Will the Orders Be obeyed?
There is some speculation as to
whether or not the majority of the
dispensary commission and the
banks and trust companies will re-
fuse to obey the orders of the court.
1t was indicated by NJ. Rountrce, OF
counsel for the commission that it
would refuse to obey. Mr.. Rountree
said that in making such a state
p1ent be meant no disrespect to the
court, saying that the commission
could refuse to obey and that the
matter could be taken up. He said
that presumably the court would
hold the commissioners in contempt
and made some suggestions as to the
most convenient place to hear tie
contempt proceedings.
Attorney General Lyon Talks.
Attorney General Lyon was great

action. In an interview he said
among other things:
"Judge Pritchard's order will most

from the prospect of being kept fol-

BANK PRESIDENTS SUICIDE.

M. ID. Magee Ends Life.

Manasquan, N. Morgan Delan-
cey Magee, president of the First Ma
tional Bank OF this place, shot him
self in the head while standing on
the beach at the Manasquan Inlet,
near here. He evidently planned that
his body should fall into the sea and
be carried out by the tide. Instead,
it collapsed on the spiles. Following
the suicide the bank closed its doors
by order of John and James Terhune,
the principal stockholders and direct
ors. They have no reason to believe
the bank is in financial trouble, but
decided to close 1t for a few days to
prevent possible run. Roger Ma
gee. son of the banker, found the
body.
Mr.. Magee was forty-nine years
old. He was a native of Matawan,
and was for many years a clerk in
bank there, and all his life had been
connected with the Terhune banking
interests.
