ATLANTIC CITY, d., Feb. 4.
In Atlantic City, the most cor
rupt town in what was-before
as governOr-the most corrupt
State in the union, five political
bosses, charged with grating,
have been sentenced to- prison
stripes and hard labor.
The king-pin of the gang, Louis
Kuehnle, eminently respectable
millionaire, who held the bankers,
business and professional men OF
Atlantic City tight in the grip OF
one hand and the gamblers, saloon
keepers and disortlerly house pro-
prietors in the other, has been
hailed into court like a common
felOn, ordered to stand up before
his fellow men, damned with the
stigma of ''guilty" by an impartial
Jury and sentenced by an honest
Judge
TO ONE YEAR IN THE PENI-
TENTIARY AT HARD LABOR
AND TO PAY A FINE OF $1,000.
Gov. Wilson pushed aside the
states attorney of Atlantic City,
who was too closely identified with
the Kuehnle gang to be consider.
ed dependable, and sent his own
attorney general, Edmund Wilson
to prosecute.
He pushed aside the sheriff,who
it was felt, couldn't be trusted to
draw a grand jury.
He pushel aside the local judge
and sent Judge Samuel Kalisch
from Newark, to try the cases.
He had the court select the trial

Note these facts about Kuehnle:
He's q millionaire.
He's president of the Marine
Trust Co., the biggest bank I'm At

He's director in several other

He's stakeholder in every

he was president, let a contract to

court decided Lockwood was a

REVIVED
ROMANCE;
TROUBLE

Let dead romance lie. (Apol-
ogy to the sleeping dog.)
Antony M. Presley, 80 years
old, thinks this is sage advice.
Perhaps he wishes he had fol-
lowed 1t.
Anyway, he tried to revive
one that began before the Civil
war and it ended in trouble. To-
day before Judge Card in supe-
rior court his divorce case against
his wife, Rebecca, aged 60, is un-
der progress and PRESLEY is on
the stand testifying that his wife
spit in his face, cursed and re-
viled him and ordered him from
the house, and also that she or
dered him to buy strychnine and
kill himself.
PRESLEY and Rebecca were
sweethearts before the Civil war.
Before Presley marched away to
the front he was married to Re-
becca and she waited until the
war was over to join her husband.
Until 1891 they lived happily
and raised eight children. They
were divorced in Oregon. Last
year, August IA, they were re-
married. Now they are about to
be divorced again.
AS a result of her testimony
yesterday when Edward l..
Thorne was granted divorce
from his wife Wyona, Anna
Thompson has been sued for di-
vorce by her husband Robert a
fellow clerk of Thorne in the
county auditors office.
Thorne charged his wife with
joyriding with other men. She
denied the charge. Mrs. Thomp-
son took the stand and though
her husband was in the room told
how she and Mrs. Thorne had
gone joy riding and spent the
night at the Tourist hotel. After
Thompson heard his wife's con-
fession he filed suit for divorce.

And our hearts, like thy waters, be

the church surrender This transact
ton took place in 1912, and in 1916
there was another gift to William
Paget-an even greater haul OF plum
der. The Angleseys have had a very
good time ever since. But 1t is to be
hoped that none of that family will
ever talk about 'sacrilege.'
Il have not finished the list. There
are the Russells, for instance. In
1910 John Russell pulled off a grant
of the whole site and circuit of the
rich Abbey of Tavistock, with twen-
ty-f1ve manors in Devonshire and one
in Cornwall as well as other land in
Devon and Somerset. AS Edmund
Burke said, The grants to the house
of Bedford were so enormous as not
only to outrage economy but to stag
ger credulity.' And there are others.
But 1 will go no further, being con-
tent to add this-I know that some
people will say that it is useless now
to talk about these old transactions
They will say that even supposing the
property had been originally given to
the church. the monarch chose to hand
it over to noble favorites and there
was an end Of the business.
Il agree. I do not for a moment
suggest that the transactions can be
undone. But I also say this, the prop
erty which is now claimed as belong
ing peculiarly to one religious sect in
Wales, known as the Church of Eng
land, was originally left to quite 4
different community. 1t was left for
purposes to which it is no longer ap-
plied-education, relief of the poor
and so forth. 1t cannot be sacrilege
for the parliament of the country to
deal with such funds in the public in
terest. And, what is more, these lords
whose families have for centuries lived
in princely luxury on the plumber of
the church, reach the final climax of
impudence when they talk about sac
rilege.'"
