an automobile2" The gentlemen who own
that mode of conveyance are evidently
able to bear the cost of maintaining 1t
without the county aid.
This question is an important one, and
can be discussed fairly and calmly. All
have voice In the matter with perfect
right to express an opinion for or against
the movement and no one should be SUBJ
ject to the insinuation that his motive is
improper or "ulterior." THE News has
no hesitancy In putting itself on record in
favor Of trying smaller Board, on the
ground that benefits derived by other
communities cannot help but be good
to this locality. 1t is certain from the
reports above written that the counties
from which the letters came are not facing
a financial condition that is staring Bur
lington county In the face. And the
worst of 1t Is that the prospects for the
future are not very encouraging. THE
News goes into this movement with its
eyes wide open and with the knowledge
that its action will not be received with
favor In many quarters and may even
result In loss OF patronage by some whose
toes may be trod upon. But 1t goes on
record just the same.

Murder or Suicide {?

Beverly is having case which is caus-
ing some inquiry. Robert McGuigan, a
boy 10 years of age, was found dead In
his fathers house. Around his neck was
a strap which had choked the boy to
death The first theory advanced was the
the little fellow had committed suicide,
but Coroner Bisbing held an inquest and
the jury returned verdict of 'strangula-
ton at the hands of persons unknown"
The findings of the jury were disputed
by some as there seemed to be evidence
of suicide. The name of a colored man
was connected with the affair and 1t was
intimated that he might have committed
the deed out of revenge. The affair was
so thoroughly discussed and there was
such difference of opinion on the sub
ject that Prosecutor Atkinson and detec-
tive Parker went to Beverly last week snd
made searching investigation at the con-
clusion of which 1t was decided that the
little boy had taken his own life, although
the opinion was that he had not intended
to do so.
From the evidence gained by the officials
1t was found that the lad was. like many
other boys of his age, full of ideas Of
fighting indians, wild west acts and Other
similar things and that 1t was one of his
favorite amusements to play ''holdup.
The strap with which he lost his life wal
one that he wore as fighting belt and he
would frequently throw lasso at hil
companions.
There was evidence that he was fire.
quent attender of moving picture shows
and 1t Is possible that he was excited by
the class of pictures shown at those places
| There is lesson In this occurrence tina
should appeal to all. Parents should b
careful about taking their children to tn
moving picture shows as they are nov
conducted, for there are few that do no
have blood-curdling pictures that are no
fit for those of tender years to witness
Another item that may be taken into con
sideration is the manner in which child
rem are allowed to 60 to these shows un
attended by guardians, which is direc
violation of the law.

responsible for the death of three year old

to that effect was issued by DR.. A. w.
DAVIS, chief house physician of the In
stitution.

weeks ago near his home. A deep cash
was inflicted in the cheek of the tiny vic
tim. Little Is known of the attention the
child received, but 1t was ascertained that
the boy was stricken with commissions and
became unconscious The patient did not
at any time become violent.
1t was decided that little Milford should
have the attention of hospital and he
was taken to Camden by train and in five
minutes the physicians at the hospital
were at work on the child. The hydro
phobia had developed so far that to save
its life was impossible. In less than al
hour the child was dead.
