TROLLEYS AT
FAULT
COMPETING WITH N. ]. GAS
RECORD

LAMBERTVILLE - Local people
who use the trolleys between this city
and Trenton had taste of the AFRO
gance of the trolley officials last Sun
day.
1t seems that new schedule is in
effect on the line. Nobody was ever
advised of it through the newspapers
or otherwise, but the officials knew of
it, and other people didn't matter.
There are no hourly cars leaving
Trenton for Lambertville at either
1890 or 1890 in the daytime, nor
$50 and 1890 in the evening, as pros
pective passengers who have waited
impatiently along the line can pro-
fanely testify.
There was goodly crowd awaiting
the departure of the 1890 A. M. car
Sunday, but none was ready to leave,
and the dispatcher informed the wait
ing passengers that none would run.
One man, bethinking himself of the
Mercer Omnibus line, which has been
unable to secure franchise to run
into Trenton, announced that he would
cross the street and make arrange
ments to have the whole crowd
brought to this city by auto, and for
less money.
1t took but moment for the troll
Icy officials to hustle a car out into
the yards and load it up for Lambert
vile, so the waiting passengers
arrived when they expected to after
all.
The trolley company very thought
fully removed the hourly cars at times
that no steam train leaves either city,
so that the disappointed passenger
cannot transfer his patronage else
where at that particular moment. But
what lots of them will do TO the troll
ley company I'M the way of absent
treatment hereafter will make some
more deficit sheets for, the manage
ments' perusal.

HARDING CALM
IN ADVERSELY

POINT ISABEL, Tex-President
elect and Mrs. Harding have shown
their hardihood and poise in the storm
they encountered last Saturday and
Sunday. They were attempting to
reach Brownsville over the little mar
row gauge railroad which is run by
gasoline engine, but the storm has
made the roadbed impossible. A cold
wind swent over the prairie and made
it impossible to keep the little passen-
ger coach warm with its one stove and
several broken window panes. But
Mr.. Harding smilingly accepted the
condition, and after many difficulties
returned to Point Isabel to wait for
a better chance to go to Brownsville.
The Hardings are to visit old friends
at Brownsville, R. B. Creager and
family, after which they will continue
their journey to Panama.

COAL CONDITIONS
IMPROVE

WASHINGTON-The National Coal
Association has issued a review of
the soft coal industry, which predicts
an average weekly production of 12,-
100000 tons. No Immediate short
age" is reported.
"Great manufacturing plants in
dire need of soft coal early in the fall
now have an ample supply on hand"
the review says. Public utilities
everywhere have had their immediate
wants filled, while many of them have
been able to provide stacks for the
winter"
In some places there have been a
decline in prices from rs to so per
cent" below prices which prevailed up
to six weeks ago." The main reason
for this has been the increased facili-
ties afforded by the railroads for
transportation.

Aged Citizen
Accidentally Killed

LAMBERTVILLE = Allen Moore,
one of the best known citizens of
this city, was found dead Tuesday
from a fractured skull at his farm
on the Rocktown Road, in West Am
we'll Township.
He had driven out to the place
Monday afternoon, as was his fire.
quent custom, and just before dark
a passing neighbor saw his horse
standing near the wagon house, but
thought nothing of it. Tuesday morn
ing he saw the horse still at the same
place and Investigated, finding MI.
Moore lying under a heavy cupboard
on the floor of the building.
Help was summoned and Coroner
Bumster notified, after whose arrival
the body was removed to the home of
the son with whom he resided, John
Moore, on Clinton street, this city.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Moore, who
was a carpenter and used to climb
ing around despite his 81 years, had
either attempted to climb to the top
of the cupboard for some object, or
made an effort to move it to another
position, when it toppled over on him,
fracturing his skull and probably kill
ing him instantly. A couple of years
ago he was thrown from his wagon
and so seriously injured that none of
his friends expected his recovery, but
he was soon around again apparently
about as well as ever. He followed
his trade of carpentry up to the day
of his death, having even done some
repair work Monday prior to going
out to the farm.
He is survived by several sons, but
his wife has been dead many years.
He was a familiar figure on the
streets and had legion of friends.
The funeral was held this morn
ing at IL o'clock at the home of his
son, John Moore, on Clinton street,
with the Rev. Edward A. Wells, pas
tor of Centenary NJ. E. Church, in
charge of the services. Interment IN

STREETS TO
BE REPAIRED
AsPHALTIC BINDER SECURED

LAMBERTVILLE - City Commits
sioner A. Wilson Muirheid, who is in
charge of the streets, has secured
some asphaltic binding oil and ex-
poets to begin the filling of holes in
the roadway as soon as it arrives.
He has been trying for some time past
to secure suitable material for this
purpose, but it was not available
sooner.
It is now expected that the city
will receive $4,000 from the state as
a return on moneys spent for improv-
ing Main, Bridge and York streets.
The state apportions the money
according to the amount of work done,
but for some time it was doubtful if
any help would be received locally.
Last year the city received $4,000
from the state.

PA. GUNNERS
MAY CAMP OUT

HARRISBURG, Pa.-For the con-
venience of sportsmen who want to
camp on state forest lands while hunt
ing this fall, Clifford Pinchot, Pennsyl-
vania's Chief Forester, has arranged
for the local foresters and forest
rangers to issue the necessary camp
permits. Heretofore the permits have
been issued only through the office OF
the Department Of Forestry at Har-
risburg.
Under the former plan there was
much delay and sometimes consider
able confusion in handling the rush
for camp sites just before the deer
hunting season opened. Now the gun
ners can go with their camping out
fits to the region they wish to hunt
over. and there procure the required
permit.
Nh. Pinchot's arrangement en-
powers the foresters and forest rang
ers to give permits for temporary
camps, good for three weeks and sub
ject to renewal. They may also allow
hunters to remain over night on state
forests by verbal permission. But
sites for permanent camps. lodges and
cabins are leased only through the
Harrisburg Office of the forestry de-
partment. Those leases are now good
for ten years, with renewal privileges.

Selling keokuk was the keynote of
tbe speech that David Daily made be-
for the Unity club this afternoon. Mr..
Daly. who is district manager for

very emphatic truths in regard TO
town building, in his talk today, and
he suggested that the Commercial club
and Industrial association be support
ed by large fund which would be
used to sell Keokuk to all prospective
factories and business enterprises.
Mr.. Daily spoke of the passing of
the old style of publicity where the
commercial clubs placarded the roads

and did all that sort OF thing The
new way to get industries and fac

pointed out the case OF Dallas, Hous.
