ont his knowledge or solicitation and if
any ballots with his name on were put
in the box at the election it was against
his desire. Prosecutor Atkinson said he
could not see where Dreas could be held
and while the grand jury had looked
carefully into all the cases there had
evidently been a mistake here. So Mr..
Dreas was allowed to depart.
Harry Bowker, Atwood Harker and
Harold OF Harker, Springfield township,
sentenced for atrocious assault and bat
terry on Frank 5. Wells and Levi Fox.
Bowker is on parole from the state re-
formatory and he was sentenced to the
state prison for term not less than
eighteen months nor more than seven
years. The Harker boys were given a
wholesome lecture by the court. Atwood,
who is II years of age, was fined 500.
Harold, who is but IA, was ordered to
pay the costs of prosecution in all of the
indictments against the three men. The
Harkers had gone before the Prosecutor
and had made clean breast of the en-
tire affair and had furnished sufficient
evidence on which to get the matter
properly before the court.
At the afternoon session the trial of
Bertha and Gratz Higgins for assault
and battery on Anna Higgins, was
begun. The child is the daughter of
Gratz Higgins and the woman is his
second wife, the stepmother of the girl.
The testimony did not connect the hus-
band with the charge and the court
ordered him released. The evidence was
that the stepmother had whipped the
girl to such an extent as to draw the
attention off the neighbors who inter
fered. They claimed the child was badly
bruised and the matter was Investigated
the result being that the little girl was
taken to the state home at Trenton
where she now lives. The woman adj
mitted that she whipped the child but
claimed she did not use undue violence.
Some of the bruises that were noticed on
the little girl were claimed to be the
result of fall from a seesaw. Judge
Homer charged the jury that there was
but one point to the case and that was
whether undue violence had been used
in the admitted punishment and the
jury returned verdict of guilty.
Court then took a recess until Thurs
day morning.

allowed to escape while Louis Kuehnle,
of Atlantic City, has gone to the state
prison on similar complaint. This is
easily explained. The opinion rendered
in the Atlantic City case whereby
Kuehnle was sent to Trenton, stated it
was not a crime for man in business to
be interested in contracts with public de-
partments of which he might be men,
Der if it were shown that the city or
municipality was not injured. In the
case of Kuehnle he had ''stool pigeon
put in bids and then sublet them to the
firm with which the prisoner was inter-
ested; and it was shown that there was
not only collision but that the prices for
the work were higher than other firms
would have charged. In the case of Mr..
Haines, advertising and printing were
done by his company on order of heads
of different departments, and the first
intimation he would have of many OF
the transactions would be when the bill
was read in Council. In his investiga-
ton Prosecutor Atkinson found that the
prices for the advertising were those fixed
| by law, and which would have to be
paid to any other paper, and this
coupled with the fact that Mr.. Haine:
did not solicit or order the work, settled
that point. On the charges for printing
bills and pamphlets, ordered as stated
above by department. superintendent, i
was shown that none of the work wa'
charged for exorbitantly and that some
of it was done at cheaper price thar
could have been secured elsewhere. TAX

WITH the passing of 1913 there went
out of existence body that came into
power with shadow hanging over it
and which was hampered and criticised
in reinforcement But the members
of the small Board of Freeholders kept
right on with their work, and it must be
acknowledged that the county is in no
worse condition than it was at the begin
ming of last year-in fact the board that
has just taken possession of affairs Will
find things in better shape than when
the small board took hold. The new
body is large and it must be admitted il
is rather unwieldy. If proceedings OF
the organization meeting are to be
taken as an example there are stormy
times ahead and it will require good gen.
eralship to keep things moving smooth
ly. it's to be hoped there will not be
any friction and that all experiences that
have been noticed in the past will not be
repeated. The new board has an elegant
chance to make good record and the
retiring board is entitled to credit for the
good work it has done.

Few cases attracted more attention at
court last week than those in which can
didates for election had neglected to file
their account of expenses in the contest
which they conducted. The law is plain
on the subject, and there was but one
thing for the men brought before the
court to do and that was to plead guilty.
The fine of S. imposed was light and
was meant to serve as a warning that
this part of the law must be observed.
In nearly every case the neglect was the
result either of ignorance of the law, or
too much reliance upon the word of an
other. In some cases the township clerks
had told the candidates that, not having
expended any money, it was not neces-
sary to file statement. In one case the
candidate discovered on the last day
that he had to file a report He could
not do it in the required time and he got
the paper in the following day, but he
was outside the limit. He is gentle
.aan of much intelligence, and his
standing in the community makes it
certain that he did not intentionally do
wrong, but he got caught. While the
statute is meant to prevent corrupt prac-
tice in elections it does seem to be hard
that man put on ticket merely to
have the ballot made complete, having no
desire for or expectation of election, who
does not expend cent or solicit vote,
should be brought up by grand jury
and branded as lawbreaker for not Ill
ing sworn statement that he did not
have any expenses in connection with
his candidacy. But as Judge Horner
said, it is the law, something that the
court or jury have nothing to do with,
except to see to its enforcement. 1t has
been suggested and the idea is good
one, that an amendment should be made
to the law making it mandatory upon
the county clerk to notify every candi-
date for election-general or primary
that he must, within a certain limit, file
with the county clerk instead of the
municipal clerk as now provided, a
statement of his expenses. This would
do away with all excuse that some one
had said it was not necessary, or had
told the candidate that there was plenty
of time, or anything of that sort. One
official would be in charge, there would
be but one place to send the reports, and
there would be complete record in
every case.
