 At first he thought he had surprised a sleeper, but as the figure did not move he decided it must be a corpse.
 He would have lied but for his need of this corner. He bent down. The man was bound hand and foot. In the mouth a gag was fastened, Neck and ankles were tied to spikes in the wall. At

AUTO|STS WILL
BUILD ROAD ON
FRIENDLY PLAN
Greenwood Lake Folk to Hold
Working Bee Septem-
Der 2 and 3.

Rome was not built in day. but
natives of the Greenwood Lake dis
trict expect with the help of adher-
ents of good roads throughout the
State to put in proper shape section
of road on the west shore of Green
wood lake, running partly in New
York State and New Jersey, consist
ing of several miles, in two days. The
time set for the road building is Sep
tember and 8. Appeal for help in
putting this road into proper con-
dition for automobile travel has
extended throughout every section of
Northern New Jersey. 1t is probable
that delegation from the New Jer-
sey Automobile and Motor Club Will
assist in the road building bee.
Although road building is laborious
work, the committee of energetic ma
tives who are planning this unique
way of offsetting the lack of funds
necessary to build the road has ar
ranged for the hospitable entertain
ment of all who assist. Plenty of
well-cooked country food will be pro-
vided by the women folk of Green
wood Lake section. The advertise
ment for assistance requests the serv-
ices of doctors of medicine and di-
vinity to be on hand-the former to
render first aid to lame backs and
bruised hands, and the other to ad-
minister last rites to those who may
work themselves to death.
1t Is estimated that several hum
dreds of people, including many
automobilists from different parts of
Northern New Jersey who admire
the spunk of Greenwood Lake natives
in planning to improve their own
road, will contribute personal service
to this worthy project. Sections of
the road on the New Jersey and New
York sides of the west shore of the
lake have been completed, but there
still remains a portion in the center
not fit for travel. The residents have
not the means whereby to have this
portion of the road repaired, and con-
sequently have planned this work
fest to be accompanied by general
good time and plenty of refreshment.
Many will help in building the road
for the novelty of the thing.
On it's posters the committee In
charge requests property-owners res
idents and everyone" to set aside
September 2 and 3-to give up busi-
ness and pleasure and come and help
repair and remake the West Side
Lake road. "Show what you can do
In two days" is the slogan.
The plea for helpers states: Work
yourself and bring your men SER
wants. Teams, dynamite or anything
else needful is solicited. Women will
organize themselves to see that the
hungry are fed and the thirsty re-
ceive drink"
The New Jerseyites In charge of ar
rangements are John J. Hopper,
William Stalter, w. G. Fox and
Charles P. Rogers. The New York
State men, who live just over the
State line, assisting the above named
are A. B. Dalbec, P. J. Murray, j..

Local Motorists
VIII Take Trip
To Beach Haven

Newark motorists and other New
arkers who are not motorists will
take a trip to Beach Haven Saturday
September H. for the carnival and
automobile parade, which will be held
there under the direction of the
Beach Haven Board of Trade. Hor-
ace A. Bonnell, of the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor Club, is
arranging for one party to make the
trip by motor and there is also talk
of making the place the destination
point for some of the old Essex Au-
tomobile Club, who held a series of
club runs before the amalgamation
of the two local clubs.
The Newarkers are going down
upon the invitation of w. r. Nowlan,
of the Ocean County Automobile
Club, who is one of the prime boost
ers" for the affair, and they may do
little missionary work for the State
organization. Club enthusiasm is very
keen among the Ocean county motor
lists, as they have a new club, or
ganized only two and a half months
ago, but very husky for a youngster,
as 1t has q membership of 23S. The
club is the youngest and furtherest
one south in the State. State Senator
Thomas A. Matthias and Assembly
man David G. Conrad of Ocean. are
two of the most active members of
the new body.
1--WE would like to see you North
Jersey automobilists come down to
Beach Haven and visit u.s." Is the
way Mr.. Nowland put the invitation.
''If you do we will treat you royalty"
he continued. I'VE have changed our
mind down this way anent the auto
mobile, and we want the motorists
now, as we know that the motor car
people are the salvation of our farm
ers and Our resort keepers. We will
make you feel at home If you come.
There will be O. parade and there are
two fine new hotels here for you to
spend Saturday night in. We are
going, to have a motor boat carnival
! on Barnegat Bay and dancing, which
will please the ladies'. You couldn't
find better place"
1t is needless to say that there was
! no holding out against this invita-
ton, and the group of Newarkers
who were at Port -Au-Peck last Tues
day couldn't say anything but "Yes."
| The Ocean County Club had the
| largest single club representation at
| the Port-Au-Peck meeting. Besides
Mr.. Nowland. Senator Matthias and
Assemblyman Conrad, there were
| present Sheriff Alfred w. Brown,
Harry 7. Hagaman, J. f. Stephenson
M. r. McKelvey and ]. G. Holman.

