BERTHS DELAYED
Appointment Of Two New Vice
chanceIIors in Jersey Believed
of Until January
NO MONEY FOR SALARIES

Atlantic City, Sept. 2.-Appointmen'
Of the two new Vice Chancellors under
authority granted by the last Legisla
ture to handle increasing litigation in
North and South Jersey will not be
made until some time \" January, II
was officially announced yesterday. In
authorizing the new Offices the Legis-
lature failed to make an appropriation
OF SIS, 900 to cover the salaries, and
until the new lawmaking body con.
venes after the first Of the year and
takes such action Chancellor Walker
has announced that he will not make
selections.
1t is conceded in political and legal
circles that the two appointees prob
ably will be Judge Robert II. Ingersoll,
OF the county court here, for the South
Jersey berth, and former State Senator
Henry f. Ackerson, Of Monmouth
County, now n member of the Court OF
Appeals. Judge Ingersoll is a Repub-
lican and Senator Ackerson Demo-
crat.
Reports had been circulated that the
appointments were to be made next
Tuesday. 1t is understood that Gov
ernor Edwards has thrown his support
to Senator Ackerson and would make
necessary funds available from the
executive emergency fund. He is
friendly to the Ingersoll appointment
because that would open the way for
the naming Of Democrat to the
county bench here and strengthen the
party in Atlantic County, where 1t has
been weak for years because the over
whelming Republican majority has cut
down patronage.

AMBASSADOR HERRlCK GETS
A HOME IN PARIS AT LAST
Signs Lease on Palatiai Mansion Of
Prince de Broalie

Paris, Sept. 2.-The American Am
bassador, Myron 7. Herrick. has finally
found a Paris residence after n search
of month and half, during which
the Ambassador and the members of
his staff. who assisted him, dcspaired of
obtaining suitable quarters for an am
bassadorial home.
Mr.. IIerriCk has signed n lease fo;
the palatal mansion of Prince and
Princess Jacques dc Broglie, at 10 Ave-
nue. de Messine. Although the Ambas-
sador would not reveal the amount paid
it is learned that the sum represents
a substantial fortune in France.
The mansion, which Is one Of the
most beautiful in the exclusive Monceau
Park quarter, is in sharp contrast with
the simple country villa which Mr..
Herrick has been occupying at Garches,
near st. Cloud. Since his arrival on
July IA the Ambassador has been forced
to live outside Paris in a house which
was originally taken by his son, Par
mely Herrick.
The Ambassador difficulty in finding
home has been sympathetically fol-
lowed by Parisians and the press, the
latter referring to him as 1.-THE home
less Ambassador. French officials also
assisted in the search for a home.

Miss Alice Agnew, Bankers

the neck by bullet yesterday while
horseback riding with her brother, Rea
Agnew, on their fathers estate. Wenga
Farms, in Armonk. a suburb Of White
Plains.
The bullet penetrated the leshy part
oil the neck just below the base OF the
skull. intlictinR a slight wound. Miss
Agnew was removed to the Presbyte-
rian Hospital, where the bullet was re-
moved by DR.. Hugh Auchincloss.
Although Miss Agnew. who is fond
Of athletics and has developed into an
expert eQuestrienne. was riding between
her brother and coachman Of the
estate when she was wounded. none
heard a shot. The young woman felt
d stinging pain in the back of her neck
and, thinking she had been stung by
an insect, put her hand back to find
she was bleeding profusely. She was
helped from her horse by her brother
and the coachman and walked to a cot
tage at one end of the estate. From
there n telephone message was sent 70
Mrs. Agncw, the girls mother. in tho
main house on the estate.
Rea Agnew spent the entire after
noon aiding a detachment Of State
troopers under command of Sergeant
McGarvey In searching the surrounding
countryside. Every person known to
possess a rife was questioned. but all
established beyond doubt that they could
hot have done the shooting.
The only conclusion the State troop
ers have been able to come to is that
some vacationst who possessed rifle,
probably of United States Army de-
sign, was trying 1t out in what he
thought to be a secluded spot.

The sun shining through the broad

LEASES COMPRESS PROPERTY
FOR STORING COTTON

J. W, Clark, who has just opened a
cotton Office at Port Gibson, this week
leased the compress warehouse for
the purpose Of storing cotton. G. b.
Tillman has been engaged to handle
the cotton for Mr.. Clark. Both men
being well known and having a large
number of friends throughout the
county, they win no doubt do good
business.
The compress warehouse has long
been q matter of concern to the busi-
ness men Of the community. It was
the purpose Of the old compress own
ers to demolish the building when the
others were razed, but through an ef-
fort Of the business interests, it has
been preserved. An effort was made
to buy it for cotton storage room
several months ago, and consider
able sum was promised for the pur-
pose, but because of a disagreement
among the proposed purchasers, the
venture fell through.

sion. We are greatly indebted to Mr..
Anderson for his splendid address and
his sincere interest in Chamberlain
Hunt Academy.
Judge r. d. Gage, President of the
Port Gibson Bank, who makes a good

boys and made most earnest appeal
to them to make good, and to take
advantage of every opportunity to fur
ther their education. He appealed to
the people of Port Gibson to cooper
ate with the Academy in every way
to make the school the best possible.
Mr.. Martin Magruder, Cashier Of

words of welcome to the boys, and
urged them to enter into the school
spirit which means so much in school
life. The pastors of the various
churches in the city of Port Gibson

to the respective churches.
There were a host of visitors from

Chamberlain-Hunt Academy stands
for the right, and it is the wish Of the
administration that the right prevail
in everything. We realize that we
make mistakes, we all do, and we want
to ask this Of the people of Port Glib
SOM if at any time you hear some
thing or see something that you con-
slider not in accordance with the best
interests of the school, do not tell
your neighbor, but come to US and in
form us, and if it Is thing that can
and should be corrected, it will be
done. We invite criticism, and we
hope you will criticise us, in case you
find reason to do so, constructively
and not destructively.

BEING STRAIGHT.

Nothing can come Of it--not being
straight.
The blossoms and beauty and good
ness Of fate
Are born for the lowly, the humble
and wise
Who keep the clean faith Of the in
finite skies,
And manly and upright in honor Of
deed
Make living life straight the real core
Of their creed.
Nothing can come Of it--not being
right.
The Joy Of the laughter and music
ana light
Are made for the fellows who stand
in the sun
And are never ashamed of the things
they have done,
And are proud to have battled with
self and come through
AS sweet and as clean and as fresh
as the dew.
Nothing can come Of it--not being
square.
The birds and the blossoms, the trees
and the air
Are meant for the strugglers who
stand forth and cry
They've right TO look up with then
face TO the sky,
For with them the old justice and
kindness and truth
Have kept them clear-hearted in old
age and youth.
