6 4,
Washington. d. c., June 19.--The
week holds forth small promise IN the
way of big news events, and unless
something unexpected shonld occur
either at home or abroad, college
commencements. June weddings and
assemblies of various sorts will enjoy
a monopoly of the news columns.
Washington seems to have succumbed
prematurely to the dullness of sum-
mer, and no news of Importance is
promised from the capital excepting
that ground out by the congressional
mill, which is still engaged in ham,
mering the tariff measure into shape.
A fight that probably will attract
wide attention is promised in the
state of Washington, where the leg
isieture has been called to assemble
uext Wednesday in extraordinary ses-
sion The recent arrest cf the adju-
tant-general of the state militia on a
charge of embezzlement and reports
that public funds have been misappro-
prlated in other departments of the
state government have aroused the
people to keen pitch and a legisfa-
tive investigation is demanded. Two
factions of the Republican party are
engaged in the controversy and a bit
ter fight is in prospect. The opposi-
tion has even gone so far as to pre-
pare a resolution asking for the i'm
parchment of Governor Hay for mis-
;e, o&od
the resolution will be introduced as
soon as the legislature meets.
A skirmish over the prohibition law
is expected in the Georgia legislature,
which will assemble for it's regular
session Wednesday. The prohibition
law WHICH has been in operation in
Georgia for more than year has not
proved as satisfactory as was expect
ed, but any effort to change it, either
one way or the other, will, it is as
American delegates will take prom
inent parts in the celebration of the
Darwin Centenary, which is to begin
at Cambridge University Tuesday.
Two other events abroad in which
the United States will be officially
represented are the International con-
ference of meteorologists in London
and the international arts and literary
congress in Copenhagen.
Following forty-three years of ac-
tive service in the navy, Rear Admiral
Edwin K. Moore will be retired for
age Thursday. His retirement will
result in the promotion of Capt.
Thomas S. Phelps, the present COM
mandant of the Mare Island navy
yard. to the rank of rear admiral.
One of the notable gatherings of
the week will be the annual meeting
of the Northern Baptist Convention,
which is to begin it's sessions Friday
in Portland, Ore. An attendance of
two thousand delegates is expected,
and among them will be many divines,
educators and other persons of wide
prominence.
The marketing of the 1909 cotton
and wheat crops will be considered in
Atlanta at a meeting of state repre-
sentatives and other prominent mem
bers of the National Farmers Union.
The third annual meeting of the Ma
tional Cotton Congress will be held
ming Monday and continuing through
the week. John D. Walker, of Geor-
gia, will make the principal address.

One of the steamers belonging to the
Vansciver line plying between Hainesport
and Philadelphia, went down on Satur-
day, and 1t was only by heroic work that
over 90 passengers were saved from drown
ing. The boat was named "Shearwater,
and had formerly been pleasure yacht,
having been increased in size for the work
intended for her. The vessel had just
started on her trip to Hainesport and had
cleared the wharf when it was plain that
something was wrong. There was a
slight explosion which caused an alarm of
fire to Returned in.
The Shearwater drifted down the river
until Chestnut street wharf was reached
and two of the city's freboats went to the
assistance of the disabled craft 1t was
plain to be seen that the boat was sinking,
so all the attention was given to the pas
sengers, the most of whom were women
on their way to Riverside for days out
ing. Everybody on the sboat was safely
removed, but the last one was hardly off
when the Shearwater turned on her side
and sank.
Several theories have been advanced
for the cause of the accident but the real
reason will not be discovered probably
until the official investigation which began
Yesterday is concluded. The boat had
not be on the route long. On board on
Saturday was considerable freight for
Mount Holly merchants. A boy named
Pratt, from Mount Holly, had horse in
charge. With the animal he jumped into
the river and the two swan to Chestnut
street wharf where they were hauled
ashore.

The commencement exercises of the

Friday evening in the Methodist church,
which was tastefully decorated with palms
and ferns. The two young men graduates
delivered original orations in a highly
creditable manner, Stanley Heudrickson's
subject being 1.-THE Public School and
True Patriotism" while Charles Rue Sc

Both showed careful preparation and were
well received.
A reading, ION. the Rappahannock"
was rendered in spirited manner by Miss
Elsie R. Loid, accompanied by the Or

Miss II. Beatrice Hawkins interpreted in
an exceptionally pleasing manner Long
fellows "King Robert of Sicily"
Two vocal solos were rendered by Miss
Annie Antrim, which contributed largely
to the pleasure of the occasion.
The class was presented to the Board of
Education by the supervising principal,
William E. Gaskill. and accepted by the
president of the Board, Clifford E. Budd,
who then presented the diplomas.
DIR. Francis Green, of the West Chester
Normal school, delivered the address to
the graduates. In which he gave them, In

pitchers box for Highlander and put up a
fine game, allowing the other side to
make only four hits.
The playing of the Mount Holly team,
on Saturday, was an improvement on
former occasions. While the opposing
team did not amount to much there was
evidence that the home team was awake
to certain points that will be valuable
when they are against strong combina-
ton. Next Saturdays game ought to

Base Ball.

