ATLANTIC CITY MAYOR.
Law and Order League Continues its
Crusade by Having Him Ar
rested.

Atlantic City, \. j., September 4
The crusade against the Sunday SELL
ing Of liquor in this city came to a
sensational climax late this afternoon,
when Mayor Franklin p. Stoy was ar
rested upon i warrant charging him
with ignoring a notification from State
ATTORNEY General Wilson ordering aim
TO enforce the Sunday closing law.
Mayor Stoy, following the serving Of
the warrant, went before Magistrate
Hughes and entered $4,000 bail for a
further hearing next Tuesday.
The technical charge which has
been brought against the mayor is
lnisdemeanor in office for alleged fail
ure to enforce the Sunday laws. The
warrant was served by E. c. Ham, son
If the Rev. s. H. Ham, secretary Of
the New Jersey State Law and Order
League. The warrant was sworn to
by James Stilman. an agent OF the
local reform organization.
The order of the Attorney General
was issued about two weeks ago, but
Mayor Stov maintains he was not
served legally with the document, and
therefore ignored it.
The move of the reformers has
caused considerable speculation as to
the course that will be taken by the
saloon keepers tomorrow.
Eight detectives brought here to-
day are busy tonight endeavoring to
secure evidence against alleged gamb-
ling houses. They are under orders
10 close every gambling den they find
open.
Atlantic City. \. j., Sept. 5.-At-
lantic City ignored the attempts of
the reformers to close down the Sun
day liquor business to-day and, bar
ring Sunday baseball, the resort was
as "wide open" as on any former
Sunday Of the season.
The decision to allow the saloons
to open was reached by the political
and official heads Of the resort at mid
night last night when the action OF
the reformers in causing the arrest OF
Mayor Stov for failure to obey the
order of Attorney General Wilson had
removed the alternative Of saving the
tlead Of the city government by clos
ing the saloons today.
Rev. Birley Hudson, leader OF the
ministerial coterie Of reformers, de-
elared tonight that the failure OF
Mayor Stoy to close up the city today
will result in further action against
him. Special detectives made a Gil
s;nit Of the city saloons and more war
~a1ts will be issued on their testimony
for additional arrests next week.
The State detectives brought here
by Prosecutor Goldenburg to break
up gambling have driven nearly every
gambling house out of business.

memory OF his irst wife. MT. Rogers
built a beautiful home in Fairhaven,
and many OF his happiest hours were
spent there. Mr.. Rogers interest In
his old town became so deep that a
few years ago he accepted the office
OF superintendent OF streets, a post
which paid him SO a day. II Is estl-
mated that Mr.. Rogers spent fully
100000 or bis own money on the
streets and roads or Fairhaven. The
sewers and waterworks also were built
largely with his money Last year he
carried his patronage TO the extent OF
giving the teachers in the public
schools 81. 900 each for their vacation.
He built a beautiful three story Ma

Church OF the Messiah.
Mr.. Rogers had come In for his share
Of the trouble that has arisen for the
standard OIL men out OF the federal
and state agitation against the com
pany. Mr.. Rogers testified In the pro-
ceedings that were brought against the
company by the state or Missouri. and
he had said that be was ready to ap-
pear as a witness in other actions
whenever his testimony was needed.
Mr.. Rogers was a man OF striking
appearance He was also a man OF
great geniallty. He was always fond
OF a joke and knew how 20 crack one.
He was once asked how be managed
10 succeed so well in the world. He
replied:
by working as hard as anybody I
ever saw or read about"
In 1897 Mr.. Rogers, at the behest OF
a representative OF the Danish gov
eminent. brought 70 the attention OF
the federal government the fact that
Denmark desired TO sell TO the United
States the Danish West Indies. The
outbreak OF the Spanish war stopped
the negotiations at that time, and this
brief connection OF Mr.. Rogers with
the matter was made the basis OF SEN
sational stories which had Mr.. Rogers
owning the United States senate.

MEREDITH'S LOVE OF AMERICA

about me in England. People seem to
feel II right 10 congratulate men who
live TO be eighty, though they really
should not. What It means when a
man. lives TO be so old is either that he
is greedily tenacious of life or else that
be is so Insignificant that the fates
have passed him by. 1t IS a misfor-
tune to live to be eighty. A mans
life ought to finish when be is Eve and
sixty. He must stop working then or
else do work that is inferior People
will praise IL then and write articles

Mr.. Rogers was born in 1910 at Mat
tapoiSett- Mass, where his ancestors
had lived from colonial days. He at
tended the Fairhaven high school and
was graduated in the first class that
ever left the school He told his
friends OF later years how the seats In
that schoolhouse used 10 cramp his
long legs and how. in complaining 10
the teacher one day, he had vowed
that If ever he got rich be would build
a schoolhouse in which boys could be
comfortable. His very first gift to the
town or Fairhaven after he had be-
come man or wealth was a school
house which cost $4,000.
Fairhaven In the days when Rogers
left high school wasn't teemIng with
opportunities for an ambitious youth.
The high school graduate tried his
hand first at selling newspapers for
want or better employment. but he
had to run over to New Bedford TO
find enough people TO make the thing
pay.
A little experience In that line salts
fed him that there was better open
ing IN a store. He held his place as
clerk for five years at So a week and
board. Then be tried his hama as bag
gagemaster on the branch railroad
which ran through Fairbaven. That
job paid $l.l6 a day. The payroll OF
the road showing his receipts for
wages and also numerous grocery bills

IL wasn't long before Mr.. Rogers
was an important factor in the firm

taken in as a partner. This part

OF the Standard on company In 1874,
when the union Of the chief refneries
OF New York. Philadelphia. Cleveland
and Pittsburg was effected. Mr.. Rog-
ers became the chairman OF the man

that day until bis death he was one
