Cape May County Courts On Tuesday
was marked with more than ordinary
interest. The Court officials, lawyers,
litigants and interested spectators were
present in such numbers that there was
not seating room enough. Supreme
Court Justice Charles g. Black presided
and soon settled all speculation as to
whoth the prosecutor would be by naming
James Russell Carrow to serve for the
term. There was intense interest in
this appointment by reason Of the re-
fusal of the State Senators to confirm
Mr.. Carrow when his name was sent
to the Senate by Governor Fielder last
January. Because Of lack ofcontirma a.
ton Mr.. Carrow ceased to be prosecu-
tor the moment the legislature adjourn
ed on March 20, 1915. Mr.. Carrow was
first ACCOMPLISHMENTS with the dis
tinct understanding from high state
officials that he vas to clean up Wild
wood. He was true to his trust and
things commenced to happen as soon
as he took office. He went after the
law breakers aud showed a diligence
and courage that was remarkable and
being backed up by a courageous judge
he got results. But because MI. Car
row was a Democrat a Cape May
County Republican Senator refused to
consent to his confirmation. After
naming the prosecutor Judge Black
called the Grand Jury and charged
that body. In addition to the usual
charge to that body he called their
attention to a petition that had been
presented to him signed by SO citizens
asking to have the action of the County
Board Of Freeholders investigated as to
the awarding of contracts for building
the bridges on the Holly Beach and
Sea Isle roads. The Grand Jury vas
told to make a thorough investigation.
After Judge Black had retired County
Judge Eldredge took up the license
matters first sounding a warning from
the bench to those who might be in
clined to violate the law. He said that
when he was first appointed Judge
that he administered minimum fines,
and then gradually increased them.
Speaking further the Judge said that
he had heard rumors of the liquor laws
being violated just recently. He said
he was determined that the excise laws
of the state of New Jersey should be
respected in Cape May County, and
that hereafter violators would be given
a state prison sentence or the license
refused. Judge Eldredge then granted
