I That Ocean City will have its 1 j Hallowe'en t'amivul this year a- 1 j gain is an assured fact At first 'it was intended to hold the event 1 I on Saturday. October 27. But in : i view of the fact that the Eureka 1 | Triangle Club, of Woodbury, will 1 1 | : stage a carnival on the same date ' it was decided that the local fes- L livities should take place on the! !" day, October 31. Furthermore the I-caguc lias de- \ ' cidcd to accept the invitation ex- j 1 ■ tended to them, and journey in a| i ' body to Woodbury and participate r'in the carnival there. It will be i recalled that the Eureka Club came 1 ; in ..tiung numlicrs some years ago 1 ami look part with telling effect in -'the members feel they were in- all ; r courtesy (round to repay the visit. 1 I Some discussion followed con- - corning the means of transportation. and the costume which should <

be worn on the occasion, after ' 1 1 which President A. R. Smith notiIJficd the entertainment committee, I -of which Bertram M. Darby is | i chairman, to make all tire ncces- . ' sary arrangements acting upon the suggestions, made, i The meeting the first of the sca- ■ ' son was held itt the Hotel Ixtrraiac i the future home of the league. 1 It transpired that Pres. Smith ljh.nl appointed Albert Oldfiel.l as i j Director Genera! of the Hallowe'en • [Carnival. Dr. J. Thornley Hughes t!was appointed chairman of the j It nance committee, Elmer Jackson , >' Pcnrl, chairnrnn of the publieity * committee, E. H. Classen, chairman - ; of the dirccorations committee, and f J John E. Trout, chairman of the t ! parade committee. Each chairman 'is given the "powers to select his juwn committee. Dr. J.

Powell and F.j *1 Leroy Howe. c The rrecessity of immediately i makittg certain alter ations in the J '" building and equipping it for chrhj 1 purposes came under discussion. j ,

Tire information was volunteered : that n considerable portion of the \ work would be done by the mentliers of the Israguc voluntarily, under the supervision of a building ! committee which Ore president was ' requested to appoint. Elmer Jajcksoit Pearl, Roger Williams and Alfred Powell were nuttted. The plans provide for a reading lounge 1 , a large assembly room, furnished ' j with pool laldes and other aeces1 sories of a similar character, with la nunrlrer of bedroom* always avcilablc to traveler* and salesmen j desiring to remain over night in 'Itlic city. A resident manager will probab•!ly be selccteil, and a new heating 'i system installed. The advisability or increasing the memlrcrship dues was suggesl- ' oil. Tlie speaker making the proposal on the ground that the small 1 fees now charged would not be ' sufficient to meet the carrying charges of the borne. Others however voice*} the opinion that it was premature to dis- ' cuss tlie proposition, favoring an ' effort being made to increase the inenilicrship rather than an in- ; crease the dues. ' j The announcement was made, ' j that it would be necessary to dis- | pose nf mere bond." to secure the j sum required to properly finance

the undertaking. Quite a large ) [number of members had not sub- 4 scribed .it was arjpounced, while, t others could probably Ire inducer! J > ' j to increase their holdings. L At the conclusion of the discus- I L : *i on. President Smith appointed R. ! S; E. Daftiy, Edward Hogan, and W. B M. Taylor, n committee to direct ' the campaign.

With his cus- j . j ternary enterprise and foresight, j .'Mr. Slocum immediately wrote to, , Mr. Lloyd George inviting him to j . j visit Ocean City and the Hotel ; i Flanders, assuring him of a won- . jdetful reception if he could make it possible. , , Mr. Lloyd George, through his j '(secretary replied in the following' i Dear Mr. Slocum: > I very much regret that the time I [ at Mr. Lloyd George's disposal, j s during his visit to the .

this, and requests mc to convey to \ ' you his warm appreciation of your I S " kind invitation. il 1 ^ Yours faithfully, | S.

Aiflnstructive ExpositioB Of Boy Scout Movement By Deputy Chief Of America y r J ^ DR. GEORGE J. FISHER, ADDRESSING EXECUTIVE OFFICERS |( AT REGIONAL CONFERENCE HKLD'W W. I^.IE. CHURCH j, >• CLAIMS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT GREAT NEED s. ' '■ H

