HIS $1,000 FEE

SALEM, N. j., Jan. f-Having hard
ly recovered from the sudden turn
OF affairs in the Salem County Court
last Fridey when Judge Waddington
granted a license to John X. Duffy fer
a Wholesale bottling establishment in
Pennsgrove, the dry sorces of that
borough re celebrating an unexpe.t-
ed victory. To the New Jersey legis-
lature of 1902 credit is due. for that

cense or one for an inn and tavern
and that lit shall be unlawful for any
court to grant such a license"
Duffy was elected to Justice of the
peace two years ago and still has
three to serve and is credited with
having had q gold mine with dis
orderly cases since the boom struck
the powder town.
Duffy came to Salem yesterday to
pay the license fee of $1,000 and also
had his bondsmen ready to sign the
recognizance when he was confronted
with the announcement that because
of the .act that he was justice of
q peace he was prohibited by law
from holding a license.
The law follows:
II shall not be lawful for any court
or municipal authority 20 grant to any
person a license to keep an inn OF
tavern or to sell vinous, malt or brew
ed liquors, who shall be at the same
time a justice of the peace or in
virtue of his office exercise the powers
of justice of the peace, and if any
person shall be elected or appointed a
Justice of the peace or an officer with
the power of a justice of the peace.
in any of tie counti,s or municipali-
ties within this State. during the time
hat he holds such a license and shall
accept f said office. such license shall
.hencefort'. be absolutely void.

NATIONAL BODY FORMED
FOR GUARDSMEN RELIEF
Members of Women's Local Associa-
tion Elect Mrs. William E.
Harvey President. -

Members of the Woman's Relief As
sociation for the National Guard of the
District of Columbia have founded a
national body, to be known as the
Woman's Auxiliary for the National
Guards of the United States, and Mrs.
William e. Harvey has. been elected
president. Other officers will be elected
and constitution will be formed at a
meeting to be held within several days.
In view of the great interest that is be-
ing manifested in the militia all over
the country at present it was thought
that concerted action in relief work for
the present will build up a permanent
organization, which would be another
step toward national preparedness. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Harry Coope, who was
actively connected with the founding of
the new national body, women all over
the country interested in such work
viii be invited to join. 1t is expected
that at the next meeting several states
will send representatives.
Mrs. Coope stated that Washington
will be the national headquarters, be-
cause the District militia is under fed
eral control, and the state militia is
under the joint control of their various
governments and the federal govern
ment.
