PRINCE LUNCHES
WITH COOLIDGES

Island residence Of James A. Burden,
il was 1890 a. m. before the Prince
turned in, according to David Boyle,
his personal attache.
Gives Impressions
Before the special pulled out from
tn, sleepy little town Of Syosset the
Princes first impressions Of the
visit were obtained by the United
Press.
This most unreasonable and i'm
questionable young man really likes
US. He said so. of course, in his
prepared statement, but from one
of HIS close friends the fact was con
firmed.
Informallty OF the American greet
ing met a response in the smiling
eyed Prince who some day will be
king of England.
Strangely enough. It was the sky
line of New York that made the
most lasting impression Of his first
twenty-four hours upon the Prince
1t gave him the thrill Of his arrival
late Friday.
"Wonderfur'
His eyes shaded by the soft felt

deep breath as he scanned the deli

against the late afternoon sky and
he exclaimed to those with him;

Blackwell's Island, Governors
Island, even the well-known Statue
of Liberty drew interested attention
from our visitor as his hosts pointed
out the sights as the launch, BLACK
Watch" took him to Glen Cove.
Without announcement the land
ing at the estate of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard r. Pratt was selected in
preference to others, at which
throngs awaited a chance to catch
glimpse Of him. But when finally
he set foot ashore there was pop
ular welcome and plenty awaiting
him.
And the Prince liked It and re-
sponded.
Hearty Welcome
How do you do" he called with
a wave OF his hand as he stood bare
headed at the landing stage &C.
knolwedging a distant y but hearty
and interested welcome from those
who had been fortunate enough to
guess the likeliest location for a look
at him.
After a brief chat with Mr.. and
Mrs. Pratt the Prince entered
Rolls Royce, and, preceded by a mo-
tor escort, was whirled on to Syos-
set.
There his official hosts, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry r. Winthrop, were
joined by Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas

Justice of Peace Told.

Vigorous denial that constables
from Marion County justice of the
peace courts have been approaching
thrashermen throughout the State
armed with warrants for their ar
rest in one hand and industrial in
surance policies in the other. was
made today by NJ. A. Howard, War
rem Township constable.
The State industrial board had re-
ceived reports the constables had
gone out to arrest operators of
thrashing machines for failure to
comply with the workmen's compen-e
sation law regarding insurance, and,
in some instances, had offered the
thrashermen the insurance policies
as a means of avoiding arrest.
Failure to Register
Howard said the thrashermen were
charged. not with failure to have in
dustrial insurance, but with failure
to register with the State industrial
board as provided in the insurance

Cases Of five Wells County thrash
ermen arrested on this charge were
venued today from the court OF
Justice of the Peace T. r. Rainey,

Washington St, and were continued
until Sept. 25.
The defendants are Fred Carnall,
William Merkey, Oliver Elston, Isaac
Morris and Charles Walter, all Of
Button and Wells County.
Twelve Are Fined
Howard said between fifty and
seventyfive threshermen had been
arrested throughout the State and
about twelve fined. In several in.
stances, he said, it was found the
man for whom a warrant had been
filed had complied with the State
industrial board under a firm name.
In such instances. no arrests were
made, as charged in complaints fled
with the industrial board, Howard
said.

I was determined, therefore, TO
make this a campaign that should
result in the election of a Legisla'
ture that Would finally execute the
will Of the people.
And so. with the calling OF the
caucuses. went out into Senate and
Assembly districts, announced pub
lie meetings and executed the new
policy upon which l had resolved I
did not engage in personalities; l did
not attack individuals as such. but l
ook the journals OF the two Houses
Of the Legislature on the public plat
form and presented fairly and clear
ly the character of the different
measures OF public Importance. and
then read from the journal the rec
ord vote OF the candidate seeking re-
election upon those measures.
Wherever 1 found a Democratic
nominee for the Assembly or Senate
whose standing was such as to war
rant confidence in his pledges. and
who was willing TO come into my
meetings and give assurance Of his
support OF the measures for the pub
lie good embodied in the Republican
platform. l besought the voters OF
such legislative districts TO support
him and defeat the Republican nomi-
nee who had betrayed them in the

We also elected a safe majority Of

Now. it Is never safe to be salts
