KILLED IN ACCIDENT WILDWOOD RESIDENT DIED AS RESULT OF IX JURIES SUSTAINED IN FALL FROM AUTO IN THIS CITY — COMPANION IS CHANGED WITH LARCENY. As -the result of an automobile accident last Saturday, Clarence S. Kilmer, of Wild wood, was killed and John McCann and John Coleman, who were with him were held for the grand jury on suspicion of having caused his death. They were sent to the county jail by Prosecutor Jefferson but were released after the coroner's inquest. McCann wag later held under 9200 bail on a charge of larceny of money belonging to Kilmer. The men had been in Cape May for the purpose of procuring an automobilc lieense for Coleman and were enroute to their home. Abont a half mile above Schellenger'a landing, it is said that Kilmer attempted to climb from the front to the rear seat and in so doing fell, striking his head against the hub of the machine, fracturing his skull. The injured man was brought to tjie office of Dr. Phillips where first aid was rendered and was then taken to the Cape May County Emergency Hospital where he died several hours later without regaining consciousness. When a search was made of McCann a roll of bills amounting to between 930 and 940 was found in his bosom. He admitted that the money belonged to Kilmer but denied any knowledge of how it came into his possession. The body lay in state at the home of ' his sister, Mrs. William ("aril, previous to its shipment to Yineland where it was 1 interred Wednesday. Surviving is his mother and three sisters and two brothers.

THOUSAND FISHERMEN AT WILDWOOD SUNDAY ' An effort is being made by Casta in A. 6.

CONCERT PROGRAM LOCAL MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONRENDERED CONCERT ON PAVILION BEFORE AN AUDIENCE OF THREE HUNDRED PERSONS. The City Council did a very laudable thing when it engaged the local band under the able leadership of Wm. Porter to play on the pavilion .Saturdar evenings during June. It furnishes what is a distderatum, viz. entertainment without extra expense and in strict accordanpfe with municipal ideas. t Criticism of a musical organization in a city like Cape May is scarcely in order. An opinion is about all that should be allowed. Credit where credit is due is always right and just and | should not be withheld. The general ' opinion is that the concert was a success ! and the band deserves unstinted praise j in the following items: The marches were very well played, and the band was under perfect control at all times. "The Palms" was also well rendered and the baritone soloist, Lewis Smith, deserves especial mention. Owing to the absence of the clarionet soloist who was detained on account of business the waltz was not rendered as well as it might have been. In passing judgment upon the band it should be known that the bass horns have been in use more than thirty years and other instruments have been used nearly as long. At this time a piccolo, clarionet, two alto horns, two slide trom- . and a baritone arc badly needed. . As there is not enough in the general fund of the band to purchase the above. , now is the time for ptTNaqthropie citizens to assist in this worthy cause. ( PROGRAM TOR TONIGHT The program for tonight promise^ to ] provide delightful entertainment for local music lovers. Several selections are . from widely known composers and 'The : Stars and Stripe* Forever" which was omitted at tin- 1 ist concert will be ren- , dered this evening. The program fol- , 1.

J., June 23-27, will devote a portion of its activities to the "standardization" of the tango. As some of the engineers who travel infrequently been made painfully aware, tangoing is done differently in different localities. At the summer meeting this difficulty is to be obviated by the standardization of the genuine Argentine tango, and for this purpose Senor dor. Carlos Jamie de Mortco and Senora de . Morteo, have been engaged to supervise the dances, which will be held nightly during the meeting. Senor and Senora de Morteo come from the northern interior of Argentina where the famous tango steps have been retained in their . native purity for generations. During the mornings wives of members who so desire will have opportunity to cultivate some of the less familiar movements under the tuition of the South AmeriAmong other amusement features , that will fill the intervals between the . business sessions of the Society will be . a field day in which the participants in each event will be in grotesque costume, and which will be preceded by a parade of the contestants in their "athletic" attire.
