TO GET AFTER ROWDIES.
Branch Brook Park to Be Unhealthy
Place for Them Hereafter.

An effort to rout a gang Of rowdies
who infested Branch Brook Park dur
ing the summer and annoyed women
in several instances and assaulted men
is being made by the park police under
the leadership of Chief Gilhooley.
1t is said by the police that
the gang is composed mostly of
young Italians who live in the vicinity
of the park. Alonzo Church, secretary
of the Essex County Park Commission,
has instructed Chief Gilhooley to keep
a sharp outlook and arrest anybody
acting in a disorderly manner in the
park.
Young women have been insulted,
and when their escorts protested they
have been assaulted in the park sew
eral times. The territory is covered
by a small force of men. Chief Gill
hooley said that he thought the city
police should aid the park force in their
crusade by increasing the patrol along
Clifton avenue from the Lackawanna
depression to Bloomfield avenue.
IF more police protection is neces-
sary we will have it," DECLARED Secre-
tary Church, of the commission, land
If necessary I will see that plain
clothesmen are sent out to round up
these rowdies."

EXPLAINING EXODUS OF
M FROM ENGLAND.
Authorities Do Not Agree as to the
Cause Thereof and You May Take
Your Choice of Reasons.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The news
cabled from England that unmarried
ONE by the thousand have sailed, or
are about to sail, for American and
Canadian ports is variously comment
ed upon by steamship men here.
Oficials of the White Star line. whose
steamer Baltic is reported to have a
thousand such women aboard, are in
clined to think that this feminine con-
tingent is not abnormally large for this
time Of the year. 1t is simply that
servant girls and maids are returning
to this country.
1t is also suggested that the Dublin
Exposition drew a large number of
young women back to Ireland, where
they took the opportunity to visit their
old homes, and that they are now on
heir way back.
Yet another Ia given here for
the exodus Is the swift development
of the Canadian Northwest. British
emigrants, 1t is said, have gotten their
newly acquired farms into shape and
have sent word to their sweethearts to
join them.

ONLY THREE IN STATE.
Elizabeth, Camden and Burlington Men
New Jerseys Active 33d Degree Masons.

That there are but three active thirty
third degree Masons in the State of New
Jersey is probably an almost unknown
fact even in many Masonic circles. This
statement was made last night by n well
known local Mason. The three active
thirty-third degree Masons are: Robert A.
Shirrefs, deputy Of the Supreme Council
Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Northern
Masonic jurisdiction for the State of New
Jersey. his residence being at 312 South
Broad street, Elizabeth; Stephen Smith,
superintendent of the Masonic Homo,
Burlington; william p. Weiser, lander
All other Masons in New Jersey upon
whom the great honor of the thirty-third
degree has been conferred are honorary
members. The difference between an active
and an honorary thirty-third degree Mason
lies in the fact that the former has a
vote in the executive sessions Of the Su-
preme Council and the latter has not.
The three days session of the Supreme
Council In Boston, during which Austin
II. McGregor. the only honorary thirty
third degree Mason in Newark, had mat
distinction conferred upon him, closed last
night. Among the prominent citizens of
Newark and it's vicinity who are honorary
thirty-third degree Masons are the fol-
lowing:

FOR DEEP CHANNEL
JERSEY TOWNS TO FIGHT
FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Navigation of Delaware River Must Be
Made Easier, Steamboat People
and Shippers Say.

BURLINGTON, Sept. 2O.-River pi-
lots and steamboat captains who have
had experiences with the t~ortuous
channels of the upper Delaware are
being sought to lend the weight Of their
testimony to the demands for a deep
waterway to Trenton at the big meet
ing in the Chamber of Commerce at the
capital city on October l. Railroad
agencies are striving in every way pos
sible to thwart the designs of dredging
a thirty-foot channel to the head of
navigation, opening up facilities OF
water transportation to many riverside
industries which have had to depend
upon the rail, and the consequent ex-
orbitant freight rates. Manufacturing
interests, seeking to throw off the yoke
of the railroads, believe the word of
the river captains will be of big assist
ance in impressing the national govern
ment with the need of remedial legisla-
ton.
Industries representing investments
of millions of dollars are handicapped
by the present lac of river transporta-
ton in the upper Delaware, and the
opening of the channel, it Is believed,
will result in the development of other
manufacturing plants on boil the Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania shores, where all
other facilities for their operation are
excellent. This vicinity would then be-
come one of the greatest manufacture
ing centres of the country.
A remarkable feature of the situation
is that communities and business In
terests are pinning little hope in as
sistance from their Congressional rep-
resentatiyes. Although Congressman
John j. Gardner, representative of the
Second district, is invited to the Tren-
ton conference, his previous attitude
as to the railroads on similar mat
ters has relieved any doubt in the
minds of his constituents as to whether
they can expect his aid in the move
that, if successful, will revolutionize
the Delaware valley.
Lack of reliance in Congressional
representatives is to be fully overcome
by the strength and breadth of the pro-
test against further dilly-dallying with
a project that has become vital to the
commercial interests of every city and
town between Philadelphia and Tren-
ton. Not a stone is being left unturned
that might a chance of adding
impetus to the movement, and mayors
and civic bodies of the communities
most interested are prepared to carry
their demands to the very DOR of the
White House if necessary. Mayor Rue,
of Burlington, a sturdy deeper-channel
advocate, is organizing a representa-
tive delegation from Burlington city
and vicinity to press its claims at the
Trenton conference.

COMELY GIRL KILLED

Smart" and Laughed at His
Attentions

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-John Ficht-
Der, an itinerant baker. shot and killed
Johanna Hoefer yesterday in the
bakery at SCI Tenth VENUE, where
she was employed. and hen wounded
himself fatally with the same weapon.
He died shortly after five o'clock yes
terday afternoon in the Roosevelt Hos

The persistent refusal Of the girl,
who was comely and only 2 years old.
to accept his love making, which be-
gan three years ago when Fichtner
was in the employ of Carl Ffescher,
the proprietor of h bakery, was the
cause of the murder. According to
Mrs. Fiescher, a cousin of the dead
girl, to whom she had given a home,
Fichtner was not smart" and Jo-
hanna was not interested in him. She
laughed at his attentions.
