These statements were vouched for

tective agency which was called In to

cialty of gathering evidence for di-
vorce cases.
Arrests Wait on Death.
1t is declared by the manager of the
detective agency that remarkable
condition Of affairs has tied the hands
of the police and that only the death
of Roberts will allow them to make
arrests and prosecute tho man and a
woman confederate named by Mr. Rob-
erts in his antemortem statement.
Before making his statement Mr..
Roberts is said to have exacted a
pledge from the hospital Dhvsfcians
and the detective representing the po-
lice department that no action would
be taken in the event of his recovery;
that the matter of dealing out punish.

MOB RIFLE IS
RESENTED AT
ATLANTIC CITY
Best Element is Making Efforts
TO Prevent Adoption Of Rssu-
IutiOHS Against Fort.
MIGHT CAUSE REACTION
The Republican Ring is Fighting
Hard TO Prevent
Defeat.

Atlantic City, Sept. Powerful
MOTEL and business men, who object
to the mob decision to condemn Gov
ernor Fort, made at last Monday
nights town meeting" have brought
the utmost pressure to bear to pre-
vent the adoption of resolutions in
which it was intended that the execu-
tive should be taken to task for his
closing of saloons last Sunday. Sober
heads OF the hotel and business inter
ests realize that any attempt to open
ly condemn Governor Fort would
probably result in reprisals that
might prevent any attempt to restore
an open Sunday at any time during
the governors term, and they are
using every influence known to local
politics to prevent the adoption of
resolutions that might reflect the
real Atlantic City attitude toward the
governor.
Members Of the special committee
named to draw the resolutions will
meet tomorrow in the oflee of City
Solicitor Wootton, head of the com
mtttee, but 1t Is understood that the
arguments of big men Of the resort
will result in innocuous resolutions
that Will placate the head of the
state government rather than arouse
his ire. Heads of the Royal Arch,
official organization of the saloon
keepers, are ready to surrender to
the edict of Governor Fort closing
the saloons and the fight has now
narrowed down to political control
of the resort
KuehnIe Stands Firm.
Louis Kuehnle, backer of the Stoy
boom for reelection, still refuses to
meet members of the Citizens Com
mittee who desire change in local
government unless Bob" Delaney
and other political rivals are left out.
Kuehnle claims that he is able to
elect Stoy In the face of the revolt of
decent citizens against present condi-
tions, and will carry on the battle
from this standpoint.
Joseph Salus, foreman of the grand
jury discharged by Supreme Court
Justice Trenchard, and candidate for
mayor against Stoy, has refused to
make any statement regarding his
candidacy, or to state what will be
the action of the powerful city busi-
ness league, of which he is president.
in the coming fight. The refusal of
" ts@NCl - AAAGC " ettCCPg lAO AOnilu-
alton Of the Independents has left the
reformers without candidate, and
they will probably turn to the demo-
Gratis for a man to run against Stoy
and his hackers.
Democrats Turn to SpedeI.
Former Fire Chief Charles M.
Speidel, president of the powerful
Royal Arch organization of saloon
men, has been brought forward as
the probable candidate for mayor by
the democrats today. Speidel is the
man who forced closing OF the sa-
looms last Sunday in the interests of
peace with Governor Fort, and has
the confidence of practically every
man In the business in Atlantic City.
Heads of the republican ring, who
fear that Speidel's popularity among
the people might make him a danger
GUS candidate, are taking every
means in their power to head off HIS
boom, but independents in both
parties are promising Speide1 their
support.

Governor Fort Is Incensed.

Sea Girt, Sept. 3:-Governor Fort
Is said to be much incensed at the
statements used in Atlantic City and
in some few newspapers that he said
Atlantic City was 'saturnalia of
vice." and sink of iniqufty" Jo-
seph w. Salus, foreman of the late
grand jury, who scored the governor
in a speech Monday night, said that
the eecutive lied when he used the
terms and libeled Atlantic City. That
Mr.. Salus and the Atlantic City peo-
pie have not even read the governors
proclamation he says Is evident, for
in no interview, statement or procla-
nation has he used any of the ex-
pressions credited to him, they hav-
ing originated In the brain of some
newspaper correspondent.
In what is considered an official
statement here, but given out by the
governors secretary, that official said
today: "The statement made at the
Atlantic City meeting that the gov
ernor in his public statement and adj
dress to the people of the state spoke
of conditions at Atlantic City as a
Saturnalia of vice and crime is abb
solutely false; and any one who read
the statements carefully VIII attest
to that fact. The governor has new
er said any such thing, and it is evil
dent that this Is being done to preju-
dice the people of Atlantic City.
Those who made this statement show
ed on the face of 1t that they had not
even read the governors proclama-
ton, but had taken sensational re-
ports about It. The truth of the
matter is that the governor praised
Atlantic City In many ways in his
letter to Mayor Stoy, which made up
part Of the proclamation

A GermlesS Milk.

Van Camps is germless milk.
Every COW is inspected-so are the
men who milk them. No tubercular
cows, no diseased milkmen, convey their
infections to Van Camps Milk.
Our diaries are sanitary. Our factor
les, where the milk is evaporated, are
built without wood. We make bust
ness of cleanliness.
Then the milk is sterili1ed after the
cans are sealed. Not germ Of any
kind can remain in it.
Compare that with milkmans milk.
A single germ, left in milk few
hours, breeds millions of others like it.
So there are myriads Of germs in every
drop Of raw milk.
If the COW is tubercular, there are
germs of consumption. If the milk cans
are washed in impure water, there are
germs Of typhoid.
If the milkman is diseased, or the
dairy uncleanly, the infections are
bound to be conveyed in the milk.
A very large share Of the illness in
the world 10 known to be due to milk.

Grace Peters of Oakland. but the plan
fell through. and Cockerill was married on
shore and came aboard two hours later
to attend his friend as best man. The
unusual ceremony attracted much atten-

enlisted personnel Of the service now il
held.

Whole, Rich Milk:

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein
milk, with two-thirds the water evap-
grated. Nothing is altered, nothing add
ed-no sugar, no starch, no preserva-
tive.
This is not like condensed milk, which
is half sugar. Van Camps is nothing
but milk.
Analysis will show about 80 per cent
Of solids, Of which per cent is butter
fat.
Compare that with milkman's milk.
Milk that stands awhile separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall.
So you get one kind of milk from the
top of the milk can-another when
served from the middle. From no part
of the can do you get the whole milk.
That's why raw milk never gives in
cooking the flavor you get from Van
Camps.
