Workman Burned to Death

His body turned into a flaming torch
when a can Of gasoline exploded on
him as he was lighting bonfire al
Camp Dix, Phillip Travello, of Rich.
land, N. j., was SO badly burned that
he passed away on Thursday afternoon
in the Burlington County Hospital.
Travello was an assistant engineer
on concrete mixer and started the
lire to keep warm. The pieces of tim
Der he used were damp. from the rain
OF Tuesday and he took the can OF gas
oline to make them burn more quickly.
AS he poured out part of the fluid the
flames shot up and the contents of the
can spattered on his clothing.
With a scream of terror and in the
vain hope of escaping from the agony
he was suffering as the blaze wrapped
around him, Travello ran wildly across
the fields. Other workingmen started
after him to extinguish the blaze but,
fleet of foot, he outdistanced them un-
til he tripped and fell.
Before they could render aid his
clothing had been burned off and his
face and head had been badly dis
figured. Doctors at the Irwin &
Leighton field hospital relived his pain
by drugs and he was then brought to
Monnt Holly, where he died few
hours later.
TraYello is survived by wife and
four children.

WrightStOWn

One has only to visit the First Ma
tional Bank of Wrightstown to see the
wonderful change that has come over
the town. Opened only three weeks
ago the deposits are well over 5000. 600.
This place lost one of it's oldest resi-
dents on Tuesday evening when Mrs.
Martha Plat, so years old, died after a
short illness. She moved to the town
last spring after residing all her life on
nearby farm.
John Rutan, of Bristol, had his leg
injured when he was run down by a
Ford car while he was crossing the
street in front of the postoffice. His
injuries were treated at the Wrights-
town pharmacy.
Business men here hope to form a
trade organization. The town has de-
veloped SO quickly that it has been al
most impossible to prevent lot of H.
legitimate trading, and for this reason
the men who are doing business here
hope to effect speedy organization.
Chris Koch, manager Of the Rexall
store, and number OF others are be.
hind the proposition. 1t is likely that
committees on bylaws and to select
name for the new body will be named
at once and that meetings will be held
two or three times month.
After serving the wants Of the resi-
dents Of this place for over Is years the
Wrightstown Water, Electric and
Sewer Company is about to pass out of
existence as arrangements for taking
over the large water tank and small
pipe line are being completed by the
Wrightstown Utilities Corporation,
which was recently organized to pro-
vide for the wants Of a growing town.
The old company also controlled the
fire department and the small fire
house on the PointvilIe Road. These,
too, will soon be doomed and the little
truck with hose will likely give way to
a bigger engine and larger company
Of volunteer fire fighters.
The Soldiers Club House is now
open under the direction OF the New
Jersey Women's Suffrage Association,
although the formal opening will not
be held until November II when the
delegates to the convention to be held
in Trenton will make trip here and q
set program Of exercises held. The
furniture has been installed and the
rooms look very attractive. Great
plans will be made to make the soldier
boys feel at home and canteen will
be opened at the end of the month as
soon as a house manager is selected.
Mrs. E. F. Feickert, state president of
the association, is in charge of the
building at present and is being as
sisted by committee of women from
the various organizations.

Burlington

Visiting soldiers, 1t is said, have had
no difficulty in getting liquor in this
city. A considerable number of them
have become intoxicated here. Stirred
by these conditions, the newly organ
lied Burlington Service Association
has requested Mayor E. E. Mount to
see that laws and ordinances respecting
the sale of intoxicants be more rigidly
enforced. The city excise commission,
of which George A. Atkinson is presi.
dent, has also been requested to take
action in regulating local saloons SINH
lar to the conditions imposed by Judge
Lippincott upon county saloons Ii
censed directly by the court, prohibit
ing the sale OF bottled goods.

BordentoWn.

Miss Mae Gaskill, of Union street, is
entertaining Miss Wilhelmina Oil
plant, formerly Of this place, and Miss
Clara Tantum, of New Egypt.
William H. Williams, a we'll known
local barber, and Mrs. Lulu Harris, of
New York, were married on Thursday
evening, at the home of MIR. Williams,
on Burlington street, by the Rev.
Joseph H. Morgan, Of Bridgeton. A
reception followed the ceremony.
Mrs. Mabel Durand has returned to
Collingswood after visit to friends
here.
Thomas Barstow has removed with
his family to Philadelphia, where he Is
employed at the arsenal.
Mrs. Thomas J. Rattigan has gone
to Lakew God for two weeks soiourn.
While crossing the street near her
home in Bordentown, Saturday, Eliza
/ beth, the 8-year-old daughter of State
Senator and Mrs. Harold B. Wells,
was run down by an automobile, but
escaped serious injury.
The executive committee of the So
cial Welfare Committee has been sue
cessful in its campaign for funds for
the establishment of a community
house in this city for the accommo-
dation of the soldiers from Camp
Dix.H Nearly $1,000 was collected in
the house-to-house canvass and esti-
mates are now being submitted for the
necessary repairs and alterations of
the old brick church on Church street,
which has been rendered by the trus-
tees of Trinity M. E. church without
compensation, for this purpose.
On account of the exorbitant
charges made by number of jitney
drivers running between this city and
Camp Dix, the local authorities have
ibeen requested to establish a uniform
rate for all motor vehicles running
between here and Wrightstown. Many
people came to Bordentown by train
and trolley expecting to take a jitney
for the camp, and find that the driv-
ers are asking more than is charged
from Trenton to the cantonment. The
authorities are also determined thai
. the automobile laws shall be observed
and speed maniacs will be arrested
and fined, while those with dazzling
headlights will also be prosecuted.

