Two more names were added to the
list of those who have been inspired
by the adoption OF the eighteenth
amendment to try their skill at pro-
hibition brewing when raid on the
home of John Flowers about mile
north of Freehold condu cted Wednes-
day by County Detective Jack Smith
and Constables Fred Shields, George
Curley and J. Conway, led to the dis
covery of a tD-gailon still and II large
quantity of mash contained in l2
barrels and kegs, consisting of pota-
toes, prunes figs dates and grain.
Flowers and his wife were taken in
to custody and arraigned before JUS
tice of the Peace Arrowsmith of Free
hold and placed under 81 900 bail each
for the grand jury. Later. however,
federal officer of Newark was called
and the Fl iwers were arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner
James d. Carlo of Asbury Park and
placed under $1,000 for the federal
grand jury.

DREW ON HIS IMAGINATION
To Put 1t Mildly, LongfelIow was Not
Always Accurate in His De-
scriptive Poems.

The poet LOngfellow has set an ex-
ample of inaccuracy in dealing with
our Pilgrim ancestors which has been
widely followed. His charming poem,
The Courtship of Myles Standish,"
mas been read by millions of his coun-
trymen and doubtless accepted by
great numbers as gospel truth. Yet
1t has no historical basis, saws a writ
er in the Boston Transcript. There
IS not scintilla of evidence that the
fearless captain, who was small of
stature and red-haired but every inch
soldier-had any desire to win the
affections of Priscilla Mullins. He
was a very busy man during the first
years at Plymouth. And, but for his
wisdom, skill and heroic actions, there
is little doubt but what they would
have all been murdered by wild saw
ages, who were not wholly restrained
by Massasoit. 1t seems too bad that
so brave and unselfish a man as Stan
dish was should now be paraded be-
fore his descendants as rejected
suitor. He and they deserve better
fate
The poet is no more accurate in
dealing with him than he is in de-
scrlbing the marriage of John Alden
and Priscilla. What pretty bit of
fiction it was to place Priscilla on a
'milk-white steer when there was
not COW. nor steer, in all New
England

to stop plying her paddle, but Mash
kaugan kept on as if there were
cords of steel within his great, twist

paddle the canoe travelled swiftly
again, though no longer like mad

Finally they reached the outlet OF

Araeou again stopped padding.
She knew this meant that they must

Nothing mattered to her but to keep

WANT COUNTY
HIGHWAY OILED
FreehoIders Get Protest at
Meeting on Action on
New Engineer

fBy Evening News Stan Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, July L.
Complaining that they ate, slept and
lived in an atmosphere of dust, a
delegation of three women, residents
of the Highland Park-Bound Brook
river road, appeared before the free
holders yesterday and requested that
the road be oiled Immediately. They
presented a petition from taxpayers
containing seventy-eight names.
Director Dey referred to the plan
to pave the street several years ago,
which was then opposed by the resi-
dents. and was informed by the Ia
dies that the objection was made at
that time on the ground that the
country was at war and it was felt
that the paving could wait until a
more favorable time. That time has
now arrived, according to the femi-
nine delegation. and they propose to
appear at every meeting of the
Board of Freeholders until ac-
ton is taken on the matter. The
proposed repairs to the road will
cost about $4,000.
A resolution was adopted by the
beard increasing the contribution to
the support of the institution for
the care of children who are coun-
ty charges from SO weekly for each
child to 81. This action is in ac-
cordance with the new state law
authorizing the increase.
County Treasurer Hilker was au-
thorized by resolution to borrow
the sum of $4,000 in anticipation
of taxes.
The newly laid pavement on Bor-
dentown avenue, South Amboy, by
T. II. Riddle & Company was for
mally accepted as being satisfactory
and payments of n~inety-five per
cent of the cost were authorized.
Next Thursday morning the free
holders will inspect the recently
&C mpleted Jamesburg = Helmetta
road.
A communication was received
in reference to the complaint re-
ing bad spots on the trolley tracks
South River. Prompt attention
the matter was promised.
Although it was expected that
the board would confirm the ru-
appointment Of Fred Schnei-
der to the post of county engineer
no such action was taken |
was given out, though, that the
office would go to Schneider about
first of September. He is now
doing contracting work and the de-
will allow him to complete his
private work while also allowing
present Engineer Fox to complete
county work in which he is
engaged.

TAFT IS MADE
CHIEF JUSTICE
Heads Supreme Court After
Confirmation by Senate
Some Opposition

WASHINGTON, July 1.-William
Howard Taft, former president, will
succeed the late Chief Justice White
as head of the United States Su-
preme Court when that court con-
venes in October.
Nominated by President Harding
late yesterday Mr.. IiTaft's confirma-
ton was voted by the senate in ex-
ecutive session a little o than an
hour afterwards. Although elected
to the presidency from Ohio, the
new justice will be credited to Con-
necticut, as the new member of the
| supreme court made New Haven his
official residence on leaving the
White House.
A confirmation of the appointment
was not without opposition. Sena-
tors Borah, Johnson. LaFollette and
Watson, of Georgia, voted against
the nomination, and according to re-
ports Senators Borah and johnson
expressed criticism of MI. Taft's ca
pacity for the position.
The roll call was so to 4 for con-
firmation.
