Excise Cases Heard

Consideration of 224 excise cases oc-
cupied the attention of the Grand jury
at Mondays session but no indictments
were returned against the hundred or
more license holders named in the COM
plants.
Private agents of the Lords Day Al
lance, who it is said, gathered evidence
of the violations, were present at the
session, and were called upon to sub
nit their testimony docu-
ments containing the names and address
es of license holders whose places they
visited, and where they purchased liquor.
Magistrate Hughes was present at the
Court during the entire SESSION, but was
not called upon by the Jury; he waited
in the witness room all day, with bulky
documents and cumbersome books.

WHERE LIABILITY ENDS

Two opinions were on Tuesday render
ed by the Supreme Court in two Allan
tic City suits which are Of interest to
trolley patrons. In the damage suit of
Mary Robertson against the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad, it was establish
ed that when passenger signals car
to stop at a street stopping point the
car goes beyond it and passenger
alights and gets away from the ear. but
slips on the street and is injured by fall
ing against the ear, such passenger can
not obtain damages against. the companx,
for the relation of passenger and carrier
had ceased to exist when the passenger
alighted from the car and stepped away
from it.
In another suit, that of John Ewing,
against the same company, the passen-
ger alighted from the ear on a platform
and walked from the platform to the
street, afterward trying to cross the
tracks short distance ahead, and was
struck and injured. The court held that
the relation of passenger and carrier
ceased when be aighted from the train

is SUBURBAN HISTORY
TO BE A REPETITION?

A current of uneasiness pervades coun
.ty officialdom, which is due to the tardi-
ness of Mr.. Robert c. Wetherill, presi
dent and owner of the Suburban, to sign
the $4,000 bond that should bind he
and his company to pay one third of-the
cost of surfacing Shore Road. Judge
Higbee, according to newspaper articles.
has advised the FreehoIders to revoke
the paving contract in consequence of
Mr.. Wetherill's lack of good faith. In
addition the County's solicitor has ex
pressed himself in favor of returning the
road to the various municipalities so that
they may take united action that will
compel the Suburban to recognize that
an agreement is a matter of honor.
1t is difficult to predict the outcome of
the action advised by Judge Higbee, ex-
cept that the history of the relations
between the Suburban and the munich
palities uoes not lead one to believe in
its present or ultimate success.
Pleasantville has been especially I'M
fortunate regarding all business relations
with the Suburban. Thousands of doll
ars have been spent to compel as much
as recognition of the franchise under
which the road is operated, but the peo
pies money availed nothing. The town
has for years been plaything in the
hands of the Suburban's owners and,
while it has been enriched by way of in
creased realty values, it has been i'm
poverished through expecting the full
filment of promises that proved to be
worse than worthless.
1t is hoped for the welfare of this and
other towns along the line of the Sub
urban that Judge Higbee's advice is well
seasoned and that it may, if carried out
become more prolific than many words
of legal wisdom that have been listened
to-

SCHUYLER ADAMS SHOT
BIGGEST DEER THIS YEAR

Deer hunters of this vicinity denounce
in most emphatic terms certain pro-
visions of the game law, particularly the
section which relates to the shooting Of
spike bucks. They say that it is i'm
possible for a gunner to distinguish
short horns while an animal is in mo-
tion.
The warden Harry Loveless, Of Tren-
ton, who caused the arrest of Mr.. L. H.
Barrett and his party on the first deer
shooting day, has been indicted by the
Grand Jury on two charges. one of these
for removing deer's earass from the
county where it was shot, the other for
removing the only evidence that an ami
NAL had been shot.
Shot 2z5-Pound Buck
Schuyler Adams made a record shot on
Wednesday when he brought down the
largest buck that has come to town.
Deer hunters say that it was about five
years old, according to the antlers.
Schuyler's buck weighed about 225
pounds gross and l341s pounds minus all
its trimmings One load Of buckshot
fired with smokeless powder wounded
the deer, one shot going clear through it,
but the animal did not stop running at
that Owing to the absence of much un-
derbrush Adams was able to overtake
his buckship that although mortally
wounded, was still trying to get away.
Schuyler drew his revolver and the bull
ct went through an eye and the struggle
was over.
In addition to tie success of Adams,
two more bucks were brought to town on
Wednesday, one by L. H. Barrett, the
other by grocer j. 0. Hoffman.
William Champion and Elias Campbell
succeeded in shooting one deer apiece,
but as they did not kill them in their
tracks the animals lost themselves. Al
most every gunner is opposed to the pro-
visions of the law which prohibits the use
Of dogs, as they say that many animals
are wounded and get away to die, where
as if dogs could be used the deer could
be found and extravagant waste avoid

ball in Mt. Pleasant hall, Thursday eve
ming by the Wisteria five of Atlantic

very weak at team work and passing.
! Each man seemed anxious to do it all
himself. Each Midget played a brilliant
game individually but this style of play
loses many games. Captain Glover play
ed a great game at center, Ware and
Fenton shot well at forwards an dthe
guard work of Souders and Schmidt was
very good. This was the Midgets' first
game and great things are expected of

tors. The first half ended with the
score I to in favor of the Lyalls. The

during the first half and did not get
much chance to shoot. Moore and Ad-
ans played an exceptionally good game
at forwards, as did Ware in the second
half. Dan Adams, our little center play
