ALLEGED PROF|TEERS
FINED At THE SHORE
Five Other Atlantic City Dealers
Arrested for Selling by
the Piece
14-OUNCE POUNDS APPEAR

Atlantic City, \. j.. Aug. 29.-Ncw
Jersey struck hard at alleged profiteer-
ing by causing the arrest of twelve lead
ing ice dealers Of the city, charged with
selling their product by piece. instead
of by weight.
Charges were brought by 4. J.
Strickland, sealcr of weights and meas
ures. for Atlantic county, who claims
families in New Jersey lose collectively
thousands of dollars every year, because
they are made to pay on the pound
basis, but are sold by the piece without
knowing how much ice they get for their
money.
Seven dealers. among them the Bart
lett Company, of which William II.
Bartlett. former director of public
safety, is the head, were fined S25 each.
Five cases were adjourned for week
to permit of the production Of further
testimony against the dealers.
Several dealers said they would be
forced out of business. if compelled to
sell by weight.
City policemen today were ordered
to keep ears and eyes open for the pro- ,
curing of evidence Of profiteering
against stores of all sorts throughout
the city. Citizens are invited to report
any dealer whom they suspect is
gouging.
Federal agents detailed to Atlantic
City and county this week by Attorney
General Palmer are said to have found
many profteering scales which register
fourteen ounces as pound.

ON LEAGUE
IS SENT TO SENATE
Group of American Citizens"
Approve Principle, but Ask
important Amendments
TREATY "NOT FOR PEACE"

Although they accept nnrcservedly
the principle of the league of nations.
group Of American citizens today
sent signed statement to the United
States Senate and to each one of the
senators. protesting against ratification
of the proposed covenant and treaty
unless certain important amendments
arc made.
The statement is signed by j. Henry
Scattprgood. NJ. Albert Linton. Nor
man NJ. Thomas. Edward W. Evans,
Oswald Garrison Willard. Harold A,

Stratton. James &. Vail Anne g.
Walton. Rufus NJ. Jones, Florence G.
sNasmyth. William Bishop, Rachel T.
Williams. John NPvin Sayrc. Robert
Morss Lovett Richard w. Hogue and
Helena s. Dudley.
The statement declares that the
covenant and the treaty as they now
stand are not shaped to fulfill the pur
poses of peace that they do not 'in
carnate the principle of democratic
control" but give supreme power to
group of five nations: that there is toe
much evidence that the controlling mo
tivcS of the treaty and covenant have
been to cripple Germany on one hanc
and on the other to satisfy unholy ma :
tional ambitions
"Thc forces that would control this
league" runs the statement. "havc al
ready given some evidence of their pur
poses and methods in the blockadeS oi
Germany and Russia, which we feel il
our duty to condemn utterly as enor
nous crimes against Christianity ant
/ humanity. In the exclusion of Ger
many and Russia from the league there
is a flaw which not only vitiatcs the
leagues character. but which. II per
sisted in. NAV we'll produce the fata
result of dividing the world into two
monster alliances armed with stupen
dous conflict
"In Christian and democratic
peace the freedom of peoples and thu
right of self determination would be 1
foremost principle. A Christian peac
would not deny this right to Austria
violate it as in new Poland, nor cOult
it have place for a Shantung settle

Happy Souls,

The Sentinel feels sorry for our

Maitland; sorry because they have
been called upon TO give their consen,
for their dear daughter, Bess, to leave
home and 20 hence with the one she
loves-best-forsaking all other-just
for him. We are glad for them, be.
cause II seems Miss Bess has chosen
wisely and hence her future promises
to be happy one.
Since their going, Milt says things
seem so awfully lonesome, and he and
wife can hardly content themselves
now in their old home.
The wedding of Miss Bess Brum-
baugh and Mr.. Victor ]. Allderdice, o.
Coldwater, Kansas, was one of the
most brilliant social events of our sis
ter city Of Maitland, and was SOL
