Two Autos Stolen.

Unknown thieves stole an auto be-
longing to Jonas Lear, canal super
visor at New Hope, on Saturday night
and after bringing it this state they
abandoned it at Mount Airy, after
running it into a ditch from which
they were unable to extricate it. To
continue their journey they stole a
new car from A, Runkle, on the York
road, and that has not yet been To-
Gated, but Mr., Lear recovered his
car, little the worse for the trip.
1t is said that a strange man seen
in New Hope, on Saturday night
was the same one prior to the post
office robbery couple of years ago,
but whether he was one of the auto
party has not been determined. There
were two men, evidently, as one came
forward and paid the toll at the
local bridge, the other remaining in
the car. The toll collector did not
know that they had stolen car I'M
til after they had left the city.

Merchants Annual Meet

The third annual meeting of the
Lambertville Merchants Association,
held in Odd Fellows hall Monday
evening, was addressed by Harry D.
Conover, of the Trenton Chamber of
Commerce, and himself native of
Lambertville. His topic was "Town
Development Along Cooperative
Lines" and he gave the members
many pointers that were noted and
will be acted upon later. 1t was con-
sidered one of the most practical
talks the association has ever listen
ed to.
The officers elected were: Presi-
dent, Samuel A. Finger; vice presi-
dent. DR.. Theodore Balderston;
treasurer, Harry E. VanHorn; secre-
tary, Jesse M. Hunt; financial secre-
tary, G. C. B. John. George B. Horn
er and Thomas ]. Walker were tel.
lers, and j. M. Hunt, judge. The
secretary for two years past, Theo,
dore G. Kitchin. positively declined
the nomination and suggested Mr.
Hunt, who was elected without op.
position.
The treasures report showed that
the association was in flourishing
condition, with all bills paid prompt,
ly; the financial secretary's report
showed that there is now outstanding
but So in dues, representing two OF
three members who didn't happen tc
be in when he called. The secretary

Board Of Education Meets.

A meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton was held on Thursday evening
last. w. A. Klemann, architect, of
Trenton was present and plans for
proposed improvements to the schools
were gone over in detail
1t has been proposed to make al
terations at the High School which
will give one classroom and necessary
toilet facilities.
At the Third Ward School it is
proposed to divide one of the I'M
occupied classrooms and use the same
for toilet facilities.
At the First Ward school improve
ments are contemplated which
amount to a remodeling of the build
ing, will provide concrete stair and
Railways and adequate toilet and
coat room facilities.
The plans for improvements are
substantially agreed on, the only diff
ficulties being financial. The situa-
ton is that there is available $10,-
900 of the recent bond issue which
the Board is assured can be depened
upon for all of the proposed improve
ments. The present proposition is to
advertise for bids and to ascertain
which, if any, of these plans can be
executed within the limit and at
reasonable cost. Each step is being
considered rnd the city Commission
will be consulted before final action
is taken.
The plan of school and public H.
braries has progressed to a point
which is also a financial one. The
Board. the library and the City Com
mission are in accord. 1t is merely a
question whether funds can be pro-
vided for necessary facilities.

The Great Duty.

AS we go about our daily tasks in
peace and safety men are dying every
minute on the battlefields of Europe
to save civilization. Our own gallant
soldiers are shedding their blood in
France and our sailors engulfed in the
waters of the Atlantic as they go in
defense of America s rights and honor
Upon our performance of the work
committed to US depend the lives Of
thousands of men and women, the fate
of many nations, the preservation of
civilization and humanity itself: and
the more efficient and prompt we peo-
pie of America are in doing our part,
the more quickly will this war come
to an end and the greater the number
of our soldiers and sailors who will
be saved from deathan suffering and
the greater number of the people of
other nations released from bondage
and saved from death.
To work, to save, to economic, to
give financial support to the Govern
ment is a duty of the Nation and to
the world and it is especially a duty
to our fighting men who on land and
sea are offering their lives for their
country and countrymen.

misissoners Cochran, and Foltz, re-
ported nails found on the streets IN
other parts of the city, saying that
tine water company had been blamed
for some of the nails. it being alledeo
that their employees burned boxes tc
thaw out the frozen pipes without
cleaning up the nails. Mr.. Foltz, has
made investigation, however, anc
found that no boxes were used. so Il
could not have been the company

held by the local team, with ]. Gibson
Holcombe, leader; J. Robert Hoppock
Marian E. Schenk and Edwin Pend
Teton, alternate.
Many fine points were scored by
both sides, the arguments and an
swers dovetailing in as perfectly
as though they had been
planned, and the judges, Miss Ruth
Kirkbride, teacher of English at the
Princeton high school; Professor Brix
and Professor Roche. of the Trenton
High School, decided two to one in
favor of the negative or Lambertville
side.
Following the debate, the Nights

feat so gracefully that the home team
felt almost sorry to have won they
were entertained at luncheon dy Miss
Marian Schenk, at her home on York

turned to the hall for the dance that
followed.
This made the second debate won
by Lambertville, the first time they

Local Option Hearing

At hearing before the CITY col'
nissioners yesterday to determine
the suAiciency of the petition Tor an
election to decide the liquor question
Counsellor Harry j. Heller, of Tren-
ton, appeared for the four local al, IL
ouor dealers, John D. otocK'o'',
Walter E. Ennis, ]. J. Sheridan and
Joseph ]. Curtis. H.,
Mr.. Heller backed his opposition
first that the com. lacked jurisdiction
secondly that the dates opposite each
~ the sinners names was not always
written in full; thirdly, that some OIL
the dates had been written IN AFTER
wards, and fourthly, that the law IT.
self was unconstitutional.
Isaiah P. Smith, one of the clr re =,
lators of the petitions, was called
and questioned at some length re-
oarding the signatures, each when
he declared was signed and dated IN
his presence. ,
Harry s, Petrie was called, and
testified that some Of the dates were
written in after the petitions were
signed, but stated that he believed
this kept within the meaning OF the
law.
Horace G. Prall, counsel for the
method of dating was a far-fetched
objection, and that the act itself does
not specifically set forth that the
signer himself write in the date, The
act also provides for a liberal con-
struction of its provisions.
Mr.. Heller offered no objection tt
the signatures, but merely to the
method of dating, in summing up
and said that he had no objection tt
the matter being threshed out at ;
general election, but grieved quite
some over" the great cost of a spec
ial election" He related experiences
in Hamilton township, Mercer coun
ty, and other places where he hat
appeared, and summed up by saying
that the Commissioners really hat
no way of determining the numbe
of legal voters required anyway
They took the matter under consid
Grafton, and will act upon it in
few days.
