Long Fight Of temperance Pee
! pie Against Hotels Ends
CAN SELL At WHOLESALE
EvidAnce Showed Violation of Law in
Selling to HabituaI ~Drunkards-
Attention Attracted by In
1oIving Bishops Act.

Especial Trenton correspondence
Trentcn.lfSeveral years fight of the
temperance people of Moorestown to
put the two hotels there out Of bust
ness ended in the revocation by Judge
Horner of the retail licenses of Halter
an & Company Sor Coles Hotel, and
Henry Barry for the West End. Both
places hold wholesale licenses, and
these are expected TO keep the staid
old town from the Eigors of entire
abstinence for some time. The de-
cision of the Judge came after five
days hearing of EVIDENCE on both
sides. The case for the Opponents of
the bars was based upon Testimony
to show that at both places there were
repeated and open violations of the
Bishops law in sales of liquor Ia per-
sons Of confirmed Incorporate habits
and to men under the influence OF
liquor. There was also presented evil
dence that in Barry's place men affect
ed by drink were permitted to remain
about the premises, and there was
proof of other minor infractions of the
law, but the sales to habitual drunk
ards and those already intoxicated ap-
peared to form the foundation of the
opposition and the reason for the re-
vocations. These cases have attract
ed attention from all parts of the
State because of the fact that the
confirmed Incorporate habits phase
of the Bishops act was being brought
into play, and, further, because At
torney General Wescott and Senator
White were counsel for the liquor men
in their fight to retain their licenses.
The temperance people had their side
of the case so well prepared that early
in the trial it became evident that
the defense could not Offset the dam
aging testimony presented. To those
who had heard the testimony Judge
Horner's decision did not come as a
surprise. There is now an open ques-
ton how much better off Moorestown
will be with wholesale instead of re-
tail licenses.

State Comptroller Edward /. Ed

urer of the trustees of the State Home
for Girls, of his refusal to approve an
item of $50 for two sets of compiled
statutes of New Jersey. One of the
sets was to be delivered at the school
and the other at the home Of Miss
Harriet M. Spinning in South Orange.
Miss Spinning is president of the
board. In his letter to Mr.. Baker the
comptroller said: Members of
boards of managers are entitled to
necessary expenses. The possession
of a set of the compiled statutes at
their homes is not a necessary or a
proper expense, and in no event can
it be charged to the maintenance of

fecting your institution directly is
comprehended in the laws of 1900, and
such other legislation now in effect
dealing with the action of State off
GERS is easily obtainable in more CON

of these compiled statutes. The audi
tors have rejected this bill for the
reason that no individual, even though
a State officer, has the right to the
possession of State property. l ap-

of SIS, OOO, 900. They were organized
under the laws of New Jersey. The
adverse decision was made on the
ground that the assets of the two com.

of this amount, and also that they are
not doing a cognate business. In TAX
ing this action, the board took advan-

assets of great value. The tangible
assets of the Mailing Company are

Heavy Burden in Bonds.

I'm another 10 years under the Hill
cry maximum tax law many counties
and municipalities will have been
compelled to issue so many bonds to
provide funds for public improve
ments and repairs that the total tax
raised will little more than pay the
interest and sinking fund allotments
on the bonds" asserts Howard Russ,
a member and former director of the
Burlington County Board of Free
holders, who, with other members of
that Board, is seeking the repeal of
the Hillery law and the adoption of
measures of relief from the present
financial stringency of the county now
before the Legislature. Declaring that
the Hiliery law was a railroad meas
ure" given to the public in a sugar
coating, the county freeholders declare
the public is now discovering that in
accepting it they swallowed a bitter
pill. In conjunction with their cam
paign the fr~eeholders, headed by
Russ, have had State Senator Blanch-
ard H. White introduce a bill permit
ting Boards of Freeholders to increase
their budgets before the rate is fixed
by the County Board of Assessors.
This would enable the various coun-
ties to raise improvement funds by
direct tax instead of bonding the u
ty+ i am opposed to continually
bonding the county for improvements
and increasing the floating indebted
ness" says Russ. "A fairer plan
would be to have more of the pay-as-
we-go system. 1t is all right to issue
bonds for a certain class of improve
Mieats, out it does not seem right to
put the cost for roads that wear out
in six to ten years upon future gen
erations. The Hillery law should be
repealed at once in the interest of the
general taxpayer. The minimum rate
has helped no one but the railroads.
General taxes in the amounts actually
paid by idiyidual property owners are
higher under the Hillery law than
they were before its adoption. Only
the railroads are paying less and less

Attendant Choked Patients.
Charged with choking and beating
two patients at the State Hospital for
the Insane in this city, Charles M.
Brown, an attendant of the institution,
was arrested at the instance of DIR.
, Henry A. Cotton, the medical instruc-
tor. The assault upon the two pa
tents, Paul r. Manning and Leslie
Lines, both of Plainfield, is supposed
to have occurred recently, although it
was not disclosed until the usual
staff meeting was held at the hospital.
One of the PURPOSES of this meeting
is to examine patients to determine
how they are getting along. During
this examination Manning and Lines
gave information regarding Brown
and other attendants, which started
investigation. The statements made
by the patients were corroborated by
other attaches of the institution. Both
Manning and Lines declared Brown
was not alone in the alleged assault
and an investigation to determine who
were his associates. Brown was TAX
en- before Justice OF the Peace Kel-

a charge of assault and battery. The
injuries of neither Manning nor Lines
