 "The law as to the burden of proof in criminal cases may be stated also as follows: The evidence in the case must exclude any reasonable supposl- tion or hypothesis consistent with the innocence of the accused, if it does not do this. there is a reasonable doubt of his guilt ,,., with breaking and entering a building in the possession of E. c. Fredericks used as a place for the custody of nronerty. in the night season on De- cember 2s. 1907, with the intent to com init the crime of theft therein.
 "The elements of the charge are:
 "I That there was d building in the possession of E. F. Frederick used for the custody of property.
 "2 That the accused broke and en- tered that building.
 8. That he did this in the night sea- son.
 "4 That he broke and entered the huilding with the intent to commit the crime of theft there. Theft or larceny is the taking and carrying away of an- other mans goods from his possession with the intent to deprive him perman- entlv of his property without any right or chance of right. There is no con troversy as to any but the last ele- nent.
 'It would serve nc useful purpose for me to attempt to recount the evidence in this case or attempt to recall to your attention all the claims of the state or the accused as to the trust wortbiness of particular portions of the evidence.
 The evidence given in the case is con1pact and extensive, anc is fresh in your minds.
 Counsel for the state and the accused have discussed it. in all it's bearings with great ability, skill and earnest ness The decision of the question of fact and the value and weight to be l attached to the testimony of the wit ness is A matter entirely in your hands.
 "As I stated at the outset, the sole disnuted element in the crime charged for you to pass upon is this:
 'eThat the accused opened the back door of tine store on the night in ques- tion with the intent to commit the crime of theft in the store.
 If you find that this element has heen proven beyond reasonable doubt YOU will find him guilty. If you find that il has not been SD proven you will find him not guilty.
 In weighing the evidence the case you will consider the demeanor of the witnesses on the stand. the reasonable the case. and any bias. if any there was that any witness has shown in rega rj 10 the case. and the testimony of the accused should be weighed by the same i tests"

President Warren said in part; "In responding for the chamber of com merce, which was organized but ten years after the city in 1794, l believe there are many who think the chamber is so old that it is not doing anything. It is doing much" He then gave a number of instances of what the cham bcr is doing.
 He said only three mayors have held office longer than Judge Studley, which he took to be a high compliment to the merits of the man.
 It has been said here that the high. est compliment that can be paid is when we speak of a man as mana man in every regard. Judge Studley has been a man in all that it means and I think sometimes we don't comprehend all that it means"

Book Notes.
McClure's New Cover

The June number of McCyatrs's Magazine
appears in a new cover of formal design
which it is proposed to use as permanent
standard.
The function of a Magazine cover is
presumably to hold together and facilitate
the handling of the pages; but this fact
seems to have been very largely lost sight
of in the over development of cover
decoration which has taken place during
the past ten years The use of color and
of pictorial effects has become increasingly
extravagant with view to attracting at
tention on the news stands; until in the
midst of the riot thus created, nobody can
be heard.
For many years Mr.. Mcclure has sought
design for cover of his magazine
which would haye the dignity and dis.
tinction requisite to permanent use, and
after frequent disappointments, has met
with what he believes to be successful
cover in the design of Mr.. T. III. Cleland,
of New York, who has made an exhaustive
study of this particular problem. 1t was
necessary that the design should have
something of the classical distinction anc
formality of fine architecture, that i
might be said of this cover that it is thu
house in which McC1ure's Magazine dwells
The reproduction of pictures in colo
will continue to be a regular feature; bu
it is hoped that by combining this work t.
the inside of the magazine upon paper o
a more suitable texture, finer results will
be obtained.