With the expectation of seeing good
game of base ball large number of per-
sons assembled at the Mount Holly base
ball park, on Saturday, but the perform
ance was comedy of errors and beyond
the amusement offered by the number of
foolish plays of the visitors there was
nothing to stay for.
The New Egypt team was outclassed by
Mount Holly and was not in the game at
any period. The first inning opened with
New Egypt at the bat. Compton struck
out, Tunney was thrown out at first base
Irons sent good one to the field for two
bases, and Smith went out on a fly.
Mount Holly's first man to get to first
was Kuhn who was hit by the pitcher.
Frost hunted and advanced Kuhn, but
was himself thrown out at first. Alloways
hit one which was fumbled by the short
stop and the runner was safe at first. r.
PARCEL hit an infield fly which put
him out and held the two men on first and
second. Goodrod went out at first.
In the second inning Bell and Nash
struck out, and Rogers sent pop fly
right into the hands of the shortstop. For
Mount Holly Lindsay got to first on a
tumble by the shortstop. Bulger hit to
shortstop and got to first, but forced
Lindsay at second. Bulger stole second,
and went home on a two base hit by NJ
PARCEL, who got to third on McClure's
hit down the line. Kuhn sent nice one
to centre field which the man at that sta
ton allowed to 60 through him and M.
PARCEL and Mcclure scored, Kuhn reach
ing second, advancing to third on q short
hit along third base line by Frost, who
reached first. Peacock hit one to the
second baseman. who turned his back on
the ball. Kuhn and Frost scored and
Peacock continued to second. R. PARCEL
struck out. Peacock started for third and
in his attempt to CA Oh the runner South
threw the ball over the third baseman's
head and Peacock scored. Goodrod was
out at first. Six runs for Mount Holly.
From this time New Egypt had bad
case of ''rattles" which affected the sport
ing editor and it was impossible to follow
the details. Mount Holly got caught in
several tight positions but got out of them
by the inability of the visitors to do the
proper thing at the proper time.
Run getting was easy for Mount Holly
after that, the only question being how
many should be made. New Egypt start
ed with Erickson in the pitchers box,
but he was soon relieved by Irons. One
was about as good as the other. Mcclure
began the game for Mount Holly but
when it was discovered what an easy time
was in sight he gave way for German, a
young man who just came up on visit.
After he had performed a short time,
Thorn went into the box. He was receiv-
ed with rounds Of applause and he showed
he had not lost any of his oldtime vigor.

Formation of County Committee.

Formation of County Committee
The Republican committee of Burling-
ton county sent request to the Attorney
General for an opinion on the law govern
ing the election of members of county
committees. Nelson B. Gaskill, Assist
ant Attorney General, has sent the follow
ing answer:
Trenton, N. j., June 3, 1909.
Charles r. Fenton, Esq, Mount Holly, NJ.
Dear Sir:-I have your letter of the 10th
forwarding request for an opinion by the
Burlington County Executive Committee
on the new primary law, concerning the
election of members of the County Com
mittee.
/ understand that the bylaws of Bur-
lington County Executive Committee call
for nine members, whose terms expire
during the present year, and all of which
vacancies would be, but for the passage of
the new act to which you refer, filled at
the convention during the current year.
Therefore it seems to me that you should
elect nine members, not necessarily one
from each voting district. because there is
nothing In the act which requires any
residential qualifications, except residence
in the County. The reference to the
voting district simply indicates the
method of election, that the election shall
be held in the voting districts as under
ordinary circumstances This phrase was
put In the act to meet the objection of
some members from Essex County who
were afraid that unless the words voting
district" were used, the elections might
be required to be held by wards, a system
which they had abandoned in Newark.
ar1fff 70 hol
elected in Burlington County under the
conditions existing there are unquestion
ably County officials elected from the
County at large, and while the procedure
for their election at primary election Is
not clearly specified In the statute, am of
opinion that they should be nominated
upon the petition of not less than one
hundred voters, filed with the County
Clerk in accordance with section two of
Chapter 278 of the Laws of 1907, as found
on page 1919 of the Election Law pamphlet
of 1908. This requires a petition of not
less than one hundred voters filed with
the county clerk in the manner and form
ordinarily used In primary elections, with
the affidavit and acceptance as required.
This petition is to be filed with the county
clerk fifteen days prior to the time fixed
by law for the holding of the election.
There will be no necessity for the county
clerk to certify to the clerks of each mu-
nicipality, since the election will be by
the county in voting districts, and the
County Clerk will. of course. prepare the
ballot. This is the necessary result while,
as say, the statute is not entirely clear
upon the subject.
Very truly yours,
NELSON B. GAsKILL,
Assistant Attorney General.

About five hundred people were present.
After the exercises they were treated to
ice cream and cake. The program was in
charge of Flora Ada Shinn, and the ex-
ercises were the best that have been given
for several years, the children and patrons
taking such an active part that 1t could
not help being success
There will be somewhat unusual lee
ture or talk at the Court House on Friday
afternoon next at three o'clock. Miss
Susan Holton, graduate of Smith Col
lege, will tell stories to children, followed
by talk on how to tell stories to chill
dren. The stories will include myths and
legends, fairy tales, historical incidents,
Bible stories. and adaptations from litera-
ture. Miss Smith comes highly recon-
mended, and her talks are said to be ex
ceedingly interesting, particularly to chill
dren. Adults will not only also be inter-
ested but will receive instruction how to
entertan children. The affair will be un-
der the auspices of the Woman's League.
Admission-adults 25 cents; children 10
cents.
Sunday morning about four o'clock
John South's blacksmith shop at the cor
ner of High street and the Mill road, Bur-
Ilington, caught fire from mysterious
origin and burned to the ground. Charles
Shinn who was staying with South in the
room back of the shop was asleep and
was carried out by South. While carry
ing him out South's trousers caughtf fire, but
he could not take time to extinguish them
until after he had been severely burned.
The fire department was not called out.
The loss is about $500. South said that
the room had caught fire early in the
evening and he thought that that he had
extinguished 1t. and then went to bed.
He was awakened by the heat of the flames
and found that he was surrounded BY fire.
