Co,,rt Affairs.

| Judge Lippincott had busy day
Thursday. The theft of some chickens
was the first thing that attracted the
attention of the court. Four boysrang
ing in age from IA to IS years, were
brought up on the charge of stealing 4C
chickens. At least that was the mum.
her that has been brought to the ears
of the prosecutor, but whether there
are more or not is not known. The
charge was sufficient, however, to
cause the court to look at it in any
thing but mild manner. Nine per
sons suffered the loss of chickens and
while there were four boys implicated,
there was only one case where they all
worked together. The boys were
Girard Black, Chester Black. Benja-
min Archer and Harry Joy. They
worked in trios and pairs. This was
not the first appearance of Chester
Black and Harry Joy. They had been
put on probation some time ago, the
former for the larceny of SIS. the latter
for stealing a bicycle. Judge Lippin-
colt sent Girard and Chester Black to
the Jamesburg Reform School and
Benjamin Archer and Harry Joy to the
Railway reformatory.
These cases were of such gravity that
they could not be classed as mere mis-
chief. The chickens were sold to a
junk dealer which showed plainly
that it was money the boys were after.
The offenders do not bear very good
reputation in the community where
they live. Visits to poslrooms, cigar
cite smoking, disregard of home in
fiuences and the fact that they did
their work at night tended to show that
they were fully aware of the crime
they were committing Prosecutor
Kelsey reported that he had ordered.
the arrest Of the man who bought the
chickens as there did not seem TO be
any doubt but that he knew the prop
erty had been stolen.
Joseph T. Sorden, coIored resident
of Cinnamipson township, was before
the court for violation of his parole
under suspension of sentence on a
charge of larceny. Sorden pleaded in
ability to get work and bad health as
an excuse for not obeying the order Of
the court to pay costs. He said he is
suffering from indigestion and that he
was Of the opinion that he took too
much patent medicine. He has wife
and five children needing his support
and Judge Lippincott said this was all
that saved him from a state prison
term. He was told to try to pay the
costs and to leave the patent medicine
alone.
The application of Francis Tracy
Tobin to be declared insolvent was to
have been argued Thursday, but a
statement from Tobin caused the mat
ter to be continued until the April
term. Tobin wants to get rid of pay
ing the judgment that was entered
against him in the damage suit that
was brought by Arthur Phillips.

Flag Presentation

A large congregation assembled in
the Methodist church Sunday evening,
to witness the presentation of flag.
This was the second occasion Of the
kind. the first being at the Presbyter-
ian church. On Sunday evening the
opening prayer was made by Rev.
Walter Fish. of Rancocas. The music
Was very appropriate for the occasion,
the "Star-spangled Banner being
PLAYED by the organist with the con-
gregation standing. Scholars OF the
Sunday school, who were seated in the
gallery. rendered selections. After the
collection had been taken Mr.. Fish, on
behalf of the Federation OF Patriotic
Societies, presented the fiaga hand
some silk one. This flag was the gift
Of Marion Circle No. 9. Brotherhood of
America, and the Federation was the
medium of presentation.
Rev. Thomas s. Hammond received
the flag on behalf of the church and
made stirring patriotic address. He
referred to the affairs that are now
agitating the entire world and called
attention to the recent organizing OF a
Red Cross Association in Mount Holly,
advising his hearers to lend their aid
to that object personally and finan.
cially. Before closing his address he
asked that all the men in the audience
who were willing and ready to stand
by the President, country and the flag
in its true meaning, to stand. Every
man Immediately sprang to his feet,
Rev. johnson Oatman, Jr., made the
closing prayer.
The presentation of flags to the
churches will be continued until all
have been supplied. Next Sunday
morning committees will visit the
churches on Washington street. In
the morning the Baptist church, in the
afternoon Mount Moriah church, will
be visited by a committee and presented

tions and the citizens generally are in

Political Notes.


T. Lacey Atkins. OF Northampton
township. makes formal announce
ment that he is q candidate for the
Republican nomination for sheriff next
fall.
Among the appointments sent to the
Senate last evening was that of Albert
s. L. Doughty, OF Mount Holly, to be
a member of the Board Of Trustees of
the State Home for Girls.
The death of Martin II. Girven. as
SCISSOR Of Northampton township, has
| brought forth a host of candidates for
the position, and when the township
committee meets on Thursday evening
it will have q problem to solve that
will be somewhat difficult. There are
IA candidates for the Office at the pres.
emit time, all of whom possess qualiff.
cations for the duties. The appointee
will serve until the end of the year, as
the appointment will be until the next
election. 1t is possible, however, that
there will be no more elections for as
Isessor, as Senator Pierce has secured
i the passage in the Senate of bill
4 which he hopes will be enacted into 9
llaw and will take the Office of assessor
out of politics, as it provides for ap
pointment by the municipal govern
ling body. The bill also provides tina
any municipality so desiring may pu
the assessors under tenure of Office, tx
be removable only for cause. Thu
measure will permit assessors now il

Red Cross Organized.

