Open Homes to the Soldiers

Last Sunday was the first Sunday
many Of the new national army spent
in their temporary home at Wrjghts-
town. Some of them went to their
homes and other points of interest.
However, with the New York State
men, coming as they do as far as
Buffalo, this privilege of going to their
homes, and enjoying the comforts and
pleasures of home life will be denied a
considerable number of men on account
of thedistance they must travel. In
order to meet this condition, many Of
the homes of Burlington County will
be opened to receive one, two or more
soldiers for the weekend leaves Of
absence that the soldiers may receive.
Already several kindly disposed ladies
have expressed their intention of re-
ceiving soldiers from. Saturday after
noon until Sunday evening and ar
rangements are being made between
the secretaries of the Burlington County
Young Mems Christian Association
and General Secretary Lahsdale Of the
Army Y. M. C. A. work at Wrights-
town for such week end visitation.
This is most commendable way of
evidencing real patriotic interest,
and the homes that will entertain
soldiers selected by the secretaries at
the Wrightstown Cantonment will
feel splendidly repaid by the apprecia-
ton and enjoyment each soldier re-
ceives.
No formal programe, or entertain
ment is necessary. The soldiers select
ed will be only too glad to join the
family in their ordinary habit of, liv-
ing. Perhaps an informal reception,
social or party Saturday evening, at
tendance at church and Sabbath school
Sunday, an auto ride to points of in
terest, hike followed by good din
ner, would work out splendidly.
Both County Y. M. c. A. Secretar-
les Hendry and Shoemaker will be
glad to cooperate in working out this
plan, and any information relative to
putting into operation this plan, will
be gladly furnished. Those desiring
to entertain soldiers for any week end
should get in touch with Messrs. Hen.
dry or Shoemaker at their earliest con.
venience. Write or phone the Y. M.
c. A. Office at Mount Holly, Bell
phone 1913 r.

Riot in Church


AS result of recent disturbance
and fight between clashing factions in
the Roebling Greek Catholic Church
six men have been held under 800 bal
each, for appearance at court, charged
with rioting and assault and battery.
The names of the defendants are
George Kavaski, Peter Saprony,
George Major, Dometrio Popp, George
Mosui and George Dobran.
The compliments are Rev. E. Luz
casui, rector, and three Others.
The case was heard before Justice
Hebron, on Saturday.
The trouble arose over a proposition
made by the rector to invite to the
church and entertain a Rumaniar
commission that, like similar commits
sions from France, England and Italy
have visited the United States to &C.
ment the friendship between the allied
nations which are at war with Ger
many and the other central powers.
Some Of the members of the Roeb
ling church are Rumanians and somC
are Hungarians. The latter are pro
Hungarian in their war sentiments.
While the Rumanian portion of the
parish was holding meeting in thu
church to perfect plans and raist
money to entertain the commission
the anti-element forced themselves in
to the building and fracas ensued.

she was overcome by the fumes that
were escaping. Her aunt, who slept

Firemen Meet

The September meeting of the Bur
lington County Fire mems Association
was held in the house of Relief Engine
Company, Moorestown, Wednesday
evening, with 20 companies represent
ed.
1t was announced that Lawrence G..
Mingen, of MedfOrd, would be candi-
date for thesposition OF vice president
of the State Association, representing
the second Congressional district.
The County Association endorsed Mr..
Mingen's candidacy, and he was elect
ed at the meeting of the State Associa-
ton held in Atlantic City, Saturday.
Mr.. Cramer, of Beverly, reported
that fire company in Rancocas is as
sured. He also said that the Beverly
fire company has eleven members in
the United States service and that a
flag with eleven stars will be displayed
from the fire house in that CITY and
suggested that each company in the
county adopt this plan to show how
many of its members have gone to the
war.
Owing to the fact that several fire
engines have been held up on their
way to fires by vehicles refusing to
give them the right of way, the law
on the subject was read as follows:
THE driver of a vehicle, on the
approach of fire engine or any other
fire apparatus, shall Immediately draw
up said vehicle as near as practical to
the right hand curb and parallel there
to and bring it to standstill unit
such fire apparatus has passed."
The firemen have been very lenient
in this matter as they have not desired
to make trouble for those who ought
to know better, but the law is clear and
due notice is now given that it will be
enforced strictly in the future.
Chief engineer G.. w. A French, of
Mount Holly, said the officers Of Camp
Dix have expressed willingness to
cooperate with any of the county fire
organizations whenever called upon.
The october meeting will be held at
Riverside.

