ELECTRIC ROLLER
CHAIRS AT SHORE
Some Atlantic City Hotel Men
Favor Use of the Wicker
EIectrettes."

ATLANTIC CITY, May 2S.-Ef-
forts to introduce wicker cleo
trettes," or electrically driven roller
chairs on the Boardwalk this sea
son give signs of merry war be-
tween the Rolling Chair Trust, which
for nearly three years has been
fighting the city over license fees
needed for maintenance of the
Boardwalk, and hotel men interested
in the new inventions.
In spite of the opposition of Off
cials, beach hotel owners have asked
for an investigation of the merits of
the electric roller chairs, hundreds
of which are being used at the San
Francisco Exposition and at Pacific
is being made out of the fact that
adoption of the electrically propelled
conveyances, which are geared to
travel three miles an hour, while an
ordinary human motor" does five,
would make it possible to dispense
with the services of the men who
now trudge back of chairs in all
kinds of weather.
The chairs run for nine hours on
q single charge The assertion was
made today that not a few of the
hotel men are ready to buy chairs
outright for the use of their guests,
providing they can be used on the
wooden way.
Commissioner ]. B. Thompson, di-
rector of the Boardwalk. a hotel
man himself, is irrevocably opposed.

CAMDEN. May 2S.-The trial OF
J. Moore White, former probation
officer of Camden County, who is in
dicted on charges of embezzlement
was brought to a sensational and
unexpected halt when charges of at
tempted jury-flxing were made, which
resulted in Albert Matthews, of West
mont, N. j., and "A clerk in the
sheriffs office, being held in $500 bail.
A jury had been drawn and were
in the box and about to be sworn
when Prosecutor Kraft slipped into
the courtroom and stated that one of
the jurors on the panel, but who was
not in the box, had been approached.
The man who it was alleged was ap-
preached was Walter Smith, of Vest
mont.
In presenting the matter to Judge
Swackhammer, of Gloucester County,
who was going to try the case, Prose
cutor Kraft said that information had
come to the State that warranted
him in saying that the case could
not be tried fairly; that someone had
tr.ed to tamper with the jury; and he
asked that the case go over
Ex-Assistant Prosecutor Charles A.
Wolverton, counsel for White, in
reply said: "The charge that the
prosecutor has made is extremely
serious, and l have no objection to
the suggestion that the trial OF the

and desire to make.

HER LIFE IN CANAL
Miss Abbott, Sending Girl to
Pick Flowers, Leaps
Into River.

TRENTON, May 2S.-Telling hei
little twelve-year-o companion to
run into the field and pick some flow
ers for her, Miss Catherine Abbott,
twenty-six years of age, of st. Joes
avenue, ran to the Mulberry street
bridge over the Delaware and Rari-
tan canal late yesterday afternoon
and leaped into the water.
The little girl, Fertilla Fisher, saw
the older girl take the leap and she
screamed. Help soon arrived but
Miss Abbott was nowhere in sight.
Several men got into boat and tried
to recover the body but 1t was not
until several hours later that they
succeeded.
Miss Abbott was to have been mar
ried in couple of weeks. Her
brother-i law, with whom she l'ved,
told the police today that the girl
had been acting strangely of late and
seemed to be suffering from melan-
cholia.
She started out to take a walk yes
terday afternoon with the Fisher girl
and when she got close to the canal,
adopted the ruse to get rid of the girl,
so that the child would not see her
take her life.
