Boys Do Damage
At Local Foundry

Lambertville-Sunday afternoon
during the heavy rains, a group
of thirteen boys broke into the
Lambertville ron and Steel Co.
plant on lower Union street and did
some serious d. image. The electric
current was shut off at the time,
and this probably saved the life
Of those of the boys who mcddled
with the ele switch which con
trolled the crane used in the found
ry for lifting heavy castings,
he switch was left turned on,
and when the current was later
ouened on the motor started and
iammed the crane until the motor
stalled and was completely burn
ed oat 1t was a three horse power
motor, and a new one had to be
ooaght. The entire damage amount
Cd to nearly $500.
he boys were all apprehended
by the State Police, and arraigned
before Justice Morse. Their parents
appeared and agreed to make good
the damage. However, Mr.. F. w.
Massey, of the Company, agreed
to bear half the actual cost of the
damages, not considering the work
involved. Two of the employees,
Henry Naylor and Mike Chicano,
who were present when the damage
was done, were also made to pay a
share of the damages.

WIRE Mill TO
GO TO BUFFALO.

The hair-pin and wire novelty
factory owned by Smith & Sons
Corporation, on North Union street,
Lambertville, will be closed shortly
the business being consolidated with
the Buffalo plant of the same COM
pany.
Walter S. Thomas, secretary of
the corporation, gave out the fol-
lowing notice yesterday:
at is officially announced that
because of the advantages of
merger, the plant of Smith &
Sons Corporation, of this city,
will be consolidated eventually
with their factory in Buffalo, N.
Y"
1t was reported about the city
that the Lambertville Pottery Com
pany has purchased the hair-pin
factory and will take early posses
sion, but Mr. Thomas stated yes
terday that no sale had been made,
and he did not as yet have any
idea when the plant would be clos
ed.
Lambertville long enjoyed the
distinction of being the center of
the wire hair pin industry in the
United States, but it is said that the
craze for bobbed hair has curtailed
the sale of hairpins to great ex-
tent, particularly in the larger sizes.
The plant employed many young
women, and a number of men, who
will have to turn to other vocations.
Some will go to the Buffalo plant,
along with Mr.. Thomas.

IN WHICH THE BARRISTER
MAXI A BLUFF

Lambertviile One morning re-
Gently, just rs the 1885 train for
Trenton pulled into the local sta
ton, Commissioner Charles A. NAL
10y, who commutes daily to his law
offices in the Capitol City, came
flashing down Bridge street like a
house a-fre. Those already at the
station began to speculate on our
popular barrster's chances to
make" the train Like the grand
stand at the racetraek, some We're
urging him on, and others were
betting he wouldn't make it.
And from an unbiased opinion Of
the spectators, he did have a chance
10 make it, if he had kept plug
cling. But just as he reached the
bridge, he stopped suddenly and
with studied nonchalance strolled in
to the Beacon office. One more
squirt and he would have made it..
But at the crucial moment he lost
confidence, and like the fox at the
grape arbor he decided he didn't
want to do it after ALL
Recently Mr., MalIoy was inter
viewed by Trenton Times report
or who wrote up some Of his rem
nscences at the bar Some Of them
we're extremely amusing. But We
are quite sure that none of them
were more amusing than the above
incident VII be when some future
barrister will give out some Of
his own "reminiscences for pubhca-
tion.

3TCKS co. RASIES S3,78O.27 BY
XMAS SEAL SALE

Henry w. Grain, field secretary
IF the Bucks County Society for
the Prevention of tuberculosis, an
loaa :es that the total amount of
Christmas Seals purchased in this
;oany last Christmas amounted to
s3,78027. This is 1914 less than
he amount realized in 1922 The
total for that Christmas was 49,
37sA1.
TIE amounts realized at New
Hope and surrounding towns are
IS follows: New Hope $S4.77; Buck
inFh-m S157.95; Upper Wakefield
S36.79; Plumstead $53.70; Solebury
S37.55; Tinicum s51.50; Warwick
S17S7; Wrightstown s41.20; Wy
combe s25.6O.
New Hope had an increase of
S23.77. Sales here in 1922 were
only $61.00. This is gratifying in
crease, and is no doubt due to the
fact that the presence of public
health nurse has resulted in edu-
cation along the lines of the pre-
vention of disease.

was shown in Lambertvlle last Sat
urday by Roscoe l.. Horner. son of
George b. Horner, of this city, and
for some time funeral director at
Langhorne, Ia.
1t is what is known as a Side
Door Loading Sedan Invalid Car,
and possesses every last improve
ment in the way of convenience and
comfort, yet has no outward appear
ance of an ambulance The ear it
self is q Big-6 Studebaker with TO
horse power motor, and can be used
as a seven-passenger sedan by re-
moving the ambulance parts.
Mr.. Horner drove it in from the
West, last week, and will use it ut
Langhorne, where he is building up
a large practice. His father will
also use the new ear for long dis
lance transfer of invalids, reserving
his present ambulance for short
trips.

