Al, 4s1; the
wages paid from s3,5l7;115 to So, So. 514. and
the value of the products from S21, OBS zig to
$4697I 500. The number of looms increased
from Ia, 1923 to 1921. The South produces 26
per cent. of all the sheeting made in the United
States 36 per cent. of the ginghams and Al per
cent. of the yarn.

Senator Martins Case.

A caucus of Republican Senators was held
Monday in Washington, and was presided over
by Mr.. Sherman. Neither Mr.. Stewart nor Mr.
PETER was present, although they were given
to understand they would be welcome. The
Republicans recognized the fact that they were
in the minority, and discussed the line of
policy that should be pursued in the future.
There was no attempt to interfere with the
reorganization of the Senate by the Democrats.
In the case of Mr.. Martin, of Kansas who
was sworn in, the Republican members of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections con-
ferred with the Democratic members and came
to the conclusion that Mr.. Martin was, on the
face of his credentials, entitled to his seat
The question Of the legality of the certificate
was matter that could be opened at any time,
and this sgreement accounts for the absen ce of
any protest against Mr.. Martins performing
the functions of a Senator. The Republicans
at the caucus to-day decided that the question
whether Mr.. Martins seat should or should not
be contested was one that must be decided by
the Republicans of Kansas. If they insist upon
an investigation into the matter the Republi-
cans will conduct such an inquiry in the Sen
ate; but. on the other hand if the members of
the party in the State from which Mr.. Martin
comes are not content, no other steps will be
taken in the Senate.

HISTORY OFsOUR FLAG.
Adaptation Of Washinstcn's Coat-of- Arms
as Uncle Sans National Emblem.
I

AuaptafIOn OF WaSn1uStCnS COat-OI-Arfnf
as Uncle Sans National Emblem.
Evening Ne,cs.
History records the fact that the origin o.
our National flag was taken from the coat Of
arms of the ancestry of Gen. Washington
which was formed of stars and bars.
In 1775 the flag of the american Colonies .
was the British Union with the crosses of ST
George and st. Andrew in q red field. with 13
bars alternate white and red, and was display ed
at New York City On a liberty pole with the
inscription, George Rex and the Liberties OF
America" This flag was displayed by Wash
ington upon the nights before Boston upon
his assuming command-in- chief Of the com.
bined armies Of the Colonies on the I'd of JAN
uary, 1916
After the Declaration of Independence of
that year. the first National standard was con-
structed in Philadelphia, under the personal
direction of Gen. Washington and a committee
of the Continental Congress. 1t contained only
IL stars in circle as but 12 States had ratified
the Articles of Confederation.
On June Ia. 1777, the Continental Congress
resolved that "the flag of the 13 United States
be Is stripes alternate red and white; that the
Union be IL stars, white in a blue field repre-
senting new constellation"
In 1894, on the admission of Vermont and
Kentucky, the number of stars and stripes was
increased by Congress to Is, and a star and q
stripe were added on the admission of each
State until 1916 when Indiana came into the
Union. On that occasion the Hon. Peter H.
Wendover, of New York, introduced resolu-
." to inquire into the expediency of altering the
flag" it having become unwieldy and dispro.
portionate.
The honor of designing the present forna.
tion of our flag belongs to the late Capt. Samuel
Chester Reid. of New York, the gallant com.
mander of the brig of-war Gen. Armstrong
whose heroic battle with a British squadron at
Fayal in 1914 shed such renown and luster OIL
the American escutcheon. 1t was happy
coincidence that the hero who had fought one
of the most desperate and bloody battles of the
seas in defense of our liberties under the old
flag should have been the designer of the new
one.
While the committee had under considera-
ton the proposition to alter the flag in January,
1917, Capt Reid, being in Washington, was
asked to submit permanent design for the
flag. He proposed to reduce the stripes to 13
to represent the original States, and to add o
star to the Union for each new State admitted
Congress finally adopted this design by an act
passed March 81 1913, to establish the flag
of the United States" which was approved by
President Monroe April A, 1913.
The first flag Of the present design was made
by the wife of Capt. Reid, assisted by some young
ladies, ut her house on Cherry street. in New
York City, and was first hoisted on the Capitol
on April H. 1918, when Mr.. Clay was Speaker
of the House.
The last lineal male descendant of Capt Reid
is his son, Col. Sam c. Reid, now residing in
this city, who is q veteran writer for the press
and lawyer of eminentlRbility.

The Feeling in Hawaii.

Opinions in Honolulu as to the course that
will be taken by the United States are as
diverse as the many factors in Hawaiian poll
tics. The American and German interests in
Hawaii strongly urge upon the Government
at Washington the necessity of protecting the
business interests of the Islands by annexiDg
them. The native Hawaians are divided, On
one side being an innate love for royalty,
affection for Princess Kaiulani. now being edu-
Gated in England, and pride in native institu-
tons; on the other side desire for greater
prosperity and greater enfranchisement, which
would follow the inauguration of republican
rule as one of the American States. The Eng
lish sentiment against annexation is not so
strong as that which prevails against the idea
of the Hawaiian Republic. IT. however the
United States should now for any reason or in
any contingency decide to advise that re-
publican form of Government with native
ruler succeed the dethroned monarch, the
opinion is freely expressed that millions of
capital would be drawn at once from her. and
native business interests, such as they are,
would be forced to struggle against steadily
growing competition of Chinese and Japanese
throughout Hawaii.
