TROOPS TO ENFORCE
STATE LIQUOR LAW
Governor Fort of New Jersey
Threatens Residents of
Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, N j., Aug. 27.-The
action of Governor Fort in threatening
to send troops into this famous resort
to enforce the state liquor laws un-
less the people of Atlantic City OBJ
serve the law, caused a sensation to-
day among the residents and sum-
mer visitors.
Another sensation was sprung at
Mays Landing, the county seat of At
lantic county, when the grand jury
absolutely refused to obey the instruc
tions of the court and return indict-
ments against excise law violators.
Supreme Court Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard, who had been requested by
Governor Fort to sit with the county
Judge, was so incensed at the action
of the grand jury that he instantly
discharged it with q severe reprimand.
The governors proclamation was not
wholly unexpected, as there had been
rumors for days that he would resort
to the calling out of the militia if
necessary to enforce the excise laws.
Assistant Attorney General Gaskill,
who is here assisting County Prosecu-
tor GoIdenburg in the excise cases,
saws the governor can call out the
troops, although it is an unusual pro-
ceeding.
Last Sunday the saloons and cafes,
with but few exceptions, conducted
business as usual.
The jurors returned late in the after
noon and presented three indictments,
two against an alleged gambling house
and one against man who is charged
with selling obscene postal cards. Jus
tice Trenchard read the indictments and
finally threw them on his desk and
said:
'T note that you have not presented
an indictment for the illegal sale of
liquor on Sunday. The assistant attor-
ney general of the state and the prose-
cutor of the county have informed the
court that they have placed before the
jury evidence which justifies indict-
ments in such cases. AS no indict-
ments have been found, it seems to be
an indication that this grand jury has
failed in the performance of its duty.
The court is forced to say that consid-
ering the instructions of the court, the
sented, you grand jurors have failed in
the performance of your duty and have
violated your oaths of office to the state
of New Jersey. You are discharged for
the term"
. Foreman Salus instantly arose and
took exception to the remarks of the
court
''As grand jurors we feel no RESPONSE
bility. We are willing to stand before
God and say that we feel that we have
performed our duty and have not yio-
lated our oaths. We represent the will
of the people of Atlantic county. We
feel that we are supreme and without
affront we feel that no person. however
clothed with power of office, has a right
to rebuke us in this manner"

COURT RECOGNIZES
DOODLE DEE PARTY
Decision Requires Mayor to
Name Two Members on Board
of Election Commissioners
independence Leaguers Plan
Proceedings to Gust Two of
Present IncumbentS

Through a decision of the supreme
court yesterday which was concurred
in by Justices Beatty, Henshaw, Lori
gan and Shaw, and opposed by Justices
Sloss and Angellotti, Mayor Taylor will
be required to appoint two Independ-
ence leaguers to the board of election
commissioners The minority opinion
rendered indorsed the findings of the
majority, but dissented as to the writ
of mandamus.
The suit was brought by the 1nde-
pendence league on the grounds that
the independence party had polled the
second largest number of votes cast
at the last state election and therefore
was entitled to representation on the
board of election commissioners in ac-
cordance with certain provisions of the
charter. BY majority of two the su-
preme court sustained this plea, but the
minority opinion rendered opposed the
issuance of the mandamus writ until
1t had first been proved that the ap-
pointments already made We're illegal.
Election Commissioners Cameron H.
King and c. L. Apperson were made
defendants in the action on the allega-
tion that they had been appointed to
fill vacancies which should have gone
to the independence league. BY unani-
nous decision the suit, in so far as 1t
involved these defendants, was dis
missed.
There was great rejoicing in the
camp of the doodle dees last night over
the decision. Attorney Hugh McIsaac,
Hearsts political representative on the
Pacific coast, was particularly exuber-
ant.
I'VE regard the decision as a big tri-
umph for the independence league y
said McIsaac. TT establishes us off,
cfally as the party next in strength to
the republicans in the state and gives
the sanction of the law to our claims.
The procedure in execution of the
writ will be very speedy. The decision
of the supreme court gives to the two
candidates to be appointed from the
independence league legal right to
their seats. Then the next step will be
an action to oust King and Apperson
from their seats, and in view of the law
as laid down in the present decision of
the supreme court there can only be
one result-the reinstatement into Of
fee of our men.
Il do not think Mayor Taylor will re-
fuse to make the appointments. We
will furnish him with a list of names
of members of our party from which he
can make selection, and whoever he
picks will begin the contest suit for
the office"
Mayor Taylor had not had time to go
over the petition thoroughly when in
terviewed last night.
Il must refuse to discuss the matter
until I am more familiar with the con-
tents of the decision the mayor said,
When / have had time to understand
the purport of the writ 1 will announce
what my course will be- he declared.
Cameron H. King, one Of the members
of the board of election commissioners,
whose appointment will be contested
by the independence league, said:
'I have not had time to go over the
decision in detail. but I wish to say
that 1 shall not sacrifice my rights
without a contest and will fight in the
courts for everything to which I am
entitled"
