The Bit! credit schcdiflc will ] ,000 if reduced. Never again af- j ter September Sth will it be possible to get M> "'any credits for) subscriptions. Every subscription secured now is worth nearly twice as much as the same order 'three | weeks fro... now. ' It is (he history of campaigns of this kind that the BIG prizes are usually won while the first •nerio-l credit schedule is in effect. So far. competition has not I wen -keen . Anyone with energy and ambition, could, even now, forge to ; the front in a short time. Note how cssv it is to secure half a million credits. Ami 5 00.000 credits will lead the entire race by a big plurality This first period, ending one week from this Saturday night, September Sth, is all-1m- 5 P0RTANT. It means WIN or j LOSE to every club member inn this campaign. Not to take ad-j-rantage of every hour between now ami the end of the big credit per-! | iod is t" deliberately throw away ( \ every chance of winning one of these magnificent automobiles. Take Time By Forelock Some folks seem to think they, j have no time to go into the race! ami win. let us say to these people. and the history of newspaper circulation campaigns will bear us; out in the statement, that the really busy people are the ones that | any nusy people arc tnc ones that

most often carry off the most dcalrablc prizes. The really busy' person, not the one who makes this an excuse for lack of aml.i-' dan, or uses it as a cloke for lazineus. but the person who really! does things, has learned to appreciate the value of time and consequently makes every minute count, with the result that in a campaign of this kind, as well as in every walk of life, they, outstrip their ri-j rah through their intensive efforts. Stop "thinking it over" — get into 1 the race with both feet, and win one of the big prizes.

JURY EXONERATES I LAWRENCE IMBESI I OF MADERA'S DEATH ii tec 'USED WAS HELD UNDER 1 $3000 BAIL GRANTED BY | JUDGE ELDREDGE • A coroner's jury, consisting of ; i ; Charles Suck, foreman, Henry B. I j Cree, Dr. J. Thornley Hughes, , i ! | Walter Sack. Melville Smith and i : K. A. Classon, empanelled to liearii ! evidence touching the death of Harry Madera, brought in a verdict i which practically exonerated la*- ' rence Imbesi, who was being hold H under bail. I It transpired that follow . g the 1 death of Madera in the Atlantic 1 I I City Hospital. Coroner B. C. Inger- • oil of Wild wood, after consulting 1 [with Dr. Julius Way. county phv- I ; sirian, had decided to have Imbesi ii Attorney Elmer Brown, of At- 1 lantic City, however, who had Iwcn 1 j retained for the defence, took Im- | Iiesi before Judge Eldredge, of the 1 ! lease'un.i'er "liail 'of $MW(h Justice ' ; ! Ware, of the local court, hail prcjiviously accepted bail to the amI ount of $2000 for Imlicsi's appear- | i It sochi liocamc evident that the j Coroner resented the action of the i County Judge, for after swearing j I in the jury, lie remarked that inIfluence had licen brought to lienr | against him. relative to the case. I He. the coroner, was sorry to think that an attempt to bring political I influence to bear upon him hail jbeen made. He was not there top ' prosecute, but in the discharge of | I the duties of his office, to discover j i the truth, and all the truth. Hoj : had therefore asked former Pros- 1 securing Attorney Eugene Cole to ' i assist him in conducting the in- i | quiry. < 1| As the investigation proceeded the evidence became between cer- . I tain witnesses very contradictory. | ! especially as the rate Imbesi was t Y I... . . - i ,u„ l^.li.1, < ' ; running thesgnf and the

■ « here the car struck the deceased. ! Officer George Sack testified as | to being called to the scene of acicident ami of finding Madera lying I upon the sidewalk. The officer as- *[ sisted in taking the injured man to '.lie offices of Dr. Allen Coram, and . j Afterwards to the hospital. '■ The officer further identified the ejlr.d Imlicsi as in possession of the "j car 'Which struck Madera. ej Offirer George Myers was called ? | to testify that he had upon two ,"! occasions warned Imbesi against "'exceeding the speed limit. In re- : ply to Attorney Browi). the officer . slate- 1 that after the second warn- ' ing Imbesi had not again offended. Dr. Townsend gave evidence to | the effect that Madera was unconscious when brought into the of- ' tices. Upon examination he found c that the injured man had sustined F a fractured leg. Further, finding he was bleeding from the left ear " and both pupils were turne-l to the right, he ulso concluded that Mae dern had sustained a fractured ' skull, and immediately had him removed to the Atlantic City Hosp piUI. 1 In reply to Attorney Cole, Dr. c Townsend stated he could render " no assistance beyond giving the inp jured man a hypodermic stimulant. His conclusions were that the accident would terminate fatally. Dr. John Way's evidence in the " main agreed with that of Dr. Townsend. Death had ensued in his judgment from concussion of the brain and shock following the 1 accident. 1 One of the very few eye witness1 es to the accident gave his name as Tony Zellic. According to his " testimony given in very I m per feci z English, Zellic was rondueting his c peanut stand nearby when the accident "occurred. According to his evidence, the car driven hy Imbesi * was traveling at n high speed. 1 1 ater Joseph Kilmer, who clnimH e.| to have been an eye witness. 1 from his window over the office of e Union Transfer Company, gave ' evidence in direct contraditcion to 1 Zellie. According to this witness the car driven by Imbesi was trav- - elling at a slow Ate, and was 1 brought to a stop within twelve' s feet of the place where* it struck t Madera. 1 Attorney Cole was exceedingly i anxious to discover from Kilmer. !. who had been called by counsel for r defence, who had requested him to 1 giro evidence. The name of Stan 1 Icy Pontierc was brought into the - cross-examination, until finally AtI- tomey Cole suggested a private f conference lictwcen himself. Att tomey Elmer Brown and the corop ner. What the outcome of the con- ■ ference was. did not become known. 1 Other witnesses heard included s Joseph Barrett, Mrs. Anna McNally anil Elizabeth Dechamm. atcpe daughter of the deceased, Karl - Kclk, Walter Scott, Norman Wigs glesworth, Malcolm Chattcn and Ii Ralph Goff. p Eventually the jury retired and I upon returning gave verdict that I Harry Madera had met his death .. by heiniutricken by an automobile ? owned by Karl Kelk and driven by r I ji wren co Imbesi. At the request P of County Physician Way, the verp diet was amended to state that the . immediate cause of death was eonmission of the brain nnd shock, fol . , lowing the accident. This the Cos } unty Physician desired to meet the p' requirements of the State Bureau t [ of Vital Statistics. Coroner Ingersoll stating he was j satisfied with the jury's verdict. . ! Lawrence Imbesi was formally e ! charged before Police Justice Fran ' -{ cis H.

