Bever-Lee theatre last Wednesday
evening, through the courtesy of
Mr.. j. B. Fox, was thoroughly APP
preciated. 1t suited everybody-the

the comedy "had 'em all laughing"
while the feature, "Her Market Val
ne" with Agnes Ayres and supported
by an elegant cast, was photo Nay
of exception.
One of the most interesting and
instructive events ever shown in our
city, were the two reels entitled,

and Fire
They were very graciously loaned
for the evening by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. Their
portrayal of how fires are started;
how they can be avoided and the
enormous and appalling damage and
waste resulting from fires; of actual
fires with apparatus, of long ago
and today's in service; commanded
especially where relating
to the homes and many favorable
comments and commentators were
made by an appreciative audience.
The next presentation will be in

JURY BEGINS ON
RANCOCAS PROBE
Ready at Mount Holly to Start In
vestigation of Rum Smuggling
Phila. Bootleggers Identified
"PAY-oFF MAN" FOUND

New Jersey State police and other
officials investigating the Rancocas
creek rum-running scandal are sat
isfied that the leaders in it are no.
torious Philadelphia bootleggers,
whose names and addresses are
known to them.
The delay in starting the grand
jury Investigation of the liquor
smuggling cases has been advantage
Gus, because in the meantime the
identity of the leaders of the boot
Logging has been established.
For instance, since October 10 'sthe
pay-off man" of the bootleggers has
been recognized in Philadelphia by
New Jersey policemen who talked to
him
He is the man who came hurrying
to Burlington from Philadelphia on
October 2 with large sum of money
to furnish bail for ffty-fve men
arrested the preceding night in
raid on liquor-laden barge in the
Rancocas creek.
The State policemen found him
when they went seeking the men
they really wanted to see, the lead
ers of the boot-leggers who had
given fictitious names and addresses
when they were first arrested. The
successful investigation of these men
is expected to result in indictments
by the Burlington county grand jury
against these big bootleggers in their
own names.
Former Judge Harold B. Wells, of
Bordentown is foreman of the grand
jury whose probe will follow three
lines.
One is to bring to light every bit
of available information about the
highly organized system of liquor
smuggling by way sof .a Rancocas
Creek that is believed to have been
going on, in greater or lesser de-
gree for nearly two years.
Circumstances attending the seizure
of the barge William d. Blades on
the night Of October l, with large
quantity of imported liquor on board
furnishing two other lines for the
grand jury investigation. The fifty
five men arrested on the barge by
four State troopers and a detective
were released in from 5000 to $500
baih Justice Lloyd called for an in
vestigation of the amount of the bail
required by the bootleggers.
Tht two detectives assistants to
Ellis Parker are also to be investigat-
ed upon their failure to act on
Tip" they received about the barge.
An important witness in the case
is Sumner Elliott who gave the tip
to the county authorities.

day evening, the secretary, Clarence
l.. Hazard, was instructed to engage

water, sewers and electricity and is
high piece of ground we'll drained.

that she was surprised at the general
ly fine condition of our school and
highly complimented Professor Dilks
on the spirit of cooperation among

Park.
An offer of $500 per pupil a

SEES to the doors of the high school.
After school the buses will be wait
ing at the school to return the pupils.
Any who are delayed could use his
regular BUSES passing through Bev-
erly and Burlington. The Board laid
the matter over for further consid-
Grafton.
The resignation GU Professor Dilks
was discussed and resulted in re-
quest to the supervisor to complete
the school year and have his resigna-
ton take effect in June instead of
January, 1926.
Mr.. Dilks reported that several of
the classes were becoming badly
crowded, especially the 4th grade

REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE
IN BURLINGTON COUNTY
Effort Made at Last Minute to Dust
One of the Four Horsemen Stickers
Make Last Minute Appearance
LAUINGER THE LEADING MAN

While men and women workers for
the Republican ticket labored
throughout the day on Tuesday to
get out the vote for Whitney and the
rest of the Republican ticket, the
people showed the same lack of in
terest that had been manifested from
the first and the consequent light
vote nearly everywhere caused very
little surprise.
Burlington county gave Whitney
an approximate majority of 5000
which is about the usual percentage
of Republican majority over the
Democratic vote.
South Jersey also showed its stall
wart Republicanisrn as usual, but
could not overcome the big Demo-
cratic vote in the upper end of the
state, which resulted in the election
of A. Harry Moore by a majority of
10000.
The fight for Common Council
waxed hot and fierce in Beverly with
Lauinger, Stevenson, Allen and
Brown coming out on top. Lauinger
was the leading man.
The political leaders in both dis
tricts of this city, at the last minute
cut the candidate for the unexpired
term of Council, P. Preston Brown,
and hastily flooded the booths of the
polling places with stickers bearing
the name of E. Leroy Grant. This
made Grants third try for Council
and he was again defeated by ma
jority of sos votes. No reason was
given by the leaders for the attempt
ed ousting of Brown.
The complete returns for Beverly
City are as follows:
