Daniels Says Newport's Evil
Resorts Menace Navy Recruits
Secretary Asks Governor of Rhode Island Protect Young
Men in IT, S. Service from immortality
Conditions Normal Beeckmans Reply

Washington, June 20.-Secretary
Daniels complained to-day to Governor
Beeckman Of Rhode Island about moral
conditions surrounding the naval re-
cruits at Newport.
81 feel confident" he said, that the
Governor will appreciate the vital I'M
portsnce of the matter and will take
such steps as will make unnecessary
any further steps by the government
Of the United States
Governor Beeckman replied:
Conditions are perfectly normal
when it is understood that 1900 boys
are turned loose into the city with no
place to sleep or no place to 60"
The Secretary announced his protest
in this statement:
81 have just sent to the Governor OF
Rhode Island a list in detail of some
Of the most notorious houses of pros
titution and open gambling houses In
Newport, also calling his attention to
the extent and methods Of illegal sale
of LIQUOR to sailors and naval reserve
recruits and informing him that the
department Is ready to furnish HIM
with. further specific evidence II the
states own officers do not produce it.
Duty to Protect Young Men
at Newport and other places are
gathered several thousand Of the finest
youth of the land, who have offered
Il of
country a. a time when this sacrifice
is no figure of speech. Most OF them
have come from carefully guarded
homes and their parents have given
them to their country in sacred trust
that the government will safeguard
them from unnecessary perils.
81 am charged with the duty of train
ing these young men for service in the
navy. State and local officers are
charged with the duty of seeing that
the laws Of their states and OF the
United States are safely executed.
There lies upon us morally TO degrees
far outreaching any technical response
bility, the duty of leaving nothing UNI
done to protect these young men from
which will not only impair their mill
tluNicHNy JUL litil ll'to w
the future and return them TO their
homes a source of danger to their fam
lilies and TO the community at large.
Those dangers are bad enough in
ordinary times. In time Of war, when
great bodies Of men are necessarily
gathered together away from the re-
straints of home and under the stress
Of emotions whose reactions inevitably
tend TO dislodge the standards of nor
nal life, they are multiplied many fold,
and the harpies of the underworld flock
to make profit out of the opportunity.
If we fail in vigilance under these con-
ditions. the mothers and fathers Of
these lads, the country generally, will
rightly hold US responsible.
81 feel confident that the Governor
Of Rhode Island and the local officers
responsible TO him, and the civil au-

Order to Abandon

Initial Cost of 100000 for
Barracks Wasted by
Removal

From stan Correspondent: o, Tie rrbunel
Plattsburg, N. Y, June 20.-lf army
officers here could speak openly-and
they gre not allowed to-they would
score the order Of the War Department
to abandon the Plattsburg camp when
the present class is graduated.
Certain il Is that no one in any way
connected with the camp can see the
wisdom of this move
In the first place it is pointed out
that the cost of establishing the camp
here has exceeded half a million dol
lars. Should future camps be estsb-
lshed at Southern points this initial
expense would again have to be met in
each case. Second in importance is the
expenditure Of time and energy re-
CURED TO get a boom town of this kind
in smooth working order.
Lieutenant Colonel Paul A. Wolf has
evolved order out of chaos here, and Is
Justly proud of the result. II is unfair
to men of his type to require them at
a time like this to do this ground work

Governors Reply
The reioinder of Governor Beeckman
was addressed, not 70 the Secretary OF
the Navy, but 10 the public through the
newspapers:
"The allegations that the naval re-
cruits are exposed TO immoral resorts,
gambling houses and illegal liquor sell
ing are absolutely ridiculous. Condl-
tons are perfectly normal, when 1t Is
understood that $500 boys are turned
loose into the city with no place to
sleep or no place TO go. | have talked
with the Mayor, and he assures me
that nothing Is being carried on IN
Newport that should not be allowed.
Franklin Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy, will be my guest
at Newport tomorrow, and he VIII
make an investigation Of the premises
himself"
The statement made by Secretary
Daniels followed a preliminary com
plant 70 the Mayor of Newport that
the sailors were exposed to the temp
tations Of gambling houses, bootleg.
gers and other resorts. The Mayor had
replied that there was no unusual de-
gree of immortality" in Newport. There
upon the department instituted sepa-
rate investigation. In response to a
crusade begun by prominent Newport
women who insisted that the morals or
the sailors were not properly SAFE
guarded, Assistant Secretary Roose-
velt's secretary. L. H. Howe, went to
Newport TO investigate. His report has
not been made public.
Mayor Burdick's Views
The sentiments Of Mayor Clark Bur
dick were expressed at length in let
ter 10 "The Reservist," q newspaper
published by the men at the training
station. The Mayor wrote:
"You realize that the sudden descent
upon us of thousands of young men
composing the regular and reserve
forces Of the navy just as We were
awakening from our winters sleep, pre-.
sented many new problems to a city OF
our size, whose previous vocation has
been catering TO summer vacationists.
That we have met these problems as
well as we have is in large measure
due 70 the conduct and character of the
young men of both branches, for whom
our people have nothing but the highest
praise.
when we consider the fact that
from necessity these reservists are
scattered all over the city IA fact not
conducive TO strict disciplined the little
trouble caused by the boys is strong
testimony TO their good character and
to their earnestness and devotion TO the
cause in which they are enlisted"

Jobstown Hotel Burned.

