COney Escapes a Prison
Sentence, but is Fined
Three Thousand Dollars

Wednesday was sentence day at the
County Court. Some long pending
cases were disposed of, among them
that OF Richard H. Coney, the we'll
known Wildwood teamster and ex-
pressman, who pleaded guilty early in
September to receiving stolen auto.
mobiles and issuing fake bills of sale to
tho.e who purchased the stolen ma
chimes from him. After administering
a singing lecture to Coney Judge
Henry H. Eldredge i'm posed a fine of
So 900 and costs. The Judge remarked
from the bench that when he left home
on the morning of sentence day that
he had resolved to give Coney two
years in States prison, but that he had
changed his mind in that brief space OF
time. Judge Eldredge made a sort of
apology for his action. and said also
that he expected to be criticized for not
imposing a prison sentence in this case.
Stolen cars have been coming 10 Willie
wood for years, it is said, and somebody
has been receiving them, it is a firm
belief, with the knowledge that tn y
were stolen. Credit for the apprehen-
sion OF Coney and others implicated is
due Albert l.. Sherlock, who was ap-
pointed chief of police of Wild wood
last summer by Mayor William c..
Hendee, ex-sheriff of Cumberland
county. Mr.. Sherlock's appointment
is being opposed by his two fellow
conn issioners of Wild wood. Mr..
Sherlock had been in office only a few
weeks when he commenced to round
up the band of automobile thieves.
Ed Boyd, a colored fellow, found
guilty OF the same charge as Coney has
ad limited, was sentenced for FROM one
TO W years in prison. Ralph Wright,
a chauffer, of Arctic avenue, Wildwood.
alsoimplicated in stolen auto cases, was
sentenced by Judge Eldredge to pay a
line OF $500. payable in weekly INSTALL
ments of So, commencing this week.
The trial of Kenneth Kirby. an m
ployee OF Coney's express, indicted on
about the same charge as Coney's, was
put of until the December court,

Earnestness Pays Best.

No honest man dare play the trifler.
The very thought is repugnant to him.
He wants to be rated 100 per cent a
q He wants his word to count for
full measure. SO he rises above the
f1ckleness of the trifler. He becomes
known for what he does and what he
stands for. He may not always real
iZe his ideals, but he tries to make
every effort worthy of the name he
bears. BY acting the man he becomes
better than his fellows and his rise
to power is the reward of doing what
is best. He knows that talent is dis
counted In the recognized trifler and
sees to 1t that he keeps above sus-
picion. There's nothing in the trifing
game to make a man covet it. There
is much to make it despised.

CITY HALL DOINGS

Continued from page l
Considering all the untoward or I'M
fortunate circumstances surrounding
this case, the petitioner i'm portuned the
commissioners ITO arrange some basis
for a complete settlement" and ap-
pealed to their ''sense Of justice and
fair treatment" Mr.. Christ maintained
that Joseph Geiseub berger should have
paid most OF this back tax, and for this
reason some adjustment il asked for.
His Fl. al proposition was this: my
brothers and | will endeavor to raise
81 900 between US if you will accept
that in full settlement"
The communication received little
consideration. Almost Immediately
after it had been heard Commissioner
Smith moved that Mr.. Christ be re-
quired to pay the foil amount, as tabu-
lated, and 1t was so ordered by unani-
lot vote.
The last letter to be read was from
john Harris, of Camden, admonishiug
the commissioners that a check had
been sent him, as a retainer, by the
Edward K.Tryon Co., of Philadelphia,
with instructions that suit be brought
against the city of Wild wood, to COM
pei payment of a bill TO the amount of
$50. IL, for three revolvers and six billies
ordered by Mayor Hendee last
The attorney generously added that he
would not start suit until after the
meeting on Tuesday last, to STE what
the commissioners were going to do
about it. A motion was passed at once
authorizing the bill to be ! aid. These
revolvers and titles are said TO be in
the possession of A. l.. Sherlock. Com
missioner Smith moved that these
weapons be turned wei to Chief of
Police William s. Crawford. The
mayor instantly objected, saying that
be did not recognize Mr. era as
chief. Smith hastily withdrew his
motion. .Hendee then moved that the
pistols and clubs be turned over to the
mayor. This motion went through
unanimously. The sudden recollection
Of certioralis no doubt accelerated the
action.
4 Peter Viola, who conducts a barber
shop on Pacific avenue, near Young
avenue, startled the commissioners
when he stood before them and asked
for a permit to use the city streets on
New Years Day, 1921, for parade pur-
poses. Mr.. Viola aims to organize a
band of "mummers," and to institute
the first parade Of this kind ever at
tempted in Wildwood. Consent of the
commissioners was freely given and all
possible aid and announcement should
now be extended to the promoters of
the scheme to have a band of new year
shooters" go marching through our
streets. King Momus will chuckle
with gIee when he learns of tbs pro-
posed extension to his field of usefulness.
A motion was passed to accept the
offer OF the A. j. BozsJth Corporation,
sos Walnut street, Philadelphia, quot
ing the carload Of "short leaf" pine
lumber (sent here by mistake) at $50
per thousand. 1t was billed originally,
In error, at the rate of $78 per thousand
the price of "long leaf" pine. The
mayor had objected to paying more
than S36 a thousand; but rather than
get into a lawsuit about it he said he
would vote for the compromise offer of
500. Adjournment at 2.45.

One Hundred years ago on

May 12, 1920, Florence Night ingale, the founder of modern nursing, was born at Florence. Italy, in the high walled ramb- ling Villa Colombaia near tho Porta Romano. Her far see, ing, practial genius for. organi. zation and her dynamic, tireless personality revolutionized the care of the sick until today mil lions of soldiers and civilians sick in hospitals we'll may call her blessed.
 In testimony to that genius more than 210O trained nurses in California were enrolled for service n 1917-18 by the Pacific Division out of the 35, 1000 mob ilized by the Nationa American Red Cross during the war. Nearly 14OO of the number en- rolled in California went into active service either with the Army, the Navy or with Amer ican Red Cross Commissions to foreign countries, and 32 made the supreme sacrifice.
 The Florence Nightingale centenary will be celebrated in the Pacific, Division by Nurses Associations and Local Com !. mitiees on Red Cross Nursing Service. It will be given special prominence at the an- nual convention of the Cali. ofrnia State Nurses Association which meets in Los Angeles, May 1O-12.' Miss Lillian L.. White, president of the Califor- nia Nurses Association, who i5 also Director of the Department of Nursing in the Pacific Divis- icn of the American Red Cross, has designated the evening of May II for the Florence Night ingale program with Miss Flora Bradford special representative from the Division Department of Nursing as the principal speaker.
 It was in the thfobbing days of 1917 when the United States accepted the challenge of the war-mad masters of Germny that the work began by Flor, ence Nightingale reached it's: highest fruition and finest American womanhood respon. ded to the calf of the Red Cross for the grim tasks that lay ahead. These American nurseG have not needed the decoration of their own and foreign gov. ernments to prove them worthy followers of their Lady-in-chief who herself wore the Order of merit and the queens decora- tion.
 Florence Nightingale died a, the age of 90 in the afternoon of August 13, 1910, and was buried in the churchyard of East Yellow, near her'o1 home at Embly Park. although grate. full england offered to bury her among it's kings in Westminis- ter Abbey. Four years later the World war broke on startl- ed humanity and from England, Canada, Australia and espec- ially from the United States the disciples of Florence tNightin- gale laid aside their tasks in hospital and private home to don the uniform of, the war nurse. Thus: throughout 2, grateful world, Florence Night inrale's lamp burns brightly still. ,..5 .,. ..>..y-..
