OFFICER CLAIMS HE IS
NOT OPEN FOR CENSOR
Claims He Has No knowledge Of
Any Corruption

81 have no knowledge of any cor
ruption existing in this liquor scan
dial either in Beverly or in the RAN
cocas job" Officer E. B. Stevenson
exploded Wednesday morning.
when | said that | knew something,
l meant it, but it has nothing to do
with this or any other liquor scan
dial. What | have reference to hap
pened some time back, and when the
time comes l am going to use it"
Officer Stevenson asserts that some
people are trying to frame" him
and make him lose his job on the
force and he points to his record as
having made more arrests since he
was appointed than any other cop
the city ever employed.
Just what Bud means when he
says that he "has something" could
not be found out but presuming
from the way the officer talked, if
someone trys to pull anything over
on him, he win be on hand to an
swer any charge, and he won't be
wearing kid gloves.
bud" made a statement to Ban
ner representative during the past
week saying that he knew some thing
and if he were brought before the
grand jury, he would give them the
surprise of their life, but the Off
Ger was talking about one thing and
the reporter misconstrued the story,
now bud" is afraid that the grand
jury viii call on him and he won't
be able to explain Just what he
meant,

BEVERLY MAN ATTACKS
POLITICAL MACHINE
Didn't Work for His Man, So He
Gives Them the Razz

Harry H. Adams, Republican coun-
ty committeeman of the first district,
en- Monday issued a statement to a
neighboring press, charging Council
man William Donaldson and William
Kolberg with working against his
men for the office of Council in the
recent election in this city.
Just why Donaldson and Kolberg
haven't the right to work for who
ever they please was not stated by
Adams, who also charges that Don
aldson would rather have seen three
Democrats elected to the office of
Council
Councilman Donaldson and Kol-
berg, together with Bott and Lauin-
ger, were pointed out as being OPP
posed to the tactics used by the
well known flour horsemen," name
ly, Stevenson, Brown, Allen and
Woertz. Just what Adams is trying
10 get at was not made quite clear.
Donaldson and Kolberg, upon be-
ing Interviewed, both said, eff
Adams did as much toward getting
the vote out as we did, he would
have something to crow about, no one
can buy our vote, and it is our pri-
vilege to vote as we please"
Adams also states that the hackers
of Stevenson are fast gathering, but
in this we fear that he has made a
terrible mistake. Stevenson is fast
losing his hold in Common Council,
ana !, IS predicred that either Allen
or Donaldson will be the leader.
The means and methods used by
Stevenson in his steam roller" stunt
sometime ago, failed to meet with
public approval, which was shown
ip the tally sheets of the election
just passed, when the idol of Adams
failed to cross the tape with high
honors.

BEVERLY F. C. WINS ANOTHER

The Beverly F. c. defeated the
Western A. A., of West Philadelphia,
here last Saturday by the score OF
27-0. y
The Beverly team, which has been
having some pretty hard opposition
all season, were up against COM
paratively easy team for change,
and were able to open up with a
sforward- passing and trick-playing at
tack which had the visitors up in the
air from the beginning.
Charley" Ropes broken-feld run
ming and handling of punts, and the
line plunging of Eagle" Dewson and
Long featured for Beverly. All
three of these players have been out
of the lineup in the last two or
three games, and there abence has
been severely felt.
Beverly's only defeat of the year,
at Pitman, recently, being almost d.
rectly due to this fact.

N. J. CUNNING SEASON OPENS

Cunning season for rabbits and
quail in New Jersey, opened on Tues
day with a bang. The rush of
gunners, which it is said was the
greatest ever seen on the opening
day, is attributed to the fact that the
game is more plentiful this year than
in years past.
The small game season, for rabbit,
quail, squirrel, pheasant and grouse,
closes December Is. The deer sea-
son opens December II and continues
to December 81. No Sunday shooting
is permitted.

BEVERLY CITY STILL
AFTER WATER COMPANY
Attorneys Notify Council, Plant is
for Sale; Firm Head Says No


Somebody has lied," was the
comment Councilman Donaldson made
when two contradictory letters, one
saying that the property Of the Del
awae River Water Company in this
city, is for sale, the other stating that
it isn't, were received and read be-
fore Common Council last Thursday
night
The letter saying that the proper
ty is for sale was received from the
company's attorney. Another from
the company's president, John Clay
ton Jones, said that the property was
not for sale.
Donaldson declared he had seen a
letter from Jones in the attorneys
office in Philadelphia authorizing
the placing of the property for sale.
Donaldson is chairman of the commit
tee of Council investigating the ad-
visibility of buying the water COM
pany for the City of Beverly.
The old, fight about the distribu-
ton of the fire hose purchased by
Council for fire companies No. / and
2 was brought up again. Council
man Lauinger said that fire company
No. still owed $50 feet Of hose or
$3.50 and interest to Hope Hose Co.
No. g. Chairman Bolts, of the COM
mittee to distribute the hose, said
that all the meetings OF the commit
tee named to distribute the hose had
ended in deadlock The question was
again referred to the committee with
power to act. x
The $50 appropriated for the Free
Library was turned over to that in
stitution.
Mayor William B. Cramer brought
up another controversial subject
when he said that the Public Service
Electric Company had cut. down a
dangerous tree free of charge. He
said that the company should get q
vote of thanks. Councilman Lauint
ger replied that the Public Service
must have had an axe to grind, for
it never works for nothing"
j. Gilbert VanSciver, world war
veteran, was granted $500 exemp-
ton on his 1924 taxes.
Francis j. Smith, attorney for real
estate interests in Beverly Manor
presented a petition asking that the
city vacate certain streets on the old
map of the town in what is now the
Manor and give them to the use OF
the developing company. New streets
are to be put in and will be wider
than the paper" ones on the map.
This is considered the first indication
that the Delaware River Bridge
boom throughout greater Camden has
hit Beverly.
The ordinance for the vacating OF
the streets passed first and second
reading.

which resulted in his death.
Dr. Harbert was driving his Ford
sedan south on Cooper street at a
moderate rate of speed and was about

too late, he saw Hudson sedan bear.
ing down on him at a terrific rate
of speed.
The Hudson, which was driven by

after an examination he ordered him
rushed to the Pennsylvania Hospital.

hastily pressed one of the many cars
that had been drawn to the scene of
the accident into service and inter-
cepted the small coupe of Pages, or
dering him to drive to the City Hall,
in this city.
Page seemed to think that the in
vestigation was in his charge, for
upon his arrival at the City Hall he
began giving officer Stevenson or
ders, telling him just what he should
do with the driver and several other
things all of which we're out of Or
der.
Swing was arraigned before Police
Justice Thompson and was held UNI

NO CELEBRATION HERE
ARMISTICE DAY

Beverly, on Wednesday, instead of
joining hands with other cities,
towns, villages, and hamlets, through
out the world, in patriotic observa-
ton of the anniversary of the sign
ing of the amnistice that ended hos
tilities in civilizations most devas-
tating war, stood alone the same as
in recent years, not a whistle was
blown, although Beverly has several
large factories; not a bell was tolled,
and few, very few, flags were dis
played.
Honor to the men who fought, to
the memory of those who died, to
the mothers who sent them away
simple fashion. "The Armistice is
with smile" was not even paid in
signed" flashed throughout the
world just seven years ago, and
many prayers of thanks went up
from around the first front line
camp fires of the armies.
The din that stopped with the 81
lencing of guns in France, and start
ed with the blowing of factory whis-
tiles here, was not even echoed. JOY
full recollections have given way to
business cares, but the spirit of 1915
will always live in the hearts OF the
men and women to whom the wal
brought heavy sacrifices.