A Poet in C,amn

One OF the members of Co. H., Hath
Infantry, at Camp Mcclellan, Annis-
tom, Alabama, having a few spare
moments On hand thought he would
see what he could do in the poetry line
Here is the result OF his efforts:
GIVE THE SOLDIER HIS DUE
We give you our service, you shut off
our beer,
But the Stacker may drink It'll it runs
from his ear.
We quit our jobs to keep you from
harm;
But the Stacker goes by with a girl on
his arm.
And he laughs at the soldier; unlucly
cuss;
Girls go with the slacker-why criti-
else us?
The Stacker rides round in Ford Of
his own;
And charges quarter to haul us to
town.
We're doing our duty-his makeup's
not white;
While we must be home at ten each
night.
But he sticks around az long as he
cares,
And laughs at the soldier whenever he
dares.
Discipline, we know, ia thing that
| must be,
But, honest to goodness, we quite fail
| to see
Why the soldier must drink only watel
and pop,
While the drink of the Stacker seems
never to stop.
If the soldier can dance it seems rathe
hard
That to all decent dances the soldier Il
barred.
We've shouldered our rifles and taken
our place;
And we'll go to our death with smil
on our face,
With this, our honest appeal unto
you
Until we cross over please give us our
due.

Failed In Promise

There was merry time for q short
period, Wednesday afternoon, on the
line Of the trolley road between Mer-
chantvilIs and Moorestown and it was
quite a while before matters were
Strengthened out anywhere near salts
factorily.
An asphalt road is being built in the
section mentioned. The tracks Of the
Public Service Corporation are not at
grade and the corporation had been
notified to fix them. Each time there
would come promise to put men at
work to meet the requirements of the
county and each promise was ignored.
This had been going on since early in
the spring. Finding that the trolley
people did not seem to intend to live
up to their promises and the work hav-
ing reached that stage when it was
necessary that something must be
done, solicitor Davis instructed en-
ginesr Logan and the contractor to
take matters into their own hands and
proceed with their own work as they
found it necessary to conform to the
grade.
Consequently, on Wednesday, a
point in the road had been reached
where some digging and shoveling
were necessary. Mr.. Logan instructed
the workmen to throw the dirt any
where, on the trolley track If necessary.
This order was carried out and the re-
suit was that when a car from Camden
came up it found the track in such
shape that it could not proceed. In
attempting to go backward it was dis
covered that dirt had been thrown in
that place and the car was completely
blocked. A car from Moorestown soon
found itself in the same shape and
travel was tied up for some time.
One of the trolley men telephoned
to Camden and gang Of workmen
was sent out. The dirt was soon re-
moved and thrown out on the county
road. Then Engineer Logan took an
other step and had the Public Service
roadmaster and his two foremen ar
rested. They we're taken before Squire
Petit in Moorestown, but before they
arrived at that officials Office some
body had telephoned the Squire and
he was in readiness to hear the case.
After listening to both sides he came
to the conclusion that he had nothing
to do with the matter and the men
were discharged.
What the next step will be is to be
seen. The trolley people have again
renewed their oft-repeated promise, but
on Saturday they had about 30 men
at work when they should have had
100. The matter may be brought to
the attention Of the grand jury, or a
mandamus may be issued to compel
the trolley company to proceed Sc that
public Improvements shall not be held
up. The residents and officials of
Chester township are very indignant
over the way the entire matter has
been treated by the corporation. 1t is
said the ordinance under which the
latter is operating its road in Chester
is still operative and repeater is pos
sible. 1t certainly il too bad that any
body should be allowed to interfere
with public improvements.

