ed ahead by getting two runs. Eckert

Clevenger home.
In the eighth. Delanco made the
score two all when Kalbach cracked
out hit, stole second, and tailed

JACKIE COOCAN A GENIUS
IN THE RAG MAN
The Kid Proclaims His Genius From
Junk Cart.


A New York orphanage burns and
many thrilling rescues are affected
But one boy is reported missing
That's little Tim Kelly Tim finds 6
place to flop in Max Ginsberg's ole
junk cart. and pleads not to be sent
back to the orphanage. Riding
around on the cart the kid proves
himself to be born trader and does
the work while Ginsberg sits and
broods.
Ginsberg's brooding is due to the
fact that he has been robbed of the
profits of a sewing machine shuttle
invention. He had perfected the in
vention while working in sweater
shop on the East side of the city and
had entrusted his plans to pair of
slick lawyers who did the rest. Toe
ignorant of business to fight for his
rights, he has drifted to the backwash
of life, where he struggles no longer
But young Tim Kelly is a fighter
and he has made the Jewish bene-
factors business fighting PROPOSE
ton. It's the kid who wars against
rival junk dealers and it's the kid
who resolves to right the wrong done
to the old man.
Tins smiling face helps in trade
where Ginsberg's perpetual gloom re-
pels, and their firm-for Tim has put
the firm name of Kelly & Ginsberg
on the cart-prospers. One of Tins
best turns of luck is when a wealthy
woman, wishing to get rid of a slot
of old clothing gives them to him
In the pockets of one of the suits,
Tim finds a letter, written by one of
the crooked lawyers that gives all the
evidence court would need to es-
tablish the rights of Ginsberg to the
profits of the invention. But Tin
doesn't realize that the letter has any
value and burns it.
1t is only later when talking tc
Ginsberg that he gets information
that connects up with the letter, and
them Then Tim goes out to clean
up for Ginsberg. And he does 1t with
means as logical as they are ingen-
ious.
Tim proves himself high class

AUTOMOBILE THIEVES AT
WORK IN THIS COUNTY
Rein Motor Company, OF Riverside,
Gets Stolen Cars.

The past week has brought to light
what is said to have been the most
daring work of gang of profession
al automobile thieves which have
ever operated in Burlington County.
New cars have been stolen from
various warehouses in different parts
of the state and the thieves after
changing the motor number and
forging the bill of sale, brought the
stolen cars into Burlington County
and sold them to ready buyers who
upon being told of the cheap price
of the car readily bought them.
Thh method has been used for
nearly year and all efforts of the
county detectives to trip the thieves
up have proven futile. 1t was only
after Bordentown man had pur-
chased Ford coupe from one of
the men, decided to get larger
car and traded it in to the Rein
Motor Company, of Riverside, who
in turn sold it to Miss Elizabeth Van
Solver, of Walnut street, this city.
1t was through this trade in
route that the cars were checked
up and it has been said that the
Rein Motor Company received sew
eral of the stolen cars from pro-
spective buyers who traded them in.
In an interview with Frederick r.
Rein, president of the Rein Motor
Company, he said that his company
was fully covered and that anyone
who had purchased one of the cars
from him would be- fully taken care
of. He also intimated that arrests
could be expected in the near future

SPEAEEASIES RUN
WIDE OPEN HERE
Doubtful If Public Will Tolerate In
activity Until After Election.

When on last Sunday morning at
five o'clock, the last patrons of one
of Beverly's newest and most flour
ishing speakeasies, reeled out jibber-
ing and staggering, the signs of re-
lief in the neighborhood of Third
,and Cooper street could almost be
heard to the Five Points where the
officer on duty can usually be found.
The customary maudlin singing,
foul mouth language and boisterous
laughing had kept the neighborhood
awake from early Saturday night
which is the favorite time for these
revels.
Probably no particular attention
would have been given to the affair
but for the fact that one poor wo-
mans nerves could stand the strain
no longer. Her husband was one of
the last to leave the "joint' and was
in a pitiful condition when deposited
on his doorstep.
She had previously tagged" him
at the regular saloons but now faced
problem she could not solve. How
she could flag" him in all of the
speakeasies of Beverly was too much
so she decided to make complaint
to authorities higher up than the
Beverly police. Whether or not this
has been done is just a matter of
conjecture.
1t has also been reported that an
officer attached to the plain clothes
department of the Beverly police
was also one of the inhabitants of
the rum hole and he was seen Keeling
home paralyzed drunk on Sunday
morning and that he was seen to
come from a house on Third street
by resident of that vicinity who
was attracted by the sounds of rev.
elry and who went to investigate
the cause.
Reports have also been brought to
this office, from a reliable source that
one "dive" furnishes strong coffee in
the early morning hours to those
who have drank their fill, thus en-
abling them to walk with more
steady pace.
When all this revelry is going on
where is the department of public
safety, where is the chief, where are
the officers, why have the Police
department officers who are time
after time breaking the laws instead
of upholding them?
The Beverly Police Department
needs new blood, new leadership and
until they are appointed the rum-in-
tested areas in and around Beverly
will continue.

For the boys it was great lark,
