Moorestown Trust Company
Incorporated.

Honorable George Lamont, Commits
sioner of Banking and Insurance for the
state of New Jersey, has authorized and
approved of the incorporation of the
Moorestown Trust Company, to be located
at Moorestown, In this county.
The company has an authorized capital
of $780, all of which has been subscrib-
ed. The stockholders will pay 1925 per
share for their stock, thus assuring the
full paid in capital and surplus fund of
$25, 900 with which to begin business.
The company has secured an option on
central public location in Moorestown
for the site of its banking house, and will
start under the most suspicious circum-
stances, as over one hundred and
fifty of the leading business men of Bur
lington county have subscribed for
stock, thus insuring distribution of its
interest throughout the county. Practic-
ally every trade, profession and business
is represented among the stockholders.
1t is expected that the company will
have completed its organization, elected
its directors and officers and be prepared
to open its doors for business very soon.
Until the organization is actually com
pleted and the first meeting of the stock
holders held, It is impossible to say just
who the officers and directors of the COM
pany will be, but the personnel of the
stockholders is ample assurance that a
competent set of officers and board of
directors will be elected.
By reason of the well known fact that
the locality in which they propose doing
business is one of the most prosperous and
growing communities in the county, their
success is assured. The gentlemen inter-
ested in this proposition are to be con-
graduated upon securing the right to in
corporate. The commissioner withheld
his consent until he had thoroughly in
vestigated the matter and was convinced
that the organization of the company
would be of public service.

Some criminal business was transacted
at session of court held on Thursday.
William ii. Davis. occupying a tenant
house on the farm of Edward E. Logan,
on the south Pemberton road, pleaded
guilty to driving his family out of the
house with an axe while he was under the
influence of liquor late one night Be-
cause of those who depended upon him
for support, the man was lectured and
placed in charge of the probation officer.
A plea of guilty was entered by George
w. Goodwin. This is the fellow who
committed daring highway robbery on
January 10. While Powell Leeds, of
Moorestown, was driving toward Bridge
boro with his three children that night
he was held up at the point of revolver
by Goodwin, and compelled to hand over
his money. The prisoner has bad rec
ord. Judge Horner sentenced him 50
serve not less than two years and not
more than fifteen years In state prison.
For pawning pair of trousers which

county jail.
On January 81. while under the influ-
ence of liquor In Mount Holly, Tony
Trilo, Of Smithville badly frightened two
boys from that town. One, a cripple. was
being drawn about in an express wagon.
Trilo took the wagon away from the boys
and they had to go home as best they
could. The court deferred sentence. the
case being laid over for further consider
alton.
Julia Ransom. colored. pleaded guilty
to forging check on the Moorestown
National Bank for $57, to which she signed
the name of Ebenezer Hall. She told the
bank officials her name was Martha Brown
and she SO endorsed the check. The writ
ing of this name and that of Hall are en-
tirely different, which leads the authori-
ties to believe that the woman is expert
enced. The case was laid over for fur
Their consideration.

Government At Work.

Guess we will have to hold up on the
Bell Telephone Company. The United
States-a much larger affair than THE
NEws-is after the telephone people and
there is likely to be something doing
before long.
Formal notice has been served on the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that the company must answer to
complaints of independent companies that
1t is trust which is seeking unlawfully
to monopolize the telephone and tele-
graph business The commissions citation
declares:
Information has been lodged with this
commission to the effect that the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Company
by operations of itself and allied compan.
les is attempting the monopolize the tele-
phone and telegraph business of the
United States, and is fast driving out of
existence independent competitors and
further that this company and other tele-
phone and telegraph companies are guilty
of unlawful discrimination and are impos-
ing unreasonable rates, rules, regulations
and practices in the conduct of their bust
ness"
The probe to be conducted by the COM
mission will include investigation of the
compaDy's financial operations. rates and
growth. Determination to look into the
matter follows letter which Attorney
General Wickersham submitted to Chair
man Lane several weeks ago in which he
summed up the substance of complaints
made to the Department of Justice and
suggested that as the telephone and tele-
graph lines were under jurisdiction of the
commission that body make the inyesti-
cation.
The complaints, according to Wickers-
ham, were that the trust" has set out to
absorb independent lines, that it discrimi-
mates against the Independents In making
connections, that it discriminates against
the Postal Telegraph Company in making
telephone connections for transmission of
kilograms in favor of the Western Union
Company, large part of whose stock the
telephone company owns, and that rates
are unduly high where the trust has
monopoly of the telephone business
The company, generally known as the
Bell system. operates more than 4, 800, 900
telephones In about 70, 600 cities or places
throughout the country. 1t is bigger than
all its telephone competitors combined
and is said practically to control the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
Its cable lines.

