States witnesses. Mr.. Reinhardt then
called Chief of Police Black to the stand

that Officers Sharpless and Tierney did
not have a warrant for tho arrest of

into their addresses before the jury anC

BARN BURNED
AT FRIENDSHIP
The Parsonage Property Is
Threats ned.
FIRE MYSTERIOUS
Friendship ME- Church Property
Loses Barn by Fire This
Morning.

About 8 o'clock this morning fire of
mysterious origin, destroyed the barn
upon the property of the NJ. P. Church
at Friendship.
When the fire was discovered the
blaze was a bright one and it was ap-
parent that the building was doomed.
In the barn there was horse, wagons,
harness, ETC., belonging to the pastor
of the church, Rev. o. L. Jones. The
horse, wagon and harness were gotten
out of the barn safely.
The flames soon wrapped the en-
tire building and in an hour was en-
tirely destroyed. Considerable hay
and fuel was destroyed.
A chicken house with other outbuild-
ings were destroyed. The residence
and other nearby property were saved
by pushing the burning barn over
and keeping the property drenched
with water.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been combustion in manure piled
up just outside of the barn.

LEESBURC FOR
A BOROUGH

Our neighboring village of Leesburg
is beginning to feel that it is a place
of some pretensions and that a mere
township government is no longer
good enough for it, hence the bill to
be passed by the Legislature to incor-
crate it into borough.
And why not, if the residents want
it? The banking of the meadows
along Maurice river is bound to open
up thousands of acres of farming
lands, which will draw increased pop
ulation, to say nothing of the growth
Of this whole section, which is one of
the certainties, and Leesburg's loca-
ton makes it the logical center of
fine agricultural country and it's facil-
tiles for cheap water transportation
are invaluable. Looking to the future
there is 70 better time to begin the
preparation than now, as many things
for the foundation of town can be
done more cheaply at present than
ever again, but the people should plan
on a comprehensive scale for broad,
straight streets, breathing places,
shade trees and roomy, airy town.
We shall hail with pleasure the
Borough of -MillvilIe Re-
publican.

CLEARING UP
WASTE LAND

Clayton, N. j., Mar. Lee T. Hal
lock, who has been active during the
past year in clearing off large tracts
of waste land in this section of Glou-
cester county, has announced his in
tention of starting extensive fruit and
dairy farms, which give promise of be-
ing the largest private agricultural
enterprise in this end of the State.
Within a year Hallock has cleared
450 acres of timber and brush land,
and by April this entire acreage will
have been plowed and ready for the
planting of various crops. The oper-
ations have been a big aid to idle
workmen in Clayton, ninety or more
of whom were given work for three
week in clearing Hallock's most re-
cent purchase of 1S5 acres If Hal
locks present plans carry out, his
land holdings for farming purposes
will run close to 1000 acres.
On a $50 acre-tract which was
cleared last winter, Hallock will es-
tablish a big fruit farm. He has 200,-
600 peach trees, of about dozen diff
ferent varieties, growing and budded,
and these will be ready for setting out
in another year. He has also import
ed as a starter $4,000 French apple
seedlings which have been budded
with native varieties.
On his 1S5-acre tract the manufac-
turer-farmer will start a registered
dairy and he has already purchased a
dozen blooded Gurnsey heifers from
stock farms at Madison, N. j., to start
his herd

ANOTHER STORY

An investigation of the apparently
bogus" fire alarm yesterday after
noon brings out a queer coincidence
of happenings. Just as the call went
to City Hall for an officer to kill the
injured dog, another call was made
by an excited Italian who had a rub
bish fire in his yard. Fearing the
rear of his house would catch fire he
summoned the Fire Department. Up
on their arrival on Cohansey street,
the fire was all out and nothing re-
mained but the injured dog. None
knew of the fire and the Italian in
his fear did not tell of it.

EXCELLENT WORK

Public Works Commissioner Fred
rick is placing a number of brick
manholes in the Third ward. making
it possible to get at the sewer mains
without digging up the streets. The
man holes are being so placed that it
is possible to clean out long lines Of
pipe without uncovering a foot of the
pipe. The system is greatly benefited
by the introduction of the manholes,
and the cost of them will in many
cases not equal to the expense of dig
ging down for single stoppage of
the pipes.

