SPANISH WAR VETS
 REMEMBER MAINE
Observe Anniversary Of Sinking
 Of Battleship at Havana

Urging members of the United Spanish War veterans to keep the name of tho organization before the people, Department Senior Vice. Commander Frank F. Shea of Hart ford delivered an interesting address last night at the exercises at the state armory held by A. c. Ham, 'mond camp Of this city in memory of the men who died when the bat tleship Maine" was blown up in Havana harbor 27 years ago.
 Mir. Shea said that the incident must be kept alive in the hearts of the American people if the Spanish War veterans, as an organization is to continue. It Is not an organiza- tion, he said. that can command a membership of 5.O00,000 and the members must do the best they can to keep the memory of the Spanish War and the story Of what the youth of the country did at that time before the United States as a people. 'If we don't do this, we will be crush. ed" stated MT. Shea.
 He spoke of the increase in pen sions asked by the veterans of the war. He said that the men don't want anything for themselves from the government and have never asked for anything. The pension increase would be for the widows of veterans and for the members of the organization wlfo are down and out. broken in health and barely able to scrape np a living for themselves.
 Expects Defeat Of Bill
 Flo said that it is highly improb- able that the pension bill now be- fore congress will go through. "It's too bad that we can't tell the people in Washington just how we feel about that" he said. He said that he will urge, at meeting of the Hartford post tomorrow night, that letter be sent to President Cool idge, expressing the opinion of the Hartford members of the organiza- tion, and indirectly the opinion Of all members. T want economy ip the United States just as much al the president does" said Mir. Shea "but want square deal, too" He traced in an interesting man. ner the history of the Spanish War and told many details In connection with the preparations for departure 1 for the front.
 Every camp in. this department should observe the anniversary of the sinking of the Maine" he said. Tt is the one thing that will keep US alive. ... .. 1 Camp Commissioner William Mas sey of this city introduced the speak CTS, there being several in addition to the vice commander. All pointed to the fact that the anniversary should be observed.

 Already plans are under way here for appropriate mass meetings to give thanks for the rescue.
 Hundreds of sailors of the fleet crews just returned from the Anti podes mingled with the throngs in the joyous demonstration. .
 Governor W. H. Harrington of Hawaii said he was heartily in sym pathy with the widely expressed de- sire to hold a great community serv- ice to give thanks for finding the airmen alive.

 Has the PH-l made a successful flight" was the first question by the rescued avlators,
 The messages radiocast by the searehtng plane and surface ships were all picked up by the downed soaplane, but 1t could not put mes- sagos on the air in response. This was due 10 tho fact that its dropping Iantenna was under water.

 "Our plano was able to pick up messages from the steamer which refused 10 divulge its name, but drifted to the northwest, After that no searching ships or planes were sighted, until last Tuesday, when VIC saw a plane off the coast of Oahu"
 After Commander Rodgers landed, he said:
 "We experienced rough weather for just one day at.sea. That was the third after we were forced down. Rain and heavy seas made matters uncomfortable, but the plane was seaworthy and stood the rough weather we'll"

 The PIN No was forced down just north of the point where the de- Istroyer Aroostook was stationed less than 300 miles from shore. The tlters experienced no trouble in land ing, they said, Then began their de- termined fight with the clements.
 Just nine days later they were rescued, acclaimed by an awaiting world as aFgonauts of aviation, as heroes by the residents of the Hawaiian Islands.
 When Commander Rodgers was Informed that a destroyer was on its way from Honolulu to take him and his crew back to Pearl Harbor. he replied:
 Hell, like this place and l am in no hurry to get away"
 Commander Rodgers came ashore with Lieutenant Osborn, the skipper on the submarine which rescued him.
 Before Commander Rodgers would allow Lieutenant Osborn to return to his submarine, he wanted to make arrangements for the submarine to tow him back 10 Oahu.
 The plucky aviator asked as to the whereabouts of the tender Pelican which has sufficient gear to lift the big scaplano out of the water and make the necessary repairs. It was then suggested that destroyer could tow the plane to Pearl Harbor as it would be moving with the wind

