Freight rates will be lowered, and

Sammy Jay Is Most Polite

Sammy Iau

Sammy Jay is accounted one OF the
smartest Of all the little people in the
Green Forest. He is smart in more
ways than one. No one can be more
rude and unmannerly than he, and no
one can be more polite, He learned
when quite young that politeness usual
ly pays, so when there IS something he
wants to gain he is pollteness itself.
Sammy, hidden in the top of a tall
hemlock tree, kept so stil that Rusty
the Fox Squirrel, sitting with his head
cut Of the doorway of his new home,
which was in hollow dead limb Of a
big maple tree close by, didn't see or
hear him at all. For long sine Rusty
sat there looking this way and look

near, he came out and nimbly ran up

Sammy Jay almost gave himself away
by gasping with surprise when he saw
how big Rusty was, but he choked
that gasp back and waited until Rusty
was comfortably seated with his back
to the trunk of the tree.
Good evening, Mr.. Stranger" said
Sammy most politely.
Rusty the Fox Squirrel looked
startled. He was startled. But he
kept his seat. He knew that voice, and
he knew that Sammy Jay could do him
no harm.
Good evening" he replied rather
ungraciously, staring over at the tor
Of the tall hemlock tree.
Sammy flew out where he could be
seen. "Welcome to the Green Forest

Approval of the plan to build canal
across New Jersey connecting New

Another public meeting will be held
tomorrow at Philadelphia, the board

find out the approximate cost.
Colonel J. c. Sanford. United States

Dock Commissioner Hubert said that
New York, in endeavoring to procure

1t is figured that tho original esti

were about $20,000,000, probably will be
doubled under present conditions, bu
the canal Will pay even at those figures
according to evidence introduced at thu

The canal will complete the inter

Routes for Motorists
To the Football Games
Several Roads Available for
Those Bound for Princeton
and Philadelphia

Motorists going to the football game
at Princeton tomorrow will not, after
all, be able to use the main route from
New York City. That route, which is
by the way of Franklin Park, just
south Of this city, to Kingston, to
Princeton, is closed during the con-
struction of concrete roadway. One
possible route from New York to
Princeton is from Newark to Somer-
vile, to Bellemcad, to Harlinger, to
Princeton.
Another route is from New Bruins
wick going out in Commercial Avenue
to Georges Road, about five miles out
on that road to a sign reading "To
Princeton; thence to the right on the
road leading to Monmouth Junction;
thence to Kingston where the turn to
the left into the Trenton Turnpike is
to be avoided, this being also under
construction, but continuing from
Kingston straight ahead for half mile
to q sign, "Detour to Princeton and
thence to Princeton.
A third route is fron. New Brunswick
straight out Georges Road to Gran
bury, then to the right, It sign read
ing "To Princeton" into a road leading
directly to Princeton. This third route
is longer, but by better roads.
Those bound for PHILADELPHIA, where
Pennsylvania and Dartmouth are play
ing on Saturday, will take the right
turn beyond the sign ITO Princeton"
after passing through Cranbury, and
continue straight through Edinburg
and Merccrville t. Trenton, entering
via State Street and passing on the
left the State Capitol. just beyond q
left turn is made to the Calhoun Street
! bridge crossing the Delaware River
into Pennsylvania. The route now con
tinues through Fallsington, Oxford
Valley and Bustlcton into the North
western or Roosevelt Boulevard, lead
distance above the, North Philadelphia
station Of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Probably the best way for the stran-
ger is to continue down North Broad
Street to it's end at the City Hall,
keeping to the right around the west
/ side of that great building, and start
ing down South Broad Street, crossing
( Chestnut Street, to Walnut Street.
/ Turning right on Walnut Street, keep
straight ahead to and across the
Schuylkill River to either Thirty-sec-

street, where left turn will bring one

Bellevue Patient May
Have Murdered Waters
Man Answering Description OF
Slayer at Hospital on Day
After Hotel Crime

Police detectives investigating the
murder of Leeds Vaughan Waters at
the plymouth Hotel in West Thirty
eighth Street week ago discovered
yesterday that on November 4, the day
that Waters was beaten to death, a
man suffering from injuries which
might have been received in such o
struggle called at Bellevue Hospital
for treatment.
DR. Alexander Timm, who was on duty
in the receiving office Of the hospital
at the time, said that the patient wore
no undercl clothing.
A suit of underwear was found in the
room which Waters shared with the
man who killed him. The initials or
the underciothing do not correspond
to the name given by the man who
called at Bellevue Hospital for treat
ment, but descriptions of the man who
accompanied Waters to his room and
Of the Bellevue Hospital patient are
similar.
The man left the hospital the day
after his arrival there, against the ad-
vice Of physicians, going away in {
taxicab with a woman who he sale
was his wife. After he had gone ar
elderly woman and two men called at
the hospital to inquire about him.

Coal ProGteers Traced

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. Ill. D. a.
Morrow, vice president of the National
Coal Association. said to-day in an
address before the convention of the
Eastern Ice Manufacturers Association
in this city, that Federal control Of
coal mines was unnecessary. There
was no coal famine, he said, and the

the public was suffering was caused by
