ASSEMBLY GIVEN JOLT ON
NEWARK RIPPER" BILL.

Assemblyman Whitman threw a
jolt in the House Of Assembly on
Monday night when he voted against
the Newark Ripper" The bill, the
passage of which it has been declar-
ed would show the Republican major
ity in the House to be subservient to
the bosses, was killed by the vote of
% to 80.
Legislative political critics have
been predicting that the Republican
majority was prostituted to political
ends and would jam the Ripper
bills through, but the result shows
that criticism of the Republican adj
ministration of the Legislature is
largely political, There were ten 9TH
err Republicans besides Whitman who
voted against the Ripper.
Beaten on this bill no attempt was
made to bring up the other four Grip
per" bills. These bills would cor
ganize the whole city government of
Newark, without submitting the ques-
ton to the people on referendum.

NEW BOULEVARD PLANS
NOW FULLY APPROVED.

Approval of the plans and specifi-
cations for the proposed Absecon-At-
lantic City Boulevard has now been
granted not only by the State Com
missioner of Highways, but by the.
War Department of the Federal gov
eminent and by the State Commission
on Commerce and Navigation. Bids
for the construction of the Boulevard
will be received by the Board of Free

the contract will probably be let.
From the State an appropriation of
$4,000 has been guaranteed by Com
missioner Stevens on the basis of for
ty per cent. of the cost. This will
bring the entire cost to the County
about 100000.

RIGHT ARM MANCLED
BY SUBURBAN TROLLEY
Frank Clark, Section Foreman
of Reading Railroad, Injured
Last Monday Night.

His right arm frightfully mangled
from wrist to shoulder as a result of
being ground under the wheels of a
Suburban trolley car on Monday
night, Frank Clark, section foreman
for the Reading Railway, was rushed
to the Atlantic City Hospital at mid
night. He was in a critical condition
from loss of blood, and an operation
for the amputation of his arm was
performed in a desperate effort to
save his life.
Clark was raving with pain when
he was taken to the hospital, and was
unable to give a coherent account of
the accident. From the conductor
and motorman of the trolley it was
ascertained that the man was struck
at the fourth switch on the meadow
in the outskirts of Pleasantville, near
the old Turnpike. He was walking
with his face to the car, and his form
was revealed to the motorman too
late to bring the a to a stop.
Clark was lifted, crushed and bleed
ing, from the tracks and rushed with
all possible speed to Pleasantville,
where he was attended by two phys
icians. An emergency call sent to
police headquarters of Atlantic City
brought the police patrol speeding
across the Meadow Boulevard, return
ing soon afterwards with the terri
bly, injured railway employee.

EX-MAYOR CRAWFORD ASPIRES
TO AGAIN BE MUNICIPAL HEAD
Will Oppose Mayor Adams In Prim-
aries.-Other PrObables.

Although the primaries will not be
held until September, municipal poll
tics are beginning to simmer and
there is every likelihood of an inter
esting contest for nomination on the
republican ticket for several of the
Offices. Thomas F. Crawford, who
served the city as Mayor just prior
to the present Mayor, u that
he will contest with Mayor Adams for
the nomination this fall. Clark Ad-
ans will try to wrest the Freebooter
ship in the First Ward from Lewis
R. Smith, and it is quite probable that
other candidates for these and the
other offices to be filled will be in the
field. Charles w. Schmidt, ST., Coun-
Gilman from the First Ward, whose
term expires, will be a candidate for
reelection. The terms of Council
man-at-Large Archie Willis, Council
mar William H. Sapp and Freebooter
John P. Ashmead also expire this fall.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS FOR
NORTHFIELD COUNTRY CLUB

Arrangements have been perfected
by the Country Club for the remodel
ing of their club house at Mortified.
The plans include the charging of
the porch for dancing purposes and
the installation of new furniture and
a latest model Victrola. These
changes are made necessary by the
popularity of the Club during the
past summer. The receipts in the
culinary department last year in
creased more than 800 per cent. over
former years. The Board of Direc-
tors will meet at the Club today
Saturday, when further improve
ments will be considered. Following
luncheon, they will have a tournament
among themselves.

FREE CITY DELIVERY OF
MAIL NOW IN SIGHT.

The good record at the Pleasant
vile postofice continues, and it will
be necessary for the receipts of
March to reach but $500 in order to
bring the total for the year up to
$4,000, the required sun to receive
full city delivery, so that the goal is
now easily within reach and undoubt-
eddy will be obtained. In February,
the total receipts were $848.07, as
compared with $771.34 with the CORE
spending month last year. Stamps
and stamped paper brought in SS41.-
50, the same items in February, 1915,
totaled S762.66. The total receipts
for March, 1915, were 1881, so that
if this record is equaled, and there is
every indication that it will be exceed
ed, we will have passed the 10000
mark for the year.

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF
PISTOL CAUSES ALARM.

The accidental discharge of a gun
held by Constable w. D. Specie caus-
ed a tumultuous several minutes in
the County court house at Mays
Landing shortly after the afternoon
session on Wednesday had gotten I'M
der way. The explosion occurred in
the doorway of the building. Specie
had a narrow escape from fatal in
jury when the ball grazed his stom-
ach q d pierced the ground near his
feet.
Speece with others of the consta-
! hles Prosecutor Moore had stationed
: at ...e court house was armed. 1t is
believed that he tempered with the
trigger of his gun and the gun lex
ploded.
l:AYhe shot rang out just after John
y aormley, colored, and better known
As "John Bull", had finished his testi-
: mony. The occupants of the court
room had been kept or edge because
of the stories circulated of a bitter
feeling between State witnesses and
those of the defense. On the con-
tary there was not the least indica-
: ,ion of an outbreak. Those directly
! interested in the case and on oppos-
ing sides, did not mingle and there
was not a single exchange of words.
The natural result of the shot was
a bolt for the doorway. One of the
| Prosecutors constables stood guard
there and refused to permit anyone to
90 outside. Other constables hurried
to the outside of the room and found
ASpeece with the smoking weapon.
