_ CAPE MAY STAK AKD WAVE SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, i»Io • _ ' 5=========*==

News Notes Con tinned from P»gc 1 j by is one of very few men livniK *ho . meived the storjr of Revolution »ry , times from the lips of vuiviving , soldiers of that era. » f <0 Captain 8amuel E. Perry. cuuo el for the Hotel Men's Association of Atlantic City, charges that the "Government spent a million in endeavoring to deepen Hold Spring Inlet to help a lot of Pittsburg capitalists on mere speculation." This ia not true, but for the sake of argument let us suppose for a moment, that it is. How does this improve Atlantio City's chances? . Will there be any more virtue In the set, if the Government should be persuaded to spend money in deepening the inlet at Atlantic CHty "to help out a lot of" Atlantic Oity or Philadelphia "capitalists on mew speculation?" The moat fatuous of Atlantic's apologists would not have the nerve to seriously urge that government aid for the deepening of the inlet there, la sought for any inlet sought for t

other purpose than for booming busi- d nesa and strengthening real estate p values? And what difference does It t make whether Flttaburg or Atlantic e Oitj- capitalists 'are benefitted so far as the Government is concerned? A moment's reflection is sufficient to con- d vince anybody that this Is not the con- h sideration which appeala to the Gov- 1 c eminent The fact of the matter is |[ that Atlaqtic City is up to tricks, , which has characterised her from her j earliest days. She took Cape May's weather and climate records and exploited them as her own. She has C /.ipiTTuvi for years advantages possessed i by Cape May alone of all the ,rworts c oo the Jersey coast She would _ like i juo take the credit for the harbor iof : refuge, but, Unfortunately for her, i nature is "agin" her. ss Government I engineers inform her every time tbey I make a survey. For the purpose of Influencing opinio- she has been adver- . tising a steamer freigb' line from^t- i lantic City to Philadelphia, calling at Ocean City. Five Mile Beach, and m>v Han anybody ever seen Cape v.

this steamer go calling yet? They'll have to get double magnifying glasses when they do and then "picture to n themselves." , The steamer is more than likely to prove a Dr. Cook's discovery. r The Cape May Harbor will be fin- P ished and a success as well as a blessing to the commercial and to yachting B interests in spite of the spiteful yowling c of Atlantic speculators and hot air , artists, and they may as well sober j up, shake off their paralysing fear and , realise it. -If some of the distinguished Atlantic Oity statesmen would rid their minds I of Insane Jealousy toward Cape May, e they would see that Cape May's sue- f oeaa in the creation of a harbor would i help rather than hinder this sort of ' development at Atlantic City, if it i were poealble, and they would then i stop their childish " knocking." i a e « i Governor Fort's message contains ( this description of the outlaw Atlantic j Oity: i "In one of the counties of this state , the laws as to excite matters are open , ly and notoriously violated and a direct , refusal to eaforce them asserted That soak conditions exist is shocking to the conscience and patriotism §f all right thinking citisens. Yet under existing law there is apparently I no remedy. The state seems powerless. Local officials are free from removal by the governor or courts, even for an open declaration that they will not enforoe the law. Nor is there any power of impeachment of s local mo oioipal official. The sacredneai of the Sabbath, the punt' of the ballot, the virtue of woman, the protection >of life itself, all seem inconsequential when weighed in the scale against the illicit sale of liquors. The legislature must assume reepon- *

sibility for the further continuance of ( the conditions here described. It can ( prevent it by a simple statute confer- ( ing tne power of removal upon either ( the governor or the court*. ' ' It is this outlaw municipality which ( is attempting to apply its outlawry ( principles to the bogging of the Inland Waterway and Ocean Boulevard at ( the expeaae ot every other resort on the State's caast. j There could be nothing more unrea- i aonably than to drop the work of the Inland Waterway at Holly Beach and leave it uncompleted from this point to Atlantic Oity, for the sake of beginning work on tne other side of Atlantic Oity at the frenxied demand of its real entats speculators who do not hesitate to say that tbey are seeking the Inland Waterway expenditures north of Atlantic Oity for the purpose of bringing their barren lands into the market. The building of the Inland Waterway in spots will make it an object of riffieole and North Jersey legislators will not fall to see their opportunity to eat it out of the Appropriation altogether, if Atlantic Oity' s madness for ssonopolhdng every benefit mould prevail It is not Oape May atrakme which is being attacked in