AT the residence of V. Claude
Palmer, Saturday, thirty ladies met
for the purpose of organizing branch
of the Burlington County Chapter O.
the Red Cross Association. The object
of this meeting is to get all citizens in
terested in the movement to give aid
to the Red Cross. From present indi
cations there will be work for this as.
ISOLATION to do and it may be greatly
benefited by financial assistance. The
dues for joining are one dollar and it
easily may be seen how much can be
raised even in town the size of Mount
Holly. Joining the association does
not necessarily mean active work, al
though that will be greatly appreciat-
ed, but the contributions will be the
means of aiding worthy cause and
the giving of shis amount will
show that our people recognize the
situation and are willing to do their
part for the cause.
At the Saturday meeting officers
were chosen as follows: Chairman,
Mrs. V. Claude Palmer; vice chairmen,
Mrs. William A. Slaughter, Mrs. Will
liam C. Wetherill, Miss Carried. King
don; secretary, Miss Theodore Melcher,
treasurer, Mrs, Philip Karg, member
ship committee, Mrs. Winfield s..
Gale, Mrs. A. S. L. Doughty, Miss
Lottie Oliphant, Mrs. Isaiah Atkinson;
publicity committee, Miss Carrie J..
Kingdom.
Headquarters will be opened in the
second story of the Lewis building
corner Of High and Murrell streets,
and citizens are requested to visit the
room and get acquainted with the OBJ
jects of this work. The next meeting
will be held Thursday, April 5, at 7.80

Before the Public Again.

After obtaining their release on
habeas corpus proceedings following
their arrest in Philadelphia, Thursday,
on charge Of Obstructing justice ia
connection with the sensational divorce
action brought by Mrs. Helen Knitted
against her husband, Charles Al.
Knitted, real estate broker, Mrs. Mae
Abrams and her 18year-old daughter,
Kathryn, went to Atlantic City and
surrendered to Prosecutor Moore, whose
detectives have been on their trail since
last fall. Mother and daughter were
greatly crestfallen to learn that the
charge of obstructing justice was mere
ly technicality, and that they really
were accused of being principals ID
an alleged conspiracy to furnish Mrs
KNITTED grounds for divorce. Each
was placed under $1,000 bail on the
charge of obstructing justice and $4,000
on the charge of conspiracy. This was
furnished by the Marine Trust Com
pany.
When the two women were arraigned
before Judge Shinn at the Guarantee
Trust Building it developed that the
warrant for their arrest included as CO.
defendants Mrs. Helen KNITTED, De-
tective George Herbert and William /.
Garrison, of counsel for Mrs. KNITTED in
the divorce proceedings. None OF these
three have been arrested and the Prose-
cutor refused to say what action is con-
templated in their case. His reason
for the arrest of Mrs. Abrams and her
daughter, he said. was that they lead
a nomadic existence and apparently
have no fixed place Of abode.
The warrant sets forth that Mrs.
Abrams and her daughter on Septem-
Der 10, 1916, induced KNITTED to enter
Miss Abrams bedroom in her home in
Atlantic City, and that, while lacking
some of his clothing, Detective Her
bert and Mrs. Knittel rushed into the
room and obtained the basis for the
divorce action. 1t is also charged that
Attorney Garrison, Mrs. Knitted and
Detective Herbert, il execution of the
plan they had formed, rented the apart
ment where KNITTED was lured by the
girl, and that Miss Abrams and her
mother later were paid 5000 by Mrs.
KNITTED for carrying out the unlawful
agreement.
Mrs. KNITTED failed in her attempt to
get divorce, Advisory Master Thomp-
son deciding that the evidence submit
ted at the hearing constituted con-
spiracy. 1t was through his recon-
mendations that Supreme Court Justice
Black charged the Grand Jury at the
January term to probe the circum-
stances surrounding the case, as a re-
suit of which the arrests were made.

Billy Sunday, in the forcefulness of his
sermons, his apt illustrations and his
cogent reasoning. Scores of people
who never enter church are attending
his meetings and great good is being
accomplished. One OF the features OF
the Sunday evening service was the

Medford.

About $50 friends of Medford Young
Women and Young Mems Christian
Association enjoyed the debate on
Woman Suffrage. given in Odd Eel
lows hall on Friday night. The argu-
ments presented in many cases were
original, and showed that the debaters
were well posted on their subject.
Many humorous remarks, statements
and points were given or cited to prove
their cause. That the debate was well
presented and argued is very evident
from the fact that it was won by the
Affirmative by only one vote. County
secretary Robert G. Shoemaker pre-
sided at the debate and introduced the
following speakers on the affirmative
side: Mrs. Charles Kirby, Mrs. S. r.
Haines, Miss Christine Crawford and
Mrs. Jacob FL. Cochley. On the mega
tive side were: Henry P. Thorn, Ray
mond Prickett, Russell Brick, Everett
Haines, Roy Mickle and Herbert T..
Cochley. The judges were Joseph K.
Evans, John r. Lewis, Mrs. Albert
Shinn, Mrs. Allen Wescott aud Mrs.
Edward B. Reeve. At the close of th e
debate Emily Cross Rodan, of Phila-
delphia, accompanied by Mrs. Viii
