TRESSPASSERS TO BE
PROSECUTED

The continued reports of tress-
passers who are continually invad-
ing farms in this section of Hun
terdon County have led to concerted
action being taken to apprehend and
punish the guilty parties. Game
Warden Parks, of Whitehouse Sta
ton, and Assistant Warden Norbert
Rosso, of Lambertville, have been
notified to make special efforts to
apprehend the offenders and give
them the full penalty of the law.
On the farm of Whitfield Hart
pence, in West Amwell Township,
poachers have not only been violat-
ing the cunning laws, but have kill
ed chickens, and in one instance a

ted that he will follow the course
taken by other farmers and use his

dered his resignation as member
of the Board of Education. This
action was made necessary by his
transfer from the local plant of the
Smith & Sons Corporation to the
Buffalo plant. The local plant is
being closed.
Immediately upon the acceptance
of Mr.. Thomas resignation, the
Commission approved the naming
of Ralph G. Simonton, of 65 Elm

monitor is assistant superintendent
of the Union Mills Paper Manufac-

the Baptist Church, and is superin-
tendent of the Sunday School in
that Church.
Mr.. Simonton is a thoroughly
capable man, and his appointment
will be generally approved This was
recognized by the Commission, no
doubt, and the fact that he was
so hurriedly appointed before the
election to be held next Tuesday
would indicate that the appointment
would be considere da vote-getter.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Charlie

The entertainment at Phillips
Mill on Saturday, April 26, judging
from the applause, was great
success. With this entertainment
Miss Harriet Marshall made her de
but as an impresario.
Madam X and her accompanied
proved TO be well trained perform
ers. The former is good actress and
mimic. There were lulIabys and
songs, the latter of the haunting
kind made familiar by the opera
Carmen
The costumes were lovely. In rem
dering the Spanish songs the cos
tune included the high comb, black
lace mantilla, pendant coral earrings
three inches long, and with this
consciously languishing fan com
bined to make a wonderful picture.
The songs were from the Russian,
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hay
tian French and Bask, and as far
as know her subjunctives were
perfect. Madam X speaks or sings
tWenty-six languages. Most of us
must be content to be silent in
three ut the most.
The accompanies, as usual, was
extremely modest, and was amusing
ly uncertain in acknowledging the
applause with the usual formal bow.
The Mill has been wired, and good
lighting has been assured. Coming
entertainments will be duly amour
ced, together with the price Of ad-
mission asked.

ment should remain unaltered," de-
clares Secretary Mellon in his new
book on taxation, but that is pre-
cisely the situation which the Demo-
Gratis who are fighting the Mellon
plan are trying to perpetuate. The
Democratic minority declared in
their report that "the value of all
tax-exempt securities held by these
decedents with gross estates of
S2,879,372, 1851 was not sufficient
to pay the funeral and adnIinistra-
tive expenses" Mr.. Mellon comes
back with the official record of the
estate tax of the late William
Rockefeller. His estate comprised
100000 of tax-exempt securities,
and only $7,000,000 of Standard Oil
stock. While alive he paid taxes of
perhaps S426,000 from his Standard
Oil stock, but did not pay one penny
of taxation on an income of prob
ably $1,760,000 invested in tax
exempt securities. This is what
Secretary Mellon would have cor
reeted, but which the Democrats and
the insurgents are fighting to per-
petuate.

