Willy ITALIAN
OUTW|TS OFFICER
Gets Away With Team and
Crops
SHIPS OUT OF STATE
Joseph Tice a Victim of a Man to
Whom He Attempted to
Give Aid.

Joseph Tice recently sold some land
to one Joseph Melino, an Italian far
mer, between Mauricetown and Port
Norris, and practically set him up in
farming, furnishing him, among other
things, $400 team of horses, taking
a chattel mortgage on the horses and
other stock and implements. Mr.. Tice
sold him the farm on an agreement,
the deed to pass on payment of GER
tain amounts.
Payment was not made and Melino
picked and sold an $500 crop of straw
berries, paying nothing to Tice on
farm, horses. or any thing else.
Tice brought suit on the chattel
mortgage; Melino, with a shot gun,
chased the local officers away and they
did not secure anything, and then
Melino spirited the horses away. The
case was then given to constable Ed.
E. Reeves, who last Wednesday located
Melino and the team in Philadelphia
The Pennsylvania laws do not recog-
nize a chattel mortgage, so Mr.. Reeves
had to return and get warrant from
Justice Fieldings Office, charging lar
ceny as bailee. When he got back to
Philadelphia with this warrant the
man had disappeared with the team.
The constable had already seized on
the rest of the stock held by Melino
on the farm, but much of this has now
disappeared, so it looks as if the wiley
Italian has been playing slick game
and won out so far.

ATLANTIC GANG
BADLY WORKED UP

Atlantic City, N, T., July 11.-Sher-
III Enoch Johnson and some promi-
nent lawyers were seen in Trenton to-
day and the report here is that it is
the intention to begin certiorari pro-
ceedings to stop the appointment of
grand jury in this county by elisors.
The two elisors, William M. Clev-
enger and William L. Black, are un-
derstood to have completed their Sc
lection of the grand jurymen.
Attorneys here say the sheriff has
apparently shown too much haste on
his part. These men say the orderly
way would be to wait the action of
the grand jury and then attack it upon
the ground of noncompliance with
the constitution.
The drawing of a grand jury by un-
preJudiced and Independent private
citizens is shock to politicians, but
greater shock still is the announce
ment that Attorney General Wilson
expects to ask Justice Kalisch to draw
a petit or trial jury.
1t is this report that has sent the
politicians flying to the courts in
hopes of some sort of legal stay of
proceedings. With an honest grand
jury drawn to try the men against
whom true bills may be returned, the
bulwark of protection that has been
afforded election crooks in this coun-
ty may be beaten down.
.Shairman Macksey, who presided
over the committee of probers that
made the remarkable inquiry into At
lantic county frauds in the conduct of
the November election, is here with
Newark Elks. Mr.. Macksey said to-
day:
The mills of the gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceedingly small. 1t
has taken some time to get TO the
bottom of the mess in Atlantic county,
but think it is well started toward
cleaning up now. -
When we made our report lot of
people did not understand why the
document was so colorless. They will
understand it now. We knew that as
legislative committee we could do
nothing. We had no power. But there
were others who did have power and
to those persons we went.
I'VE talked it over and decided the
best thing We could do was to make
report without any denunciation,
telling something of what we had dis
covered, and then start the machinery
in motion to reach these fellows right.
The governor has known something
about it from the start. A lot had to
be done to lay the foundation right,
but now the superstructure can be
reared. We didn't print in the papers
all the information we obtained.

McAllister as counsel for the Com
mission, end he will assist the mem
bers OF the City Committee IN pre-
pairing a charter for the government

AT THE PRETTY
MAJESTIC THEATRE

Very much appreciated is the viol-
mist at the Majestic. The artist is
playing classical and popular numb ors
and each is equally pleasing to the
rather large audiences that have been
enjoying the unusually good programs
that are presented. The singing of
Phil Bennett is as always very high
class, his wonderful voice being heard
toIthe greatest advantage. His open
ing number sung with guitar accom-
paniment, is one of the best musical
numbers ever given in Bridgeton.
The high class association pictures
need nothing to hold them up. They
are the most remarkable entertainers
that can be secured. Every one repre-
sents the highest art in photography
and the subjects are we'll chosen, the
scenery being we'll worked out, and
the acting the best that the greatest
posing talent in the world can pro-
duee. The Association is sending to
the Majestic the best pictures produced
in this country and Europe, and the
foreign pictures are alone possible
here only at the Majestic.
Cool, comfortable, bright and pretty
the Majestic theatre is one of the most
delightful spots in the city and the
people are more appreciating the eff
forts of the management to entertain

FREEHOLDERS
IN SESSION
The July Meeting at County
Building
DINNER At THE PARK
The County Legislators Will Have
Outing in Connection With
Meeting.

