BOOSTERS CLUB
FOR SHIP CANAL
Board Of Trade Arranging to
Call Meeting Here to Push
Project

The Board of Trade is arranging
to call a meeting of representative
men of this city to organize a boost
ers club for THE New Jersey Inter-
coastal Ship Canal" and to further
the organization of similar clubs
throughout the state, and principally
in the districts through which the
canal will pass. 1t is thought that
the club may be organized at special
meeting to be held next Friday night.
Not only will the clubs start a
campaign to boost the canal, but they
will carry the matter before Congress,
representatives from the clubs going
to Washington to back the bill when
II comes before that body. A big
publicity campaign will be carried on
and the whole state made aware of
the benefit the state and country will
receive through the building of the
canal.
1t is expected that the club will
get down to action soon after 1t has
been formed and that before many
weeks the state will be alive with the
propaganda that will eventually bring
about the completion of the New
Jersey Intercoastal Ship Camel"

1t is probable that action will be
taken by the prosecutors office in the
very near future to bring the three
men before Justice James j. Bergen
for sentence. Under the conviction
without recommendation by the jury
only the death penalty may be imposed.
: Unless the Court of Pardons inter-
venes, and it is said that it is unlikely
that 1t will. the men cannot be saved
from the chair.
According to the testimony of Mrs
Mary Smith, the widow of Roman
Smith, a farmer of South River, who
was shot and killed October II, 1917,
the three men were in the party that
entered her home in search of SIC. 900.
attacked and beat her, and murdered
her husband as he attempted to rescue
her. The story as developed through
the testimony of the various witnesses
at the trial April, 1918, shows that five
men planned the attack on the Smith
homestead. Emanuel Napolitane
