RAPHAEL
WITHDRAWS
ATTACHMENTS
Could Not Hold LaRoche, Baker, On
Lease Which Was Never Signed
AMICABLE SETTLEMENT

Lambertville-An amicable settle
ment resulted in the attachment
proceedings instituted by Nat Rap
hazel against Arthur LaRoche, French
baker, on March Slst. Mr.. LaRoche
had tentatively rented the bakery
owned by Raphael on Church street,
but found that he could not operate
it at profit, according to his
statements. He had agreed to sign
lease, he said, if the property prov
ed satisfactory, but that had not
been the case, so he vacated at the
end of March.
However, Raphael took out at
tachments on LaRoche's bakery fix
lures and car, claiming $3.50, due for
a years lease. Evidently he was I'M
able to sustain the charge, for last
Friday meeting was held in the
office of Horace G. Prall, attorney
for LaRoche, and Mr. Raphael with
drew the attachments, paying the
costs.
As the bakery fixtures had been
bought new, with only one payment
made on them. the manufacturers
were most interested. Raphael agreed
to pay the balance due on the fix
lures and retain them in the store.
LaRoche had been highly incensed
at the action taken by Raphael, and
at one time had threatened dam
age suit. He said that the latter was
evidently glad to settle as he did,
for when the matter was closed he
presented Mr.. LaRoche with two
neckties with his compliments.

HOLE IN VAIL"
ACQUITTED
Occupants OF Alleged Disorderly
House Freed At Trial
PROOF NOT ESTABLISHED

Trial was held last week before
Judge Robbins at Pennington in
"Hole In The Wall" alleged disorder
ly house which was raided by State
Troopers on February 9th. Those
arrested at the raid were Mrs. Ethel
Reading Van Dyke, her son, Roy
Reading; Percy and Dorothy Read
ing and Stella Compton. They were
held in bail pending trial.
Harry Stout defended the accused,
and he succeeded in breaking down
the charges on technicalities. The
Compton woman was arraigned as
the individual the authorities hoped
to prove guilty Of prostitution. The
prosecutions chief witness was
man named Johnson who was made
to admit by Attorney Stout that
he had been paid to secure evidence.
He recounted at great length his
experiences at the house, and some
revolving testimony was brought out
despite the fact that women served
on the jury. A verdict of acquittal
was given in view of the fact that
actual proof of prostitution was not
established.

CHURCH MEDDLING.

Recently at a Methodist church
conference held in Philadelphia.
New York clergyman made the fol-
lowing statement: "The more in
telligent a man becomes, the less he
attends church services" The state
ment startled even the blase minis
tiers and laymen there, who were
spending half of their time talking
orthodox religion, and the other half
discussing Pennsylvania politics. If
the allegation is true, it stands as
an awful indictment against either
education or religion, with the
chances appearing to condemn the
latter. The growing tendency of
our religious leaders DO invade the
fields Of government, Of. politics, of
finance, of almost everything under
the sun, is raising in the minds of
thinking men the question of just
where the thing is going 20 eud.--

I02 DOGS
DISPOSED OF
Perkins And Doughty On The
Trail OF Evaders
rIS,p 60 NOD EArI
GET 50. FOR EACH

Lambertville-It was enormously
reported last week that sixteen stray
dogs had been disposed of here since
the appointment two months ago of
Charles Doughty and James Perkins
as dog catchers. But the sixteen dogs
referred to were those disposed of
last week since the Mayors proclaim
alton following the discovery of a
dog with rabies.
Since the appointment of Catchers
Doughty and Perkins they have dis
posed of 1902 stray dogs, either for
not having license tags or else in
violation of the proclamation calling
for all dogs to be muzzled until the
rabies danger subsidies. The city has
been at disadvantage for several
years in not being able to secure
a capable dog catcher, and the Ii
cense law has been flagrantly vio-
lated.
When Doughty and Perkins were
appointed, City Clerk Van Malta an
nounced that they "meant business"
and that license tags would have to
be secured. At that time only eight
tags had been issued. Since then SIS
tags have been issued, making a
total of 70 for this year. But there
are many more who are still evading
the law, and if they don't want their
pets destroyed they will have to Sc
cure tags. These cost only one dollar
for the year, but if their dogs are
caught they will have to pay two
dollars to redeem them in addition
to the license charge of one dollar.
1t is not the wish of the city
to put hardship upon dog
owners, but there have been so many
rabies scares that the safety of the
public must be safeguarded. 1t has
been proven that the majority of
cases of rabies develop in mongrel
dogs of little value, and owners Of
such dogs do not feel they are worth
the one dollar necessary to secure
license. Consequently the process of
being worked out is rid
ding the city of the most danger
out dogs, and those worth keeping
are being protected by their owners
by complying with the law.
A significant thing about the dog
catcher's position is that heretofore
it has been hard to secure a man
for the job because it was consider

each for the dogs disposed of, and
thus in a little over two months they
have earned S204.
