TRAIN KILLED FRANK KINGS
SETTER DOG

On Saturday evening, the 10th, the
4 o'clock express on the Pennsylvania

of a nice disposition and was well
liked by all who liked dogs and knew
her. This was the fifth bird dog that

CITY COMMISSIONERS IN WEEKLY
SESSION

The second regular weekly meeting
of the Wildwood City Commissioners
in the second month of 1928 was con-
vened by the Mayor last Tuesday af-
ternoon the 18th, at the usual hour,
2 o'clock. AS it was the seventh
weekly session of the brand new year
our city legislators, judging from the
gravity of their demeanor, were SEEM
inglyconscious of the fact that since
considerable distance has been COW
cred and that times endless current is
pressing us steadily onward toward
the destined goal, in black DEFENDERS
close. Though in the arrangement of
our, modern calendar the second month
was made the shortest one, yet to
Americans at least this little month
is fraught with a significance all it's
own; for embraced within it's scope
two dates appear, designated as legal
holidays, February 18th and Febru-
airy 22d, the latter being the natal day
of Washington; the former that of
Lincoln, two personalities whose po-
I6uL lulu6UC6o are 1nulooOluDly llAhOu
with the destinies of the great Repub-
lie of the western world. AS long as
American ideals shall survive and the
spirit of liberty continue to animate
the lives of the American people the
names of Washington and Lincoln
shall never be forgotten, but shall
ever be considered a, safe source of
guidance and of noble ispiration-two
of the few immortal names that were
not born to die.
When the minutes of the previous
February meeting had been disposed
of the customary weekly reports were
asked for. The weekly tax report in
variably heads the list and for the
week previous was given as follows:

TALK, TALK And MORE TALK
IN ANTl-SHIP BILL DRIVE
Opponents of Measure Show No Signs
Today of Abandoning Their
I'ilibustcring Campaign

Washington, Feb 21.-Presenting
unbroken ranks and armed with more
material for continuing their cam
paign of talk and more talk senate
opponents of the shipping bill resum-
ed their filibuster today with no end
in sight. Yesterday Senator Morris
Sheppard talked for seven hours
himself.
Counting as the first score for their
forces the recess voted shortly before
midnight on motion of Senator Jones.
Republican, Washington, in charge of
the bill who had threatened to hold
the senate in session all last night if
necessary the obstructionist members
were ready to continue the tactics to-
day.
Plans of the group cooperating in
the fight on the bill composed largely
of democrats, but including several
republicans, contemplated lengthy
speeches by dozen or more senators.
They claimed sufficient strength to
carry the fight through by speeches
alone to the end of the week even
if the senate remained in session con-
tnuously. 1t appeared probable how
ever that the procedure of roll calls
and speeches would be varied by an
early vote on the pending motion to
supplant the shipping bill with the
filed milk measure.