organized base ball. Perkins started yes
terday afternoon for Tacoma, Washing
ton, where he will play in the outfield on
the team representing that city. 1t has
been said time and again that Perkins
should be playing in fast company. He
has good batting eye and can field any
position. He is known by his followers as
"Home run Cy," and when playing with
Mount Holly in the days of the Burling-
ton County League, saved many game
by his timely stick work. But the reason
for his not going into the big leagues. as
given by himself, is that having very
responsible positi6 and being settled in
Camden would not permit Of his leaving,
several fiattering offers to go away not
withstanding. The reason for his accept
ing the position on the Tacoma team is
that he has been advised to take change
of climate and slump in the business at
which he has worked for go many years.
The league to which the Tacoma team be-
longs Is the Northwestern and is six club
league. The teams are Tacoma, Spokane,
Aberdeen, Seattle. Butte, Vancouver BIC

Political Notes

A report from Burlington says tina
George Whomsley, of that city, has som'
idea of being candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for county auditor.
William P. Younker, of Lumberton,
will be candidate before the Republican
primaries for the nomination of county
auditor Mr.. Younker was a member OF
the Board of Freeholders for several
years and left that body with a good
record. He has sought to succeed Mr..
Worrell In past conventions and now
thinks he should be given consideration.
Tomorrow evening the Republicans in
this county will elect delegates to con-
vention to be held in the court house next
Saturday, at ten o'clock, to revise the
rules of the party The new law creating
direct primaries has made it necessary to
have at least two new rules-one to regu.
late the election of county executive
committee, and one to select advisory
committeeman. There are other matters
that will be given attention and the con
vention will be interesting and important,
so there should be full delegation.
The announcement of county auditor
William w. Worrell that he would be a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for sheriff, created somewhat of stir
throughout the county, and the comments
thus far have been very favorable. The
Trenton Times had an editorial on the
subject, which read as follows:
There are ten candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for sheriff in Bur-
lington county this year The county is
good for Republican plurality
of from 1 500 to 2, 600, and nomination
is, therefore, equivalent to election. The
latest candidate is William w. Worrell,
who served five years as county clerk and
seven years as county auditor, filling the
latter office so acceptably that in several
elections he has been unopposed for re-
election Naturally man with such a
record will have strong advantage now.
when the candidate for sheriff is to be
nominated in open primary, and the desire
of interested parties to get rid OF too
auditor will at least do him
no harm. In such big field and under
the conditions that exist it looks as if Mr..
Worrell might be an easy winner"

Fatal pleasure Outing.

Four persons, an entire family, were
drowned in Pensauken creek, near CHINA
minson, Sunday. They were William
EideIman, S8 years old, his wife, Eliza
beth. 80; his step daughter, Anna. II,
and his son, William, Jr., 8. Their boat
struck scow and upset. The father tried
to save the son and the mother the daugh-
ter, but all sank. A man was standing
close to the scene of the tragedy, but
thought at first that the drowning persons
were bathers in swimming. The current
is rapid at the point where the accident
occurred, and the channel is deep. 1t is
about five miles above where the creek
empties into the Delaware river.
The Eidelmans had determined to take
an outing to celebrate the completion of
payments on their home in East Pensau-
ken. They hired small skiff, which, it
is said, should not have been occupied by
more than two persons. They started
down the creek with the ebb tide. and all
went well until they neared the CHINA
minson bridge. At this point scow was
moored, causing an eddy to form. This
caught the skitf and whirled it against
the scow. In an instant the little boat
was overturned and its occupants strug-
Cling in the water.
John W. Cox, of Merchantville. was
sitting on the scow. fishing. He had not
noticed the skiff approaching, and when
he saw the four persons in the water he
thought they were swimming. He called
to Mrs Paul Bellange, of Cinnaminson.
who was on the bank, and directed her
attention to the supposed bathers. She
realized that they were drowning and be-
gan to scream. Just as Cox comprehend
ed the situation the Eidelmans sank. The
father tried to throw his son toward the
shore, but both went down. Mother and
daughter sank locked in each others arms
Mrs. Bellange ran to the Lyons Club,
nearby, and summoned aid, but 1t was
late in the day before the bodies were re-
covered They were taken to Morton's
undertaking establishment In Riverton.
An inquest will be held.

Gave np the Business.

