RECORD MADE
BY GARRET TSONS
Carries Three In Plane to Key.
port and Back
The Garretson airplane made a new

The Garretson airplane made a new
weight carrying record yesterday az
ternoon when Pilot "Bill' Garretson
took his brother Donald and DR.. Ar
thur LaRoe for a trip to Keyport
where they purchased some accessor-
les for the machine and returned
home without any mishap. The parts
had to be secured at the Aeromarine
plant at Keyport and as it would take
too long to make the trip by auto they
decided to fly over. This Is the first
time three passengers have ever gone
up in the machine, which is built for
one person in the forward or pass
engers compartment and one in the
pilots seat
Donald Garretson and DR.. LaRoe
managed to squeeze into the forward
seat and putting arms around each
other managed to keep each other
warm on the trip TO and from Key
port. A stiff breeze was blowing and
no trouble was experienced at the
take off in getting into the air with
the three men aboard. In spite of a
poor surface, which was soft and
sandy, the landing at Keyport was
uneventful. The take-off there was
also made perfectly.
Shopping By Air
The old story about the grocer who
hired q four horse dray with a wind
lass to deliver a yeast cake that his
patron refused to carry home is now
out Of date Yesterday morning the
Garretson boys, in going over their
Curtiss machine decided that the
shock absorbing rubber on the axle
ought to be replaced. 1t was bit
damaged by oil. They also found they
could use to advantage a small amount
of patching material for the wings,
where small boys, and large ones, had
attempted to autograph them. But 1t
would take considerable time to drive
to Keyport by car. SO they cranked
up and flew over to the Aeromarine
plant and brought back the material,
all in a little over thirty minutes.
More than this. Another expert
ment was tried out for the first time
in this machine. There was q good
stiff breeze blowing at the take off. so
Bill Garretson figured the motor, with
the help of the wind, would tae three
passengers off the ground. So they
invited DR.. Arthur I.aRoe, who was
on the field to go with them. Donald
Garretson and the doctor occupied the
forward compartment together and
kept each other warm. On returning
the three were weighed and found
that they had carried 435 pounds
aloft, 2S6 of which was in the for
ward, or passenger, compartment
Pilot "Bilr" Garretson announced
his intentions .of flying to Princeton
on Saturday with passenger, prob
ably his brother Thomas, to witness
the football game between Princeton
and Lafayette. Both Garretson
brothers are Lafayette men.

SAY HE ADMITS
KILLING MAN
Wiszuk, Arrested in Elizabeth
for Roosevelt Murder
GRAND JURY ACTS TOMORROW
Peltier Gives Out Confession
Prisoner Is Said to Have
Made
GRAND JURY ACTS TOMORROW

BIZ staff Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 9:-
Steve Wiszuk, alias Steve Smith, who
was arrested yesterday morning in
Elizabeth charged with the murder
of Steve Zurich, Of Roosevelt, at
Gurich's home on Tuesday night, is
now held in the county Jail here.
When the grand jury considers the
case tomorrow a confession alleged
to have been secured from Wiszuk
will be part of the evidence.
The murder of Zurich took place
about 10:30 Tuesday night, Chief Har-
rington of the Roosevelt police i'm
mediately notified Chief of County De-
tectives Peltier and the county de-
tectives and Roosevelt police got to
work at once, notifying surrounding
cities.
Wiszuk was arrested by the Eliza
beth police at O'Clock next morning
and Detective Peltier praised the
speed of the Roosevelt police. for the
arrest which did not take twelve
hours.
Chief of Police Harrington and
Chief of County Detectives Peltier
went to Elizabeth, brought the man
back to Roosevelt, where Wiszuk first
denied the sho oting, but broke down,
after being continuously questioned by
Peltier, and admitted the crime, max
ing a signed confession according to
Peltier. He was then taken to New
Brunswick together with three ma
terial witnesses, and Peltier i'm
mediately announced that the case
was ready at any time.
The three material witnesses, Mike
Munchesky, Thomas Xoplides and
John Koites have already been ques-
toned by Peltier.
Wiszuk's confession Is as follows:
"About two weeks ago went to the
room of Steve Zurich and stole re-
volver and SO. / came from Eliza
beth after 10 p. M, on the night of
the 18th, and when came to Chrome
/ started for the room of Zurich and
was going to ask him for some money.
As i was In the kitchen, a Greek was
going upstairs. / went into the toilet
where 1, tied handkerchief over my
face. Zurich came cut of his room,
as came out of the toilet, and Or
dered him to put his hands up, but he
noticed his revolver, and knew it was
me ,and therefore grabbed for the
gun. I fired two shots and he fell. 1
went out the window, over q shed,
jumped to the ground and over a
back fence. Then I went to Eliza
beth. left the revolver i'm the room.
From this statement 1t Is found
that Zurich was shot with his own
gun which had been stolen two weeks
ago, when Wiszuk secured a key to
his room.
On the night of the crime Wiszuk
started from Elizabeth with Munch-
esky and intended going to Roselle in
search of work. Somewhere on the
road Wiszuk left for Chrome. and
went into a toilet next Gurich's room
and prepared for the crime. Perhaps
Zurich heard the noise in the next
room which caused him to go out and
resulted in his death.

Chairman Of State Highway Commission Addressing Chamber

the west of the structure, which now
spans the Raritan.
The Hole-in-the-W Wall, Mr.. Herbert
said, is out of the jurisdiction of the
Highway Commission.
The state route which passes
through South Amboy will take the
road along the Pennsylvania right
of way, instead of through the Hole
in-the-Wall, he said, thus eliminating
the latter from any consideration. In
referring to the Hole-in-theW Wall, he
said, that matter rested between the
Freeholders and the city of South
Amboy
Mr.. Herbert, who has been with
the Highway Commission since it's
revision, gave a complete report on
the work of this body. He told Of
the Edge acts, drawn up in 1917,
providing a highway commission Of
eight men, two of whom should be
engineers.
The second measure, he said provid-
ed for the routes to cover the most
important parts of the state.
The third measure was in regard
to the payment of construction of the
roads and the taxes. Mr.. Herbert
pointed out that three million dollars
are appropriated for each of the five
years which the bill covers.
General GoethalS is the adviser on
the road question and was requested
to select the best engineer to his
knowledge to take charge of the en-.
gineering end of this work, Mr.. Her.
bert said. He selected William
Thompson, who had charge of the
concrete work of the Panama Canal,
for this office. Mr.. Herbert congrat-
uIated the State of New Jersey upon
having such a man as Mr.. Thompson
as the head of this work.
Mr.. Herbert gave facts,of the grow
tn of the automobile industry as being
the main reason for good roads. The
automobile licences issued have in
creased since 1919 from Still, 600 to
100000. He said that If the auto
mobiles of the United States were put
end to end, they would reach around
the entire globe. Here in New Jer-
sey the licenses issued since 1915 have
increased from 1900 to $4,000 which
is two and half per cent. of the IL
censes issued in the United States.
Mr.. Herbert also went into detail.
pointing out the difference in con-
struction of the various kinds OF
roads and showing their sS1oa. points.
Todays' forum was the first of its
kind to be held this season, forty-tw0
men attending. These affairs will be
held semi monthly in the future. at
which time questions of importance
to the city and community will be dis
cussed by men specially adapted for
such. Jacob Klein presided at to-
days forum. Great satisfaction was
expressed by those present on ths
outcome of the initial meeting.
