Several Women Were
Summoned AS Jurors
Judge William Smathers Orders
Grand and Petit Jurors Dis
charged Before They Start.

Many of those summoned last week
as jurors, either for the Grand or Petit
Jury, were dissatisfied because they
had been drawn and their service
would either interfere with business
arrangements or contemplated vaca
lions. The dissatisfaction was turned
into general approval when Judge
William H. Smathers announced that
all those drawn would be discharged
without service, as the drawing had
not been in compliance with all the
requirements of the law. There were
many women in the list drawn and
published.
New panels will be drawn this We'd
nesday at Mays Landing, and of course
while some who had previously been
drawn may be again selected, many
on the old list will escape jury duty
for the October Term.
This is the first time in the history
of Atlantic County that grand and
petit juries have been drawn and then
discharged without attendance at
court.
The. peculiar situation is the result
of the failure of Wilson Senseman,
Atlantic County Jury Commissioner,
to appear last Thursday, when the
panel was scheduled to be drawn.
After waiting for an hour, Judge Will
lam H. Smathers, authorized by law to
preside at the ceremony, instructed
Sheriff Malcolm Woodruff to proceed
with the drawing.
After the names had been drawn,
Judge Smathers was in doubt whether
he had followed the proper procedure.
Upon his return from Mays Landing
he studied the question and sought
the advice of other lawyers. He dis
covered an amendment to the jury act
had been passed in 1919 by the Legis-
lature which empowered him to ap-
point a temporary jury commissioner,
should the permanent commissioner
be incapacitated.
AS a result he has ordered the dis
charge of both the grand and petit
panels drawn last week and authoriz-
ed Sheriff Woodruff and Commission
er Senseman to draw new panels on
edneS

SIDEWALK BIDS
ARE DEFERRED
City Solicitor Abbott VIII Com
municate With Railroad Off
cials Regarding Nuisance.
TO MEET WEDNESDAY NIGHT

City Solicitor Albert Abbott attend
ed the adjourned meeting OF Absecon
Council on Friday night, 10 advise
Council regarding several matters
which have been hanging over for q
considerable period. In the matter of
sidewalks and curb bids, which were
received last Wednesday night and
laid over until Friday night, action
a again deferred until this Wednes-
day night, when Council will meet
again. John Garafola was the lowest
bidder, but because of some irregu-
larity in his bid as submitted he re-
Quested permission TO withdraw It.
Councilmen were not sure of their
legal position in the matter, and Il
was referred TO the Solicitor 10 make
a report Wednesday night. Edward
Goehler. of this city, was the next
lowest bidder and his bid was in prop
er form.
Another matter in which the Solioi-
tors opinion was desired was the con
templated purchase of the Lemuel
White property, embracing the swim
ming pool, which White has offered 10
the city for the sum of $1,000 for park
purposes, while the true value for
commercial purposes is said to be
about $4,000. As Council has already
passed a resolution accepting the
proposition as made by White, the
solicitor advised that it only remained
to raise the money by bonds or tenn
porary notes and to have the title ex-
amined, so that the city would be sure
of getting absolute title. Council in
structed City Engineer Raymond
Thompson TO furnish the Solicitor
with all data in his possession regard
ing this property, and to make a sur
vey if necessary 10 properly establish
the correct boundary lines. The So
licitor was then instructed TO obtain a
title policy on the land in question,
and as soon as these details are com
pleted the purchase will be consum-
mated.
The matter of the railroad blocking
street crossings with drilling freight
trains and the incessant blowing of
locomotive whistles in the city. was
discussed at length, and the Solicitor
said he would communicate &ith the
railroad 0fieisls iasHeaiafel and L.
4ute THAR frsiH nfeWS rxtreis
blocking crossings unnecessarily. and
also ask that the nuisance of constant
sounding Of locomotive whistles be
abated. If the railroads then refuse
to act the matters may be taken up in
two ways, the solicitor advised. The
whistle question would be one for in
junction proceedings in the Court of
Chancery. or a question for the Grand
Jury to determine whether or not an
indictment should be returned accord
ing to evidence produced before i.
The crossing blocking matter, he said.
was one for the Public Utilities Com
mission to handle.

COUNCIL ASKS
ANNUAL SALARY
Ordinance Providing for $500 a
Year introduced Monday Night
and Passed Second Reading.
RAILROAD PROMISES RELIEF

AT the meeting of City Council on
Monday night, an ordinance was intro
duced and passed on first and second
reading providing for the payment of
an annual salary of $500 to each mem
Der of Council. The ordinance will be
taken up for third reading at the next
regular council meeting. 1t provides
for the payment of the salary in quar-
terly installments, and is to take effect
after January first next, provided the
voters of the city decide at the No
vember election to grant such a sala-
ry. The question will be placed on
the official ballot by the County Clerk.
A similar ordinance was passed last
year, but the voters, at that time, did
not give a majority for it.
Superintendent Birch, of the Sewer
age Department, made a report to
Council in which he recommended the
immediate purchase of 5000 more iron
bands with which to strengthen the
sewer main over the meadows. 500
bands have been delivered here, but
they will only do a part of the 10000
or more feet of pipe to be taken care
of. Councilman Stephenson said that
it was the intention just now to fix up
the more faulty parts of the main, and
that more bands would not be ordered
at this time, but would be ordered
after the new appropriations were
made at the frst-of the year
Council received a notice from Kin
ewaugha Tribe of Red Men that the
annual rent for the room used by the
city for police headquarters and Police
Justice office and court would be $500
on and after January first. This mat
ter was laid owe for future action.
A resolution was passed providing
for the issuance of two temporary
school improvement bonds for $4,000
each, to raise the sum of $12,450 and
provide for interest. This money is
needed now for the new school house
at Leeds avenue.
Another resolution allowed a claim
for S4.21 for taxes assessed against
the A. M. E. Church to be relieved.
A report of the City Auditors shows
that there is only available at this
time for bonding purposes the sum of
s5710.
William Yates, who was recently
named as a temporary fireman, was
rpp0fnTed-Hs -Hpermanent fireman.
A letter which had been addressed
to City Solicitor Champion by Superin-
tendent Lewis, of the Atlantic City
Railroad, promised that in future the
blocking of the Main street crossing
would receive attention of the road
officials, and that an effort would be
made to have train crews follow their
instructions not to have the crossing
blocked unnecessarily. The Superin-
tendent stated that he would welcome
reports of specific blocking the cross
ing, and that train crews which per-
sist in so doing would either be sus-
pended or discharged.

The result of the test is as follows: One drop
of Zonite added to 100 drops of water was ap-
piled to millions of bacteria coated with saliva.
In five minutes not one was left alive. Peroxide
diluted only to made no impression whatso-
ever on the bacteria; they actually multiplied
while exposed to the solution.
Let us repeat agar. Peroxide is slightly more
efficient than most OF the poisonous prepare
tons sold to the public as antseptics. After ex-
aiming the above test it is not hard to under
stand just how much protection against germ
attack the American people have secured for the
millions they have spent for such "antiseptics."
The difference between Zonite and antiseptcs
of this character is summed up by the follow
ing fact: One Ia ounce bottle of the World War
antiseptc has more germicidal power than ten
gallons of Peroxide.
