than Epstein Against Raritan

day by a jury in the district court
in the case of Nathan Epstein, of
this city, VS.. the Raritan River Rail-
road Company. The a was tried
before Judge G.. c. Hommann.
Epstein sued the railroad company
for $500, for injuries received on Oc-
tober "a, 1918, when he was struck
by an engine at the Whitehead cross
ing in South River. Epstein claimed.
that as he drove upon the crossing, the
gates were up and there was no gate
man in charge of the crossing at that
time, nor did the train give any
warning signal of its approach.
The railroad company claimed that
the engineer blew his whistle and
rang the bell before reaching the
crossing and had the engineer, con-
ductor, station agent n other wit
nesses to prove this fact.
The jury, which was out but a short
time, consisted of the following men:
John DeHamm, Harry Raymond,
Philip Rock, John McMurray. Benja-
min Rubright, Peter Pavlovsky,
Charles Schonceit. John Totin, Au-
gusta Smith, Charles Hickman, Ben
jamin Goldman and John Pico.

company by Edwards &c Edwards, OF

SHOWS WAYFOR
BELT LINE HERE
Need Cooperation and Interest
--Then Big Thing for City
is Assured

II the city itself will show the
necessary interest and cooperate with
the Belt Line Commission, Perth AM
boy is assured of becoming III south
ern terminus of the belt line railroad
which was proposed some months ago
to relieve che congestion in the New
York freight centers and to furnish
a direct shipping point for freight
bound for overseas.
At a conference held yesterday in
New York, in the offices of the COM
mission, by Fred f. Hilton, secretary
OF the Board of Trade, and A. w.
Carroll, chairman of the Traffic Com
mittee of this organization, with b.
f. Cresson, Jr., consulting engineer
in charge of the project, it was point
ed out that great things lay in store
for this city If the necessary coopera-
ion is forthcoming.
The present plans for the belt line
extend to the banks of the Raritan
river and include this city. At the
employed by the commission, drawing
plans, securing data and looking into
the quantity of freight being shipped
from various cities along the route
of the proposed railroad.
One of the main things in connec-
ton with the belt line is to have bulk
heads built and paved and dredging
done so tnaL large ocean hueiS anu
transatlantic steamers may dock
right at the bulkheads so that auto
trucks and freight cars can be run
alongside the steamers n ,unloaded
directly into them. without n hand
ling of the material so many times as
is now necessary.
At the present time the belt line is
being considered by the New York
New Jersey Port Commission, but
should it not prove successful, it is
learned that--the railroads realizing
how necessary the belt line is to re-
move congestion, are considering
building it themselves. The matter
y be thoroughly discussed at a
ing of the Traffic Committee to
D. .sld in the Board of Trade rooms
af,S30 o'clock Friday afternoon.

TUNNEL-BR|DGE
BILLS ARE SIGNED
Allow ST, 900, 900 for Tunnel to
N. Y. and $500, 900 for
Bridge Over Delaware
By Special Correspondent.

81 special Correspondent.
TRENTON, April Ex-Governor
Edge has signed the two senate bills
which will launch the Hudson river
~vehicular tunnel project connecting
New Jersey with New York, at Jersey
City, and the Delaware river bridge,
uniting this state with Pennsylvania
by spanning the river from Camden
to Philadelphia.
The Mackay bill Is based on the
fact hat the present legislature will
match New York state by setting
aside $1,000 900 for the launching of
the tunnel project, and the Case bill
is p~redicated upon the appropriating
of $1,000 for the starting of the
Delaware bridge.
The governor signed these two bills
late yesterday, and by an odd coinci-
dence on the same day as Governor
Smith, of New York, received from
the Empire State legislature the tun-
mel bill which has passed that body.
Mr.. Edge wired Governor Smith as
follows:
ut is with much qualification that
/ approved the legislative act provid-
ing for New Jerseys partnership with
New York in constructing a vehicular
tunnel under the Hudson river. APP
preparation of one million dollars has
been included in the regular appro-
priation bill. I have hopes for the
benefit to the entire nation of the
closer relationship thus made posi-
BILE between our two great common
wealths. The day has gone for at
tempting to balance benefits. Both
states demand this modern type OF
communication and / am confident
you will join with us in assuring this
dawn of a new day."

ization and for other reasons which
it has explained. On the other hand
careful inquiry in New Jersey demon
strates that practically every town,
city and hamlet is arranging for
home coming celebrations when their
own boys are actually demobilized
and have returned to their homes, so
thatsin this way local people will see
the local boys practically exclusively,
whereas at q divisional review a very
small proportion of h boys who
march by are actually boys from that
section and on the other hand and
quite important, a very large proper
ton Of local boys who are already
discharged and who are home, but
who were not me nbers of the divi-
sion being paraded stand on the side
walk and wonder why they were not
given consideration. even though they
were not members of hat particular
division.
THE Camp Dix Field Day, of
course, has its disadvantages, but so
do the other suggestions. Apparently
from General MacIntyre's letter, the
Camp Dix idea will meet the hearty
approval of the War Department and
special efforts will be made if 1t is
favorably decided upon, to make this
a real Jersey occasion. Perhaps pc
cial rates could be secured from the
railroads running to Camp Dix. In
late June and July is a pleasant time
of the rear and a field day will natur-
ally be a pleasant occasion. Friends
who can come will have q full day
with their boys rather than see them
go by on. parade only. with the addi-
tional advantage hat it will be pos
sible to have a review composed ex-
clusively of Jerseymen.
Personally. / am inclined to favor
this proposition over the divisional
review in cities and then in the long
run it will be more pleasing to the
men whose desire, of course, should
be first considered. At the recent
meeting of mayors held in my office
the view there expressed was strongly
against the divisional review in cities
and when it was suggested as a pos
sibility the rivalry between cities was
likewise very apparent and ii may be
that the Camp Dix suggestion offers
the most practical plan"

REFUSE DEMAND
PAINTERS MAKE
Master Painters Stick to Agree
ment to Boost Pay Soc But
Won't Pay $6 a Day

Fifteen master painters of this city
have issued an ultimatum to the
journeymen painters who are out on
a strike demanding an increase of 81
per day over the present wage of SIS.
At a meeting of the BOSS painters
last night at the Builders Exchange
it was decided to abide by their
agreement to grant an increase of
fifty cents and to remain obdurate to
any further demands made by the
journeymen. This attitude was as
sumed by the master painters because
they think that an increase of $3.50
per day in one year, as has been the
case this last year, is sufficient.
Following is the statement issued
by the master painters last night:
