Credentials Necessary.

1T is all well enough for people OF Prince
Georges to come across the line and
shoot In the District" said sportsman
last night, but it Is not we'll for a resi-
dent of the District to go into Prince
Georges unless he is armed with the
proper credentials.
Even some Of the officers of the Mary
land county come into the District and
kill what birds they want" the sports
man added. 'and then If they catch
Washingtonian across the line they will
nab him. It's hardly fair
Maj. Sylvester will have the police OF
the ninth precinct erect a signboard at
the District line to warn the gunners
against the Maryland authorities.
The shooting season on the Patuxent
river marshes does not open until Septem-
Der 13, and under the laws OF the state
must pay a license of 81.

Reedbirds Fail to Show.

Many blackbirds remain about this

clared. although most sportsmen have
an idea that they leave here late in the
fall or early winter. The same is true
of woodcock. There are several COvies

given by erecting and maintaining sign
boards. at least eight by twelve inches
in dimensions, on the borders of the
premises, and at least two such signs for
every fifty acres: and any person who
shall maliciously tear down or in any
manner deface or injure any of such
signboards shall be liable to penalty Of
not less than So for each and every sign

Get 5000 In New York Hold.Up.


Motor car road agents figured in
what was in many respects the bold
est and most remarkable highway rob
berry New York ever knew.
The hOld-up began at Trinity place
and Rector street, just on the edge of
the financial district. Three men
jumped into a taxicab. One of them
put a pistol to the chauffeur's head,
while the other two with blackjacks
beat the two bank messengers in the
car and took a tin box that held $685.

tional bank.
At Park place and Church street the
thugs left the taxicab. jumped into a
dark covered touring car, which ap-
pears to have taken the place of the
wild west road agents horse, and
made their escape, leaving but the
most meager clue to their identity
despite the fact that many persons
saw the robbery.
Wilbur F. Smith, sixty-one years Of
age, one Of the bank messengers, was
so badly bludgeoned that he is now in
the Hudson Street hospital
Frank Wardell, sixteen years old,
the other messenger, was not so badly

PITNEY SUCCEEDS
JUSTICE HARLAN
Taft Names New Jersey Man
For Supreme Court.
INTENDED As A SURPRISE
Unusual Efforts Were Made to Guard
the Secret Of His Appointment-Wili
Be Confirmed by Senate.


The nomination of Mahlon Pitney,
chancellor OF the state of New Jersey,
TO be an associate justice Of the Unit
ed States supreme court, was sent to
the senate by President Taft.
The statement that Chancellor Pit
ney would be named as the successor
of the late Justice John M. Harlan
was made at the White House subse
quent to a call by John W. Griggs,
former attorney general of the United
States, and a delegation of New Jer-
sey lawyers, all of whom spoke of
Chancellor Pitney in the very highest
terms.
The fact that Mr.. Taft thought of
selecting Chancellor Pitney for the su-
preme court vacancy did not become
known until Sunday night, and then it
was discussed only among some of the
presidents closest friends. Unusual
efforts were made to guard the secret
and the president had planned to send
the nomination in as a complete sur
prise. Mr.. Taft does not anticipate
any opposition to the nomination in
the senate.
Chancellor Pitney long has been a
prominent figure in New Jersey. II
casting about for a successor to Jus
tice Harlan, Mr.. Taft first looked be
yond the Mississippi river. At one
time it seemed certain that he wou d
name Judge William c. Hook, of the
United States circuit court, and again |
It seemed that Secretary Charles Ma !
gel, of the department of commerce |
and labor, would be the choice of the |
president.
There was a protest against Judge |
Hook because of his decisions in two |
Oklahoma cases, one involving the
two-cent fare law and the other the
Jim Grow" car law. The latter case,
in which Judge Hook decided in favor
Of the railroads and against the con
tention Of the negroes affected, is said
to have been the final cause of the
presidents turning from the Kansas
jurist.
The labor organizations protested
against Secretary Nagel on the ground
that he had been too lenent in the
enforcement Of the immigration laws.
Mahlon Pitney's father, Henry C.
Pitney, was vice chancellor of New
Jersey. His mother was Sarah Louise
Halsted. He was born at Morristown,
N. j., on Feb. 5, 1858. He was grad
uaed from Princeton in 1879. In 1882
he received a master Of arts degree.
and in 1908 the university conferred
upon him the degree of doctor Of
laws
He was admitted to the bar in 1882
and he practiced in MOrristown. In {
1891 he married Florence T. Shelton. t

