Mr.. HALLAHAN WRITES WILD
WOOD, COMMISSIONERS OF
THIEVERY AT ATLANTIC
PIER
PHILADELPHIA, April 10, 1921.
The City Commissioners,
Wildwood. New Iersay

April 10, l9Zl.
The City Commissioners,
Wildwood, New Jersey.
DEAR SIRs A few years ago the
Atlantic Pier Building was closed. AT
that time it contained everything
necessary for conducting an ice cream
and soda water business, including a
a first class soda water fountain. The
doors and windows were fastened in a
way that it was thought impossible for
any n to enter.
Since that time the personal property
left in the building has been wantonly
destroyed or consistently stolen. Among
the things stolen we're a clock about
three feet high, the cash register, a
~wheelbarrow, an electric motor, and
many other things SO large that they
could not be taken far without attract
ing attention.
Every season this building has been
securely locked, and every year it has
been robbed and property wantonly
destroyed.
AT the end of last season special
efforts were made to keep out the
thieves. Doors and windows were
barricaded and double locks put on
some Of the outside doors; but the real
windows were smashed and the thieves
entered. Within the past sixty days
two cases containing doll babies were
broken open, the contents stolen and
paper and straw spread around in such
a way that the building might easily
be set on fire. A rear window was
smashed to effect an entrance; two
boards were pried from the front plat
form, so that persons might step into
the opening and be injured. Within
the past week one of the front window
lights was broken In.
AT the Atlantic Baths, adjoining the
pier building, within the past two
weeks the wash room door was forced
open, the large washing machine dis
connected and the motor stolen.
There are few people whose criminal
Instincts are such as to cause them to
commit the above depredstions, and L
am quite SURE that by a careful investi-
cation the city authorities will have
little trouble in laying their hands on
the culprit or culprits.
l will give fifty dollars (S50.00) re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of
the person or persons who broke into
the Atlantic Baths, as above, diecon-
nected the washing machine and sto lie
the electric motor; and 1 would suggest
that the citizens of Wildwood and the
nonresident property owners combine
with a view to driving from the island
m~alefactors like the above and landing
them in Trenton jail.
By giving the above your attention
you will favor, yours very truly,
D. F. HALLAHAN.

In The Spring Your Blood
Needs a Tonic
Winter Weakens Blood, Makes Faces
Pale. Take GUIDES PeptO- MdngdT
The BEST KNOWN BLOOD TONIC
DrOWSy Spring-FeVer Feeling That
Comes From Sluggish Blood
Will Soon Leave You

AS all growing things on earth shoot
into new life in Springtime, so do the
billions of cells that make up each part
of the body renew their vigor.
AS you open the windows, breathe
the Spring air, and let in the sunshine,
the red corpuscles in your blood should
carry more oxygen to the tiny cells.
The red corpuscles are tiny die
shaped particles, swimming in n r.
NOUS numbers IN the blood. They carry
oxygen to cells in all parts of the body,
and they carry away worn-out waste
matter. Sometimes, especially in the
Spring, after the winter indoors and
more or less sickness, the red cOrpuscles
themselves needs rebuilding. Guides
Pepto-Mangan contains just the in
gradients to give them greater power TO
absorb oxygen and to distribute il
throughout the body.
That is why it is such a good Spring
tonic. 1t helps so much to bring back
color to cheeks made pale and wan hy
the necessary indoor winter life. 1t
adds to the number of red corpuscles.
With fine Spring days and Guides
Pepto-M angan you gain in vigor and
attain good health.
Don't go around drowsy this Spring.
Take that good tonic, GUIDES Pepto-
Mangan. You can get 1t III tablet form
or in liquid form at your druggists.
Both forms have the same medicinal
value. Insist upon genuine Guides

ULSTER,S PREMIER
ACCEPTS INVITATION
Will Go to London to Consult on Ques-
tions Connected with Irish
Settlement.

