VICTORY LOAN
MEN GATHER
Resolution Submitted by Adrian
Lyon at the SeS-
sion

The following resolution relative to
the new Victory Loan. which is to be
launched by the treasury department
within the course of a few months,
was submitted by Adrian Lyon of this
city, a member of the executive COM
mittee of the New Jersey Bankers
Association, and adopted by that
committee when it met in Jersey City
Thursday.
Whereas the Treasury Department
is about to offer to the public another
loan, to be known as the Victory
Loan, and Liberty Bonds of earlier
issues are now selling on the market
much below par; and. the war being
over, much of the patriotic motives
which inspired subscriptions to the
former loans will be lacking;
Therefore, resolved that the Exec
utive Committee of the New Jersey
Bankers Association does hereby urge
| upon the secretary of the treasury
/ that the coming Dan be offered at a
rate of interest which shall meet the
market, and otherwise be attractive
as to taxation, maturity and other
features to both the small and large
investor.

A busy MAN"
But Seems to Be Interested
in Other Peoples
Business
Ru SpecinI Corrsspondent.

IN SHtttUN wv
MATAWAN, Jan. 25-Many people
of the borough have become greatly
agitated over the reported appearance
of a mar who seems to be interested
in other peoples business. This per-
son, of which the EVENING NEWS
reporter has as Yet been unable to
obtain a good description, has been
seen on various nights recently and
has ven gone so far as to follow peo-
pie, which is causing a feeling of I'M
rest in the borough.
The last reported appearance of the
person was about 1 o'clock Friday
morning, when he followed a man
from lower Main street up town.
After being annoyed by the fellow for
several blocks the person turned and
faced his pursuer, who ceased the an
noyance.
Matawan has always been consid-
cred a safe place to live in, but owing
to the escapade of this unknown per-
son a general feeling of uneasiness
exists. Women who have had occa-
sion to be out late at night, as well
as men, a felt safe on the streets
of the town, but in view of the fact
that several strange murders have
taken lace on the streets In various
parts OF New York recently, a fear
that all is not as II should be has
gripped the hearts of people in this
town, who will not feel safe until
the annoyance is stopped.
Whether or not the appearance of
the person has been reported to the
police is not known.

SENT|MENTFOR
TUNNEL GROWS
200 Citizens Gather at Bor-
ough Hall to Voice
Protests
~ Special Correspondent.

TOTTENVILLE, Jan. 25.-Two
hundred representative citizens of the
borough of Richmond gathered at
Borough Hall, st. George, last night
to- voice their sentiments in favor
of a tunnel from Staten Island to
connect with the great subway system
of the city of New York.
Louis l.. Tribus, a former commits
sioner of public work for the Dor
ough of Richmond, president of the
Staten Island Chamber of Commerce
presided, and called on Borough Pres
ident Calvin d. Van Name as the first
speaker of the evening.
Borough President Van Name out
lined the work that had already been
done with regard to q tunnel to con-
meet with Staten Island and said he
felt confident hat the project would
take some definite form within a short
time. He told of his talk with Mayor
Hylan recently on the subject and
said hat the mayor had given him
every assurance of his aid in the mat
ter. The mayor he said was much
chagrined over the recent ferry strike
that had cut off Staten Island from
the rest of the city.
Mr.. Van Name pointed out there
was to be $50, 600, 600 for subways In
the city this year and he saw nc rea-
son that the Borough of Richmond
should not get the greater part of
this for the tunnel to. Staten Island.
Others spoke along the same line in
voicing their sentiments for the u n
mel.
Following the discussion it was de-
cided to appoint a committee of 10
to take up the matter n work with
the borough president in his effort to
secure a tunnel to Staten Island. This
committee which will have n rep
eresentative for every thousand of
the 10000 population of the Bor-
ough of Richmond will be named by
the borough president, president of
the Staten Island Chamber of Com
merce and the Staten Island Civic
League. Every section of the island
was represented at the meeting which
was said to have been one of the most
enthusiastic and harmonious for q
subway ever held. Stuart L. RITZ,
president of the Tottenville branch OF
the Civic League, James Laing and
D. w. Hutaf, members, were the rep
resentatfves from this end of the ISL
