REFUSAL TO FIGHT FOREST FIRE
RESULTS IN COURT SENTENCE

For refusing to fight forest fire
past spring when summoned by local
firewarden, Bert Anderson, George
Emmons and Andrew Anderson, all
of Chatsworth, in the wilds of Bur-
lington County, were each fined the
statutory penalty of $40 and costs
when brought before Justice of the
Peace Lawrence G. Mingin, of Mt
Holly. Previously these men were
given a hearing before the Board of
Conservation and Development and
given an opportunity of escaping
prosecution by paying a penalty of $5
each. Neglecting to pay the penalty
after being allowed reasonable time
resulted in the three offenders being
prosecuted by the attorney generals
Office. Conviction was obtained on,
evidence furnished by Division Fire
warden ]. E. Abbott, of Toms River.
The fire which they refused to help
extinguish ragged for IL hours and
burned over wide area According
to State Firewarden WILDER the ne
cessity for prompt action at such fires
is so important that any person re-
fusing to assist local firewarden as
required by law will be apprehended
and prosecuted.

FISHERMEN AROUSED OVER NEG
LIGENCE OF STATE

The fishermen of Five Mile Beach
who operate from Ottens Harbor are
up in arms over the negligence or the
state department in maintaining guld-
ing lights in the thoroughfare leading
TO their wharves. The local organi-
cations, including the Boat Owners
Association, ETC., worked hard on this
matter at the beginning of the year and
succeeded in getting $4,000 appro-
priation from the state for the install
lation and maintenance of lights on
the thoroughfare from Cold Spring
Inlet to the docks at Ottens Harbor.
Following the announcement of this
appropriation the state engineer Wis
tied wildwood and was taken over the
route by a delegation of the fishermen.
After this inspection a conference re-
suited in a type of light being selected
and locations picked for these lights.
Seven in number and of type eco
nomical in cost they were thought to
be very satisfactory for the work re-
quired of them. After a short time
these lights were installed at cost
of approximately $1,000, leaving bal
ance of about $1,000 for maintenance
of same. The work of keeping these
lights in order was given to David
Young and he carried out this work
all through the summer season. A
few weeks ago Mr.. Young sent his bill
for this maintenance into the Office of
the Board of Commerce and Naviga-
ton and awaited payment of same.
Great was his surprise to get letter
from this Board stating that no funds
were available for this maintenance.
Now the lights are not burning. Mr..
Young will not care for them without
payment, and there is $1,000 of the
original appropriation which cannot
greatly aroused over the matter, for
to them the lights are means of
safety as important as the semaphore
and signal lights are to the railroad
engineers. Wildwood's fishing indutry
has grown to such a size that it now
ranks with the largest on the coast,
and to have these men unprotected is
thing that is hard to imagine. While
a great many of our old fishermen
know the waters so we'll that they
could navigate into the harbor in the
heaviest of fogs and without any lights
whatsoever, still the harbor is be-
coming a center for shippers who
have never before entered these
waters. 1t is for their benefit as we'll
as the local pilots that the channel
should be marked out. The entrance
Of the Swedish vessel, which came
here few weeks ago, would have
been next to impossible had the for
eign vessel reached here at night with
no beacons to guide her. The fisher
folk of the city have just reason for
feeling neglected in the lack of these
lights, and as the fish industry is the
greatest in our city at the present
time, the city should stand back of
these men in their demands.

CONCERNING LAND FOR RAILROAD

Last Fridays Bridgeton Pioneer
printed the following:
"The Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey is seeking to run it's tracks across
the farms Of Howard B. Padgett and
William VanLier at Deerfeld, and has
started condemnation proceedings to
obtain right of way over the two
properties.
There is apparently no desire on
the part of the property owners to
hold up the railroad company, but
rather to fix a correct value on the
land.
"The proposed line of railroad will
take strip Of land from the Padgett
farm 120 feet wide, about four acres
in all, and will practically cross the
centre of the VanLier farm, using ap-
proximately 21a acres.
"Justice Black of the Supreme
Court, appointed as commissioners,
Herbert c. Bartlett, Freeholder Chas.
Richman and Frank Ridgway, who
visited the Deerfield farm on Monday.
"A hearing of testimony that re-