ENUMERATION FOR PROSECUTOR
KELSEY BY GRAND JURY

All the disturbance that has lately
been raised over the failure of Pros
ecutor Kelsey to secure conviction
in the hijacker case that covered a
hold-up along the Lumberton and
Medford road in December 1928, and
brought four defendants into court
before Judge Slaughter in November,
when one alleged hijacker was tried
and. acquitted and three others were
released under nolle pressing proc
ceedings blew up hard on Wednes-
day when the grand jury that had
been asked by Justice Lloyd to make
a special investigation reported that
it had looked into all the details af-
ter the matter had been presented
through Assistant Attorney General
Backes as special prosecutor and
found that there was nothing impro-
per in the handling of the case in
court. 1t was almost charged that
Prosecutor Kelsey had neglected his
duty, but the grand jury couldn't see
it that way. There was no withhold
ing evidence or anything else sug-
gestive of misconduct.
The grand jury re-indicted the
three men who We're released without
trial, but could not reindict the one
tried There are also indictments
or perjury against the three truck
drivers who were understood to have
identified the four men ON the night
of their arrest and then failed to
identify them at the time one of
them was out on trial.
To satisfy the public, the grand
jury will sit on February 16 to hear
any complaints that people may have
to make against any county officials.

SPORSTMEN APPROVE
BOBOLINK PROTECTION

There has been misapprehension in
some quarters that in advocating all
the year protection for the bobolink
the New Jersey Audubon Society
might be entering wedge toward
eliminating birds generally from the
game list, as in Ohio the bobwhite
was eliminated this the Society dis
avows. AS to the bobwhite for in
stance, though declaring it to be
among the most valuable insect and
weed destroyers that the farmer has,
the Society maintains that sports
men are doubly interested to main
tain its numbers while it remains on
the game list and may be trusted
to work to that end. Hunting H.
censes also, the society points out,
provide the funds for game raising
and maintenance as we'll as for the
enforcement of wild life conservation
laws.
AS to the bobolink however the
Audubon Society maintains that it is
not in any sense game bird, des-
pite its present classification; that
true sportsmen recognize the fact
find no sport in its killing and adj
vocate its removal from the game
list of New Jersey. In substantial
ton of this claim the Society points
to repeat resolutions, unanimously
adopted by New Jersey Fish and
Game Conservation League urging
permanent protection of the bobolink
only few gunners in Salem and adj
jacent counties seek its retention on
the game list says the Society. A rea-
SON for keeness of these gunners to
shoot the bobolink the Society adds,
was inadvertently suggested not long
since by one of their defenders, who
declared that the gunners of Salem
County had made hundreds of dollars
by sale of bobolinks, forgetting that
such sale was in violation of both
Federal and State laws.

EDGEWATER PARK RESIDENTS
WANT NEW BUS CONTRACT
Present Contract Made By Old Bev-
erly Township Officials

u
The members of the Board of Ed
ucation of Edgewater Park Town
ship have heard numerous complaints
and criticisms of the Board for their
continuing to employ Harry McClos-
key as driver of the school bus and
as truant officer, many persons
claim that the bids should be asked
each year and the work given to the
lowest bidder.
The present Board has had to take
over certain contracts and stand
back of certain acts of the old Bev-
erly Township Board and the present
Board had nothing to do with the
awarding of the bus contract, but
has to live up to it until it expires.
The contract was made for three
years on condition that Mr.. McClos-
key would buy new bus, as it
would not pay to buy bus for one
years work.
1t is only fair to say that from
what we have seen during our tern
of office Mr.. McCloskey is very good
to the children and we'll liked by
them. We also know of cases where
he has used his own money to buy
shoes for children who had none to
wear to school. Also he is now
carrying thirty more childrer than
his contract called for.
Educating one hundred and ninety
eight children is something of a pro-
position. The Board of Education
meets the first Monday evening in
each month at the Farnum School
and they will be glad to hear any
suggestions or criticisms of con-
structive nature.

BACK A YEAR TERM

A prediction that the Burlington
County Parent Teachers Association
would give whole-hearted support to
the Trenton Normal School was
made by Mrs. T. Oliver Perkins, of
Perkins Lane near Beverly, Wednes-
day night.
Mrs. Perkins was the only county
delegate to the state convention of
the Parent Teachers held Tuesday in
Trenton. The proposed four-year
course was discussed by the members
of the County Parent-Teachers As
sociation at their regular monthly
meeting last week in Masonville,
The proposition as it was explain
ed to the association by the presi-
of the Trenton Normal School was
that four-year course be establish
ed as an elective. The students who
have completed this course will re-
ceive college degree. The two
year course will still be retained
There were four counties invited
to the meeting in Trenton on Tues
day. They were Ocean, Monmouth,
Mercer and Burlington. The latter
county had the smallest delegation
of any in numbers. There were
forty-five members of different Par
emit Teachers Association present.
A resolution that the associations
of the four represented counties
should help secure the funds neces-
sary for the change in the currfcul-
UNI was made and adopted by the
representatives present.
