County Commerce Chamber Against Railroad Merger

laugh delegations prom cape may and wildwood at- 1 tend the meeting in ocean city — chamber will petition state highway commission for ferry

Business ami professional men, with a few ludies, hud crowded every inch of .available space in the Commissioners Room of the City •Hall here on Thursday, when President Lanning Myers called the Capo May County Chamber of Commerce to order.

Cape May was represented by the largest delegation. It trayspired that ut the lust meeting of the Chamber, former president, Luther Ogden had challenged Wildwood to bring the largest delegation. Mr. Ogden made good his boast, bringing sixty-five persons with him to Qcean City. Mr. Gostin, of Wildwood, conceded the victory to Cape May.

Former Senator Lewis T. Stevens introduced the discussion relative to the proposed merger of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad' into the New York Central. Mr. Steyens volunteered the in-, formation that the Interstate Com-i merce Commission would meet on December 19th to consider the advisability of the step. The business men of Philadelphia were emphatically opposed to the proposal, on the ground that the -merger would inevitably react harmfully against the port of Philadelphia, diverting the stream of traffic to the ports of New York and Baltimore. Mr. Stevens further added that' the merger would effect injuriously , the resorts of the coast. He, therefore, submitted a resolution protesting against the merger, and requesting the Interstate Commerce Commission not to order it. The resolution was unanimously adopted.

Mr. Setvens, as chairman of the Legislative Committee, also introduced the subject of the Delaware Ferry. The State Highway Commission meet in the near future in

Atlantic City, it was said, to consider the question of the ferry. The County Chamber felt that It j should be represented there by the Highway CommTttee, that the Commissioners might know the county was still eager for the construction of the ferry. In the absem c of Mayor Joseph G. Champion, Clayton Haines Brick welcomed the County Chamber to the city, complimented the different resorts upon the splendid delegations- which represented them, and pledged that if it laid within his power, Ocean City would be property represented at the meeting to be held next month in Dennisville. Former president, Luther Ogden, made a strong plea for more per►ons to take up associate membership in the' Chamber. ' The fees amounted only to $3.00 a year, which practically constituted the only source of revenue the Chamber could dispend on. The speaker of the evening was

the well-known physical instructor of Atlantic City, Dr. Maroney. In a most able and instructive 1 manner, Dr. Maroney traced the j evolution of preventative medicine j and its introduction into the curricula of the schools.

The greatest asset of every community, said the speaker is the boy and girl. The age demanded a higher degree of education than j ever in the history' of the world, yet of the twenty-five millions of ; children attending the public schools, less than 60 per cent, fin-j ished their course through thej Grammar School.

The number who finishes through ' , High School was very much lower. "Enlightened citizenship is the hope of Democracy," said Dr. Maroney, and emphasized the necessity of the state devoting greater attention to the health of children attending the schools.

Immediately following the meeting, the company adjourned to the First Presbyterian Church, where a splendid lunch had been prepared by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the American Legion. Fully one hundred and twenty-five persons enjoyed the repast. '

KAUTCHMAN DENIES A FALSE REPORT

Brands Statement He Loaned Car to Breckley As A Falsehood William Rautchmun, the wellknown painter and decorator, repudiated with indignation a state- ( ment which appeared in the press of a neighboring resort.

In a report ef the accident which occurred near Pleasantville, when I the car driven by Everett Breckley turned over and two of the occupants, sisters from Northfield, were seriously injured, the statement was made that the car in question belonged to Mr. Kautchman, and the inference made that the latter had loaned the car to the youths. The name and address was given correctly, all bearing the earmarks of an authentic reportAs a matter of fact, it appears that Mr. Kautchman5s car was in the garage undergoing repairs at the time. Further, his machine is a sedan, while the one operated by the youths was a touring car. Since the report appeared, Mr. Kautchman has been placed more than once in an unpleasant situation. Not only was it impossible for him to have loaned his car, Mr. Kautchman added, that he had never loaned it to youths of that age and never would.

The first opportunity to advertise the loss came on the fo lowing Thursday, through the columns of the "Sentinel." P at,same eveninK» however, Mr. was filled upon the a ffcntleman who stated he had found a purse in the locality mentioned, and later a meeting was

"The young man," said Mr. Edwards, a- fine looking, clear-eyed i fellow, laid the purse on the tatle saying, 4I believe this to be the lost purse, and it contains $111.00.' "I -informed the finder that tho young lady had phoned me to the effect that she believed the purse contained between $70 and $80. .. ..r ,c°mment is unneces- . sar>'i added Mr. Edwards, "but I trust and believe that the young [man, Paul Schulze, employed in « Kurt s Auto Shop, will succeed in whatever vocation he selects in life. He is assured of the good wishes of one who sincerely admires the honest integrity of the young man." Every thinking person will share in Mr. Edward's elation, not so much for the recovery of the purse, as for the discovery of a young man of sterlin gqualities of character. As Mr. Edwards pointed out, inasmuch as Mr. Schulze had been

Mr. Schulze evidently \ scanned th epages of the "Sentinel" j with the hope of discovering the owner of the purse. In passing, it ; might be added that this is only one j of several proofs received "within . recent days of pelusing and profiti able results following advertisements appearing in our columns.
