EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
AS a firm believer in the prosper
ity and the commercial growth OF
the State Of New Jersey, l am thor
oughly impressed with the import
ance of developing the waterways Of
Raritan bay, Staten Island sound,
Newark Bay and the Kill Won Kull.
These constitute very important
part of the harbor of New York, and
the communities located on this
waterway are a part of the metro
poltan district of New York. De-
velopment of these waterways is a
development Of the port Of New
York.
You have asked my views In re-
gard to the deepening and widening
of the channel through the Raritan
bay, Staten Island sound and Kill
Won Kull. The answer to that S
shown in the remarkable increase In
the last few years in the use OF these
waterways for the transportation OF
freights, and the amount of money
that has been invested by manufac-
turers in securing locations fronting
upon these channels.
Speaking particularly for Bayonne
and the newark Day section, II Is
evident that whatever improvement
of these channels is made cannot but
add to the value of the whole terri
tory.
1t is difficult to estimate what in
crease in tonnage will result from
the increased depth of water that ts
proposed, but in view of the large
use that is now. made of these water
ways, and the fact that many deep
draft vessels are compelled to unload
part Of their cargo before reaching
the wharves of the industries to
which they are consigned, shows an
immediate necessity for the proposed
expenditure of moneys for this pur-
pose and is argument, sufficient In
my mind to demonstrate that other
manufacturers, If assured of the in
creased depth and width of the wa
terways would be induced to locate
their plants here.
When one concern will spend half
a million of dollars In the purchase
of a location along the Staten Island

WOMAN'S CLUB
GUESTS HEAR
DR.. S. S. WISE
Annual Event of Club Was
Held in Presbyterian
Chapel Last Night.
TOPIC WAS CIVIC RELIGION

With "Civic Religion" as his sub
ject DR.. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of
Free Synagogue, of New York, and
one Of the most talented speakers of
the metropolis, gave a pleasing and
forceful address at the annual guest
night meeting of the Woman's Club
In the Presbyterian chapel last night.
The occasion marked the climax OF
the social season here and won fresh
laurels for the organization under
whose auspices 1t was held. AS was
so pleasantly stated by Mrs. William
H. Bawden, president OF the club, In
welcoming the guests, the Woman's
Club has now firmly established it
self as an institution in the city and
the guests night feature has come to
be anticipated with great deal of
pleasure. Last night the event ex-
ceeded, II possible. all previous ef-
forts. The club has not only demon
strated Its ability to do things in the
civic life OF the city. but has proven
itself to be a great social factor as
! we'll.
The chapel had been beautifully
decorated In lavender and white. the
club colors, with wistaria, the clubs
| flower, gracefully entwined over a
white lattice that hid the two large
windows on the opposite sides of the
room. Streamers of lavender and
white crepe paper hung from the
corners festooning at the center of
| the ceiling. Guttman's orchestra
[ hidden away in the forward part of
the room, discoursed sweet music,
while the social side of the evening
was being enjoyed.
AS the members and the guests
entered they were met at the door by
ushers, who escorted them to the
receiving line at the head of which
stood the clubs president, Mrs. Will
| liam H. Bawden. Others who re-
ceived were Mrs. Charles R. Fletch-
er, the former president, now Of
Chester, Mass, Mrs. Wise and Rabbi
Wise, of New York, and Miss Mary
| e. Vaughan, vice president of the
club.
Mrs. Bawden, after calling the as
semblage to order, called upon Mrs.
Charles r. Fletcher, stating that
during the year the club had met
! with a great loss, but that it was
better to have known her and lost
her, than not to have known her at
| all, for had the club not known her
there would have been no club at all.
Mrs. Fletcher spoke In her own
charming manner and was greeted
with an ovation by the members and
the guests.
| Rabbi Wise was then introduced
and for forty minutes or more he
held his audience while he eloquent
ly described the sore spots in our
body polite, the greatest Of which,
he declared, was municipal govern
ment. He unfolded in a convincing
way our civic duty. Witticisms,
sarcasm, satire and plain facts
straight from the shoulder were
handled in a mastery style, driving

The new council organized last
night with Henry w. Sandbeck, Jr.,
as Its presiding officer pro tenn. 1t
is the understanding that he is to
serve in that capacity until the next
general election. Committees were
named for the year. Democratic
members were placed at the head
and in control of all the important
committees. Alderman F. A. Seaman
was again favored with the chair
manship of the streets and sewers
committee. He and Alderman John
J. Clark battled in committee session
over the selection Of committees.
1t is understood that Alderman
Henry W. Sandbeck, Jr., was eager
to become chairman of the fire com
mittee. He was vigorously opposed
and as compromise his name was
placed at the head of the committee
on puDnc grounds and buildings.
This act, 1t appears, met with the
dlsapproval of Mr.. Clark. The name
of Mr.. Sandbeck was replaced by
that of Mr.. Clark at the head of that

give her medical aid Mr.. Fedak un-
til noon time had not learned of the
accident. He was in Perth Amboy

The large saloon bar had been
removed from an old saloon owned
by Mr.. Fedak into the yard of the
building where the little lad was
playing this morning. 1t is believed
that the boy must have stepped on
the railing and caused the bar to
fall on top of him.

Trenton, Jan. THE State Board
of Public Utility commissioners an
nounced today that the Public Ser
vice Gas Company will put in force
May /, next, a ninety cent rate of
gas all over the state. This action
follows the recent decision of the
state board fixing the rate at ninety
cents per thousand cubic feet for the
Passaic district and recommending
the same rate for the rest Of the
state.
The new Passaic district rate
takes effect February 1, but as it

The robbery was evidently perpe-
trated by someone who knew of the
actions of the Cristiani family. The
thief must have known that the oc-
cupants were going to the Warren
House and watched for them. The
remarkable feature, however, is that
Mr.. and Mrs. Cristiani had been
dining regularly at the Warren
house until about week ago. They
decided to take their meals at home.
Last night proved an exception and
they left for the Warren House about
$40 o'clock.

the candidates backed by the gov

chairman of the Democratic State
