Jersey Lightning Twice
In "a Hours Hits Capitol
Bolts Sputter Into State House,
Start Fire and Destroy
a Motor

TRENTON, N. j., June 28.-For the
second time within twenty-four hours
the State House here was struck by
lightning to-day, A bolt found sixty
foot chimney and shot down into an
engine room. Lightning yesterday en-
tered an elevator shaft and was carried
down to the Capitol's basement to an
elevator motor. A fire resulted which
was extinguished with difficulty. The
motor was destroyed.
The lightning to-day probably was
attracted by steel coping around the
rim of the chimney. The lightning de-
stroyed a skylight and played tag in
the machinery in the boiler room.
Mechanical equipment suffered no dam
age.

ANOTHER MOB COURT

, If there is anything which smack
of the mob spirit it is the mob court
We have had special terms of cour
called in this state in the past to try
cases while the people were yet ex
cited and before reason and common
prudence had had time to reassert
themselves. And we are to have an
ether term of court of this character
this time at St. Matthew'S.
The jury may be composed of good
men, as other juries called under the
same circumstances have been, but
we believe the verdict which may be
rendered in the case will be entitled
to about the same respect as the YER
dict of the mob. Not only will the
verdict in itself not command the re-
spect of the people, but the calling of
courts at the behest of the excited,
and when people are crying for blood,
will tend to bring the whole admins
tration of the law into disrespect.
There are in most counties three,
in some of them more, terms of
court. These terms of court are call
ed at stated intervals fixed by the
legislature. The sober and prudent
lawmakers of the country have pro-
vided these terms, so that men charg-
ed with crimes may not be rushed to
judgment before the people have had
time to think and reflect. In times
past it has been the custom of judges
to continue cases where there is a
great deal of prejudice in order that
reason and justice might have a
chance to reassert themselves.
But not so now. We are COM
promising with the mob these days.
And we so compromise with the mob
although the person to be tried is
safe in the walls of prison and there
is no chance that he will not be tried
by the orderly conduct of the courts
Surely the state does not cry for the
blood of a victim. We should not be
willing to take the life of even the
worst culprit in the land except al
such time and in such way that the
judgments of the court may seem
deliberate. There is no reason why
an extra term of court should be call,

1DRIVES ON ARMY
GAINING FORCE
Steps Towards Reduction Taking
FormeBus One Amendment

Washington, Feb. 3.-A definite
step toward reduction of the regu-
lar army to 100000 men was taken
today when the house approved an
appropriation sufficient only for the
maintenance of force Of that size
during the fiscal year beginning
July 1.
The action was taken after at
erpt had failed to amend the
army appropriation bill to provide
for 175,000 enlisted men and to de-
crease the number of officers from
$4,000 to approximately 5000.
The instant the section of the bill
appropriating funds for the pay of
enlisted men during the coming fis-
cal year was reported a dozen rep
resentatives were on their feet
clamoring for recognition. Amend
ments came pouring IN, and for an
hour members revived the small ar
my versus large army debate that
has enlivened many a session of
congress. The net result, however,
was success for the efforts of the
appropriations committee to keep
the measure practically intact, all
amendments being voted down ex-
cept one by Representative Johnson,
Republican, of South Dakota, au-
thorizing the discharge from the
army of youths under 1S years of
age on their application or at the
request of their parents or guard
ians. AT the request of Representa-
tive Wingo, Democrat, of Arkansas
the house voted to grant such lads
honorable discharges.
The appropriation bill carries as
amended s72,618,659 for the pay of
enlisted men during the IL months
beginning July 1. This amount is
sufficient for a force of 100000 ac-
cording to Representative Anthony
of Kansas, chairman of the appro-
priations subcommittee which
framed them easure.

ed either in Abbeville or in St. Mat
thews for the trial of one case. We
had hoped that Governor Cooper had
learned by this time that the calling
of these courts was not approved by
the justice loving people of the state.
May we not hope that the Judges of
the state will refuse, in the future,
to put a man on trial at one of these
courts where the man to be tried may
not be expected to obtain fair trial.

AMERICAN SILK MEN
FEAR THE JAPANESE

Washington, Feb. 3.-Asking res
toration of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
rates on silk, manufacturers of that
cloth told the House ways and
means committee today that they
were alarmed" at the increasing
ability of the Japanese to copy rare
patterns which had enabled them to
make heavy inroads on American
trade. Before the war, manufacture
ers said, the Japanese were handi-
capped, however, witnesses declared
this is rapidly disappearing and un"
der stimulus of greater export sales
japanese weavers have enlarged the
industry to such an extent that Am
erican dealers in silk fear destruc-
tion of their business.

PHILIP ROSENBERG

The citizens of Abbeville generally
have not been slow to assist in
movements looking to the upbuilding
of this community. But without dis
paraging the efforts and accomplish
ments of others, it may be said that
there are in every community few
men whose numbers may be countd
on the fingers of two hands, who are
the real leaders in community's well
fare and progress.
And what is true in other commu-
mites is true in Abbeville. And if
today you asked a hundred men in
Abbeville who are acquainted with the
history of the city for the past twen-
ty-fve years to name five men who
have rendered most conspicuous SER
vice to the city in that time, we be-
ieve all of them would include Philip
Rosenberg In that hve.
He left his own native land and
came here to make his home. And no
native born son loved his country, his
state, and his home city better than
Philip Rosenberg; none was more in
terested in its progress, nor in the
well-being of its people. A man of
big heart and generous impulses, he
contributed to every good cause; a
man of broad vision and good busi-
ness judgment, he went forward to
success while others hesitated; good
citizen himself, he reared fine fam
ily-among them three sons who will
take the places made vacant by the
death of their father and the death
of their grandfather These young
men have already shown that the work
for the city begun by the elders will
be carried on by the present genera
ton.
The city Of Abbeville can ill afford
TO lose citizens of the worth of Mr..
Rosenberg, but there is consolation in
the fact that he leaves behind him
those who will carry on his work.

MYERS POLIAKOFF HURT

Myers Poliakoff, young son of Mr..

hurt yesterday at the Fairgrounds
of the Graded Scnool. One of the
pupils had been swinging and when
he left the swing and turned it
,oocc, It struck Myers just above the
eye. A deep cash was cut and it was
necessary to take several stitches III
order to close up the wound. The
young man was pretty sick last
night, but this morning he is better
and no serious trouble is anticipated
from the injury.

old maiden ladies, a house and its
