Crash Due TO Dust.

Coroner Gaslzill went to New Gretna
Wednesday and held an inquest in the
case Of the persons killed in an automo-
bile collision at that place Saturday
evening. When detective Parker and
the state inspector of motor vehicles
went to New Gretna on Sunday to in
quire into the cause of the fatal accident
there were any quantity Of stories af1oat
and from the evidence that appeared TO
be available the automobiles were travel
ing like flying machines, were racing in
a reckless manner and there was abso-
lutely no excuse for the occurrence.
But when the people who had been SO
willing to place the responsibility were
brought before the jury and told their
stories under oath there was quite diff
ference. Deaton, the driver of one OF
the automobiles, and Joseph E. Howard,
said the dust was so great that the bridge
was not no ticed until they were right on
it and then it was impossible to clear
the abutnhents. There was no evidence
that any of the party was under the in
fluence Of liquor. and after giving the
case a most careful hearing the jury de
cided that no blame could be attached
to any of those in the cars, and Deaton
who had been arrested, was discharged
from custody.
All Of the parties who were connected
with the tragedy have undoubtedly sui
fered torture from the fatalities which
followed the collision. While there il
not the slightest doubt that the autoi
were exceeding the speed limit, there
were no witnesses who were able to qualify
on that point, but the motor vehicl,
department of the state has reached tina
conclusion. The auto reciprocity Of
NJ. Schlessinger, James Nj. Deaton ant
Joseph Howard, of New York, wht
figured in the tragedy, has been revoked
The motor commissioner declares tina
the autoists were guilty of reckless
speeding, and Deaton, Schlessinger'
chauffeur, has been placed on the de
partment's blacklist

Shutdown at Mill.

When the hands employed by the
Royle-Pilkington Company went to
work yesterday morning the weavers
were surprised to find that the doors
were closed against them and that a
notice had been posted that they
would be paid off at 5.45 p. m. An at
tempt to get information from the man.
ayers of the mill received the response,
I'VE are not saying anything; we have
closed the weaving department indefin-
itely." When told the stories that were
being circulated around the town the
answer came from the management that
eve are not responsible for what may
be said; they are liable to ayanything :"
The story told by number of the men
employed is that the mill did not. close
for the merchants picnic, which is a
fact, and by the way, it was about the
only establishment that did not shut
down for that event. Possibly recollec-
ton of the disaster that occurred last
year had something to do with this. But
the mill kept on working Some Of the
night shift, according to the story told
by some of the men, did not go to work
that night, and when they appeared the
next night, one or two were penalized.
The balance of the Yeavers decided to
organize union and to take measures
to protect themselves.
On Sunday an organizer came to Mount
Holly and started the preliminary ar
rangements for permanent organiza-
ton. All of the weavers are expected to
go into this union. To-day the organ
izer will be here with the necessary
papers TO start things right and officers
will be elected. The "beamers' and
''twisters' and "winders" kept on work.
ing, but it is said they will be compelled
to quit because there will not be any
weavers to use up the material they are
preparing.
A great many of the men did not go
out last evening to get their pay. Some
OF them did not have much coming to
them, others did, but they did not seem
to be very anxious to go to the place.
This is about all there is to tell at
present. The men are determined not to
go to work right away, and the owners
say they "have shut down the weaving
department indefinitely" And thus it
rests at present.

