Abandoned Her BABY,

Miss Ethel Phillips, granddaughter of
the late Congressman Samuel Forker, of
Burlington county, was brought to the
Mount Holly jail, on Thursday afternoon,
from Toms River. having confessed to
abandoning her two-weeks' old baby. The
infant was found Thursday evening in
the ruins of burned barrel factory at
Pemberton.
Sidney G. Harris, a prominent Toms
River business man, married, aged about
80 years, was arrested and held under
81 800 bail by Justice jeffrey, at the in
stance of Prosecutor Brown.
The woman was arrested at Toms River
on her arrival from Pemberton. She had
been employed in bakery conducted by
Harris and had lived at Harris home with
himself and his wife. Some weeks ago
she left the village and was not seen again
until the night of her arrest.
Being seen to get off one train with the
baby and to get on the next train without
it. the authorities were soon notified, and
LAWYER Blanchard H. White, Ticket
Agent Prickett and Richard R. Lippin-
colt found the babe. Prosecutor Brown
was at once telegraphed and by the time
Miss Phillips reached Toms River a war
rant was out for her arrest. The consta-
BILE found her in Harris home. Afterward
she made signed confession and Harris
himself was arrested on three charges,
one of them being adultery.
Harris has been in business in Toms
River for about fifteen years, is a prom
inent worker in the Presbyterian Church
and Sunday school. and one of the organ
izers and leading members of the Toms
River Board of Trade. A week ago he
sold out his business and announced that
he was about to leave for New York.
In her signed statement Miss Phillips al
leges that Harris is the father of her two
children, both of which she tried to aban-
don. Constable Thompson says the feel
ing ran very high against Harris, his ar
rest causing much excitement.
Miss Phillips is the daughter of Mike
Phillips, of Bayville, who is said to be
the oldest surfman on the New Jersey
coast.

Base Ball.

Mount Holly met with defeat on Satur-
day, and while it may be rather severe
criticism it is nevertheless the truth that
the defeat was deserved. Mount Holly
had its opponents outplayed until the
ninth inning and then the home team
went to pieces. Mount Holly has a fine
battery but the pitcher seems to think his
duty has been done when he sends ball
to the batter. Three times when left
handed batter faced him, the first baseman
was compelled to play off and in each in
stance he fielded the hit. If the pitcher
had covered the base the man would have
been put out, but in each instance he stood
and looked. The first baseman of the
visitors had a neat trick of pretending
he had the ball and would attempt to fool
runner. In one case he caught Perrin
chief mapping and before the latter could
recover himself he was run down between
the two bases. In the ninth inning two
damaging errors allowed runs to be scored.
In another case the pitcher ran to catch a
fly ball that belonged to the catcher, no.
body coached and the ball was not caught.
There is lack Of headY playing. There
are lot of points in the game besides
simply fielding and batting. The Mount
Holly team has good material and ought
to play good ball but it will have to wake
up If it desires to win games. Second
base is very weak, and there is an absence
of team work. Get together and play the
ball for team records, not for Individual
scores.
Charles Coles, of Lumberton, while
playing ball on Saturday, met with an
accident. He was at bat and a ball hit
the stick, and glanced off striking Coles in
the eye, completely closing it and requir-
ing the services of Philadelphia oculist.

Of Interest to Autoists and Others.
The last legislature amended the law
regarding the carrying of lamps on auto
mobiles, so that it is necessary now to
light up half hour after sunset instead
of an hour as heretofore The law reads
as follows:
every automobile shall carry, during
the period from thirty minutes after sun
set TO thirty minutes before sunrise, and
whenever fog renders it impossible to see
long distance, at least two lighted lamps,
showing white lights, visible at least two
hundred and fifty feet in the direction
toward which said automobile is proceed
ing, and shall also exhibit one red light
visible in the reverse direction. Upon
the fronts of the two aforesaid lamps
showing white lights shall be displayed,
in such manner as to be plainly visible
when such lamps are lighted, the number
of the registration certificate issued in this
act provided, the same to be in Arabic
numerals not less than one inch in height.
A bill was introduced to compel all
carriages and wagons to carry lamps
similar to those used on automobiles, but
it failed to become law. Drivers, while
not compelled to display lamps, feel more
satisfied with lamps than without them.
A man was hauled up before the courts
of another state last week, to answer a
charge of not giving an automobilist the
proper amount of room to pass. The
auto was coming behind the team and the
driver of the latter got the idea that be
was not compelled to turn out. The law
of New Jersey provides that drivers of
carriages, sleighs or sleds, whether of
burden or pleasure, using any of the
turnpike or public roads in this state,
when met by another carriage, sleigh or
sled, shall keep to the right, and when
overtaken by carriage, sleigh or sled,
they shall likewise keep to the right, so
as in both cases to permit such carriage,
sleigh or sled either met or overtaken, to
pass free and uninterrupted. OF course
automobiles are not mentioned in this act,
as it was approved before those vehicles
were in existence, but itapplies to them just
the same, and drivers who do not accord a
reasonable portion of the road to auto
mobiles are liable to fine

Political Notes

THE News Is authorized to announce a
new candidate for Sheriff on the Repub-
lican ticket, William W. Worrell, County
Auditor, having decided to enter the con-
test This decision is not that of haste,
but the subject has been under considera-
ton for the past three weeks. Nor has
the determination to become a candidate
been one altogether of Mr.. WorrelPs seek
ing. For some time many Of his friends
throughout the county have asked him to
allow the use of his name, but he felt
that the subject needed thought on many
sides. After carefully weighing the ques-
ton and after consultation with persons
In various townships he reached the de-
cision announced. The arguments used
by the friends of the Auditor are that
there seems to be a chance to change con-
ditions in local affairs in all departments.
The position of Sheriff will hereafter be
one of salary and not of fees, and the In
cumbent will be expected to institute
many reforms that may be put In opera
ton to the benefit of the county. Mr..
Worrell already has a record as an eco
nomical official, and one who does his duty
with sole view of aiding his county. 1t
Is this record that has caused his friends
to believe that he will make good Sheriff,
and on that basis they are going to urge
his nomination.
William Miller, Freeholder of North
Hanover township. is credited with being
the first Democrat in the county who has
openly announced himself as a candidate
for Sheriff, but William T. Bags, of Bev-
erly, has been named In connection with
the position for some time, possibly
without his consent.
The voting machine will not bother the
residents of the first district of Northamp
ton any longer. The Secretary of State
ordered it sent back to him and now the
zone hundred voters" who have been in
different or otherwise because CT its pre-
sence will be able to exercise the privi-
leges of citizenship.
A call has been issued for convention
to be held in the court house on Saturday
of next week, June 6, for the purpose Of
revising the rules of the Republican party.
The new law providing for direct pri-
maries has rendered some of the rules of
the party void.
