CAREFUL LOT ARE
JERSEYS PILOTS
Annual Report Shows Not a
Single Serious Accident Dur
ing the Past Year.
Especial TO the Newark star.I

TRENTON, Nov. 29.-That the pilot
service was maintained during the
past year at n standard of excellence
that cannot be surpassed is the key
note of the annual report of the COM
missioners of pilotage filed with Act
ing Governor Taylor today.
The report says not a serious acct
dent of any kind has occurred in the
service during the year. Complaints
against pilots were few and of a
minor character. In each case the
pilot was exonerated. The New Jer-
sey commissioners, in conjunction
with the New York Board of Pilot
Commissioners, inspected the inn
proved Ambrose channel, and viewed
the various improvements for better
harbor facilities under way in the
Kill Won Kull and Raritan rivers.
The commissioners have taken a
lively interest in all matters pertain
ing to the development of inland
waterfalls and rendered service when
ever possible to assist in this most i'm
portant matter. The total receipts
from the pilotage fees for the year
were 1928 ,006.56.

PIER DISPUTE TO
Be THRESHED OUT
Secretary Garrison's Hint for
Improvement May Be Basis Of
Washington Hearing.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 29.-Secretary
of War Lindley M. Garrison made a
trip along both shores of the Hudson
on the police boat Patrol yesterday
afternoon to look into the merits Of
a dispute between the New York har-
Dor line board, composed of army en-
gineers, and the New Jersey harbor
commission, concerning their respect
i've proposals for new pierhead line
on the Jersey side between Weehtwk
en- and Fort Lee.
AS the plan of the Federal botrd
carries thep ierhead line nearer the
shore south from Guttenburg a pro-,
test has been made by New Jersey
land owners who hold riparian grants
bought from the State. These owners
include railroads and other corpora
tions who hold all the New Jersey
waterfront except two municipal
docks between Fort Lee and the Kill
van Kull. Jersey City has one, the
Morgan street pier, and Edgewater,
the wealthiest borough for its size IN
the country, owns the other.
AS more than one corporation has
included it's riparian lands In assets
on which bond issues have been
fioated, there is uneasiness. If the
proposal of the Federal board is
adopted New Jerseys ability to give
a clear title to these riparian lands
may be questioned.
The proposed line is about seventy
feet inshore from the existing line OPP
posite Thirtieth street, New York,
eighty feet inshore opposite Fifty
third street, or West Shore Ferry;
100 feet inshore at Seventy-third
street, or the New York, Ontario and
Western docks, and crosses the pres
ent pierhead line at Eighty sixth
street, thence running outshore OF the
present line until it is about 400 feet
outshore at Edgewater, or opposite
is45th street, New York.
The New Jersey harbor commits
sion's proposed line agrees with the
present line as far north as Gutten-
burg. which is opposite Seventy-ffth
street. New York, and then 1t is pro-
jected north into the river until there
would be q maximum extension of 300
feet of the present pierhead line at
Fort Lee.
Secretary Garrison studied maps
and listened to explanations by Col.
Black and President Smith of the
New Jersey harbor commission as to
how and why they differed.
Col. Black made it very clear that
the crux of the entire proposition as
far as the New York harbor line board
was concerned was that the board de-
sired to preserve a 3,000-foot fairway
between the pierhead lines and to keep
the lines as straight as possible.
Secretary Garrison wanted to know
l. it wouldn't be possible to push the
line in fifty feet or so opposite River
side Drive, New York, where there
probably viii be no commercial in
roads and extend the line fifty feet or
so on the New Jersey side OF the river.
Col. Black said that he would have
maps drawn embracing the lines sug-
gested In time for hearing In Wash
ington next Wednesday,. when the
whole matter win be argued.

Rv dixie WELLINGTON.

The millennium must be nearly here.
The Board of Freeholders started a
regular meeting yesterday almost on
time. That is it was only ten min
utes after when Director Walter
A. Evans called the meeting to order,
that being only ten minutes after the
scheduled time.
But in order to call the meeting to
order at that time the director was
forced to do SO with three Democratic
and two Republican members present.
AS Mr.. Evans looked toward John
Fl. Waters, Fred c. Steck and Emmett
j. Quinn, the three Democratic men,
bers, and then at Ernest e. Ryman
and Richard f. Malta, the only two
Republicans present beside the d.
rector, Mr.. Evans smllingly remarked
to Minority Leader Waters, Now is
the time for you to pull something
over"
But the Democrats did not get a
chance for before the routine busi-
ness had been disposed of Freebooter
August J.. Lacombe came in and made
the count three Democrats and three
Republicans.
Seriously speaking the schedules of
meeting times OF the Board of Free
holders and its committees Is almost
as much of a joke as an Erie Rail-
road time table. With the exception
of the committee on roads and assess
ments which as general rule meets
promptly on the scheduled time every
other Monday none of the committees,
or the board itself, makes any pre-
tense of meeting on time, much to the
detriment and disgust of citizens hav-
ing business to do with the board.
The finance committee, probably the
most important committee of the
whole lot, Is the most fragrant breaker
of schedules. This committee is
scheduled to meet at 10 g. m. every
other Thursday, but is seldom IL ever
in session before noon. Persons hav-
ing business dealing with the financial
affairs of the county will appear al
the court house at 10 o'clock expecting
to find the finance committee ready
to go in session.
Instead they will find not q single
member of the committee present.
Along about half-past 10 the men,
bers commence to file in one by one
and generally just about the noon
hour manage to get in session after
those having business to do with the
committee have either become thor
oughly Disguised with the laxfty of
fNe board or else have tired waiting
Ind gone away leaving their business
untransacted.

LONDON. Nov. 29.-King George,
n not Queen Mary. is making an
especial point of being friendly with
the late King Edwards friends. At
a number of house parties, where the
names of guests are first submitted
to his majesty. It has been noticed
that many of those who figured
prominently In court circles In the
last reign are again to be found.
At the shooting party given by
viscount Iveagh at Elvendes for the
Mensdorff and the Marquis de Sow
eral, who were two of King Ed
wards closest friends, were among
the guests. They have the reputa-
ton of being two of the most enter
tanning men in society, and of course
are notable for perfectly fitting and
up-to-date clothes. Sir Derek and
Lady Keppel, Sir Ernest Cassell and
Leopold de Rothschild, the last two
King Edwards financial advisers,
and all close friends of the last court,
also were present. The members of
Nthe Guinness family, of which Lord
Iveagh is the head, are In favor with
the present sovereign as they were
with the last.
Suffragettes Active.
A number of suffragists. members
OF the various political parties, have
made an arrangement which, II 1t
can be successfully carried out, will
ensure majority for women's suff-
rage in the next Parliament.
They have concentrated in the hope
of arranging the organization of suf-
fragist electors in the constituencies
before the general election. The idea
Is that these electors should put "suf-
frage first In other words, that they
should inform the candidates that
their votes will be given In the interest
of women's suffrage. Lord Lytton
and Pethick Lawrence are both in
favor of the plan.
