William Dewitt, aged 70 years, who
came to Deer Park from a point over
in Pennsylvania, and secured work at
c. R. Savedge's several months ago,
and while working there gangrene in
his feet developed, his condition be-
coming so bad that about six weeks
ago he became a county charge and
was brought to Oakland and placed in
the hospital ward of the Jail where he
died on Friday last. The body was
inferred in the county plot of the
cemetery here after jury of inquest
had been summoned and found that
the man died of natural causes
Sheriff Roy o. Winters stated to
The Republican yesterday that the
presence of Dewitt and the condition
of his feet, which was such as to al
most nauseate one, caused the odor in
the Jail and consequent seeming I'M
sanitary condition of the institution at
the time it was inspected by the grand
jury last week which prompted that
body to refer to the conditions exist
ing therein.

GARAGE ROBBED AT ACCIDENT
Tires and Tubes Valued at About $500
Carried Off.

The Accident Garage, which is own
ed and managed by Mr.. Frank E.
Spoerlein, was entered through side
window some time after midnight on
Monday morning and property, con-
sisting in great part of tires and inner
tubes for automobiles, valued at $500
by Mr.. Spoerlein, were carried off by
the thieves.
Sometime during the past summer
Mr.. Spoerlein had a similar expert
ence when his place was entered in a
like manner and property of this same
class worth $1,000 was carried away,
none of which was ever recovered nor
any clue as to the identity of the rob-
bers obtained.
AS soon as the theft was discovered
Monday morning Mr.. Spoerlein got
into communication with points along
the Pike telling of the robbery and
then came to Oakland where he con-
suited with the State officials, but up
to this time nothing has been ascer-
tanned that would lead to a clue.
Persons residing in the vicinity of
the garage at Accident stated to Mr..
Spoerlein on Monday that during the
night they had heard noise at the
garage as if some one were hammer
ing, later the exhausts from two au-
tomobiles which moved off toward the
North, which indicates that the thieves
had experienced some difficulty in
forcing an entrance to the building
and after getting possession of the
loot drove off northward toward the
Pennsylvania state line.

MORE QUAIL COMING
10000 Birds Shipped From Mexico for
MARYLAND Counties.

Maryland is soon to be invaded by
an army of 10000 Mexican "prison-
ers" who will be turned loose in the
wilds Of the counties for the marks
manship of gunners of the State.
The prisoners" are not bandits. Vii
las or comic-opera generals with fierce
mustachios, and there is no reason
for alarm on the part of the peaceful
country folks. The prisoners" in
question are Mexican quail that are
now being bought up by broker in
Mexico to be shipped to the State
Game Warden for distribution to the
various counties of Maryland.
The contract has been closed by the
warden for the delivery of the birds
beginning in February. They will be
shipped to the counties direct. The
birds are trapped in Mexico and are
held up ten days on the border for
quarantine. When it is assured there
is no disease among them they go for
ward. The Mexican quail is little
smaller than the native bird, but
they mate well, according to the State
Game Warden.

DERAILMENT ON B. & O. R. r.
Twenty-three Head of Steers Killed
and Traffic Blocked Five Hours.

An engine and several cars of an
east-bound freight train on the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad were thrown
from the track at Bond Junction, 16
miles east of Oakland, last Sunday
night by reason of the failure of. the
leverman to properly operate the lev
ers controlling the switches at that
point, with the result that twenty
three head of steers on the way to the
eastern markets were killed, a num-
Der injured and other damage sus-
tanned to merchandise and products
contained in the cars wrecked. None
of the railway employees were hurt
The debris was scattered over the
road for considerable distance below
where the derailment occurred. A
wrecking crew from Keyser succeeded
in clearing the tracks about midnight,
the wreck having taken place shortly
after eight o'clock, but it was an hour
or more later before trains were NOV
ed owing to the condition of the track.
Passenger trains No. II, east
bound, was five hours late in reaching
Piedmont, while train No. was four
hours late reaching Oakland.

OLDEST OF STATE NOTICES
That of Maryland Was Adopted In
the Year 1913.

