bill was taken from file, to refer it tJ
the committee on education and public
morals, the membership of which stands
three to two in favor of six months
residence. But an amendment was Of
fered by Senator Lee to refer to the
judiciary committee, which was car

than az majority of the senate. As the
commitetee on judiciary stands four to

will be unfavorabie. In the vote OPP

Elks Win Ball Game.

/ History repeated itself on Thursday
in the game of base ball between mem
bers of Mount Holly Lodge of Elks ane
team composed of Burlington County
Officials On August 10, 1903, there wa,
q game between mines made up of Elk:
and County Officials, and the result was
the same, p to 8, in favor of the Elks
which is an odd coincidence.
The largest crowd of the season was
present on the High street ground, on
Thursday, to witness the game, and
everybody should have been satisfied,
for there were exhibited 81 varieties OF
ball playing and some stunts that are
not commonly seen in the game. Some
of the has-beens did pretty we'll, while
Others proved that they are doomed to
remain in that class. Rusty joints,
glass arms, spavins, game legs, and
other athletic ailments were in evidence,
which is not surprising when the birth
records OF some of the players are UNI
earthed.
The entire receipts of the game,
amounting to $3.50, were given to the
Burlington County Hospital. All ex-
penses were paid by each team.
DR.. Longsdorf easily carried off the
honors for pitching. With less practice
than any Of the others, he filled the
position creditably and played good all
round game besides, at bat, base run
ming and fielding.
Tax Board Secretary Absalom had all
kinds of trouble at third base. 1t APP
peared as if the heavy sluggers on the
Elks' team had spite against him, for
nearly all the difficult chances on the
infield went to him, and most of them
were screamers. That accounts for his
five errors, most of which were quite
excusable
The game had not progressed many
innings before it becan evident that
the Elks had the faster ream, both in
the field and at bat. Their infield put
up good game, and most of the work
was done there, the outfield having but
few chances. Fryer played star game
at third; Warrick covered second in old
time form; Lynn did some fast work at
short, and Coles, as usual, was on the
job at first.
McCue made four hits, two OF which
were home runs, and Evans also got four
safeties, one two Dagger.
Sheriff Stecher proved that he still
can hit the ball, as he had batting
average OF 500, and he was quite nimble
on the bases.
For the benefit of posterity, and to
have record that will settle arguments
among the living, the detailed official
score is given below, and an examina-
ton OF it will tell the story of each
players work.

Farmers Should Co-Operate,

A meeting of farmers was held at the
Stokes seed farm, near Moorestown, on
Friday, at the invitation of the Stokes
Seed Company, to discuss marketing
conditions, the low price of products,
and to devise remedies for those condi-
tions.
Farmers told about truckloads of pro-
duce sold in a glutted, overburdened
market at big loss, while of their own
knowledge neighbors not far away were
paying high prices for the same class of
goods.
E. A. Sexsmith, Belmar farmer, de-
|clared the state farm demonstration
service has given farmers in his county
good results in getting better market
conditions. County freeholders and
many farmers opposed the county bu-
reau when it was established, he said
but rural interests are now practically
unanimous in its support. He urged
every South Jersey farmer to work for
the establishment of a demonstration
bureau in his home county.
That every shipping center in south
Jersey should erect community cold
storage plant was the recommendation
of II. H. Mckay, superintendent of the
Reading Terminal market, Philadelphia
in a conference address. "a storage
plant would stop Cutting of the
markets by enabling your farmers to
hold up for ten or fifteen days, or longer,
the shipment of your perishable crops,
such as peas and tomatoes he said.
Other speakers urged the cold storage
propositions; the organization of board
of marketing experts, representing
growers, middlemen and consumers, and
the election of state legislators that will
give serious attention to the farmers
problems.
Emmor Roberts said the present pool
marketing conditions affect the con-
sumner, in the long run, just as much as
the farmer. 1--WE must have middlemen,
but the more of them we can eliminate
and the nearer we can bring the farmer
and the consumer, the better for both.
''The California farmer has met and
solved his market problem in this way
Even the grain growers once threw their
grain away because they could not find
an immediate market. Adams county
Pennsylvania, Is years ago, produced
little fruit fit for market; this year il
will ship 100000 barrels of first-class
apples, because storage has showr
farmers how to hold and market tn,
crop. The result is that the consume
can buy quality apples the year around
at fair price"
Farmers can get together and do al
the kicking they please about hare
times and market conditions and it will
accomplish little good unless som,
definite plan is agreed upon" said How
ard w. Selby, of the Starkey Produc
company. He told of plans to brini
railroad shipping men, farmers, bankers
commission men and cold storage mel
into a central conference in Pennsyl
vania, this week, to organize a marke
board to work out the solution of marke
lproblems. Horace Roberts, of Moores
town, and Charles Barton, of Marlton
will represent South Jersey farmers a
the conference.

