showed thdae Mr.. Roray was probably
fatally strhFken, and he advised that
his relatives be communicated with at
once Mr. Roray was given every pos
sible attention but never regained con-
sciousness and the end came shortly
after ten O'Clock last night.
The wife of Mr.. Roray died about
two years ago, while he was steward
of the almshouse, and his nearest rel
ativa is his son, Prof. Nelson l.. Ror-
ay, of Metuchen, N. J.
Last evening when the physician
pronounced him SO seriously sick,
word was sent to his son, and also to
William Burke, of Trenton, N. j., who
was life long friend.
Strangely coincident with the tele-
ceived from him few minutes later,
addressed to Mr.. Roray, the two tele-
grams having passed on he way. On
Monday Mr.. Roray and his friend, Mr..
Burke, were in Philadelphia purchas-
ing the jewels to be used in the install
lation of a new Masonic lodge at Pit
man this evening, and when the two
friends parted it was with the under
standing that they should meet there
this evening to take part in the cere-
monies of installation.
The telegram from Mr.. Burke to his
friend Mr.. Roray, was to the effect that
he was in Trenton hospital, with
an arm broken in two places as the
result of fall on the slippery side
walks The telegram sent from here,
contained far sadder tidings.
Benjamin F. Roray was for num-
ber of years steward in charge of the
Aims House of Cumberland County,
and widely known throughout the
State. He was particularly prominent
in Masonic affairs and for many years
was the District Deputy Grand Master
of this Masonic jurisdiction.
He was prominent figure in the
fraternity and has taken important
part in many of their ceremonies.
A few months ago Mr.. Roray suf-
fered a severe illness, which was really
the first serious illness of his life, and
while he had to all appearances re-
covered from it, yet he was never his
old self, and the sudden attack OF
paralysis yesterday, caused the end
to come quickly.

GOOD TINE
IN THE COUNTRY

There was big time down in Dutch
Neck last Monday night in spite of the
storm and the sleet.
Mr. Walter Glaspey reached his 32d
birthday and his neighbors knew of
it. They didn't do a thing but gather
themselves together and, to the num-
Der of tnirty-fve, assembled at his
homa. lie was-well, he was sur
prised.
But a most happy evening was
spent. Mr.. and Mrs. Glaspey made
their guests comfortable and gave
the house up to them, and they made
merry. Games, music and social chat
passed away the time and when all
was done in this line an elegant COL
lation was served.
When those Dutch Neck farmer folk
start in for thing they don't stop
until all comes to a successful and
pleasureable finish.

DEPUTY GAME
WARDENS CALLED

The most radical step ever taken by
any board was agreed to Saturday,
when the state fish and game commits
sioners decided to call in every deputy
fish and game warden commission and
let the owner show cause why he
should have it reissued. This step was
taken because the commissioners
found evidence that others than whom
they have entrusted their badges and
authority to have been parading them
and freely impersonating game war
dens and raising all sorts of trouble.
While the commissioners realize
that large force is necessary to ade-
qustely protect the game of the state,
they insist that it is good policy to
separate the drones from the live war
dens, and get at the fake wardens and
clear up all the trouble. There is to
be new deal all around, and the COM
nsisgi, sers. say that it is best to get
at those men who have used the
badges of deputies to save themselves
the expense of license for cunning,
and they also say that the public will
be surprised to find out how many
such men have been wearing fake
badges or borrowing those of deputies
to save themselves the expense of a
dollar license

sudden DEATH
OF B. F. R0RAY
Was Attacked by Paralysis
in Auto Truck.
DIED LAST EVENING.
Well Known in New Jersey Masonic
Circles Was County Official
for Many Years.

Benjamin T. Roray, for 13 years the
Steward of the Cumberland County
Aims House, died last evening, follow
ing sudden attack of paralysis in the
afternoon.
Since his stewardship at the Aims
House, Mr. Roray has been residing
at the homa of Charles F. Stremme
on Fayette street, for the past year.
Lately Mr.. Stremme has accepted
position in Burlington, N. j., and was
planning to have sale of household
goods on Thursday of this week, and
intended moving to Burlington to
make his home in the future.
Yesterday about noon, Mr.. Roray
engaged William A. Shull to take his
auto truck to Cedarville, for the pur
pose of securing a lot of goods which
he had stored in his house there,
with the idea of bringing them to
Bridgeton. They left here early in
the afternoon, went to Cedarville,
loaded the goods on the truck and
were returning to Bridgeton, every
thing going nicely. 1t was nearly four
O'Clock when the car reached Fairton,
and going up the long hill, Mr.. Shull
noticed that Mr. Roray leaned rather
heavily against him.
Being engaged with operating his
car, and thinking that Mr.: Roray was
simply moving over to keep out of the
cold, he spoke to him and asked If he
was feeling all right, and Mr.. Roray
answered that he was. A few minutes
later when the car struck the even
Grade, and MIR. Shull could do so, he
looked more closely and found that
Mr. Roray was practically unconscious
and very sick man.
Mr.. Shull then used every effort to
reach this city quickly and soon ar
rived at the Stremme home on Fay
cite street. A physician was at once
summoned and by this time, Mr..
Roray was so helpless that it required
several strong men to carry him from
the car and into the house.
DIR. John C. Loper arrived almost
Immediately and his examination

DISTRICT GETS 'GO-BY'
House Again Fails to Consider
Legislation for the
Capital.

The District of Columbia received the
"go-by' in the House today-District
day--for the third consecutive time be-
ing passed over.
When the session opened Representa-
tive Ben Johnson stalked into the cham
Der. and addressed the chair. saying he
must insist upon the Districts receiving
consideration today.
But the House at that moment was
considering a resolution allowing CASH
ier Riddell of the sergeant-at-arms Of
fee, to sign their pay checks, and Mr..
johnson gave way.
Then followed a political play in which
letters of Col Roosevelt had their part.
Finally Representative Underwood. ma
jority leader. moved that the House take
up the consideration of bills on the pub
lie calendar until the Riddell resolution
could be engrossed and ready for final
action. This plan was adopted. In the
meantime Representative johnson had
vanished from sight.
