Conference For Game
Law Harmony
New Jersey Federation of County
Boards of Agriculture Asks
Meeting With SpOrtsmen

Trenton-For the purpose of pre-
senting matters it deems of common
interest, the New Jersey Federation
of County Boards of Agriculture has
requested a hearing by the New Jer-
sew Fish and Game Conservation
League, and it is probable that joint
conference of representatives of the
organization will be held within a
week or so.
The federation action ostensibly is
the outcome of a legislative confer
ence of organized agriculture groups
under the leadership of the county
boards body and the State Grange
which was held at Trenton, Septem-
Der 21, last. At that session a COM
mittee was appointed to confer with
the sportsmen with view to har-
mony on legislative program.
1t is probable that subjects for con-
sideration will include the question
of an open season for doe deer in
South Jersey, the trespass problem
and the matter of permitting farmers
to allow their dogs to run at large on
their own property at any time. A
legislative measure covering the last
named privilege failed to pass at Tren-
ton this year, as also did one to per-
nit the killing of does in certain
southern counties. The league took a
neutral stand on the latter bill, though
it pointed out that to remove the ban
on does would increase the hazard to
human life.
One of the prime factors in the or
ganization of the league was the hope
that through it the differences that
exist between farmer and sportsman
be ironed out. It's activities from the
beginning have indicated its sympa-
thy with the farmers problems. One
of its first Official acts was the au-
thorization of standing reward for
the conviction of any person wilfully
damaging private property while fish
ing or hunting, and its trespass law
carrying a penalty of $500 or six
months Imprisonment for such an of
fense, is sti1l fresh on the statute
books.
Incidently, the activities of the
Federation of County Boards of Agri-
culture are reputed to have been re-

Jury Returns Acquittal on Ho-

Ten Hours

Another Hobart law violation was
was heard on Wednesday and was car
fled over until Tuesday. Howard
Smith, Of Warrington Township, was
arrested in August by the Sherif's
office and five I0-gallon carboys of
corn mash was found concealed on his
premises, which was produced in evi-
dence.
The jury went out at 1850 and re-
turned at 9.10 with a verdict of not
guilty.
The charges against Paulina Vani-
cola for violation of the Hobart Pro-
hibition Act, at her home, on Cumber-
land Street, Penns Grove, as the re-
suit of raid made last December by
the Penns Grove police, are to be
heard today. The jury was picked
Thursday and Judge Mecum dismissed
all other jurors as this is the last case
for the September term of court.
In the Salem County Court on Wed
nesday James Santucci was tried on
a charge of transporting liquor. After
a spirited trial which lasted three hrs.
he was acquitted by the Jury who
deliberated for five hours.
OFSunday, August 26, Santucci
was taking a party of Italians to a
farm house in Lower Penns Neck
Township to celebrate the 18th
birthday of the daughter of one of
the party. A truck with more of the
party preceded the car which the
defendent drove. A constable who
tries to ape a state trooper in uniform
blew his whistle for the truck to stop.
A man from the auto went back and
took two bottles of home made Italian
wine from the truck and placed it in
the car. Santucci was arrested under
the prohibition oct and charged with
transporting liquor. The constables
said the car had moved ahead 80 #.
which was the distance transported.
The defendants denied moving the car
after they were ordered to stop. The
defendant knew nothing of what the
bottles contained as they were placed
in the parcel without the knowledge
of the defendant.
The constables were Rourk of Pal
atine and Carman. of Elmer who were
hired by Upper Penns Neck Town
ship committee to stop speeding autos
thru Caneys Point last summer and
who reaped a harvest from those who
in their estimation was driving in a
reckless manner.
Mrs. Anna Brennan was acquitted
by direction of the Judge as no proof
was offered connecting her with the
possession of sole of liquor on Airy
Avenue in Pens Grove. 4

