New Gretna.

The first arrests under the new state
law forbidding aliens carrying or having
in their possession firearms of any kind
were made Wednesday, when Assistant
Game Protector Howard Mathis, of New
Gretna, with four state wardens, raided
a laborers' car on the Central Railroad
and arrested score of foreigners. The
car was found to be veritable arsenal,
nearly every bunk yielding rifle or re
volver, all of which weapons have been
confiscated. The raid was made follow
ing complaints from natives, who said
they feared their lives while the armed
foreigners were employed in their neigh
borhood. Shots were frequently heard
in the vicinity of points where the aliens
were working on road repairs, and it is
believed the foreigners were trying pot
shots at wild deer and other protected
animals and birds, which are abundant
in these sections.

to Mayor Mathis, and there are num-
Der more that are in prospect. E. w.

this summer on Island avenue.
The congregation of the Methodist

Improvements, at special services on

the afternoon, and the Rev. E. r. Craig,

Application of the Ocean County Gas
Company for authority to transfer $12,-
$50 of its stock to the Tuckerton Gas
Company and to issue $40, 600 was de-
MED on Wednesday by the state public
utility commission. The board says it
is difficult to perceive how the officers of
the Tuckerton company can justify the
sale of upward of $4,000 worth OF stock
for $4,000 in cash, then approve an issue
of $40, 900 of stock in exchange for $12,
$50 of stock of company whose stock
is of doubtful value.
The Ocean county mosquito commits
sion has decided that the method OF

miles more, which will virtually com
plete the work. There is a very per
lceptible falling off of mosquitoes along
the entire coast, and the various trade
bodies foresee the doubling of property
values should this section be known Il
the public as free from mosquitoes.
