Held For Bad Woods Fire

Chief Fire Marshal Marcus F. Smell on
Tuesday made the first arrest under the
Forest Protective law, which has become
of general interest in this part of the
State. In April last William Hennis,
Jr., was burning brush on the farm of
his father in company with Morris Dang
Ter at Vineland. The fire got away from
them and burned over 1000 acres of land
belonging to Rev. G. F. Garrison, the C.
X. Lands estate, F. G. Pratt, j. K.
Green and others.
The Hennises and Dangler were ar
rested and given a hearing before Justice
of the Peace Jones in Vineland. The
defense claimed that reasonable care had
been exercised we the fire, but a whirl-
wind scattered the fire beyond their con-
troll. Justice Jones withheld his decis-
ion in order to investigate the question as
to whether a nan may be accounted
criminally careless to set a brush fire
during the forenoon, when the wind is
generally known to be freakish.
The new law provides q penalty of
$1,000 fine or three years in Jail, or. both,
as the Court may decree.

Who Pays The Freight

President Roosevelt's trip is going to
cover a great many states and occupy
considerable time. If he is compelled to
pay for the splendid train in which he
travels, the trip will prove quite a tax
upon his purse; if, on the other hand,
the railroads foot the bill it will probably
be upon the people, for the railroads do
not give favors without expecting favors
in return.-Commoner.
A hard working farmer asks The Ne
braska Independent who pays the ex-
penses of the long trip that President
Roosevelt is taking. He says: "The cost
OF this trip must be enormous Has con-
gress appropriated the money out of the
taxes paid by the people?"
The Independent says that a quarrel
having resulted among railroad officials
out in San Francisco one of them while
in angry mood told some things that will
enlighten the said farmer and many 9TH
ers as to who pays the expenses. This
railroad man, Mr.. Kruttschnitt of the
Southern Pacific, having for that road re-
fused to contribute anything toward the
local expenses of entertaining the presi-
dent, put up as an excus that the presi-
dental train was being hauled free as
well as the junketing train of the local
politicians who 60 out to meet the presi-
Dental party and that the company haul
cd the trains containing the militia COM
panies free also; and further that the road
would not contribute.
Mr.. Watkins, who had the entertain
ment of the president in charge, said
that he replied to Mr.. Kruttschnitt s.sthat
as the president is the representative of
q client of the Southern Pacific which
pays to that corporation between $780,
900 and So, OOO, 600 annually for hauling
troops, freight and mail, a free ride to
such Q customer was not an extraordinary
courtesy"
The moral of this little tale is that the
roads that get large contracts from the
government amounting to millions of dol
lars a year and which expect to get more
of the anne kind in the future, furnish
the special train free and that the locali-
ties that the president visits pay the 9TH
er expenses. This places the president
and those who accompany him in the
position Of public paupers, supported by
the railroads and the gifts of those whom
he visits.

OF G. DRYDEN
BASEBALL HUMORIST

North Americans Star Sporting Writer Has
Been Describing Game Since l8S0-Started
In the West-Has Been BY Tufns Sailor.
Angler. Iron nouJdef and War Correspondent
Among the special writer's who give
The North AmeyicaH sporting department
it's distinction none is better known than
Charles Dryden.
Mr.. DRYDEN has been called the George
AIDE of baseball. His humor is as fresh
and spontaneous as that of the famous
author of Fables in Slang. Hisinimitable
reports Of baseball games are entirely
characteristic. Nobody writes like him,
nobody gets the same infectious twists
and turns of merriment, and none of his
imitators has succeeded in reproducing
the entirely unforced effect. For the last
thirteen years Dryden has classed by
himself in this particular branch o. news
paper writing.
In 1889 he made his first essay as q
baseball wit. This was in Chicago. He
wrote I'D q game in imatatiOn OF stIit-
ed, archaic phrase of Bible language.
It scored an instant hit, and in a short
time all the prominent papers OF the
West were bidding for his services. For
seven years he staid West, changing be-
tween San Francisco and Tacoma. In
1896 when W. r. Hearst bought the New
York Journal. he secured the services of
Dryden. When he had been less than q
year in the metropolis he had his memoir
able quarrel with Andrew Freedman.
He was shot out Of the New York grounds,
but kept up q long-distance fire Of raillery

Farmers Talk Phones


At the meeting of the Gloucester Coun-
ty Board of Agriculture at Mullica Hill
on Tuesday. The question of telephones
for the farmers were discussed. The
women thought it would be s'real nice''
to have them, while the men believed it
would be best for the farmers to own a
system themselves. Warren Atkinson
thought it would be too expensive, and
William Hoffman believed there would
be more in such q system than potatoes.
The San Jose scale was also thoroughly
discussed. Warren Atkinson had some
fine new white potatoes on exhibition
and there were several boxes Of sample
strawberries.
