CHARGED WITH
FIRING CABIN
Jacob Fries Is in Jail for
Arson.
CABIN BURNED.
Last Night a Cabin Along the
River Was Fired and DAM
aged Upon Interior.

Jacob Fries, carpenter living on
South Laarel Street, was committed
to Jail this morning upon a charge of
arson.
Fries was arrested last night late,
after a cabin owned by Harry Moore
and William Smith had been Quilted
with fire. The cabin is located on the
east side of Cohansey river, down
near Henry Street.
Last night Fries met William Smith
on South Pearl Street and they had
some argument. Fries became wildly
excited and finally threatened Smith.
In a rage Fries left Smith and de-
clared he would hurn out the cabin.
A half hour later fire was discov-
cred in the cabin by people living in
the vicinity. After a hord fight the
flames were eXtinguished, but pretty
much eve, y,h ns inside the cabin was
destroyed
This morning Fries admitted that he
had had an argument with Moore and
Smith over money matters and fur
ther admitted that he had gone down
to the cabin just before the fire, but
he strenuously denied that he had
fired the place.
Arson not being bailable, Fries was
committed to Jail for a hearing next
Tuesday night
Fries has a bad reputation, and
claims to have killed man at one
time for which he served time in pris-
on. He dl links and when under the
influence of liquor is especially vic
icus.

WHOLE NO. 1850
SENATE ALL
STIRRED UP

Washington, March 6.-The reading
OF New York newspaper editorial,
which declared that until the House
had tabled the McLemore resolution
the German flag hung over the can't
tol, today stirred the Senate to a spir-
tied debate.
Not the jingo editor or loud-mouth
patriot truly represents American
sentiment" said Senator McCumber
The existence of an aggressive and
well-financed league to bring this
country into war on the side of the
Allies was charged by Senator Jones.
He wondered if the New York editor
might not belong to it.
No true American patriot would
risk plungfng his nation into a war
by insisting on travelling on an armed
belligerent instead of neutral ship"
continued McCumber.
Jones quoted from the constitution
of this alleged league-The Citizen
League for American and the Allies
these words TO use all lawful means
to put this nation definitely in SYM
pathy with the Allies" He said that
at meeting in Boston, Professor
Josiah Rogers of Harvard had said.
let us do all we can to bring about
rupture between this country and
the Central Powers"
Senator Oliver, as one who voted
for the President, said he apologized
for the sentiments in the New York
editorial
Senator Pomerene read tnto the
record statement by Secretary Lam
sing that Great Britain had not, in
the Russo-Japanese war, warned its
citizens off armed merchantmen.

SERIOUS CASE
IS REPORTED

The police department have been in
vestigating what appears to be most
deplorable case. A fifteen year old
girl is in delicate condition the hus-
band of a married sister being respon-
sible for the condition. In addition
the child is suffering from disease.
The little girl has before been mother.
The story that is obtained by the po-
lice is that the husband and wife and
child occupy the same room. The con-
dition is as deplorable as some of the
stories that come from that unfortu-
nately notorious section known as
''rhe Pines.''

JUSTICES COURT

There are several small, but impor-
tant civil suits to come off before the
local Justices this week Before JUS
tice Frank S. Mckee, Jr., there is a
suit between the two horse dealers,
VIM. Steinsnyder and Leslie E. Soud-
ers. 1t is a matter involving but a
few dollars, but each thinks the other
is wrong.
Before Justice Charles Fielding this
morning was a suit of ejectment which
is likely to be something more than
usual in interest before it is ended,
and before Justice Donnelly comes a
desertion case from Millville.
The ejectment case of Adams against
Jacob Freas was begun at 10 o'clock.
