Across the Sea.

Many of our readers arc perhaps aware
of the fact that there is high tower at
l'uckerton which has been built by a
German-American syndicate, with the
purpose of establishing communication
between this country and Germany.
This tower is over 800 feet high. The At
lantic coast was carefully examined and
the spot at Tuckerton was decided upon
as the most adaptable for the contem-
plated project. While the tower was be
ing erected it was an object of great
interest to visitors who still 90 to
the place for the express purpose of gaz-
ing at the structure from top to bottom
for the place is SO carefully guarded that
one cannot get close to it,
Last week came the news that New
Jersey had been put on the map with
Tuckerton as the honored spot The
story went that a message had been
flashed across the sea to Germany, 1000
miles away. At once there was rush
OF people, newspaper correspondents and
others, who wished to see if the report
was true. But it was of no use. The
guards around the place were doubled
and watchmen said they had been told
to keep as mute as a Tuckerton oyster
on whatever they might see or hear.
The report from Berlin that communi-
cation was established on October p is
believed at Tuckerton and by the coast
guard crews. 1t is now recalled that on
or about the 9th there was unusual
activity about the station, and an Ameri-
can and German flag were displayed
side by side at the top of the tower
December was fixed as the probable
date for the achievement, and the
rumors that are flying around the
locality of the tower seem to indicate
that the job was hauled off ahead of
time

Had His Skull Fractured

While riding motorcycle at a rapid
rate OF speed Sunday afternoon, Samuel
Berbuccinl, % years old, of Florence,
was SO badly injured that he died three
hours later in st. Francis hospital, Tren-
ton.
The young rider sustained a fractured
skull and never regained consciousness
after his machine skidded and crashed
into telegraph pole. He left home early
Sunday and rode to Roebling. About 2
o'clock ne started for Florence, and is
said to have been riding very fast.
When near Roebling his machine be-
gan to skid, and before he could control
it he crashed into a telegraph pole Ber-
buccini was thrown clear over the handle
bars, and his head struck the pole with
great force.
A short time afterwards passerby
found the injured youth lying against
the pole. His badly wrecked machine
lay several feet away.

Board of Freeholders,

The board held a special session yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of tax
ing action relative to the acceptance of
specifications and advertising for resur-
facing stone roads.
The board including engineer Logan
and supervisor Roberts, received an in
vitation, to attend the congress of the
American Road Builders Association
in Philadelphia from December to ID.
The invitation was accepted.
In answer to notice sent the town.
ship committee of Riverside to get busy
and clean the litter from county roads
left by those who had laid concrete walks
in that town, solicitor Rigg had received
letter stating that as they had COM
piled with this request, the county was
now asked to clean it's own roads in that
town.
This communication was in the nature
of a comeback, but failed in its purpose,
as director Russ reported that the dirt
complained of was still living in the
streets and that the township committee
had done nothing in the matter. The
director and supervisor will take charge
of the affair.
Mr.. Dudley reported that during fog
few days ago man nearly drove off
the road and just escaped falling into
the meadows at the approach to Centre
ton bridge because of the absence of fen
ders which are badly needed there. The
director will see what can be done, but
there is no money to work with.
The board reported there was not
enough money to pay election officers
with.
Specifications prepared by engineer
Logan, perhaps the best ever presented
to the board, for resurfacing a half mile
on the road from Mansfield Square to
Bordentown, and for rubble pavement
on portion of Chester avenue, Moores-
town, were read and accepted. After
being approved by the state bids will be
advertised for
Printed muslin signs were distributed,
to be posted at all bridges in the county.
The director said that men with stop
watches would be stationed at certain
bridges TO keep tab on the speed of per-
sons crossing in automobiles or other
wise. The minimum fine of SO will be
imposed on all violating the law.
Because it had been necessary to close
which is unsafe, Mr.. Maxwell said that
a bill would be presented by ID. d. Cram
er for the second handling of 12-ton
scow of hay, made necessary by inability
to open the draw. AS the bill cannot be
paid this year, note was made for the
new board.
The Burlington County Traction Co
is to be notified of the bad condition of
planking between the rails on the Wash
ington street bridge, Mount Holly.

The Income Tax.

The new income tax which is now
levied by the United States is the sub
ject of much discussion and it is difficult
to get intelligent opinions on the work.
ing of the law The following COM
munications, published in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, will give an idea of how
some people regard the subject
To the Editor Of the Public Ledger:
Sir-I am enclosing you copy of
thing presented to me by my bank to-
day when | offered for deposit few
modest coupons, without which they
could not be deposited. If there is a
man alive, including the gentlemen who
made the thing, and so kindly exempted
themselves from its operation, who can
solve the puzzle, for heavens sake tell
the country who he is. / suppose the
able college president, who is our sover-
eign, by having recourse to logarithms,
might do this. But, certainly no one
else. Good Lord! And, at least three
times a year we must go through this!
Well | have been Democrat all my
life, but if ever | vote for another may
be shot. We have never yet had an
opportunity to make fools of ourselves
that we didn't do it. OF course, the
Republicans are rotten-but they know
how to govern. The Democrats are
honest but fools. Between the two IN
take chances hereafter with the rotters
in preference to college presidents and
wind bags.
DANIEL.
Philadelphia, November 10, 1918.
To the Editor Of the Public Ledger:
Sir-I want to say ditto to "Danel' in
today's paper. |, too, have been life
long Democrat, but want to be branded
with 1.-The fools" no longer, which re-
minds me of what prominent Balti-
MORGAN said some years ago: 81 am a
Democrat, dyed in the wool, but always
vote the Republican ticket where my
pocket is involved"
One phase of the income tax must
have struck every one, yet | have seen no
mention of it in the public press. This is
the only country in the world that
legislates against marriage. A man and
woman not related can live together
and have an exemption of $4,000. But
let them marry and they pay the penalty
by having $1,000 Topped off their exemp-
ton. Or, as | know of case, where a
| brother and three sisters live together
with an exemption to the household OF
81, 600, while man and his wife, with
two children, living together, have but
$1,000 exemption. Is this moral, fair
honest or legal, when the law provides
that all taxation shall be equal?

