LICENSES NOT GRANTED


Still hoping that something NAV
happen to relieve the dry condition of
the country, the usual number of hotel
keepers of this county made applica-
ton, last week, for renewal of their
licenses to sell spirituous, vinous and
malt liquors. 1t was the regular De-
cember period for granting licenses.
Judge Wells held session of court
on Friday, when the excise matters
came up.
| Robert Peacock, representing a num-
Der of the applicants, made formal
request for the granting of the licenses
basing the motion upon several theor-
les; that the ban on selling intoxicants
may be lifted before the constitutional
amendment goes into effect on Janu-
ary 16; that the state of New JERSEY
has attacked the constitutionalitv OF
the amen lment; that the applicants
desire to protect their licenses by re-
lquesting renewals before they NAV be
placed in the position of being new ap-
plicants, which under the law of this
state requires more difficult proceed.
ure; that there has been no change OF
repeal of the excise laws of New Jer.
sey and that the applicants have com.
} piled Herewith; that the United States
Supreme Court has not yet decided the
question of 2.75 per cent. beer being
intoxicating; that the applicants have
complied with all the rules and regula
tions of the court of Common Plea
and that no remonstrances have beer
filed.
Judge Wells stated that at the las
term of court he had announced tha
licenses would not be granted to be il
v force after January Is unless some rul
: ing or enactment should occur whicl
o would set aside the constitutions
t amendment. Since that term ther
t has been no change exceptithat Janu
II ary l6 is so much nearer at hand
e There is possibility that congressfor
b al legislation or presidential proclamf
1t ton may make change, but at pre-.
'f ent, the judge said, he would not grar
the licenses, but would continue tn
II cases from week to week until th
& national situation is decided or th
ID amendment takes effect. Should tt
f. ban be lifted soon, the application
RS may be granted in order that theI
n men may be in the same position 9
ii other hotel keepers who now hold
n censes.

A Happy New Year

Two days after this issue of THE
NEWS has left the press the year 1918
will be a memory and 1920 will be
starting with all its hopes and possible
disappointments-th less of these the
better. Let us wish for everything
that goes to make a bright and cheer
full life. There must be dark spots in
life, but there are sufficient silver lin
ings to the clouds to wipe away gloom
and unhappiness. Begin the new
year right by wishing all a happy,
prosperous and long life. That is the
desire of THE NEWS, so here is a
happy new year to all.

Court Proceedings

I
The December term of court opened
on Tuesday'of last week, Justice Ka
! lisch presiding. Edward S. Wood, O
Cinnaminson, was chosen foreman O
the grand jury.
, Justice Kalisch, in his charge to tn,
grand jury, paid especial attention Il
the fatal accidents that had occurred
owing to people being hit by automo
biles. The Justice said that drivers o.
any kind of vehicles must remember
that pedestrians or other persons on
the highways of the county must
be given preference. They have rights
that must be respected. He called at
tentiOn to the recent accident at Bur-
lington where young woman lost her
life and advised careful consideration
of not only this case but of all others
of similar nature. If criminal me-
glect was shown in the driving of an
automobile, then an indictment should
be found. The law fixes a maximum
speed for autos to be driven under GER
tain conditions and in certain places.
That did not mean that drivers may
use this maximum and go ahead reck-
lessly at the expense of human life.
I Justice Kalisch also alluded to the
homicide at Camp Dix about two
months ago. When the October grand
jury met the Justice said he had some
matters under consideration which
might require attention later. This
was one of them. No special recon-
mendation was made in this case, but
the jury, after carefully considering
the evidence, reported that the matter
should be left in the hands of the mill
tary authorities and that all papers in
connection with the affair should be
returned to the government.
The jury returned report on We'd
nesday of fifteen indictments, a num-
ber of which are not to be made public
until the defendants have been arrest
ed. The indictments thus far given
publicity are as follows:
John G. Garrett, embezzlement of
about $4,000. He gave bail, yester-
day, for $1,000.
Wellington Meredith, colored, of
Burlington, breaking and entering the
house of Melvina Jackson and steal
ing clothing, a revolver and money be-
longing to Mary Sharp. He
pleaded not guilty.
John Carr, Bordentown, receiving
stolen goods.
Edgar Horner, Burlington, desertion
and neglect of family.
Georgeanna Ruark, Mount Holly.
assault and battery on Elsie P. EN-
mons.
Clifford Britton, Pemberton, assault
and battery on his son in law, Edward
Pullen.
In the case of Harrison Sharp. color
ed, of Moorestown, charged with at
tempted rape, the defendant was
found guilty by Judge Wells on We'd
nesday. The prisoner was sentenced
to from five to twelve years in state
prison.

