ON EVE OF DEPARTURE

the Atlanta Penitentiary, Clifford S.
Heller, former assistant cashier of
the Mount Holly National Bank,
sentenced last Monday to serve a
year and day for embezzlement of
more than $4,000 of the institutions
funds, yesterday coldly rejected the
affections of his daughter, who has
remained faithful in her attentions to
him during the three months he has
spent in the Mercer County Jail
awaiting sentence. The daughter,
now married, and living in Asbury
Park. came to Trenton to bid her
father goodbye. He left this morn
ing for Atlanta. Heller spoke to his
daughter i'm a cool manner and then
abruptly told her that he was busy
and had no time to talk with her.
The young woman left the Jail in
tears.
When Heller was brought PACK 10
New Jersey from Detroit, where he
was arrested after having eluded the
police for Is years, his daughter
lost no time in coming to Trenton to
comfort him. Since then she had
visited him regularly at the Jail and
had brought him delicacies, clothing
and other necessities. Officials OF
the Jail who yesterday described the
leave-taking were unable to advance
any explanation Of his attitude to-
ward the young woman. Her moth
err died shortly after his flight and
he was remarked in Detroit.

After week of sensationalism

persons to his place at Fourth and

will probably be released from jail

policemen detailed to dig into the
subterranean passages in search of a
supposed body had completed their
task last night and nothing came of
it but the finding of few bones, re-
garded as mere soup bones.

REV. O. C. BOVINE TO SPEAK
ON AUGMENTATION DAY
Progressive Council No. 70, Jr. o. U.
A. M. Plans Special Meeting.

Observance of this day, the birth
day of Ulysses S. Grant, General anc
President of the United States, was
suggested several years ago by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, to offset
the May LIST holiday of the European
Reds and Radical Communists.
Many patriotic organizations in all
parts of the country are actively sup.
porting the movement and it bids
fair to become an event of nation.
wide interest.
Due to our lack of restrictive i'm
migration policy between the years
1870-1920 we received from Europe
and Asia a type of immigrants which
has consistently refused to assimilate
with our ideals and institutions and
which through segregation into ma
tive colonies and blocs presents to
us most perplexing problem.
These alien colonies support 1852
daily newspapers, 876 weekly and
semi-weekly papers, 260 monthly and
semi-monthly papers. 1856 religious
publications, all of which are printed
in foreign languages influencing the
thought and action of % millions of
people.
Our burden of taxation is increased
through the fact that from % to $50
of the population of jails, insane asy-
lums, almshouses and other penal,
charitable and correctional institu-
lions are aliens or foreign-born or of
one or both foreign born parents.
In order to attain the ideal of One
Flag, One Country, One Language,
it is apparent we must educate the
alien or the alien will Europeanize
America.
Considering the matter an educa-
tional problem of the utmost impor-
lance Rev. o. C. Bovine will speak at
a meeting of Progressive Council No.
70, Jr o. U. A. M. on Monday evep-
ing, April 9th.

PARKING NUISANCE

Parking of cars was at its height
on Warren street Saturday night.
when every available inch of space
on both sides of the street between
Broad and Cooper streets was taken
Theatre goers arriving early take
advantage of parking their cars as
near the theatre as possible, not even
leaving a space for an exit in front
of the theatre. This condition has
prevailed since the opening, last
September and will prevail until the
City Council or Police Officials realize
the full seriousness of the situation.
1t has been said that the police
have been notified to prohibit park
ing on the South side of Warren
street, between Broad and Cooper. Ii
such is the case, why is it not en-
forced? Children and crowns ups
leaving the show rush across the
streets in that immediate vicinity
never looking to right or left. and
automobile owners pulling out from
their parking places may cause SER
ious accident.
Then again, committee from the
fire department has appeared before
Council asking that this same thing
be prohibited, but as yet no results
are noticeable. Think of the confu-
sion that might result if fire were
to break out in that vicinity when a
show was in progress, think how
much the fire department would be
hampered by the cars that are pack
ed SO close together, so close in fact
that fireman would have to walk
nearly five hundred feet before they
could find an opening to get on the
opposite side of the street.
A terrible calamity will sometime
result because of the lack of park
ing ordinance, and all because some
one failed to act.