Base Ball.

Medford came to Mount Holly, OF
Saturday, loaded to win, but that objec
was not accomplished. Probably tn,
padding was detriment rather than {
benefit. 1t ofttimes is in base ball. The
new faces on the visitors team did not
add to the strength or effectiveness oil
their usual work at bat or in the field.
1t was fast game, with the odds in
favor of the home team for snappy play
ing. Chance was almost invincible,
holding the visitors to three singles A
pass to Worrell in the second inning was
his only fatality, as the runner stole
second, was advanced to third by Davis
sacrifice. and crossed the pan ON single
by Dickinson, the only tally made by
Medford.
Berner was borrowed from Moorestown
to do the pitching against Mount Holly
and he proved to be disappointment to
the visitors, as he was not as effective
as had been anticipated, and his error
in the third was costly.
Mount Holly chall<ed one run in the
third on single by Chance, who started
to steal second just as Burtis hit the ball
to Berner. The latter, in hurrying to
catch the runner at second, threw wild,
the ball going to centre, and Chance
went home.
The next tally was made in the fourth
frame, when Ritter hit into the cornfield
in left for home run.
In the sixth. McCue singled, stole
second, and scored on an error by Blank
on ground hit by Ritter.
Burtis made fine catch of foul fly
in left field in the first inning. Folwell
shut off run in the fourth, when, after
retiring Lennox on fly to right, he re-
turned the ball by perfect throw to
McCue, who put out Wills who was at
to score.
Lennox, at third, robbed Folwell of a
single by jumping and catching Texas
Lacquer with his left hand.
The score follows:

Suit tn Recover Sfs-

Before Justice Hebron and a jury,
yesterday, was heard the case of the
Mount Holly National Bank against
Mae E. Shisler, of Burlington, and John
Peacock, of Florence, to recover SIS on a
protested check,
The testimony of Mrs. Shisler showed
that while employed in Mr.. Peacock s
real estate Office in Burlington, on June
IL last, she was given a check for s15, to
her order, signed by Mr.. Peacock, and
told to go to the Burlington Trust Com
pany and have it cashed for him. On
the way to the bank she stopped to get
soda water, and when she left the place
it was after three o'clock and the bank
had closed. Having S14 in her purse,
she borrowed one dollar from young
man named Bernard Ryan, and she
cashed the check, placing the money on
Mr.. Peacock's desk, where he later Sc
cured it. Two days afterward, while
working temporarily for Robert Peacock,
at Mount Holly, she presented the check
at the bank here and received the cash
therefor. Later she was notified that
the check had been protested by the
Burlington Trust Company on account
of insufficient funds. Mr.. Ryan corro-
borated loaning the dollar to Mrs.
Shisler.
Mr.. Peacock testified that the sigma
ture was forgery, and that he did not
give the check to the woman. He
stated that he would not give check
that day for SIS on the Burlington. Trust
Company because he did not have that
much money on deposit there.
At the request of the attorneys, Mrs. |
Shisler wrote her name and Mr.. Pea
cocks on sheet of paper, in the pres
ence of the jury, and Mr.. Peacock did
the same.
Mr.. Peacock's signature card, from the
Burlington Trust Company and one of
his checks were produced, and, with the
alleged forged check, were given to the
Jury.
The jury returned a verdict against
Mr.. Peacock for SIS and protest fee.
