JOHN FRANKLIN FORT.

6EA GIRT, N. J-. Aug. 17. In a public proclamation, issued today, Governor Fort threatens to declare Atlantic City under martial law and call oat the Stale militia to police the resort unless the liquor law* are strictly observed by the resort next Sunday and In the future. The Governor likewise declares that he may call the Legislature In extraordinary session to enact .pedal legislation which will enable him to govern the resort through a disinterested

disinterested connnlsaion to take charge of the affairs of Atlantic City, ahd to BM* a law authorizing him to remove officers, after a bearing, for failure to perform or who wilfully refuse to do fhelr duty. The Governor also says: "The Chief of PoHee will not act because the Mayor will not eo order. The Mayor refuses to do so The Grand Jury will not ludlot because they are directly or Indirectly controlled by the liquor power. The Cover-.

This is the most drastic action srhlcb baa been taken to enforce a general law ever taken in New Jer-

aey.

The Governor terms present conditions in Atlantic City p "saturnalia ci vice" and ridicules the fiasco of ten days ago. when a Grand Jury at May' Landing, the county seat, refused to find Indictments. He says that the ac lion was a burlesque, that three mem Per* of the Grand Jury were owners pf saloons In Atlantic City, and that the others were In sympathy with the ^Violator, of the law. The Grand Jury now in session U not likely to find Indictments. the Governor declares. In proof of this as acrtlon he adds that he has affidavit* from James C. Steelman and WlOlam Reevee Winters stating that they pur chased llpuors last Sunday in saloon, operated by three members of the Grand Jury. ' WH AX-GOVERNOR WILL DO. The Governor says be can eee one of two things to do under the clxFIr»t. to call out the militia and po lice of Atlantic City and declare the resort under martial Dw. This would require an appropriation by the Lqgls tature. Second, to caD a special session of the Legislature to enact special Jeglsb to appoint a
