Hotel Bars TO be Closed

Hotels located within two miles of
the boundaries of Camp Dix, Wrights-
town, are to have their bars closed by
the war department. The date of clos
ing has not yet been made known.
! The act under which this action is to
be taken gives authority to close bars
within five miles of military reserva-
ton, but it appears that the depart
ment has fixed radius OF two miles
for the Wrightstown cantonment.
The regulations are to be established
and enforced by the department of
justice at Trenton. Prosecutions will
follow continuance of the liquor trait
nc after the date has been fixed to stop
1t, and every hotelkeeper will received
due notice and be given a chance to
get thoroughly acquainted with the
military order affecting the prescribed
territory.
Those affected by the order are
Brose E. Smith, Wrightstown; Rich
ard w. Harker, Pointville, or his sue
cessor, if the new owner OF the hotel re-
ceives license; Adam L. Spence and
William A. Harker, Cookstown; John
Davis, and the inn, Browns Mills;
Story r. Harker, Charles b. Harker
and H. Nj. Willitts, New Egypt.
The regulation that contains such
sweeping prohibition has a proyiso
that may allow William H. Hartman,
hotelkeeper at Pemberton, within two
miles OF Camp Dix, to escape the ban
and continue his business. The para
graph that permits him to continue
business provides, "That where the
existing limits of an incorporated city
or town are within five miles of a mill
tary camp, the prohibition upon the
sale, barter, gift, service, sending, ship
ment, transmission or transportation of
alcoholic liquors imposed by this regu-
lation shall not apply to any part of
the incorporated city or town distant
more than one-half mile from the
camp" Pemberton is incorporated as
a borough, which is included in the
city or town" class of incorporated
municipalities recognized by the Gov
eminent.

Business Men Hold Annual
Meeting.

AT the annual meeting OF the Mount
Holly Business Mems Association,
held on Tuesday night, it was decided
not to hold the annual hallowe' EN- cele-
bration this year, owing to opposition
that had arisen among organizations
and townspeople who felt that money
spent in this manner during war times
is wasteful and iniudicious.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Loren
20 l.. Sapp; vice president, DR.. Harold
E. Longsdorf; seeretary-treasurer, Her
bert s. Killie; executive committee,
Elwood H. Stokes, Morris K. Perrin
chief, T. Lacey Atkins, ]. Harry Halt,
Harry Hawkins, Jr., Charles LaTour,
Wilmer Chance, Philip s. Irons,
Abraham Saltzman, Charles Coles,
Alexander Dubell, Francis o. Durand.
Retiring president William Curtis
Wetherill expressed his appreciation Of
the good work accomplished by the as
ISOLATION during its three years OF ex-
istence, and said the outlook for the
future is that still greater results will
be obtained. He thanked the mem
bers for the cooperation given to him
during his incumbency of the presi-
dents chair.
The newly elected president, l.. L.
Sapp, said he hoped and knew that
this cooperation would continue dur
ing the coming year, as there is con-
siderable work for the association to do.
Secretary Killie renewed his pub
lished statement that there is a great
demand for quarters in Mount Holly
for the families of army officers now
arriving at Camp Dix. Some people
ready to furnish board or rent rooms
for sleeping quarters had reported theiI
accommodations at his Office, but there
must be more to meet the demands
and he felt sure that many others are
still to be heard from.
Richard Lamb, w. d. Marren anC
Edward T. McKenna were elected
members OF the association. This
makes total of eighty-nine persons
connected with the organization.

the American Federation of Musicians,
the difficulties which have existed with
the r. ID. Wood band, of Florence,
have been adjusted and they are now
members of that organization and are
in position to furnish music upon any

state, for it's musical ability, and
splendid equipment. and has become
one of the most prominent musical or
carnations of its kind in this section

Electrocuted Under Bridge


As the $50 trolley car approached the
Hainesport drawbridge, on Saturday
morning, smoke was noticed coming
from beneath that structure. Think
ing that the bridge might be on fire,
the trolley crew, Charles Shemeley and
Theodore Bozarth, made an investiga-
ton. They discovered that the smoke
was caused by the burning of the cloth
ing and body of an unknown man.
An investigation developed the fact
that the stranger had been electro
cuted. The superstition is that he
sought shelter under the bridge, on
account of downpour of rain, and
fell across or in some other manner
came in contact with two metal con-
duits which carry current across the
creek. These conduits had become
charged with electricity and caused his
death.
The body was brought to Perinchief's
morgue, Mount Holly
