ILL. GOVERNOR
INDICTED

Illinois provide. a sensation of con-
siderable magnitude through the in
dictment of her governor, Len Small,
and lieutenant governor, Fred E. Ster-
ling. These officials, together with
Verne Curtis, banker, are accused of
fraud, conspiracy and embezzlement Of
state funds, the alleged crimes being
committed, according to the charges,
when Small and Sterling held the po-
sition of state treasurer. Briefly, it is
charged that Small and Sterling made
loans of millions of dollars of state
funds to Curtis so-called bank, which
had not functioned as a bank since
1908; that Curtis purchased with the
money short-time notes of the Chicago
packers which uetted him about s per
cent interest; that the state received
only 2 per cent on the loans made to
Curtis, and that the accused men
shared the rest of the profits. OF
course, both Small and Sterling pro-
test their entire innocence, the COVER
nor laying the whole affair to the
schemes of his political enemies. whose
fight on him, both before and since his
election, has been bitter.

SOlebury Loses To Pleasant
Valley

Solebury took their first defeat of
the season at the hands of the Pleas
ant Valley team on Saturday at
Woodreve Field by a score of 8 to ..
The Solebury team had one bad in
ming when two bases on balls, Two
errors and three hits netted the Pleas
ant Valley team five runs, which
would have been sufficient to win the
contest.
The Pleasant Valley team. made up
in part of High School players, show
ed a remarkable exhibition of how
baseball can be played with proper
team organization. Outside of three
errors, excusable due to the condi-
ton of the field, they played what
would be perfect baseball.
Wooden, pitching, had his game in
hand at all times, and except for the
eighth inning when the Solebury team
scored two runs.
The outstanding feature of the
game was the play of second baseman
Hunt.
Lear pitched six innings for Sole
bury and, except for the second in
ming, handled the situation nicely.
Lawrence pitched the last three in
nings for Solebury, and if his pitching
of Saturday is a criterion there is
trouble in store for the teams who
come to Solebury in the future.
They were crippled by the loss of
their third baseman, Roberts, who
was out on account of illness, and
Funk was not up to the mark. Livezey
played an excellent game at first,
but his hitting was not in evidence.
Changes made in the line up of the
team, necessary because of the illness
of players, did OF work to the advan-
tage of the Solebury team and should
demonstrate the inadvisability of
changes until some weeks of play
have shown the weakness of certain
positions.
Next Saturday Solebury will play
Mechanicsville at Woodreve field.

Gas Co. Tax Extension
Expires Sunday

Lambertville, July 81 Another
fight between the city of LambertviIle
and the New Jersey Northern Gas
Company is looming up for next week,
the time limit on its 1920 taxes ex-
piring on July 81, after which date
Tax Receiver Masterson will take
prompt action to collect the overdue
payments.
1t is believed by many that action
on the part of the city will force a
receivership, especially as it is under
stood that only ten days notice of
the proposed sale of the company's
plant and equipment will be neces-
sary to carry out that plan.
A receivership was urged for the
company last year, when not only
had it failed to pay its tax, but the
service was as variable as the
weather, frequently being off from
two days to a week at one time, but
the officers of the corporation man.
aged to pay the 1919 taxes and avoid
a receivership, the prospect of which
did not appear to appeal to them.
1t is alleged, locally, that a receiver
ship might be a real blessing for the
gas company, as it would probably
inject some business methods into its
operations. many householders charg-
ing that there is a wholesale lack
of that ingredient.
1t IS alleged, locally, that a receiver
ship might be a real blessing for the
through disgust with its service and
its rates, which, it is said, have been
I lacked" to twice its agreed price, and
certain it is that dealers in modern
oil stoves have reaped a harvest the
past few months. The local field
even looked so good that a new store
for the sale of stoves was opened
some time ago, and announces a sue
cessful season.
It is expected that action by the
city of Lambertville to collect taxes
will be followed promptly by the other
municipalities whose claims are still
unsettled. (Trenton Times