The hotel at Jobstown was burned to
the ground yesterday morning. The
fire started about half-past twelve and
assistance was sent from Mount Holly
and Columbus, America chemical en-
CINE going from here at ten minutes
before one o'clock. When it arrived at
Jobstown the hotel was mass OF
flames but the engines did good work
in protecting neighboring property.
The sheds and ice house were saved,
but the hotel was burned to the ground.
The property was owned by William
n. Salmon, who had acquired possess
ion within the last year. The family
was away from home on Sunday and
there was but one occupant of the
house, the man who was left in charge
of the property.
He was awakened by the smell OF
smoke and discovered that the place
was on fire. The flames had made
such Roadway that the man was forced
to escape from second story window.
His only explanation of how the fire
occurred was that lamp must have
exploded. The hotel was insured for

very old. Atone time it was owned
by. Joseph r. Evans, and during 1.-THE
days that the Lorillard farm was at its
best, did thriving business. At the
death of Joseph r. Evans. his son
took possession and then it became the
property of Leander Murphy, who
married Joseph r. Evans daughter.
In 1914 John Dubell bought the hotel
and sold it to the present owner some
time during the last year.

Price of Tomatoes.

On Wednesday evening the growers
of tomatoes held a meeting in the
court house to discuss the price they
were to get for their products this sea
son. Twelve dollars a ton seemed tC
be the sum they agreed was about
right. Conferences have been held be-
tween growers representatives and the
Gamers and the result was that price:
took a jump. The Chance factory
raised from $40 to $11.50 per ton, and
the Campbell factory announced thai
grade A would be paid for at $3.50 pei
ton, and grade b would bring S11, but
the growers have determined not to dc
anything until after the 25th of this
month.
A letter from the secretary of a Mary,
land Association showed that growers
in that section are demanding SIS pei
ton and are not in a mood to accept
$3.50 offered by the Gamers.
Wilbert H. Engle, Walter Kirkbride
and Joseph E. Roberts were appointed
q committee to confer with the Ritter
canning factory in Philadelphia and
discuss the Burlington county situa-
ton, explain tnat many acres are
available and to ascertain whether the
conditions do not warrant the price OF
$12 per ton. Another committee was
appointed to canvass the county and
talk with the growers with the idea of
forming tomato growers association,
and thus be on an equal plane in the
fixing Of prices. There will be another
meeting on Thursday evening when
these two committees will report and
other business of importance will be
transacted.

Random Remarks.

THE News is always glad to hear of
any one advancing but especially SO
when the fortunate man is a former
resident of the county and a personal
friend. James Logan, who has been
with the Newark NesOs for long time,
has acquired an interest in the<Newark
Sunday Call, one of the most influen-
tial newspapers in the state. Mr..
Logan has had long experience in the
newspaper business and he will un-
doubleday be an addition OF great value
to the staff ofFhe Call. There was a
time when the papers of Trenton were
considered the state authorities but
Newark has long since pricked that
bubble and the newspapers of the
latter city far outstrip those of the
capital city. Mr.. Logan's experience
and untiring efforts to do his work
thoroughly have had their effect on
the department of the Nea0s that was
under his supervision and the same
characteristics will undoubtedly make
an impression in his new field.

Game League Meets

The annual meeting of the Burling
ton County Game Protective League
was held at the court house on Satur.
day afternoon.
1t was reported that this years allot.
ment of rabbits from the state is 300
OF this number 124 have been received
and distributed by Game Warden Nor.
| ton. The balance will come later.
The League has made arrangements
to purchase additional rabbits from a
man in Indiana at so cents pair.
Fifty or more pairs will be bought, to
be delivered the latter part of Februa-
ry.
Resolutions were adopted upon the
death of Joseph Huff, treasurer of the
league.
The following officers were elected:
President, w. r. Trowbridge; vice
president, Henry L. Worrell; secretary,
l.. Ct. Mingin; treasurer, H. L.Walters;
trustees, Richard Lamb, Walter T.
Cox, Edward M. Warrick, Frank Ridg-
way, and Z. B. Jordan.
The legislation desired by the league
is as follows:
Making the same dates for open sea-
son for pike and bass.
Permitting killing of both sexes of
pheasants.
Open season for foxes.
Removing all protection from rae
coons.
Permitting running of hound dogs
from September TO March /.
There was considerable discussion
about recommending legislation on
deer, but it was decided. not to take
any action ON this subject. The
league is opposed to any protection for
deer, ard would like to see them exter-
minated. The presence of deer pre-
vents the hunting of foxes, as dogs
will not keep on the scent of a fox
when the CANNES come to deer trail,
but will follow the latter. Foxes are
Increasing rapidly and are destroying
small game to considerable extent.
A motion was passed providing, for
the appointment of a committee OF
three to pay regular visits to the state
game farm at Forked River and to re.
port to the league from time to time
what work is being done there.
A motion was passed providing that
the league exerts its influence to have
located in this county the $50, 900 fish
hatchery which the U. s. government
is to erect along the Delaware river.
