POLICE BUSY WATCHING FOR
LUMBER THIEVES

The wildwood police force is kept
busy these nights watching for rob
bers who are visiting building con
structions after dark and making
away with hauls of building supplies.
At the building erected by the Bond
Construction Company on East Pine
avenue one night this week a large
supply of pipes and fittings were
stolen. The materials were the prop
erty of Harry Raynor, who has the
plumbing contract for the building.
Loss of lumber could not be ascer-
tanned by the contractors at present,
as it is next to impossible to judge the
amount in a pile until the final work
is finished. 1t is said that other con-
tractors have been losing materials
lately also and so the police officials
are keeping a peeled eye for these Of
tenders of the law.
Another case that has been brought
to their attention is keeping them on
the watch for a ruffian who on Tues
day night of this week attacked Miss
Helen Coombs, daughter of Shep. w.
Coombs, the merchant. Miss Coombs
was returning to her home after dark
on Tuesday evening and at Maple ave-
nue. neal the boardwalk she was ac-
costed by this stranger. She
screamed and he ran. Police have
been hearing reports of a man who
has beer hanging around the Wild
wood water works of nights lately
and it is believed that the person who
attacked Miss Coombs is the same
party.

wildwood has early bathing every
year. AS a rule Five Mile Beach be-
gins its actual surf bathing season
before the other resorts in this section.
The palm for early bathers for 1923
goes to a trio of young men of the
Island who ventured into the surf
last Sunday for a few minutes. This
trio was composed of Clarence Malley
and Fenton Harlan, of the school
faculty, and Jay Bush, Jr., of the Title
and Trust Company.
Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Ober, of At

here last week. Mr.. ODER states that

DIR. S. d. MAYHEM WON'T TAKE
BACK WIFE

The Philadelphia Bulletin on We'd
nesday evening brought to Wildwood
the account of the hearing held before
Vice Chancellor Leaning in the Cam
lem Court House on that day. The
paper says:
although his wife, from whom he
has been estranged more than two
years, said she was willing to return
to his home, DR.. Samuel D. Mayhem,
of Wildwood, N. j., said he would not
take her back. Their marital differences
were aired today before Vice Chan
cellor Leaning in the Camden Court
House. Mrs. Mayhem said she was
forced to leave her husbands home in
Wildwood with her daughter, Mary,
because of his alleged cruel treatment.
The action for divorce was instituted
by her husband. Miss Margaret c..
Brooks, Wildwood, testifiedt that in Oc-
tober, 1919, Mrs. Mayhem told her she
was going to leave her husband be-
cause she could no longer stand his
treatment. Lawrence Holmes, another
neighbors, gave similar testimony, but
added Mrs. Mayhem said her husband
drank heavily. DR.. Mayhem testified
his wife left his home with their child
in October, 1919. A short time later,
he said, she returned and removed
furniture despite his plea to her to
remain. In February, 1920, he said,
his wife lost a suit brought before
Judge Joline, in Atlantic City, for $3.50
monthly alimony. The court, he said,
ruled there was no justification for
her action. Later, he said, he volun-
tarily paid her 800 a month and sub
s%equently cut this allowance to $50
a month. Mrs. Mayhem said she was
willing to return to her husband now,
contending she thought she acted has
tily when she left him. Vice Chan
cellor Leaning reserved decision"
1t is said the Vice Chancellor de-
cided not to grant the divorce.

READING TRAIN DERAILED

When the eight o'clock train of the
Wildwood and Delaware Bay Short
Line Railroad was backing out of the
Wildwood yard on Thursday evening
after discharging it's passengers it
was derailed with the engine and car
leaving the tracks. A wrecking train
was t~elegraphed for from Camden
which arrived here about LOO A. M.
Friday morning. The crew worked
all through the balance of the morn
ing to get the contrary train back on
the track in order to permit the six
o'clock train to leave on time on Fri
day morning.

BRIDGE CONTRACTOR WAS HERE

Carl R. Camp, who was awarded the
contract a short time ago for the con-
struction of the new county bridge
over Grassy Sound, was in Wildwood a
day or two ago looking over the field
of operations on the Anglesea side.
He was accompanied by his chief en-
gineer, H. B. Neiman. The particular
object of their visit was to ascertain
best possible location for the con-
struction of a siding owe which to
shunt material of all kinds needed for
the job, the West Jersey and Seashore
stem to be tapped somewhere near
Grassy Sound station or Beech Creek.
It was stated that approximately
$4,000 worth of material will be
shipped to the eastern side of the
sounds.
AS noted in the Journal at the time
the Board of Chosen Freeholders
awarded Mr.. Camp the contract, his
bid was considerably lower than all OF
the others-so much so that the Free
holders thought maybe this contractor
did not fully understand the specifica-
tions, in consequence of which he was
asked a number of questions regard
ing his ability and equipment for un-
dertaking this big operation.
When this bridge is constructed and
the new highway leading into Five
Mile Beach finished, these projects
will mark the beginning of a new era
for wildwood and it's allied resorts.

AMERICAN LEGION ENTERTAIN
MENT AND CITATIONS

The Byron Pennington Croker Post
of the American Legion brought them
selves to the eyes of the public of Five
Mile Beach very forcibly in a big
booster entertainment held in the High
School Auditorium on Thursday even
ing of last week. The boys of the
Legion have evidently worked hard to
make this affair a success and they
surely succeeded. People learned
more about the activities of the local
Post in the two hours entertainment
than they ever knew previously.
The Legionaires had printed a large
advertising program Of the affair and
on the inside owe was a full page
letter of commentator for the Legion
written by Mayor w. COPYRIGHT
Smith.
On the second page the Legion boys
explained the purpose of the enter
tainment by saying that it was held
to inculcate a higher spirit of enthusi-
asm and interest in Legion activities
in our community, and thereby to pre-
pare it to receive the 1928 convention
of the American Legion, Department
of New Jersey, which is scheduled for
Wildwood, September 18th, 18th and
18th, 1923.
The program opened with selections
by the Wildwood City Band, the Off
cial Legion organization of Cape May
County. Invocation by Post Chaplain
Rev. Louis M. Case followed.
Singing of "The Star Spangled
Banner and the giving of the Oath of
Allegiance by the gathering which
crowded the auditorium followed.
The presentation of the Permanent
Charter to Post No. 1874 was now exc
cuted by Mayor w. COPYRIGHT Smith
and the charter was accepted by Post
Commander Alfred Winterburn.
The citation earned by the Post for
rs per cent membership for 1922 was
now presented by State Commander
A. Bruce Conlin, who then gave an in
~teresting address on the work of the
American Legion throughout the state.
Post Commander Winterburn now
returned the presentation speech of
Mayor Smith when he gave the city
the citation earned by the Post for
keeping it's entire membership en-
ployed during the winter of 1929.
The citation was accepted by Mayor
Smith.
The singing of the Wildwood song,
accompanied by the band, now fol-
lowed, after which a Past Post Com
mander's badge was presented by Post
Commander Winterburn to E. Lau-
renee Chalmers. James A. L. Harris
was also supposed to receive one of
these badges on that occasion, but on
account of sickness in his family was
unable to attend the affair.
The big five-reel picture, "Flashes
of Action" showing scenes taken by
the U. S. Signal Corps, "Over There"
came next and gave the audience a
close observation of war at its worst
and best.
The singing of America closed the
evenings entertainment.
The committee consisted of Benja-
min s.. Royles, William S. Woods and
William F. Hogan. The Legion Aux
iliarF and the Wildwood Band rem
dered valuable assistance.
