N. J. LEGISLATURE
CONGRESS TO
FAVOR BEER, Wine
[COntinned from First PageJ

The Rev. James X. Shields, super
intendent of the New Jersey Anti
Saloon League, who sought to block
the resolution, asserted it would "go
down to Washington to help fill dead
letter archives"
The resolution set forth that:
There is widespread sentiment
throughout the nation toward a
change in the VOlstead Act so as to
legalize the manufacture and sale of
light wines and BEERS" and declar-
ed that,
"a change in the Volstead Act
legaliZing the manufacture and sale
of light wines and beer will have
the effect of saving millions of dol
lars to the Federal Government and
States in enforcing the prohibition
laws, and add millions of dollars in
revenue to the government which
have been lost since the passage Of
the prohibition amendment, and
would prevent racketeering and
general disregard of law"

FRANKLIN ASKS

rContinned from Els Paael

LCOntiHned from First PGgeI
He accepted the faith at that time
and incidently became friendly with
the Rev. c. M. Thomas, of Whining
ton, and the Rev. H. J. Carter, also
of Wilmington. Mr.. Franklin fire.
quently motored to Wilmington to
attend the mission meetings there.
In the meantime he had built up
a thriving gas filling station and
had become identified with the civic
life of Marydel and was considered
one of its desirable citizens.
Last June his secret became un-
bearable. He told the story of his
past life to the ministers. Mr..
Thomas, who counted among his ac-
quaintances the Rev. Aquilla Webb,
of First Central Presbyterian
Church, of Wilmington, was con-
suited for advice and he agreed with
the other two ministers, that the
proper thing to do was for Frank
lin to give himself up to the author
tiles which he agreed to do.
Accompanied to his native State
where a life Imprisonment awaited
him, by Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Carter,
Franklin left in June for Florida.
DR.. Webb, when he first learned of
the story, consulted Governor Buck
in the mans behalf. The Delaware
executive wrote to Governor Carls-
ton of Florida, informing him of the
facts in the case and telling him
that Franklin was going back vol
UNFAIRLY. Governor Carlston replied
that he would be glad to do what he
could to assist in clearing up the
case and for Franklin to go direct
to him upon his arrival in the
southern State.
Franklin asked leave to look up
his family before being committed
to prison and was granted permis-
sion.
He discovered, however, upon ar
irving at his home town, Boluns-
town, that his mother had died four
previously and that his old
est son had died two weeks later.
His father who was 81 years of age,
was still living, but did not recOg-
nize his son until his identity was
revealed. He found that his one
daughter was married and living in
Jacksonville, and another son was
living. He also renewed acquaint-
ance with three brothers.
Then, three days after his arrival,
prison doors closed upon him and
he started on his term OF life i'm
Immediately steps we're
begun by prominent men in the
State and machinery was set in mo-
ton to endeavor to procure a par
don for the man who had made
good, and because he had been CON
verted and believed that literal re-
pentance of sin is necessary for
forgiveness, voluntarily
returned to a prison life for the re-
of his days, if necessary.
The ministers and other local
friends are hoping the pardon will
be granted and that Franklin will be
permitted to return to this State
where he is a respected citizen. |
The crime for which Franklin was
convicted was for shooting a negro,
or whom he, with a crowd, was on
he hunt for mistreating a woman.
They found the man and Franklin
vas convicted of having shot him. !
He was lodged temporarily in Jail at
Iarianna, near Blounstown, await
ng action on appeal of his sentence
which would have placed him in the
State prison for life. On the night
before action on the appeal was
cheduled to take place, he broke
all and escaped.

at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Williams, near Milton, October u,

Plaza for the benefit of the
Kings Daughters. Those who
were not of the cast, had tickets
to sell, and under the direction
of Mrs. George Hall things have
moved along. and with success.
The play was well attended and
was much enjoyed. Most of the
members were there with their
families, and as the Circle is
quite large, they almost made
an audience themselves. So with
friends who were eager to help
the theatre was quite full Mrs.
Hall is such a grateful person,
and it has pleased her very
much to have members, and
those who were not. so willing
to do all they could. Ii is a lit
tie early to know just how much
money was made by the play.
but certainly, it will be a neat
sum to add to the treasury of
the Kings Daughters.

SAYS PUBLIC RULES
RADIO PROGRAMS.
SaItzman Tells Rev. A. J.
Mccartney Responsibility
Rests With Listeners.

The responsibility of determining
what material is to be put on the air by
radio broadcaSting stations rests prl-
marily on the stations themselves,
Charles NICK. Saltzman, chairman OF
the Federal Radio Commission, today
advised Rev. Albert Joseph Mccartney
pastor of the Covenant-First Presby-
terian Church. Saltzman made his
statement in replying to the latter's
complaint of an "abominable traffic
over the cradle of our Savior" in con-
nection with commercial program
broadcast Saturday night by WASH
ington station.
Chairman Saltzman pointed out the
public should not hesitate to inform
broadcasting stations of their likes and
dislikes, inasmuch as the stations wish
to please their listeners. He did, how
ever, promise to give DR.. McCartney'S S
complaint further consideration.
Saltzman's Reply.
Chairman Saltzmans reply to DR..
Mccartney follows:
II am directed by the Federal Radio
Commission to express its appreciation
of YOUR letter of December 81, 1881, and
YOUR desire to keep the radio broadcast
ing programs which enter the homes of
our people on the highest possible
plane. You will realize, my dear doctor,
that the suggestions relative to the char
acter of broadcasting programs are null
titudinouS, and represent in their likes
and diSlikeS a crosS-Section of our peo-
pie. If all these suggestions were car
ried into effect there would be no radio
broadcasting.
Group Studied Material.
'I am pleased to inform you that the
Federal Radio Commission recently has
been giving consideration to tSe matter
of the program material of broadcast
ing, and only yesterday issued press
release on the subject, a copy Of which
I am sending you.
LAS I have already stated, the COM
mission appreciates your interest in this
matter and will give your complaint
further consideration. The regulation
of all radio service is the subject of law
involving legal action. The difficulty of
prescribing by law or regulation exactly
what the broadcasting stations can or
cannot use will be appreciated by you.
The primary responsibility rests on
the broadcaSting stations, and it is
earnestly hoped the public will not
hesitate to inform broadcaSting sta
tions of their likes and dislikes.' mas
much as these stations naturally wish
to please their listeners"