Commercial LEAGUE Affairs.

The Commercial League of Mount
Holly held meeting Tuesday evening
and discussed number of subjects that
were thought to be of interest to the town.
The emptying into the Rancocas creek
of substances liable to fill up the stream
was considered at length. A communica-
ton had been sent to the War Depart
ment on this matter and in reply the
| official in charge Of the rivers in this
neighborhood sent letter In which he
stated the manner In which the League
should proceed to get thorough investi-
CATION. He also sent copy of the law
covering the subject and promised to give
the matter prompt attention when COM
plant was properly put before him.
The habit of loafing along the streets
was also considered 1t was charged hit
there are times when 1t is almost imp Ef-
bic for any one to pass certain place bn
the street without going off the sidev X.
The language used by the men and Eys
80 congregated ia unfit for any o. to
listen to, much less wives and daug IRIS.
and the secretary was instructed ball
the attention of the Township COMMITTEE
to the state of affairs and see if there can
not be some plan adopted to remedy it,
1t was decided to reduce the admission
fee to membership in the Commercial
League from five dollars to one dollar, as
1t has been the feeling for some time of
the members now affiliated that there has
been something that has deferred the
people of the town Especially those who
would be the greatest benefciaries in the
long rum from coming in and booming
things for the town. 1t is hoped now
with the small admission fee of one dollar
aud the small annual dues of five dollars
payable quarterly that our people will
come In and be boosters.
The town has much to be proud of-the
finest streets of any town In the state,
handsome homes. fine shade trees, the
best educational facilities and splendid
churches; the only drawback at present is
the deplorable condition of the streets
during and after a'rain. This 1t is hoped
will soon be eliminated by the Township
Committee taking some steps to have them
cleaned, especially those that can be
flushed and washed down as easily as the
main streets can be.

These cities are all larger and richer
than Washington. Mr.. Crisp proposes tC
value for taxation the taxed fraction OF
real estate and the limited personal prop
erty in Washington as worth more than
all OF Chicago. and not very much less
than Cleveland, Milwaukee, Cincinnati
and New Orleans combined.
Atlanta. Ga. with population of 154.s3s
lin 1870, has a total assessed valuation.
H91O> of sl20 $50. .49S. per capita assess
ed valuation of Sd1S.10 and per capita
tax levy of S9.133
Mr.. Crisp would value local Washing
ton. as coptrasted with these figures, at
1882. 100000. more than seven times as
much as Atlanta; would fasten Il per
capita assessment on Washngtonians of
s., $40. and would exact a per capita tax
levy of S43 ION the revenue estimate OF
S15. p i .92o). or of s3S (on his a tentative
revenue estimate of s13.699,623D or Of
Si4.50 (the property tax levy alone). At
the same time Mr.. Crisp says of Washing
ton: There are few manufactures III
Washington. very few wholesale houses,
practically no manufacturing Industries
or enterprises.
Mr.. Crisp proposes that the 10000 tax
payers of Washington, nearly all Of them
small property owners and taxpayers on
unpretenrious homes, shall pay tax levy
on their real estate alone of $40, 10000,
and in eXacting only this amount from

basis of assessment he poses as a sympa-
thetic and even teneerly considerate tax
gatEerer. The census of 1910 shows
that in that year the total tax levy on
! both realty and personally, general and
special and poll taxes all included, was
for Cleveland tRearly twice as large and
much more than twice as rich as Wash
ington S9,22S,210: for Detroit tmuch
larger and richer), s. 39O.6Si: for Milwau-
kee darger and rieher). s6.o66.6i0: FOR

for New Orleans Oarger and richer), So
3I;, ,92S; for Minneapo is (much richer and
about the same size, SJ.f93.O.s5. Mr..
Crisp jauntily proposes that the handful
of impecunious Washington home-own-
ers shall pay in taxes on their real es-
tate alone more than the combined tax
payers of Minneapolis and New Orleans
pay in taxes on their real and personal
property combined.
Louisville. Ky. (222:3;, ,92S population) and
Atlanta, Ca. 0J4, $3.50 have in combina-
ton g population of 31S.7 .76T compared
with 331 V69 population of WASHINGTON.
Louisville paid iii total tax levies 19io,
$3..14946. and Atlanta paid $l.J2f .164, an
aggregate for the two cities of 81. 13G, 10.

estate taxes alone from the smaller. num-
ber of persons in Washington more than
two and one-half times as much as is
co lected in total tax levies on both realty
