NEED STATE POLICE

NEED STATE POLICE
The declaration that the p%rosecu-
tors ONCE is unable to patrol the
outlying districts OF the county due
to the fact that there Is an ever
Increasing amount of work already
placed upon the county detectives,
again shows the need for q state
constabulary in New Jersey. While
the county prosecutor stands ready
to cooperate with every section Of
the county in preventing crimes
when committed and arresting the
perpetrators when offenses are
found, still there is patrol work and
misdemeanors to be taken care of
that do not come under the juris-
diction of the county ONCE.
The problem does not trouble the
authorities of the larger communi-
ties as much as the rural sections
Of the county. In many Of the
smaller places in Middlesex there is
little or no police protection. Long
stretches of roads leading from one
town to another are not protected
In any way. Some communities have
only a constable to enforce law and
order, to regulate trafic on the
busy days and to serve papers. APP
peaIs come into the prosecutors
once from different sections to send
out men to the outlying districts on
matters that do not come under the
jurisdiction of the Office at all. The
prosecutors staff is not large
enough as it is to take care Of all
the cases demanding investigation,
many of which are Of a serious
nature.
The number of truck robberies is
another reason why the county
should be ~patrolled by state police.
1t is no fault Of the county detec-
or municipal authorities of
he different cities or towns that
these holdups have occurred. I'm
der the present conditions it would
a physical impossibility to guard
the main trunk lines passing
the county. With the auto
truck playing a important part in
transportation from the farm and
factory the drivers of the trucks are
In constant fear of being wayiaid.
They are becoming "jumpy" due to
the number of holdups.
The presence of state troopers at
different points in the county and
etate would do much to prevent
road bandits from continuing the
dasnerate acts. The state police
could also be used to direct trafnc
during the congestion that occurs
practically every weekend. There
are many important crossroads
that have more need for an oficer
TO direct traffic than at some Of the
n in the cities
As there is no relief in sight the
only action that can be taken by
the sections that are clamoring for
protection is to have their sections
patrolled by an onicer mounted on
either a horse or motorcycle. pre-
ferably the latter. In this way a
large area could be covered and an
attempt for better protection would
be the result.

SOUTH AMB0Y STARTS
NEW EAST RELIEF DRIVE

BIZ Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, May 3.-South
Amboy yesterday started or its am
paign to raise $4,000 to relieve the
suffering In the Near East. Headed
by Chairman Wi.s.am s. Dey q COM
mittes organization of thirty team
captains expect to start out this morn
ing on a house to house canvass.
There are q number of captains who
nave not yet reported>fo their sup
plies. These men are urged to get
in touch with the chairman OF the
committee as soon as possible in order
that no part of the city will go unso-
licited.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was addressed by a small but enthus-
iastic audience. Captain Hibben for
mer American Army officer Just re-
turned from the Near East was the
speaker of the afternoon. He out
lined the worK OF the Near East Re
lief and graphically explained the sit
uation as II exists. He explained how
the Armenian people were always self
supporting up until the time the Turks
came in and destroyed all their farm
ing implements. He stated hat until
such time that the peace conference
found time to permanently fix the
boundary line Of this new republic
there would be trouble and conditions
could not better. With the fixing of
this boundary line, the extension OF
credit will come. With money loaned
they will be able 10 buy cultivators
and feed themselves.
Captain Hibben was followed by an
ex-American soldier who had been
in the service of the British Army
In the Holy Land. He told even more
~impreSsively of the suffering of his
people. He pointed put that the Ar
menians were the Oldest Christian
people in the world and deserved as
~sistance for that reason alone. He
also pointed out that the handful of
Armenian Soldiers at the break of the
Russian Army. had kept the hordes
of the Turks out Of their country,
prevented them from thanking the AL
lies In Russia and prevented them
from uniting with the great Monham .
adian troops from Asia Minor.
At the close OF the meeting Chair
man Dey solicited the support of
everyone present and urged quick,
hard work on the part of the cap
tains.