BUCKS PRODUCING
LEAD And SILVER

Doylestown- The Gurden Glen
Lead Mining Company; which is min
ing the old New Galena mines, Bucks
County is making its first shipment
of ore. The first truck load of the ore
was loaded at the P. &. R. station
here, The whole shipment will consist
of thirty-two tons.
The ore contains number of diff
ferent metals and it is said that there
have been eight different ones found
SO far, although some of them are very
scarce. TIE principal metal is lead,
although a good deal of silver is in
the first shipment. 1t is likely, the au-
thorities say, that the value of the sill
yer will exceed that of the lead.
The ore is being shipped to the Cir
ard Smelling and Refining Company,
situated at Richmond and Tioga
streets, Philadelphia. A contract has
been made with them to accept all the
shipments in the near future.

FREEHOLDERS
CRITICIZED
PHILA, PAPER QUESTIONS FAIL
URE OF HUNTERDON'S FINAN-
CIAL STATEMENT

Recently this paper printed
statement in response to numerous
inquiries demanding when the yearly
financial statement of the Board of
Freeholders had not been published
This statement was due at the first of
the year. The only explanation avail
able was that the statement submitte 4
by the County Auditor was not ac-
ceptable.
As an evidence that the failure to
publish this statement (now months
overdue) is causing severe criticism,
the following article from the Phila-
delphia North American is reprinted
for the consideration of Hunterdon
County taxpayers:
Taxpayers of Hunterdon county
are threatening to ask the next grand
jury to investigate the failure of the
of freeholders to publish the county
financial statment as required by law.
Much mystery surrounds the situation
regarding county finances and there
are reports that the statement will
not be issued until after the next
election. Newspapers were advised
last December that the statement
would be sent them for publication,
but it was later stated that the audit
or's report was not satisfactory to
the freeholders. A reign of silence"
exists is county offices when the mat
ter is mentioned, and taxpayers are
daily becoming more insistent for an
explanation and publication of the
facts regarding the county's business
as conducted last by their servants"

EX-SOLDIER
BURIED BY
LEGION

Lambertville- The funeral of Leon
ard Fell Coulton, the soldier whose
body was returned to this city from

George B. Horner's undertaking par
lors, Ia Church St., Thursday after

TARIFF TAXES
AND THE
SHIPPING BOARD

The tariff bill, having been passed
by the house, is now before the senate
but If present plans are followed that
body will not act on it finally until
legislation to revive taxes has been
enacted. This is in accord with the
understood wish of the administration.
The prospect for considerably lower
taxes, however, was dimmed some
what by the rather startling state
ments made by A. D. Lasker, new
chairman of the shipping board. He
asserted that his Investigations have
revealed the fact that the board
operated last fiscal year at a net loss
of $780, 100000, and predicted that dur
ing the present fiscal year the loss
from operations alone will be $780,
100000. Mr. Lasker said the records
of the board were In deplorable con-
dition and that if Ii had been private
business concern the corporation
would have been In receivers hands
long ago. He indicated that appro
prlations of S30O,0OO,OOO would be
needed for this year, but later he
asked congress for only S125, 900
for the next six months. The formal
request for this sam was made through
Director of Budget Dawes and with
the approval of President Harding.
Prodded to quick action by pre-
liminary report of the special commits
sion on soldiers relief, which scored
the government for neglect of disabled
veterans, the senate on Wednesday
passed the Sweet bill without a dis
senting vote. An amendment was
adopted designed to transfer from the
eX-service men to the government the
burden of proof in establishing the
origin of disabilities. In some other
respects the bill rs passed by the
house was altered. AZ passed by the
senate the measure provides: For the
creation of Veterans bureau, respon-
sible directly to tie President consol-
idating all soldier relief agencies; for
the decentralization CT the compensa-
ton and ius,lranc. machinery now op-
Grated ny the wa" risk bureau, and
for the lihe"al;latioa Of compensation
awards So as 10 relieve any former SOL
der suffering froII ailments for which
The war service was responsible.

