den disappearance Of Davis 15-year-old

his father, while two other boys
have been with their mother at Glen
olden, Pa. Joseph left home Sunday
afternoon in his motorboat and ran
several times up and down Oakford
Lake, Finally he anchored at Harker' S
Grove, where company OF people
with whom he was acquainted were
picknicking. They invited Joe to join
them at lunch, but he declined. Later
he left the grove in company with one
of the young men for ride in his
boat. That was the last seen Of him
and the boat was later found along the
lake.
Mr.. Davis first thought was OF
drowning, although Joe is an excellent
swimmer. Yesterday morning how.

by business man stating that
Joe had been seen in Glenolden.
In her suit Mrs. Davis charges cruel
ty and infidelity and asks the custody

Florence

Neil Lapierre, while painting the
side of the new foundry, at Florence,
fell distance of 30 feet when a hook
that was holding his ladder slipped.
A bundle of wire broke his fall and
probably saved him from instant death.
He was removed to the home of his
sister, where it was found that his
back is paralyzed and he is suffering
other injuries. The companys physi-
clan, DR.. Baird, sent him toa hos
pital.
Deserted several times within a year
and half since she married Edward
Foley, Mrs. Foley and her baby were
found by the township authorities to
be in starving condition. 1t was
learned that Foley had deserted them
three times in the four months they
have been living in this vicinity. The
township officials have decided to send
the woman and her child to the home
of relatives in New York City.
When Company M left Burlington
for Sea Girt, on Wednesday, three
Florence boys informed Capt. Stone
that they would like to enlist and go
with the company to Sea Girt. Their
offer was accepted. The young men,
after arriving at the camp, changed
their minds and returned home. The
next day an officer came here and no.
titled the trio to go to Sea Girt at once
or be arrested as deserters. They went
without delay.
In some unaccountable way report
was circulated that Claude Thompson,
son of Mrs. Philip Baynes, of Florence,
and member of Company M, N. ].
Infantry, was so badly injured by an
automobile at Camden that he died.
Thompson dispelled all fears and turn
ed the tears of his mother into smiles
when he appeared in town last week
to make active preparations to leave
with his company for Sea Girt. The
only plausible explanation to the re-
port is given by Thompson, who is
also known as Baynes, that Jose phi
Hines, of the River Road, was run
down at Camden last Saturday. In
the young mans pocket was letter
with the address of Philip Baynes.
The authorities at Camden prssuming
the unfortunate victim was Baynes
phoned to his boarding house to hear
that he was at home and well. His
friends knowing that he had gone to
Camden on visit took it for granted
that 1T was Thompson or Baynes
Later Hines recovered sufficiently tC
tell his identity.

Northampton's Appropriations

noon at Mount hOIy.
Northampton's Appropriations
Acting under new law passed by
the last Legislature the township COM
mittee of Northampton called a meet.
ing of taxpayers Thursday night, at
America fire house, to give expression
as to the amount to be appropriated
for township expenses next year. In
addition to the members OF the COM
mittee there were nine persons present
and one or two of them were interested
in seeing that their own especial de-
partments were not neglected. The
notice given that this meeting was to
be held was very meagre but even if it
had been spread broadcast it is ques-
ton whether any more interest would
have been shown. The advertisement
of the meeting and the amount to be
voted for was put in one newspaper
and little slips with the same informa-
ton were posted on few electric light
poles.
Those who were on hand did not
seem to care whether the committee
one thousand or one
hundred thousand dollars and those
who did not attend will probably give
voice to their objections until election
day and then go and vote the ticket
Just as it is made up. The amount
will be $3.50 more than is being used
the present year. This will include
300 for the lifeguard at the milldam.
1t was found that there was not any
law which allowed an appropriation for
that purpose so it was tackled on to the
police appropriation and the lifeguard
will be made special officer. There
we're reductions in several of the items
put the 800 spoken of and two extra
ppropriations-$500 each to the incl !
iental fund and the public safety COM
the totals up.
DIR. E. D. Prickitt suggested that it
would be a good idea for the town to
,wn q small auto truck for use in road |
.epair work and for cleaning up when |
not otherwise engaged. This was not
new idea asst had been considered by |
the committee for some time but it
vas decided that this year is not |
rood time to take any specific action |
IN the matter.

lsked to vote for and what they voted |
