SERIOUS MATTERS
BEFORE THE MAYOR

Mayor Whitaker had more business
at City Hall last night. Walter M.
Jordan, who runs an auto On the Sal
EN- line, came in and paid fine of $40
for speeding his auto on Broad street.
He did not demur when presented
with the evidence, but said he must
be guilty and would take the dose.
Philip Bridgeman, who was with
the bunch of crap shooters, who were
fined the night before, walked in and
said he was desirous of paying his
fine; he left the amounts.
Leonard Morris, boy, was commit
ted by the Mayor for court on the
charge of larceny of three watches
from E. c. Albertson.
The Mayor stated that the boy had
gone to Albertson's, giving the name
OF another 10y, Leland Loper, with
whose mother Mr.. Albertson was ac-
quainted, and stated that his mother
wanted him, Mr.. Albertson, to send
her up some watches for her to select
one for birthday present for himself.
Mr.. Albertson let him have three
watches, taking the boys receipt for
them, the boy signing his name Leland
Loper.
Later it was learned that the boy
was not Loper, but Leonard Morris.
1t was also learned that he had taken
the watches to a pool room and given
them to some colored men who took
them to the pawn shop on q. Com
merce street. and pawned two of them.
The boy admitted to the Mayor the
whole transaction, and the pawnbrok-
er is now in fair way to lose his
license as a pawnbroker, as he re-
fused to surrender the two watches
which were pawned with him unless
the money he advanced is refunded.
The boy is likely to face Judge
fuller next Friday.
This morning colored boy by the
name OF Turpin brought the third
watch in to the Mayor and stated that
the boy had given it to him to pawn
for him, wanting IS on it. He did not
do so, but brought it in to the Mayor
the first day he got off from his work,
which is today.

fectly willing, but as members of the
Board of Estimate, when they had
suggested such a measure, they were
informed that such a proceeding could
not be created under the present law.
The call for the vote on the motion
to proceed with the preparation of the
bond ordinances, was lost by a tie
vote of to 8.

BRIDGETON PAIR
CAUGHT IN PA.
Nasty Scandal Terminates in
Arrests.
COUPLE ElOPED HERE.
Burtei Won Philip and Miss Susan
D. Bonham Eloped from Here
Now Caught.

The following telegraphic story ap-
peared in the metropolitan papers
this morning:
Easton, Pa, Aug 19.-After a chase
that is said to have led from Bridge
ton, N. j., to the Pacific coast and
then back to Easton, Buriel Won Philip,
mechanical engineer and inventor.
and Miss Susan D. Bonham, a trained
nurse, were arrested on the Free
mansburg pike, near Easton, at mid
night, by Detective George H. Jacobs,
OF Camden, N. j.; Detective Harry
Brown, of Nazareth, and Roundsman
Moll, of the Easton police force, on
charges preferred by Jacobs on behalf
of Mrs. Won Philip. They are held
pending a hearing.
When the officers forced an entrance
to the house occupied by the pair, Won
Philip is said TO have excitedly ex-
claimed that the woman was his wife.
Miss Bonham, who appeared to be lit
tie disturbed over the arrest, said she
would make statement in due time.
According to Jacobs, VonPhilp, who
is son of Casimir vonPhilp, head
draughtsman for the Bethlehem Steel
Company was married to PhiladeI-
phia girl in 1901. 1t is alleged that he
deserted and returned TO her several
times. Last December, the pair moved
to Bridgeton, and within a. month,
according to the officer, VonPhilp had
again deserted his wife and eloped
with the young woman, going to the
Pacific coast.
Mrs. VonPhilp engaged attorneys to
represent her and they sent Jacobs to
Br1dgeton to remain there until Miss
Bonham returned. In May she visited
relatives in Bridgeton, and Jacobs
kept watch on her, following her to
Philadelphia and later to South Beth
lehem. There he lost trace of her.
Yesterday while standing on North
ampton street, Easton, he saw Won
Philip drive by in high-powered au-
tomobile. He traced him to the Free
mansburg road, where he found Won
Philip had leased house and was
erecting a handsome dwelling for
himself. He swore out complaints
and waited until midnight to enter the
dwelling.
Both VonPbilp and his father are
the owners of patent rights that bring
them in handsome royalty. The
young man was recently employed by
large engineering firm in this city,
and is said to have been associated
with recently organized company
for the manufacture of printing press
es.

es new thought and drives home her
arguments with irresistible force.
Mrs. Armour confesses that she is en-
Unused with the no-license campaign
for Cumberland County and she has
sacrificed herself to arrange to take
an active part in the campaign. Last
night Mrs. Armour reached the hearts
OF the people in the First Presbyter-
Ian Church and she awakened much
enthusiasm with her arguments for
the no-license campaign in Cumber-
land.
In every way the exercises and ad-
dresses of yesterday and last night
were of the utmost importance.

