Licenses Reduce Riding
Many InCOnVenienced Because Of
Short Transportation

The ordinance to license motor vehicles
which carry passengers went into effect
on September 1. Several have paid their
license fees. The large ~auto-buses aud
the regulars will not have 30 much
competition.
The licenses imposed on jitneys re.
duced the number on September first
from more than twenty to about a dozen
automobiles and the four jumbo jite.
The direct trolley bus to Salem also quit
because of the license. A second hand
car is being operated between Camp 2
and Salem where passengers are transierr-
ed to licensed jits.
Enough jitneys have not taken Licensees
TO accommodate the hundreds who need
to reach Plants 2 and 8 between 6 and 8
O'Clock aud on the other shifts 8 aud ii D.
m. Consequently some have to get up
earlier and walk three miles. Several
citizens made 81 and So a day by using
their autos at tile time OF the shifts. The
license fees are good for tile Borough but
is causing inconvenience to several OF our
citizens and individual ant owners are
losing more than the Borough is gaining
The local auto owners who have been
running occasionally at their convenience
and earning a few dollars do not appre
ciate the license requi rements, because
they do not run enough &c pay them to
take out a license.
The license fee was enacted because
automobiles were coming from many
places and other states md the reciprocity
law. The roads were being worn out with
out the Borough receiving a cent .remun.
Grafton.
Some think It illegal. and nnconstitu.
tional. All laws are legal and constional
until declared not so.
The girl-clerks at Carney Point, consist
ing OF about fifteen who have been trans
ported in Edw. ii. Keen IRIS, auto-bus,
now go by train.

W D FOR RUSSIANS

Last winter some big Russian mob
lemen visited Carney Point. AS q re-
suit the Russian steamship Voroney
has been loading dynamite and powder
at Pidgeon Point wharf, on the Della
ware shore, opposite Deep Water
Point
The smokeless powder from Carney
Point was. transported acros the riv-
er in cars which were run out to the
ship.
The Varoney is said to have taken
on a cargo of metal munitions of war
at New York and thence sailed around
Cape May and up the Delaware to
load up with explosives from the Carn-
ey's Point works. She arrived off
Wilmington. Sunday, August ~
Captain P. O%ranovsky of the Vor-
oney registered his ship at the Wilm-
ington Custom House officials last
Monday. The captain who could not
speak English very clearly was &C
companied by a representative of a
brokerage concern of Philadelphia,
who spoke for him.
Daniel B. Jones, deputy collector at
Wilmington, visited the ship to see
that she was sailing as a merchant
vessel without any attempt to be al
tered as an armed vessel or cruiser.
The following acts constitute the
changing of a merchant marine into
a cruiser for warfare:
"The placing in position or other
wise changing the location of guns
which were on board the vessel at the
time of her arrival.
THE changing of the appearance,
color, rig, or equipment of a vessel as
to render her suitable for some pur-
pose of a
1.-THE taking on board of guns, arms,
or ammunition under circumstances
which in any way indicate the outfit
ting of a vessel for any purpose of
war or in aid of a military expedi-
ton"
dred pound cases of the highest grade
smokeless powder were put on board for
the Russian military forces.
The powder was made at the dupont
plant at Carney's Point, under the super
intendence OF Russian officers. They also
superintendent the slowing of the cargo.
Twenty-Five anto trucks, loaded at New
York, were slowed in the bottom hold of
the vessel to give her stability.
Last Saturday she sailed for Archangle.
Believing that German submarines will
be on the lookout for such a valuable
merchantmen, the British authorities
have made arrangements to convoy the
Voronej with warships long before she
sights the British Isles. She will put in
to Glasgow before proceeding to Arch
angel. Russian warships will convoy the
ship from Glasgow.
The vessel belongs to the Russian vol
unteer fleet OF merchant vessels. She is
equipped with powerful wireless and will
be able to communicate with both sides
OF the Atlantic throughout the voyage,
which is estimated to be about twenty-one
days.
The Russians want ~thirty-ive million
pounds of powder. Much will be shipped
across the continent to go across the Pa
cific ocean and Siberia because Archangel
will be closed by ice most OF the year..

UPLAND WINS REMNANT.

Upland with Il final count of 6 TO 5.
Fish has two more to help Upland in,

1t Has a Rear Entrance.

The second trolley-bus was put Oh he
tween Peuns Grove and Salem on We'd

tile front right side. The second has a

The construction Of these vehicles i
similar to a trolley ear, but lighter and

automobile chassis. With good hard roads
this new conveyance will supply a most
economical mode OF travel where expen-
siye t~rolleys would not pay.