Council ReneWs Elec-
trio Light Contract
Increase In Candle Power of
Ninety-nine Lights Will Give
Better Illumination

julius Theobold, the district man
ager of the Electric Company of New
Jersey, appeared before the Borough
Council on Tuesday evening to present
the matter of renewing the contract
for the street lights of the Borough,
which expired on October 1st.
1t was decided to increase the cand-
lie power of SO of the present lights
from 80 to 100 candle power and the
rate will be a nominal increase, max
ing the charge per light under the
new contract $28 per year. This is
an increase of 25 percent in light with
a ~ percent increase in cost. The
twenty 400 candle power lights will
remain the same and the charge per
year will be $50 per light.
Inquiry was made as to the cost of
new lighting fixtures and underground
wiring, but the cost was so great that
the council would not even take it into
consideration. The increase in candle
power of the 80 lights was deemed adj
visable, by a majority of the members
present, but Mayor Kidd felt that it
would be better to retain the present
lights, and if any increase in the light
ing expense was contemplated, he
would consider that it would be more
desirable to give new lights in the
parts of the Borough which are at
present in total darkness rather than
to give more light on the streets which
are already illuminated
Due to the stormy night and i'll
health of some of the members only
bare quorum was in attendance and
Mayor Kidd was not able to call the
meeting to order until about S.45 when
Messrs. Gi11ison, Sailor and Dolbow
responded to roll cali. Solicitor
| Grier was In attendance. In the alb
sence of Clerk Strub1e, who is now at
his new position in Ocean City, J. P.
Boaz acted as clerk at the meeting,
while the council still holds the
vacancy under consideration, as the
. due resignation of Mr.. Struble has
not as yet been received.
The finance of the Borough as pre-
scented by the treasurer, ID. P. Feather
-er, are as follows:
Balance last m@eting S,459.12

Popular Senator
Wins New LaureAS

SENATOR and Mrs. George
Wharton Pepper of Pennsyl-
vania have fitted into the mosaic
of the politico-social life Of Wash
ington in the most comfortable
way imaginable. And no two
people in town are more in de-
mand as dinner guests. The Sen
ator is regular Teller" and Mrs.
Pepper, too-if it is permissible
to apply such a small-boy term
to a woman so dignified and so
correct.
There's story going the
rounds which illustrates one rea-
son for the Senator's popularity.
It seems that at a dinner given
recently for or by the delegates
to the Central American confer
ence he was seated between a
lady who. spoke only a few words
of English and a lady who spoke
none at all. Now the Senator has
little French and less Spanish, so
things looked pretty uninspiring.
In a few moments, however, the
guests on the other side of the
table heard gales of merriment
coming from Senator Peppers
corner; and in a little while neigh
bors were listening in" on a con-
versation which went something
like this:
please tell me''-to the lady
who spoke a little English-"how
can say to the lady on my
right, you are looking supremely
lovely tonight?" Then a burst of
rapid Spanish from the lady in
the case, followed by fervent and
evidently amusing attempts from
the Senator to repeat what she
said. A burst Of laughter. More
English words like bright eyes"
beautiful hands" More Spanish
and attempted Spanish. More
laughter.
Then, after a time it became
evident that the ladies were
stringing the Senator a wee bit,
that sometimes he was saying
something just a little different
from what he intended to say
with possibly a soupcon of the
risque, quite unbeknownst to the
dignified Gentleman from Penn
sylvania. So before the evening

with her husband from Belgium;
and that she will accompany him
to Chile. You know he was
United States envoy to Chile in
the Wilson regime before he was
named ambassador to Mexico
but he was a bachelor then. It
was while he was serving as
ambassador to Mexico-mostly by
hong distance from Washington
that he married. So while Mr..
Fletcher knows his way around
Santiago de Chile probably as
well az he knows his way around
New York or Washington, it will
not be such familiar territory to
Mrs. Fletcher.
Apparently the ladies are rather
generally going on that trip. Mrs.
Pomerene tells me that she ex-
poets to tag along" and Is per-
fectly delighted at the prospect.
And while haven't happened to
talk to Mrs. Kellogg, ! have no
doubt that she will accompany
her husband. Both the Kelloggs
and the Pomerenes are awfully
popular with the official set, and
there is a general impression that
they are likely to be kept in
Washington as members Of some
of the numerous bipartisan
boards and commissions. Just
at present they are in great de-
mand socially by people who want
to do something for" them be-
fore they leave Washington.
So they are figuring quite
prominently on all the dinner
lists, and the ladies are the
heroines Of luncheons and teas
galore, and Mrs. Pomerene at
least is rather distressed that,
being, as they are, in the throes
of packing up after long resi-
dence in Washington, she simply
cant give a few dinners and
things herself They are giving
up their apartment at the High
lands. and she is literally pack
ing on the jump between parties.
She has gone home to Canton

