Denied Criminals Claim O
Drunkenness

Richard w. Harker, proprietor OF the
hotel at Pointville, appeared before
Judge Lippincott, on Saturday, to
make an explanation OF a story told at
a previous session of court by George
w. Meisel, mechanic employed at
the Wrightstown camp, who pleaded
guilty OF stealing chicken from Mr..
Harker. AT the time of his hearing.
Meisel said he was drunk when he
committed the crime, and that he had
become intoxicated at Harker's hotel.
Mr.. Harker denied Meise rs story in
every detail, stating that the man did
not play pool at the hotel that night,
as alleged; that he did not get drunk
there, and that he was not intoxicated
when caught with the stolen chicken.
On the night of the larceny, Meisel
got drink of water at the hotel pump
after the barroom had been closed, and
had short conversation with the
landlord, who was standing nearby.
Meisel was sober. The chicken steal
ing took place short time thereafter.
Mr.. Harker's statements relative to
the sobriety of Meisel were corroborated
by two police officers, one of whom
made the arrest. They said the man
showed no signs whatever of intoxica-
ton. They further stated that it is
the practice of men arrested in that
nelghborhood to claim drunkenness as
an excuse for the crime committed,
and thus endeaYor to shift response
bility to some hotel keeper.
Mr.. Harker stated that he has been
extraordinarily cautious in preventing
men from becoming intoxicated at his
hotel. He limits the.number of drinks
served to his customers, and since the
first of July has discontinued entirely
the selling by wholesale. He closes his
hotel not later than $50 every night,
even if the barroom is crowded at the |
time.
The explanation apparently was
satisfactory to Judge Lippincott, who |
allowed Mr.. Harker to depart without
comment except general caution that |
it is imperative for all hotel keepers to |
be extremely careful about obeying the |
excise laws.

Simplicity marked the marriage of
Lieutenant Newbold Hutchinson, son
of John P. Hutchinson, and Miss Mary
D. Shreve, daughter of w. A. Shreve,
which took place at the home of the
BRIDES parents on Farnsworth avenue,
this city,:Tuesdays evening at six
o'clock. Only near relatives and few
intimate friends witnessed the cere-
mony. The bride wore charming
white dress and was unattended. The
groom wore his military uniform.
Lieut.. Henry HI. Cross, of Mount Holly,
acted as best man. The Rev. Allan
Nettleman, pastor of the First Baptist
church of this city was the officiating
clergyman.
A wedding supper followed the cere-
mony, after which the young couple
left for honeymoon in the South.
Upon their return they will reside at
Petersburg, Va, where the groom has
been assigned as an instructor at the
big cantonment of the National Army.
Seven cases of typhoid fever, report
ed to the board of health within the
past two weeks, has created consider
able alarm here. The cause was traced
to an employee on dairy farm, who is
carrier of the disease germ. This
same man caused an epidemic at
Cranbury about five years ago, result.
ing in five deaths. The State Board Of
Health has endeavored to keep tab on
him since the Cranbury outbreak, blu
he left New Jersey later and then was
lost sight of until the present trouble
occurred.

SuffragiStS to Guard Soldiers
Morals,

At Atlantic City, on Friday, the
twenty thousand New Jersey suffragists
were enlisted in the fight of banishing
vice in the neighborhood of Camp Dix,
at Wrightstown, after the conscripted
soldiers arrive there. The executive
board of the State Suffrage Association,
in session in that city, last week,
pledged the organization to the work
above mentioned, and also agreed to
provide a suitable recreation centre for
the troops in the camp.
This action followed an appeal for
cooperation from the suffrage forces
by Douglas Falconer, representative
of the War Department at Camp Dix.
Mr.. Falconer told Of the great work
already being done by the Y. NJ. C. A.
and the Y. w. G. A. to supply legiti-
mate amusement and diversion for
soldiers, but said the assembling of
10000 soldiers in Jersey would call for
concerted action upon the part of all
the helpful influences which can be
brought to bear.
The executive board appointed
committee, comprising Mrs. L. F.
Feichert, Mrs. f. HI. Colvin, Mrs. Ward
d. Kerhn, Mrs. Robert S. Huse, Mrs.
John ]. White, Miss. Lulu H. Marvel,
Miss Helen Lippincott, Mrs. Arthur
Hunter, Miss Anita Stillman, Mrs.
b. @. Blaisdell, Mrs. Edward Olmsted,
Mrs. Henry c. White, Mrs. Andrew J.
Steelman, Mrs. A. D. Brearley, Miss
Kathryne Sminck and Mrs. Joseph
Larocque, to investigate Wrightstown
and make all arrangements
for a suitable recreation center to be
maintained by the organized suffragists
Of the state.

camp zone is under continued surveiI-

lance.
1--WE intend to see that the food stu
alton, as it affects visitors and even
the men in the camp, who may pur-
chase stuff from the vendors, is under
complete control we'll in advance of the
opening of the camp" said DR.. D. c..
Bowen, State Chief Director of Local
Health Boards, in addressing the con-
ference. mot only must the food be
pure and clean, but we intend that
every person handling food or other
commodities that may carry disease
germs is under medical inspection. No
persons should be employed in these
places unless he or she can present a
clean bill of health. We are planning
70 use every preventive measure
known TO modern science to safeguard
visitors and to prevent any disease out
break near the camp.
IF community attempts to thwart
the work OF its local and state health
authorities. it will face the unpleasant
alternative of having the war depart
ment step in and take charge. .
while working to prevent disease
we shall be ready to handle epidemics
in efficient manner if they come. New
Jersey will uphold its part of the con-
tract of keeping the camp vicinity
healthy"
The health survey will require about
week. 1t will cover every feature af-
fecting the health of the camp, the
immediate vicinity and even those 10.
calities indirectly interested. The
camp is lone of the important water
sheds with tributaries of streams that
supply water for several towns and
which finally reach the Delaware. Pre-
venting pollution of these streams is a
big part of the states health work.
