charge to the April Grand Jury to-day
Justice Voorhees,, who presided for the
flrst time in the Burlington Cotnty
Court, called attention to the violations

Dryden to be the Chairman.

Contrary to some reports that have
been put in circulation, the selection
of former United States Senator John
F. Dryden to be chairman of the Re-
publican State Convention will not be
in opposition to the desires of Governor
John Franklin Fort, but in conformity
with his desire, as was expressed in a
telegram from the Governor to the
former senator last week, following
the conference with the State Com
mittee.
In the message the Governor stated
that he would like to see Mr. Dryden
the man, and expressed the hope that
he would accept the position. The
Senator sent reply, in which he said
that he would be glad to accept the
post, but only on condition that it was
offered to him with substantial una
nimity.
Both were mentioned as possible can
didates for chairman. Mr.. Dryden is
said to have told both the Governor
and Mr.. Hillery that if they desired the
place they need not hesitate out of any
consideration for him, because he was
not ambitious for political preferment,
and was devoting himself to business.

That MauricetG Wn License Az
plicatiOn,

Mauricetown people as community
are absolutely and almost unanimously
opposed to the granting of liquor Ii
cense for that hotel The application
was made in the name of Howard Gar
rison, of this city. 1t is said that the
signers upon the application are not at
all representative. Not single one of
the signers, it is alleged, live in the
town OF Mauricetown proper The
protest against the license embraces
practically all of the sentiment of the
village. The hotel has not been opened
for some time, and the Mauricetown
folks claim there is no demand for the
house whatever. There are three other
licensed houses within four miles of
Mauricetown and the people there
think that is enough.

Myrtle Takes 10 day Sentence.


Myrtle Ford, notorious woman
was. before. Mayor Hampton Tuesday
night charged with disorderly conduct.
She was mixed up in the row on South
Pearl street at o'clock Sunday morn
ing when Elwood Bailey and the Stout
girl were arrested. Last night Mayor
Hampton sentenced Myrtle to ten days
in jail and she went over to the prison.
There Mrytle spoke pretty plainly. She
said she was no worse than the Stout
girl and yet the latter had been allowed
her liberty for at least two weeks. The
Stout girl, Myrtle said went from City
Hall Monday night on good behavior
and an hour after was upon the street
carrying on in the same disorderly
manner as she usually does. Myrtle
evidently feels that she is being made
victim for all offenses and she is not
entirely satisfied.

Big Protest Against Bottlers.

When the applications for bottlers'
licenses come before Judge Tuller on
Monday, they will be confronted by a
monster petition praying the Court to
withhold licenses from these people.
The W. G. T. U. is to do practical
work in this regard. A systematic
effort is to be made by this organiza-
tion to canvass the city for signers to
protesting petitions. That these petit
tions will be signed byshundreds is GER
tain. There is absolutely no sentiment
for the licenses to be granted. The
public generally is wholly opposed to

JURY GIVES
VERDICT OF $3.50.

The ''Terrapin case'' which has so
long headed the List of Causes in the
Cumberland County Courts does not
come up at this term. Judge Endicott
called the list, and receiving no answer
from any attorney, he declared it off.
The suits Of Benjamin F. Thurston,
Administrator, Geo. W. Doughty, Ad-
ministrator, and John F. Gallagher,
Administrator, against T. G. Wheaton
q Co., to recover damages for those
deaths which were caused by the big
factory stack of the Wheaton glass
works crashing down on them, a year
or SO ago, have all been set for trial
next Tuesday. John W. Wescott, Esq,
of Camden, appeared for the plaintiffs
and E. A. Armstrong for the defendant
company.
The case of Grover G. Richman, ad-
ministrator, against his brother, Alfred
G. Richman, showed in its trial that it
was an effort on the part of the admin
istrator to recover for personal property
belonging to the estate which had been
taken by Alfred G. Richman, and used
up OK disposed of by him while tenant
of the farm.
The farm belonged to their mother,
Elizabeth Richman. When the father
died Alfred took charge Of the farm
near Malaga, by arrangement of the
children. He was to pay the mother
SIS per week, pay taxes and leave upon
the farm the value of the personal
property found thereon when he took
it.
The farm was sold on portion pro-
ceedings and Alfred purchased the
farm. The claim was that Alfred had
used up the personal property, and sold
Fit together, and after the mothers
death, refused to make it good'' to
the heirs, and this suit is to recover
this, estimated at $492. These facts
were brought out by Grover Richman
on the stand.
There were twelve children in the
Richman family, and they were pretty
much all in Court.
Miss Kate Richman was the third
witness called. She said she was 18
years old when her father died. Att
family meeting after his death, it was
agreed, she said, that Alfred should
take the farm, stocked as it was, pay
to their mother S. per week and pay
the taxes on the farm, and to make
good the value of the stock-the per-
sonal property-either in cash or like
property when he left the farm.
At the conclusion of the plaintiff
side, Mr. Schwackhamer made motion
for dismissal on the ground that the
plaintiff had not established the owner
ship of Elizabeth Richman in the prop
erty The motion was denied
The defense was that the property
was properly used upon the farm and
sold at a public sale to pay the debts
on the place.
Harry Richman, the Oldest brother,
testified to this; the sale took place
when Richard, who took the farm at
the fathers death, left it. He stated
that Alfred took the farm when Rich
ard, the other brother left it.
The brothers and sisters were about
equally divided in their testimony be-
tween the two brothers plaintiff
and the defendant.
Alfred, the defendant, on the stand
declared that he had paid over the
assets properly to Harry, for the heirs,
as they came into his hands and what
was used up on the farm was properly
used for the benefit Of the stock, and

s2s,S9O 50 FOR OUR SCHOOLS

County School Superintendent John
N Glaspel has sent to the Bridgeton
Board of Education the following
letter, a similar letter being sent to
each Board of Education in the courlty /:
Bridgeton, N. j., April %, 1908.
To the Board of Education of Bridge
ton:
Just prior to the annual meeting in
March, you were advised by the County
Superintendent to postpone making the
appropriations for the coming school
year until after you had received def
mite information as to the amount of
State aid your district would receive.
This advice was given for the reason
that, owing to the uncertainty as to
the amount of State aid, your district
might appropriate Ia larger sum than
was needed
The appropriation by the Legisla-
ture of 1906 of the increase in railroad
tax to the support of public schools,
was intended to increase the efficiency
Of our schools and to relieve the tax
payer Of a portion of the burden Of
local tax
Your district will receive in the next
apportionment of State moneys the
sum of $s1, 593. 50, including 81, 29e. 81
railroad tax, 1905, making total of
sS8 So. The amount apportioned
from the railroad tax can be used for
any of the current expenses of the
schools The sums apportioned from
the State School Tax and from the in
come of the State School Fund can be
used only for teachers salaries, fuel,
tuition fees for pupils attending schools
IN other districts. and for Transports
tion. e
None of the money apportioned from
tne railroad tax can be used to pay any
sor the expenses of the year just closing
or tor any debt incurred prior to July
J. next; nor can any part of the State
moneys apportioned by the County
eupeflntendent be used for building
iopdlrlng purposes.
Yours respectfully,
j. N. GLASPELL,
County Superintendent.
Last year the city actually received
ITO IRON the State for school money $1s, :
ao.oI. There should have been $s,-
500 * more, but this amount was not
tecelved because the railroads held up
paylng the tax. This required the tax
payers OF Bridgeton to raise for school
purposes the sum of $sS, S92. 13, the
~ ,o.sa amount asked for by the Board Of
Naucation was $36, 10000.
inis year it is estimated the Board
