BANNER COMMENDED ON
POLICE COMMITTEE STAND
Letters Indicate Citizens Are Solidly
Behind Us.

Much favorable comment has been
received by "The Banner" during the
past week ON the strong position il
has taken recently in uncovering the
weakness of our local Police Admin.
istration. Numerous letters have
been sent to us praising our fearless
ness and urging US to continue the
fight until satisfactory reorganiza-
ton of police affairs is effected.
One subscriber says, 81 admire the
effective way in which you have
been urging police housekeeping
There has been a crying need for this
for some time and | surely hope that
the City Council will follow your
lead and actually do something in
the matter. l believe one officer
could easily do all that both men
accomplish today"
Another writes: Il want to COM
mend you for the wonderful advance
ment your paper has made in recent
months. Everyone now seems to want
to read The Banner and it is no long
err the dead issue it was for so many
years. Your Police Committee fight
is good. Your remarks seemed at
times quite caustic but | guess you
know how best to get results. Keep
up the good work. You are becom-
ing valuable asset to our commun-
ity."
1t has been quite gratifying to the
management to receive these and
many similar compliments. We seem
to have struck a responsive chord
among our citizens when we began
to talk about Police Reform. What
criticism we get is negligible and
comes only from those who are get
ting hurt. This is, of course, to be
expected.
A newspaper, we believe, should
be an influence for good in COM
munity and we think it our duty to
give full publicity to all activities Of
public interest.
Another indication of the favor
able reception our new local politi-
cal publicity has met is in the great
ly increased sales and subscription
list of the Banner. Last week we
put out the largest circulation in
our hisory.
1t is our ambition to make the Ban
ner real newspaper, one which can
pull" for our advertisers and one
from which subscribers can feel
they have received their moneys
worth.

Harry L.. Knight, on MedIQrQ.
prominent in the Republican politi-
cal affairs of Burlington County and
State, former Public Utility Commits
sioner and one of Senator Edges
strongest supporters, committed sui
eide at his cranberry bog at Cold
Water Run, about eight miles from
his home. His body was found Tues
day morning after his whereabouts
for twenty -four hours had been I'M
known. He was victim of mono
xide gas.
After driving to the bog, Knight
backed his automobile into shed,
left his engine running, made a
small pile of wood as headrest and
placed himself so the discharge from
the exhaust would strike him direct
~ in the face. It seems to be a
clear case of suicide. The running of
the engine until the gas had been
exhausted caused discharge that
greatly discolored his face. The
switch was on and the throttle was
open when the body was sund. The
engine must have run for several
hours.
knight told his wife before he left
for Camden Monday morning that
he was going to Toms River to COM
plete deal for a property at Sea-
side Park. He apparently went di-
rectly to the bog and there took his
life. When he failed to return home
that night inquiry and search was
made. But there was no trace of his
movements until his brother-in-laws,
William and Ralph Haines, of Taber-
nacle, decided to make a search there
and it was horrible discovery they
made. A physician was called but
there was nothing that could be done
as Knight had been dead several
hours. A revolver lay on the front
seat of his automobile, rather clearly
indicating that he had contemplated
suicide by shooting, or using the gun
in case the gasoline method failed.
His money and jewelry were in his
pockets undisturbed.
Except for his health during the
past month and pressure of business
that made him show signs of weak
ness, no reason is known for Knights
suicide. 1t is not known that he
had any business troubles. He was
president of the Medford Concrete
Company, going concern; had a
lucrative insurance business and was
an extensive cranberry grower. A
few years ago he was twice elected
Clerk Of Burlington County. Later
he was Public Utility Commissioner
and until the past few weeks was
Purchasing Agent for the U. S.
Emergency Fleet Corporation, of
Philadelphia. He was leading Re-
publican in Burlington County, and
for several years, while secretary of
the County Committee, was real
director of party activities. He
counted many Of the leading men of
the State among his acquaintance.
He is survived by wife and one
daughter, Mrs. Roger Brick, OF Med
ford. He was about 81 years old.
Coroner Bolton closed his investiga-
tion on Wednesday and fixed asphyx-
iation as the cause of his death.
The funeral will take place to-
day (Friday) from the Medford home
of the deceased at 2 o'clock standard
time. Interrnent will be made in the
Odd Fellows Cemetery at Medford.

The little mother, however, could

Yesterday. the oil reserve in the

ing the Young Mems Shop, on F
street, was held guilty by Judge
Gus A. Schuldt, in Police Court,
today and sentenced to pay fine
of $40 or serve 10 days in Jail.
Following her acquittal of picket
ing Thompson's restaurant, Ninth
and e streets northwest, Judge
Schuldt consented to reopen the
case of the Young Mems Shop and
hear additional testimony in which
the defense attempted to show that
there was q dispute between the
employees or former employees and
the owners of the store.
Judge Schudlt, in overruling the
motion TO dismiss, held that q dis
pute would have to be between the
employees. former employees or per-
sons wishing to be employed in the
Etore aid that there was no evi-
dence to shoFv that the picket had
ing employment in the Young Mems
Shop.
The evidence in the case showed
that the Young Mems Shop did not
recognize organized labor and that
persons who were members of the
union and were taken into the en-
ployment Of the store, ceased paying
their dues and dropped from the
union. The picketing was termed
as a "laudable" effort to force the
store to unionize but. since there
was no EVIDENCE to show that there
was a dispute, between the owners
and employees Of the store. the de-
PENDANT was not within her rights
IN proclaiming the store unfair To
organized labor"
The conviction comes under the
Clayton act, which prohibits the in
reference with or enticement from
the business Of any person or cor
poration. Miss Ferguson Is neld
guilty Of attempting to prevent per.
sons entering the store for the pur.
pose of transacting business. An
appeal was noted.