HOT OFF THE BAT

Another defeat.
The pitcher was largely to blame
this time.
The Coachers were like wooden
men.
To many runs were thrown away by
poor base running.
DeBoskey won his own game, with
two doubles and single. Not so bad
for a pitcher.
Cifelli's catch, of Werner's fly in
the first inning was the big feature
of the game McGary played a good
all round game.
The Lambertville players are bat
ting at the following averages: Nc

SEPARATE
GERMAN PEACE.

The United States has been sound
ing the German government on the
proposal to negotiate q separate peace
in accordance with President Har-
ding's program. The pact, it is I'M
derstood, will embody such features
of the Versailles treaty as are not re-
of settlement of war accounts to be
virtually identical with those imposed
by the allies. 1t is believed Berlin
will see the wisdom of signing such a
treaty without great delay,
Meanwhile movement for the re-
call of the American troops in Ger
many has started in the senate. Mr..
Borah introduced a resolution calling
on the secretary of war for all data
as to the size of the army of occupa-
ton, the cost of maintaining 1t and the
payments of the German government
for its expenses. The senate promptly
adopted the resolution without a roll
call or a dissenting voice.

MIDDLE EUROPE
IN TURMOIL

Upper Silesia comes to the front
again, with prospects of renewed trou
BILE which may result in another out
break of hostilities and even in a
break among the entente allies. Con-
WINGED that the situation there was ex-
tremely critical, France asked Great
Britain and Italy to join her in sending
reinforcements to the region. The
British foreign office replied belittling
the danger and proposing that meet
ing of the supreme council be held on
July 81. To this Premier BRAND re-
sponded with a note announcing that
France intended to reinforce the Upper
Silesian contingent and again asking
Great Britain and Italy to follow
suit, insisting on the necessity of a
committee of experts to hold n meet
ing Immediately to investigate Upper
Silesia and to draft a frontier, and
announcing that France was not pre-
pared for a supreme council meeting
until the experts have reached a de-
cision, and the allies are in position
to enforce the decision as to the Up
per Silesian boundary by adequate
forces in the disputed territory. Dis
patches from Paris said 10000 troops
were to be sent at once to Upper 81
lesia, with artillery, tanks and planes.
There was chance that America
would be called on to mediate. Our
position in rejoining the supreme
70 M
part in questions affecting territorial
and frontier adjustments unless gen.
eral peace were threatened. Some
diplomats believe that point has been
reached. Naturally there is intense
satisfaction in German official circles
over the prospects of a split among
members of the entente.

IRISH PEACE
UNCERTAIN

"President" EamOnn de Valera had
another meeting with Premier Lloyd
George Thursday, and soon thereafter
departed for Ireland carrying the gov
ernment's final offer of home rule for
the island within the empire, practi-
cally like that enjoyed by South Africa.
This he will submit to the Irish re
pubIicans" whose decision, he has as
serted, he will abide by. The plan was
first given in detail to the British
cabinet and received its almost unani-
nous approval. Premier SHUTS or
South Africa again had taken hand
in the settlement and had suggested
fiscal alterations which were adopted.
Thus the prospects for Irish peace
are fairly good despite the fact that
Ulster and the extreme Unionists re-
main to be satisfied. Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier, after meeting
Lloyd George in London, returned to
Belfast to consult his government. He
declared Ulster would not yield Its
right of self-determination, that Its
S6DuIullbH llOlu Spulhtiil 1ASi"iiN 49,
an accomplished fact, and that ut
now only remains for Mr.. de Valera
and the British people to come TO
terms regarding the area outside or
that of which I am prime minister"
He emphatically repudiated the SIM
Fem argument that Ulster is in the
minority and must bow to the ma
jority in Ireland, admitting the unity
of the island and accepting self gov
eminent, if it gets it, from Ireland 'as
a whole. Up to date De Valera and his
colleagues have not abandoned this
Sim Fein position. 1t remains to be
seen which side will yield. For the mo-
ment, at least, the attitude of the peo-
pie of southern Ireland is more peace
full and conciliatory than that of the
northern Irish.