The suit for damages against the
Manhassett Hotel Company, Seaside
fPark, was concluded on Tuesday be
fore Judge Carlow, when the jury
awarded $500 to William B. Goddard
and $4OO to Mrs. Goddard, both resi-
dents of Philadelphia.
While boarding at the hotel in 1916,
Mrs. Goddard was injured in an eleVa-
tor at the hotel. The elevator was
stopped below the floor level, and when
the lady stepped in she fell and was
injured.
The suit of Dorothy E. Hauser
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company was heard on Wednesday
and Thursday. This was an action to
recover damages for the death Of plain
tiff's husband, Carl C. Hauser, form
er employee OF the company.
While brakeman of freight train,
and while sitting on top OF a car, he was
swept off by coming in contact with a
low bridge at Cranbury. 1t was
shown at the trial that the telltale
ropes to warn crews of the proximity
OF the bridge were too high to be effec-
tive.
James Mercer Davis represented the
plaintiff; Gaskill & Gaskill appeared
for the railroad company.
After an all-night session, the jury
returned verdict for $13,5OO
In Judge Lippincott's court, on
Thursday, Earl H. Summers, colored,
charged with stealing a watch and
finger ring from Robert ]. Keefe, was
discharged on motion of Prosecutor
Kelsey, who said there was noevidence
to connect the man with the crime.
Judge Carlow has granted rules 10
show cause why new trials should not
be granted in the suits of William B.
Goddard and wife, who obtained YER
diets against H. Ross Turner, for in
iuries received at the Manhasset hotel,
Seaside Park. The rules were granted
on the application of Gaslxill & Gas
kill, lawyers for the plaintiffs, the
claim being that the verdict of 81, 600
was not enough in view of testimony.
Gaskill & Gaskill will appeal the
verdict rendered in favor of Mrs. Doro-
thy E. Hauser, for $1S, 500 for the death
of her husband, who was killed while
at work for the Pennsylvania railroad
company. The appeal in this case is
different from that in the Goddard
suit, as in this instance it is claimed
the verdict was excessive.

Pulled One Over on Soldier
/ VISITORS

Two soldiers belonging to Company
H, 311th Infantry, Camp Dix, wer,
tickled pink with the big hit they
made with masked girl on the Wash
ington street bridge on Wednesday
night. The girl, voluptuously attired
was celebrating Halloween with a
number of companions, and was Out
for a good time.
The soldiers followed her to the
bridge. One of them Rugged the lady
in an enthusiastic manner; the other
administered one OF those lingering
soul kisses that are popular nowadays.
Her ruby lips, plainly discernible be-
low the mask, were alluringly inviting
and attractive. Her decollets gown add
ed zest to the proceedings. She look
ed good to the soldiers.
After the love scene had been COM
pleted, the two men joined their COM
panions, and decided that they would
visit Mount Holly every Wednesday
night.
It's shame to tell the secret, but
the dam-sel was man attired In fe
male costume.

War Against Schemers

That every effort is being made by
crooks and confidence operators to
work on the sympathies of the peo-
pie in order to fleece them out of
money by leading them to believe
they are contributing to war chart
ties, was learned from Chief Postal
Inspector Cortelyou. According to
Chief Cortelyou, every possible kind
of crooked scheme is being attempt
ed and the people are generously re-
spending, with the result that they
are maintaining numberless schemers.
In issuing this announcement Chief
Cortelyou admonished the public to be
extremely cautious about making
contributions and to demand creden-
tials from collectors of any sort to
prove they are authorized to collect
such funds. Some of these takers are
asking for money, claiming they are
representatives of a tobacco fund,
which is seeking money to purchase
smokes for the troops. Others claim
to be representing various Christmas
associations to send presents to every
man in uniform. Still others are
working on the plea that they repre-
sent various hospitals and are collect
ing for field and base hospitals. Not
only men, but women also, are engage
ed and using every conceivable kind
of graft.
Some of the grafters are even go
ing to the extent Of posing as Govern
ment agents and officials. Many COM
plants have come into the postal in
spectors, but Investigations have not
yet shown any effort to use the mails
to defraud, although these are being
constantly watched. The public is
willing and anxious to do something
and are proving an easy prey. Chief
Cortelyou asks the public to keep him
informed Of any requests for funds
made through the mails from other
than authorized bodies. If there is
any doubt he asks that the matter be
referred to him for investigation.

Road Should Be COMPLETED


The Mount Holly Business Men s
Association has called the attention OF
the state authorities to the necessity OF
improving at once the link Of road to
Camp Dix from the end of the concrete
road now being built from Pemberton.
The distance is about three miles. In
winter there are times when that road
is impossible. There have been occas-
ions when the road has been roped of
to warn travellers not to attempt to pass
over it,
There is much travel between Camp
Dix and Philadelphia, principally by
motor trucks carrying supplies, build
ing material, garbage, etc: 1t is i'm
portant that the small piece OF road
above mentioned should be built to &C.
commodate this business traffic. The
railroads are overtaxed and cannot de-
liver freight on time, so some of it is
hauled to the camp on trucks.
The state is building a road from
Wrightstown to Georgetown, to COM
plete the road to Trenton, but it seems
to care nothing about the heavy traffic
from Philadelphia and Camden to the
camp.
