OFFICES WILL
BE HANDSOME
Telephone Company Now at
Work.

The Delaware and Atlantic Tele-
phone Company will have the most
modern and handsome business Offices
in South Jersey, when the plans for
the big room, formerly the post office,
are carried out.
When the Delaware and Atlantic
Telephone Company leased the large
first floor room it sent one of it's best
engineers here. He made a careful
inspection of the property, and immed-
lately planned the offices to be located
there. The plans were reduced to blue
print and every detail has been pro-
vided upon the plans and will be fol-
lowed precisely as the engineer has
laid them out.
A new floor, hardwood, has been
laid. There will be a counting room
partition twelve feet from the street
front, and in the extreme rear of the
room there will be a partition of wood
and glass separating the main business
Offices from small store room for
light supplies.
The large main Offices will be en-
tirely open and free from any obstruc-
ton. The blue prints provide the eX-
act position of every rug upon the
floor, the location of every desk, every
filing cabinet, every chair, each piece
of furniture, all pictures to be placed
upon the walls are marked in the plan
and at just the height they are to be.
The picture rail even, is shown upon
the blue print. The engineer deter
mined upon the painting and his sug-
gestion must be followed to the letter.
Nowhere in the country will there
be better fitted office, for the COM
pany will send h6ie the best furnish
ings that are made, and every piece
of material that will be in the Office
will be absolutely new with the eXcep-
tion of one single desk New frames
will be placed upon the pictures now
in the offices of the company that are
to be hung in the new quarters.
The basement will be connected
with the sewer. insurng an absolute
dry cellar. This is to 5e used as the
main store room for supplies.

GERAN BILL
IS TO PASS
Senator Bradley Will Report
Measure.
BUT MINOR CHANGES
New Jersey Legislature Will Hold
Joint Conference on Public
Utility Measure.

Trenton, April 5.-Governor Will
sons reform measure, the Geran cleo
ton bill, which has passed the House
of Assembly, will not be mutilated by
the Republican Senate This was
made apparent today when Senator
Bradley, of Camden, chairman of the
Committee on Elections in the upper
branch, asserted that there was no
disposition on the part of the commit
tee to interfere with the main features
of the bill. He admitted that several
changes have been made, but stated
that they were minor ones, which the
committee thought necessary. If the
bill is not reported tomorrow, it will
be brought out on the floor next week
and lively fight is then anticipated.
A successful effort to get together
for the enactment of an adequate law
on public utilities was made today
when both the Senate and House
adopted a concurrent resolution for
JhC uppOllClIlCl1L VI Iii CG oSHdIOIS dnu
three Assemblymen to act as COM
mittee to frame a bill covering the
question that will be acceptable to both
bodies. The resolution was unani-
mously adopted in the House upon pre-
sentation by Assemblyman Egan, of
Hudson, who introduced the stringent
bill already passed by the Assembly.
Senator Frelinghuysen took the posi-
| ton that such a resolution was not
voted on the Senate's substitute bill.
The majority favored its adoption be-
cause it would facilitate the progress
of this necessary legislation.
The most important business trans
acted was the passage by the House
of the military retirement bill, intro
duced by Assemblyman Meyer 1t ex-
tends the jurisdiction of the general
court martial to matters of determin-
ing alleged permanent incapacity or
infirmity of any commissioned officer
in the National Guard and provides
that when a C commissioned officer
reaches the age of "a years, it shall
be the duty of the Adjutant General
to report such fact to the Commander
in-Chief, who shall then order a court
martial If this measure receives fav-
orable action in the Senate and be ap-
proved by the Governor, it would pro-
tect in office Adjutant General Sadler,
whom former Adjutant General BRENT
nall is seeking to oust
The Assembly passed many bills,
among them being the bill to incor-
porate Port Norris in Cumberland
County.

PRISONERS GET
 AWAY DURING PARADE
Three City Jail Birds Broke Lock and Escaped During Rig Industrial and Floral Parade Thursday
 Ero,,s,,m
Evening.

