PLAYGROUND ACTIVITIES

The three league volley ball COM
petition which started yesterday at
each of the three city Fairgrounds
has stirred up intense rivalry and
interest among the various teams.
Enthusiasm is keen and yesterdays
matches were hotly contested, all
scores being very close. The an
Louncement that the city champion
ship will be determined by inter-
playground matches has aroused the
greatest interest in the league.
In yesterdays games in the boys
leagues the Nationals trimmed the
HaymakerS in two matches; the Fly
ers beat the Arrows; the Eagles won
from the White Stars; the PAGERS
beat the Acmes, and the Ardmores
took the Speedways into camp. The
girls matches resulted in victories
for the Bluebells and Crows against
the Bluebirds and Skylarks.
Following the volley ball matches
at School No. 2 yesterday the girls
went swimming from the beach off
Hayes Park. They were accompa-
MED by their instructors.
Preparations for the pet show to

FREE DELIVERY
SERVICE WANTED
Raritan Bay Park Wants Car
rier Service Extended to
That Section

lBy Evening News Staff Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, July 14:-Resi-
dents of Raritan Bay Park. the
bungalow section OF Tottenville,
want delivery mail service extended
to that part of the town and are
talking of starting a petition to the
postal authorities to get it. Since
that part of the town is fast becom-
ing an all year round residence place
for many who have only passed
their summers there. they believe
they should have the anne service
given by carrier in T~ottenville pro-
per. They believe that two more
carriers added to the Tottenville
postal station could that sec
ton with two deliveries a day the
same as now given to the residents
of Tottenville. When the free de-
livery was established in Tottenville
two years ago Raritan Bay Park was
left out because of no sidewalks as
required by the government for serv-
ice Of this kind. Those living in
Raritan Bay Park must walk to the
postal station now for their mail.
The residents Of Raritan Bay Park
are not only clamoring for postal
delivery, but they want better light
ing and city water in streets tina
have not already been given service.
This agitation was started following
a fire in Manhattan street several
weeks ago which destroyed two
bungalows and threatened to wipe
out others on the lower part Of that
street. AS Manhattan street is one
of the principal streets extending to
the beach and is built up, the people
owning houses on that thoroughfare
think they should have the same
Protection as the other Sfroets with
regard to water and street lights to
see with when going out at night.
All other streets leading to the beach
have both water and lights and they
gay that they are entitled to the
sa me Improvement.

Editorials
WORTH SAVING

Louis F. Post assistant secretary of Labor has been
the subject of much criticism with very little opportuni
ty for the presentation of his own side Of the case He
has been charged with communsdc views, with shielding
communists whom the department of justice wished TO
deport and with general unRnes for the duties of his
Office. To what extent these charges, and the public
impression of Mr.. Posts fitness for the place. are based
upon facts is matter upon which there is shortage of
information.
But in defending his subordinate Secretary Wilson,
with the evident approval of the presdnt has set forth
the general principles upon which, as he asserts the de-
portation division of the department has been run They
include the following:
mo person shall be arrested except upon sworn af-
hdavits based upon information and belief
mo person when arrested shall be held incummuni-
cado.
Every person arrested shall be entitled to counsel i'm
mediatey upon being taken into custody
They shall be confronted with the evidence and
shall be permitted furnish testimony and be heard in
their own behalf
Excessive bail shall not be required"
Secretary Wilson adds. when these safeguards Of
American liberty have been provided if it then shown
by the evidence that any alien is dcportable under the
socaled anarchstc law, we will depor him with as lit
tie compunction would attack an invading enemy.
The principles which Mr.. Wilson enumerates are
bases of liberty this country, the foundation upon
which any system of justice rest. To ignore or dis
regard them is 10 substitute lynch law for The law Of the
land If Louis Posts ofense consists as Secretary Viii
declares, in adherng these principles in the exami-
nation of persons accused by the department of justice
the people must either hold him in the right or pronounce
against our whole legal system.
# we have anything worth saving it is the guaran-
tees by which individuals protected from auocratic
authority.