Marshal Alcott has Resigned.

Notwithstanding he has until the first
of next April in which to serve as United
States Marshal, Hon. Thomas J. Alcott
has sent his resignation to President
Wilson, who has instructed the Attor-
ney-General to accept it, to take effect
on Saturday.
Marshal Alcott has held the Office he
will now relinquish since 1897. During
the past few months he has not been in
rugged health and found the duties of
the Office weighing upon him more than
he desired. He deemed it duty to him
self to get out of the strenuous life before
complete breakdown was the result of
continuing in service.
The retiring Marshal has been faith
full and an efficient official. When he
took charge of the position he determined
that the work assigned to him should be
personally conducted to the extent of
his powers. 1t is the faithful attention
to all details that has weighed upon
Marshal Alcott. He has always been
great traveller While other marshals
trust much of the road work to their
deputies he has always led in this por-
ton of the work. 1t is a safe statement
that he has served more writs than any
other five marshals in. the United States.
A rough estimate of his travelling to
ScINt Wits WAS uldut anu IL showed
30, 900 miles year for sixteen years, or
100000 miles. This would mean more
| than fifteen times around the world at
| the equator and he never lost prisoner
His record is among the highest in the
| United States.
The terms of the deputies in the office
will expire with that of the marshal
Included among the deputies is Edwin
X. Semple.
The following correspondence passed
between Marshal Alcott and the Attorney
General of the United States:
| Trenton, November 5, 1918
To the Attorney General
Washington, d. c.
Sir: | beg to hand you herewith my
resignation as United States Marshal
for the district of New Jersey, to take
effect at the close of business on Novem-
Der %, 1913. | regret that | am impelled
to take this step, but unusual and con-
tinued poor health makes it imperative
that | should be relieved of all business
cares and thus enabled to take much
needed rest.
Respectfully
Thomas ]. Alcott
United States Marshal
The reply of the Attorney General was
as follows:
Washington, d. c., November IL, 1913
Thomas j. Alcott, Esq,
United States Marshal
Mount Holly, New Jersey
Dear Sir: By direction of the Presi-
dent, | hereby accept your resignation
as United Stares Marshal for the District
of New Jersey, rendered by you in your
letter of November 3, to take effect al
the close of business on November %.
: Permit me to express my regret that
continued ill health has rendered it
imperative for you to sever yourself from
the public Office. With best wishes,

Good Work hv Eiremen

That chemical engine is good piece
of apparatus to own in connection with
any fire department, was illustrated on
Wednesday morning, when the chemi-
cal of the Union Hose Company went
changing out Garden street attached to
a large automobile owned by William
A. Jones, to Mt. Pleasant farm near
Georgetown, which is operated by Wat
son y. Fort and owned by b. F. Hay
wood Shreve, of Mount Holly. A crew
to operate the chemical was in charge of
Lorenzo l.. Sapp, chief of the fire de-
partment, and they made the distance
OF eleven miles in record time. They
arrived none too soon, as they found the
members of the Franklin Hose Com
pany, of Columbus, exhausted from the
work of pumping their hand engine.
The Mount Holly firemen found one
barn 3SXl20 feet about half consumed,
so they directed their efforts to saving
another large barn only few feet away
and which was blazing on one end when
they arrived on the scene. To save this
structure the men climbed ladders and
worked a few minutes at time in re-
lays until the intense heat forced them
to let go of nozzle and slide to the
ground for self-protection. While en-
gagged in this work Chief Sapp and a
member of the Union Company had
the backs of their right hands burned to
blister. BY sticking at their job they
saved property to the probable value Of I
$1,000 The Columbus people were so !
enthusiastic over the successful work /
done by the chemical, that they re-
1uested Chief Sapp to have the manu-
lecturers send representative to Col Il
lmbus, as it was desired to purchase
such machine. The fire was discov-
cred in the NOV at s o'clock, and it was
~ O'Clock when the chemical left Mount
Holly. The flames smouldered in one
hundred tons of hay for two hours be-
ore they broke out. The barn contain
I'd concrete floor and it was up to date
With regard to sanitary appointments,
There is partial insurance on the loss of
lbout $1,000 sustained by Mr.. Shreve,
who, with Mr.. Fort, has asked The
NEWS to extend their grateful thanks
o Chief Sapp and the members of the
Mon Hose Company, to the Columbus
ire department and to their many other
friends who worked so hard and so will
ngly at the fire.

New EpvDt

From the determined stand which
people at New Egypt have taken, be-
cause of several attempts made to hold
up residents in that neighborhood, the
three people who have been engaged in
that sort of business are likely to get
shot if they keep up such work, as some
of those travelling at night have armed
themselves to meet such an emergency.
