Failure Of the city officials to
give notice before making an ar
rest will probably spare w. J. Tai
ty. Fifteenth street clothier. and
Charles Deal. Jr.. charged with OBJ
structing traffic BY parking cars.
from paying heavy fines. The au-
tomobiles were parked in an alley
between Fifth and Sixth avenue
and Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets.
There appears to be no question
about the incident but reference to
city ordinances today showed that
no penalty may be inflicted II the
owner of the vehicle has not been
notified to move the same. No no.
tice was given either by the mayor
or the street commissioner.

RUM0R Of men
GIVING up IS
FOUND WRONc


Rumors, circulated In Aiedo this
morning to the effect that the
three men. after the murder Of
Robert Sweadngen. had surrend-
cred to an Iowa sheriff, was found
to be the outgrowth Of the report
ing to Sheriff Fleming Of three men
who had been In Aledo and left.
They were horsemen. who had TAX
en- part in the races at the Mercer
county fair and who had LETT early
in the evening.
After hearing Of the murder they
decided that rather than be sus-
picioned Of participation in the at
fair, they would. return to this city
and dispell all doubt of their inno-
cence. They telephoned Sheriff
Fleming from Iowa and told him
that they were returning to Aledo.
They arrived this morning ready to
present information. showing their
actions previous to the murder.
Coroner A. N. Mackay of Aledo

time Of the shooting have been
picked up and questioned In re-
CARDS to the affair. The principal
witness is Dan Laughlin Of Aledo.

crime was committed. He tells a
story OF . holdup by two young
men and the subsequent shooting
when Swearingen attempted to
thwart the plans of the bandits.
The automobile in which two OF
the men. who are thought to have
shot Swearingen, escaped with, was
discovered yesterday near Preemp-
ton. 1t is evident from the direc-
ton taken by the bandits, that they
were headed. for the tri-cities. All

Gov. Cox In Wilmington

James NJ. Cox, Democratic candidate
for President, spoke to a large crowd
IN Queen Theatre, Wilmington, Thurs
day morning for an hour, also made a
short address from an automobile on
5th Street.
Gov. Cox laid great stress on the
fact that most of the big RELIGIONS
gatherings in the past two years had
approved the League of Nations
Covenant. Article ten is nothing more
than an international agreement.
Thou shalt not steal"
All treaties made between nations
in the future must be filed as public
documents with the League.
A systematic reduction of arma-
ment is provided for the same as fire
arms are restricted to individuals.
Differences between nations must
be submitted for discussion before war
is declared.

A Splendid Address

The Every Mans Club had rs its
special guest this week DR.. Calvin O.
Althouse, a distinguished and gifted
scholar and brilliant speaker, of Phil
adelphia, the head of the Chamber Of
Commerce and of the Board of Public
Education. He spoke for fifty minutes
the "Vision of Manhood" and pict-
ured in graphic language the great
powers which safeguard a mar when
he has some worthy object to pursue.
Some ideal ever calling him higher;
some consciousness of things divine
which will enable his own nature to
be strong in gathered wisdom, in prac-
teal usefulness and in ~unselfish de-
votion to the common cause of his
neighbors. When he finished speak
ing every man arose instinctively and
respectfully stood with bowed head
until the doctor had taken his seat.
1t was a beautiful and touching
tribute to an unselish man whose wide
experience in this country and across
the sea has deepened his ties with all
manner of men.

Council

mates of receipts of money from vari-
Gus sources and the expenditures for
the different departments of the
Borough.
There are now on the books thou
sands of dollars of delinquent taxes
dating back over a period of several
years.
These back taxes are carried as an
asset but it is not known how much
Of this money can be collected, nor
how much of it is utterly lost, those
who owe the money having moved
away. This must be known in order
to cut the "duds" from the books and
not have them carried along as a live
assets.
This al only be accomplished by
a sale; so a resolution was passed that
the Collector be instructed to proceed
at once with a sale of property for all
delinquent taxes and have same COM
pleted within 30 days.
The Borough Clerk was also in
structed to deliver to the Collector the
audit of the Borough finances recently
compiled. This will furnish the Col
lector all the data necessary to pro-
coed with making a sale.
The next regular meeting of Coun-
ell will probably be held in the new
hall.

Political Notes

Harvey Hancock, of Lower Alloway
Creek Township, has come out as an
independent candidate for Freebooter
at the general election. The other
candidates are Joseph Pancoast, Re
publican, and Quinton K. Rankin,
Democrat.
Early next week the sample cleo
ton tickets will have been placed in
the mails for the voters of Salem
County and every one should carefully
read them and the instructions as how
they should be marked. This is very
important so that no ballot may be re-
jected at the general election, No
