GYPSY BAND APPREHENDED

This Friday morning band of gyp-
sizes was apprehended at the Wilson
Line wharf as they were about to
take the II o'clock boat to Whining
ton. A phone call had come in from
Woodstown that the band was wanted
for alleged stealing of money and
goods near Woodstown and short
time later the State Trooper, who has
charge of this region, came sailing
into town and as we go to press the
band is at Borough Hall awaiting
verdict.
The band is certainly travelling in
de luxe style, as the old-fashioned
horse drawn vehicle has passed out of
their usage as a necessary part of
their equipment. Now they travel in
automobiles and most of them are of
the better makes, while the Ford is
not in their class. Of the six cars in
the party, two bore Illinois tags, while
the others had California, Wisconsin,
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania Ii

GREET ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE

ABOUT forty persons, mostly women
met at the home of Mrs. William A.
Summerill, 10 S. Broad Street. last
Friday evening to greet Mrs. Mary
K. {. Clayton, the Democratic cand-
date for Assembly. Some were from
Salem and Woodstown.
Mrs. Clayton acted schairman and
introduced others. Former Judge Ed.
Waddington, of Woodstown, spoke on
the good record Governor George S.
Silzer is making. His making the
finest appointments as State High
way Commissioners and forcing the
Republican Senate to accept them
gained the admiration of all the State.
1t was necessary for him to have a
Legislature to support him in other
reforms.
Col. D. Stewart Craven, of Salem,
said that the Democratic party in
Salem County was united as never be-
fore. Past differences are bygones.
With the admirable candidate for SEN
ator, Leon Robbins, and the highly
esteemed candidate for Assembly, Mrs.
Mary R. c. Clayton, the greatest of
opportunities was given dissatisfied
RepuDlcdnS TO nelp eject fepfeC-
atives who had the confidence of the
people. They will be representatives
of tn e people and not of few self
appointed leaders.
Mr.. Craven said this is the oppor-
tunity for the women of Salem County
to show their appreciation of their
suffrage to get out with united forces
to elect Mrs. Clayton 70 the legislature
They should get out to the polls and
bring their neighbors.
He was glad to see them taking a
lively interest in Penns Grove and felt
assured that the Democrats would elect
their whole ticket at the election Nov
ember 9Th.
Mr.. Robbins and Robert w. Kidd,
candidate for Sheriff made a few fell
icitating remarks to the ladies', as did
others.
1t was the largest gathering of
Democratic women voters ever held
in Penns Grove and an inspiration for
new ideals and hopes was given by the
speakers.

To Make Penns Grove
Fourth Class City
Council Considers Making AppIi-
cation to Legislature

Owing to the Council chamber being
used for polling places for the third
and fourth election districts on Tues
aay' the Council meeting was ad-
Jou1ned until Wednesday night.
President Robert NJ. Walker presid-
ed over the meeting which lasted until
III O'Clock with varied lot of dis
cusslons under consideration which are
not for publicity at present. James
sparks, the Assistant County Engi-
neer, was present and entered into the
discussion OF the present new hard
surface streets. To that end another
meeting will be held on next Tuesday
night at s o'clock.
Chairman X. M. Walker, of the light
committee, recommended that a new
light be placed at the corner of Willis
and Virginia Avenue, and it was or
dered done.
The proposition of changing the
Borough into fourth class CITY
was entered into and it seemed to be
the opinion of all that a change would
be advisable for many reasons, of
winch would be more police power. An
application to the next legislature
would be all that is necessary to make
the change.
The condition of the Borough
finances are as follows: Current ex-
pense account, S7,241.37; special ac-
count, $5,419.11; license fees and mis-
cellaneous revenue, $1,92768; Trust
Fund account, 5000; street improve
ment account, S7,24999.

Mechanics Win Fifth
Game Of Series
After Dropping First Three
Games They Come
Back Strong

After being trailed by the jinx for
three games the Mechanics have at
last found themselves and came away
with victories on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. Last nights
game was merely a repetition of the
the night before and they went in and
played good sound baseball which the
Operators could not beat. However
the "Ops" helped the Mechanics along
in the first inning by giving them a
good start of runs as a result of three
errors. Two more were added in the
third making a total of nine while the
best the Operators could do was to
push two across in the fifth inning
with no hits.
To start off, Engle dropped the
throw which would have put Hunter
out, but, nevertheless, Kille caught him
going to second. Mercer singled and
then Brown let two get thru him at
second base when Patterson came
across with the necessary ingle which
cored Mercer and Pennington.
"Shackie' started it off again in the
third with a hot one to left field.
Mercer's sacrifice and Pennington's
throw-out put him on third. Price
pounded one out to Matthews who
misjudged and then dropped it, while
Hunter scored. Then Joe Brunham-
mer went for two bases, scoring Price.
Brown got hit in the fifth and
Creamer followed him to base an a
felder's choice which failed to get
Brown at second. Mckee was thrown
out while the two runners advanced.
Peck hit to third and the Operators
would have been retired had not Mer-
Ger juggled the ball so long and then
lost his balance, while Brown and
Creamer crossed the plate. With one
out in the last inning Brown hit out
triple in making a strong bid at
tying the score. Creamer singled
thru third, but Brown could not ad-
vance. Mckee hit a fast one to Pat