{ One of the musical triumphs of; | lhe season was the performance of j > Rossini's immortal Stabat Mater. | | given at the First Presbyterian!' j Church last Sunday evening under1 I the direction of Bernard Poland,' i The solo parts were essayed j with the signal mastery by Miss ;ls>uisa T. Corson, soprano; Mrs. j Marie Stone Langston, contralto; »> Bernard Poland, tenor, and Paul (Towner, bass. An augmented choir of thirty voices rendered the Rossini's Stabat Mater is one of those musical productions, the ! beauty of which cannot be fully ap- ■ predated unless the singers and ' , the audience, are at a measure fa- ■| miliar with the traditions sur- ' rounding its creation and the im- i : ohessing the mind of the . • composer when producing the score i Sabat Mater is in effect a surI viva! of (Jie Gregorian canto fermo, i : a scheme of unisonous plain song, i ! arranged according to the eight : celebrated church modes establish- , • ed by Gregory the Great in the : > sixth century. Approaching the i i middle ages the Gregorian chant ' assumed more ambitious and intri- , ' cnte forms, in the musical ritual • ' of the monastery. This in truth - the picture before the mind of i - as he weaved out of his • brain the magnificent phras- ' , of Sabat Mater. It was the hour of midnight. The ■ ■ Abbey bell has summoneil the - monks to their last devotions of the : ilay. Down into the dark dun-geon-like crypt they marched in . noisless procession, and there with- , . out even the light of a flickering . torch, they offer up to heaven their ■ tribute of worship in song. With ; I I this vision in mind, the frequent , . use of the unison in an outburst of triumphant adorations, found in 1 Mater, and the frequent { ; use of tripleted tempo, adaptable 1 1 for male first and second treble I voices, (written by Rossini for soI prano and alto) Is easily comprehended. . Bernard Poland is to be highly ; complimented upon havjng retained and reproduced almost faultllessly this, traditional background his performance of the work on The choral ensemble was mag- ! nificcnec throughout, in places, ( | such as with the unison supplica- ! tion. "Save us." in the first chorus, 'j approached near to absolute per- . fcction. '! Bernard Poland Is further to be • commended for the attention he 'j evidently paid to the alto part. , The voices were superb and were ,1 given the prominence alotted in j the Gregorian canto to the second i trebles of the Abbey male chorus. In the chorus, the eye of imagi1 nation sees the ancient monks • chanting their processional jus they , i enter the darkened crypt.

I The r-nvrntinnnl rights and I ceremonies observed the world over in the launching of a new boat, -late back to the -lays of primitive j civilization. A bottle of wine was offered as an oblation to the gods . who resided in the caverns of the ' j deep ami the gods who inhabited the caves of the winds, and as a | propitiation made with the hope of I winning the fax-or of the rival gods toward the launched craft. In earlier days the office was in- , | variably performed by the priest I j or priestess of the tribe. Never " -lid a clan secure the services of " a more charming priestess to pcrC form the sacred rites, than did the c j clan of Peck's Beach in the person J of Mrs. W. E. Massey, Jr. If the I I good jrill and benediction of old . i Father Neptune were not completely won over by Mrs. Massey, write him down forever as a hopel less, crusty an-l grumpy misogynist „ with no eye for the graces of charc acter ami personality which con- , stitutc the supreme charm of womanhood. y The ancients used wine. Mrs. Massey gave —the ypsls a much needed lesson (if the talcs of mythology are_truo), in the virtues of temperance and the higher refinements of American civilization, by christening the new ls>at with a bottle of Ocean City's unequalled .
