Rogers Breaks Out Anew.

The Hon. Maurice Rogers of Camden Is
again to the front. such genius as he
possesses is very difficult to suppress 1t
is like the spring on the mountain side;
do what you will with 1t, you cannot
keep 1t down. You may choke it up with
soil and rock and think that at last you
turn away thar up 1t comes to the sur
face again-though in some other spot.
perhaps-and on it flows as lively as ever.
For some time there has been an i'm
preston in this State that the Hon.
Maurie'' had been completely squelehed.
His enemies once thought that he could
not be saved from oblivion by the noble
spectacle which he presented when ne
marched into the Senate Chamber with a
copy OF the Revised Statutes in one hand
and his life in the other. while the min-
ions of BILLY Thompson lurked in the
angles of the State House. ready to shoot
him down-with cuss words-in the stormy
days Of the two Senates.
But they were mistaken.
sMaurie" has broken out again-though
in another spot-and he is carrying on
nyelier than ever.
Mr.. Rogers, 1t will be remembered, is a
prominent member of the so-called pa
triotic association, the Junior Order Of
United American Mechanics, Ind almost
everyone. without much effort, can re-
call the effort he made some time ago to
use that order as a stepping stone to the
G-ubernatorial nomination. The order was
paraded at Asbury Park, and "Maurie."
g~orgeously bedecked in red. white and
blue silk. rode at the head. astride a
magnificent bay charger, several sizes too
large for him, which was the most adj
mired feature of the parade. The att
tempt failed. There were some people in
the State who could not reconcile their
Interpretation of the institutions OF his
country with religious or race distinc-
lions in politics, and when the Y
ton met, ''Maurie" and his strictly Amer
lean platform were lost early in the
shuttle.
The State organization of this same or
der is now making a bid for notoriety by
seyering all connection with the national
body and starting to organize a new
national council. MIR. Rogers was elected
TO the chief office In the State organiza-
tion and was placed at the head of the
committee appointed to perfect the plan
of secession.
Some people in Camden, who are ac-
auainted with the Zion. Maurie' and his
way OF doing things politically, declare
that this is simply another attempt of
that gentleman to get back into politics
and n more try at the Gubernatorial
nomination on the old know nothing
platform" At any rate. it proves that
the Camden statesman is a hard man to
XIII. The hardest men to kill are always
those who won't stay dead. If Mr.. Rogs
ers keeps on coming to life until 1949, there
may be a chance of his achieving his
ambition about that time.

fire alarm was given by Police Officer
Judge, who discovered flames in tht
Richardson block on the first floor il
rear OF Richardson's and King, Kier &

progressed was hardly comprehensive
for in FIVE minutes the entire building was
burning mass from cellar to garnet.
Not piece OF paper or stick of wood was
saved from the entire contents of the
building. Eagle block adjoining was
completely ruined, the roof falling in,
and everything on the upper stories
burned. Charles Morse's block on Mid
die street was completely destroyed with
the contents. Mr.. and Mrs. Morse were
awakened by the window falling in with
a crash, and the bed was on fire as the
children were snatched up.
1t took three hours OF the severest
fighting to control the fire, which threat
ened every building on the street. The
fire was so hot as to break all the glass
on opposite sides or the street and burn
the clapboards and castings to a cinder.
The origin OF the fire is unknown. Losses
and insurance so far as can be estimated
are as follows:
Lancaster National Bank, Richardson
block, total loss. insurance $500.
Mary M. Clough, Eagle block, almost
a total loss. insurance $4,000.

The White Star line steamship Oceanic,

1t is said that her builders expect the
Oceanic to cross the Atlantic in four and

about 700 tons of coal day on the trip
All that they will say oil her expected
speed is that they look for her to be

a week for trip in all weathers. The
movement toward the building of big
ships both for ocean and lake traffic is
constant, and the White Star line will
have in the Oceanic the biggest of all
passenger vessels, while at the same time
they have in the Cymrc launched in
October, the largest of freight steamers
The A'ric, a sister ship to the Cymric, is
nearly ready to launch. The first reeu.
