GRADE CROSSING j
REPORT IS MADE
Lackawanna Has Figures on
Cost of Proposed Elimina-
ton in East Orange.

City officials of East Orange are
daily expecting a reply from the
Lackawanna railroad relative to the
proposition of the railroad committee
of the City Council for "semi-depres-
SION as a solution of the grade
crossing problem. 1t has reached the
officials that the engineers for the
company have figured out the cost
of the work and that these figures
are now in the possession of Presi-
dent William H. Truesdale.
Exactly what the attitude of the
officials of the railroad is toward
the latest proposition of the city for
the elimination of the grade crossings
is problematie, but the city solons
believe the plan will be acceptable.
George J. Ray, chief engineer OF
the railroad, prepared the data for
submission to President Truesdale,
and his report is said to have con-
tanned much important information
of the scheme as 1t affects the Main
street crossing, considered the most
dangerous along the entire road.
Mr.. Ray. it is understood, recon-
mended adding to the right OF way
for the accommodation of a third
track on the south side of the present
rails as the best way to locate the
tracks at the junction" The city
officials desire the railroad to add
to its right of way on the north side.
If this is done Arlington place, which
is a Main street spur and parallels
the railroad between the crossing and
Arlington avenue. will have to be
vacated by the city.
The railroad will need new property
west to Walnut street also, and will
probably have to get 1t on the north
side at that point. From Walnut
street west to Harrison street 1t
owns some property on the south
side. but 1t is not thought IL, can
avoid encroaching also on the north
side. 8s
AS has been stated previously the
railroad will purchase such additional
land only as is needed for the extra
track. The land required to provide
the sloping banks will be bought and
held by the city. On the city prop
erty the railroad will be permitted to
lay It's temporary tracks for use
while the excavation is going on.

PLAYFUL taunts that were directed

STOWAWAY, JAILED
Former Arlington Man Ar
rested Aboard Liner in

writes poetry and who once eloped
with the wife of Upton Sinclair, was
given sentence of twenty-one days
at hard labor today for slowing her.
self away on board the steamship
Oceanic. The Oceanic arrived here
Saturday and Kept spent the night in
Jail. He will probably be deported
after he serves his term.
The poet shipped on board the
Oceanic as stowaway prior to the
steamships leaving New York. He
was without money. but, as he re-
marked, he had an irresistible desire
to see England. He had tried in vain
for an opportunity to work his way
across on a cattle vessel, and so
walked aboard the Oceanic. He sent
note to the captain confessing that
he was without funds and was put to
work as an assistant steward.
Kemp tried to land at Plymouth,
but the captain ordered him under ar
rest and will appear against him in
court.
Kemp was known as 1.-The Kansas
poet" and the tramp poet" acquired
some literary recognition as a writer
of verse while touring the United
States in "side-door Pullmans" in
company with hoboes and knights of
the road. He sang the praises of this
mode of existence in a series of
rhymes. Later he took up the cause
of Socialism and became a member of
the Adren colony in Delaware, of
which Upton Sinclair, novelist, was
one of the founders. There he became
popular with the artists, poets, au-
thors, socialists, philosophical an
archists and others who comprised the
community
About two years ago he eloped with
Mrs. Sinclair but the pair soon sep
arated. Kemp at the time of his
elopement remarked that he was "a
human butterfly, slipping the honey
from every flower without thought of
whose garden it grew in" Mrs SIN
clair denounced her husband as an
Essential monogamist."
Sinclair obtained q divorce. and
several months ago married for the
second time. A week ago, when he
returned from abroad with his bride,
notice was served upon him by his
fellow colonists at Arden that he was
no longer wanted as a member of that
community.
Before slowing away on the Oceanic
on September q, Kemp told his pur-
pose in an interview with some ship
news reporters. He said that his sole
capital was SO in cash, and his only
baggage a copy of Schentz's Anti
Pragmatism" and his own book of
verse, Judas"
Kemp lived in Arlington until a
few years ago.