Stokes WILL Be
A CANDIDATE
Accepts the Demand of Many
People.
he IS NOT AMBITIOUS
Former Governor Will Permit His
Name to Go Before Primary
Issues Statement.

Urged by Republicans from all about
the State together with many former
Progressives, to become a candidate
for Governor, Hon. Edward c. Stokes
yesterday made reply to the many re-
quests in formal, plain and digni-
fed statement, as follows:
81 have had a large number of re-
quests in person, by letter, by petit
tion and by resolution to become
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor. I have decided
to ascertain how far these requests
represent real substantial public SEN
timent on this question and to that
end l shall submit my name as a can
didate for the nomination for Cover
nor to the Republican primaries in
accordance with the laws of the State.
my attitude toward this honor must
be by this time we, understood. 1
have not sought il have been Gov
ernor of his Stata and for me Sec
ond term awakens no personal ambi-
tions. The only incentive I could have
would be one of civic duty If the
people think 1 can be of service in this
emergency / am bound to consider
their wishes. These wishes must first
be expressed at the primary. If the
voters think some one else can serve
them better or as we'll, I shall be en-
tirely content. If they feel that l
Dshould be their candidate, and so ex-
press themselves at the primary. 1
shall make the best fight can for the
principles and policies of the party
from the day of the nomination to the
day of election. I am subject to the
party call, if the call is made by the
rank and file.
AS l am, therefore, receptive and
not self-seeking candidate, l shall
enter into no disputes or discussions
with anyone as to the merits of my
candidacy. That question I leave en-
tirely to the people to decide. Politics
is not game, but serious duty in
volving responsibility and trust.
Il am not an enthusiast over the
modern custom that prevails of pro-
claiming my platform to the world.
The people should make the platform
themselves. The Geran law provides
the time and place when they shall do
it through their accredited represen-
tatlves. 1 shall, however, in the near
future, issue statement outlining
the work of the party on progressive
measures and declaring in general
what think the attitude of the party
should be on progressive policies and
party organization. The voters have
right to know what think the Re-
publican party stands for and what it
ought to stand for and what I shall
insist it must stand for if I should be
chosen to lead its fortunes.
This statement is meant in no wise
TO Interfere with the ambitions of any
other candidate or candidates, nor is
1t to be regarded as a criticism of
Them If they prefer to take active
means to press their claims and if
anyone of them should win he will

There was a very large attendance
at the rally at Robbins Grove, Port
Norris, and that too despite the rather
dlsagreeable weather which prevailed.
The rally was presided over by the
County President, Mrs. Belle Bowden.
of Shiloh.
The campaign was opened for a sa-
loonless county, and it was a practi-
cal beginning and the plans provided
for practical, vigorous and unyield-
ing fight for the elimination of the
few saloons that are now conducted
here under the guise of taverns.
In Port Norris yesterday a sum of
1875 was raised by the rally follow
ers, and at present it is proposed to
use as much of this money as neces-
sary to fight any application for Ii
cense for the Port Norris hotel, which
is now closed. 1t is understood that
application for a barroom license will
be made shortly to the court in the
name of some person not heretofore
connected with the hotel. The w. C.
t. U. will lead the campaign against
the application.
All of the exercises of the day were
especially interesting and pleasing
and held the invidual attention of the
many people who were present.
Mrs. Mary Harris Armour, of Geor-
gia, was the principal speaker at Port
Norris and at the mass meeting at
the First Presbyterian Church. Mrs.
Armour is a wonderful woman and is
constantly engaged upon the temper
ance platform. So much in demand
are her services that she is engaged
for two years ahead. Among the en-
gagements that she has made is to
spend part of the month of October,
1914, here when the local option cam
paign is again on in Bridgeton.
Mrs. Armour is eloquent, has hap
py way of expressing herself, express

time picking the rawlings off her hus-
bands clothes.

has passed the House. a fight extending
over many days in which both sides Of
the Senate had been divided, ended when

his bill for the House bill was carried
by vote of 81 TO 90
The original House bill appropriated the
maximum sum OF approximately S.5OOp
for the establishment OF extension depart
