VINELAND ELECTION

In Vlneland the campaign was made
more or less interesting by fight of
a so-called citizens committee head
ed by former Mayor Waldo F. Sawyer
and Howard Dolby against the regu-
lar Republican organization. The Or
ganlzation ticket was represented by
Mayor Benjamin Stevens, Wallace I.
Frost and Percy Richardson. Saw
yer, Bugbee and Nessic were the can
didates of the Sawyer-Dolby combi-
nation.
The result of the election was a
complete victory for the Republican
organization and the Steven admin
istration, Mayor Stevens, Richardson
and Frost being chosen by very sub
stantial majorities.

GETTING OUT
CANS BIG JOB
Sanitary Can Company Is
Rushing Work.
MANY ORDERS.
Tin Plate Situation Is Improving
But There Is a Scarcity
of Lumber.

With big crops planting and can
rers generally planning to make
large packs the coming season, the
matter of providing necessary cans
for the business is important
Pretty much all Of the cans used in
this section are made at the plant
here operated by the Sanitary Can
Company and controlled by the Am
erican Can Company.
The big plant on Bank Street is be-
ing operated at it's capacity and vast
quantities of cans are being made.
The tin plate situation is somewhat
improved, and recently considerable
plate has been shipped here for the
manufacture of cans.
One of the perplexing problems that
is to be met by the local management,
is the supply of cases for the cans,
and at the present time shipping is
very largely hindered by reason Of
the lack of cases in which to pack
cans.
The Sanitary Can Company secure
the box or case boards from the South
and large orders have long since been
placed. At this time there are some
Is or 20 cars loaded with the case
lumber, all cut in sizes, and these
cars are held up somewhere along
the road in freight congestion. 1t is
hoped that some of the consignment
will shortly get through and the
packing cases can be made up so that
shipments can promptly be made.
Some recent improvements have
been made to the Sanitary Company's
plant, including a big water tank up-
on the buildings.
William H. Souders, general mana
ger Of the Sanitary Company, said
this morning that the government au
thorities had appealed to the concern
to speed UP and make extraordinary
efforts to provide containers for
canned goods, and that in a very
short time arrangements would be
put forth to largely increase produc
ton, and employment would be given
to many more people.

MILLVILLE
BONE" DRY
Anti-Liquor Ordinance Is
Overwhelmingly Passed.
THE COMMISSION
Two Changes In Millvilie COM
mission -VineIand Re-elects
Mayor Stevens.

Millville and Vineland voters yester-
day went upon the firing line and de-
cided the hottest political battles
which have been waged in those two
live towns.
Both Millville and Vineland have
been under Commission government
for five years, and yesterday in each
town the election was on for Com
missioners for another five year term.
In Millville the battle was even
more intense by reason of the fact
that there wan a referendum vote up
on the ''bone dry ordinance recently
passed by the Commission. If this
ordinance is enforced liquor is prac-
tically banished from the town. Vets
and Drys have waged bitter cam
paign for and against the ordinance,
and the vote yesterday resulted in
giving the drys an Overwhelming vic
tory, the majority for the "bone dry"
ordinance being 44S.
All of the five members of the City
Commission in Millville were candi-
dates for reelection and two of them.
R. B. Corson and Fred Ware fell out
side of the breastworks. Three of the
Commission were reelected. They
were Mayor Thomas Whitaker, Pub
lie Safety Commissioner Lewis Kurtz
and Street Commissioner Walter
Kates. The successors elected to Cor
son and Ware were Wilbert J. Sim
norman and S. T. Bennett. This will
give an entire reorganization in the
Millville Commission.
There were 1900 votes registered in
the Millville campaign and more than
5000 votes were cast. The counting
of the votes was slow as the prefer
ential system of voting was used.

BOYS START
EARLY IN CRIME

On Thursday night of last week Off
Ger George Hamlyn saw two boys car
rying a bag which looked to him of
suspicious character He held up the
boys and made some Investigations.
which disclosed that the bag con-
tanned some live chickens.
He questioned the boys and one of
them said his mother had sent him
with her chickens to sell to get him
self some clothes; the boys said they
were going to sell the chickens to
Rosen, who kept butcher shop on
South Pearl Street, but they conclud-
ed to take the. chickens back home
and let the father bring them down in
the morning.
Investigation showed that at Ros-
ems where they proposed to sell the
chickens, they had given their names
as Ralph Shoemaker, living on the
Shiloh pike, and Ivan Opperman.
Instead of taking the chickens
home, as they said they would, it was
later learned they took them in the
yard of the Bridgeton Hotel, and hid
them, bag and all, under some piles
of tin, which had been taken from
1 the hotel roof, during the recent re-
pairs.
There was good sized hole in the
bag, and the fowls worked their way
out, and have been wandering about
South Laurel Street since.
Further investigation showed that
recent hen roosts In the Third Ward
had been robbed; among them were
the roosts of M. F. Appellate, Chas.
D. Carney, Henry H. Hummell and
John Higgins, the piano dealer.
The boys Opperman and "Shoemak-
err, who proved to be Ralph Gosa,
son of Frank Gosa, instead of Ralph
Shoemaker, were arrested and brought
before Justice Frank J. Lore yester-
day afternoon, where they were held
in 5000 bail each for a hearing on
May 18th, at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing
Some three weeks ago two fountain
pens were taken from the Pioneer Of
ice, and pocket knife. A day or
two elapsed between the disappear
ance of each article. The action of
the Opperman boy seemed to direct
suspicion to him and when taken in
hand by Justice Lore yesterday the
boy confessed to taking the articles,
and yesterday afternoon, in company
with an officer, the pens and knife
were returned to the Justices office
by the boy, and passed over to the
owner. The Opperman boy is in his
14th year and the Gosa boy is Is.
Later it was found that the Opper-
man lad had taken a $3.50 fishing reel
from John D. Fishers store and sold
it for 25 cents.
Two more boys connected with the
Juvenile chicken thieves were arrest
ed last night. They were Roland
Smith, of Oak Street and Joe Garvy,
one of the Bear Swamp" kids.
They both admitted their connec-
ton with the thievery. Joe Garvy
said all he did was to hold the bag
while the other boys put the poultry
in it. ~n|
They are all candidates for the
Juvenile Court. Justice Lore held
held them for hearing.
