Electric Cranes
Do Great Work

The system of electric cranes
mounted on towering steel frames be-
tween the ways is used here instead of
the stationary derrick towers with
numerous hooks that are in use at Hog
Island and Newark. The effect of these
long rows of gigantic steel structures
is very imposing.
Four ways have keels in progress
Two more are complete and waiting for
keels, two will be ready next week and
the remaining four by the 18th of June,
but all could now be in use if the steel
were at hand
The first launching IS due the last
week in June. The first completed ship
will be delivered one month later
Thereafter the big ships are expected
to steam down the Delaware and out to

This Passover
Saddest of All
For N. Y. Jews
Absence of Sons at War
Casts Shadow on

New York Jews are preparing for
the saddcst Passover in the history Of
their faith in this city.
There will be an unprecedented COM
mlngling of smiles and tears in thou
sands Of homes when families sit down
to their first Sedar night feast on
Wednesday evening.
The event, traditionally a jubilation
over the deliverance of the chosen
people from Egyptian bondage, will
have a new source of qualification in
the celebration of the wrestling of
Palestine from the arch-enemy.
But upon the whole festival falls
the black shadow of war. Jewish Gus
toms formerly have caused sons to
travel far to be With the head of the
house on Sedar night. Hundreds Of
the sons are in khaki now, fighting q
fight for which their ancestors fought.
Then there is the question of the
unfortunate poor among the Jews, to
whom mirth and revelry are mockery.
Yesterday Albert Kruger, executive
director Of the Maskel Ell Bol (Aid Of
the Poor, at 225 East Broadway, dis
tributed 10000 pounds of matzoths,
the unleavened bread of the faithful
to more than $500 needy families,
most of whom ascribe their plight to
the war. He also gave them 5000
pounds of meat, 1000 pounds Of sugar
and $4,000 in cash, the biggest con-
tribution in history.
And institutions were not forgotten
John l.. Bernstein, president of the He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society, 229 East Broadway, an
nounced that more than thousand
perstns would be fed there on the first
Sedar night, when there will be SER
vices by Rabbi Bernard Siegel
And those Of the faith in khaki were
not forgotten. A generous supply of
matzoths has been sent to army can
tonmcnts for distribution by the jew
ish Welfare Board
At Sing Sing, DR.. Samuel Buchler
chaplain for Jewish prisoners, will con-
duct service Wednesday night.
Passover will extend over eight days
beginning Wednesday.
Matzoths symbolic the unleavened
bread the fugitives ate in their flight
Wine and good things to eat will be
served to symbolic the sweetness OF
liberty, and the bitter herb will not
be forgotten. 1t symbolizes the bit
.terness of slavery, and all good Jews
partake of it as a reminder of the
sufferings of the forebears.
Special services will be held in all
the synagogues of the city during the
festival.

Corporation's pledge of its will and
ability to do things speedily.

The Merchant. controlled by the Har-

great government fabricated ship
plants. The corporation also owns the
Chester Shipbuilding Company, long
established yard on the Delaware be-
low Philadelphia. The government
plant is at Bristol, on the Delaware,
about twenty miles north of Phla-
deIphia. The corporation has con-
tract along the same lines as that of
the American International or the Sub
marine Boat Corporation, for the build
ing of sixty ships for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. These ships are of
1000 tons dead weight as against 5000
and $500 for the international and
5000 for the Submarine.
The Merchant was somewhat facili-
tated in its operations at the start by
reason of the fact that it took over
the large manufacturing plant of the
Crandall Pipe Company. This gave it
q large machine shop, foundry, cleo
trio power plant, and considerable
other equipment to start with. Ad-
ditions have been made to the machine
shop, so it is now some 1900 feet long
and almost entirely equipped with ma
chine tools, cranes, etc. Of course
there has been vast amount of other
preparatory work.

the twenty-eight at Newark, it is very
spacious yard as yards were measured
before the war; and as the corporation
has seven berths at Chester it has

NEWS OF VIRGINIA
NORFOLK STARTS SATURDAY
NIGHT POLICE COURT

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 2s.--An innova-
ton in court circles, throwing an in
teresting sidelight on the growth OF
this city. is the night police court
which Police Justice w l.. stephens
is going to institute on Saturday
nights opening at 3 o'clock and run
ming until midnight This Saturday
night court will serve two purposes,
the first being that it will in some
measure clear the dockets of Mon
day morning. The second purpose
will be to send all prisoners convict
ed to Jail Saturday night instead Of
holding them in the cells at the vari-
Gus police stations until Monday
m orning.
Up until yeterday 1t had been the
custom to send all prisoners in the
police station cells to the Jail over
Sunday Those prisoners would then
be brought back to the courtroom
Monday morning from the Jail to
stand trial.
The Jail authorities, however, un-
der orders from the state auditor,
had to stop this procedure, as the
auditor stated that there was no fund
whereby these prisoners could be fed
until they had been convicted OF a
state offense. Judge w. L. Stephens
was Informed of this ruling by City
Sergeant w. Fl. Hannah, and the po-
lice Justice, therefore. Saturday night
refused to issue any rfittimus for the
sending OF prisoners to Jail until
Monday morning.
This put new proposition up to
the police sergeants in charge of the
prisoners yesterday. however; for
even though person is under arrest
and confined in a bare cell he has
to eat. Nearby restaurants were
called upon by the various police sta
tons and the prisoners were fed at
a lost of about twenty five cents per
meal per person. Fhe exact cost of
feeding the prisoners for one day
could not be ascertained this morn
ing, but it was around the $40 mark.
The Saturday night court OF Police
Justice Stephens will relieve this
situation. considerably and not so
many persons will be left to languish
In the police station cells over Sun
day hereafter
