DISARM The
ITALIANS
Authorities Should Re-
strain Hot Heads.
KNOW THE POLICE
Authorities Should Make 1t Plain
to All of These Italians That
They Must Observe Law,

The recent dynamite outrage in the
Second Ward points conclusively that
the dastardly crime is the work of
Italians. There are a good many of
these fellows in this community and
it may be said that the majority of
these fellows are undesirable citizens.
1t is fortunate for the public gener-
ally that these Italians do not bother
Americans very much. Their fights
and feuds are largely confined among
themselves. But this makes their des-
perate acts none the less objection
able, and there should be a police
policy here that would indicate plain
ly to these fellows that they must OBJ
serve the American laws. 1t would
be good fortune if the authorities
were so strict that the Italians were
forced to leave the locality.
Some years ago while George
Hampton was Mayor, he caused the
police force to make search of Ital-
ians and Italian homes, and conffscate
from them all classes of deadly wea-
pons. Those who know the habits of
Italians living here, declare that all
of them are armed either with re-
volvers or dirks. This should not be
pa~p1itfod Tho 1rafcI, ,,ooo 4boon
sons of Italy should be so strict that
they could not secure weapons and
have them in possession long. 1t has
been suggested that if the police were
called upon every little while to go
about and make careful search of
their persons and so-called homes for
weapons, it would impress the fellows
that they were carefully watched and
they would have a much more whole
some respect for the officers and the
law.
1t matters little to the community
whether the Italians like it or not.
If they don't like it let them get out
and stay out
One man particularly who has some
leadership over the Italian class,
should be all the while under sus-
picion. He is a law breaker who lives
in Salem He has cost the taxpayers
of this county dearly, and only re-
Gently he interfered here with the
orderly cause of justice Police ac-
tivity in shadowing this fellow when
he was hereabouts would have a very
wholesome effect

CONFESSED
To BURGLARY

Last night George Hamlet was be-
fore Mayor Whitaker for a hearing,
charged with breaking and entering
and larceny.
The cruise took place last week
when Hamlit went to the home of Os-
car Jones on Mill street and stole two
reyolvers and a sum of money.
Hamlit pleaded guilty to the break
ing and entering and also to the theft
of the two revolvers, but denied hav-
ing any knowledge OF the $1,000 which
is missing. His statement of the eve
ning's proceedings was taken by May
or Whitaker.
Oscar Jones, whose house was ent-
cred, appeared and identified the re-
volvers as his property.
All of the people in this case are
colored and it is believed that George
Hamlit, the defendant, has a history
that would not bear Investigation. An
effort is being made to connect him
with some store robberies that took
place some time ago in other New
Jersey towns.
Hamlit was sent to Jail to await
the action of the Grand Jury. No
bail was allowed in the case for break
ing and entering at night is not bail

MUST Be FORGOTTEN

Some time last November the street
department of the city scraped out
the cutters on either side of North
Laurel street. The piles of dirt were
carefully gathered together on the
outside of the gutter stones. There
the piles have been ever since. No
effort was made to cart the stuff
away, and the street department has
evidently forgotten the matter. Any7
way the piles do not add attractive
ness to the streets. 81

FEW In JAIL

All going out and nobody coming
in. That is the present condition
over at the County Jail. Each week
the number of Jail inmates is becom-
ing less and no one seems willing to
break in for a winter stay. The Jail
was never in a more sanitary con-
dition than now, but recent painting
and renovation does not seem to at
tract anybody.

Mr.. Oscar Riley asks the Pioneer'to
make public expression of his graft

in bearing the great burden that was
thrust upon him.

Miss Rhita Horner, Walnut street,

A creditable parent-teachers' organ

improvement has been made in the
regularity of attendance of pupils.
Z he three teachers at Gouldtown have
LAB pupils enrolled for the present
month.
All The teachers bi-monthly reports
have been received with one or two
exceptions. These reports form a
constant means of communication be-
tween the county superintendent and
the teachers throughout the county
and enable the county superintendent
to know a great deal more about the
amount and character of the work
;hht is being done in the schools of
the county than he could get in any
other way.
