4 CHILD LABOR BANNING

The New York World, which opposed the child
labor amendment on the ground that better to
leave such matters to the several states gives this
warning those who have been rejoicing the de-
feat of the amendment:
You gentlemen of the textile mills and canneries
and forth had best remember that the non-raifica
ton of this amendment does its final defeat.
Il after sincere effort Is made to bring the states up
to standard becomes evident that the Of child
labor IS nefadicabe by action sentiment for this
amendment will revive The employers Of child labor
today in the position of the liquor interests before
the war. They have been granted period Of grace in
which reform themselves at least let themselves
ta reformed BY state action. II they stupid
the liquor interests they will bring down upon them
selves and the country the whole force OF the federal
power.
Itis true statement Of the situation There IS no
question in the mind Of the American people 10
the Importance Of protecting children from eXpoita
ton, ignorance and physical impairment. The only
question is to the best method OF affording pro-
lection. And if there is not rapid and general I'M
provement in the backward states either from leglsla
ton from voluntary reform among employers Of
child labor there will soon be an oyerpoWerng demand
again for federal action.

AUTOMOBILE CRASH AT
SOUTH BEVERLY

John Deviney, of this city, was ar
raigned before Justice Thompson on
Wednesday night charged with reck-
less driving and speeding on the pub
lie highway. 1t was charged that
Deviney and Frank Koehler were
racing on the Delanco Road and as
Deviney passed Koehler's car he
crashed into the car of Mrs. F. Shinn,
of Warren and Farnum streets, which
was parked on the side of the road.
1t has been said that Deviney did
not stop at the time but he evidently
considered the mishap and returned
to the scene about fifteen minutes
afterward. The case was settled by
Deviney paying all the costs of the
accident. The Shinn car suffered
about 500 damage.

TAXPAYERS JAM CITY HALL TO FIGHT
WATER COMPANIES PERPETUAL ORDINANCE
Council Unanimous In Voting Ordinance Down.
Public Utility Engineer Center OF Fire.

A public hearing was held by
Common Council on Friday night for
final action on the proposed water
! company's ordinance for a perpetual
franchise. The ordinance was defeat
ed.
Charles Adams and President VIII
liam Jones, of the Delaware River
Water Company clashed when Jones
declared that many of the statements
made by the opposition to the ordi-
nance introduced for the water COM
pany, requesting a perpetual fran
chise, were false.
The citizens of the town fought the
ordinance bitterly. Forty of them at
tended the meeting.
Francis J. Smith, local lawyer, was
the spokesman for large part of the
audience. He said that the perpetual
franchise was not for the good of the
community. The service that the city
gets now is not any better, nor any
worse, than before the expiration of
the present franchise.
Perpetual franchises are contrary
to public opinion at present" he said
in part. "The mess that the City of
Philadelphia is in over the proposed
Chestnut Street Subway is one in
stance of the fallacy of granting per-
petual franchises. "A perpetual
franchise is not fair to our unborn
citizens. Why should we take from
them the right to say who shall dis
tribute the water when they have
reached maturity +. 1t is hard now
to get any service from the water
company, what would it be if we
gave them a stronger hold on us, as
the granting of perpetual franchise
would give. II understand that the
other towns that get their water
from Beverly pay lower rate than
we do"
James J. Carr, local newsdealer,
was the next to speak. Il have two
boys and two girls" he said, "and
| don't think that we have the right
to disfranchise any of them"
Colonel Belts, of the Public Utility
Board, was present at the request of
President Jones and the council to
answer any questions that any citizen

LIGHTNING RESTORES USE OF
BEVERLY'S WOMAN'S ARM

That there is beneficial as well as
destructive side to lightning has
been demonstrated to the great joy
of Mrs. John Deviney, of this city,
and members of her family and
friends. 1t was through stroke of
lightning while she lay on her bed
at the Pennsylvania Hospital in Phil-
adelphia on Wednesday that the use
of her right arm, paralyzed on May
18th, has been restored. Her paraly-
zed right leg was not benefited.
Mrs. Deviney is twenty-five years
old. Before her marriage she was
Miss Pearl Lyons, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Philip T. Lyons, of Burling-
ton.
After she had been stricken with
paralysis at her home in this city
she could move neither her right arm
or her leg. She failed to respond to
treatment and was removed to the
hospital, where all that could be
done for her was of no avail. On
Wednesday afternoon she was lying
on a cot on one of the porches at
the hospital when there was a territ-
fic flash of lightning that a patient
on an adjoining cot said played on
Mrs. Deviney's shoulder and ran
down her arm to her finger tips.
How accurate this description of the
action of the lightning is matters
little when the pleasing and almost
miraculous effect is considered, for
since the electrical attack Mrs. Dew
iney has been able to use her arm
The good news reached the family
members quickly, as Miss Hannah
LYONS, of Burlington, sister OF Mrs
Deviney, happened to visit the hos
pital while the wonder of it all was
still being discussed. She was
amazed when she walked to her sis
ter's bedside and the patient raised
her arm that had been useless for
over month. At the outset there
was fear that the relief might only
be temporary, but the use of the arm
continues, and there is now hops
that the affected leg will eventually
respond to the heroic electrical treat
ment that will now be given.

