TOWN ELECTION

Town election has again come and gone and while the majority of offices will be filled by republicans, the democrats captured the two best ones, so far as compensation is con- cerned, at least. Since the ballots were counted any number of opin- ions have been heard as to the reason for David Roger securing majority generally considered to be the iarg- est ever given candidate in this town, against a man who has for years been the largest ''vote getter' in town. As far as we are concerned, we believe that the public knew Rogers record as tax collector dur ing the past two years and that he should be returned to office was no more than justice to a faithful pub lie servant. So far as the republican candidate is concerned, we don't believe he really wanted the office and we know he didn't work to get it.
 More and more the people in small towns are casting aside party politics and the tendency is to vote for the man who best can do the work of the office to which he aspires in the town. Each year finds it little harder to fill the office of selecSman. Many who are capable will not serve, as the salary is too small, while the work and criticism is too great. We believe, therefore, that the time is not far off when a serious discussion will be held regarding the employ ment of town manager.
 Another item which the voters seem to overlook entirely, is that preparation must be made to raise funds, either gradually or eventually by bonding, to erect and maintain

SEA DOGS RUSH FOR JOBS
Twelve " s. Vessels at Hog Island
to Be Pressed Into Service


to Be Pressed Into Service
See those crowds at Eighth and
Chestnut streets and on Fourth street
across from the Bourse today?
Wonder why7
Here's the answer.
Word has gone forth that twelve
United States Shipping Board vessels
are to be taken from retirement at Hog
Island and put into service again, and
the recruiting Offices Of the board were
swamped today with hundreds of mer :
chant seamen applying for work.
Both q South Fourth street. the
regular recruiting office, and S04 Chest.
nut street, the Offices of the marine su =
perintendent, had long lines of men pa :.
tiently waiting all morning. Some of
them were old sea dogs, others did not
look as though they ever had been to
sea before.
Some of the ships laid up have been
at Hog Island six months. They will be
allocated to various companies and put
to work on various trade routes Of the
world. There will be sixty fine ships
left at Hog Island after the twelve
sail.
The ships are about 5000 tons each.

WIFE
, TO ASK DIVORCE
Action Is Based on Favorable
Turn in Testimony Re-
Gently Taken
WANTS ALL THE CHILDREN

New York, June 24.-So favorable
has been the testimony thus far for
Mrs. Anne Urquhart I~otter Stillman in
her husbands divorce suit that her at.
torneys are preparing again to amend
her answer, this time abandoning the
affirmative defense and substituting n
request that she be granted a divorce
from James A. Stillmnn.
1t has been hinted several times
since the suit was started nearly n year
ago that If Mrs. Stillman won she
would follow this up with a counter
action for divorce, but at no time was
1t suggested that both suits would be
tried at the same time.
John r. Brennan. chief counsel for
Mrs. Stillman, Is said now to feel his
clients interest would be served best
by an ANA lgamation Of ,he two suits.
The decision to do this was reached
during the last forty eight hours. II is
said, and was based on the favorable
turn the suit took last week for Mrs
Stillman and BABY Guy. Lawyers who
have been following the DEVELOPMENTS
feel certain the allegations. so far as
they affect Guy, have collapsed com.
pletely.
In respect to Mr.. Stillman, the wit

NAB SUSPECT AS LIVELY
Man Arrested at HurIock, Nd,
Thought Alleged Moorestown SLAYER

A suspect answering the description
OF Lewis Lively, the Negro wanted for
the murder of seven year -old Matilda
Russo in Moorestown, n. j., was ar
rested yesterday by Justice of the Peace
X. l.. Hastings, Of Hurock, Md. The
man, who had been seen wandering
about the swamps, was captured after
a long search had been made for him
late yesterday afternoon.
When questioned the suspect gave his
name as Brown and said that he had
been employed by a farmer in the vicin
ity. An effort to locate the employer
proved unayailYg.
Squire Hastings said the man an
swered the description of Lively in al
most every respect, even TO the scars
on the face, but added that the sus
pect's mouth differed from that of Live
ly's in the pictures sent out in the
''fliers."
John A. Bradshaw, chief OF thu
Moorestown police, was Immediately
dispatched to Cambridge, where tn,
man is imprisoned, in an effort to iden
tify Brown as the child's slayer.

AUDITOR REFUSES
0BERHOLTzER PAY
Lewis Says Salary Of Film Gen.
sorship Director Is Not
Provided For
MAY MEAN LOSS OF JOB
BIZ a std6 Correspondent

Harrisburg, June "a. - DR.. Ellis
Paxson Oberholtzer will probably lose
the job of director for the Board OF
Motion Picture Censors to which he
was appointed last October by Gov
crnor Shroul at salary Of $4,000, fol-
lowing the failure Of the Governor to
reappoint him member Of the Board
of Motion Picture Censors.
Auditor General Lewis has refused to
approve the salary for the Office Of
director because the Legislature re-
fused to make the job statutory. Since
DR.. Oberholtzer was dropped from the
Board of Censors he has been the storm
center of a food Of criticism against
the Governor. Several Philadelphia
clergymen declared the dropping of DR..
Oberholtzer was due to influence exerted
by big film producers.
Lewis States Position
In a letterto Harry L. Knapp, chnir-
man Of the Censor Board. Auditor Cen
eral Lewis explained his refusal to ap-
prove pDr. Oberholtzer salary for the
first two weeks of June as follows:
Previous to May 81. 1927, Mr..
Oberholtzer was paid out of the 1918
contingent fund appropriated to your
department. The sust session OF the
Legislature passed an act, approved by
the Governor on May 25, 1921, amend
ing Sections II and IL of the Act al
May 10, 1915, =. L. 534. thereby re
organizing and rearrunging your de
partment in the matter of employees ant
salaries.
An examination Of the different
prints of Senate bill No. 953. which |.
the bill approved by the Governor OF
May 20, 1921, will disclose the fact tina
the Legislature refused to include tn,
provision of one director at salary o
$4,000, which is'the very item you nov
charge to the contingent fund.
by this procedure you would be di
rectly overriding and annulling the re
cent act of the Legislature on this yer,
matter.
Not Unforeseen Item
"And, furthermore, the Attorne
General, in his opinions. has said tn
contingent fund is intended to meet un
foreseen and unexpected contingencie
that may arise in a department. Thi
expenditure for Mr. Oherholtzer can
not possibly be said to be an unfore
seen and unexpected contingency, sine
he was paid by you this sdme salar
for this same service for considerabl
period before 1.-The passage of the 1892
amendments, referred to above.