Character building and ilevdop- i I nient, was declared to be the su- ' ■ preme neeil ofrthe age, by Dr. Geo. Fisher, Deputy Chief Executive i of the Boy Scouts of America. The (statement was made, and i j ably substantiated in the course of i j wonderful address delivered be- i fore the Executive Officers of Re- - 1 on Three on Wednesday evening I . at the First M. E. Church. A 4 isc provision hail been made to \ < , admit the general public, and those j who attended heard one of the . I most brilliantly conceived analysis r|of tlie Scout Movement, andlts ailaptibility to what the speaker ar- - I gueil was the trend of the time 1 and generation. Dr. Fisher discounted the gra- : tutious assumption that the boys and girls of today compare unfavorably with those of past generations as some older people are . prone" to think. The last war prov- , cd he ..claimed that the youth of t the age are not lacking in those , virtues which make good citizenship. The scout movement had I appealed irrestibly to the youth of " the age. The boy of today is sus- ' reptible to the very highest type • , of leadership, vrtiich is the duty ~ i and task of the nation to supply. I I "We must be careful," said Dr. , Fisher impressively, what we say r isner impressively, wmi we so/ *

t eventually believe it to be true and r „ ■ regulate their life and habits ac- r . cording! y. Such a thing would be a Bj nothing short of a tragedy. , y. i Character building and develop- t ,t j inent. Dr. Fisher stated has not p j kept pace with the nation's indus- - trial and commercial development. Character building was trailing ber hind insteail of leading, wherein ' ^ | lay a peril. 1 P In the world of music, the vogue | | is jatz; in drams the erase is vau- '' deville. Science had made enor- ] p mous strides, but iU wwnderful - ! discoveries were being applied to [. the making of T. N. T. h The men who were acclaimed i- great by the age were Ford and p Rockefeller— wealthy men. The ago had not produced any great j7 ! statesmen, preachers, poets or muy. i sidans. Wonderful opportunities , (were opening for the establishment

- of a world democracy, but none -1 • were able to undertake the task. r . 1 A poverty every* here was felt for j 1 !" real, vital, and dynamic leadership. v Addressing tlie executive officers r Mn particular Dr. Fisher impressed 1 [ ; them the necessity of train- , c -'ing themselves carefully for the v -j task of leadership. With a mem- ' U hcrship of- over half a million boys, f 1 1 the movement had grown to the ' > proportions when it could no longer ! tolerate poor work and inefficient , s leaders. They must learn to apply ' » the principles of the movement to i ' - ! the task of training ritizens. 1 - "Never let your interest in the ' s movement," take precedence liefore 1 your interest in the boy," said Dr. - Fisher. "The boy is paramount in , 1 > importance, the citizen and leader 1 - of tomorrow." It had become the craze of the 1 e age to dabble in boy work, the ' - speaker contiued. This was admirf able providing the work was sln- £ cr rely done and the training of the ' ■ right character. The future of a 1 boy was infinitely too important f for trifling even by well amening ' ■ amateurs. e As an example of the supreme y influence of good character. Dr. Fisher mentioned the name of the '■ late President Warren G. Harding. y Mr. Harding be said was not a naming ne sain was noi a •

man of giant intellect, not a hero of hattlcs, but his loss was * mourned by the entire world as ^ a man of unimpeachable character.

STATE OFFICIAL HEARS TESTIMONY TO PRESENT BEFORE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL The inhabitants of the Bay Seclion of the community had marshI idled their forces into the Comj missioners' Room in City Hall on | Monday to voice their protest against the alleged pollution of [the bay, and inland waterway, by tar. oil and refuse from the City Gas Light plant. i 1. J. Rikcr, State Assistant Sani- ; Inspector, and Capt. E. W. j Parsons, of the State Health Del partment were in attendance to ! I hear complaints. Without exception the evidence went to prove that the pollution,' [ rendered the bay entirely unfit ! for bathing. Several complained • |of having suffered with severe I from tlie tar. Li v^- bait was | destroyed over night, and crabs were rendered utterly unfit for | wii«. , Pleaapre and b^neaa^boats ' were damaged considerably an4 rendered unfit for use from the oil ' anil tar clinging to them. In addition the odors arising frotp the refuse were nauseating Ll in the highest degree, to the end that people inhabiting the bay . front were compelled to keep all ' doors and windows clonal day anil ! night It transpired thai application had [been made to the courts for an in-

junction restraining the Gas Com-, from emptying the refuse ' , ; into the bay. In the meantime, - , while the Attorney General was j , preparing to present the appeal, , the company applied for time to complete certain improvements , which they claimed wou'd remedy i t the evil. The time had expired, , , still the refuse continued to flow i , down the gutters into the bay, it ' . was stated. j , In view of the evidence present- 1 , , ed. the State Officials declared it , j as their opinion that either the im- i , provement promised had not been j , , carried into effect, or if they had] , they were utterly inadequate. The members of the tlelegation j , minced no words in denouncing r the company and in particular the local officials. One speaker carried , the full agreement of present In , saying that the superintendent's . word was not worth the snap of . the fingers. He had no regard for B the city, nor for the inhabitants , of/the lay section. He would not, t be said, take his word under any , condition. Even the State Officials reluctantly confessed they had e little (onfidence in the promises . made by the company. R. E. Ahle rich and others insisted that an . appeal for an injunction should be , presented.

