Special Correspondence Of The Star
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., June 13.-
These are the days of happiness and joy
for the ancient mariner and old salt
who infest the inlet wharves. All
through the long winter they have
gathered at various rendezvous along
the Absecon Island shore, but always
within sight of the sea, and have talked
over old times. much like veterans of
the rebellion fighting their old battles
over again. But it is time for action
again. for some of the old salts. Some
Of them there are. Of course. who have
cruised their last cruise and these
veterans must sit upon the dock while
younger men take the sailing parties
out for spin. OF course the younger
men do not handle their boats half
right-from the viewpoint of the veteran
on the dock; he and his compatriots did
it much better in the olden days, and
he is not at all backward about tell
ing the younger shippers where they
err. But they pay little or no heed to
the ancient one. and he chews his to-
bacco quid little harder because his
advice is spurned, and expectorates
viciously.
And the tales the wise shippers tell
the credulous inlanders. And the
straight faces Iney keep Wnlle telllnS
them. But the inland voyager believes
the tales; is glad to believe them
they vary the monotony of league after
league of tumbling blue waters-and
stores them up to tell the unfortunate
villager who has not been fortunate
enough to get down to Atlantic yet
this summer.
The Boardwalk itself is a veritable
mine of attractions from end to end.
But the visitor desires a change, tenn
porarily, even from the study of man
kind and the sea. and he seeks the
other interesting points on the schedule.
Several are briefly mentioned here:
Absecon lighthouse. famed the world
around, is on Pacific avenue, between
Vermont and Rhode Island avenues.
Visitors are permitted to ascend the
167-foot tower and gaze far across the
tumbling sea; hours from 10 am. to

THESE NAMES TO
Be MADE PUBLIC
MANY BRUNSWICK MEN SIGNED
PETITION FOR AND AGAINST
"cHIcKEN ORDINANCE"

At meeting OF council Monday
night 1t developed that some 25 or 80
people had signed both petitions
for and against the new COW and
chicken ordinance, and Alderman Lud-
wig put through motion that the
clerk should check up both petitions
and report to council t the meeting
today the names that appear in dupli-
cate, which means that they will be
entered on the minutes of council
and published.
At the present time it rather looks
as though some one had been 'strad-
ling" the fence for what purpose it
is pretty hard to say. Perhaps they
were coerced by wife, or best girl,
or switched their views after signing
one Of the petitions, or, as is often
the case, people sign papers of this
character without investigation, or
knowledge OF what they are signing.
But the fact remains that about the
number stated are on both petitions
and no doubt will have some "explain-
ing" to do after the minutes of the
next council meeting are published

CLUBS MUST ALL
CLOSE ON SUNDAYS
CHIEF OF POLlUE OWENS AN
NoUNCES THAT THIS LAW
WILL BE ENFORCED.

Chief of Police Owens Yesterday
notified all the clubs in the city that
hereafter they must remain closed on
Sunday, that the doors must be lock-
ed and absolutely no one admitted to
the rooms.
when seen by a News reporter Chief
Owens said that The order was TO be-.
come effective at once and that be.
ginning next Sunday the clubs must
close on that day, and to see that the
order is enforced the police will be
detailed for that purpose.
Chief Owens said further that he
was taking the step simply as mat.
ter of law and order, that it was
strictly against the law for the clubs
to be open Sunday and that he intend
ed to enforce the law.
With summer coming on and big
excursions run into this city by the
various railroads, past experience had
taught him, said the chief, that the
law was disregarded and strangers
were admitted to some of the clubs
practice which, in former years,
mad been the direct cause of consid
Nrable disorder.
For the best interest of all concern.
ed, he said, the law henceforth is TO
be enforced.