Hotels TO Close

Because to-day is election day all the
hotels and saloons in Burlington coun-
ty will be closed until after nine
o'clock this evening. Tomorrow morn
ing two hotels in Browns Mills, two in
Cookstown and one in Wrightstown
will not open for the purpose of serving
liquor. The proclamation OF President
Wilson goes into effect at midnight to-
day and by it all bars within five miles
of the Wrightstown camp will be com
PEELED to stop business.
Prosecutor Kelsey has been in COM
munication with the Attorney General
of the United States and as result
has notified every hotel keeper just
what will be expected of him and the
prosecutor is determined to see that
the Presidents proclamation is respect
ed. There has been some question
whether the Inn at Browns Mills
would have to close it's bar as it only
caters to its customers, but prosecutor
Kelsey says there is not any distinc-
ton and that bar must 60 out of bust
ness.
In addition to the hotels in Burling.
ton county that will be compelled 10
close there will be some in Ocean coun-
ty but Mr.. Kelsey does not have juris-
diction over them. He has seen the
judge and prosecutor of that county
and they have taken the same action
that the Burlington county official
has. In addition to seeing that the
proclamation is needed prosecutor Kel-
sey is going to give especial attention
to other places that are allowed to sell
liquor and he will make an extra en-
deavor to locate some of the speak
easies" that are said to be fourishing
in different parts of the county.
Under the proclamation of the Presi-
dent hotels in incorporated boroughs
are exempt from the provisions of the
law or order of the government, but
Mr.. Hartman. proprietor Of the Penn
berton Inn, has determined not to take
any risk in the matter and has request
ed an opinion on the subject from the
United States Attorney General I'M
til he receives definite information he
will not open his hotel.

Random Remarks.

The result of the coroner's inquest
at Vincentown, Friday, has caused
several questions to be asked. One is:
"Of what use is coroner's investiga-
tion2 The jury returns verdict and
it does not seem to settle anything"
That is true in some instances. Some
times jury, after due investigation,
finds that there is absolutely no foun-
dation for further action, facts being
brought out at the inquest which
throw an entirely different light on the
rumors and appearance that at first
were shown. But there is nothing
that prevents further proceedings if
the authorities desire to 60 ahead.
This was the case in the inquest at
Vincentown. There the driver of an
automobile admitted he was running a
car without license, that he knew he
did not have any right to do SO, that
he knew that his lamps were not work.
ing and could not be made to burn, so
he depended upon lantern hung out
on the side of his car, the result of
which was that he ran into wagon
and the life Of an innocent child was
sacrificed. The jury decided that all
the evidence showed an accident, u
without any allusion to negligence or
carelessness. The prosecutor, however,
had different ideas, and will have the
matter given further investigation.
Another idea has been advanced in
the matter Of inquests and this is that
it is not good thing to summon
jurors from the same town in which
the person who is being Investigated
lives. There may be persons prejudice
ed for or against him, while if out
siders were called there would not be
any criticism to be made on that score.
The law gives coroner the privilege
of summoning jury from any part of
the county. The amount allowed for
the service is so small that it hardly
permits calling man from distant
town away from his business to give
his attention to the case that may be
presented for consideration, but it fire.
quently happens that verdicts are
rendered that might have been differ.
ent if entirely disinterested parties had
been making the inquiry.