| At the suggestion of Engineer Riker the tlelegation visited the j Gas Company plant, where they . were received by H C Schanze and Austin, who escorted them around. The latter two for the company denied that any refuse went into the hay. I-ater however the State Officials and the delegation visited the vicinity of Eleventh street, and there saw a foul oily fluid pouring into , the water. This declared the delegation furnished ample proof that the pollution was still onteriug the despite all that^Sopt. Austin 1 said to the contrary. I *The delegation appears to be

((satisfied, that the State Officinl*. j , Riker and Parsons, were by no '| means convinced with what the Gas , ( Company representatives had stat- ; ^ I ed, in view of what they had seen,-] J ami they were urged to strongly | ] - j recommend that the State take j 7 1 immediate action.

COMMERCE CHAMBER : ■ HOLDS FIRST FALL ii ; SESSION ON TUESDAY -I — 1 1 CITY SOLICITOR TO CONFER , RAILROAD Co RELATIVE TO , ; WIDENING NINTH STREET , I The frequently discussed quesj tion relative to the widening of the : Ninth street approach to the city, 1 I advanced a step towards material- I | ization, it is to he hoped, at the ! meeting of the Chamber of Com- t . j metre held on Tuesday evening in 1 . 1 the City Hall, when President E. 1 . M. Sutton appointed the City Soli- ! citor Boswcll to confer with the I

West Jersey Railroad officials upon w " the niattey.. e The president volunteered the in- ]i formanon that the railroad enmpany had consented to deed the n '* city a strip of land measuring 30 a feet in width, for the purpose of " widening tlie approach upon the t ' understanding that the city vacat- | ed Simpson avenue from Eighth to ] y Ninth street*, and that the com- e y pany would not be assessed for any t . improvements made there. t City Solicitor Boswell replied j "' in answer to the chair, that the e" j had been informed of the fact, but j lo | that the city "officials hail received t j no corroborration from the railroad j :e company. Mr. Boswell further of- | fcrrcd it as his opinion, that the f City Commissioners would be pre- j pared to accept the railroad com- j rc pony's terms, if officially made, j " He added however that the muniel1,5 pality could not contemplate any < or improvements to the road, until | /ext year,' because It was bonded ( very closely to its legal limit. ■ i President Sutton favored obtain- ] | ing the deed of land as soon as , . '*! possible, while the railroail of- . I ficials were in a propitious mood. ; ld Having secured the land, the im- , ,y | pravements could be carried out 1,1 i when funds were available. To| 1tl thut end the president asked Mr. , i Boswell if he would confer with; 8,1 tlie railroad authorities upon the- "* mattcij i nuittcri t

Mr.ffioswell readily consenteil. [ f ' and mXled that the ordinance* re- f • quired to meet the conditions stip- f 1 1 ulateil by the railroad company f ■ i were ready for presentation. ! c ' | President Sutton enquired of the ] ' City Solicitor if he could report jt ' ' any progress made in the prepare- , • j tlon of a new building code, and j ' j an amended fire ordinance. 1 Replying to the chair, Mr. Bos- , well stateii that the City Commis- \ \ " sioners had been handicapped forj I the lack of funils to engage the j | " j services of an expert to draft the I I code. Various technicalities of law j ' arose which required careful con- ; , ' side ration and expert knowledge, i | 1 ; Mr. Boswcll however volunteered , t the information that an amended ( , f fire orilinance was practically j | ' icaily. A few clauses might re- ■ 1 quire revision, otherwise the ordinB ance would soon be presented for ' hearing. r E'or the second Ume Hub week, 5 the aty Gas Light Company came - under a heavy fire of adverse critiI cism, when President Sutton infor- i • mcil the Chamber of a complaint J made to him, by Adam Lot*, who ■ is at the present time engaged in building several houses on the n tract of land formerly used as a e ball ground. Mr. Lot* had completed three

and had contemplated bu- ti ! twenty more. In view of ' tlie fact however that the Gas Com- i ' pany had refused to extend it* ser1 vice to these houses, the builder; B had i tedded to abondon the work. , a e This said the president was a lamentable state of affairs. The;* " class of house* being erected hjr 8 Mr l»tx were exactly of the type: * the dty neeiled most, of a price]' ° and rental within the means of working men: yet within fifty yds. j " '' of two banking institutions, the 1C heart of the dty, they could not <■ n obtain gas service.
