CONTINUED from page IL

The moral obligations Of the citf-
zen are positive and call for a man
to be something, to be a real force
for good and progress in the COM
munity. In childhood he had been
taught the plus, the minus and the
zero signs in the arithmetic He at
first thought these same signs repre-
sented men but he found no man
could be zero. He must be either
a plus or a minus. He asked the
men to question themselves which
one of these signs should be placed
before their names. Determine
whether you are an asset or a La
bility to your community.
If conditions do not improve they
go backward. There is no such
thing as a stand patter. We are
either progressives or reactionaries.
The progressive does things while
! the conservative hesitates and
things go on. So let us be boosters,
not knockers. If opportunity comes
! for progress in your community
boost it into success. The most i'm
portant obligation upon the citizen
is to make something of
/ himself. All his efforts to
improve his community are useless
unless he can improve himself. We
are apt to overlook the Importance
of right living in the individual and
of individual success in our enthus-
iasm for the community but real
progress is an individual progress.
He closed his address with a poem.
| The speaker was given a great
ovation as he closed his mastery

Lackawanna, Erie and McAdo0
Roads Have to Contend with
Mysterious Foe.
AN UNKNOWN CHEMICAL

tity Puzzles Experts.

JERSEY CITY, April 10.-The cement
work on the new Lackawanna. the
hudson and Manhattan railroad tun-
iels and the walls of the open cut of
he Erie railroad through Bergen Hill
ire slowly dropping away because of
NE existence of some chemical in the
pock which is slowly causing a disinte-
yration. The exact cause of the disin-
egration has not been learned. but
chemists for the various companies
have run down several theories and
lave come to the conclusion that it
must be some unknown chemical that
g responsible.
The Lackawanna tunnel, where the
l-isintegration of the reinforced con-
crete was first noticed, wes built in
1907. 1t is the Oldest of the modern
tunnels under the lower end of the
Palisades. The tunnel extends from
twentieth street and Monmouth street,
Jersey City, to west of the Hudson
County boulevard. a distance of three
quarters of a mile. The concrete in
his tunnel is some two feet thick. The
effects of the chemical were first no
iced on the surface in small cracks and
swells.
The new Erie cut through the Pail
sades runs close To the Lackawanna
tunnel, starting at Twelfth and Divi-
sion streets, Jersey City, and running
Tor three-quarters of a mile TO almost
the same spot where the Backawanna
tunnel terminates. The evidences Of
disintegration in this cut are all on the
bottom and on the side walls, thus
causing less damage and danger than
if they had occurred in the arches
which hold up streets and which in
some instances are 800 feet long.
AS for the McAdoo tubes. the latest
of the tunnels to be built near the Pail
sades, they have so far shown the least
evidence of disintegration. This is only
noticeable in the half-mile stretch of
the tunnels lying parallel TO the Hudson
river and directly behind the Erie cut
and the Lackawanna tunnel Specula-
ton and Investigation as to the cause
of the disintegration have been going
on for more han a year. Many theo-
ries have been ~propounded n some

SNYDER'S DEATH

was found last Sunday dead in a bath
tub in his home. $50 St. Nicholas W.

breast. the authorities today admit
was arrested in connection with his
death is practically hopeless.
Although the woman was subjected
to a searching inquiry on three differ
ent occasions Immediately after the
finding of the body her inquisitors
have been unable to shake her strange
story as to how Snyder met his death
and have been unable to establish any
motive which could have prompted her
to kill the man.
In the Tombs yesterday, the woman,
Mary Karn, or Mary Snyder, as she
calls herself, received her brother,
Samuel Karn. and the lawyer her
family had engaged in her behalf. She
was cool and collected and went over
her case in every phase with the two.
She repeated substantially the same
story she told Sunday night.
Maurice Meyer, an attorney, has
been retained by wire by Mrs. Bertha
Yeager Snyder, the Detroit wife of the
dead man, to obtain for her her hus-
bands diamonds, ace horses and au-
tomobiles." AS far as those friendly to
Snyder ever knew, he never was in
the possession of such property. The
woman in the Tombs laughed when
she heard that Snyder's estate was
valued by the Detroit woman al
1926, 900.
"Why Walter did not have a cent C
his name when he died" she said.

COLLECTION
TO Be AUCT|ONEO

The extensive collection of eurios,
antiques, oriental rugs, rarer paint
ing and novelties. the collection of over
thirty years of George j. Stanford,
has been appraised by Adolf Green
field and will go under the hammer at
the Stanford home, 81 Burnet street, ON
| Thursday. The collection includes
many pieces that were used by or were
in the possession of royal families of
Europe, and many of the specimens
are the only ones of their kind in exist
ence.
One of the most valued pieces in the
collection is a plate which was original
ly the property Of Prince Ludwig of
Bulgaria, who committed suicide by
leaping into Lake Vierwaldstaedter.
on the face of the plate is the pic
ture of the lake. painted by Prince
Ludwig, in his youth. The prince
painted many of the Ludwig plates
used in mis- household, but the plate
in the Stanford collection is the only
one known on which he painted the
picture of the AXE in which he was
later drowned.
There are also ten plates which were
formerly the property of Nicholas l.,
who was car of Russia during the lat
ter part of the seventeenth century.
The plates are valued at $500 a dozen
and are more than 300 years old.
One of the rugs in the collection
shows a fac-simile of the Mosque of st.
Sophia, the sacred temple of the Mo
hammedans. 1t required more han ten
years for an entire family of six Per-
slams to complete the rug. Along with
the rug is what is now as the Pray
ing Mat"
On either side of one end of the
Praying Mat" is woven two human
hands, on which the Mohammedans fall
when their priest is in the mosque or
temple, and knock their heads against
the ground as a token of worship. A

eWSpaperme
Write a Play

HOBoKEN, April 10.-Newspaper
plays of various descriptions have been
written from time to time during re-
cent years. but not sone of them has
ever truthfully represented the news
paper to the public. Ordinarily, the
newspaper is depicted as a blackmail-
ing instrument, or with a set of prin-
eiples to be bought by the highest bid
der.
At the Gayety Theatre during the
week of Apfl Is a genuine and truthful
newspaper play will be offered in 1.-THE
Searchlight," which Will then have its
initial production on any stage.
"The S~earchlight' represents the
newspaper as a s%earchlight on public
events. 1t holds that newspapers are
more often honest than dishonest; that
the principles and policies of the aver
age newspaper are not for sale. and
that the editors are not to be subsidized
by the big interests or bribed by cor
rupt political grafters.
1.-THE Searchlight" is the work of two
newspaper men of wide experience
Marvin A. Riley, dramatic editor of
the Trenton Times, of Trenton, N. j.,
and Walter Fox Allen, formerly city
editor on the same paper.
The play is in four acts. The scene
of the first act is in the private resi-
dence of a trolley magnate; the sec
ond act takes place in the editorial
room of a newspaper such as would be
found in any city of 10o,0 coo Inhabitants,
and the third and fourth acts are
placed in the rooms of the managing
editor.
The newspaper advocates h pro-
gressive principles of Roosevelt, La
Toilette, Wilson and others.
Hoboken theatregoers can be assured
of a perfect production of a play that
has every promise of winning a wide
spread popularity.
