STORM KNOCKS OUT
 VETERAN MAILMAN
Charles Anderson Gave Up His
 Strength to Duty
WALKS MUST BE CLEARED
Miss Minnie J. Bolton and Edwin \. Siegrist of BeckIey Married This NIorning-All Eyes on Set back Tournament This Evening.

Charles Anderson of Kensington, who recently celebrated the 18th an- niversary of his service in the Ken sington post office, collapsed this morning as he was preparing for his daily route. and was taken to his home in a serious condition.
 Anderson. who is 65 years old, completed a hard day on his route yesterday, the snow making it diff cult for the veteran carrier to com- plete his route but not wishing to break his record for deliveries, he finished out the day with an effort. This morning he acknowledged that he was unable to start out on the daily walk.
 The failure of Kensington resi- dents to clean their sidewalks is charged as a direct cause for the mans illness. Until noon yesterday, few attempts had been made to re- move snow from sidewalks and An derson was compelled to plough through knee high drifts in order to serve his patrons. It is estimated that out of the 160 new homes which are located on his route, barely 65 had shovelled path through the snow. The United States post office regulations do not require carrier to deliver mail to house where no path has been shovelled and for the most part this rule is strictly ob- served by carriers, but the Kensing- ton delivery man, who is a friend to every person on his route, disre- garded the rule, and gave out the mail regardless of the conditions of approach.
 To prevent a recurrence of this incident the local post office is ap- pealing to Berlinites to make some effort to clear the snow from their walks to facilitate the delivery of mail. It is believed that unless the residents cooperate with the request, the local office will be compelled to enforce the regulations which for bids the delivery of mail to those homes which have not clear a path . 10 the front door It is thought un- fair to local residents to compel a carrier to plough through the snow to deliver mail when the fall has ceased at least 12 hours before the delivery of mall.
 A similar occurrence last season put Anderson under physicians scarc for a two week period and it is fear cd that yesterdays hard grind will necessitate another rest for the vet eran mail man. Edward Giana has been chosen for the position of sub- stitute during Anderson's illness.

Henry De La Bruyere Carpenter, freed indict- ments of killing Mrs. Mills and the Rev. Edward w. Hall when all in- dictments were quashed after the acquittal verdict remained at his home here, preparing for his start south today on hunting trip.
 Fight Over Costs
 A fight over the payment of costs of the trial is already under way. the Somerset county freeholders meeting tomorrow to discuss the problem. A delegation of tax payers will be present. The cost of the county will be somewhere between S75,000 and $125,000.
 State Senator Alexander Simpson who prosecuted the case, said yes- terday he would urge legislative investigation of not only the trial just ended but of the investigation four years ago. He will have Senator William H. Bright, republican of Wildwood. introduce such a resolu- tion, he said.
 Simpson Gets Nothing
 Simpson, whose request to be re- lieved as special prosecutor immedi- ately after the verdict was reached was granted, said he had not heard from Governor Moore. He said he would not put in personal expense account, not even for meals.
 No Ill Feelings
 Mir. Carpenter apparently has no i'll feeling toward Simpson personal ly. He says:
 Tt is hard to account for the tac- tics of Simpson and. anyway. let's not go into that now. Even more blameworthy is the tabloid news paper which sicked him on.
 But the tabloid paper handed him lemon. He shall sue for dam- ages from this and certain other newspapers in due time. Simpson himself squeezed the lemon. His failure appears to have been an in- ability to gauge details. His acro- batic mind grabbed at big things; the big things were wrecked by the details.
 For instance, he brought in Dick man, who said he had interviewed Henry Stevens at Lavallette on the fishing pier. There was no such pier. Dickman set certain time for this interview. Henry Stevens was at that time in Florida"
 Mir. Carpenter says his Wall street brokerage firm lost thousands of dollars because of his imprisonme ent.
