Residents of New Jersey must fight
forest fires when summoned by Fire
Wardens to assist in putting out forest
fires, or else they must pay a penalty
If the cases are pressed. This was
shown recently when three men of
Chatsworth, BERTHE Anderson, George
Emmons and Andrew Anderson, were
brought before the Board of Conserva-
ton and Development at Trenton, and
after being heard, they were given the
alternative OF paying a penalty OF SIS
each or Of being tried before a Justice
of the Peace, and if convicted fined
the statutory penalty for refusing to
assist "A Forest Fire Warden when
summoned. The fire which they re
fused TO help extinguish was so seri
Gus that it ragged for IL hours before
the fire fighters could bring it under
control. The young men appeared tc
be extremely sorry for their attitude
and promised to give hearty assist
nee in the future.

Adams And Petit
Head County Board
William Hauenstein Gives Up
Craftsmanship on Monday
After 10 Years in Office.

When the Atlantic County Board of
Elections met at Mays Landing on
Monday morning for reorganization,
William Hauenstein, Chairman for the
past ten years, positively refused to
again be nominated for the office but
instead nominated E. Leroy Adams.
Adams did not desire to serve, but in
sisted on nominating Hauenstein a
number of times, until the positive
refusal of the latter caused him to
accept. Then Harry Lovett, Secretary
for several years. nominated Clarence
Petit for the place, and he and Ad-
ans were later elected.
Following the election Hauenstein
visited the County Clerks office and
withdrew his nomination petition for
County Committeeman from Egg Har-
Dor Township. The Board voted that
the President and Secretary should
this year select the several polling
places throughout the county. The
Board will soon hold another meeting
to select the District Boards of Reg
istry and Election for each voting dis
trict in the county.
The organization of the County
Board seemed to be the starting of
political activity on the mainland for
the fall campaign. After the members
of the Board came from Mays Land
ing, political news flew very fast here.
1t was stated that Horace Morrison,
of the Second Ward, would be a candi-
date for City Council this fall in oppo-
sition to Charles M. Peck, who intends
to run for another term. 1t was also
said that Robert Zane. MayOr Thomas
F. Crawford, Albert E. James and
William Hauenstein intended to form
an organization here to support Sena-
tor, Charles D. White as a candidate
for the Senate this fall. 1t was still
further stated that there would be in
|d~eponl4nt candidates put forth for the
nomination as members of the County
Executive Committee.

Democrats Wrangle
Over Candidates
Several Men Desire to Become
State Committeeman from
Atlantic Co. This Fall.

Just who will be the next State
Committeeman of the Democratic par
ty in Atlantic County is now very
much in doubt, as this Office seems to
be one that is causing trouble all
along the line. Charles j. Collins, OF
Somers Point, also a member OF the
Atlantic County Tax Board, is the
present State Committeeman from the
county. His term expires this fall.
Earlier in the year Harry Loyett, OF
this city, became a candidate, expect
ing to oppose Collins for a reelection.
Now apparently Collins has Withdrawn
as a candidate, for Charles |. Lafferty.
chairman of the County Executive
Committee, is slated for State Com
mitteeman, and he would not oppose
Collins. Loyett has withdrawn IRON
this fight and has thrown his support
to Charles Sumner Moore, a former
Prosecutor of the Pleas.
AS usual, when the Democrats are
in a mix-up over candidates for some
office. Charles r. Moore also annOun-
ces himself as a candidate for the
State Committee berth. This Charles
Moore claims endorsement of an or
%ganization known as the Atlantic
| County Democratic Club. which meets
at Indiana and Atlantic avenues, in
Atlantic City. When the time comes
il will probably narrow down to Chas.
Sumner Moore and Charles L. Lafferty
as the candidates at the Primary Elec-
ton.

Victories To List

had the Travellers at his mercy all
through. They only registered four

they forced acros a tally. Another
was forthcoming in the fifth and their
last counter was scored in the sixth,
while the losers pushed both of their

.HARB0R MONEY
MAY SOON COME
District Engineers Make Favor
able Report on Deepening and
Widening AbsecOn Inlet.
Action Expected Soon

Some time late in the summer it is
expected that action will be taken at
Washington to provide the money
necessary for the deepening and wild
ening of Absecon Inlet channel. A
report favorable to the deepening and
widening of the Inlet has been made
to the War Department, 1t is under
stood, by the district engineer for
rivers and harbors.
In the river and harbors bill OF
1921 there was a provision put in by
Congressman Isaac Bacharach pro-
viding for a preliminary examination
and survey of Absecon Inlet, with a
view to having the Federal Govern
ment undertake to deepen and widen
it.
The district engineer made the eX
animation and survey and last Febru-
airy held a hearing at Atlantic City at
which the people interested in the
proposed improvement appeared and
testified as to the need of the develop
ment.
The report of the district engineer
has now been referred to the Board
of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors,
which will take it up at its next
meeting, July IL. 1t then goes to the
Chief of Engineers for his report, and
from there to Congress. 1t will prob
ably be August before it reaches the
House.
The bill carrying the river and har-
bors appropriations for the next fiscal
year has passed the House and Is now
before the Senate, but If the report is
made to Congress within a reasonable
time, and is favorable to the develop
ment, Senator Walter E. Edge will
make an effort to have an amendment
inserted in the bill in the Senate to
provide for the proposed improvement
of Absecon Inlet.