APPROACHING DESTINATION

Ihe three Nixon boys, who left
Penns Grove on September 9th, trav-
cling a la Ford, having been having
great experiences as they cross the
continent, and Grads have been receivd
almot daily by their parents as they
advance.
They crossed the Mississippi at st.
Loui on the 18th. From thence they
hit Kansas City and going on across
the Great Plainal region made some
attempts at catching prairie dogs and
jack rabbits, but they were too fast
for them.
Touching at Trinidad, Colorado, on
the 22nd, they had met ten other cars
which also had Los Angeles as their
destination and made a very jolly
motor party. Las Vegas, New Mexico,
was their stop on the following day
and the last word received is from
Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the
oath.
They have had good fortune with
them 81 far with only minor stops for
repairs and if the good luck continues
they will reach Los Angeles on Satur-
day.

ELKS MINSTRELS

The Elks Minstrel Show, which will
be presented at the Broad Theatre on
Wednesday it is believed will surpass
any Of their previous shows and any
thing ever given by local talent. There
will be no slow moments during the
two hours Of solid laughter and the
curtain will give the audience only one
opportunity to catch their breath
from the mirth that such end men as
Bill Adams, Joe Craig, Ben Dennis
and James Mallet are bound to bring
to their auditors. c. D. Campbell. as
lnterlocutor, will take care that the
black faced comedians do not cease in
their wise cracking for moment.
The first part of the program will
be "a Night in Songland' and it
promises all that the name implies.
Some of the best soloists of Penns
Grove will perform and be supported
by chorus of forty.
The second part of the program will
be Knockout" which the name of
Jimmy Walker, as Izzy Cohen, in the
head lines implies at first sight. The
novel title of this tabloid comedy by
George McBray is Mixed Nuts.
Take it which ever way you wish. The
scene of this funny skit is laid in the
lobby of .'The Hotel Dip'pe,' near the
race track at Saratoga Springs, New
York. Izzy is the proprietor of the
hotel and Buttons his bell hop, is
none other than Bill Adams, while
Jack Swort, Fresh Salesman" play
ed by Joe Craig and Chas. Campbell,
as "Cokey joe" should present a great
combination.
There will be an colo" consisting
of a male quartette, and a brand new
speciality by the inseparables in the
comedy field, Edgar and Werner. A
special act will be put on by Hoffman
and Plummer, of Salem, while Bill
Adams and Jimmy Walker will render
several musical numbers.
The sale of tickets is now on and the
admission will be well worth the so
and Is cents. The proceeds will 90
for the benefit of the Elks new home
which is fast becoming a reality.

Otto J. Barkdull
EleCtrOCuted at Plant
Catcher of Service-Engineers
Team Meets Death on
Electric Welder

The sudden news of the death OF
Otto. j. Barkdull at the Dye Plant on
Monday afternoon was very depress-
ing to great number in this region.
Going to work on the four o'clock
shift at the Deep Water Plant, he be-
gan work on an electric welder in the
Engineering Building shortly after
wards. 1t is believed that there were
some bare wires on the extension used
to connect up the welder and a great
electric current went thru his body as
he inserted the joining plug. Other
workmen came to his assistance and
the plant doctor worked on him for
some time, but, altho he regained con-
sciousnes for some time, it was i'm
possible to retain his life.
Mr.. Barkdull is the son-in-law of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry D. Sickler, of
Salem, and is survived by widow and
two small children, Carolyn and
Vernon. With his family he has been
making his home at 105 Deep Water
Village, where he is held in esteem by
the people of that community and they
all extend deepest sympathy to the
bereaved family.
Burial was in the First Baptist Gem
etery, Salem, on Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Barkdull, or Snapper" as he
was known to all the baseball fans,
was one of the finests spirited men
in the Dye Works Baseball League,
in which he was a member of the S.
and E. team. AS the man behind the
bat he was a steadying element to the
team and with his jolly spirit did
much to keep the morale of that team
up. AS sportsman he was one in
deed, and a finer man has never play
ed on the diamond.