The Cumberland County Board of
Chosen Freeholders is in session to-
day, meeting in the County Building
this morning at 10 o'clock.
All the members were present, and
the Board was promptly at business
owing to the fact that an outing was
prepared by the officers of the Board
at the Park.
There was the usual number of bills
before the Board for payment, the
budget having been approved by the
finance committee.
There weie several minor details
considered by the Board before new
business was taken up, including re-
ports of various committees, the Trus-
tees of the Aims House and the Board
of Managers for the Hospital for the
Insane.
The Public Road Committee made
report regarding road improvement,
and said that the Malaga road would
be finished next Tuesday, and as soon
as the State Road Department is ready,
a special outing of the Board would
be held for the purpose of accepting
the road.
Mr. Erickson offered a resolution
providing for the raising of $4,000 by
taxation for the payment of the Deer
field road improvement, being two
thirds of the approximate cost of the
road. The resolution was adopted by
a unanimous vote.
Fred F. Smith made an address to
the Board concerning the purchase of
the Salem turnpike. Mr.. Smith spoke
for the people in and about Shiloh,
who had long been suffering. The
Hopewell people had held a public
meeting and unanimously resolved to
take such steps that will result in the
purchase of six miles cf the road.
Mr.. Fogg presented numercusly
signed petition asking for the pur-
chase of the road. The people of
Hopewell were willing to pay 10 per
cent, the law provides for one third
of the cost. The estimate of total cost
was about $4,000, the county expending
upon the enterprise about $4,000.
Mr.. Fogg made a very determined
appeal for relief and presented tha pc
titions and moved the adoption of a
resolution authorizing a committee Of
five members to act in the matter.
The director appointed. the foll9w
ing committee: Charles n. Fogg, J.
R, Moore, Frank K. Muta, J. N. bacon
and j, N. Ogden.
Under the provisions of the election
laws recently, it is apparent that the
law will require very much increased
expenses.
Mr.. ] H. Bacon, for the finance COM
mittee, offered resolution providing
for the certification of $4,000 additio Il
al money to be raised by the next tax
levy. The Board had already appro-
priated $4,000 for election expenses.
The new appropriation brings up the
expense to $4,000.
Upon motion of Mr.. Geo. Reeves, a
committee of three was appointed to
arrange for the reconstruction of the
ballot boxes to conform to the new
Geran law.

Oklahoma and Golden City r. r.

Lafayette, Ind, April 8.-A plain
ly dressed, smooth-faced, medium
sized mar with closely cropped gray
hair was leaning against the side OF
the Big Four passenger station. His
eyes were red-rimmed from loss of
sleep, and there vas an air of fatigue
abou. him that might be attributed to
"that tired feeling" one hears about
on a bright, warm spring day.
"Tired, Bill?" asked a friend, af-
ter the leaner had shaken hands in a
languid sort of fashion,.
"Not particularly tired, but worn
OUT" answered the n addressed as
Bill. "Been doing a good deal of fig
uring in the last six days. Working
with a pencil about all day, most of
the night. and then going at it before
breakfast, is liable to make a man
feel run down a little"
"What was the necessity of all that
fguring?" was asked.
"Just landed a contract for $S,ooo,-
900 down in Oklahoma" came the
reply, with a sort of yawn.
The man leaning against the build
ing, looking around without apparent
ly seeing anything particular, vas
William Love, who only a few hours
before had closed a contract to build
and equip the Oklahoma and Golden
City Railroad, TO run from Jefferson
City, Mo-, a distance Of 3S8 miles, to
Fairview, Ok, at a contract price of
Sc, 900, 900, and in thirty days he
will have 1000 men at work and in
two months will have three times
that number employed.
He will start 1000 teams. a num-
Der Of steam shovels, and as fast as
the grade is completed will begin
building bridges aud laying down
rails. And when the rails are down
and the bridges built, he will buy To-
comotives and cars, and star. tains
over the road. And for this he is to
receive SO, 900, 900 when he turns the
completed railroad and its equipmen,
over to the company.--Globe- Demo

This road, when built, If built, can
not miss Versailles very far, and i
may be that with the proper induce
ments it may DC induced to come oul
way. 1t has been an advertised pro
position for several years, and the
promoters are persistent in thei
claims that it will be built. If Mr.
Love has the contract and will 90 t,
work and show us, then our peopl,
will begin to sit up and taken notice
otherwise nothing doing.

Mr.. Editor:--i noticed an article
in your paper recently about the
court house, and the writer made
some good suggestions, but he did
not go far enough. The court house
was built by the peoples money TO
be used only for county purposes.
Now take a look at it and see if it is
used for the county only. There arc
two printing offices in the building,
and their motive power is gasoline.
This increases the rate OF insurance
to more than the rent. Where is
there anything made in a deal like
tnat? Then the county pays more
Tor its printing than it could be had
