fined SIS for assaulting officers Shaded
and Carslake who were arresting the
man for drunkenness.
Charles Cuttitia, who has been in the
Jail for several months for an indecent
assault upon little girl, was sent to the
Railway reformatory.
Charles Williams was tried on the
charge of stabbing Frank L.. Strickland,

about the mans guilt but there were
other circumstances that the.court wish
ed to inquire into. The doctors at
Cooper hospital were called by telephone

badly cut on the arm. There is posi-
bility that he may lose use of his arm.
The court decided to await further de-
velopments before sentencing Williams.
Tony Perocco, who had been sentenc-
ed to four months in the county Jail for
stealing wire from the telephone line at
Hainesport, was brought into court and
when it was shown that his health is in
very bad shape his sentence was re-
considered and he was released.
Judge Lippincott tried the suit of
William A. Jones against Victor Grover.
The latter sold to Jones an automobile
that was afterwards found to have been
stolen and when Jones discovered this
fact he made restitution to the owner.
He then tried to make Grover pay him.
The court decided that when Jones
bought the automobile he had no know
ledge that it was not the property OF
Grover and that the latter should be
made to pay the money that Jones had
been compelled to give up.

Woolman Pilgrimage.

More than two hundred members of
the Friends Historical Society of Phila-
delphia came to Mount Holly Saturday.
The John Woolman Memorial House
was the objective point of the annual
pilgrimage Of the body to place of his
torical interest.
There was particular reason why the
Woolman house should be selected for
the pilgrimage this year, as it was
through the activities of members of
the Friends Historical Society, under
the leadership of Amelia Mott Gum
mere, of Haverford, Pa, that the home
of the great preacher in Mount Holly
was purchased last fall.
Since its purchase the house has been
restored as nearly as possible to its
original condition, as described in THE
NEWS last week.
The weather conditions of Saturday
were unfavorable for the outdoor exer.
cises planned at the me mortal house
property and it was necessary for the
visitors to hold part of them in the
meeting house at High and Garden
streets. Introductory remarks were
made by David H. Forsythe, president
Amelia Mott Gummere spoke on thu
local associations of John Woolman
and gave an account of the memorial
Whittier's poem on John Woolman wa
recited by Hannah p. Morris, and Ma,

The Four-Mile Colony.

Plans for the State to take complete
control of the Burlington County Colony
for Feeble-Minded Boys at Four-Mile
provision for which has been made by
the Legislature, will be considered at a
meeting of the State Commission of
Predetermined Males, at the colony, on
Wednesday. Satisfied that they have
demonstrated to the world the value of
the colony system in solving the problem
of sub-normal humanity, the managers
have agreed to such transfer and have
offered to turn over to the State the
buildings erected by county contractors
at a cost of $1,000.
Burlington county has shown the
world that its experiment in the care of
feeble-minded boys is great success, Z"
said Commissioner Bishop, Of Florence,
on Sunday. 1.-THE colony was an expert
ment, pure and simple, but it has proven
just the things that we hoped it would.
and the time has come when the State
should step in and assume entire respon-
sibility. Four-Mile is the logical place
for the State to inaugurate the greater
work planned. There are 600 acres Of
State forest, ready for development by
the boys, and, in the person of Superin-
tendent ]. Frank Macomber, we have
probably the best world authority on the
management of such colonies
The colony is now caring for 4S boys,
and nearly so acres of pine land have
been cleared for farming There are
many applications for admission, but
the present dormitories are filled to their
capacity. State officials believe that up
to 200 boys could be safely colonized here
under one management, and that, after
that number were reached, another
colony should be established in North
Jersey.

declined.
When the telegram of acceptance from
Justice Hughes was read at the White
House, President Wilson preserved a
dignified silence, declining comment on
the paper, but Joe Tumulty gave his
opinion that the acceptance twas weak. :"
Just think of it-a tin soldier like Joe
Tumulty criticising a man Of the charac-
ter and ability of Justice Hughes.
THE News displayed bulletin Satur-
day afternoon announcing the nomina-
ton Of Justice Hughes. We will not
take the trouble to put up bulletin on
the result Of the Democratic nomination
but will just state here now that wood
row Wilson has been nominated for q
second term" Later we will put
up bulletin that he has been defeated.
County Clerk knight arrived home
from Chicago on Sunday evening. Be
fore the train reached Harrisburg Mr..
knight was informed, on the trip out,
that he had been selected secretary of
the New Jersey delegation. position
that kept him very busy. There is a
story afioat that Mr.. Knight went to the
Republican convention at Chicago as the
guest of Walter E. Edge. Possibly this
rumor was started with the idea of show.
ing that the County Clerk was to be put
under obligations to the man he is sup
porting for Governor. But the exact
truth is that Mr.. Knight spent his OWL
money on the trip and the special car or
which the delegates travelled was no
paid for by any one man but each occu
pant contributed his share of the ex
lpelse.

But every suggestion to do something
to get an idea of what would happen
was frowned upon by Messrs. Prickitt
and Royle, who were the spokesman for

out of place. that it looked as ''if there
was an effort to cram something down