WHERE WAS THE RACE
RIOT FRIDAY NIGHT

The section near Broad and Front
streets was torn by race riots Friday
and Saturday nights. None of the
leaders have been caught. So runs
the first paragraph of an article in
one of the daily papers.
Where the riots were staged or how
the information reached the daily
papers is mystery AS far as can
be learned there was no riot other
than the regular routine of general
arguments which is customary oc-
curence in that neighborhood.
1t has also been said that razors
cleaned during the fracas, this. also
seems to be false as the only record
of any kind Of a fight was at Broad
and Warren streets between Jim"
HUMPHREYS and Edward Hullings,
which started over nothing and end
ed in draw.
Someone apparently did want the
Beverly officers on Saturday evening
as the phone, which is located on the
Five Points corner, rang for nearly
half hour and no one answered it..
The question which is again being
raised is where was the officer"
1t was James Hollands shift and 1t
has been said that he was seen riding
around the city with two men in the
city's car apparently giving them
sleeping tonic. The car was at ONE
time said to have been parked at the
P. R. R. station meeting all trains
and .escorting several Of the town
folks to their various homes.
Holland claims to have answered
the call from the Pennsylvania rail-
road station.

YOUNG TORNADO
HITS RIVERSIDE
Property Damage Will Probably
Reach Into Thousands of Dollars.

What was probably one of the
worst storms in many years, descended
on Darlington County last night
Riverside was undoubtedly the hard.
est hit as the storm seemed to center
on that place.
Buildings were torn down as
though they were made of paper
windows crashed to the pavements
tree after tree fell, the safety gates
at the Pennsylvania railroad crossing
were sphntered like so many match
sticks, and all communication with
the outside world was cut off.
The new building of the ]. S. Col
Inns and Son Company, which is To-
Gated near the Rancocas Greek, had
the roof completely torn off and suf-
fered much damage to the interior.
The Riverside Shoe Factory, located
on the trolley road, suffered the COM
plete loss of the second floor, and the
front of the building. The new traf-
fic sign, which had recently been
erected at the corner of Scott street
and Pavilion avenue is twisted mass
of ruins, and damage to the extent
of thousands of dollars was done to
plate glass windows.
The storm broke with intense fury
about 8 o'clock and every available
fireman and policeman was summoned
to their respective posts, to be used
in case of emergency.
Soon after the storm broke these
men were called to Cambridge to
take care of trolley, train and auto
mobile traffic which was held up by
the falling of electric and telephone
wires, and it has been estimated that
there are about 100 telephone poles
and wires which fell between River
side and Riverton during the storm.
All roads in and around Riverside
are blocked by fallen trees which also
caused much damage, falling across
the roof tops of several homes. Eye
witnesses say that the streets were
just a mass of fire, that streaks of
lightning were running wild" The
total damage done has as yet been
unestimated, but it can be reasonably
said that it will run into thousands
of dollars.

might ask him. He said. in refuta-
ton to the assertion made by Mr..
Smith, that the perpetual franchise
would have an exhorbitant value,
that it was against the state law to
evaluate any franchise more than the
actual cost of obtaining the fran
chise, in the expenditure for printing
and so forth. The colonel added that
at any time the council could take
over the water company by con-
demning the service and property.
Councilman Donaldson said that he
thought the people of Riverside and
Delanco should have a higher water
rate than Beverly, seeing that all the
towns are given the water from the
station, located in this city. Colonel
Belts said that if they attempted to
raise the rates in the other commun-
tiles each one might start water
plant of its own, which would great

cause of the loss of revenue from
the other places.
The lower rate in Beverly, in COM
parison with Riverton and Palmyra,
was explained by Colonel Belts in
that Beverly water company has to
keep steam up in its furnaces. because
of the many interruptions in the cleo
trio service. Palmyra and Riverton
run ON electricity alone. They can
afford to take the chance of long
interruption in the electricity because
there lis larger capacity to the
standpipes in the lower riverfront
towns.
Mr.. Jones was asked by Council
man Donaldson if he had anything
to say. Then the water company
president said that there were many
false statements made last night.
This was when Mr.. Adams hoped up
and wanted to know if he was liar.
Councilman Donaldson moved the
adoptions of the ordinance on the
third and final reading Stevenson
seconded the motion. The roll cali
showed all the members against the
ordinance but one, who voted pre-
sent. This was Mr.. Bott, an en-
ploye of the water company.

BEVERLY SATURDAY NIGHT
Proprietor Forewarned, of Raid Which

"This way out" seemed to be tbs

When an inquiry was made as to the
cause of the sudden outburst from
the hotel at 11.30, when the place ia
usually lit up until 8 A. NJ, it was
stated that the proprietor had been
tipped off, that the place was going
to be raided.
No raid however took place that
night, and whether it was to be stag
ed or not is matter of conjecture.
1t can be safely said that unless the
Police Committee has been holding
more secret meetings between part
of the committee and part of the de-
partment, they had no hand in the
affair, but it has been ru1nored that
the Federal authorities have been no.

in the near future. If this rumor
can be verified and the Federal Of

for our department.
If the Hotel Beverly is observing
the Laws of the United States, why
was every light extinguished within
ten seconds after the proprietor was
tipped off by two young women.

vicinity of Third and Broad streets

1t has been said that Chief Dill

of Beverly just laugh it off. Actions