The Maryland suffragists who pro-
pose altering the states motto, "Fatti
Maschy Parole Feminae" Ito use the
old spelling), are proposing to put
rough hands to what should be sacred.
The offensive translation, "Deeds are
masculine, words are feminine" is not
the only one possible. The secretary
of state could easily be directed to
give official approval to "manly deeds
and womanly words" which would
give women a recognition they enjoy
in no other state motto.
But the best reason for jealously
guarding Maryland's motto is that it
is the oldest the nation can boast
the date of its adoption is placed in
1648-and is enwrapped with Mary
land history to a remarkable degree.
Throw away the Baltimore motto and
Maryland might as we'll turn the por-
trait of George Calvert, first Lord
Baltimore, to the wall.
There are other state notices that
are open to attack. Alabama's "Here
We Rest" suggests an obvious joke.
So does Washington's "By and By"
Virginia's motto recalls John Wilkes
Booth, New York's the rather tawdry
defamation by Longfellow, which it
inspired and those of several other
states-like Kansas "Ad Astra Per
Aspera" rhetoric of commence
ments. While these states cleave to
their notices, Maryland may we'll be
boastful of hers and it associations.

An Examination.

To the Editor of The Republican i
If understand the intention of the
Grand Jury in framing the clause in
their report referring to conditions in
the Jail, it was not intended as a re-
Election upon Sheriff Winters. The
bedding conditions were bad; one of
the inmates was dying of gangrene,
which produced very offensive odor.
This could only have been prevented
by providing the old man with a nurse,
which was not part of the Sheriff's
duty. D. M. DIXON,

Special School
Meeting Nov. 10

A special meeting of the voters of
the school district of Cliffside Park
will be held in the High School on
Tuesday evening, November 16, at 8
o'clock.
This meeting has been called by the
Board of Education for the purpose of
holding an election to determine wheth-
err the board shall be authorized to
purchase two lots east of and adjoin-
ing the school property on Columbia
avenue. This property may be bought
at the cost of $1,050 for both lots. AT
the same time it will be decided to give
the Board the power to borrow the pur-
chase price on notes.
The property that the board wishes
to secure is badly needed and will be
great asset. The playground at the
school is too small to accommodate all
of the pupils, and as the additional
property can be had at such low fig
ure it is hoped that great number OF
the voters of the borough will attend
the meeting next Monday and vote fol-
the purchase

To Fight Auto Fees
Heavy Increase

Trenton, Nov. S-MOre than 200 rep
resentatiyes of automobile and manu-
featuring organizations attended a
hearing today by the Assembly Judi
eiary Committee and objected to the
White bill providing for increases in
automobile license fees. A joint COM
mittee Of opponents Of the bill, among
them the, Association of Automobile
Clubs of New Jersey, the Newark Au-
tomobile Trades Association, the Union
County Mill Owners Association and
the New Jersey Automobile and Truck
Club, submitted a statement in which
it was charged that, under the bill,
the fees would be increased from to
95 per cent on automobiles and from
25 to 1862 per cent for trucks.
Backers of the measure had stated
that the bill called for increases of
"20 per cent and upwards"
The chief arguments of the advocates
of the bill, as presented by Walter J.
Busby, was that the states immediate
problem was to get more money for
maintenance Of highways.

Mrs. Becker Talks
On Book, "Main ST."

The second of the course Of lectures
and Mrs. Mcdonald in Grantwood by
Mrs. Becker was as much enjoyed as
the first one. She took for her subject
q review of Sinclair Lewis latest book
'Main Street." book of the Middle
West. Mrs. Becker drew an interest
ing parallel, with distinction Of course,
pointing out the difference between the
Coast and the Middle West inhabitants.
From religious viewpoint she said
that the coast people lean towards es-
tablished churches, the Congregational
principally, whereas in the inland sec
ton churches and schools were hard to
get in the pioneer days so that the
people made practically their own re-
ligi0n with nature, thus giving rise to
many sects, some of them quite I'M
usual.
The lecturer also discussed many
other points of difference between the
coast and inland people, all of which
were of deep interest.
But the real novel-not only Of the
Middle West, but the novel of the
year, is Main Street, which publishers
and literary people awaited seven
years for. 1t is seven years since Sin
clair Lewis began it, and lived in
dozen small towns getting their
life and atmosphere. The lee
turer then told the story of the
book The story of natural born"
reformer from her college days,
through wifehood and motherhood,
transported to Gopher PRAIRIE" then,
to her metropolitan eyes, dull, ugly
town, capable of all improvement but
to it's residents who made it, perfect
town, place where there is no real
conversation, for conversation is the
fine flower of fine civilization"
Always is Carol thwarted in her
desire to reform or recreate the town
and people, and one is left wondering
whether her increasing family and
years ever bring her real satisfaction
though she does come to better APP
probation Of her doctor husband.
