HADDONFlELD GOLFERS ASK
LIBERAL SABBATH TOWN
Efforts to Create New Borough viii
Be Carried to Legislature

Opposition to the efforts of the
Travis Took Country Club. of Haddon
field, to create a new borough that its
members may play golf on Sunday, was
expressed at a meeting last night in the
town hall at Mount Ephraim.
The meeting was attended by resi-
dents of several townships. It was de-
cided that representatives Of Centre
township carry their complaint before
the Legislature.
Haddonfield is in Centre township.
Members Of the country club recently
managed to have a bill introduced in
the Legislature which provided that Il
norton Of the outskirts of the township
be incorporated into the borough of
Tavis Took. This would enable resi-
dents Of the newly created borough to
make their own laws and have Sunday
sports without interference.
The proposed borough embraces two
farms and would make an ideal golf
course.
Citizens Of Longslde, Runnymede and
other townships opposed to Sunday
sports have joined in opposition. The
Travis Took Club is made up largely Of
members Of the Haddon Country Club.

n few of the talesmen whose names
were drawn out of the jury wheel
Yesterday were on hand this morn
ing. The deputy sheriffs were able to
secure service on only fiftv during the
night. Mingo county Is sixty five miles
long, and It is no small task to serve
talesmen, as many Of them live In the
mountain sections not reached by train.
and in some instances the only method
Of access Is bv horseback.
Several Of the jurors tentatively ac-
cepted and now in the jury box were
permitted TO 'eave court and attend to
business affairs.
The wife Of Charlie Kiser, an AL
satan. whom the defendant married
while he was in France with the army.
was on hand with her six -months-ol
baby on hand her husband when he came
into the courtroom from Jail. Half o
dozen talesmen were examined dur
ing the first half hour. but all were dis.
qualified.
Defendants Impatient
The jury commissioners doubt their
ability TO obtain sufficient number Of
talesmen who can qualify to sit on the
Gase. A further barrier has been paced
in their way by the application OF the
new law which prohibits a juror from
serving oftener than once in two years

"Oh. let's cut out all this fussing
about the jury remarked Sid Hatfield
to his counsel at the resumption Of the
grind, with some impatience. Take
the first twlve men that come along.
just as long as we get this trial started
I am willing to p ace my fate in their
hands" He voiced the sentiments of
the other defendants. They are disap-
pointed over the delay which is being
encountered in picking the jury as each
day the selection of the men to try them
is held up they must remain that much
longer in jail.
All of them want to get back to their
families and their homes.
While there were thirteen men in
the box who have been tentatively ac~
cepted, IL was conceded by both sides
there was only remote possibility that
the jury would be selected during the
next few days. The counsel harbor the
belief that it will be impossible to sc
cure a jury at all. There is legislation
pending which would remedy the exist =
ing condition, as under the provision OF
the bill which was presented in the
West Virginia Legislature. it will be
possible to go outside of the county
to secure talesmen to sit on juries.
Another remedy would be for the de
PENDANTS to ask for u change of venue
but there is no inclination of the de
PENDANTS or their counsel to do this
Their chances for an acquittal are bet
