Walter III. Mason stopped in THE
NEWS office and said he is not a candi-
date for the position of Township Col
lector under appointment by the Town
ship Committee in the event of the
resignation of Francis H. Reed. THE
NEWS published Mr.. Mason's name in
connection with others on what it sup
posed to be correct information.
The river and harbor bill that passed
in congress, last week, provides for sur
vey of the New York and New JERSEY
channel with view of securing the de-
sired deeper channel, and there is also
designated surveys for Forked River and
West Creek. Congressman Scully who
fathered these and other New JERSEY
projects Jared better than the rest of his
colleagues.
Senator MARITIME completely blocked
one of the appointments of the man who
placed him in the position to do such
deed. President Wilson appointed
George Hampton Internal Revenue
Collector and that did not suit MARITIME.
Notwithstanding President Wilson had
made MARITIME the big gun he now seems
to be the latter evidently thought the
action OF the Chief Magistrate was one
to be emulated. He remembered the
treatment given Senator Smith, who did |
so much for Wilson and then was turn
ed over completely and MARITIME evident
ly thought that sauce for the goose was
sauce for the gander. and he showed his
strength. Not content with having the
appointment of Hampton not confirmed |
he had it rejected entirely, knocked the
Presidents choice clear out of office.
MARITIME has been frequently referred to
as "a joke but in this case he does not
seem to be laughing matter.
Senator White saw fit to cast his vote
against the bill giving the people the
right to vote on local option. There are
those who commend and those who
condemn him for that act. Among the
latter comes the Palmyra Meas, and
that paper at once consigns the Senator
to absolute retirement to private life,
and says that Senator Whites align
ment with the liquor people definitely
settles that he will be opposed by the
temperance sentiment in this county for
reelection" and refers to the fact that
he WAS barely elected the last time,
having 300 plurality over DR.. Marcy"
Our neighbor should brush up. The
last time Senator White ran it was
against Jonathan H. Kelsey and not DR..
Marcy, and when he did defeat the
latter four years ago it was by 400 plur-
atty and at the same time the Demo-
Gratis elected sheriff and surrogate.
Then the Neaos says his only opponent
so far as we have heard, Robert Pea
cock, is impossible" Sleeper has made
with reference to Mr.. Pea
cock. 1t was not very long ago that he
was going to have Bobby" licked out
of sight, but when the returns came in
Bobby" had won just the same. 1t is
too early for any one to make a predic-
ton who will be the Republican candi-
date for Senator or even who will try to
get the nomination but one thing is GER
tain it will take more than Sleeper's pre-
dictions to settle the question, and it
may also be said that Senator White is
still on the map.

Automobile License Susnended.

In response to summons from the
Office of the Commissioner of Motor We
hicles, William Thorn, of Browns Mills,
went to Trenton, Wednesday, to answer
a charge of violating the automobile
laws by driving through the streets of
Mount Holly beyond the legal speed
limit, having his muffier open in going
through the town and within the limit
set forth in the law respecting the dis
lance from horse-drawn vehicles, and for
not displaying lights while his auto was
standing along the street at night.
The young man was shown to have
violated all of the above provisions of
the statutes. 1t was his first offence, or
at least it was the first time complaint
had been entered against him, SO the
Commissioner was not disposed to be
severe, and suspended the license for
one month, during which time the
young man will not be allowed to drive
his machine nor will the auto bearing
his number be permitted to be on the
road
The complaint against this man was
made by citizen who thought the prop
er thing was to send it direct to the state
department. For this act the complain
ant received letter from the commits
sioner commencing the step and saying
that the enforcement of the act con-
corning violations of the law had given
the department much concern. Com
missioner Lippincott has signifed his
intention to give Burlington county par
ticular attention this year and owners
and drivers of automobiles had better
take notice and act accordingly. Scarce
ly day passes that machines do not go
up and down our main street at a pace
SO far beyond the limit that it is mat |
ter OF comment by all who see them. |
There does not seem to be any one, how |
ever, who cares to make complaint. |
There are one or two physicians-not |
Mount Holly men-who seem to think |
The fact that they are doctors gives them

Nobody would think of entering COM

Of lie or death, or getting patient to

IS no need Of such haste the physician
has no more rights than the ordinary
citizen. AT any rate it will be we'll for
ali drivers of automobiles to respect the
aw, as they do not know when they
may be hauled up by the officials from

The MurphY-Tobin Case.

| The above caption is used because botf
of the cases will be referred to in thi.
item. On Monday of last week counse
for Edgar Murphy appeared before the
Court of Errors and Appeals on an ap
plication to have the conviction of Muir
ply set aside. Messrs. Smith and Tobin
appeared on behalf of Murphy and
Prosecutor Atkinson was on hand for the
state. AS has been his custom through.
out the case Mr. Tobin did not intend to
allow anypoint to escape, and he put in
all the exceptions he could find in order
to save the life of his unfortunate client.
He found the course of procedure in the
higher court somewhat different from
that in the lower court. Here he was al
lowed much latitude in order that it
might not appear that there was preju-
dice against his client, and he was given
every chance to put in a strenuous de-
fence
AT Trenton, however, notwithstand-
ing he had roll of exceptions that COW
cred many pages of paper, the court
held him down to the strict letter of the
law, and allowed consideration only of
the points that dwelt mainly On the APP
pication presented. Tobin was, as usual,
alert, earnest and vigorous, and the pre-
siding judge was compelled to restrain
him more than once.
The court did not render decision,
but ordered the applicants to serve on
Prosecutor Atkinson a brief, together
with the printed case. This was to be
done yesterday. Then Mr.. Atkinson has
until next Monday to present his answer
and after that the case will be put on the
list of the Court of Errors and Appeals
and will be heard by that body early. In
the meantime the execution of Murphy
will be stayed.
Counsel for Arthur Phillips, who
brought suit against Francis Tracey To-
bin for false arrest, has filed his reply to
the answer made by Mr.. Tobin. The
last paper is not as full and voluminous
as that filed by Mr.. Tobin, but is right.
to the point. 1t says that plaintiff denies
each and every of the allegations in the
answer OF the defendant, Francis Tracey
Tobin, which answer, aim to answer, or
especially deny any of the allegations of
fact in the complaint, in fact denies
every allegation in the answer of the de-
PENDANT. The plaintiff objects as a mat
ter OF law that the answer of Mr.. Tobin
discloses no defence in 48 of the 50 para
graphs of the answer of the defendant.
The plaintiff will object, as a point OF
law, that the answer of the defendant,
Francis Tracey Tobin, in the paragraphs
referred to above do not specially deny
the allegations of fact in the complaint,
or state any defence which is consistent
with the truth of the material allega-
lions of the complaint, or state any
grounds of defence.
This case now stands on its merits. If
it does not come up for trial the plain
tiff may get judgment by default.

a few minutes. Elsa spoke fiuently;
twelve years had elapsed since his last

fusion, and thereafter it was only oc-
casionally that she brought the tongue

their attention.

the danger, the danger to himself and
to her. At any moment he might fling

him as nothing in the world had called

He had scorned what she had termed

with degree of accuracy. In the