Three negro prisoners, confined III the city jail, could not wait until their terms expired, Thursday even ing. but even broke the lock on cell door to get out and witness the magni- fieent floral and industrial parade that night and be present when the Great White Way was turned on.
 Assistant Chief of Police Gus Reeves was in the office just donning his snow white suit and it's white trimmings, to go out and aid Chief of Police Even Parnell, the grand mar shal, when he heard something click in the rear of the police station. He and the stockman, who was also there at the time, investigated the matter. They could find nothing wrong and were soon out in the big parade, keep- ing the crowds back and preserving order among the thousands that were on the streets.
 But when the officers returned to headquarters they discovered that there had been a jail delivery and that three prisoners, previously held in an up stairs cell had made their geta- way. A large lock on the door had been broken and the cell was empty. One of the negroes who got away was Will Evans, who was serving 130 days for carrying a pistol and resisting ar Iaest. He had served only thirty days on the streets. One of the other ne- groes had only one day to serve and would have been discharged yesterday. The other had light sentence for a minor violation of the law.

 going, But Morris steadied himself and was beating Flynn back to cor her when the round ended.
 Round Eight-Flynn got home with two savage lefts on the swollen jaw Morris sent one uppercut and Flynn him on the ear with a right They went close together and Flynn began to pump in those cruel over hand lefts. Morris fought on with gameness. He landed once or twice but as rule Flynn's forearms blocked the punches. Flynn sank both fists into Morris waist line and Morris caught him many right uppercuts while he was thus engaged.
 Round Nine-Morris got home a short right on the jaw and Flynn came back with left on the swollen face. They went in close and slug ged. Then Flynn cut loose working his overland left for all it was worth. Flynn poked Morris with his left seve- raj times and Morris head dropped as though the punch was telling on him. He braeed up again, however, and was trying hard to get in right uppercut when the bell rang.
 Round Ten-Flyun ducked left and dueked again to close quarters Morris sent Hymns head back with 8 left. They clinched and fought it and then clinched again and Mor- iris got home with an uppercut They clinched again and Flynn distorted the giants face time and time again with overland lefts. Flynn seemed to get away from the uppercuts ano he never missed when he tried fol the face. Morris blows were feeble now and Flynn not only rocked the big mans head but sent in disturb ing blows to the body. Morris sent in one blow to Flynn's three. Flynn kept changing off from the short ribs to the jaw. He was smashing at Morris stomach when the contest ended.

NEGRO MINISTRIES
 WE'RE FAIRLY GOOD,

"The Dandy Dixie Minstrels,' ne gro organization, appeared at the
 Elks Theater last night to top heavy house, the balcony and gallery having been given over to the color
 ed people. The company, while not
 a large one, is better than the average negro minstrels touring this setion. Several of the comedians and singers made hits last night, but some of the jokes were old and some of the coon shouters failed in their efforts to please. Al ToLiver and Charles H.

FLYNN PUTS EWAY
 WHITE MANS HOPE

Fifth Round-Flynn was jaunty. He side-stepped and tucked under Morris's left Morris head stood high in the air and was easy for the Pue~ bio fireman to reach with his over hand punches. There seemed to be plenty of power behind Morris ul- percuts but Flynn blocked the worst of them Flynn, while clinglng to his man, soaked him cruelty in the stomach with rights and then pushed the left to the face again, What ever else might be said of Morris, he was certainly game aud his pow CTS of assimilation were remarkabie Flynn was cuffing him with lefts and rights as the round ended.
 Round Six-Flynn crowded Morris and they both slugged. Morris got in a couple of uppercuts and Flynn ham, mered the sides of the fa2o again. Flynn covered so we'll tAat Morris began to pound him in the back with his right. Flynn dropped his guard and allowed Morris to hit him twice
 with right. Then Jim came back with two hard lefts to the head. They were fighting breast to breast at the finish of the round.
 Round Seven-Morris' right missed Flynn's jaw and Flynn Went in and
 fought savagely. Morris face was one big smear of blood, but still he
 kept fighting and digging in foT

I then forwarded you the mon- ey and the communication. If your did not think proper to insert it why did you not send it back with the money, as every honorable man would have donee And now, sir, do not wish your paper longer. l shall not take any more out of the office if they arc sent; and I demand of you to sene that composition and the money other wise shall consider it felony or your part (Signed).
 Sir I have no recollection of any such letter as you speak of and pro bably never read it.
