SAY THEY OWN ATLANTIC CITY
Descendants Of Revolutionary Pilot
Also Claim Parts of New York.

Also Oldln FdTlS OF view IoTk..
Millville, n. j., March 12.-Over 200
Of the descendants of Jonathan Steel
man, pilot who died in 1881, are
planning a fight to recover lands
which were owned by Steelman.
These include much property in New
York City and a large part of the is
land upon which is Atlantic City.
Just prior to his death the old pilot
leased the property for term of nine
ty-nine years to persons named Krug-
her. When the old man diel his deeds
and leases were missing.
Andrew Snyder however, found
some papers in an iron pot while he
was excavating near the site of the
old home of the pilot. These the heirs
believe to include the papers which
were missing at the death Of the pilot.
Snyder has employed counsel and re-
fuses to surrender the documents
Through the old records the heirs
say they have traced the property
down to the time It was granted by
the English to Jonathan Steelman who
was the grandfather of the pilot and
who came to America from Sweden
In 1894.

possible in some regions for the sal
Don keeper to make living if he con-
ducts his place in an orderly and de-
cent manner, we propose a limitation
on the number of licenses in proper
ton to the population, not by the
withdrawal of the present licenses but
by the refusal to issue additional IL
censes for new places unless the fixed
ratio has been reached by the increase
of population.
To make this the more effective we
propose also that the penalty for VIC
lation of the law shall fall upon the
place in such a manner that II there
is proof of two violations within lin
tied period not only shall the proprie-
tor lose his license but the place shall
be penalized. This makes 1t the in
terest not only of the proprietor but
also of his hackers and the property
owner to prevent violation OF the law
in that place.
We believe that these very simple
provisions will have the effect of res
training and controlling the sale of
liquor on Sunday so that not only will
much fewer number of places be
open for the sale of liquor, but that
the sale of liquor in those places Will
be conducted in a far more orderly
and decent manner than at present,
and we believe further that the result
will be largely to take the saloon ques-
ton out of politics by removing the
principal source-graft.