for this week.end--at least that
was her plan when I talked to
her last wednesday--to visit for
q few days with her mother. who
is a hale old lady of well past
eighty. Mrs. Pomerene says that
her mother Is really in wonder
fully good health. but considering
her advanced age, she would not
dream of going off on a long
trip without first spending q few
days with her. And this seemed
the best chance. She was plan
ming to leave yesterday, and ex-
pected to return next Tuesday.
You know both Senator and Mrs.
Pomerene are Ohioans born and
bred. Mrs. Pomerene was Miss
Bockius, of Canton. and the
Boclxius home, where her girl
hood was passed was, and is, next
door to the Mckinley residence in
Canton. And in spite OF that
proximity she grew up a staunch
Democrat.

ing? Mrs. Barney had assembled
stars Of the opera, the stage and
the dance to take part and it was
an unforgettable occasion.
Always dreaming of a national
theater-a theater in which the
arts of the world might have rep
resentation-she had hoped that
it might grow out of the Sylvan
Theater project. So far this has
been hope deferred. but Mrs.
Barney is still interested and still
breaches the doctrine of a ma
tional-or, better still, an inter-
misunderstanding house for drama
in the Capital.
Washington has too long been
content to depend upon New York
for it's dramatic diversion. In
no other country does such a sit
uation exist. London. Paris, Ber-
lin, Vienna; in fact, all the Euro.
pean cour:ries are centers OF
drama; as;z Washington is log
ically such a center for all that
is best in the theater.
There Is a movement on foot
now which had it's origin among
theatrical producers in New York
few weeks ago for the launch
ing of some sort of a national
theater movement. And why
shouldn't it revolve about Wash
ington? There should be some
public spirited person in Wash
ington to champion such an idea
and undoubtedly Mrs. Barney's
able assistance could be enlisted
in bringing such a project to
success.

TWO unusual groups witnessed
private showings Of motion
pictures OF wild animals taken in
the African jungles by A. M.
Newman, the noted traveller and
lecturer, last week. The first
group assembled at the home Of
Congressman and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth. The other was q
honey" Intimate little party at
the White House.
Mrs Longworth, who was Alice
Roosevelt, arranged the first
event and assembled q distin-
guished list Of guests. The White
House party was arranged be-
cause of the interest Of both
President and Mrs. Harding and
was unusual in the respect that
it was the first bit Of real en-
tertainment provided for Mrs.
Harding since her illness began.
Several Of Mrs. Longworth's
guests knew Mr.. Newman, hav.
ing been with him at various
times during his travels when
they too, were sightseeing around
the world. One of them, Chair
man Albert D. Lasker Of the
Shipping Board, was a school
mate. President Harding was
to have attended Mrs. Long
worth's party which took place
last Sunday afternoon, but his
recent illness caused his ply
sicians to order him to remain
indoors. His interest was keen,
however, and through Mr.. Las,
ker he extended an invitation
to Mr.. Newman to bring his
pictures to the White House and
show them to Mrs. Harding and
himself
At the Longworth party there
were present Senators Borah,
Smoot, Mccormick and others,
Mrs. Longworth's brother, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, the Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy. and mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps repre-
senting their countries here at
Washington. There was a run
ming fire Of conversation during
the showing Of the pictures and
many jests built up from the
observations made in explanation
by Mr.. Newman.
At the White House in addition
to Mrs. Harding, General Sawyer
and Commander Joel Boone, her
attending physicians, the Pres
ident, there was also present
Speaker and Mrs. Gillett. A
special projecting apparatus was
set up in the room adjoining Mrs.
Harding's boudoir, and there in
the most comfortable surround
ings she witnessed the African
beasts moving about in their ma
tive heath, while Mr.. Newman
answered questions generally.

effort to provide Mrs. Harding