RADICAL CHANGE
IN TAX BOARD

A radical bill aimed at the county
tax boards has been introduced in the
House by Mr.. Peacock, of Burlington
County. 1t takes the appointment of
these boards out of the hands of the
Governor and gives it to the Boards
of Freeholders, arolishes the office of
a separate secretary for each of the 21
boards, and decreases the salary of
the members very materially. 1t was
referred to the taxation committee.
In the Senate there was reported
from committee a substitute for Sen
ate bills 1O2 and 1S9 by Mr.. Pierce, of
Union County, and Senate 112, by Mr..
Read of Camden County. This substi-
tute was placed on second reading and
may come up for final consideration
this week. 1t makes radical changes
in the county tax board system.
Assemblyman Peacock says his bill
will save the State about 100000 an
nually, as all the salaries are thrown
upon the several counties. The bur
den on the counties will be small,
however, as they will have the amount
they now pay the secretaries of the
boards, besides placing the appoint
ment of the boarGs with the Boards
of Freeholders. The new bill provides
that one of the members shall act as
secretary

at once, and in 1914 the regular and
supplemental bills carried $4LS,754.
All told it must cost the State some
thing like 100000 yearly to maintain
the National Guard, counting interest
on the money invested in the Sea Girt
camp grounds, the headquarters build
ing which the Governor has as a sum-
mer cottage, the State arsenal, the
more than a score of armories, and the
guns, uniforms and other military
equipment. Besides this the United
State Government makes liberal al
lowances that must run into many
thousands more.

to be erected on the site of the SAM
tary Can Company's plant. At present
the excavations are being made and
work has begun upon the concrete
foundations. When work started on
Monday morning there were between
$50 and 200 men presented themselves

FOR MILITIA

Thought the States financial con-
dition is known to be straitened, the
Legislature goes along as though
there was no limit to the money avail
able, and the chief purpose of Leg
islature is to make appropriations. 1t
is running wild to armories.
The military and naval strength of
the State-counting the naval reserve
as navy--is from 4,2OO to 4,5OO Off
GERS and men, 1t would probably sur
prise the commander-in-chief if $500
of them turned out on an urgent call.
But it seems to be necessary to main
tain an organization of five regiments
in order to be sure of two.
At the present session bills have
been introduced providing for COM
pany armories at Atlantic City, Mount
Holly, Ocean City and Bloomfield. The
1ntroducers of the bills were careful
to explain that they did not expect to
but wanted to be ready when the State
could afford the expense.
Bloomfield is taking time by the
forelock, for at the hearing on it's
bill admission was made that it did
not at this time have company of
the National Guard, though somebody
had promised to move the headquar-
ters of company there if an armory
is built. Company arnories usually
cost $4,000, at least that is the ap-
preparation, and the State Treasurer
would be surprised If any part of an
armory appropriation was turned back
into the treasury.
1t was about twenty-five years ago
that the State began to invest in ar
mories, beginning with Jersey City,
for which regimental armory was
built at cost of $203,794. Then came
Newark, Paterson, Camden and Tren-.
ton, and the State had about 81 100 900
ehOu "P III duulliOu 10 Tie COSL OF Cne
sites, which were acquired by The
counties.
Last year new $25O,O00 building
was authorized for Jersey City, and the
old one is to be turned over to the use
of a signal corps, a battery, cavalry
troop or some other branch of the
military service. All told the State
has spent more than $2,O0O,OOO for
buildings, and there are about half
dozen that have been authorized for
which no appropriation has yet been
made.
Including the four that have been
started on paper in the Legislature,
there are twenty-four or twenty-five
armories in sight, to accommodate less
than 1000 active members of the Ma
tional Guard.
When the military appropriations
ran up to about $460,OOO in 1912 there
was loud protest, but the pace was
so rapid that it could not be reduced

wise ii within the authorization OF In"
laws Of the state. Today the matters
OF education, even the primary, are
complex and involved, and while tho
qualifications of the members OF any
community in the state have probably
improved over those then existing,
there is not that expert knowledge nee

tionaI subjects as they are today.
Then. again, to give the children of
the rural communities all the advau-
tagcs that the children OF the central
ized and wealthier communities have.
it j. essential that Il large part Of the
expense i'm some of them be borne by
the state. The state having made it
Incumbent upon each child to get some
years Of schooling, the state cannot es-
cape the moral obligation OF providing
way for him to get 1t. For these
two reasons, therefore. one the Infinite
" greater knowledge of the subject
necessary to properly supervise educa-
ton and the other the fact that the
state must pay the hill in rural COM
imuuities, the state should have super
vision through a most carefully select

Let all join in the effort TO provide

to take prompt advantage Of their eX-

an understanding of the real work of

The time is past when sheer force Of
will or ability alone can get far in

other communities The cid stock still
exists. Some opportunities are devcl-
oping, All that is necessary is to as
sist the youth through the preliminary
maze which modern civilization has
4 surrounded them with, and place them
whore they can help themselves. But
surely that much does constitute a very
distinct obligation Of the state itself
and one which the state cannot ignore
without discrediting herself III compar-
ison with her sister comnonwealths
whichs have been quicker to recognize
and perform their full duty.
