ATTORNEY GENERAL PROBES
Takes Charge of Burlington Count
EmbezzIement Case.

EnlbezzIement Case.
Attorney General Wescott uncover
ed an entirely new situation when he
appeared to conduct the prosecution
of John w. Harris, search clerk at
the County Clerks Office in Mount
Holly, indicted upon a charge of re-
tanning fees belonging to Burlington
county. He said he was there by III
rection of the Supreme Court to ltskxe
the first step in breaking up a State
wide scandal covering the misappro-
priation of funds such as charged in
the Harris case. To what extent this
practice of grabbing fees has been
carried on in other parts of the State
the Attorney General did not say, but
his statement was clear upon the
point of its existence and the deter
mination to break it up.
The States case against Harris
brought nothing new in addition to
what was already generally known. In
the fall of 1909 Harris was engaged
as search clerk at salary of $1,000 a
year, and in January, he was sworn
in as a deputy county clerk because
it seemed necessary to have some one
around at'nights to take verdicts rem
dered by juries and also to have an
attache of the clerks office available
at all times to act in Court in the alb
sence of the County Clerk. On Novem-
ber 13, 1918, Harris was engaged by
Henry H. Leeds, of Rancocas, to make
a title search, which he did as an
~ ~I 60 nh ho
800 He kept the money, because, as
he said on the stand, he was employed
by Mr.. Leeds on numerous occasions,
was engaged in this case outside the
official business of the clerks Office,
was given to understand that it was
his private search and not the clerks
official search that was wanted. In
addition Mr.. Leeds not only asked for
complete search that would go be-
yond the records of the clerks office,
but said he wanted Mr.. Harris to pass
on the title to the property involved
and the sufficiency of the deed To-
drawn from his search.
The accused made no denial of ~
fact that he received the money,
which he was charged with retaining
unlawfully. The sole question at is
sue was whether Harris had taken
money that properly belonged to the
county Mr. Leeds testified that he
engaged Harris because he wanted
something more than would come to
him through an official search from
the clerks office, and when he receiv-
ed Harris private search and opinion
he knew exactly what he was getting.
There was nothing about the search
to show that it had ever come from
the County Clerks office, being on
Harris private stationery. It was
Harris individual receipt that was
given Leeds when the $40 was paid
The case went to the jury in the af-
ternoon, and it found a verdict of not
guilty in the evening.
Attorney General Wescott said that
the State could not tolerate such iISz
condition as Harris had admittee22~1
this case, as under that proposition
there can be no punishment of ras-
cally public officer. He did not think
that any Court or jury should uphold

NORTHERN GREECE IS The NEWEST BATTLE-GROUND

London. on.-Detachments of Bulgarian
troops have crossed the Greek from
tier in pursuit of the retreating Al
lies, according to reports received IN
Paris and Rome.
This is confirmed by dispatch from
Saloniki, by way of Athens, that
small Bulgarian force had advanced
five miles beyond the Greek frontier.
Another dispatch from Athens states
that the Allies having halted their re-
treat just south of the Serbian line
were shelled by the Bulgarian bat
teries. some of the shells falling into
Greek territory This dispatch con-
cludes by stating that "a lively battle
is in progress"
These various reports caused sur
prise in London, as it had been I'M
derstood that the Bulgarians had de-
cided definitely not to provoke the
Greeks by carrying the fighting
across the frontier, and that this task
would be left to the Austro-Germans.
The conclusion in military quarters
is that the next big battle will in
all probability, be fought in Greece,
despite the efforts of the Hellenic
King and government to save their
country from war.
Greece's situation automatically
has been complicated by the request
of Germany to know whether the
Athens cabinet does not look upon
the use of Greek territory by the En-
tente Allies as a breach of her neu-
trality This inquiry is considered to
foreshadow German participation in
the pursuit.
Pursuing thh fleeing expeditionary
forces down the Vardar valley, the

troops from the English and slaughter

BuLeARs PUSH OFFENSIVE.

