Personal Gain; Spon-

HAMMONTON, n. AFTER a brief
session Of "Cupld's Court" the unique
plan of the Hammonton Lovers Pro
tective Union for alleviating lonesome.
ness toppled under the singing blow Of
the words foolish nonsense" applied
by some who had been considered
among its chief proponents.
When the court reconvened yester
day there were no crowds eager 30
hear the pleas OF the two Attorneys"
for those who would be mated. Not
even the jury appeared. Secretary
Delker and Lewis Conley joint promot-
ers of the plan gazed forlornly az the
papers containing the cases OF scores
OF lonely maidens and ambitious swalns.
The manager of the theater where the
court was held announced that the
court must meet in other quarters.
Further troubles for the promoters
came later in the day when charges
were made that they had started the
lovers cooperation for personal gain
and that they intended to sell the list
of names obtained to matrimonial
bureau.
