Murder and Suicide.

In the columns of THE NEWS, Tues
day, appeared the notice of the death
OF Oscar D. Chafey, but the cause of
his death was not learned by US until
after the paper had gone to press. 1t
was case of the man shooting his
wife and then killing himself. County
detective Parker, at the request of
coroner Rogers, of Bordentown, investi
gated the case, but as both the man
and woman were dead there was moth
ing to do but to make inquiry into the
probable cause of the tragedy. The de-
cision reached was that Chafey was
deranged. He had been acting queerly
for long time and it is thought that
a recent attack of influenza still further
unbalanced his mind. He was 81 years
of age and his wife was 20 years old.
Their bodies were found lying on the
dining room floor of their home by
their seven-year-old daughter Dorothy
when she returned from school. An
autopsy showed that Mrs. Chafey had
been shot in the back, and authorities
assert that she probably was trying to
escape from the room when the bullet
struck her. Chafey was lying on the
floor nearby. with bullet in his
temple and the revolver near him.
After making the horrifying dis |
covery, the girl ran to Chafey's grist
mill nearby and notified Robert Bran
son of Chesterfield. He at once sum-
moned physician, who stated that
the couple had been dead few hours.
According to Branson, Chafey went
into the house about 2 o'clock for his
monday meal. Branson was left in
charge of the mill. He stated he did
not hear any shots, and this was prob
ably due to the fact that the machinery
in the mill made considerable noise.
The home Of Samuel Carson is nearby
and he also stated that he heard no
shots fred. The revolver used in the
double killing was owned by Chafey.
A double funeral for the dead couple
was held from their home Friday, in
terment being made in Jacobstown
cemetery.
The couple had been married ten
years and Dorothy was their only
child. Chafey was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Chafey of Chesterfield. and
Mrs. Chafey was formerly Miss Alma
Sexton, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Sexton, also of Chesterfield.
Chafey bought the mill, which is
known as Pepler's Mill, five years ago,
and appeared to be doing prosperous
business. Prior to entering the milling
business he was employed on his
Iather's farm.

Random Remarks

AT st. Andrews church, Sunday
evening, Re-. Mr.. Cooke preached a
fine sermon on the Foolish Virgins
who were not prepared with oil in their
lamps when a wedding feast was to be
celebrated. At the close of the sermon
Mr.. Cooke paid glowing tribute to
the late Theodore Roosevelt and re-
ferred to one of the latter's chief char
acteristics in being always prepared for
emergencies. While the minister did
not mention any particular fact, yet
there were many in the congregation
who could not help thinking that if
President Wilson had listened to Mr..
Roosevelt in the early part of the late
war, when the latter saw into the future,
there might have been some different
results.

Some OF the dairy men are getting

and it is being sold to farmers to feed to
pigs at one quarter what it brings
when shipped to retail milk men.
Some OF the dairymen favor a lower
price for milk in hopes of inducing a

this will follow in the spring.

The proposition of the residents of
Chester township. principally Moores-
town, to extend the improved road be-
tween that place and Merchantville,
should be given serious consideration.
The new road as far as it comes this
way, which is about a mile west of
Moorestown, is great convenience
and is enjoyed by those who have
been compelled to go around by Coles
town and use a dirt road that has not
always been in the best condition.
From Merchantville into Camden
might be improved but the end this
way is fine and it materially lessons
the travelling time between here and
Camden, giving straight course. The
people of Moorestown are willing to
aid in making the extension. They
realize the value of a good road. That
has been one OF the characteristics of
the people OF that town. They have
always been ready to aid in getting
good roads. Finish the improvement
as proposed and put good repair work
ON the road from Moorestown to Mount
Holly and it will be the best work
done in long time.

Because of strong demands from
farmers for the repeal of the daylight
saving law, a bill for repeal of the
measure has been introduced in the
House by Representative Ramseyer,
of Iowa. The bill was referred to the
committee on interstate commerce,
and strong effort will be made to get
it considered. Unless Congress acts,
the clocks will be set ahead again on
the last Sunday in March. Letters
from farmers say that under the day
light-saving plan their help gets to
work late and quits early and the
farmer is hurt by it. Senator Calder
does not expect its repeal. City work.
ers who learned the art of war garden
ing find it to thir advantage.

Judge Lippincott took the proper
course when he reappointsd Frank c.
Wright member of the Excise Com
mission of Burlington city. The OBJ
lection to the member was that he was
opposed to granting any and all licen-
ses, but it was shown to the court that
Mr.. Wright had voted for several
licenses while on the commission. The
whole affair arose from the refusal of
the commission to grant a license to
Atkinson brothers, who occupy prop
erty owned by Mrs. Peters, and she
made the affidavit which sought to
have Mr.. Wright removed. Richard
P. Hughes, well known in political
circles in this county, appeared before
the court with the names of several
gentlemen whom he thought would
make admirable members of the COM
mission. While no special qualifica-
tions were advanced for the men who
were suggested, it might be inferred
that as objections were made to Mr..
Wright because he was against all
licenses. the others might be in favor of
any and all applications. At any rate
Judge Lippincott took the correct view
and as there was not anything against
the personal or official character of Mr..
Wright he was kept in Office.

Czecl1O-SIOvakia
One With Bohemia
BY FRANK J. TAYLOR.

Omitted Press Staff Corresponoent.) }
PRAGUE, Czecho- Sloyakia. Feb. 5.
(By mail. Though the country OF
the Czecho-Sloyak may be rightly
called Bohemia, and the language
may be called Bohemian, the people
are Czecho-Slovaks, according to the
version you get in Prague.
There has been a lot of debating as
to what the country would be called.
Bohemia is better known and is easier
to say. Czecho-Sloyakia is more cor
rect, according to those who know.
Czecho-Slovakia seems to be1winning
out.
They say in Prague that the country
has been Bohemia for many hundreds
of years. Then the Czecho-Slovaks
came and settled in the land, and the
two races mixed. until now they are
one and the same. The Czechs are
in the west. inhabiting ancient Bohe-
mia, and the Slovaks are the same ma
ticnality farther east.
So they VIII probably compromise
by calling the country Czecho-Slovakia
though most everyone thinks the lam
guage ought. to be called Bohemian.
The music and literature is Bohemia.
and Prague is center of the bohemian
life, and can prove it If any Amerr-
can cities want to contest the question,
real Bohemians say.
