Victor sehertzInser Has Good Record
Victor Schertzinger, producer-direc-
tor of THE Kingdom Within" ap-
pearing at the Bijou theater Sunday
and Monday, has a long and enviable
record. He was educated at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and is one of
the pioneers in the motion picture
game. Mr.. Schertzinger has put his
best efforts into this picture, and the
result is a masterpiece of the silent
drama. It was an inspiration, said
he, to mould his story into a picture,
both on account of the exceptional
character of the tale itself and the In
tense interest which 1t aroused In the
players.

GOVERNORS VETO
FOR TWO MEASURES

Governor Denney sent back to the
Senate Tuesday morning with his veto
Senator Moore's bill abolishing the
present State Board of Supplies and
providing for a new board, and Sena-
tor J. Prettyman's bill to change the
name of Thomas Anthony Ingram, of
Lewes, to Thomas Richards Ingram.
The Moore bill would abolish the
present board of supplies consisting
of the Governor, the Secretary of
State and the State Treasurer, and
provide for a new board to consist OF
the Governor, the State Treasurer and
two to be appointed by the Governor,
the latter two to receive 5000 a year.
It would greatly increase the duties
and powers of the board.
Governor Denney takes the stand
that under the bill, the board would
buy all the supplies for every agency
of the State; that it would be placing
too much additional work on the Gov
ernor and State Treasurer and that II
would be impossible to find two men
for membership on the board, who
would do the work required of them
for 5000 a year.
In vetoing the other bill Governor
Denney points out that there is now
a law under which a name can be
changed. Under this law referred to
ali that is necessary is for a person
to petition the Superior Court IN me
county in which he lives for the
change of name.

because of the fact that he has rarely
done concert work outside of New

of John Denis Mehan, and for some

CONFERENCE OPENS
AT DOVER APRIL nth

work sometimes is IN outline of the
argument of a chapter. More often it
is a question to be answered, or some
subject to be discussed, but in all
cases it is based directly upon what
the student has been reading in bis
text. By this work he tests for him
self, as well as reveals to the eXamin-
er whether he has mastered the
thought of the text. In this way, a
school of correspondence has been
developed following the methods of
the best correspondence schools.
In over forty-five conferences of the
church, summer schools have been es-
tablished. By vote of the conference,
the undergraduates are required to be
present at the conference schools.
The school is held at the seat of an
educational institution, with a term
of not less than ten days. Here the
examiners, become teaching facul
ty. The prime advantage of this con-
ference school is, that it brings the
examiners and students intimately to-
gether. The man who has been work.
ing by himself gains stimulus from
classroom discussion and public ad-
dresses. The school also provides for
supplementary lectures and courses
of instruction by men of pre-eminent
ability.
There has been a general demand in
the church for graduate courses of
study for men who have completed
the conference course. In seeking to
meet this demand, the Commission on
Conference Courses of Study has pre-
pared three courses for graduate
work:
1. A study of Johns Gospel.
2. A study of jeremiah.
8. A subject in the field of System
attic Theology.
This work is taken by correspond
ence, and each student has the indi-
vidual attention of an instructor from
one of our theological seminaries.
The members of the Board of Exam
iners of this conference who have this
work in charge are: DR.. T. F. Beau
champ, Selbyville, chairman; DR.. V.
P. Northrup, Richardson Park, regis
trar; DR.. E. w. Mcdowell, Middle

BOY ARRESTED Here FOR
SEVERAL STORE ROBBERIES

Lieutenant Joseph Gutowski clear
ed up a series of store robberies and
entries Sunday night when he found
a fourteen-year-old boy coming
from the cellar of the Amboy Light
ing Company's store at Smith and
Mcclellan street. This store a
been b~urglarized twice during the
past three months by someone seek
ing cash and last year 1t was visit
ed in a like manner.
The culprit denied having been
guilty of any thefts when first ar
rested but a search of his home re-
yealed one of two searchlights TAX
en- from the Amboy Lighting Com
panv on July 8. The boy then ad-
mitted his guilt, according to Lieu
tenant Gutowski. The boys mother
said he told her he had bought the
s%earchlight with money he had saw
cd. The youth is held in $500 bail
for the juvenile court at New
Brunswick on Friday morning.
Last year when a series of small
robberies in Smith street stores was
solved, this boy was one of those ar
rested. Seven stores were entered
by the youth last year., according
to the police, as various stolen ar
ticles were later found hidden away
in a house by the authorities. When
similar %robberies were reported this
year, the boy was suspected but was
not detected until Sunday night
when Detective Gutowski saw him,
followed him and arrested him.
The boy was placed on probation
following his arrest last year. This
year he is charged with taking SGT
in cash from the Amboy Lighting
Company on the night of May Z, en-
having been gained through a
front cellar window. The boy is
charged with getting through a eel
lar window and breaking a panel in
the door of the o. K. Electrical Sup
ply Company store at 224 Smith
street on May 81. Failing to find
any money, nothing was touched. On
July 9 the Amboy Lighting Company
was again entered, $3.50 and two
searchlights being taken. Detective
Gutowski said the boy had again at
tempted to enter the place Sunday
night when he saw him coming out
of the cellar.

SEWER KICK
FOR METUCAEN
Petitions Signed Against Pro-
posed Improvement in
Borough

METUCHEN, July 24-Before
the expiration of the time limit in
which objections were to be filed in
connection with the proposed sewer
system petitions against the sewer
procedure was filed and signed by
some hundred taxpayers. The chief
reasons for the objection as given n
the petition are that there seems 10
be the belief that no sewer is need
ed, and that the ost Of building Of
the improvement is far too high and
further that the sewer although saa-
itarv would not be inadequate.
At the meeting of the borough
council on August 6 the eve ques-
ton is to be brought up and a de-
cision reached whether tho petit
toners have a ten per cent majority
which legally checks the councils
proposal. Charles Mundy and
Charles Fairweather, two of the
taxpayers leading the opposition,
are of the opinion that they have a
sufficient percentage required to stop
the sewer building.
1t was intimated this morning that
in case the sewer program would
fall through at the present moment
due to the objections, a special cleo
ton vote will be taken next fall TO
insure the construction of a sewer.
