Four airplanes from the Bryn

These were private party excur-

The activities of Old Jupiter
Pluvius over the weekend failed
to diminish the throngs of pleasure
seekers, who used every modern
conveyance to the seashore resorts
Of New Jersey.
A total of 1921 persons were
taken to Atlantic City, Wildwood,
Ocean City, Cape May and the score
or more of equally famous seaside
summer towns by the Pennsylvania
Railroad. This figure, for rainy
day, was only few thousand less
for the same period of last year,
when the thermometer registered
one of the hottest days of the sum-
mer.
Early morning found automobiles
and buses crossing the Delaware
River Bridge at the rate of approx
mately 1900 an hour. This volume
was maintained until 8 o'clock,
until a slight rain Increased the:
traffic.
EXTRA. TRAINS PROVIDED 4
At this time f5oth the Pennsyis
vania and Reading Railroads were
making up extra trains to convey
the last-minute rush of excursion
lists to various points In New Jer-
dey.
The chartered excursion trains
from various points in Pennsyl-
vania and other states were loaded
to capacity, despite the fact that
railroad officials informed the trav-
elsrs that the city which was the
terminus of their train was in the
midst of a downpour of rain.

GARAGE OFFERS
PARKING SOLUTION
Establishment Presents
Metropolitan Service to
Autoists Here

A partial solution to Pleasant
ville's parking problem is seen in
the establishment this week of the
Modern Garage on West Jersey av-
enue opposite the Pennsylvania
Electric station. With accommoda-
tions for 1875 cars, the proprietor is
offering to new patrons one months
parking free of charge in order to
introduce the establishment to the
automobiles of the city.
With parking fees at the garage
set at the lowest possible scale.
and with a repair service offered
as extra inducement, it is believed
that the garage will acquire a pa
tronage which will clearly show the
city's appreciation for the valuable
metropolitan service it offers.

Mortified was at P. M. and this
mail had to be sent up to Camden

Atlantic City.
Special arrangements have been
made to have rural carrier stop at
Mortified on his return at II noon
and pick up mail for Pleasantvilie
and Atlantic City, delivering same
to Pleasantville postoffice in closed
pouch, which will be opened at
Pleasantville and distributed to in
terested points. This will mean a
saving of about "a hours in the de-
livery of this class of mail. In 9TH
er words, if a lette- is mailed at
Mortified at II A. NJ. prior to that
time, it will be distributed at Plea
santyille not later than P. NJ. the
same day. Heretofore the same
mail was obliged to go to Camden
and back again which would mean
delivery the following day.
Any mail for these points mailed
after 4 P. NJ. will also be held and
delivered to rural carrier the next
morning instead of being sent -
Camden as heretofore.
The Mortified Postoffice has
made great strides during the past
year and it is believed this new
move will give to the citizens of
that town as good mail service as
anywhere in this section.

Violation

Bankruptcy proceedings were in
stituted against the Frank ]. Ped
rick & Son Company, Atlantic City
real estate concern, in the United
States District Court at Trenton,
yesterday. Seven creditors with
claims against the firm aggregating
about 1886, 900 filed the suit.
AS basis, the action the credit
ors cite is a violation of the bank
ruptcy laws, an alleged agreement
filed by the real estate firm with
the Clerk of Atlantic County on
April last. Under the terms of
the agreement, the petitioners
charge, the Pedrick firm unlawfully
transferred a considerable portion
of its building and land holdings in
Atlantic City to its trustees.
Unsecured claimants participat-
ing in the bankruptcy suit against
the firm and the amounts listed as
due them are: Soul Brothers, $44,-
500; Howard B. Johnson, s97,371;
Stewart & Bennett, s36,154; Will
liam Whitaker, $4,000; Robert F.
Wardmann, s36,967; Lake & Risley.

Pedrick and Frank Curran. officers
of the firm, are made defendants
as individuals and as company.
Hiram SteeInlaT, Atlantic City
attorney. was appointed receiver.
The trustees had won the conf
dence of local banks and business
men, and were gradually getting to
point where claims could be paid
out of profits when they were har-
assed by legal actions brought by
certain creditors. These legal act
ions prevented a projected bond
issue which had been planned to
straighten out the financial affairs
of the concern.
Asked about the condition of the
Pedrick business as he knew it,
John D. McMullin. attorney for the
trustees. said that the unsecured
Indebtedness amounted to $780,
900, mortgage and other secured in
debtedness, 100000, and indicat-
ed assets of $4,000.
The trustees of the firm to whom
all assets were assigned in April
were John c. Shape, Bentley H.
Pope and Harlan Brandt.
Mr.. McMullin declared that Vent
nor Gardens and Amherst Gardens
were not directly affected by the
proceedings.
There were in April seventy-two
unfinished houses on the various
tracts, which the trustees endeav-
ored to complete. but obstacles were
deliberately thrown in their way
that prevented attainment of this
object" Mr.. McMullin said. Most
Of the creditors worked with the
trustees in every way possible. But
few failed to cooperate"
