EVENT COMING
Mayor Gets Official Call for
Rivers and National Con-
gress--CanaI to be Boosted

Mayor Frank Dorsey has received
the official call for the sixteenth con-
vention of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress which will be held
in the New Willard Hotel, Washing
ton, on Dec. 8, 8 and 10. One of the
important topics which will come up
for discussion at this session will be
that of the proposed Intra- Coastal
Ship Canal from Morgan to Bord-
entown, a project which will mean
much to Perth Amboy in developing
its harbor and bringing to this city
hundreds of boats which cannot at
present use the Delaware-R Raritan
Canal owing to lack of sufficient IA
cilities to handle large boats.
The mayor is requested to have
present at the convention a large
delegation of Perth Amboy's leading
business men to take part in discus
sing the many important questions
which are to be considered.
While the entire program has not
been announced 1t is evident that
there will be no lack of interesting
addresses and that an unusual num-
Der of important questions will be
discussed, in which some snappy
debates are expected owing to the
difference of opinion existing on
these subjects
Major General Lansing II. Beach,
chief of engineers, U. S. army, will
be one of the speakers and will pre-
sent some of his reasons explaining
the fact that waterways in this coun-
try are used but little as compared
to the traffic by water in Europe.

SENSATION IN
K|NM0N TIL CASE
Charge Doctor Performed
Unlawful Operation on
Woman Before Suicide.

The fact that DIR. Hugh s.. Kin
month, the well known physician of
Asbury Park and a commissioner
of that city, who committed suicide
Following an operation performed
on Mrs. Esther A. Keyier, of 219
Sewal avenue, Asbury Park, which
resulted in her death, as told in
Saturdays EVENING NEWS, has
created a sensation throughout the
friends who knew the doctor for his
civic work in that popular shore re-
sort
When DR.. Kinmonth committed
suicide last July, on his farm near
Asbury Park, there was much spec
ulation for the reason for the doc
tor doing away with himself. The
first real facts in the case did not
come to- light, however, until Satur-
day, when the law firm of Wight,
Wight & Golenbock, of this city, re-
ported that they had been retained
by Havell G. Keyler. of Asbury
Park, the husband of the dead
woman, to file a claim with the ex-
ecutors of the estate for $4,000,
charging the death of his wife to be
directly due to an unlawful opera
tion performed upon her by the
doctor.
Keyler, who is an employee of the
city Of Asbury Park, alleges the OPP
Grafton was performed upon his wife
without his consent or knowledge.
The alleged operation is claimed to
have been performed on July 16,
1920 and Mrs. Keyler was removed to
the Asbury Park City Hospital July
20. Besides her husband she is sur
vived by two children, Charles, age
six years and Frances L., five years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Keyler had been mar
ried eight years.
The communication forwarded to
the executors of DR.. Kinmonth's es-
tate by the local law firm, notifying
them of the claim, follows:
Viola S. Humphreys and Albert
Bazin, exect.. of the Estate 'of Hugh
S. Kinmonth.
Dear Sir and Madam
1--WE have been retained by Havell
c. Keyler to institute suit against the
estate of the late Hugh s. Kinmonth
for the death of his wife for having
perform an unlawful operation
without consent.
I'VE will be pleased to discuss
the matter with your attorneys if you
care to do so.
A"aiuHS " near ioih you as ID
your attitude lin the matter"
Very truly yours,
Wight, Wight and Golenbock.
1t was learned from Mr.. Keyler's
counsel today that the will is being
contested due to the fact that he
left the bulk ofsthe estate to Viola
S. Humphreys.3of Spring Lake, who
is also one of the executives. There
has been dissension between Miss
Humphreys and Albert Bazin, exec
utors, according to Fl. X. Golenbock
of the local law firm, and it is re-
ported that Judge r. V. Lawrence
had removed both executors.
