TWO MORE MURDERS
ITALIAN QUARREL AND DRINK REDUCES
COLONY

With four murders in the Italian col
ony in less than our months the citi-
zens of Penns Grove are not as excited
as some at a distance who read the sen
~sationally written reports. These are
war times. Powder is made to kill men
in war times and while little is thought
of the national murders at the command
of kings in Europe, little is paid to the
real cause Of killing in Penns Grove.
While the State Board of Health is very
solicitious of the few microbes which
cause disease no consideration is made
to the spirituous bacilli which are APP
parent where a murder occurs.
Last Friday night in a small house on
Pitman street. Frank Saprino was shot
through the heart by an Italian named
Patsy, who kept the house where was
found a quantity of whiskey and a lot
of drinking glasses. The only other per-
son known to lave been in the house
at the time was Minnie Hayes. aged 10
years, of Camden. She had been there
only three days, having formerly worked
in a restaurant. She boarded the 1920
train but was arrested by Chief Marshal
Joseph B. Harbeson and has been e n
to Salem Jail to be held as a witness.
On Sunday Luigi d~iLidenstore, anoth-
er Italian, was found in the woods by
the roadside, half mile from the Bor-
ough limits, on the road to Sharptown.
The body was terribly cut. Nearby was
founda blood-stained razor and a black
jack.
Prosecutor D. v. Summerill, Jr., has
offered 800 reward for the capture of
fho mnr1orarC of asfbn, III. D.
ough Marshals have been working on
clues but have not located the culprits.
These men had worked at the powder
works only a short time. Some think
the motive for the murder was robbery.
1t has been learned that Lonis Terese,
DUPONT workmen number 1852, shot
Frank sapino. No clue to his where
abouts have been found.

Summoned to Trenton

The Mayor and Council aud Board OF
Health were summond before the State
Board Of Health in the State House at
Trenton last Tuesday. VIM. H Chew,
president of Salem, also Moses M. Baker,
Of Upper Montclair were absent on ac-
count of illness. The other members are
DIR. Henry Spence, Of jersey City; DR..
j. Oliver Mcdonald, Trenton; Clyd-
Potts, Morristown, DIR. E. A. Ayers,
Branceville.
Their inquiry was to what had been
done and what was the intention officials
towards improving sanitary conditions in
Penns Grove, and the feasibility of putting
in sewers to protect the large number OF
inhabitants. They were told that the
surface drain bitches had been cleaned, a
scavenger had done more in the past
three months than had been done in the
year previous that the large congestion OF
people was over and decreasing;t that good
health had prevailed, there was no lear
OF a contagious outbreak and that the
Council had ordered horses and carts
bought with which to do all necessary
work when others could not be employed
to do il, as had been the case during the
past year.
The State Board exhibited the best OF
benevolent advice and feeling towards
Penns Grove Board and dismissed them
before all the good health records OF the
Borough could be presented.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-04-21

Penns Grove is now free of contagious
diseases. The small number of mild
cases in the past year have not been such
as to create alarm nor tear, yet we all
wish to take every precantion to preserve
good health.
Whereas the State Board of Health
offers their council, advice and services
TO help preserve good health, the Mayor
and Council and Penns Grove Board OF
Health desires to cooperate for the inter-
est of all the citizens.
II their be any nuisances or causes OF
diseases it must be on some person or
somebody's property. Therefore we ask
all good citizens to read the Sanitary
Code published and judge for themselves
as to whether they are living by the rules
designed to prescribe for health preser-
walton. We ask the cooperation OF all
citizens to help keep Penns Grove
Borough not only in a healthy condition,
but help to make it more beautiful by
their personal effects OH their own pro.
perties which will save public expense.
We especially ask the cooperation OF
all t h g school teachers and Ill the
scholars in the school to observe where
something can be- lone to carry out our
ideals aud help in the cleanup work.
We proclaim the first two weeks in
May as cleanup weeks when we hope
every citizen will make a special effort to
help not only to cleanup, but to polish
PenDs Grove to have it most p~resentable
for summer visitors.

A GREAT SPRING DRIVE
PROCLAMATION CLEANUP GIVES new
INSPIRATION FOR HIGHER LIFE

Several years ago, soon as the flowers
began blooming in the spring, the New
York Health Department developed the
idea of a Civic Spring Cleaning. 1t was
all done according to up-to-date advertis-
ing methods. The principle of expectant
attention was worked for all it was
worth. Consequently this idea 'took
holt magniicently. For once it was
considerably more contagious than any
germ disease. Indeed a sanitary epidem-
ic developed that swept LITERALLY as well
as figuratively) throughout the five met
ropolitan boroughs.
Thousands of housewives got extra
ordinarily excited; they were all broke
out, not in a rash, but in a perspiration of
zeal. So much so that before the day set
by the authorities for the castaway stuff
to be collected, many started right in
throwing old washstands, ~bandboxes,
bundles, bedding and what not else
through the windows, into the streets, no
matter whose Uranium or what lady's
lovely Easter bonnet got in the way of
the missiles or the dust. Until the police
had actually to restrain the civic frenzy
for sanitary righteousness.
May uTSI, llIuc OuL VI mlh II
tons moving day, was set by the Health
Commissioner for the grimy ceremonies
to begin for the felicity to eventuate, as
they say in the colored minstrel shows.
The street cleaning and the water de
partments with other municipal bureaus,
co-operated superbly with the Health De
partment. 1t was the finest kind of team
work; and the enthusiasm was, like the
beautiful maid in the comic opera, a
cheering sight to see. The Commits
~sioner's hands were also held up by all
kinds of civic organizations-espeeially
women's clubs and leagues. The city
was divided into some 100 sections
dozen or so of which were to be covered
in one day. The housewife was coun-
selled to keep as cool as possible and to
restrain her epidemic symptoms; and was
notified ON what day, in each section, she
should be ready for the carriers:
All rubbish and dirt were removed
from cellars, yards, alleys, the environs
of houses, from fire escapes, roofs, va
cant lots, catch basins, and streets
which latter were then thoroughly flush.
ed. Offensive trade odors, nuisances
smoke and factory cinders were sought
to be minimized; flies were to bt
starved rather han swatted; the lying
in chambers of insects generally were tc
be abolished; rats and mice separated
from their provenders. Especially were
grocers, bakers, vegetable men, fruiters
butchers, fish dealers, c~onfectioners, no
tel and restaurant men to keep theil
places clean. and to screen and window
their wares.