rer, widow of the late Jake Hamon,

SKULL AND NOTE SOLVE
1865 WAR-LOVE MYSTERY
Girl-Wife Died Following Soldier
Husband Through Peril, and
Grave Was Lost.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ATLANTA, June 14.-All that is
inspiring, romantic and tragic in a
story of love and war, the undyine
love of d young girl for her soldier
husband, which caused her to follow
him through many hardships in an
alien land and the grief and sorrow
or a true soldier who met defeat even
IN victory, were unearthed by a
prosaic steam shovel in the heart of
Atlanta's downtown district yester-
day, says a story published today by
the Atlanta Constitution.
A group OF workmen came upon the
skull of woman buried scarcely
more than three feet underneath the
nearby, containing a bit of parch-
ment, which crumpled when brought
to light, but not before the name
Prudence Bainbridge" was read. The
legend which it contained was re-
called by some who knew the story
of this young girl.
Prudence. aged nineteen. followed
her soldier husband through many
campaigns of the civil war, success
fully concealing her identity. 1t was
on Sherman's march to the sea that
proved too much for her and she be-
came sick with a fever which caused
her to remain in Atlanta. while her
husband followed the flag.
When he returned to Atlanta after
a successful campaign, he found his
loyal little wife had succumbed and
the house where she had lived burned
to the ground. After vainly search
ing for her grave he departed for his
New England home, but kept up cor
respondence with acQuaintances here,
sending money to be used in an
effort to locate the grave. Hoping
to find il himself, he returned once
and made a thorough search before
his death in 1903, but to no avail.

FRENCH DECRY MURDER
OF ITALIAN SOCIALIST
Mattioti Staying Laid Directly to

riot Organ in Paris.

(By Cable to The Star and New York World
Copyright, 1924
PARIS, June 1.-THE murder of
the Italian Socialist Mattioti by the
Fascist has caused bitter comment
in France.
Mattioti's assassination is declared
by the Paris Soir, one Of the Herriot
organs. to mark critical date for
Mussolini.
Mattitoti was captured and assassi-
mated by the black shirts the day
after his political harangue against
the government. The government it
self by it's numerous brutal menaces
involved in the assassination. Mus
solini by his speech in Venice and his
letter to Fascist leaders in Rome
made a suggestion which did not fall
upon barren ground.
The Fascist leader, Farenacci,
glorified in political murder in parlia-
ment and the opposition hooted daily
as he left the chamber. Mattioti's
assassination was a natural conse
quence. The Italian Fascist acted
toward the Socialists like German
Nationalists."

WIFE OF 70 MISSING,
MAN EXPIRES ON VIGIL
Mrs. Mary Palmer of Atlantic City
Departed for Funeral Six Weeks
Ago, But Failed to Attend.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

npecfdl piSpaIcn 10 Inc star.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. June IA
One day six weeks ago Mrs. Mary
Palmer seventy, said goodbye to her
husband. Peter. of about the same
age, and departed for Philadelphia
to attend her brothers funeral 1t
was the first time the PalmeEs had
been separated in the more than fifty
years of their married life. They
lived here at 405 Trinity avenue.
, Several days passed and Mr. Palmer
had heard no word from his wife.
Then the worried husband got in
communication with his wife's rela-
tives in Philadelphia. To his con-
sternation he learned she had not
arrived for the funeral.
Palmer was daZed by the blow. 1t
did not seem possible to him that
anything could happen to separate
his Mary from him after all their
years together. and yet the days went
by without any word from her.
Z Fear that accident had befallen her
and that she had perhaps met death
alone and under terrifying circum-
stances completely unnamed the old
fellow. Kindly neighbors took
charge of him and they made up a
purse-for the Palmers were not peo-
pie of means-and hired private de
tectives TO search for Mrs Palmer
The Atlantic City police co-operated
and sent out an alarm for her.
. Palmer lost interest in everything
except the vain vigil for his Mary.
He had to be fairly forced to eat and
he utterly refused to sleep, but every
night sat and dozed in a chair near
the front door, hopeful that at some
moment his wife would open the door
and walk in. And he wanted TO be
there to greet her.
; Friday night a neighbor went over
to see if Mr.. Palmer wanted any
thing. He found the old gentleman
Sitting in the chair before the door.
When the neighbor spoke he did not
answer. The neighbor attempted to
rouse Palmer, and he could not be
reused. He was dead.
The doctor called it something
technical. but the folks who knew
the Palmers know it was nothing bat
a broken heart.