T. J. Barrett, proprietor of Roeblings
Inn, has closed out his business, and will
return to his former occupation of stone
road contractor Barrett is the man who
startled other license holders throughout
the county by notifying the public that he
intended to live up to the letter OF the
Bishops law, and would conduct his bust
ness along as high plane of respectable
ity as possible.
Friends declare that Barrett assiduously
lived I'D to the rules he had set tor his
business, but under present conditions
found it impossible to obey the law to the
letter and make reasonable profit. Bar
rett will continue to conduct small hotel
at Florence, but will devote most of hi
time to the contracting business.
Members of the County Liquor Dealers
Association deny that Barrett gave up on
the discovery that the business could not
be conducted lawfully and at the same
time proftably. Barrett's novel notice
was, in part:
"To the wife who has drunkard for a
husband or a friend who Is unfortunately
dissipated, l say emphatically, give me
notice in person, and all such cases shall
be excluded from drinking at my place of
business.
II want it distinctly understood that /
have no desire to sell to drunkards,
minors, or to the poor and destitute. l
much prefer that they save their money
and put it where it will do the most good
to their families.
''There are men of honor and men Of
money who can afford it, and it is with
these that desire to trade"
Barrett lived up to the spirit of this no
tice and the consequence was greatly
diminished receipts, but very orderly
place The man who strictly obeys the
laws respecting the sale of liquor will find,
in a majority of instances, especially in
the country hotels, that the business will
not be profitable. THE News has more
than once made the assertion that it is not
possible for many hotels to make any
money if the laws are absolutely honored,
an assertion that has been laughed at in
some cases, but which seems to be affirmed
in this case. at least.

Mnsica1e at the Court House.

After day of its usual court routine,
the old Court House was startled to find
itself In full evening dress and the centre
of attraction last Tuesday evening, May
Goth. The occasion was the musicale
given by the Melody Quartette of Phila-
delphia for the benefit of the visiting
nurse fund of Mount Holly. The Quar-
tette, consisting of Louis MacNamara,
Mary Barclay, Ella Gilbert and Emma
Osbourn is well-known although this was
Mount Holly's first opportunity of hear
ing 1t.
The entire programme was consistent
and carefully chosen, and the encores
showed a discretion In selection which
added much to the appropriate whole.
The Quartette is well balanced and
sings with more expression than is usual
in group work. The phrasing of the
songs was especially well done and the
work was altogether musical and smooth.
The Rustic Dance" was perhaps the
most brilliant, and Last Night" the most
melodious of their numbers.
Mrs Gilbert won much credit for both
Mount Holly and herself by her solo,
''Sunbeams, and her encore. Her voice
is of wide range and her singing is easy
and natural. Her Interpretation of the
little lullaby was particularly graceful
and charming.
Mrs Osbourn, whose singing in the
chorus work was deep and resonant. sur
prised her audience by modulating her
voice to a mellow sweetness in her solos.
Her voice possesses softness, rare in a
contralto of such heavy calibre, and
which gives her unlimited variety in her
choice of songs. Her ability to vary her
style was proven by her beautiful render
ing of Sweet Genevieve" as an encore to
her solo, Spring is Here"
Miss MacNamara's lyric soprano is OF
great fiexibilitY and clearness. Her sing
ing is skillful and her runs and trills were
given with surprising ease. Her voice
has the lifting, floating quality which is
the charm of a high soprano, and her
highest note was musical and full.
Miss Barclay proved musical in two
we'll in the Quartette and
playing difficult valse of Schutt's on the
piano.
The Quartette was very ably assisted
by Miss Madeleine @. Raby, of Mount
Holly, who recited spiritedly and in a
very entertaining manner.
The concert as whole was an artistic
performance and benefit to the town In
two ways-first by aiding home institu-
ton whose usefulness is unquestioned;
second, by inspiring and encouraging the
spirits of the town to renewed
efforts on their behalf and to give hope for
more concerts to come.