William Adams Is
Shocked To Death
Working on Electric Light Pole
During Heavy Electrical
Storm Saturday Night.

William B. Adams, OF this city, was
shocked and probably instantly killed
on Saturday night, while he was at
work at the top of an electric light
pole near Central Church, Linwood.
On the job with him at the time was
Superintendent Jesse Bowen. The
work was being lone while a heavy
thunder and lightning storm was in
progress. Bowen was at the foot of
the pole and Adams vas at work near
the top. He was strapped fast to the
pole and was using his climbing spurs.
Bowen says that he heard a deep
groan from Adams and looking up
ward he beheld Adams head fall back.
Bowen says a flash of lightning just
at the time clearly revealed the body
hanging to the pole. The safety belt
kept Adams suspended in the air until
Bowen, with the assistance of some
men he summoned, lowered the body
to the ground by means of ropes which
Bowen fastened under the arms.
Hoping that a spark of life still re-
manned, Adams was rushed to the At
lantic County Asylum, where Doctors
Munro, Fish and Hudson worked over
the body for a long time, using artifi-
cial respiration and other means, but
were unable to find a trace of life to
reward their heroic efforts and finally
pronounced the man dead.
While Adams was at work, the cur
rent was said to have been shut off
from The high powered wires. Upon
examination of the body at the under
taking parlors of William B. Parsels &
Sons it was found that the only mark
on the body showing a burn was at the
end of one finger. Sunday Adams hat
was found near the pole on which he
was at work, and portions of singed
it was first reported that he had been
electrocuted by current from a live
wire, the electric light officials say
now that it was a bolt of lightning
which killed him.
From the nature of the case County
Physician Souder did not deem an in
quest necessary, and arrangements
were made for the funeral, which is to
be held this Tuesday afternoon, at
2.30 o'clock, from the late residence of
the deceased, 104 Brighton avenue in
charge of undertaken Robert L. Race.
The deceased was well known in
Pleasantville, having been born and
educated here, and was for several
years catcher of the Pleasantville
baseball team. He was the son of
Uzza B. Adams, deceased. Several
years ago he married Elizabeth Wag-
ner, who survives him. .

POST OFFICE
WANTED HERE
Chamber of Commerce to Re-
quest Congressman to Work
for Necessary Appropriation.
Hospital Is Discussed

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held on Friday evening the
question of securing a Federal Build
ing for this city was freely discussed.
The matter was first brought up by
Postmaster Harry Obert, who said
that the city was growing so fast and
the post office business increasing so
rapidly that it was only a matter of
a short time until the room needed
for postal business must be increased
beyond the limits of the present office.
1t was pointed out that it requires
time to get a post Office building, and
that there was no better time than
the present to start the movement.
Many towns, smaller in population
and area than ~Pleasantville, have fine
buildings for post offices. The secur-
ing of a post office lays with the rep
resentatives at Washington entirely.
If they approve the proposition and
will work for it, it can be secured.
The secretary of the chamber was in
~structed to communicate with Repre-
sentative Isaac Bacharach and Sena-
tors Edge and Frelinghuysen, asking
that they use their influence to have
an item inserted in the mex annual
appropriation for funds necessary to
purchase a plot of ground and to erect
a suitable building for post office pur-
poses here.
Another important matter freely
discussed at the meeting was the need
of a hospital in this city. No definite
action was taken in the matter at this
meeting, but it was deferred until a
future meeting. The chamber men,
bers feel that this is an important
matter to the city and desire express
sions from citizens as to what sup
port a movement for a hospital would
receive if it were properly started
here.
A committee of three members,
Walter w. Whitman, Fred Thompson
and Edward Bigard, was named to
revise the Constitution and Bylaws
of the chamber. One of the matters
discussed in this connection was the
admission of women to membership in
the chamber. 1t was stated that
women we're being admitted to Cham
bers of Commerce and other civic
bodies in other cities and that the
time had arrived here to admit them
to the Chamber of Commerce.
Chairman Louis Allen reported on
the recen dinner-dance given at Lily
Lake Park. The affair was a great
success. both socially and financially.
The report was accepted and the COM
mittee discharged with thanks.
City Clerk Andrews explained the
new system of house numbering about
TO be put into effect in the city, and
asked the cooperation of the cham
Der members in having this matter
fully understood by the citizens gen
orally.