MO VICTORY could be more COM
~ plete than that won by the Fas-
cisti in their peaceful revolution in
Italy. They are now in absolute con-
troll Of the government and their
chief, Benito Mussolini, is premier
and minister Of foreign affairs and Of
the interior. Giolitti declined the
premiership, so Mussolini at the invi-
tation of the king took the place and
promptly announced the new cabinet.
Most of its members belong to the
Fascist, but several places are given
to the Nationalists, one to the Demo
Gratis and one to the Catholic party.
From all over the country the Black
Shirts f1ocked to Rome where 100000
of them paraded before the king and
premier, and then, at the order of
their leaders, they dispersed to their
homes to resume their vocations.
Italy seems to have supreme conf
dence In Mussollni, believing that he
will put an end to the conflicts Of po-
litical factions that have sadly
hindered its development during the
last three years and that under his
rule economic prosperity will be re-
stored. He is young, vigorous and un-
pretentious and already has buckled
down to hard work. Once he was a
revolutionary Socialist and was ex-
PEELED from Switzerland and from
what was then the Austrian Tyrol.
But he broke, with his old associates
when in his paper, Popolo Italia, he
urged Italy to enter the war on the
side of the allies. To the world at
large the victory Of Mussolin and his
Fascist is most important because II
was a victory over the Communists,
radical Socialists and "Reds" gener-
ally. These forces of disruption and
disorder were so badly whipped that
the Communist party In Italy has an
nounced its own dissolution, which
presumably means that the Commun.
list deputies will resign from the
chamber.

Plan 10 Establish u. 5.
Testing Plant in Japan

The movement TO secure lnternatio1-

for the primary raw silk market IL
Yokohama has advanced TO such r
state. according to statement issued
by D. K. Gouty. general manager o.
the United States Testing COMPANY.
Inc, that the board of directors of the
company is now considering a sug
gested plan, endorsed and approved by
some of the leading Stature owners ir
Japan. for the establishment of al
American testing plant in Yokohama.
This plan comprehcnds the estsh-
lishmen in Yokohama of a raw silk
testing house by the United States
Testing Company. Inc. especially
equipped TO make the tests which ind
cate the physical characteristics of raw
silk. sucn as sizing, winding, strength,
elonzation, elastic limit. cohesion.
cleanness. evepncss. etc. Ii is the spe-
cial desire OF the Japanese who are sd-
vocsting the plsn to obtain. primarily
for tfe use OF the filat-rcs. laboratory
facilities under the join. control of the
producer and consumer. by which their
product can be tested and the results
be acceptable to the American manu-
facturers.
1t is, thus far. exclusively reelers
movement and is intended TO secure
for them collectively what they as in
dividuals are unable to afford or Sc
cure, an independent neutral, scientific
laboratory, responsive to the needs OF
their industrv and that Of their Gus
toners, open to all upon equal terms
and dependent upon the value Of its
services for it's support and naintc
nance.
While the proposed international
testing house will be available to the
buyers and exporters Of raw silk in
Yokohama upon equal terms with the
reelers. there is no intention OF inter

Business Trend
In Philadelphia
Is Still Quiet
Most Trades Continue Dull,
With Autumn Buying De-
]ayed Through a Cen
eral Lack of Confidence

PHILADELPHIA. March A.-No wide
spread change in the general business
situation in the Third Federal Reserve
District has occurred during February,
according to the March bulletin issued
by the Federal Reserve Bank of Phia
dclphia.
"The inactivity that has characterized
conditions in this district since last
November" says the bank, "has con-
tinued. Although reports from e few
industries indicate slight improve
ment, the total volume of business be-
ing transacted Is small, and is con-
fined almost exclusively to orders for
immediate shipment. There seems to
ture. A feeling of uncertainty per
vades most markets. feeling that has
manifested itself in the absence OF or
ders for autumn merchandise. although
in number OF industries this is tAe
buying season for fall goods.
"Sales Of iron and steel products
have not increased, although the num-
Der of inquiries and orders received
has been slightly larger. What buy
ing there is is mainly to satisfy i'm
mediate need and to replenish de-
pleted stocks, and the few firms that
have reported better conditions state
that the Improvement 1s only nominal.
The volume buying Of railroads has not
reached expectations. and industrials,
too. have but little interest in the
market.
emo important developments have oc-
Cured in the textile and allied indus
tries. The improvement in some lines
and the falling off in others has been
so small as to cause no apprcciable
change. The improvement in the shoe
industry. first noted about the middle
Of January, has continued.
Retail trade has slumped consider
ably since the first Of the year. Sales
normally decline during January and
February, but the falling off this year
has bean greater than usual. The re-
tail sales in the district during Janu-
.ary, were 1873 per cent less than those
of January. 1921, and recent reports
indicate that the decline during Febru-
AIRY also was large. This is true despite
tho fact that stores have conducted ex-
tensively advertised reduction sales,
and is result, no doubt. Of the fact
that more serviceabie and useful gifts

season Of 1921 than had been the case

thing to be done at once is to examine
the basis of all agreements with for