DeiaS0are RiVer Rises
Highest Since E0I4

The heavy rains of Sunday along
the Delaware Valley succeeded in
melting what snow was left and is
loosening ice along the banks on
the upper branches of the river.
Monday morning the river was found
rising rapidly, and the rise contin-
ued until Tuesday morning. The
highest point was reached about
eight o'clock, at which time it regis
tered IA feet on the gage. This
made the rise about Z feet above
normal, as the average height Of
the water is supposed to be about
z feet.
The water did not reach a height
sufficient to do any serious damage.
Several cellars along the river in
New Hope and Lambertville had
varying amounts of water either to
run or seep int othem. But in the
freshet of 1914, the last time the
water got out Of its banks, the
water flooded South Union, Lam
bert and lower Coryell streets in
LambertVille, aud reached some of
the streets on the low level in New
Hope.
Since the Government is keeping
the lower Delaware channel dredged
from Trenton to Philadelphia to
provide for navigation, the water
has more freedom for escape. 1t
has been announced that an even
deeper channel is to be maintained
between Trenton and Philadelphia,
and this will preclude the POSSIBLE
ity Of floods spreading to any great
extent.

Radio Fans Suffer
From Phone TrO0bIe

Many Lambertville owners of ra-
dos are up in arms against the
interference they are having on
their receiving sets, which is caus-
ed by electric vibrations from the
local telephone plant. Some of them
have been so irritated by it that
they threaten to have their own
phones taken out.
1t seems that electric vibrations
are thrown off by the "pole-changer"
Cor whatever its technical name
may be,) at the switchboard in the
telephone exchange. These vibrations
sound like the staccato reports of a
machine gun in rapid action, and
are especially bad when the radio
is set on a low wave length. Then
in the midst of the staccato vibra-
tions the telephone calls will be
sounded in harsh era llles-' We
rings, four rings, Cor whatevee
number is being connected by the
operator.)
Nelson Rittenhouse, the pioneer
radio fan of the city, says he be-
lieves the trouble is caused by the
Anticipated type of telephone ex-
change existing in Lambertville. If
it is, the trouble can't be removed
until the new system is installed
This has been promised by the Tele-
phone Company for some time late
in the summer. If the trouble is
caused by a disorder in the ex-
change here, the Company has
promised to correct it.
Similar trouble has existed in
Doylestown, but we understand this
has been remedied. Laurens RedfieId,
of Center Bridge mounted a loop
on his car and made tests thru
the streets of Doylestown which
made it possible to chart the city
and thus locate the trouble. Recent
reports are that the Telephone Co.
there has promised to cooperate in
removing the trouble.

President Coolidge has again prov
ed his title to the country's admir-
alton and respect by his appoint
ment of Harlan F. Stone as Attor-
ney General. Even as intensely
partisan a paper as the New York
World is compelled to praise the
selection. Dean Stone has a her
culean task before him, the cleaning
out of a Department grossly mis-
managed during eight years of
Democratic administration, and in
competently managed during three
years of Republican administration.
But there is every indication that
the former Dean of the Columbia
Law School is equal to the under
taking.
The Democratic attack on Secre-
tary Mellon has proved a flivver.
True to their program, the Demo-
Gratis no sooner saw Mr.. Daugherty
out of the cabinet than they turned
on Mr.. Mellon. There was no basis
for their charges, but that was in
large part true of Mr.. Daugherty,
and entirely true of Secretary Den
by. Truth, however, was the last
thing they wanted. They We're seek
ing sensationalism and party capital.
But they got only discredit, and the
Democratic press deserves a large
share of the credit for the failure
of the Heflins, McKellars, ct al
The Democratic press realized
what the Democratic demagogues
in the Senate could not-that the
latter were only discrediting their
party in the public mind and their
editorial condemnation has checked
some of the scandalmongers.
Senator Wheeler (more l. w. W.
than Democracy is now turning his
guns on Secretary Weeks-all ac-
cording to program. But Wheeler's
penchant for thoroughly discredit-
able witnesses will probably soon
dispose of that would-be sensation.
Meantime, Senator Walsh is soft
pedalling on the oil investigation.
having heard from many Democratic
friends that the country is severely
criticising the Democratic sensation
alists and awakening to the fact
that it has been grossly misled by
their efforts to create party capital.
The voters, irrespective of party,
want graft uncovered and the graft
ers punished, but they do not want
to be deceived into believing their
government is permeated with graft
when there's no foundation for such
reports and they resent the defam-
alton of their public men by wit
nesses of the character of Henry
Woodhouse, convicted felon, Roxy
Stinson, ct al.
