In face of this threat Troy was quiet
to-day while twenty cars were op-
Grated over more lines and for a greater
distance than at any time since the

At all events since he. like Gov. Eo-

cile In New Jersey while his fame
spreads everywhere. he will be con-
vinced when he looks upon Tavistok
borough and club that in New Jersey
there are many ways Of thwarting blue
laws and their propagandists. just as
there are many methods of killing dogs

has not been told already. that the mere
mention OF his name was the magic
which sent the bill making Tavistok
borough headlong through both houses

And now that Tavistok is a borough

wise automobilists of the topography,

of the pen set himself on record as ia
yorable to outdoor sport and unfriendly
to those influences which deny reason
able man reasonable recreation on the
Sabbath.
The bill, designed to give Tavistok
borough self-contained existence upon
the landscape of Camden county. came
before the Governor after II had gone
with expedition through the two houses
of New Jerseys Legislature and after
the Governor had been advised that IT'S
solitary purpose was to permit the mem
bers of the Tavistok Country Club to
play golf on Sundays. The area and
boundaries of the borough are Identical
with those of the country club, and by
this simple expedient the members OF the

how Sunday shall be spent within bor-

attorney of this city. said last night he
had heard OF no objections Of the Wash

at Mount Vernon. He took issue also
with other statements made my George
Steptoe Washington of Philadelphia at
an address on Monday to the Colonial
Association Of Nazareth Hall. at Naza-
reth. Pa.
From the phrasing Of the address Mr..
Washington thought his kinsman had
mistaken the Mount Vernon burial plot
with that at Wakcley. Va. the Washing
ton birthplace, especially because of the
statement that the Washington family
still owned the Washington grave. and
could, II so desired. exclude the public
from viewing II.
AS to the names Of the Conrads ap-
pearing on shafts near the Mount Vernon
tomb the attorney said that these shafts
were situated some distance from the
tomb itself. He was certain no members
