UNABLE TO IDENTIFY MUMMY
Quandary as to Disposition of
"OId Jimmy"

One of London's problems at the
present hour is what to do with a
mummy that lies at the back Of the
Mansion house in one of the Oldest
churches of that ancient city. No one
knows where it came from, and the
jocular element around the Mansion
house describe it as "Old Jimmy-a
former lord mayor of London" The
rector is in a quandary over its dis
posal. The figure is perfectly pre-
served; eyes, hair, nose, teeth, nails
and ribs.
Inside the door of the mummy's box
is a glass lid, which was removed a
few days ago for the first time for
many years. The mummy was covered
with cobwebs, but was still in good
condition. 1T feels like leather" said
an onlooker as he touched "Old jim
my's" elastic ribs. The rector invites
suggestions from the public as to what
to do with the mummy. The mystery
as to its identity arises from the fact
that during the great London fire in
1866 it was hurriedly removed from
another church and placed where il
now lies so as to escape the ravages
of the conf1agratiOn.

TRAMP'S PLEA THAT FAILED
Splitting and Hacking" Proposed
by Farmers Wife.

Lawson Purdy, secretary of char
ity organization, said in a brilliant
address on clarity in New York:
Charity bestowed on the profess
sional beggar is worse than wasted.
A gaunt scarecrow with a red nose
knocked at the back door of farm
house one bitter December day.
"'Charity, lady, he croaked. Char

Here he coughed dismally.

Oppose Jersey Dry Dock.

The shipping interests of Philadel-
phia represented by the Vessel Owners
and Captains Association, the Tugboat
Owners Association, the Masters,
Mates and Pilots Association and the
Independent Piers Company are all
said to be opposed to a dry dock on the
New Jersey side of the Delaware, but
agree on the Hog Island site.
The ice in the vicinity of the Horse
shoe this winter, Captain Martin of
the Tugboat Association says, ought to
convince anybody that the New Jersey
side is not the place for dry dock.

County Tax Board Upheld.

Holding that the county tax boards
of Hudson and Essex counties proper
ly included certain property of the
Public Service Gas Company in the
classification exempt from the general
state tax act, the State Board of Taxes
and Assessments, in opinions by Presi-
dent Frank B. Jess, affirmed findings
of the two county boards under which
Newark and Harrison sought to have
assessments increased.
The cases involved application of
the tax act of 1918 and 1919, imposing
d tax on gross receipts

Movie Bill Hearing.

Picturing the evils that would result
from passage of Senator Smiths bill
legalizing Sunday movies, former Sena-
tor James Hammond of Trenton told
the judiciary Committee of the senate
at a public hearing that the children
would see "Theda clothed in pleasant
smile and few beads of perspiration,
and then all the religion taught the
child at Sunday school would be knock
ed into a cooked hat"
The hearing on the bill brought out
the same vigorous arguments that have
marked the hearings on bills for lib
eralizing the Sabbath for these many
years. The advocates of the measure
We're representatives of the labor or
CARNATIONS and of the moving picture
industry. Those opposed were the min
listers and representatives of the
churches.
Senator Hammond charged that
100000 yearly for the movie men and
was purely a mercenary measure
Mayor Gillen of Newark was an advo-
cate of the measure and told what it
would mean for the laboring classes.
The mayors city received a terrible
assault at the hands of Rev. F. W.
Johnson of Newark, who charged that
Newark is a city of thieves and rob-
bers. A man is not safe in walking
the streets with 50 bill in his pocket.
! The policemen escort their friends
| home when they are out at night"
The minister represented the Lords
Day Alliance and was led to make the
attack because of the fact that the
mayor allows Sunday movies and en-
tertainments at the present time.
This charge was soundly condemned
by former Assemblyman John A Mat
thews of Newark. He resented the
statement and said that the methods
of those opposed to the bill were I'M
fair. Answering the word picture of
one of the opponents of the bill that
the Pilgrims landed on the shores of
New England and then while on their
knees dedicated the land to the cause
| of Christ Mr. Matthews said:
"And when they got up from their
knees, they went out and killed the
Indians and stole the land from them"
Memories of the old oyster battles
of years ago were recalled in the as
sembly chamber when, for three hours,
the Committee on Game and Fish gave
a hearing upon Senator Browns bill
repeating the law of 1917, by which
grounds in Raritan river, Staten Island
sound and Newark bay have been
bers of the Department of Shell Fish
cries, which grants the leases, vigor-
ously fought the repeater.

was their duty to see that faithful, eff

bill was defeated as two Republicans
! joined the Democrats in opposing it.
Mr. Rowland, however, took steps to
recover the measure on reconsidera-
ton, hoping to gather enough votes
| later.
Senator Heath, of Mercer, got
through the Senate his bill providing
for commission of three to cooperate
with a commission from Pennsylvania
in operating iceboats between Trenton
and Philadelphia to keep the Delaware

Bill in a Salary Bill.
1t was discovered that the Senate in
passing the salary boosting bill for the
Supreme and Chancery Courts had
also boosted the salaries of the Circuit
Judges from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
was intended to limit this increase to
$4,000, but the bill as passed carries
the larger item and it will be necessary
to recall the measure and amend it.
The salaries of the Supreme Court
Justices and Vice Chancellors are rails
ed from $4,000 to $4,000 under the
bill.
Former Speaker Pierson made a
futile drive against Assemblyman
David Young's bill allowing counties
to increase their bonding power from
to per cent of their taxables, and
1t was passed Mr.. Young made a
valiant fight for his measure, claiming
that the counties very greatly needed
the added bonding facilities to make
improvements, especially on public
roads Mr.. Pierson charged that sew
eral counties have gone the limit of
their credit and face a serious tinan-
cial situation as a result, and he said
the tax burden of the people is already
so heavy as to cause thoughtful men
to pause in wonderment as to when
the crash is to come. 1t was time, he
declared with emphasis, to call halt
upon the debt load of the municipali-
ties.
The Senate passed Senator B. H.
Whites bill allowing travelling men
and others obliged to be away from
home to register by mail for the cleo
ton. 1t also passed Senator Reeves
bill increasing the salary of the di-
rector of shell fisheries from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year.
Governor Edwards approved Senator
Sturgess' bill incorporating the bor-
ough of Glassboro AS it carries a ref
erendum, special election will now be
called to take the vote of the people
in the affected part of the township.
The assembly got down to the real
grind and passed a large number of
bills, including these: By Mr.. Rowland,
placing employees of water depart
mentS under tenure of office; by Mr..
Shields, requiring the removal from
roadsides of brush, weeds and other
harmful growth under direction of the
road supervisor; by Mr.. Roberts, per-
hitting counties to establish free pub
lie libraries.

There was another political scrap in

tended to keep the secretaries of coun-
ty boards of taxation in their jobs de-
spite political changes in government,
Leader Barrett leaped on the bill for
the Democrats, declaring it was poor

a Democratic governor has the power
to make these county boards become
Democratic and they would no doubt

coming toward the city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lloyd Jacobs, accompanied by Mr..

ward Boscobel. 1t seems that in pass
ing the Richmond car struck the
Jacobs car with such force as to
throw Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. Ruste out
of the car up onto the bank and at the
same time wreck the Richmond car to
quite an extent Some of the occu-
pants of both cars were quite badly
bruised and all were we'll shaken but
no one reviewed serious injury which
was indeed fortunate
