The Rider Murder

A writ of habeas corpus was to have
been argued on Friday, in Philadel-
phia, for the purpose of securing the
release of the men who have been ar.
rested in connection with the murder
of Henry Rider, at Atsion. For some
reason the hearing was postponed until
next Friday. Millie de Marco, the
young Italian woman who had been
arrested on the suspicion that she was
implicated, was in Moyamensing
prison. Detective Parker had requisi-
| tion papers for all who were under ar
rest and AIillie was released from the
prison but was Immediately taken into
custody by Parker who brought her to
the prison here. All the stories told
about the girl crying and screaming
and that she was kidnapped are ina
gination. The girl came to Mount
Holly without mumur of objection
and said she was glad to getaway from
Philadelphia.
On Saturday Carmela Battiglia was
taken before Andrew j. Rider but the
latter could not identify the man as
one OF those who participated in the
shooting. The man was taken back to
the city hall and his photograph was
secured and it will be shown to Miss
deAIarco with the hope that she may
be able to give information on the sub
ject. This young lady has shown a
willingness to aid the authorities in
every way possible.
Detective Parker has the names and
descriptions of several men whom he
feels confident are wanted in connec-
ton with this crime. He is working
hard, day and night, over the case,
and says he expects to round up the
entire band in a short time.

The Increased Trolley Fare

} When the Public Utilities Commits
: sion gave hearing to the Burlington
County Traction Company on the
proposition to raise the fares fifty Del
cent, the corporation promised to dc
certain things that would better the
condition of the road and be for the
comfort OF the passengers. But there
has not been much change except that
the fares have gone up. The road is
still in the same old rough condition,
the new cars are not yet in sight and
the people who are compelled to ride
on the road are subjected to seasickness
all pleasant. The Mount Holly Bust
ness Mems Association opposed the in
crease in fares and it was only after
that organization withdrew it's objec-
tions, on the promise that conditions
would be bettered that the Utilities
Commission agreed to allow the trolley
people to charge more for passage on
their uncomfortable roadway.
And this concession was made with
the distinct understanding that the
Transit Company would at once pro-
coed to make the Improvements that
were plainly shown to be necessary.
There has been some work done. New
ties have been placed at different
points of the road and it is said new
cars have been ordered. The latter
statement cannot be contradicted but
it is certain the new equipment has not
yet arrived. At any rate travel on the
road is anything but comfortable. A
gentleman came down from Newark a
few days ago and rode over from Bur
lington. When he reached here he i'm
mediately inquired how he could get
out of town without having to be
thrown around as he was on the trip
over.
The Public Utilities Commission has
evidently been keeping the trolley
company in mind or else someone has
been posting it on the way matters
have been conducted. At any rate I'M
der date of October 10, the Commission
issued an order calling for a further
hearing in the matter of increased
charges. The order set forth that on
the 10Th of December, 1915, the Bur
lington County Transit Company
asked the Utilities Commission for an
opportunity to be heard upon proposed
increases in the fares then charged on !
its lines. The Utilities Commission
recites that the Transit Company
promised to put in operation standard
equipment or enter into an operating
agreement with the Public Service |
Company. On this promise those who
opposed the increase of fares agreed |
that the rates should be raised. The |
Utilities Commission did not approve
or disapprove of the plan to raise the
fares but consented that the new
schedule might go into effect last
June. The fares were increased then,
but the Utilities Commission finds
that the operating arrangement with
the Public Service Company has not
been completed and that the Opera
ton of standard equipment is doubt
full, so it was decided that the subject
should be re-opened. To-day is the
date fixed for the hearing on the ques-
ton whether the Burlington County
Transit Company shall be permitted to
charge for transportation over it's lines
rates in excess of those charged prior to
June l, 1916. The hearing will beat
the State House, Trenton.

A Slick Operator.

