NETCONG CASHIER
/ GETS FIVE YEARS
j. Frank Best, Embezzier. viii
Be Given Three Years Off
for Good Behavior.

TRENTON, April 16.--J. Frank
Best, cashier of the Citizens Ma
ticnal Bank of Netcong, was SEN
fenced to five years in the New Jer-
sey state prison yesterday by Judge
Haight in the United State District
Court. Best was sentenced for mis-
applying and embezZling 1880 OF the
funds of the bank.
Judge Haight announced that ne
would seek a pardon for Best from
the President of the United states In
two years time, provided Best is
model prisoner, and no further spec
ulation deals in which he figured are
discovered involving him. Judge
HaiEht was deeply affected when he
sentenced Best. He said he would
prefetr to impose a lighter sentence
than the law prescribed, because or
the unfortunate circumstances III
which the prisoner left his wife and
child. The Judge said he believed 1t
was Best's intention to place the
money he Incorporated, back In
the bank again but the law conferred
no discretion in the court to suspend
sentence in a serious situation OF TINS
kind The court further pointed out
that if the bank had not been secured
against losses by a bond, the Netcong
institution might have been wrecked
financially.
Best appeared in court for sentence
without counsel. He explained each
transaction to the court involving the
Use of the banks funds and denied
he took any actual cash from the
bank but simply transferred deposits
to assist the New Jersey Arnold
Damper Company, a concern in which
he was secretary and treasurer.
Judge Haight inquired of Best IL it
was true he visited New York each
week to see another woman. Best
denied this positively. Il have been
faithful, mentally and physically, to
rny wife, he said. Best broke his
eyeglasses before coming into court
yesterday, and after sentence
was imposed he asked to be allowed
TO visit an eye specialist to have his
glasses repaired. He complained Of
his eyesight being affected by the loss
of the glasses. Judge Haight said the
prison authorities would extend Best
that privilege after he was admitted
- the institution.
The indictment against Best
charged that on May q, 1912, he mis-
applied $500 of the banks funds by
crediting that amount to the New
Jersey Arnold Damper Company. On
April &c, 1918, 1t was charged he en-
bezzled $40 99627 and misapplied $3.50
of the funds on April %. and 1852 on
April II.

Covers Laid at Organize

friends of the Nutley Board of Trade
were present last night at the, first
banquet of that organization. The
affair was held at the Nutley Field
Club. DR.. George B. Mead. president
of the Trade Board, acted as toast
master.
The speakers confined themselveA
to talks of about fifteen minutes du-'
ration. Congressman William E
futile Of Westfield. was the first
speaker He spoke humorously of
the opportunities which Nutley has
of becoming famous, stating that II
is losing a fine chance by objecting
TO the Imhoff sewage disposal plant.

MERGE Commission. read Q report on
farming conditions in tina State.
Harold j. Rowland, OF the Inde-
pendent Magazine, gave talk on the
civic problems of suburban town.
He declared that the great problem
of such a town is the presence OF
two classes, which. in most cases,
cannot seem TO pull together. These
classes are the commuters and the
natives. The commuter usually
thinks little of the ability of the ma
tive, while the latter considers the
commuter a snob. whether he is or
not. Mr.. Rowland advised the board
not to pass elaborate resolutions, and
then file them away TO gather dust,
but to concentrate their energies
upon one thing until it has been ac-
complished t
Mr.. Rowland, who was president
of the Montclair Civic Association,
said that during his term of Office
that organization passed so many
worthless resolutions that he is ac-
tually ashamed to look New Years in
the face now. In closing, he urged
that the men of Nutley stick to-
gether and strive to prevent the for.
nation of factions or cliques.
l.. ID. Howard Gilmour, general So
licitor of the Public Service Corpora
ton. gave a brief talk on street
Railways" He said for some I'M
known reason the majority of the
people have conceived the idea that
the Public Service is an enemy. while
it is actually their servant and
strives to be such. He said the Pub
lie Service loses money during the
commission or rush hours.
