To Whom 1t May Concern

People have told us that it has been
reported to them that the Traction
Company or some of it's employees or
officials have instructed their motor
men to make no effort to keep from
running their cars into jitneys. 1t
seems as though a statement of this
kline should need no contradiction.
This report is being circulated by jit-
ney drivers who have previously been
employed by the Traction Company and
probably are what is commonly known
as ~disgruntled employees.
A motorman would be very foolish
indeed to follow out this procedure as
he is not paid enough money to arbi-
trarily run his car into a jitney, run
the chance of killing some one and
having to face a coroner's jury with the
possibility of later getting a Jail sem
tence for m~anslaughter. We wish to
state that at this time, however. that
certain Of these jitney drivers are do
ing all in their power to get struck by
a trolley car so that they may gain
public sympathy and pack up the false
statement that these motormen have
orders to run them down. Accidents of
all kin Is arc too expensive to indulge
in arbitrarily whether they be jitneys
n not.

WOODSTOWN

Led by influential citizens, with
Judge Edward c. Washington as the
spokesman, the delegation that went
to Washington last week to urge a
charter for a new national bank here,
has learned that the application has
been granted. The fight has been
waged for more than ten years, and
on two or three occasions a charter
seemed almost certain only to be up
set by the strong opposition put up by
the friends of the present bank.
Last fall the effort was renewed
with additional subscribers for stock,
which sold readily. The same opposi-
ton cropped up again, but SO well
we're the promoters prepared that ar
gument against the charter was more
than met at every hand. The Comp
troller heard the arguments last week
and that it is with pleasure
that he handed his approval.
The fight for the bank was waged
by such prominent citizens as Judge
Waddington, William Richman, A. D.
Snellbaker, George NJ. Andrews, How
ard Harris, Frank Richman, c. c. Avis
C. French Moore, c. c. Ford, Wallace
S. Roberts, Frank B. Ridgeway, Ben
jamin Patterson, H. C. Clifford, Thos.
McCallister, Walter Hackett and l.. E.
Souder OF Elmer.
Those who opposed it were William
z. Flitcraft, W. NJ. Weatherly, S. A.
Ridgeway, NJ. P. Newton, H. c. Hitch
ner, Jesse Lippincott, M. w. Buzby,
A. j. Davis, John E. Watson, Chas.
L. Richmond of Daretown, and A.
Smith Bassett, Salem.
The reason urged by those promot-
ing and backing the new bank were
the need of increased banking facili-
ties, in order to promote industrial en-
terprise and the prosperity of the COM
munity. 1t was shown that a large
amount of banking business has been
going elsewhere, and taking with it
as a natural sequence, trade in all
lines. 1t is hoped to turn this toward
Woodstown.
The opposition to the new institu-
ton strongly urged that the town is
too small to support another bank, and
that it would endanger existing fin
ancial institutions.
j. Paul Wilson, formerly of Woods
town, has been appointed executive
assistant in the executive department
of the U. S. Light and Heat Corpor-
alton, Niagara Falls, N. Y. His pro-
motion resulted from a scientific
study of manufacturing and plant
management.

Entertainments to Come

ing big claims for this entertainment

On Wednesday, March 31st, the
Loyal Order of Moose will give their
annual banquet. This is always a
great occasion with the Moose and
they say it will be better than ever
this year.
The Elks also have something I'M
der consideration in the way of
amusement that will cover an entire
week. Full particulars will be made
known in due time.

Possibilities that the railroad
labor troubles in Chicago might
assume much larger proportions
were chiefly responsible for the
growing strain today in the corn
market Besides. offerings were
scarcer even than has been the rule
of late. Predictions were also cur

year would be reduced instead of
augmented.
Oats assembled with corn and
brought the highest prices on rec

a bushel for No. white.
Provisions were lifted by the
strength of grain and hogs, despite