once levied. Secretary voorhees,, Of
the,,Associated Automobile Clubs, de-
clared> at the Port-au- Peck meeting
that while people who had no chill
dren were benefited by schools in va
rious ways, so do people who don't
own automobiles benefit by automo-
biles This would be the case par
ticularly with people who ride In jtt-
news and other kinds of auto buses
and taxicabs, althouh not automobile
owners.
While awaiting a change In the
automobile laws the motorists are
going to make an effort to have more
of a say in where the road moneys
are spent. It Is the money they pay
In car licenses, and they believe that
the scout" system which was sug-
gested at the Port-au-Peck gathering
would be a big aid. This is to name
representatives from each club, the
appointments to be made in view OF
the mems knowledge of road work
These men woold receive reports
from the various club members and
then each month they would meet
with the State road commissioner at
Trenton and report conditions to him,
making suggestions as to repairs and
where they should be made.
Benefit from Good Roads.
That the roads throughout New
Jersey are deteriorating and 1re far
inferior to the roads throughout New
York State, thus inducing New Jer-
sey motorists to patronize New York
State summer resorts, was state
ment made by II. A. Bonnell, chair
man of the good roads committee of
the Associated Automobile Clubs of
New Jersey, today.
Everyone at the present time Is
interested in the matter of good
roads throughout the State, a. good
roads are beneficial, not only to the
owners of automobiles, but to every
enterprise in the State, and especially
to the farmer" Mr.. Bonnell said.
Good roads from Newark TO the
seashore resorts would mean that at
least 100000 automobilists would
make the trip to the shore during
week ENDS throughout the summer.
Every person would spend on an
average of IS, which would total a
million dollars In season, the great
or per cent. of which would be for
food and accommodations, and would
thus enrich the New Jersey farmers.
Owing to poor roads the shore re-
sorts in the vicinity of Asbury Park
have not been as well patronized this
summer as heretofore. This means
that farmers are not selling as much
vegetables at the summer resorts and
should therefore take an active part
in the campaign for better roads.
United States statistics show that
Il costs twenty-three cents per ton per
mile to haul goods over poor roads,
whereas with improved roads the cost
is but eight cents per ton per mile.
Farmers and legislators are pri-
marily benefited by good roads, for
good roads are the backbone in the
growth and success of municipalities
throughout the State and should
give their unanimous support in pre-
pairing ways and means for the proper
maintenance of roads. Good roads
are not only "a question of making
riding pleasant for motorists, but
careful study will show that the
lbeneflts are far-reaching."

Jitney Men Plan a
$4,000 Bonding Concern

That marked progress was made
by the Board of Works in the way of
putting the jitney business on a
proper basis regarding the safety of
the public is the opinion of w. r.
Kellett, president of the Jitney Sery-
ice Association.
I'VE do not intend to have the jit-
ney business killed by the city ex-
acting heavy bonds, which would
naturally be supplied by some of the
surety companies or private indi-
viduals, and which would entail ex-
pense altogether too large for the
average jitney owner. Hence the
reason for the formation Of the
Mutual Liability Association by the
jitney men for the purpose of band
ing themselves together and supply
ing the necessary indemnity de-
manded by the ordinance. A fund OF
at least $4,000 will be created which
the jitney men win pay in Install