There is one point in the expenses OF
the new Board of Freeholders tina,
may have some good effect, unless the
ipresent law is amended. That is the
the pay of the members While thev
were elected under the law of 1912 which
providesianannual salary of 81, 500 each.
there is a statute which seems to knock
that out of existence. Chapter ID of the
laws OF 1919 is entitled IAN act to fix
the compensation of Boards of Free
holders except where the members are
now paid an annual salary" and it
says each member OF the Boards of
Chosen Freeholders shall have and re-
ceive three dollars for each dav he
shall be actually and necessarily en-
ployed in discharging the duties en-
joined on him as such officer, and the |
further sum of three cents per mile for
each and every mile he shall necessar
lily travel in going to and returning
from, by the nearest route, the sessions
OF the Board; and no other allowance
or emolument, directly or indirectly,
shall be received by such officer. There
is proviso that this act shall not ap-
ply to any county where the Board of
Freeholders is ''now paid an annual
salary" The act took effect February
l, 1919, and the little joker "now"
seems to look formidable. This is not
an amendment to the law of 1912 un-
der which the small Board was chosen,
but is an independent act, and the
fact that the word NOW" was inserted
would seem to indicate that it will +,
supercede the 1912 law, as the new law
does not interfere with the other ex-
cept on the salary question. Several
lawyers have looked into this matter
and have given opinions that there is
a very fine point involved.

In his charge to the grand jury JUS
tice Kalisch reminded that body that
carelessness on the part of automobile
drivers should be given attention. He
said that people driving, regardless OF
the vehicle they were in, were not the
sole owners of the roads. Persons
walking have equal rights with riders.
Accidents and deaths because of the
reckless driving of automobiles have
become terribly frequent, and the
deaths reported during the last year
have exceeded those on railroads by a
very large percentage. Justice Ka-
lisch's charge may have a good result
in this neighborhood, but when we re-
fleet on what has happenedit is a ques-
ton whether anything like due pun
ishment will be meted out to the Of
tenders. Not very long ago there were
two accidents which resulted fatally
one where boy was killed, the other
where an infant lost her life. Both OF
the drivers of the automobiles were
indicted and tried, and in each case
notwithstanding carelessness was
shown, both of the drivers were ac.
quilted In one case the presiding
judge refused to admit measurements
which tended to show how fast the
auto was going, on the ground thai
| the man who measured the distancs
had not been an eyewitness and goi
his information from some one who
did see. Yet within few days aftel
there was murder trial at which
maps and photographs were admitted
as evidence, all of which were mad,
from having the spots in point showr
by second or third party. AS Ia fac
that is the only way such evidence car
be secured. The surveyor or photo.
grapher cannot be on the spot wher
the accident or murder takes place
But this is only an incidental remark.
The real point is that the evidence tha
was ruled out showed conclusively tha
there was carelessness on the part O
the driver. He destroyed life, but h
was allowed to go free,

North HanoyeKs Troubles

A rev weeks ago the State Board o
Education rendered decision sustain
ing the Commissioner of Education
and the County Superintendent in
Withholding money from the Board OF
Education of North Hanover because
the latter had refused to comply with
the requests to furnish suitable school
buildings. This was not the end of the
troubles of the local Board as County
Superintendent Kaser had appealed to
the Commissioner of Education on a
point raised in which the Board and /.
Edward Harrison were jointly concern
ed. The State Commissioner has rem
dered his decision and the whole case
may be ascertained by reading the
opinion which is as follows:
II. Edward Harrison, one of the re-
spondents in this case, is a member of
the Board of Education of North Han
over Township, Burlington County, n.
j., at the present time, and was a
member of the said Board of Educa-
cation during the school years 1916
1917 and 1917-19lS. This appeal is
taken from the action of the North
Hanover township Board of Education
for, as 1t is charged, illegally paying to
l. Edward Harrison for the tuition
and transportation of his daughters,
Edith N. Harrison and Dorothy Harri
son, for the school year ending June
Both, 1917, the sum of $l3O, and for
illegally paying to the said /. Edward
Harrison for tuition and transporting
of his said daughters for the school
year ending June Both, 1918, the sum
of $40. The petitioner, the County
Superintendent OF Burlington county,
sets forth fully in his petition the
reasons for making the charge of illegal
payment of school moneys to men,
Der of the Board of Education.
"The petition making the charges
was regularly and legally served upon
the Board of Education and upon /.
Edward Harrison as respondents. The
were notified that answer
should be made within ten days after
proof of service of the petition upon
the respondents. No formal answer,
however, to the charges contained in |
the petition, was forthcoming. The re-
spondents were again notified by the
Commissioner of Education that an (
opportunity would be given to them, if
so desired, to deny the charges con-
tained in the petition. In reply under
late of December Is, 1919, there came
