AFTER SUSPECT

On Tuesday afternoon last, A. Rob-
lice of Moorestown, received a quiet
"tip'' that the negro, Louis Lively, who
committed the atrocious crime and
murdered the child, Matilda Russo,
of Moorestown, was lurking in the
vicinity of Cape May Court House,
where it is understood he has some
relatives. Mr.. Broadwater got into
telephone communication with Ellis
Parker, Burlington County detective,
and the description of the negro tall
lied infinitely. Detective Parker in
formed Mr.. ~Broadwater to apprehend
the negro if possible and a party, con-
sisting of E. R. Austin and Albert D.
Austin (who placed his new Chandler
car at the disposal of Mr.. Broadwater) ,
started for Cape May Court House.
Arriving there they got in touch with
Mead Tomlin, sheriff, who Joined in
the search. After patrolling the out
skirts of the county seat they secured
enough information to convince them
selves that they were on the right
scent and that the negro had been in
that locality and eve worked in a
potato patch as late as last Teusday.
However, night coming on the party
returned to Wildwood and left the
matter in charge of Sheriff Tomlin,
who continued the search far into the
night. While there, a telegram was
received from County Detective Parker
that he was on his way to capture his
quarry.

ing space will be sold. Charles A.
RossKam formerly was the Wildwood
representative of the Continental peo-
pie, but as other matters pressed him
so strongly he had to turn over the
position to Mr.. Anderson.
The meeting adjourned at twenty
minutes past three to meet again at
ten o'clock the next day.
When interviewed by a representa-
tive of the Journal regarding his
views on Commissioner Smiths resig-
nation, Mayor Hendee said with digni-
fed calm: I'D like to beat - out
of him! Smiths motto is to rule or
good government has no place on the
Wildwood Board of Commissioners.
Mr.. Smith did the best thing by re-
signing"
The letter from Mr.. Durham re-
ferred to above, addressed to Mayor
Hendee, is as follows:
"As a resident of the said city. also
a builder, 1 desire to inform you and
protest against the careless and negli-
gent manner Of your building inspec-
tor and fire chief; as by his negligence
he is putting in jeopardy the lives Of
our citizens and visitors, as 1 have
personally inspected the building now
nearly completed by F. E. Smith for
Dare Brothers on East Poplar avenue,
and find that both chimneys are not
built according to your ordinance in
regards to chimney work. I find that
there are pieces of terra Gotta lining
in front of the chimney holes on some
of the floors, resting on nails, and on
the third floor toward Atlantic avenu
there is none whatever.
The building code provides and says
that all chimneys must be lined with
flu lining from foundation to top of
chimney. 1 believe this is a dangerous
condition and should be given atten-
ton by your honor at once. And I
would further suggest that you have
all the buildings under construction
examined at once as l fear and know
the building code in regard to Chin
neys has been further violated, which
endangers not only the properties, but
also the lives of our citizens and WISH
tors. And as our building inspector
is also fire chief, l am certainly sur
prised that he would permit violations
of this character in our building laws.
Trusting that you will give this mat
ter immediate attention before some
thing happens and that l may not be
compelled to take this matter up with
fire underwriters and the officials at
Trenton.

Ever since the two Italian liners
Regina DItalia and the San Rossore

a splendid time with lots OF fun fish

was not so good as it has been ow-
ing 20 the pastime coming under the
supervision Of Uncle Sam, who now
has some six, possibly more blue
coated. brass buttonod customs in
spectors on each ship. In addition
10 dozens of lines hanging over the
sides of the ships Il was noticed that
numerous small boats Of almost all
sizes and build were literally swarm
ing around the two liners.
A little watching is said 10 have
disclosed the modus operandi. A
line thrown from the ship came back
with a dollar on the end and soon
thereafter left the deck Of the ship
laden with a quart bottle OF Cognac
brandy. Sometimes I HI liquor
brought more. Sometimes less, q
all depending upon the buyer and
the seller and a few other conditions
But why mention IL, as since noon
yesterday it has been a thing Of th'
past.
