Absent Voter Law of 1920
Not Repealed.

Frank Robertson, Attorney Gen.
eral, has given out an opinion as to
the absent Noter law. a part OF
which follows:
1t is my opinion that the 1918
Law was probably superseded by
the 1920 Absent Voters Law, which
is broader and more extensive in
scope.
1t therefore follows that under
the 1920 statute, electors absent, or
anticipating being absent from the
county may vote in general and pri-
mary elections, as provided for in
the 1920 statute.

COLORED NANNY IS
MOURNING FOR SON
Mrs. Boldly Blames Mar for
Teaching Son to Kill

New York, Jan. 11.-Luther Boldly
self-confessed slayer of two New Yorl
detectives was expected to arrive here
today from Philadelphia where HI
was captured on Monday.
Extradition papers were signed las
night by Governor Sproul of Pennsyl-
vania and police officials stated there
would be no delay in bringing the
negro back to this state Trial of the
slayer will begin almost Immediately
it was asserted today.
While the legal machinery for
bringing Boldly into court was being
speeded up, there was in Montclair, N.
j., an aged woman who had been
caught up by the whirlwind of fury
that caused Boldly to strike down the
two detectives.
Mother Seems Stunned.
Huddled in a chair, listening to
newspaper accounts of the capture of
Boldly, she seemed stunned by the
sudden apparition of death which had
sent the slayer, a hunted thing across
the state of New Jersey and led him
to the squalid room in the Quaker
City where he yielded to his captors.
She was Boddy's mother.
Unable to read, but not unable to
forget that this colored boy with a
livid scar on his face was still her
son, she gave thanks that he had not
been killed by his pursuers. She said
that war and it's experiences had
their sequel in Thursday nights

FIRE BELL WON'T STRIKE.
Superintendent Cooley Finds That Ap.
paratus Is Out of Order

George Cooley, superintendent of
the city electrical department, dis
covered that the striking apparatus in
the big fire bell in the Baptist church
was out of commission due to the
settling of the tower in which it
hangs. The discovery was made dur
ing an inspection of the striking APP
paratus and showed that If there had
been a bell alarm within the past few
days, the bell would not have been
sounded.
Although this would in no way af-
feet the bells in the firehouses the au-
thorities of the church were notified
of the condition. There is no danger
from the tower settling and the cost
Of remedying the matter would not
be very great. 1t is hoped that the
condition will be bettered in very
short time.