One day last week man strolled in
to a Philadelphia jewelry store and
wanted to buy watch. Selecting one
that was valued at $18, he rendered a
check drawn to the order of William
S. Fryer and signed by Ellsworth H.
Burtis. The proprietor of the store
asked the customer to write his name,
and the latter at once wrote the same
signature as was on the back of the
check. The storekeeper was not en-
tirely satisfied and he asked the Gus
toner if he had any objections to being
photographed. mot at all, said the
man, and as the jeweler had camera
nearby he took the mans picture. And
if there ever was ''Rube" the photo
graphed man was it.
The storekeeper was still suspicious
of the transaction, so he gave the fel
low the watch and 81 cash, ard asked
him to come back for the balance the
next day. "That will be all right,
said the rube, and he left with an 81
watch and 50 cash.
The next move was on the part o
the merchant, who sent clerk to Bur
lington to ascertain if the check wal
good. There it was discovered that thu
piece of paper had been stolen from
the Office of William S. Fryer, il
Mount Holly, during fair week, ant
that Mr.. Burtis had stopped paymen
on it. The jeweler is willing to sell

Granted A Divorce.

| After living happily together for sew
enteen years, the marital relations o.
Richard James, of Beverly, and Mrs
Elizabeth James, of Camden, were
brought to an end Friday when Special
Master Joline, after hearing the testi-
mony in the husbands suit for di
vorce, advised that the marriage be
dissolved on the statutory grounds al
legged in the husbands petition.
The couple were married on Novem-
Der %, 1895, by minister at Bridge
boro. They lived happily together for
about seventeen years, when the de-
PENDANT was introduced to a man by
the name of Andrew Jackson. From
that time on, things began to appear
suspicious, as he noticed that his wife
seemed to be infatuated with Mr.. Jack
son. Mr.. James, the testimony showed,
censured his wife for her alleged inn
propriety, and she became angered and
left his house.
For several months thereafter James
knew nothing of her whereabouts until
he was appraised by a daughter that
his wife was living in Camden with
Mr.. Jackson. James caused an inves-
tigation to be made and the suit was
the result.
There were four children born of the
marriage, the oldest of whom is nine
teen and is married; the youngest is IL
years. Mr.. James asked that he be
given the custody of the children and
that he be given an absolute divorce.
There was a touch of pathos in the
case when the two youngest daughters
testified that when they visited their

The base ball season in this county
was brought to a close on Saturday at
Palmyra when Delanco and Palmyra
Riverton met for the third time. The
first game was won by Delanco, the
second was a tie and the third was
handed to Palmyra-Riverton by the
umpire. Lafitte, the professional
pitcher was off in his delivery, either
from nervousness or something else
and he was not nearly so effective as
in the prior game, but he made up for
it by getting beautiful three-base hit
which aided in bringing in run.
Blackburn was at shortstop but his
playing was such as to cause some to
wonder where he ever had a lookin to
be a professional. Jimmy" Green
wood, of Hainesport, caught a splendid
game for Delanco, besides getting three
hits. Delanco scored two in the second
inning. Then there was nothing do
ing until the seventh when Palmyra
scored one and followed it with one in
each of the succeeding innings, thus
winning the game. The last run was
made when to the eyes of all but the
umpire the runner was plainly out at
the home plate.
The umpire was Doyle, the fellow
who umpired the bases when Palmyra
played at Mount Holly. He gave an
exhibition then that showed his true
character and that he was as biased in
favor of Palmyra as ever was apparent
on Saturday. 1t is wonder that De-
lance would consent to go on the field
with this fellow umpiring. The De-
lance management thinks very highly
of the work done by Greenwald and
Ritter, the former batting at $3.50 and
Ritter at 275. 1t is quite certain that
Greenwood was the life of the game on
Saturday. 1t is equally certain that
Delanco won the game, and while it is
not always the proper thing to call the
umpire 'trobber," there is no doubt
that he deliberately ruled in favor of
Palmyra twice and both times the de-
cision were at the home plate where
runs counted. Palmyra has no reason
to feel proud of the victory after the
way in which it was handed to them.

