Judge Brewster looked skeptical, |
but made no further comment The
banker rose and Alicia followed suit.
AS he moved toward the door, he
turned and said:
Drop in and see me this evening,
Brewster. Mrs. Jeffries will be de-
lighted II you will dine with u.s."
Alicia smiled graciously. DO come,
Judge; we shall be all alone"
The lawyer bent low over her hand
as he said goodby. Mr.. Jeffries had
already reached the door, when he
turned again and said:
Are you sure a very liberal oner
wouldn't induce her to drop the
manner"
The lawyer shook his head doubt
fully.

the banker. To his wife he said:
Are you coming. Alicia?"
"Just a moment, DEAR" she replied.
81 want to say word to the Judge"
"All right" replied the banker. I'll
be outside" He opened the door, and
as he did so he turned to the lawyer:
"If there are any new developments
let me know at once"
He left the office and Alicia breathed
a sigh of relief. She did not love her
husband, but she feared him. He
was not only 20 years her senior, but
his cold, aristocratic manner intimi-
dated her. Her first impulse had been
to tell him everything. but she dare
not. His manner discouraged her. He
would begin to ask questions, ques-
lions which she could not answer
without seriously discriminating her
self. But her conscience would not
allow her to stand entirely aloof from
the tragedy in which her husbands
scapegrace son was involved. She
felt a strange, unaccountable desire to
meet this girl Howard had married.
In quick undertone to the lawyer,
she said:

see her and arrange for an interview
There was a knock at the door, and
Alicia started guiltily. thinking hel
husband might have overheard theiI
conversation. The head clerk entered
and whispered something to the Judge
after which he retired. The lawyer
turned to Alicia with a smile.
TITS just as l thought" he said
pleasantly, she's out there now
You'd better go and leave her to me-
The door opened again unceremon
iously, and Mr.. Jeffries put in his
head:
aren't you coming. Alicia?' he de
handed, impatiently. In a love-
voice to the lawyer. he added; Say
Brewster, that woman is outside IL

Again Mrs. Jeffries held out he

hysterical sympathy with criminals.
/ will not be stamped with the same
hall mark as the man who takes the
life of his fellow being-though the
man be nay own son. / will not set
the seal of approval on crime by de-
Tending It,"
The lawyer bowed and said calmly:
"Then, sir. you must expect ex-
actly what is happening. This girl,
whatever she may be, is devoted to
your son. She is his wife. She'll go
to any extreme to help him-even to
selling her name for money to pay
for his defense"
The banker threw up his hands with
impotence.
TITS a matter of principle with me.
Her devotion is not the question"
With a mocking laugh he went on:
"SentimentaAty doesn't appeal to me.
The whole thing is distasteful and
hideous to me. My instructions to you
are to prevent her using the family
name on the stage, to buy her of on
her own terms, to get rid of her at
any price"
Except the price she asks" inter
posed the lawyer, dryly. Shaking his
head, he went on:
You'll find that wife's devotion is
very strong motive power, Jeffries.
1t will move irresistibly forward in
spite of all the barriers you and can
erect to stay its progress. That may
sound like a platitude. but it's fact
nevertheless"
Alicia, who had been listening with
varied emotions to the conversation,
now interrupted timidly:
Perhaps Judge Brewster is right
dear. After all, the girl is working
to save your son. Public opinion may
think II unnatural"
The banker turned on his wife
sternly he said:

WANT To PUSH
THE BRIDGE

The members of the City Park Com
mission are exceedingly anxious, as is
the general public, to push forward
rapidly the proposed new concrete
bridge over the raceway at the park
entrance. 1t is very desirable that
this bridge should be erected before
freezing weather comes along, as put
ting the construction over until spring
would have the effect of interfering
much with the pleasures of the public.
An added reason why the bridge
should be erected is that the old frame
structure is not in a good condition,
and it would seem unnecessary to
spend any money upon it for repairs.
The Park Commission has agreed
upon the plans for the new structure
and the matter is now up to City En-
gineer Walter M. Sharp.

vi Christian Unity.

