Barnegat Lighthouse
Is Officially Doomed

Philadelphia, March 23.-Barnegat
lighthouse. one of the most widely
known beacons on the Atlantic
coast, is to go. The Lighthouse Bu-
reau at Washington has decided Il
would cost too much to save the
structure and il will be replaced
probably by a lightship and a bea-
con light at the mouth of Barnegat
Bay. The decision of the Washing
ton authorities was made known to
a committee of citizens who had ap-
pealed to the bureau to save the
property. which is worth s150,000.
The lighthouse, which is the last
that transatlantic travellers see
when they leave American shores
for Europe over the southern route
and the first that is observed on the
!oyage TO this country, has been un-
dermined steadily in recent months
by shifting tiles.

GIRL AND BOYS MISSING.
Martha Carruth of Brattleboro Escapes
at Vergennes-Left in Night, Police
Are Told.

Information has been received by
Chief of Police George Wilson, that Miss
Martha Carruth, who was sent from
Brattleboro to the Industrial school in
Vergennes last September, has escaped
from the institution.
She left Sunday night, after dark,
and with her were two boys who were
sent to the school to remain until they
were u. None of the particulars We're
received here, except descriptions of the
boys.
Miss Carruth was l6 years old Feb. %.
She was sent to the Industrial school
Sept. 20. 1919, by Judge A. +. Cudworth
of the municipal court to remain until
of age, which would be Feb. %, 1922.
On Oct D. 1918, S. A. Crossman, who
had charge over her, complained to the
municipal court, juvenile branch, that
the girl was 'incorrigibe, and persists in
wandering about the streets in the night
time, and persists in associating with
evil-mindcd persons, and is growing up in
crime"
The girl was brought into court Oct.
20, 1918, and was remanded to the GUS
tody of Mr.. and Mrs. Crossman. She
secured work as telegraph messenger
here, and last fall she stole garments
from two Brattlcboro stores. The arti-
clcs were recovered and were returned
to the merchants.
She later hired a horse and carriage
under an assumed name ostensibly to 90
to Putney, but instead she drove to
Winchendon, Mass, where Sheriff Frank
l.. Wellman and other officers found her
with the team and brought her back to
Brattlcboro.
1t appeared that the only thing to do
was to send her to the Industrial school
for the rest of her minority, which was
done Sept. 30, 1919, the girl being taken
to the institution by Deputy Sheriff Fred
Cressy.

traced to the wood yard at the S. a