Much excitement was caused last
Saturday night, when residents in
the vicinity of Cooper street and

is said was fully % feet high. on
the lot owned by John Stuart.
It is said that there we're about
twenty-five members of the Ku

though there were no citizens who
ventured near enough to find out
what it was all about.
There were three cross burnings on
Saturday night, one at Riverside,
one at Palmyra, and the third here.
The Palmyrians quickly extinguished
the one at that place with the use
of the fire department.

PENNSY TRACKS ORDERED
MOVED BY BURLINGTON

Burlington advocates for the re-
moval of the Pennsylvania tracks and
station from Broad street. fired a
bomb last week when the Burlington
Council ordered the Pennsylvania
Railroad to remove their property
from the city's streets within thirty
days. The railroad pays nominal
rent for the use of the street, but
the city contends the lease held by
the railroad is illegal.
The present business relation of
the City of Burlington to the Penn
sylvania Railroad is based on an
agreement made by the old Camden
and Amboy Railroad and Transpor-
tation Company in 1883, which allow
ed the laying of tracks and the build
ing of the Broad street station. OBJ
iections to the constitutionality of the
agreement have been made, for many
years, but the action of the Burling-
ton Council is the first legal move to-
ward the abolition of the objection.
able tracks.
The resolution was introduced by
Councilman Holmes, of the Second
ward, after he had acted on form
err. resolution to obtain on opinion
from City Solicitor Watts. The city
solicitor holds that the early actor
permitting of the use of the streets
by the railroad and the subsequent
legislation in which the railroad pro
perty now i'm the street was concern
ed would be declared unconstitutiona
if carried to the courts.
The action is causing more specu
Iation as to what Council will do t.
enforce its order Nothing could b
learned concerning the Pennsylvania
views of the condition. 1t has beer
rumored if Burlington is successful
in enforcing the order, they will b.
left without railway seriice.

Accedes To Popular Demand That He
Run For Membership In The Board.

The die is cast. Curwen B. Fisher,
who as County Auditor has been
standing at the door of the county
treasury defending it from the con-
tractor combine and their agents in
and out of Office, announces his cam
didacy for the Republican nomination
for member of the Board of Free
holders. He goes farther, too, and
tells the voters of the county just
where he stands, for whom he stands
and against whom he stands. After
the people of Burlington county have
read Mr.. Fishers open letter to them
there will be left no room for doubt
as to his position. He has been
drafted by the outraged taxpayers.
He was content to continue as Audi
tor until it was made plain to him
by letters, personal appeals, and pc
titions from all over the county call
ing on him to run; that he could be
of greater public service as Free
holder. Then it was that he acceded
to the public demand and announced
his willingness to lead the fight for
the redemption of the county's af-
fairs from the control of the con-
tractor combine.

Companies Called
To Three Fires
Fire For Time Threatened The Low
er Section Of The City.

The Beverly Fire Department was
called out twice the past week, to
extinguish two brush fires.
The first one was on Locust street
Monday afternoon, but due to 8
green" operator, the apparatus was
sent to the lower end of the city
while the fire was near the railroad
The other fire was started Monday
morning when Elton Horner, of South
Beverly, was burning off his farm
and the high wind caused the flames
to jump to Harry Cramps woods. 1t
is thought that a great many of the
continuous brush fires that are start
ing around town are caused by neg
lect of the citizens. The companies
ask that the people of the city be
more thoughtful of their firemen and
take care not to throw lighted Gig
arettes or matches in the brush.

Fire which broke out in the two
story frame building at Front and
Magnolia streets at IL o'clock Sun
day night, threatened for time to
wipe out the lower section of the
city. The first alarm was sounded
at about 1859 and both companies re-
sponded, but due to the neglect of
one of the officials the pumps attach
ed to the LaFrance pumper, of No. /
was not brought into action until
Ills, at which time Chief Edward
" Adams appeared on the scene and
ordered the pumps in action. Flames
were then visible for blocks around.
The houses were occupied at the
time and it is said that William Hen
ry, colored, rescued three occupants
of one side whom were overcome by
smoke.
1t would have been a benefit to
the community had the buildings been
entirely destroyed, but this would
have, no doubt resulted in greater
loss to properties laying adjacent to
them.
The fire broke out again after the
companies had been housed and No. /
was again sent to the location and
quickly extinguished the blaze.
