OF prominent Riverton families, are
understood to have confessed breaking
into and robbing the property OF A. R.
Earnshaw, in Riverton, and to have
damaged the Miss Martha Biddle pro-
perty. A Palmyra lad also is involved.
No arrests have been made, but
shortly after reward of $50 had been
offered by Mr.. Earnshaw, officers
Miller and Quigley obtained the names
of the boys and recovered most of the
loot, which had been taken some time
the previous week.
From the Earnshaw property there
was stolen, among other things shot
gun, rifle, automatic pistol, small en-.
CINE and flashlight.
At the Biddle property it is under
stood the youths shot out the window
and broke the lighting fixtures with
airguns and small fiobert rifles.
Charles M. Biddle, who is in charge of
the property, has not decided -upon
what action he will take concerning
the matter and Mr.. Earnshaw also has
not made up his mind. All the boys
are still at liberty and are said to be
taking steps to return such of the
stolen goods as they already had dis
posed Of.
There was wave of robberies recent
ly in Palmyra, which finally resulted
in the accidental killing of a promi-
nent citizen there, but there has been
nothing disclosed to connect the River
ton case with the Palmyra roDberies.

Attacks Option Law

Harry Milchaelson, a liquor dealer
of Wall Township, Monmouth County,
has attacked the legality Of the local
option law passed by the Legislature.
Questioning the constitutionality Of
the measure, Michaelson has obtained
n writ from Justice Kalisch, in the
Supreme Court, to review petition
calling for q special election in his
township, May %.
Michaslson declares the petition and
proceedings are insufficient and at the
same time assigns the following reasons
to substantiate his contention that the
act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Because an
attempt is made by the Legislature to
delegate its law-making power, vested
exclusively in the Senate and Assem-
bly,, to vote Of the people; because
the actleaves the subject matter by at
tempting delegation OF legislative pow
ers to the voters of the respective mu-
inequalities to place the law in opera
ton and effect by their vote; because
the act contains proviso that its
terms shall not apply to particular
localities, thus depriving such locali-
ties OF the right to vote for or against
its provisions, and because the act,
being prohibitory liquor legislation, is
not OF general nature and in its oper-
alton is not uniform throughout the
State.

-Four sawmills were erected and. the
large trees on the $4,000 acres were
hewed to the ground. Instead of u.s.
ing all the timber that is cutthose who
have been doing the work have cut
down large trees and then sawed them
SO as to get only the large log portions,
leaving quantities Of cordwood to lie
idle when it might easily be marketed.
The promised payments on this tract
had not been made and the original
owners thought something out to be
