The neglect of sending in the names
to the City Commissioner of the local
boys in the service has caused delay
in the completion of the honor roll
which is to be erected ON the plot of
ground owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company over the arch on
Farnsworth avenue. The Commission
again requests that these names be
sent in at once.
Great dissatisfaction is expressed by
many local patrons of the Public Ser
vice trolley system, who find it diff
cult to reach their places of employ
ment, due to the failure of the COM
pany to maintain it's schedule.

Affairs at Court.

After disposing OF several matters in
the Orphans court, Thursday, Judge
Lippincott took up some criminal mat
ters.
( Florence Buscaglio was brought in
for sentence on the charge Of adultery
She had pleaded guilty and the court
had awaited the return of blood test.
1t showed the woman to be suffering
with bad disease. She had, at one
time, been an inmate of a reformatory
in New York state, but had been re-
leased on parole. She asked permits
sion to speak on her case and when it
was given she told the judge that since
she had been out on parole she had
married and that, under the laws of
New York, took all control of her away
from the New York authorities. Judge
Lippincottsdecided that the act did not
affect the New Jersey affair, and he
sentenced the woman to the State Re-
form School for Women.
Mary Carpenter, Susie Gauntt and
Hattie Beebe were charged with i'm
proper relations with Camp Dix SOL
diers. They all are married. The
women, who are very young, came in
to court crying and sobbing 1t is said
they have been doing this ever since
they were taken to Jail. At first they
pleaded not guilty, but in a little
while they changed their plea to
guilty. Prosecutor Kelsey told loug
tale of bad doings in the boat houses
back of Rancocas Park in which SOL
diers participate, and he made strong
plea that this evil should be eradicat-
ed. Although the evidence in this case
is no stronger than that in one which
was before the court short time since
in which the prosecutor asked that the
woman be placed on probation, he
seemed to think this was very helm
GUS affair. Richard P. Hughes, of the
department of justice, told the court
what he knew about the case and
showed the trouble the camp author
tiles are having with this sort of crime.
The case was laid over until Thursday
and the women were allowed to 60 on
their own recogizance until that time.
They live in Lumberton.
Wiley Cooper, colored resident of
Burlington, pleaded guilty to having
improper relations with his stepdaugh-
ter. He was represented by Samuel
A. Atkinson, who showed that this
man is held in high esteem by the
people of Burlington, and that this
was his first appearance before any
court. His wife is dead and the girl,
who is 20 years of age. keeps house for
him. Mr.. Atkinson asked for suspen-
sion of sentence, but the court decided
that fine of $50 must be paid.

How Will You Vote 2

Next Tuesday will be election day
and the local option question with re
gard to liquor selling in Mount Holly
will come before the voters. The Local
option forces are pushing strenuous
campaign this week and in fair way
are presenting the facts to the voters
and it is up to the majority to decide
whether or not liquor shall be sold in
Mount Holly.
On Saturday night on the main
streets of Mount Holly were seen large
numbers of drunken men, reeling the
full width of the sidewalks. For few
weeks past Mount Holly has witnessed
peace and quiet, so far as drunkenness
is concerned, but on Saturday night
they cut loose and many were a nuis-
ance to pedestrians. Is this credit to
Mount Holly
On account of revelry at Camden on
Friday night, and likewise at Glouces-
ter on Saturday night, the officials at
those places were compelled to close all
bar rooms. If the liquor business is
proper, why are the authorities re-
quired to close these places for public
safety?
According to the official record in
the Recorders Office in Mount Holly,
there have been 100 cases before Re-
corder Herbert since he has been in
Office, and every one was caused by
liquor, directly or indirectly. The Re-
corder has on an average 80 drunken
0ases month come before him, but
during the period that the saloons in
Mount Holly were closed by the infu-
enza epidemic, there was not case be-
fore the Recorder This was necessarily
great saving in expense to the tax
payers.
If you believe that the traffic in al
cohol does more harm than good-help
stop it. And the way to stop this de.
structive traffic within the limits of
this historic old town is for the major
ity of the voters in Mount Holly to
vote yes on the proposition which
will be submitted to them at the gener-
al election next Tuesday.

Option Committee.

Christmas Packages to Soldiers

Between October % and November
l all chapters of the American Red
Cross will have received the official
cartons for Christmas gifts to Ameri-
lean fighting men in France according
to an announcement made by the At
lantic Division of the Red Gross.
The cartons will be distributed only
to those persons who have received
the official Christmas labels which
were issued to the men in the Expedi-
tionary Force and which are to be
sent by them direct to the relatives
from whom they desire to receive
gifts. The Red Cross had nothing
whatever to do with the issuance of
these labels overseas and is in no way
responsible for the failure of anyone
in this country to receive such label
! 1t is merely undertaking to distribute
the cartons to those who receive the
labels and to inspect the cartons after
they have been packed and then turn
them over to the post Office authori-
ties.
The procedure as explained by the
(Atlantic Division will be for persons
possessing the Christmas labels to
make application at the nearest Red
Cross branch. The official carton
will be given them upon presentation
of the label. If label is lost it can
not be replaced and the person losing
it will not receive a Red Cross car
ton.
The carton should be filled as soon
as possible and taken to the nearest
Red Cross branch for inspection. Af-
ter the Red Cross inspection label is
attached, the parcel will be sent by
mail to Hoboken. The postage is to
be prepaid by the person sending the
package.
November 20 is the last day that
Christmas packages for the Ameri-
can soldiers in France can be put in
the mails. By reason of the large
number of packages that are bound
to be received, relatives receiving the
official Christmas labels from the men
in France are asked to do their
Christmas shopping early and thus
make certain that their gifts will
reach the point of transportation on
time.
Relatives and friends who are hop
ing to make the coming Christmas as
merry as possible for the men in the
trenches and concentration camps in
the war zone should bear in mind that
each soldier is entitled to but one con-
tainer. Where it is desirable to have
several people forward him gifts the
size and variety of them should be
decided upon so that the carton may
not be overweight.
The package cannot weigh more
than three pounds when it is ready
for mailing. If the Red Cross in
spectors find that it is overweight
they are under strictest orders to re-
move some article or articles. There
fore it is important that those who
send the parcel adhere strictly to the
specifications as to weight which call
for maximum of two pounds fifteen
ounces.