London, Nov. 2 tBy the Associated
Press Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier, has accepted the government s
invitation, dispatched yesterday, to
come to London and consult it as to
listers attitude toward the proposals
ncgarding the Ulster boundary and
other questions involved in the Irish
settlement plan.
Sir James. it is stated, is coming to
London to discuss specific plans sub
mitted to the government by the Sim
Fein, of such character that the GOV
ernment thinks them feasible if Ulster
agrees to them. These plans do not,
however, embody any agreement def
nitely reached between the govern
ment and the SinR Fein.
The Ulster premier has said through
out that he would not intervene until
such an agreement was reached, but
has now consented TO discuss the pro.
visional proposals.

VETERAN QUARRY
OPERATOR DEAD
Pliny 0. Wheaton, Son and Grandson
Of Barre Quarry Owners, Passed
Away To-day.

Pliny o. Wheaton, a descendant OF
one Of the early quarry operators ~
Barre and himself engaged in the bust
ness for many years, died at 2;3o
clock this morning at his residence IN
the Wheaton quarry district, Barre
Town, after having been in poor health
for five years following a shock. he
had been able to engage in work until
the middle of last August. His death
occurred in the house in which ne was
born nearly so years ago. !,
Mr.. Wheaton was the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Oren Wheaton and was born june
s, lS42. He grew to manhood in Barre
and his footsteps turned naturally IN
the direction Of his fathers and his
grandfather's occupation, that OF quar-
rving granite. The so-called Wheaton
quarry on the northeast side Of Cobble
hill gets its name from that family.
Oren Wheaton had succeeded to the
business carried on by his father, Pliny
Wheaton, and it was natural that
Pliny O. Wheaton should continue the
business.
During their control of the Wheaton
quarry, the elder Wheatons had made
name for themselves by turning out the
stone for the State House in Montpei-
ier. being paid 800 year for the stock
needed in building the Capitol. besides
furnishing material for other construc-
tion work. In those days Milestone hill
the scene Of the present vast quarrying
operations. was lying in its original
form. with its tremendous rock forma
tion untouched by the hand OF man.
Cobble Hill was the source Of Barre
granite in those days, and it is stiil
turning out stone for various purposes
but small in proportion to the output
of the Milestone hill region.
Pliny @. Wheaton carried on quarry
ing operations for approximately 30
years and he furnished the stone for
many building jobs in Barre and virin-
ity. The granite used in the congrc-
gational and Catholic churches, the
Spaulding high school and the Wood,
Bolster and Worthen blocks came from
his quarry.
Mr.. Wheaton was a more on less re-
tiring man and did not enter into pub
lie life although he was recognized as
good citizen and man of integrity. He
was married Sept. u, 1869, to Hattie
r. Barnes, daughter of Elijah and
Sarah Barnes of Chelsea. Three daugh-
ters were born TO them, as follows:
Helen. who died in 1908; Fannie, who
died in 1914, and Alma, the wife Of
CLAYTON Collins, who resides in Marsh
field. and who has two daughters, En-

tablished itself in the block.

for some time looking to the purchase
of the property, and hearing was held
Monday OF this week before Chancellor

KILLED SELF
BY HANGING
Louis Teller, Star Golfer,
Ended Life on Blae
Burn Course
BODY WAS FOUND
IN SHELTER HOUSE
I'll Health Is Believed to
Have Been Re-
sponsible

Newton. Mass, Nov. 3.--The body of
Louis Teller, Massachusetts, open golf
champion, was found to-day hanging
by a small rope in shelter on the
links Of the Brae Burn Country club.
The medical examiner and the police
said death was due to suicide.
The motive for suicide was not
known, but the fact that Teller had
not been well for some time was ad-
vanced by friends as a possible ex-
planation.
Teller came to this country from
France in 1913 to play in the national
golf championship tournament at the
Country club, Brookline. That club
subsequently engaged him as its resi-
dent professional and he stayed there
until he went to the Brae Burn toun-
try club as professional three years
ago.
Teller was one Of the best known
professional golfers IN the country,
and one Of the highranking players
nationally. He had won no titles,
however, until the Massachusetts open
championship tournament, which he
captured this fall.
In France Teller had actsd as pro-
fessional at the La Boulie Golf club,
near Paris. before coming here. He
was brother in law Of Wilfred Reid,
now golf professional at Whining
ton, Del, and who, as an Englishman,
had preceded Teller at I.aBoulie.
