Children Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
G a 8 7 Q RIA
Ocean County Courts

1
Judge Jeffrey, of the Ocean county
courts, had busy time, last week
One of the first things he did was to
call the attention of some of those who
had been candidates for office at the re-
cent primary election that they had
failed to file accounts of their expenses.
He said the law was strict on this
point. The court had the power to ex-
tend the time for this action and I'M
less the parties referred to acted at once
the attention of the grand jury would
have to be called to the matter.
Several sentences were imposed. A
Barnegat justice of the peace was be-
fore the court, having pleaded guilty
TO accepting fees from defendant in
an assault and battery case with the
intention Of having the complaint dis
missed. Sentence in this case was de-
ferred until later.
Edward Longstreet, of New Egypt.
was sentenced to fine of $4OO for SELL
ing ''Zizz," drink resembling beer
The prisoner was not sentenced to a
term in Jail, but was told he must re-
port to the probation officer every
month for ten years. The judge told
Longstreet he was lucky in not being
charged with the offence of homicide,
as the officer who drank 'Zizz" for
the purpose of securing evidence was
completely knocked out for several
days.
There had been a general rounding
liquor without license and sentences
were pronounced on many offenders.
Four walters at the Baldwin hotel,
Beach Haven, were fined $3.50 each.
Two of the men had to pay on two in
dictments, the sum total being $500.
\ clerk in the Lexington hotel, Lake.
wood, who sold liquor on Sunday, was
fined $3.50.
A peculiar circumstance was reveal
ed in the case Of Lazarus Constantinou
who conducted a restaurant at Lake
wood. The man was arrested, con-
victed and fined seven years ago for
selling liquor without license. The
defendant took out writ of error and
was released on bail, but he failed to
get decision in his favor. For some
reason the fine imposed was
overlooked and Constantinou has been
| going around ever since without being
apprenended. Last summer it was
discovered that liquor was again being
sold at the restaurant, two children
under the age of Is years serving it.
The wife of the man also served drinks
to crowd of good fellows" who turn
ed out to be detectives. An indict-
ment followed and on looking over the
records Judge Jeffrey discovered that
the fine in the first instance had
not been paid. The mans bondsman
Va' notified to produce Constantinou
but word was sent to the court that the
man refused to be given up. A bench
warrant was issued and after some
trouble constable landed the fellow in
jail. 1t happened that Constantinou,
! at the opening of the October term of
Monmouth county courts, had applied
for license to sell liquor at Sea Girt.
AS he was in Jail and the hearing on
his application was to be on Thursday,
matters were becoming uncomfortable,
so on Wednesday the wife of the man
went to the Jail and paid the fine
which amounted to $3.50.

Gerald Shemelia is nursing wound
ed hand. He vas shaving ice and the
instrument he was using slipped and
went through his right hand, requiring
four stitches to be taken.
Frank Yansic, while playing ball,
was struck in the side by pitched ball
and when he was taken to a doctors
office it was found two ribs had been
badly cracked.
After conducting bakery business
for over 26 years, Andrew Richter
closed his place last week. The high
price of flour. inability to get help and
other circumstances induced Mr.. Rich
ter to relinquish his business.
The new Three and One pumping
machine for the Riverside Fire Com
pany was shipped from the factory at
Columbus, Ohio, on October. 9Th, and

November LIST. 1t will be tested out

Board of Fire Underwriters before be-
ing accepted by the local company.
The Burlington County Firemen's
Association will hold their monthly
meeting at the local fire house on to-
morrow evening.
The town was somewhat stirred up,
last week, when David Stern, one of
the leading merchants. did not return
to his home after trip to Camp Dix.
The Sheriff was notified of the disap-
pearance OF the man and search was
started. 1t seems that when the party
reached the camp Mr.. Stern locked his
car and told those who were with him
to return at a stated time. They
got back as requested but could not
find Mr.. Stern. After waiting some
time they hired car and went to
Wrightstown where they took train
and got home about ten o'clock In the
evening. The next morning daugh-
ter of the missing man went to the
camp and about ten o'clock found Mr..
Stern, who drove into the camp
ground. He said he had become i'll
after leaving his party and sat down
alongside the road until dusk. Then
he got up and being twisted as to di-
Iections was not able to locate his car,
so he walked to Pointville where he
put up for the night. The next morn
ing he renewed the search and found
his car undistarbed.
