IN JAIL FOR HIS TAXES
AND MAY NEVER GET OUT
George Forester Owes Haw-
thOrnc, n. j.. S3.39, and
Town Wants 1t.
MANY OTHERS IN DANGER
Chief Keefe Says He's Going t"
Lock Up Everybody Who
Fails to Pay Up.

HAWTHORNE. n. j., Aug. s-Not since
Mayor George Sammis of Sound Beach.
Conn, had to hold a rummage sale and
strawberry festival in his back yard to
replenish the empty Sound Beach treasury
and SO pay the police. fire. street clean
ing. school and health departments of
Sound Beach and his own salary has a
municipality been SO down in its luck a.
this town is now.
To-day Hawthorne was driven to the
extreme of locking up citizens accused
Of being delinquent taxpayers and OF
holding them in the town calaboose until
they ease some money into the Hawthorne
treasury.
Chief Of Police Dick Keefe decided to
make an example of some one and he
decided that it might as well be George
Forester Of Park avenue. Hawthorne.
as any one else. The chief told George
that that little matter of Georges taxes
for 1910 and 1911. amounting to the Who'll.
and entire and complete sum OF $3.50 if
paid now would help the borough fathers
whole lot. inasmuch as if George paid
up the borough would then only have to
raise $40. .998 81 Of the $20.OOO sadly needed
for borough improvements.
George Forester thought Chief Keefe
was ioking. One word led to another and
finally the chief said fatty that if George
didn't pay up the chief would lock him
up in the Paterson jail and throw the
key away. Sure enough Chief Keefe
this morning took George TO Paterson
and locked him up. On the commit ment
papers there isn't word about how
long George is to stay in Jail. He can't
earn money to nav taxes in Hawthorne
while in jail at Paterson. and he can't gel
| out TO get the money to pay his back taxes,
and there you are. So folks say thai
they think Chief keefe thinks that mayhe
George will mover get out because his
back taxes will keep on piling up faster
than time itself.
Pay up or be shut up" is the slogan
OF Chief keefe and the other policeman
in the department beginning to-day. and
lots OF folks are worried.
The tax collector had to hire extra
assistance to receive back taxes this
afternoon when word began TO fash
around Hawthorne that Chief Keefe and
his splendid body OF men named PATROL
man Jim Cusack henceforth will lock up
the delinQuents on sight.
Wagons and automobiles were pressed
into service by patriotic taxpayers this
afternoon to race to the tax collectors
Office.
Despite this outburst of patriotism,
however. there's a feeling here that some
OF Hawthorns's leading patriots will be
bars before the week is finished.
We'll keep it up said the chief to-
night. Somebody's been fooling George,
told him he didn't have to pay. but
showed him. He's committed unit he
pays up. even il it takes forever

WHY BOTTLED IS POPLAR

In an article entitled "The Popular Mllkman' in the current issue of Farm and Preside appears the following:
 Wherever you will, find the clean est and most intelligent people, you Will find the greatest demand for bot tied milk. A large amount of, milk for direct consumption is still deliver ed in cans, but bottled milk is gaining favor for a number of reasons: First, the milk is cleaner and has better keeping qualities than milk sold from cans which are frequently opened and exposed to the dust of the roads. Sec ond, the customer is more likely to receive milk of uniform richness and quality than if poured from can. the contents of which are seldom tho,- oughly stirred. Third, bottle of milk is convenient and handy package both in the kitchen and in the method of delivery. It saves time for the milkman. Fourth, the housewife likes to see the cream-line on the milk. This fact alone is largely re- sponsiblc for the popularity of bottled milk"

O'COnnelI-Cunningham.

One of the prettiest home weddings ever solemnized in this city was that at the home of MT. and Mrs. John OConnell yesterday at high noon, when their daughter, Miss Leicester Marguerite,' became the bride of wal ter Ray Cunningham. Rt Rev. Monsg. J. M. Lucey, of St. Joseph's Catholic church, read the impressive service that joined the two young lives.
 The setting for the ceremony was most elaborate. The library was beautiful in decorations of smilax, white chrysanthemums and English ivy. Streamers of white incline, around which was twined ivy and smi- lax theare suspended from the ceiling to aiN double doors opening into the dirSenas room, forming an arch. On eittrA side was pedestal bearing a cuapglass vase filled with white chry- syathemums with bank of roses and ferns as background.
 The bride and groom stood under the arch while the minister united them. The mantle and large table in the dining room formed a background for the bridal party. The mantle was a mass of smilax and American Beau ty roses. On the table were the many beautiful and handsome wedding pres ents.
 Miss O'Connell wore fashionably tailored blue travelling suit with hat, gloves and shoes to match. To the strains of Mendelssohn' wedding march played by Miss Julia Williams, she and MT. Cunningham took their places under the arch and Monsg. Lu- cey said the service in a most impress sive manner.
 Directly after the ceremony the happy couple was driven to Union Station where they boarded the northbound Cotton Belt train for Memphis to spend a weeks honey moon.
 The immediate relatives and about twenty-five guests witnessed the ceremony. The only out-of-town guests were Miss Lissa Smith, of Alvin, Texas, and Miss Reese, of Little Rock.
 The numerous handsome wedding presents evidenced the popularity of the young couple. One of the most unique gifts was a magnificent wed- ding cake presented by Alex Lazarus. On top were the words, Good Wishes.'
 The bride is one of the most popu- lar society girls in the city. Possess ed of charming disposition she cas- fly wins and retains the friendship of all with whom she comes in con- tact.