London.-The British Tenth Divis-
ion was saved by the gallantry of
three Irish regiments, the Munster
Fusiliers, the Dublin Fusiliers and the
Connaught Rangers, when forced to re-
treat Irom Lake Doiran, Serbia, before
greatly superior force Of Bulgarians
and Germans, the London War Office
announced
The loss of 1,500 men and the aban-
donment of eight field guns is admit
ed.
When the allies found that retire
ment to a new position extending
from Lake Doiran to the Vardar Val
ley was inevitable, the British, who
had advanced a long distance from the
railway to the northeast of Lake Doir-
an, were confronted by an army much
larger than their own and had to cut
their way out. The hardest of the
work fell on the Irish troops.
The French are reported by the
Bulgarians to be preparing new posi-
tions on Greek territory, near Maja-
dagh, as a result of their defeat near
Rabrovo and Valandovo.
London announces that both the
French and British are now retiring
in an orderly way with an unbroken
front, but Sofia and Berlin dispatches
assert the retreat of allied troops is
panicky, and that many war materials
and large stores of provisions are be-
ing abandoned in the flight.
The capture of $500 prisoners and
40 guns in the Montenegro and AL
banian campaign by the Austro-Hun-
garian forces is reported.
On the Russian front the Germans
are withdrawing their centre to what
is known as the Bug River line. This
move is due to their inability to OBJ
tain complete control of the Lida-
Baronovitchi-Rovno railway, which
was necessary for the successful hold
| ing of the advanced positions which
they reached after their great drive of
last summer.

Especial Trenton Correspondence

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton-After an exhaustive ex-
animation for almost year of some
of the largest hat making shops OF
the country, the Department OF Labor
of New Jersey has issued a booklet
which shows manufacturers how to
reduce the occupational diseases
which have been linked with the
trade. The booklet is of interest to
manufacturers here because Philadel-
phia has some of the largest hat fac
tories in the country, and the best
methods to protect workers were
found to be used in shops of that city.
Much of the investigation work was
done by Miss Lillian Erskine, an ex-
pert in industrial betterment She is
a member of the American Associa-
tion for Labor Legislation, and in the
Pennsylvania Legislatures session of
1913 advocated the passage of the oc-
cupational diseases bill While inves-
tigating hat factories, in which there
we're virtually no safeguards for
workmen, Miss Erskine became i'll.
After a rest, however, she was able to
resume her labors.
The booklet is published by Lewis
T. Bryant, Labor Commissioner of
New Jersey, and is in line with his in
structive policy. In foreword he
points out that four enemies to the
health of the worker, until recently
unchallenged, have long haunted hat
or
curial poisoning, tuberculosis of the
lungs, humidity and lack of santa
ton Several insurance companies re-
fuse to insure fur cutters, makers,
starters and sizers at any premium,
and workers in other departments are
charged high premiums. "The Knights
of Columbus in Connecticut likewise
have excluded certain classes of hat
ters from the benefits of fraternal in
surance," says the report.
One of the principal hazards of the
business is in the operation known as
"pouncing." This consists, says the re-
port, in merely placing the hat on a
rapidly revolving felt-covered wooden
block turned by machinery, and rub
bing the crown smooth by the fric-
tion of a piece of fine emery paper.
A cloud of fine dust. highly irritating
to the throat and lungs of the worker,
is thrown off.
Mercurial poisoning, with it's trail of
death and disability, is dwelt upon
by the report 1t calls attention to
the process of mixing nitric acid and
mercury for application to skins. "In
some shops it is the custom to mix
every day, using heat to quicken the
combination" says the report. "The
better practice is to let the solution
stand from three to five weeks before
using. This is not only trade ad-
vantage, but also lessons the mercury
hazard" To permit open containers
to stand in the workshop, or to boil
the solution in shops at night, is to
endanger the health of the workers.
In it's summary of sanitary stand
ards the department makes % re-
quirements These cover every de-
partment in the hat-making industry,
regulating height of ceilings in GER
| tain rooms where it is necessary to
have good ventilation and providing
| for the elimination of dust and fur
fibre.