Dairymen Organize

About one hundred dairymen met
at Pemberton, last week, and organic
ed the Burlington County Dairymen's
League. The high cost OF producing
milk is so serious with dairymen that
many of them will be compelled to
discontinue the business unless bet
ter price is obtained.
AThe average cost of COW:
Pasturage five months at So
per month $500
One ton of mixed feed at $50
per ton 5000
One bundle of stalks per day
for 210 days 4c each $40
Hay, 10 pounds per day for 2l0
days, $40 per ton 21.0O
Silage, 20 pounds per day for
210 days, S. per ton 10.5C
Depreciation on the COW 7.50
| Housing 5.Ot
Cans, pals, and other utensils sec
Making total for the year slO2. AZ
In the above table several factors
have been omitted. The interest anC
insurance on the money invested in
the cow were considered an offset or
the value of the calf. The labor o.
caring for the COW would balance tbs
manure. The cost of $102.40 of keep
ing this cow divided by the POO quarts
of milk which she produced would giv'
a cost of five cents per quart. Most o
the dairymen in the county are receiv
ling four and half cents. This means
they are not getting good pay for tn
crops which they produce and feed t.
their cows. They are asking an in
crease of one cent per quart whicl
would give the dairymen a profit @
one-half q cent, which is not exorbit
ant. A committee was appointed t
,, meet with the milk dealers at tn
Chamber of Commerce Rooms i
Philadelphia to present their case.
! committee was also appointed to secul
! information as to the methods used b
the dairymen in the vicinity of Ne
York City in their present fight for
: higher price for milk. A committee
: one dairymen from each shippir
G station in this county was appoints
q to secure as many members as possib
y to the Dairymen't League at 81 men
bership fee per year.
Another meeting was held at Colur
bus last night, attended by over
dairymen.
l. A committee of five was appoint
= to meet Philadelphia dealers, milk
IL ganization, etc., to arbitrate any out
ton relative to the increase in price
d milk.
Id 1t was decided to ask 81 cents 7

& cent.

Random Remarks

There were three cases in court yes
terday which created some interest.
One was where man ran into the
street and found another man appar-
emily in the act of chastising the for
mer's son. Instead of having him ar
rested the father rescued his boy and
shook his fist little too close to the
ether mans nose. He took the law in
his own hands, and it was probably
the most natural action that would
have occurred to anyone under similar
circumstances. The offender was very
properly excused from paying fine,
but he was compelled to pay the costs.
Another case was that where a man
also took the law into his own hands
and committed an assault on one whom
he thought or knew had made disparag
ing remarks about him. The fellow as
saulted is merchant in the town, and
it has been one of his amusements or
practices to make insulting or dirty re-
marks about persons, especially ladies
who have passed his place. While
these remarks might not have been
heard by those against whom they
were directed, yet they were obnoxious
just the same. In the case under con
sideration the man who committed the
assault claimed to have heard some re-
mark that the merchant had made
about him. He had some words with
the fellow, the lie was passed and the
blow was struck. The offender paid
$50 for what he had done. but it is a
question whether the money was not
well spent. While the fellow who
made the remarks received corpora
punishment, there ought to be some
wayi in which he could be made to keep
his tongue off innocent passersby.
1 The next case was that of three little
boys who we're indicted for breaking
into the Collins warehouse at Moores
town. Mr.. Savage, in defending these
little chaps, certainly spoke the truth
when he remarked that it was not thu
proper thing to take up the time of tn,
grand jury and the court with such 1
trivial case, and he was perfectly with
in his rights when he rebuked tn
prosecutor for trying to have these boy
punished simply because some othe
persons had been committing depreda
lions at the same place. 1t is enough
to try case on its own merits withou
bolstering it up with some outsid
affair.
