A STATE CANAL INVESTIGATION.

Both of the canals in New Jersey are o owned by foreign corporations
and arr managed with an eye single to the interests of these owners Both the
Morris and the Raritan canals weree established under State charters, and
by aid of the State and Of landowners both did a good business while they
were under control of state corporations, and both were destroyed in their
usefulness to the state by the foreign railroad companies that secured posses
sion OF them for that identical purpose. The lessees Of the Morris Canal
have been trying for years to abandon the canal charter and take private
possession OF the canal property. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
owns tho Rartan Canal has railroad use for the property and doesn't seek
to abandon the charter. Neither canal under its present ownership is of any
use to the State, but is rather a detriuent to the State. &
The Legislature of 1906 appropriated $4,000 for proceedings by the at
torncy-general in a suit in equity to determine the rights of the State lin the
Morris Canal especially that immensely valuable part of it on he Hudson
River waterf front This suit is filed away somewhere in the archives of the
Court of Chaneery. Assembly joint resolution No l. introduced by Mr. Van
c1eef at this legislative session, asks for a special committee to ascertain all
the facts relating 20 the dsuse of the Rsrftan Canal specifies the public
injury done, and requires the encouragement to communicate such facts
as he may have to the Interstate Commerce Commission. with a request fol

whether there is discrimination The investigation should be broadened t
cover the Morris Canal m which the traffic has been destroyed by the
same methods The story OF canalwreckng in New Jersey should be told
and when it is fully told the people will see how deeply the State has been
wrongcd to aggrandze foreign railroad interests

Indiana Harbor Saloon Will
Bring Charges Against
Policeman.
| MUCH INTERESTED IN CASE
Public Sentiment Is With the City
0ficials-Trouble Started
Several Months Ago.
MUCH INTERESTED IN CASE
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Nov IS. - The
case against Steve Sherpotoski the
Guthrie street saloonkeeper now be-
ing tried in the superior court at Ham
mond, is one of particular interest to
the police forces of East Chicago and
the Harbor. Immediately following its
trial will come the prosecution of two
of the city's police officers, Weinfen-
bach and German, in suits praying for
the assessing of damages to the ex-
tent of $4,000 in either case.
The story told by the local police
officials is interesting. Sherpotoski is
charged with having embezzled some
5000 of the funds belonging to local
Slovenian society. 1t is for this Of
Tense that he himself is on trial, and
had it not been for an alteration with
an Indiana Harbor blacksmith, the
shortage in his accounts might never
have been made public.
One evening about two months ago
| the police department received a tele-
phone call to ''go at once to the Sher-
potoski saloon" as a big fight was in
progress. BY the time the two officers
arrived on the scene the fight was
over, the field of battle cleared and
| everyone in the saloon smiling as
though nothing extraordinary had hap
pened.
Sherpotoski denied that anyone had
4 telephoned for the police, although his
wife acknowledged that she had asked
/ for the police protection. This en-
ragged the saloonkeeper and he ordered
tn two policemen from his building
In the struggle that followed Sher.
potoski cut the flesh on one of hi.
arms by showing it through a plate
glass window. while Mrs. Sherpotosk
maintained that she had been strucl
by the officers.
The case has aroused intense inter
est here and in East Chicago, wher,
the two officers are well known. Thei
efficiency of the police force is un
doubted and the action of Mr. an,
Mrs. Sherpotoski censured by every
one connected in the case in anywa,
whatever. 1t is understood that tn
saloonkeeper has attempted the filinj
of suit against the city officials o.
other occasions, but has been advise
by his counsel that such action woul
: be useless. He is now represented b
) firm of Hammond lawyers.