Military Affairs

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert t. Morris, OF
Tuckerton, last week received news Of
the death of their son, John Morris,
who is chief engineer of the mine
sweeper, j. w. Courtney. Mr.. Morris
died at sea, from pneumonia, while on
his way to France after visit home.
He was 38 years of age and leaves a
widow and three children. Their
home is at Lewes. Del.
Lieutenant Clifford r. Powell, son of
Spencer III. Powell, of Lumberton,
again has been wounded and is con-
valescing in hospital at Nice, France
according to letter received by his
wife, dated October 9Th. He writes
that he was shot in the eye on October
1st while fighting German airplane.
He had been on duty month after
recovering from a bad wound in the
thigh received in June, when he
brought down two German planes.
Col. Thomas ID. Landon, of Borden
town, and Major Shivers, Of Wood
bury, are in active military service. 1t
was recently reported that both officers
had been -honorably discharged. The
war department records show that Col.
Landon and Major Shivers have not
retired. Col. Landon had been assign
ed to Camp Mcclellan, at Admission,
Ala, and from there he went abroad,
and Major Shivers is still with the
111th infantry.
A report was in circulation last week
that Llewellyn J. Knighton, who re-
Gently was sent to Camp Humphreys,
Va, by the registration board. had
died there. The story originated from
the return by mail of a package that
had been sent to him about three !
weeks ago from Mount Holly by his
mother. The package was marked, !
"Please return to sender; the man is
dead" A telegram was sent by the |
parents to the commanding officer of |
the camp, making inquiry about the |
young man. The captain of the COM
pany sent this reply: Private Level |
lyn Knighton is alive and well; has |
not been sick; evidently error on part |
of post Office authorities" The mis-
take apparently resulted from the fact |
that the soldier had been transferred to |
another regiment. the 219th Engineers,
and the package had been sent to his
original address. The objectionable |
blunder of placing the dead inscrip.
tion on the package caused much wor-
riment to the parents.

Vincentown Hotel | licensed


Thursday was the date for hearing
testimony on the complaint that Louis
S. Brown had refused meals to parties
who applied for them at his hotel in
Vineentown. William A. Slaughter
said he had been retained on Wednes-
day to file other complaints against
Brown, not only with reference to re.
fusing meals but on the charge that
liquor had been sold Illegally and to at
least one person after the wife of the
man had been to the hotel and re-
quested Brown not to supply her hus-
band with drink Mr. Slaughter said
he had been brought into this case on
very short notice and had not had time
to get acquainted with the testimony.
He asked that further time be granted
and that this hearing be postponed un-
til he could get his case in shape.
Judge Lippincott did not feel dis
posed to grant this request. He said
notice was given two weeks ago that
the hearing would be held on Thursday
and the citizens of Vincentown un-
doubtedly knew of this fact The rules
of the court required remonstrances to
be filed the first week of every term,
but if Mr.. Slaughter was ready with
any testimony that would show viola
ton of the law he would be permitted
to present it. For this purpose the
court reserved decision on the case un-
til three O'Clock in the afternoon.
On the question that was pending be-
fore the court the hotel keeper pro
duced four witnesses, all of whom tes.
titled that they had been in and
around the hotel at meal times and
that they had never seen any one re-
fused meal. The main witness, the
man who was reported to have taken
ten men to the hotel and was refused
supper was said to be very busy at
work on bridge pouring concrete,
hence he could not be heard. The citi-
zens :of Vincentown< appeared to be
very Indifferent in the matter and did
not have lawyer to represent them,
and Mr.. Brown was apparently so we'll
satisfied with his position that he con-
Quoted his own case.
On the point that had been raised
against him Brown said that the con-
tractor on the bridge had called at the
hotel about six o'clock one evening
and asked for supper for ten men, The
hotel keeper did not refuse to serve the
meal but did say that his help was
about through and that he would pre-
fer the man going to a restaurant near
by. If he could not get accommodated
there he was to come back to the hotel
and supper would be furnished.
This was about all the testimony.
That of one other witness corroborated
Mr.. Brown, while the others merely
gave evidence of the good way in which
the hotel was conducted. AS there was
not any lawyer to cross-examine the
witnesses, the evidence had to be taken
as it was given, and as the hour of
three had arrived and Mr.. Slaughter
had not presented specific charges, the
license was granted. Mr.. Brown was
told that he must observe strictly the
rule that meals must be served at rea-
sonable hours and that the business of |
the hotel must not be conducted abSo- |
lutely on barroom trade.