this matter but all the resorts of this c county and' these resorts should not fail to see this. Oape May will suffer least from s failure to complete the ' 1 waterway from Holly Beach north be- ' we have the harbor and 1 : pleasure boats can enjoy the watar- I way for the seven or eight miles ' which have been completed. The < ' other resorts will be the greater euf- 1 ferere. Atlantic City's fiery raiders, « either through ignorance or design, ' attack Oape Msy alone, hoping to 1 [ divert the attention of our other Cape 1 May County rescrts. which will be the { real sufferers, if the Atlantic Oity de- ' sign* on the Ocean Boulevard and In • i j land Waterway are successful. • j 8 That outlaw and rebel, Atlantic Oity, e desires to preserve Sunday and week0 day, the business of its brothels, gam- ' bling Joints, dives of all kinds and to protect tms underworld in the debaucb- " ing and robbery of innocent victims 1 who visit this Sodom and Gomorrah for d a "good time." State detectives sent e to enforce the law which local officers * ignored, were mobbed and in danger of y lives and the dignity of the State their dignity of tne state ■

debased as it never was before. |Gov- ( renor Fort is right in demanding that i be some way provided for the i enforcement of law in such places. ' fr 9 «■ ; Premier Motor Oar run from Phils- , to Oape May will occur June , 18th. and there will be aeventy-five i I Headquarters will be at the ( HotelfOape May and two floors at least will be occupied entirely by participants in thia run. » (• 9 It will be interesting to know why j May's temperature report does not appear In the Philadelphia papers daily as heretofore. There must be made viogrous effort to have it restored. An immediate investigation should be made by city officials or the of Trade and such ^influence brought to bear upon the department as my be necessary.

bayside should receive sttention and t the system o f ,'roadsfco m poai n g it should e be put in first class order. It would t be as valuable to Cape May County ax J Ocean Boulevard rsute and could , not be obstructed by Atlantic City's t pettiness. » (• (• Miss Gertrude Giddine accidentally struck an old needle in her hand recently and it lias puzzled local doctors t well as the Philadelphia Hospitals, e lias been located by the X-ray but « in a bad place for operation. c •) (• A c It has all been figured out nicely. ( year the people of New Jersey 1 epent $25,000. 000 for liquor, $6,000,000 ' tobacco, $6,000,000 for automobiles : and $17,000,000 for public schools | These figures are admitted to be pretty I nearly right Some contend that the < amount spent privately for education i plus that devoted to the public schools would equal the $25,000,000 expended i liquors, but that is only a guess. the only question to be considered "Shall we reduce our expenses in i the matter of liquors and tobacco and 1 devil wagons or cut down the school expenses? c* e 9 The owners of the MsrlboroughBlenheim Hotel, at Atlantic City, last . week paid $28,710 taxes on that palatial And yet some people wonder . why they can't get board there tor . eeven dollars per week. • • • , There ia an incipient war on between r the Delaware and Atlantic (Bell) and the Eastern Telephone annd Telegraph Companies, the latter popularly known as the Keystone. The latter has seI cored a number of subscribers which is phenomenal about 400, so that it ia 1 almost oorrect to say, "Everybody . uses the Keystone." The D. and A. is pretty far behind In the race and wants to catch up and offers some incatch and oners in- r

ducementa. The Keystone is giving close attention to its fences, for this yt tight is probably one of the kind where one company intends to sweep the other company into its maw and chaw tc it. all up if it can. If this can be ac- O oomplLbed the chawing process will g befcontinued on the helpless consumers. The Keystone £has undoubtedly obtained its great list of subscribers by 1 good service and quick adjustment of complaints and is securing new business daily. Its management asserts u ) that no corporation will 'give some- J I thing for nothing and Jad vises close ex- g C animation of glittering promise. The 1 ■ Keytone certainly brought rates down 1 and still continue* its five minutes long 1 1 distance «•»»■ with half rate at night, > in the^ace of competition which makes I • three minutes the length of a> long dis- , tance call and charges full rates at ] night.

OAPE MAY A- A. U 1 VINELAND BIG FIVE 90 On Thursday night at the Auditorium j Cape May A. !A. and Vineland Big j Five played a lively and Interesting i game in which Oape May carried off 1 the by a score of £4 to 10. May continued the splendid work • of their past few game and wera easily the stronger teem. Vineland made ' enough fouls to loae an ordinary eon- , test, which deprived the game at much ■ , of ita interest, making 24 in all, but i the fouls did not have much material , bearing on the result on account pf Jn- . accurate loul shooting, Oape May only getting 6 out of the 24 while Vineland got 2.

shooting having 4 to his credit, with Church aCclose second with 1. The referee held them closer to the rules than in their previous games and a better contest resulted. Several of the boys play a clever game and show signs of aeveolping into fast players, ' and if the teams are held to the i rules would have a chance to show , what tbey can do. _ Oape May H. 8. S.

Many devotees of the game here believe it is a mistake to permit these young athletes to play without ree strictiou in regard to foul rules. In2 itead of basket ball style of one man t playing the possessor of the ball, the absence of penalties permit the rougher foot ball tactics to be used extenB sively, and tackling makes it almost impossible to get a clean shot at tne basket. These methods almost elim0 inate the more spectacular form of passing, which when succesalully exe ecuted does much to conUise the othi*r does much to contuse tne oun-r s
