readers by Louise Rhead, has just been
published by the Harpers. Mr.. Rhead
was born in the same country as Robin
Hood and spent his boyhood roaming
through the greenwood where the merry
outlaw, jovial F'riar Tuck, Maid Marian,
and others of the band defied the sheriff
of Nottingham. In the preface the author
tells how he derived the character of his
Robin Hood from the testimony of the
old baIladists and strolling MINISTRIES who
pictured him as the most humane and
princely of outlaws The book is pro-
fusely illustrated with full-page and
smaller pictures, and map of the district
connected with Robin Hood all drawn on
the spot by Mr.. Rhead, who made a trip
to England especially for that purpose.

COURT BUSINESS
BEGAN TO-DAY
December Term Formally
Opened.
GRAND JURY ORGANIZED
Sgpu me Court Justice Samuel L.
Kahsch Not Present Judge
Tuller Charges Grand
Jury.

With Christmas over, all those in
terested in the December term OF Cum
berland County Courts, We're at the
County Building this morning, and the
business of the term was begun.
There was an attempt to open the
Court session on Tuesday morning,
but the raging snow storm made it
impossible for even members of the
was done save the formal announce
ment of the opening of the term.
Today the grand jurors We're pres
ent together with the panel and petit
jurors and all of the officers of the
court.
In the absence of Supreme Court
Justice Samuel l.. Kalisch, County
Judge Tuller charged the grand jur
ors, and the members of the inquest
retired with former Mayor Joseph A.
Conwell, of Vineland, foreman. There
was no special matter directed to the
attention of the grand jury.
Prosecutor Fithian said before go
ing out with the >jurors, that while
there were a number of cases to be
brought to the attention of the grand
inquest, there were few that were es-
pecially important He rather expects
that the grand jury will conclude its
work tomorrow.
Judge Cole took the bench at this
junction and proceeded to call the Su-
preme Court issues. When cases No.
II and II were called, they were said
to be ready, but the plaintiff, Joshua
Nickel, was in Florida, and had said
ne would not come north to try the
| case until the spring term. He is the
plaintiff against the German Alliance
Insurance Co., and against the Gale
donian Insurance Co., and was repre-
sented by H. Byron Lore. French &
Richards represented the two Insur-
| ance companies.
The court asked what the defend
ants had to say against the postpone
ment of the case. Mr. French said
that this was his first experience of
having a plaintiff remain in Florida
and refuse to come and press his
| claims.
The court wanted to know the basis
of the defense; Mr.. French said the
defense of the companies was that the
plaintiff had burned the building him
self, and Mr.. French then moved for
a non-suit which motion the court at
once granted
A jury was put in the box to try the
case in the Circuit Court of George p
Brandt, against David Kotok to re-
cover $115.5O on a contract for car

BLIZZARD STORM
MADE WHITE XMAS
Traffic Was Suspended on
Tuesday.
BUSINESS HANDICAPPED
Falling Snow Day Before Chris,mas
Brought About Many Difficulties
and Interfered With People.

The blizzard-like snow of Tuesday
greatly handicapped business, put the
local and suburban trolley service
out of commission, shut out the rural
community from town, and made it
uncomfortable for the late shopper
who was obliged to get to the stores
Christmas eve.
The storm was one of the busiest in
years. For a time it seemed as if the
snow would prove a blizzard compar-
ing with the great storm of March,
1883, the February blizzard of 1899, or
the big snow of March, 1909.
All day Tuesday the combined forces
of the Bridgeton and Millville Trac-
tion Company fought the storm in an
effort to keep the tracks clear, but
it was night before cars could get
over the Millville pike, and the full
route to Port Norris. Even then the
service on the MilIville line was han
dicapped by icy rails, throwing a big
car off the track at East Bridgeton.
Yesterday, however, traffic was gen
orally resumed
Stage service was interfered with to
a very great extent. Only powerful
automobiles plowed through the deep,
light snow effectually.
Business Tuesday was very consid-
erably interfered with owing to the
fact that out of town folks could not
get in the city. Roads were very bad,
and sleighs were pressed into service.
Town people did not find the wealth
er convenient for business, but late
shoppers, those who had failed to pro
cure Christmas gifts early were much
handicapped. However, Tuesday night
there was a crush in the stores and
lively businesss was the result.

