The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1913-03-25

IT WAS freely predicted that when Gov
ernor Wilson left the state and took the
chair of the President Of the United States
there would not be that harmonious
action In legislative halls that had been
apparent while Mr.. Wilson was on hand
to look after things. This prediction has
been verified and the first clash came on
the bill to create what has been called
.'jury reform. This sounds well but 1t
was q measure whereby the selection OF
Jurors was to be taken from the hands of
those chosen by the people to perform
that duty and place 1t In the hands of men
selected by the Governor of the state. A
referendum clause was tackled on to the
bill, which would give the people chance
to say whether they wanted that system
in their county. The President telegraph
ed that he did not want any such legis-
lation and a bill was passed by the Senate
providing for the appointment of jury
commissioners, but when 1t got to the
Assembly the referendum bobbed up and
was adopted. the wishes of the President
and the acting Governor to the contrary
notwithstanding. And that will about
end the matter as 1t ought to. Sheriffs
may have been open to criticism and may
continue to be so, but what guarantee is
there that commissioners appointed by
partisan Governors for partisan purposes
viii be any improvement

A lively contest for members of the
board of education resulted In the election
of John l. Bishop, John P. Hutchinson
and Joseph Il. Armstrong, last Tuesday
evening. AS the former gentlemen are
mainly responsible for the defeat OF the
$25, 900 appropriation which the board
of education has asked to build a new
school house at Columbus, the opponents
of education are highly elated and seem
to think that the matter is now definitely
settled. The local board seems to be con.
WINGED that the county and state school
authorities are playing a thimble game
with them, and so the war goes merrily
on. We believe the new members Of the
board will soon be working to enforce
the laws of the state which regulate
the public schools and the expenditures of
the public money for educational pur-
poses.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE

For the edi6cation of our many readers
we take pleasure in giving brief outline
of the many notable successes which all
over the country have met with enthu-
siastic reception at the hands of theatre
patrons and soon to be given by the emf
mentally popular Orpheum Players, at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia.
Starting Easter Monday, March ID, that
great play 1.-THE Man from Home" by
the we1l-known authors, Leon Wilson and
Booth Harrington, will be given with
sumptuous stage settings, BETTING the
long sterling record of the players as
Americas leading stock organization.
And; further, this is the first time at pop
ular prices since the initial engagement
which scored a run of packed houses of
some twenty weeks. Those who have
seen that rare gem in comedy by Louis N.
Parker, author of "Disraeh," called "Po-
mander Walk cannot but affirm any
thing but the highest praise for this ex-
ceptional work. which is to be given for
the week of March 81. Another and per-
haps the most notable work of the stage
offerings in recent years will be seen here
for the first time for the week of April 7,
called ''The New Sin, one of the most
dramatic and impressive studies of stage
product of the present day. The work is
from the brain of the great mind of Basil
Macdonald Hastings and comes endorsed
by men of letters and standing in all that
the above implies. In strong contrast,
1.-THE Talker," a comedy full of action
and merit, follows for April II, and brings
with it cheerful memory of the previous
production at the Lyric Theatre. Grace
Livingstone Furness, author of 'The
Man on the Case" which is to be pro-
duced April II, has added to her reputa-
ton greatly, making many features in
the play in measure of the nature OF
"Sherlock Holmes, /" but has held to the

Court.

Some criminal cases were disposed OF
by Judge Horner on Thursday. Bennett
Risdon, a Mount Holly justice of the
peace, who had previously entered plea
of guilty to embezzlement from Holdings
head & Company, Of Camden, by using
money which he had collected on claims
of that firm, came up for sentence. Be
fore final disposition of the case was
made, however, the court told Risdon that
his conduct was a detriment to society,
and that while the amount involved was
small he was deserving of severe punish
ment. The defendant was given to under
stand that his trouble was due to an ex-
aggerated thirst for liquor, and that In
this respect he has reached low level in
the estimation of citizens AS restitution
had been made, and as Risdon had resign
ed his Office and would not take out new
commission on May 1, the court was leni-
ent by suspending sentence. Judge Hor-
ner placed Risdon in charge of the pro-
baton officer. He is TO pay all costs and
become total abstainer and If he is seen
to drink or even show the effects Of liquor,
he will be arrested and punished.
There was surprise when Jesse II. Jones,
of Masonville, appeared before the bar,
charged with committing a criminal as
sault upon girl 10 years old. When
arrested on Tuesday and given hearing
before Justice Heilbron, he was held under
81 900 bail after denying the charge.
When arraigned before Judge Horner he
pleaded guilty. In explaining the matter
he told how the girl was in his mill play
ing on some bags contrary to his orders,
and as a result of efforts to get her away
said he had been caught in trap. The
defendant bears an excellent reputation at
Masonville. and people there promise him
support, as they do not believe his guilt.
The matter will be further investigated.
The next case interested William Field
err. He pleaded guilty of breaking and
entering the house Of Cora Pippitt, al
Bordentown, and taking goods amounting
at $25. There is to be further investi
CATION of this case. Harry Weidler, o.
Burlington, appeared In court as an ole
offender, and was loathe to tell how many
times he had been arrested. He recently
struck his wife over the head with cane
and as the defendant said she was partl,
!. responsible for the assault, sentence wa
postponed. He was a probationer unde
similar charge when arrested.
The records are to be Investigated o
Harry Myers and Joseph Henry, tw
strangers who stole 81 from Burlington

EVERY Monday there appears In the
Philadelphia Record long letter from the
pen of that papers special correspondent,
in which the situation at Trenton and
throughout the state Is reviewed at length.
Up to date the letters have been rosy and
showed how former Governor Wilson had
q firm hold upon the people and the mem
bers of the Legislature; how his every
wish was to be obeyed and how the
Democratic party was going to bow In
sweet submission to his will. But yester
days epistle was more of a wall than an
Easter anthem. The jury reform bill is
the rock on which the party seems to be
about to split. The Record speaks of the
breaking away from the former Governor
and says:
'sHow this situation Is to cleared up and
ANYTHING satisfactory won out of 1t does
not seem quite plain. Perhaps Senator
Davis. the majority leader and State
Treasurer Grosscup, the new party chair
man, who were summoned to consult with
the President. will be able to steer the
matter through In some shape, but nobody
enyies them the task 1t has happened
just as had been expected. The Wilson
influence seems to have been given dig
under the ribs. Nobody appears to have
fallen heir to the mantle. Those who had
been watching and waiting for some shred
OF excuse for breaking away are coming
gradually out into the open, and no man
In the State seems able to hold the lines
intact"
1T has happened just as had been ex
pected, the Wilson influence seems to
have been given dig under the ribs, :
says the letter. but before this there had
been feeling of perfect safety, and an
assurance that 'the distance between
Washington and Trenton was not very
great" The Record feels that the Presi-
dent will not suffer because he is entirely
removed from its influence, but he seems
to be getting into the limelIght just the
same 1t says the sinister influence of the
old gang is seen daily, but whether that
influence is to triumph remains to be seen.
IF the President can prevent 1t, 1t will
be shunted and cast aside for keeps, but
unfortunately such influences are not
readily destroyed; their roots go so far
they are hard to dig out" And all this
from the pen of one who has predicted
that the old gang could never get in again
and that Democratic victory and possess.
ion were assured. Truly there seems to
have come q change over the situation.
