acted about right and rendered verdict
of not guilty. James Mercer Davis repre-
scented the defendant.
Yesterday morning the application Of
Thomas ]. Barrett for q license to sell
liquor by wholesale at Roebling was
taken up. Mr.. Barrett owns property
near the railroad station. There are
two wholesale licenses at Roebling now,
one at the hotel, the other at the store,
both practically under the control of the
Roebling Company. The testimony in
behalf Of the petitioner was that many
of the residents of the place are COM
PEELED to go out of town to purchase their
supply of liquor, mainly because the
Roeblings having q monopoly of the
trade, charge whatever prices they wish
to and those who wish drink claim they
are compelled to pay more for the liquor
than they can get 1t for at other places.
1t was shown that many people go to
Trenton and other places and buy liquor
rather than purchase it at home. The
witnesses for the applicant testified that
the people in general would get better
accommodation and that new place
would create competition which seemed
to be desirable.
witnesses contended that the two whole
sale places already in operation at Roeb-
ling were ample for the needs of the
town. Some of the witnesses thought it
would be just.as we'll if one Of them was
dispensed with. Another place would
add to the ease with which liquor could
be obtained and the location Of the house
where Mr.. Barrett proposed to sell liquor
was not onetthat would be of advantage
to the community. 1t would be near
the railroad station on one side, thus
causing danger to those who might,
when under the influence of liquor,
cross the tracks, while on the other side
were woods where those who bought by
wholesale might congregate and carouse.
The application was refused.
Oscar Rheidenbaker was put under the
charge of the probation officer for three
years, told to abstain from liquor for one
year and orderedlto pay the costs of two
indictments charging him with assault
and battery on his wife and step-son.

90,359 FORD CARS
IN TWO MONTHS

In the last two months the Ford
Motor Company has produced the
enormous total of oo.35o cars,
this including. 43,849 clrs in
March and 46, $40 cars in April.
This Lot only insures the CON-
pletior Of the production of 3oo,-
900 Ford cars, between August,
1914, al August, 1915, barring
the totally unforeseen, and the re-
batting ofall Ford purchasers with
in that period, but it means that
the goal will undoubtedly be
reached before the promised time,
August first. In fact, the three
hundred thousandth car will prob.
ably leaNs the Ford assembly early
in July ant the produc ton pace
will continle almost undated, SC
tremendous is the demand this
year the world over for Ford cars.
Then on August first will begin
the task of rebating about $r5,-
900, 900 to Ford purchasers in ac-
cordance with the terms of the
Ford profit sharing announcement.
Each of the 3oo,ooo or more Ford
purchasers will be mailed, OF
course, an individual check, prob
ably of $50. The postage alone
on this huge mail means at least
IS, 900.

Morris Abraham, proprietor of our
large chicken farm, places the publicity
laurels of Winsted, Conn.,, in danger.
He announces that his pet cat is mother
ing brood of chickens and is doing it
to beat the band. His neighbor, Alphonso
Yellin, appreciated the economic advant-
age of such hoover, and placed some
orphan chicks under the care of his
felis domestica. A few minutes later
when Yellin again looked on the scene,
the cat was licking her chops, and, as
Yellin states, wore look of benignant
satisfaction that the consolation of re-
ligion fails to produce, but the chicks
had disappeared into the great unknown.

Beverly.

Rev. William t. Snead, Episcopal
minister and prominent temperance adj
vocate, is the only candidate to file a
nominating petition for the position of
city commissioner made vacant by the
resignation of Thomas Lee. Commits
sioner Lee said he quit his Office rather
than vote for licensing Beverly saloons,
which he felt impelled to do after the
city voted wet at the recent election.
Rector Snead will make his campaign
as an avowed foe of liquor. The special
election for a successor to Lee will be-
held Monday, May II, and the preacher
will get his seat on the commission in

Certainly Great Britain will not attack

out France cannot afford to conduct
an offensive war against us. Where.
then, does the danger exist? Germany
is the only nation that seems likely to

not address ourselves TO this definite
danger and prepare our defenses &C
cordingly? This will not call for a bur.

been suggested. The element Of $50

great advantage. and the first thought

COL. ROBERT WHITE.

The passing OF Colonel Robert

munity. because It has been robbed
Of a character who was the finest :ype
of its upright. Christian citizenship
Gentle and affable in manner he en-
deared himself TO a wide acQuaint-
ance and host OF warm friendships.
OF the many encomiums that could be
pronounced upon him none stands out
so clearly as his sterling honesty ana
his strict adherence to the highest
ideals. OF rather pronounced political
convictions he never allowed party
bias to force him to condone injustice
or palliate corruption.
In his service 10 the state as attor-
ney general. and in the legislature.
and as city solicitor his acts stood the
test of closest scrutiny. AS a lawyer
he was conscientious and scrupulously
honest. Many men with the advant-
ages that were thrown in his way
would have amassed great wealth. but
with him a good name was rather TO
be chosen than great riches. His
church will mss him. his friends will
mourn him. but he leaves a fragrant
memory and life work well done.
