and Trooper Fusco started after the
train. But owing to bad roads found
it impossible to keep up with the
train, and they phoned to French
town for an officer to apprehend
Mcmahon and hold him until their
arrival They then crossed 20 he
Pennsylvania side where the road
provided better travelling and soon
reached Frenchtown to find Nc
Mahon in custody with a curious
crowd surrounding him.
He was brought bak to Lambert
vile and lodged in the Jail for the
night. At ten o'clock Tuesday morn
ing he was arraigned before Mag
istrate Elmer w. Smith, at which
time the ten compliments appear
ed, together with William H. Pear
ce, the head of the Company. Nc
Mahon admitted under examination
that ne had secured some $4,000
from Lambertville people, but May
or Moonan believes that the amount
will double that.
Magistrate Smith bound Mcmahon
over for the Fall Grand Jury, and
in default of $500 bail sent him to
Pennington where he was locked up
in the Hunterdon County Jail. In
the meantime Mr.. Pearce agreed
that if purchasers of plates would
submit their receipts, together with
the difference in money to make up
the actual price, that the Company
would make all the orders good
Others not appearing in person can
send their receipts and money by
mail to the William H. Butler Co.,
So South End St., Philadelphia, and
the Company promises to send their
plates.
Several victims Of McMahon's OPP
erations claim he also collected
money from them for new nickel
plate parts for their stoves, and for
new Innings. But the Company does
not make or furnish such materials,
and of course cannot make such
orders good.
Following the arrest of McMa-
hon, Trooper Fusco preferred
charges against Mike Welsh, of
Lambertville, for aiding and abet
ting him in his attempted escape.
He claimed that Welsh phoned Nc
Mahon that the authorities were
after him. Welsh protested that he
only phoned Mcmahon in order to
locate him. He was arraigned before
Magistrate Smith and released I'M
der his own recognizance to appear
before the Grand Jury if wanted as
witness.

ELKS ENJOY
ANNUAL PICNIC
200 Members and Guests Gather
in Titus Woods.

bertville-Steamed clans, both
hard and soft, with steady stream
of clam broth, from ten o'clock in
the morning until seven in the even
ing, were the favorites among the
many appetizing eatables at the
Elks' picnic in Titus woods last
Sunday. There was corned beef and
cabbage, hot dogs, boiled ham. po-
tato salad, boiled eggs, pressed veal,
liverwurst, bologna and several
brands of cheese, from the mild rat
trap" variety to the wild Limburger
brand, which "loudly" gave evidence
of it's presence. And there were
soft drinks of every flavor.
But the steamed clans took the
honors. As fast as one boiler full of
these delicious morsels were cooked
and served another was started
steaming, and by the time one batch
was eaten another was ready. And
most of the customers" were ire
peats" as each new steaming supply
of clans and broth were announced.
1t was like feeding an army, but the
able management of the committee
kept everyone happy and satisfied.
The committee was composed Of
Steve MCGOWAN, Tom Mcclure, Dick
Montgomery, Charley Barron, Norby
Rosso Louis Rocks, Tom Mitchell,
Jay Bloomer and numbers of others
who gave lift when it was re-
quired.
Baseball, cards and quoits were
going all day, and the band formed
by Norby Rosso supplied music in
enlvening tunes, interspersed from
time to time by vocal music in solos
and quartets which were heartily
applauded. Charley Bloomer acted
as master of ceremonies in present
ing impromptu performers in skits
and stunts which revealed lot of
talent among the membership. Chief
among these was the dance by Enos
Weiss to the tune of Zach du Lieber
Augustine, with a glass balanced
on his head.
Bill Britten, of Frenchtown, was
one of the baseball stars As his
/ friend, Charley Hummer, said; "H'
may run like a catboat lacking OF
the Delaware, but he's there!'
However, Bill didn't like the vinegar
which was included in the menu
and he announced to the world a
large and to Elks particularly, tina
he had crow to pick with Pork,
MCGOWAN.
Dick Montgomery again he'll
forth in the "Elk's Nest" which h
built last year in clump of tree
"far above the maddening throng.
Bucky Carr, the famous boy man
ager of the Strand Theatre, was ex
tended the hospitality of the Nest
for a while, but he was denied fur
Their admittance after Dick had t.
reprimand him quite severely for hi
extravaganza in taking soft drinl
shampoo while other members were
waiting to quench their thirst.
Charley Barron's ability as q
spieler was ably demonstrated In
drawing the customers" to the
lunch tables. And it was he who
organized the impromptu parade
at noon time which followed the
band around circuit of the meadow
adjoining the picnic woods.
Although cloudy in the morning,
the skies cleared and made the day
perfect for the occasion. And altho
most of the participants engaged in
unaccustomed physical exercise
there was but one minor casualty
C. f. Sollday stepped into a grass
covered post hole and wrenched an
ankle.

say, "a grand time was had by all

DAMAGE IN TWO
AUTO SMASH-UPS
One On River Bridge And Other At
Union And Bridge SITS.
BOTH SETTLE DAMAGES

Lambertville-0n Monday evening
Ford ear driven by Henry Morgan,
of Lambertville, eollided with a
Hudson ear driven by John Wor-
Ellington, of Trenton, at the corner
of Bridge and Union streets. Both
had the green light, Morgan COM
ing up Union, and Worthington turn
ing from Union left into Bridge
street.
Both cars were damaged by the
impact, the Ford suffering the worst.
Morgan estimated his damages at
$1,000, and Worthington claimed his
tenders were damaged to the extent
of eight dollars. Trooper Wallace
investigated the accident, and as
Morgan and Worthington were will
ling to settle damages without court
action, no charges were preferred.
However, Worthington, in making
left turn, should have given Morgan
the right of way as he was coming
from the right Worthington paid
Morgan the difference in the dam
ages, 5000.
FENDER TORN OFF ON BRIDGE
Last Friday evening, Luenzo Be-
dine, of Buckingham, attempted to
pass another car on the River
Bridge coming from New Hope. He
failed to clear the other car,
Studebaker Brougham driven by w.
M. Hall, of New York state, and
caught the front bumper, tearing it
off. Bodine was driving a Chevro-
let.
Bodine was violating a special
traffic law covering Free Bridges,
by trying to pass the other car,
and he could have been prosecuted
with possible fine of $500. But
Hall did not wish to press the
charges il Bodine would settle for
the damages. Bridge Tender John
Hartman, who is special officer
and can make arrests, was going to
press charges, but agreement was
finally made for settlement thru
Bodine's automobile accident policy.
Gordon Cooper, secretary of the
Free Bridge Commission, took Boz
dimes statement of responsibility,
and issued warning to him against
further violations on the Delaware
Free Bridges.
