FIVE BODIES ARE - RECOVERED IN ANGLESEA'S JISASTER TRAWLERS AND BEACH PATROL SEARCH SANDS FOR BODIES OF THE POUND BOAT CREWS. JOHNSON'S BODY. RECOVERED AT CREST. The body of Captain Charles Johnson washed upon the sands -at the foot of Sweet Briar road in Wildwood Crest at about 2-30 Wednesday afternoon, making the fourth body recovered. The body was sighted by Edwin B-' Fagan, who watched the object for over an hour before it came to rest on the beach- The ' body had no preserver ana no. boots on, and the oilskin coat, fastened" with one fastener, was over the head. It is thought that even if the men had preservers on that the action of the waves might have torn them freeAll Five Mile Beach is saddened by the accident and sick with pity for the relatives and friends. What happened out there in the misty "bea will never be known. Fishermen familiar with what the men were doing say that either one of two things could have caused the terrible loss of- life. One of the theories advanced is that the two boats heavily laden with the waterlogged poie* got caught in the trough of the seu because of a dead engine or sominjrog else, ar.u war swamped by tpe impact of the waves Ji virg one of t>«. b>a:< ur.de".

Up at AnglCsea the coast guards •are saddened, by the fact that--they> because of balky gas enginS? were- 1 unable to get to sea until after ten | o'clock, but they are insistent that . what they failed to accomplish wasf not their fault- The iog^of the sta-J tion shows that there was, according' to regulations, in man fn the look- j out 'from sunrise until five o'clock- 1 The hours and men on duty are: sunrise to 8, Stewart; 8 to 12, substitute, Smith; 12 to 4 P- M., McCarty; 4 to 5, Mears- jpThe log book shows that the boats passed through the inlet at 6-46, |}ut their return will not be cordedReports that the crew' were not at

- . the station or neat, ware refuted s Wednesday by -the jeAjire crew present and "by their records, and while early criticism said that some were r ' gunning, the only members aqtually '' -gunning were those off duty And not ' supposed to be at the station. Chad- 1 wick, the engineer, tested out the en- * gine of the boat at about 8 o'clock I .Monday morning and everything c seemed to be all right. . At .twelve * he went off duty and was not sup- c posed to return until 12 .o'clock Tues- * day. At 2-30 he saw; five geese set- - tie on the bar at the inlet mouth and ;l went across and killed three of them. 1 Yet At that time he was .within hail- 1 ing distance of the station. At six o'clock the station was notified that the boats and" crews had not 'returned- It was then dark and J four men immediately attempted to 1 Start the engine, which is a fifty- t horse-power one, and started b? 1 turning the .flywheel by hand- From c that time until just before- ten all four men worked steadily to get the boat under way without avail and Engineer Chadwick was called from home where He was asleep- He came c down and at 10.30 got the engine ' running and then remained with the 1 boat The boat put to sea and with the Stone Harbor crew they searched 1 the black and misty waters until I four o'clock Tuesday morning with- 1 out avail- In the meantime, at 7-30. -1 Augustus Hilton had reported the 1 finding of o«e dT the boats at the 1 foot of 4th avenue. This boat had 1 lost the entire stern/ and still had. 1 the two cross timbers lashed to her 1 Continued1 from Page 2

WHY DO THE1 DO 1T7 I The latest instance of frenzied finance has caught the people of Atlantic City and vicinity for large am- , ounts- Whether Cape May and vicin- | ity has escaped we do no' know. If it has, it is likely to be because no , opportunity was offered here. If all . of the money thrown away by f ape . May "people in bogus stpek of difI ferent varieties could have been plac- . ed in legitimate Investments, improvements here, it would have had a wonderful effect upon Cap# May's . progress and prosperity and would I have yielded fine percentages of profit to the investors, it is high . time that people who become pros- . porous enough to save a few hundred j dollars should become wise enough not to throw it away , TO THE VOTERS OF CAPE MAY COUNTY: 1 wish to take this opportunity of - thanking the voters of C'apV . May • County for the splepdid support given mc at the Primary Election and f while the majority realized through • out, the county was most gratifying. " yet to; me the fact that majorities f were given , me in 21 out of the' 29 voting districts in the county was '• certainly a splendid endorsement ol f my candidacy. v It i.- most important that every JRc* e publican of our Country stand? by s oi our vrouiury sianiip oy -

" their convictions at the General Elec- - tion and support by their own vote and work the Republican OamThlates as it is absolutely, necessary for the welfare of our State and County that ' the Republicans retain control of both ' Senate, and Assembly, particularly in view of the fact that next year we shall have to elect a Governor who s must be a Republican. I would particularly urge support' '* of my candidacy for the Assembly, y a.s the fight for cdiitrol must of ne- '• cessity lay in that body, the Republicans having a sufficient number gf ^ ! holdovers to assure control of the K Senate for the coming term. e I.. ask your continued support be- ^ cause we must overcome the possibil|S ity of the large Democratic Counties sending a sufficient numbey of Democrats to the Assembly to gain con- ( trol of that .f>ody, and because Ejfeel that my past Public experience has ^ t fitted mc to represent Cape MayCounty* in a proper and satisfactory " i manner.

The Medical Profession is constituted of trained men .and "Women who have qualified in fundamental knowledge of diseases, their prevention and cure. The true welfare of patients demands no exclusive dogma, but ability to make diagnosis and select fitting treatment. Tills may include a great variety of means for their "benefit. If Health is your most- valuable asset should not tlie State, in health laws and t'heir administration, consult those it. has specifically licensed for such work? Should it not demand of . all practitioners UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS FOR UNIFORM RESPONSIBILITIES? . In the Legislature — 1921— -some Legislators voted against these safeguards of EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS — against the people's welfare. One of these Was Senator Bright, of Cape -May. r 4* VOTE AGAINST William II. Bright — For Senator This is strictly a non-partisan movement, purely to sustain educational standards. YOUR HEALTH .
