Court

Judge Lippincott considered severa
cases in the Orphans Court, Thursday
The trial of the suit of the administrator
of officer Grogan, against the city O
Burlington, was again postponed unit
the first Of July. This is the case where
the city is being sued under the EN-.
ployers' compensation act Grogan hav-
ing been a policeman and who was
killed in the discharge of his duty. This
case has been postponed from time to
time and Judge Lippincott called atten-
ton to the fact that the law requires
him to file an opinion within thirty DAYS
from the hearing or trial and if this case
was to be determined before the summer
vacation it must be taken up not later
than the eighth of July. Francis ].
Smith, who is one of the lawyers in the
case, said he expected to be ready bv the
first.
John Horn pleaded guilty to stealing
a watch and clothing from man living
at Florence. He said he had been drink
ing but when he committed the theft he
was not so drunk but he knew enough to
open trunk where the goods were He
has bad court record in Mercer county
and Judge Lippincott sent him to the
Railway Reformatory.
George Hyland was brought in on
waiver of indictment charging him with
stealing bicycle from George Baker,
near Indian Mills. Hyland pleaded not
guilty and said he would show that he
merely took the wrong bicycle. His
case will be heard later.
Cordey Stokley was brought up on
charge of assault and battery on his wife,
The offence was committed in January,
1914, but the man left the state and did
not come back until last Thursday when
he was nabbed. AS the offence happened
during the term of the former Prosecutor,
Mr.. Atkinson took charge of it and told
the court what he knew. 1t appeared to
be case of man taking drink too
much, being upbraided by his wife for
the act, and as both he and his wife APP
peared to have hasty tempers, trouble
ensued. The man was put in charge of
the probation officer and was told that
he must stop drinking. His wife was in
court and expressed her willingness to
have him come back to her.
Harry Blair, who had pleaded not
guilty to charge of indecent exposure
of his person, retracted and pleaded non
vult. 1t was shown that he bore an ex-
cellent reputation and before and since
the one occurrence that was charged !
against him he had never been known
to do anything wrong. He was placed |
in charge of the probation officer.

Farm Demonstrators Movement

At a meeting of farmers held in the
court house, on Friday, a movemen
was started to have farm demonstrate
appointed for Burlington county, wher'
agriculture is the chief business an(
where such an official is needed if re
quired anywhere.
The meeting was composed of mem
bers of the advisory committee appoint
ed by the board of agriculture, last year
to endeavor to have demonstrated
named. 1t will be remembered that the
movement failed at that time, but g
number of farmers, feeling that dem
onstrator is needed here, did not despair
OF ultimate success
The meeting on Friday was called in
response to letter received from Prof
Alva Agee, director of agricultural ex,
tension of the New Brunswick agricul-
tural college, in which he stated that he
had capable young farmer for the posi-
ton of demonstration, and offered the APP
polntment first to Burlington county, to
take effect October 1st, if it was desired
here.
In the letter Prof Agee suggested, in
order to raise the money to pay the
county's share of the demonstration s
salary for the three months of October,
November and December, $3.50, that $50
farmers here pledge themselves to pay
one dollar each, and that the board of
freeholders be requested to appropriate
81, 400 for 1916. If the freeholders should
refuse to make the appropriation, which
is not probable if the importance of the
subject is properly presented to them,
then the same number of farmers can
pledge 81 each for next year. The
balance of the demonstrators salary is
paid by the state.
The young man who is be appointed
is farmer experienced in potato and
fruit growing and dairying. He is a
resident of Monmouth county and is the
son of successful farmer.
Prof. Agee further stated in his letter
that while he has the power to make the
appointments of farm demonstrators he
would gladly endorse any other capable
candidate who might be suggested for
this county. Having heard of proper
kind of man for the position and realiz-
ing the necessity of a farm demonstration
for this county, he had written the
letter to call attention to the matter.
On motion of Edward NJ. Mechling it
was decided to appoint committee to
solicit subscriptions as suggested in
Prof. Agee's letter, and the committee is
to report at the midsummer meeting of
the County Board of Agriculture on
Craig Tallman's farm, near Columbus,
on July 81, when farm bureau for this
county will be established. Members of
the Board of Freeholders are to be in
vited to this meeting.
The officers selected at the meeting on
Friday were: Frederick Lippincott,
chairman; II. H. Albertson, secretary;
Henry b. Wright, treasurer.

Political Notes.

| The announcement of the intention of
County Collector Pine to enter the con-
test for State Senator was pronounced
by that gentleman to be little prema-
ture and the result of ''over-zealousness'
of friends, but the fact that correspond
ent of Philadelphia paper told certain
people to look for the announcement in
Sunday papers and the fact that it APP
peared as prophesied, seems to lend color
that there is something doing" Sena-
tor White does not make any secret that
he intends to seek denomination. AS
semblyman Peacock also says he pro-
poses to attempt to be advanced, and
there is still another name that may be
added to the list before the time comes
for settling the affair. 1t is too early to
predict any result but there are rumors
of deals and combinations that will
complicate the situation materially
when the entire situation is laid bare.
The contest for the nomination for the
Assembly on the Republican ticket is at
present confined to two men-Evan F.
Benners, who has openly announced his
candidacy, and Harvey Darnell, who has
the matter under advisement, without
having decidedly proclaimed himself in
the field. Then it has been said that
County Collector Pine may shift from
the Senatorship to Member of Assembly,
but even that statement is not ''by
authority"
The Democrats are not making any
loud announcements of whom they are
going to put in the field for State Sena-
tor, but rumor says former Sheriff Jordan
is receiving the most favorable consider
alton just now. He might, under Or
binary circumstances, make very
formidable candidate, but unfortunately
he did not make himself strong with the
Hughes element in the contest for Prose
cutor of the Pleas, and recent events
not referring to the County Clerkship
fight, show that Richard has considera-
able pull yet among the members of his
own party. AS the weather grows
warmer the political pot will probably
boil harder.
Another name has been added to the
cratic and unpopular appointments of
Governor Fielder. With a few excep-
tions the men who have been given
Office by the Governor have not been
those who would have been chosen by
the popular vote of his party, but haye
been governed by political bias Some
of them have been good, many of them
not so good. The latest addition to the
hall of fame' is former Assemblyman
and Prosecutor of Camden county,
Harry S. Scovel, who was appointed to
serve on the Board of Water Commits
sioners until the first of July when the
system will be changed. Scovels pecu-
liar fitness seems to have been that he |
did many things that were of benefit to
the Democratic party, after having
been placed in more than one Office by |
the Republicans. He succeeds Harry
Humphreys, who is son-in-law of for
mer Sheriff David Baird, and it is posi-
BILE that the slap was meant for the
latter as Mr.. Humphreys has proved an
efficient and capable member of the
Board. Scovel has been Republican
and then seemed to desire to become a
''reformer" and his reforms appear to be
in the interest of the Democratic party.
