KAUFFMAN-SCOTT

George Kaufman, of lac Wolfe street,
Philadelphia, was married to Mrs. Lily
Scott, of lbs East Pine avenue this
city, at eight in the evening of We'd
nesday, June Is, 1921, in the Presby-
terrain Church, by the Rev. Mr.. Dough-
erty. 1t was a family wedding, only
about 20 people, all relatives or close
friends of the couple, were present.
Mr.. Ritter, the brother of the bride,
took it upon himself to see that the
wedding was celebrated in a roper
manner. He used to be a hotel pro-
prietor in Merchantville, so what he
didn't know about weddings and old
shoes and rice and things wasn't
worth knowing. On the wedding
party's automobile were various signs,
such as, Another poor sucker gone
wrong" etc. The newly married
couple were met at their home by
showers of confetti and lead through a
highly decorated doorway to the we'd
ding supper. Mr.. Ritter's Wildwood
home is at 120 East Andrew avenue
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman will stay in
Wildwood this summer, and at the
end of the eason they will tour in
the mountains. Mr.. Kaufman is a
machinist in the Philadelphia Navy
Yard and is down for his vacation.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

At twenty minutes past eleven last
Tuesday evening the fire whistle blew
two blasts and then five, and the fire
ladies hustled into their trousers and
very little else, and the good citizens
of Wildwood cranked up their ~fivvers,
that is, those who owned 1ivvers
cranked 'em, the rest rode "shank's
mare" and FASTENED to the scene of the
conf1agration. We all followed the
engines up Pacific and out Garfield
avenue as far as Garfield avenue ex-
tends.
Much disappointment was felt when
we discovered that it was only the
dump which had caught fire and was
making just as big a fuss over itself
as though it were the City Hall or
Rasnek's clothing store, or one of our
really beautiful public buildings.
Still, even if we were to undergo
the indignity of wearing our clothes
oyer our pajamas, it was good practice
for the fire department. At that,
though, they might have given us rain
checks.
An alarm from box 80 Wednesday
morning took the city fire department
to the plant of the gas company at
Holly Beach and Lincoln
where a slight fire in the roof was
soon extinguished by the assistance
OF the chemical and big ladder truck.
Little damage was done.
The dump fire called some of the
fremen out again shortly before noon
the same day on a phone call, the
wind blowing having shifted and en-
dangered houses in the vicinity. No
damage was done.

oil was to be used by the painters who
are To- engaged in painting the Pier
building. The contracting painters,
Dumont and Piexoto, write me, saying
that it will be impossible for them to
go on with their work if they are not
protected from this thief or thieves.

equipped door has been stolen from
the wash house of the Atlantic Baths.
This door was temporarily removed
from n of the stores on the board
walk and placed in the wash house
for safe keeping. 1t HAD the usual fit
ings, including a Yale lock.
In the Atlantic Pier building a beau
tiful and expensive soda fountain has
been entirely stripped and destroyed,
even the lead pipe taken from it.
During all this time every device
that ingenuity could invent was used

unless the doors were broken down,
and a thief OF thieves finally did break
down the doors.
The existence of this condition is not
only a menac to every property owner
on the island, but is a disgrace to
the city itself and a reflection on those
charged with the enforcement of the
law; and yet I learn that an attempt
is being made to remove some of the
commissioners because they desire to
have established a Court of Justice on
the island where these m~alefactors
a readily be punished.
1t would be to the everlasting honor
and glory of Wildwood if all its people
would suspend business for a single
day and devote the time hunting down
these miscreants. 1t should not be
difficult to locate the person or per-
sons guilty of these crimes, for these
things could not be taken far without
detection, and would, in all proba-
bility, be used by the person or per-
sons who stole them.

with a motion for delay by the OPP
posing legal battalion. All the motions
were based on the statement that the
state had denied defense lawyers &C
cess to records in the cases and that
requests for bills of particulars were

was impossible to gain adequate
knowledge of any particular case from
a study of the indictments. These, he
stated, were curious, interesting and
densely vague"
After motions for continuance had
been made on several indictments with
the lawyers taking turns in this form
OF sparring, Harris suggested that all
cases bd called up in September.
Meanwhile the state is to permit de-

especially the minutes of the Board of
Freeholders, which are said to be on

also given until July 10th to file a bill
of particulars with the counsel for the
defendants

who owns the Wadhams photo studio

had been tagged" for that offense in

MANY CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR

Much SPECULATION is now going the
rounds as to who Will be the candidate
for CITY Commissioners at the special
recall election TO be held on July lZtn.
All three present commissioners VIII
he candidates for reelection, but two
of them want the same job. The law
reouires that oficeholders at a recall
election cannot run for another office
without resigning from their present
most. Therefore, ex-Nayor F. E. Smith
has resigned as street commissioner
and his petitions are being circulated
to Mace his name on the ballot as a
candidate for mayor. Mayor Hendee
is also a candidate to succeed himself,
and new candidates having petitions
circulated or mentioned are E. YEN
ney and D. Miles Rigor.
For finance commissioner, Oliver
Bright will be a candidate to succeed
himself, and it is said George W.
Banks, of the Hotel Seacrest, will also
be a candidate for finance commits
sioner.
Uncle Bill" Pinker is the only cam
didate so far to circulate a petition for
street commissioner, so far as we can
learn Uncle Bill" is a former mem
Der Of the old Holly Beach Council and
served a number of years on the street
committee.
A slate mentioned by many was W.
COPYRIGHT Smith for Mayor, Alfred
Taylor for Finance Commissioner, and
Ralph CARL for Street Commissioner.
This combination, however, thus far
has not consented to run, owing, it is
said, to the fact that would-be politi-
clans wanted to be their sponsors for
which they would not stand.
