SIX REPORTED.

Dozen Bills Reported Returned By Jefferson Grand Jury . Charge Assault With ; ; Intent to Murder an9 ss
 Kidnapping -<~

Twelve indictments chargIs S as- sault with intent to murder and kid naping were returned against six men in the Bowling case in partial re- port rendered to Judge William E. Fort by the Jefferson county grand jury at 5:30 o'clock Tuesday after noon, it was reported In court house circles Tuesday night. The grand jury recessed until May ?. Twenty seven other indictments were includ- ed in the partial report.
 Action of the grand jury, accord ing to general opinion, confirmed the statement made by officials before the inquistorial body convened. that cases against men involved in the Bowling case were the most com- pletely worked up ever presented in a similar case.
 Capiases for the men indicted will probably be issued Wednesday. Spec ulation was rife Tuesday night as to those linked with the case by the grand jury. Their names will not be known until capiases are issued We'd nesday.
 Nine Now Accused.
 These indictments, if reports be true bring the total of men accused in the Bowling case to nine. William Ierby, Porter Newman and E. J. Jacks were indicted by the grand jury which was discharged March 20. They are scheduled to go to trial May 2S.
 Ten men or more are said to haze been named in statement made to officers by C. W. Tyson, who is un- derstood to have appeared before the grand Jury now in session. Tie names of these men have been the matter of much speculation. From time to time The Age-Herald has published several. Included were J. r. Ford. Sam Cargo. Yerby. Newman, Jacks and George Moore. formr city street commissioner. It is not known whether these men were indicted by the grand jury Tuesday after being in session two days.

SECOND TERM
 THORN T0 PRESIDENT
Harding's Western Trip To Be Given Political Significance Despite His AvoWed
 Of EscheWing
 Politics

WASHINGTON, April 1o.-Presi dent Harding Is trying desperately to tear off the second term label which has been fastened on him by the recent announcement of Attorney General Daugherty. That casual statement, coming from Hardings S old political adviser. has been gen. orally accepted as an official an | nouncement of the Presidents inten tion to run for collection. It has re suited in giving an embarrassing political color to every act and ut terance of the President.
 He has become so alarmed that an authorized spokesman at the White House. in a moment of eXasperation Tuesday. declared that if the coun- try insists In regarding his contem plated western trip as political tour, the President would stay at home and play with Laddie Boy IL was emphasized that an inspection of Alaska is the principal purpose Of the trip and that the addresses in number of cities on the way to the coast and back are merely incidental. Not Rebuke To Dausherty.
 Hardings distress over the politi- cal reaction to the announcement of his candidacy is not construed as a rebuke to Daugherty. At first Hard ing apparently was well pleased with the Daugherty announcement. recog nizing that it's real purpose was to head off the republican progressives like Hiram Johnson, who were talk ing advantage of the Presidents silence regarding 1924 to advance their own prospects. The President was completely taken by surprise when the statement provoked an avalanche of political speculation. It has made him political candi- date one year in advance of the nominating convention.
 Democrats have been quick to shoot their arrows at the weak spot thus exposed in the Harding armor.
 The democratic national committee, in a statement Issued Tuesday, took occasion to make the most of the situation.
 Reactions to be noted in the newspapers throughout the country following the announcement of Presi- dent Harding's candidacy for re- lIonliliation and Reelection indicate that the influence of his appeals to the people during his swing around the circle last summer will be great ly impaired by reason of this notice of his desire for second term" the committee stated.
 He's Candidate Now.
 Tt is believed that it is this fact which has prompted intimations that President Harding has come to re- gard Attorney General Daugherty's statement as premature and 'unfor- tunate.' Whether MT. Daugherty pushed Mir, Harding or whether he fell into his posture of suppliance the fact is that he now publicly oc- cupies that attitude, and he will be considered and judged rather as a candidate of his party than as the dividual, newspaper and organization will be free to discount his state ments as those of a political self seeker and to suspect him of advo-

home, 1909 Pacific avenue, after an ILL
ness of several months. All Five Mile

He showed that these improvements
would not only increase the income OF
the state but would also increase the
ratables along the entire coast. He
urged that the work begun at the
southern extremity Of the county be
continued northward.
Joseph Champion and Mr.. Ogden
were heard, after which County
Treasurer Harry Headley, of Ocean
CITY. spoke, saying that he requested
that the Ocean ~City-Somers Point
road (bought last year by the state)
be hard surfaced for about a mile and
a half. and by so DOING make it pos
sible for people to travel from ocean
City to washington, d. c., without
leaving hard surfaced roads.
Mavor COPYRIGHT Smith and Mr..
Laning wound up the speakers from
Cape May County, both gentlemen
speaking strongly in favor of the pro-
posed bridge project, saying that the
present routes of entrance are in poor
condition and entirely inadequate.
Atlantic Stands by Cape May
Atlantic County was now heard by
the State Commissioners. They had
many well known speakers and put
forth many suggestions. They asked
for plenty and put each suggestion
forth with facts and figures to back it
up. They advocated and backed up
every particular asked for by Cape
May County, declaring that both coun-
ties are mutually concerned with the
good road projects. Among the inter-
esting figures put forth by the Allan
tic County speakers it was learned
that the assessed valuation of the Jer-
sey coast from Sandy Hook to Cape
May is three hundred millions. The
value of the agricultural sections is
275 millions. Atlantic City is assessed
at ITO millions. In 1900, a little over
20 years ago, Atlantic City's assessed
valuation was but Is millions, the
present valuation of Wildwood.
