McAdoo Discusses Railroad
Problems With the Advisory
Board TwoAfter-War Plans
Are Offered As Solution


Washington, Dec. "a new d.
rector general of railroads to succeed
William G. McAdoo may not be named
for two weeks of more, 1t was said
today. The resignation of Robert s.
Lovett as director of the railroad ad-
ministration's division of caDltal ex-
penditures, announced today and ms
insistence on going back TO his ola
duties as chairman of the executive
committee of the Union Pacitlc, was
considered as having left Mr.. McAdoo
without candidate Immediately at
hand to recommend to President VIII
SON 1t was stated authorltativeiy
that the director general is looking
about for men whom he may propose,
and it is considered probable that
some one outside the railroads admin
istration staff will be chosen.
Confcrs With Advisers.
Mr.. McAdco today conferred with
his advisory staff of the railroad ad-
ministration concerning proposed
plans for supervising railroads when
they are turned back to private man
agement Two different plans are
understood to have developed among
his advisers. One proposal is TO nave
the railroads merge into regional
groups, with common operating man
agement to start and eventually 10
develop into common ownership, with
the roads themselves selecting their
regional homogeneous in which the
government would be represented.
Another plan Suggested.
The other plan put forth IS for the
roads to operate individually and pri-
| CnryIpp hllt
under the supervision of a govern
ment agency, to be known perhaps as
the department of transportation
headed by a cabinet member. TIC
this agency would be left largely tho
question of making proper rates ad'
ministering the common use, of termi'
nails and pooling of cars, and to
certain extent the routing of freigh
traffic. Both plans would propose
government supervision of railroad
security issues.

AUT0SC CRASH
Army Auto From Camp Raritan
Causes Injury to Local Man
in Accident Tuesday

There were several automobile acci-
dents in this city over the Christmas
holiday but only one that resulted
seriously. In this case a man was
badly hurt and will be confined to his
home for several days under the care
of doctor.
As Clarence Tangaard of Madison
avenue was driving an automobile
along New Brunswick avenue near
Prospect street Tuesday evening about
7:16 o'clock, an army automobile
from Camp Raritan, In charge OF
Thomas /. Hickman, came along and
crashed into the machine driven by
Tangaard.
John F. Tangaard, father of Clar-
ence Tangaard. who was riding with
his son was badly injured in the crash
and both machines were so badly dam
aged that 1t was necessary to tow them
to garage.
A number of people who were pass
ing at the time rushed to the aid of
Tangaard and he was taken to the Of
fee of DR.. M. s. Meinzer on Madison
avenue, where 1t was found that he
had been badly hurt.
He was given medical attendance
and then taken to his home where to-
a long time before he Is able to get
around again.
People who witnessed the accident
say that Clarence Tangaard was not to
blame as he had the right of way and
that the army car crashed into his and
that the fault was with Hickman.
While Peter Kroeger, according to
a report made by Patrolman Christie
pherson was turning into Hobart stree
from Smith street on Tuesday after
noon his car skidded Just as a child
stepped off the curb onto the cross
walk. The car was about to strike her
when Kroeger put his arm out and
gave the child a shove out OF the way
and the mud guard just touched her,
thus avoiding a serious accident.
A big truck on the way from this
city to New Brunswick skidded in the

ROLL CALL OPEN
UNTIL SATURDAY
But 5000 Members Here and
Memberships Will be Received
for Rest of Week

The roll has been called-the roll
of the American Red Cross-and
when Perth Amboy's name was read
the answer was 5000 members.
This is far behind the results ex-
pected from this city. When the
campaign was commenced it was an
nounced that every community was
expected to secure a membership OF
one hundred per cent, that is to have
every man, woman and child enrolled
for 1919. Reckoning on a basis of a
population of $4,000 people in this
city. Perth Amboy has only twenty
per cent. of her citizens enrolled as
members of the Red Cross for next
year.
The drive officially closed on
Christmas eve but it has been decid-
ed to extend the time for receiving
members until the end of this week,
and the various booths will remain
open for that purpose.
Albert Leon, general chairman of
the drive in this city, announced this
morning that the roll call headquar-
ters in the Boynton Building would
be open today and from 8 to z this
evening. He wishes that all captains
would turn In the reports of their
work rup to the present time, SO that
an accurate account may be made of
the actual number of members that
were secured in this city.
Mr.. Leon also makes an urgent re-
quest that all who have not yet paid
their dollar and become members of
the organization will go to one of the
booths or TO headquarters and take
out their membership for 1919. He
does not want Perth Amboy to fall
down on this drive.
The large membership totals from
the factories, which were expected to
greatly swell the grand total, have
not yet been turned in, and 1t has
been reported that some of the indus
tries will not bring in their results
until the end of the week. From
actual cash turned in at headquarters
a little over 5000 people have Joined
the Red Cross from this city.
The final report will be announced
some time In the forepart of next
week. since 1t has been decided to re-
ceive memberships for a longer
period than was allotted.