Base Bali

Mount Holly made it fifteen straight
victories on Saturday when it downed
Lumberton on the grounds of the latter.
Lumberton was very anxious to win,
which was not to be wondered at, for in
addition to winning a game it would
have been big feather in the caps of
the Lumberton men to say they gave
Mount Holly its first defeat. Cooney,
the village blacksmith, was the umpire
behind the bat, and he had given out
the information that he proposed to call
balk on Forbes the firstopportunity he
got. The time came. Forbes made one
of his peculiar motions and Cooney told
the man on first base to go to second.
This caused protest on the part of
Mount Holly and after some discussion
and the producing of the rule book,
Cooney decided that he had been little
hasty and sent the runner back Soon
after that Forbes threw to first and again
Cooney called "baik." Another discus
sion followed. The Mount Holly cap
tain was asked to tell on what he based
his objection to the decision, and he said
the pitcher had used his foot as the rules
allowed, and Cooney admitted he was
watching the pitchers hands and not
his feet. Again he made the runner re-
turn to first After that there was not
any complaint on the balk business but
Cooney appeared to be somewhat ratified
in his decisions on balls and strikes
Mount Holly's first run was scored in
the third inning. Lippincott reached
first on an error but was caught attempt
ing to steal second Forbes went out on
a fly. Lawrie Gillian got to first on a
hot one that Lumberton's shortstop
could not handle. He stole second easily
and also stole third. The umpire called
him safe on close play and immedi-
ately there was cry of "robber" from
the Lumperton grandstand, but it was
changed later when Lumberton's third
baseman came in and said he did not
touch the runner. McCue made hit
which scored Gillian, but he was left at
second, which he stole without much
effort. Things went along smoothly un-1
til the sixth inning, when Cooney called
Lawrie Gillian out on third strike that |
was very high. McCue got his second
hit, stole second base, and scored on
Foulks' hit. This ended the run getting
and the game closed with Mount Holly |
the winner by the score of too.
Following is the score:
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1916-08-15

Mount Holly played without an error.
McCue surprised himself and his hackers
by making three hits, bringing in one
run and making the other.
Lumberton's outfield had plenty of
work and they did it we'll. The center
fielder caught four flies and the left
fielder captured six, making ten of the
q putouts.
Cline was the only man on the home
team who made any errors and he had
two and it wasson of them that made
the first run possible.
After Cooney had been shown twice
that he did not know the rule respecting
balk, the Lumberton crowd called our
catcher Baby" McCue, but he did
pretty well for an infant-12 putouts, 8
hits, stolen bases and l run.
Jersey" was on hand with his stick
work. He got two hits.
Lumberton found Forbes for seven
hits-one each for all but the first base
man and right fielder.
One of the Lumberton players re-
marked that Forbes could make balks at
Mount Holly and get away with it but
twas different at Lumberton, he couldn't
get awRy with it there. But when the
rule book was consulted some nf the
Lumberton players were shown that
they did not know the rule respecting
balk. After they got their eyes opened
the game proceeded without further
kicking.
Mount Holly will play at home on
Saturday, when st. Paul, of Burlington,
will be the visiting team. Costigan,
who once caught for Mount Holly, wiz
be behind the bat for st. Paul.
AT Rancocas Park on Thursday there
was an exciting game between the Tiger
A. c. and Columbia A. c., both Mount
Holly clubs. The Columbia boys won
the game by the score of 3, taking
IA innings to settle the contest.
Mount Holly will play at Toms River
to-day.

Political Notes.

Who steals my purse steals trash, -
is to be revised to read who gets little
more Of the public pap than do touches
tender part of my makeup"
With Senator Edge or Senator Colgate
the Republican candidate for Governor,
and with former Governor Murphy or
former Senator Frelinghuysen the
candidate for United States Senator,
THE News pledges itself to give either
of the gentlemen the heartiest support

Mirror promise the same thing?
Frank S. Davis authorizes THE NEWS
TO announce that he will not be candi-

might be matter of doubt and that he
might stand in the way Of some good
man. He returns thanks to all who
have spoken so kindly to him and gives
assurance OF his support to the success
full candidate.
ANY port in a storm" For the want
OF anything better the Mirror comes out
with the statement that THE News has
shown its preference for former Governor
Murphy for U. S. Senator confirming the
rumor that there is to be combine of
Edge forces with the Murphy people. 1T
really is wonderful what queer ideas one1
may get and how willingly man who
is supposed to possess ordinary common
sense will make statements that might
possibly be withheld if little mature
reflection were used. There will be
many votes cast for Senator Edge for
Governor in this state, and it is quite
likely that many of those voters will cast
their ballots for Senator Frelinghuysen,
yet nobody would assert that there was
any combination to that effect On the
other hand there are several in this local
ity who have openly avowed their pur-
pose OF voting for Mr.. Murphy but who
are going to vote for Senator Colgate.