The annual meeting of the County
Inter Church Federation met in the
chapel of Central Church yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. John S. Ware presided, with
Rev. ]. S. Skaggs as secretary.
The session was opened with pray
er by Rev. j. Ward Gamble, of Trinity
M. E. Church.
President Ware said the reports of
committees would be taken up at once
and called upon the Evangelistic COM
mittee for report
This committee had nothing to re-
port. The committee on Sabbath OBJ
servance, Rev. A. B. Collins, chairman.
Mr.. Collins reported fair observance
of the Sabbath was maintained locally,
but as to the effect over the county he
was unable to say as there were no
reports.
The report of the Social Purity Com
mittee, Rev. c. E. Smith, chairman,
evoked a wide range of discussion, be-
cause series of resolutions were Of
fered, suggesting ministerial action
from the pulpit On the subject, includ-
ing consideration of the white slave
traffic. After much discussion, the re-
port was received and adopted. The
resolutions requested the cooperation
of school superintendent and teachers
and looked to the securing of lecturers
in schools On those subjects.
In outlining the pulpit and lectur-
ing discussion of the subjects, DR..
Gamble thought that much care and
intelligence as well as delicacy and
caution should be used. Others agreed
with DR.. Gamble.
Rev. Mr. Smith, being about to be-
come disconnected with the Federation
DR.. Gamble was named for chairman
of this committee which would be va
Gated by Mr., Smith.
The finance committee had nothing
to report excepting a small bill due
Mr.. Snaggs, which was ordered paid
The report of the committee on Tenn
perance and Excise, as might have
been expected, created wide range of
discussion, showing the conditions of
intemperance as witnessed in the
county. Rev. Mr.. Blackman, of the
Fourth NJ. E. Church, this city, said
he was born and raised in Atlantic
City, but that he was forced to make
the broad assertion that he saw more
evidences of liquor drinking and more
drunkenness in Bridgeton than he ever
saw in Atlantic City. The open ped
ding of beer kegs in this city was
heartily deplored. A resolution was
finally adopted urging upon the au-
thorities of the cities and county e.
more strict enforcement of the excise
laws.

MAURICE RIVER
COVE OYSTER BEST

The luscious bivalvs" of former
years is now under suspicion, and
when is contemplated the possibility
of it's communicating typhoid fever and
other diseases, it is not surprising it
should be. The Health Commissioner
of New York City has established a
new rule that requires oyster dealers
before obtaining a permit to swear
among other things where the oysters
come from, must mention the name of
the grower, give proof of the purity of
the water from which the oysters were
taken, and the data. The Commits
sioner in making the rule says he
hopes to reduce typhoid fever cases
in the city. In view of the discovery
of the polluted oysters beds in the vi
cinity of Long Island, the Commits
sioners precaution is not taken any
too soon.-Camden Telegram.

Sutton Goes to Jail.

Theoph Sutton is in Jail for thirty
days. His arrest came about last
night when he was under the influence
of liquor. Sutton was arrested at the
house of Mrs. West and when he was
taken to the lookup he complained of
the cold. Mayor Hampton finally
agreed that Sutton should be at lib
erty during the night provided he kept
away from the West home. He prom
ised. The fellow did not keep his
promise. Instead he went right back
to the West house, broke open the
front door and went up stairs. He
was re-arrested and this morning was
committed ii the county Jail for 80
days.

BITS FROM THE
UNDERWORLD
Fight Over a Woman Named
Simpklns.
AN ITALIAN ARRESTED
Theoph. Sutton Also Makes Troub bic
for a Woman and Is
in Jail.

Mayor Hampton was called upon
this morning to settle a couple of
cases in which men and women were
involved.
A young woman named Simpkins, as
the story goes, was in Atlantic City
during the summer and became ac-
quainted with an Italian named AL
phonse Montrose. When the fall sea-
son came on the young woman left
Atlantic City, and the Italian return
ing here. where she permitted young
man Burt Webb, also of Atlantic City,
| to pay her a atention.
Last night at the home of Miss
, Simpkins on Lemon street, there was
a merry row. This fellow Montrose
came to Bridgeton and hunted up the
! Simpkins girl and found her with
Webb. There was fight-a scrap-a
riot. The two men disturbed each
other, the Simpkins household and
the neighborhood.
| officers from City Hall rushed to the
scene, and Montrose and Webb rushed
from the place. Later they went back
and officers Hamlyn and Barton ar.
rested the pair
Montrose was held in $500 bail anG
Webb will be a witness.

Clyde Potts, engineer, made his re-

which he is in charge as engineer, by
letters addressed to council.
In regard to the sewer contract, his
letter suggests that the city advertise
for proposals for laying the syphon at

work could not be completed until this
was done.

council will take up this matter
within the coming month it is quite
safe to assume, and the pipe will be
laid before another boating season.
Council went in record last night
that it was entirely dissatisfied with
the attitude shown by engineer Clyde
Potts. The Council passed a resolu-
N-S-A - SSNINSd Wy NIL w llIdhtE DTO-
Viding that no more engineering fees
be paid Potts until he gets upon the
work here. Council in its discussion
last night indicated that the member
did not feel that Mr.. Potts had given
the city the benefit of his services for
which he had contracted. Thousands
of dollars worth of work has been done
without any inspection or oversight
upon the part of Mr.. Potts. His repre-
sentatives, at times young men, mex
perienced men, as well as now and
then competent man, had been many
times changed and no one man had
followed the enterprise from the be-
ginning. The present conditions are
not at all satisfactory to council.
