Beverly Rector Resigns.

Giving as his reasons simply that his
vestry differs from him on the local option
question, the Rev. William T. Snead,
rector of St. Stephens Episcopal Church,
Beverly, has resigned. He announced
his resignation Sunday at the close
of the morning service.
His action was unexpected by the con-
gregation and caused asto nishment, since
it was thought harmony had been restor-
ed following the rupture of two years ago,
tor by several of the vestry. Eight of
them left the church when Mr.. Snead was
exonerated.
Mr.. Snead told the congregation Sun
day that he had sent his resignation to the
present vestry to take effect Easter. Later
he declared that he is an earnest advocate
of local option and that since his vestry
are not fully in accord with his views, he
thought it best to resign.
1t was five years ago that Mr.. Snead be-
came rector of the Beverly church, hav-
ing come from Baltimore. In November,
1907, dissension arose in the church, and
many charges were made against him. 1t
was alleged that he used unbecoming lam
guage and that on certain occasions, he
had kissed girls of the congregation.
Mr.. Snead denied all charges and Bishop
Scarborough made an investigation and
declared them without foundation.

The Penhollow Case.

Quite number of people were at the
court house, on Thursday, with the ex-
pectation of hearing argument on the
question of granting new trial to Walter
G.. Penhollow, Superintendent of the
Bordentown public schools. V. Claude
Palmer, who has charge of the case in the
absence of Eckard P. Budd, had stated to
Judge Horner that it would be impossible
to get all of the necessary evidence in
time to argue the matter on Thursday, so
the court allowed continuance
Prosecutor Atkinson was on hand with
the idea of disposing of some minor
criminal cases, but the Judge had gone to
Camden, 30 nothing was done. Thursday
was not the regular court day, but was
set for the express purpose of hearing the
Penhollow case, and as that had been at
tended to in advance there was nothing
on the calendar to hold the Judge, hence
he did not appear.
On Friday, Franklin B. Lewis, Supreme
Court Commissioner, sat at the Office of
" Claude Palmer, to take evidence to be
used In support of the motion for a new
trial for Professor Penhollow. This
action was to discover the truth or falsity
of reports that were current after the trial
had ended. After the verdict had been
rendered group of gentlemen discussed
the result and became engaged in con-
versation with William Warrack, presi-
dent of the Bordentown Board of Educa-
ton.
In that conversation the party received
some replies to questions put to Mr.. War
rack that led them to make an affidavit
which alleged that Mr.. Warrack had adj
mitted saying to Charles E. Woodward,
one of the jurors, that he was sorry they
could not get all of the Pen Van testimony
before the jury. This, it is said. was re-
marked during the progress of the trial,
and the fact was presented to Mr.. Palmer
by four citizens.
The evidence taken before Commits
sioner Lewis was behind closed doors and
it will not be made public until the tenth
of this month when the case will be argued
before Judge Horner. The hearing was
not concluded on Friday but will be con-
tinued next Friday. Prosecutor Atkinson
was present on behalf of the state at the
taking of testimony.

Douglas is to
 Initiate Tombstone

The petition of Douglas citizens against the use of the Johnson Jef- fries fight flms in Douglas, in the moving picture shows. was read to the city council the other night, when Mayor Wright said that if such films were prohibited, it would he good idea to prohibit all fi'ms of anything that pertained to the immoral.
 The matter received considerable discussion and closed with the city attorney being instructed by the coun cil to frame an ordinance to prohibit the use of any films that showed pie lures, the action of which was con- trary to the law and statutes of the state, meaning that the exhibition of a train robbery or g holdup, in itself a felony, would be illegal under the new ordinance and so on, an infiui- tum.
 It will be seen from the above that Douglas intends to patron along the lines followed by Tombstone.

Arizona Orange

California and Florida for years past have been making an awful noise about their oranges, but each year the Salt River valley product brings the highest price on the eastern market snd IS more sought after by the buy. ers than any other oranges in the world.