Your family physician will verify the
statement that it is positive fact that every
child with sore throat is in immediate dan
ger of contracting Group, Quinsy, ToDsilitis
or Diphtheria, and is not removed from that
danger until the throat is cured. Think of it,
Liniments or outward application of
medicines do not and cannot cure the all
ment, though they may offer temporary
relief. Neither can you cure sore throat
with cough syrup or a cold cure.
To cure, you must get at the seat of
the disease, removing the cause. Moth
ing does that so quickly, safely and
surely as TONSILlNE. A single dose of
IONSILINE taken upon the first appear

DOCTOR FUTILE
TO ENFORCE LAWS

When customer asks for a
pound" of butter, the merchant
sailing it had best take close heed
that the package sold contains a
full pound, else he may find him
self liable for violation of the pure
food law that went into effect the
first of this month. This is one of
the methods which will be fol
lowed I'M enforcing the law, ac-
cording to DR.. T. D. Tuttle, secre.
tary of the state board of health.
II would like to call attention
to one or two points in connection
with the pure food law said DR..
Tuttle. Just as starter, I re-
quested a friend of mine, a stran-
ger who happened to be in. town
Saturday, to go to three stores and
purchase pound of butter from
each store. He went to the mer-
chant and asked for a pound of
butter. The merchant without
saying whether or not he delivered
a pound of butter to him, gave
him a package of butter. He had
been asked for a pound and pre-
sumably he had sold a pound, and
The Harlowton news., 1912-02-02

/ believe under the law this mer-
chant would be held responsible
for having sold this package as
pound of butter.
These packages were weighed.
The first weighed one pound and
one and fifteen-sixteenths ounces
gross, the net weight Of the butter
was fifteen and twenty-one thirty
seconds ounces or practically one
pound. This slight variation could
hardly be taken into account.
THE second package weighed,
gross, one pound and aeven-eights
Of an ounce, but the butter
weighed fourteen and thirty-one
thirty.seconds, Or practically ff-
teen ounces. The purchasers paid
forty-fve cents for this package,
but in reality he paid forty eight
cents a pound.
THE third package weighed,
gross, one pound and twenty one
thirty-seconds ounces, but the but
ter weighed fourteen and three
fourths ounces. The purchaser
had paid forty-fve cents for this
package of butter, but it actually
cost him at the rate of forty nine
cents a pound. "...
These merchants are, as mat
ter of fact, guilty under the law as
having sold short weight. This was
not an official purchase but is an
example of the methods we pro-
pose to pursue and hereafter such
purchases will result in prosecu-
tion. -
Another point is of especial in
terest to those conducting meat
markets. The regulations prohibit
hanging meat outside the meat
market. While on my way home
to lunch Saturday, I noted three
meat markets with meat hanging
out in front. The statement may
be made that on account of the
ground covered with snow and the
total absence of flies at this time
of the year, that no damage could
The Harlowton news., 1912-02-02

come to the meat from its hanging
out this season, the merchant Will
probably forget and hang it out
some other season. Therefore, get
out Of the habit Of hanging meat
outside as the practice will not be
tolerated.
We have not started the en-
forcement Of the pure food law yet
because We are simply swamped
with work in getting out the Ill
censes and answering questions,
but in a very few days the work
will begin in earnest"

This saves carrying the gum to