COUNCIL HAS
ORDINANCE NIGHT
Has Proper Spirit for Christ
mas Eve.
PENSION FOR WOODRUFF
The Future Commissioner of Public
Works Will Receive a Salary
of 81, 800.

City Council had one of its most
important meetings on Tuesday night
last, passing two ordinances, and in
Producing three others which will be
passed on Tuesday night of next week.
1t was a Christmassy sort of meeting
for the Councilmen were legislating
to give ci y officials for 1918 more sal
aries and to provide a pension for
Public Works Commissioner Timothy
Woodruff, who will retire from his
position January 1st.
Four members of the seven were
present. President Elmer D. Mulford.
Elmer d. Ogden, Lewis S. Johnson
and Howard w. Smalley. Oscar X
Whipple, Arthur r. Whitaker ana
Charles H. Stevenson were absent,
but it is known that they are fully in
accord with all that was done.
After disposing of a couple of build
ing permits, City Council finally
passed two ordinances One provides
an increase of salary of the deputy
| city collector from $500 to $400 per
year. The other was the appropria-
| ton ordinance setting out $4,000 for
water and filtration plant expenditure.
Councilman Smalley then introduced
an ordinance providing authority for
| the City Comptroller to sell bonds to
the amount of $4,000 for the water
plant construction. This ordinance
was twice read and laid over under
| the rules.
Mr.. Srfalley then introduced an or
dinance amending the ordinance fixing
| the salary and duties of the Public
Works Commissioner. The amendment
increases the salary from $1,000 to
$500 annually. Further amendments
provide that the Commissioner of Pub
| lie Works shall also make regular eX-
aminations and reports of the filtered
water and of the affluent of the sew
age disposal plant.
This ordinance was twice read and
went over for one week.
Mr.. Ogden introduced an ordinance
which has for it's object the pensioning
of Public Works Commissioner Timo-
thy Woodruff. The ordinance follows
state law which makes it possible
for a city to pay a pension of one-half
of the salary of an honorably dis
charged soldier, sailor or marine who
served in the war of the rebellion,
who has continuously, or in the ag-
gregate, served the city for 20 years.
This ordinance was twice read and
will be passed finally next week.
Council then adjourned until next
Tuesday night, New Years eve.

males and 5736 females.

CHRISTMAS FIRE
DAMAGES HOME
Residence of Howard S. Carll
Damagt d.
FIRE DEPARTMENT our.
Considerable Loss Caus, at Cedar
Street Residence by Fire
and Water.

Fire and water caused serious loss
to Howard S. CARL yesterday and
greatly interfered a Christmas home
gathering.
A Christmas family reunion planned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Howard S. CARL yes
terday resulted in something of dis
aster. Inc one of the large east par
lors of the Cedar street home, roar
ing fire was started in the spacious
open crate. The latter is in Chin
ney that runs up between the rooms
and an open hallway which practically
divides the house. A defective fiue
made it possible for the fire from the
open CRATE to escape between the
plastering, and an ugly, stubborn fire
resulted. 1t was almost at once ap-
parent that the fire department was
necessary to master the flames and an
alarm was telephoned and box No. As
was struck.
The fire apparatus was hauled
through the snow covered streets to
the Cedar street house. The volun-
teers who had gathered about found
that it would be necessary to remove
the furniture from the east rooms of
the house Piano and other furniture
was quickly shifted to the other part
of the residence and carpets were
taken from the floor. 1t was neceS-
sary to cut into the walls and parti
tions to reach the flames which were
eating away and considerable water
was poured into the openings before
the fire was drowned out. The flames
had eaten practically from the base
ment to the third floor.
Wilmer CARL, son of Mr.. Howard S.
CARL. was i'll in bed with the grippe.
1t was necessary to remove him to the
nearby home of relative.
In returning from the fire, the big
LaFrance engine slipped into an East
Commerce street gutter and was prac
tically ditched in the high bank of
snow. A team of five horses could
not pull the machine out until it had
been lacked up.
