FORCED RECOGNITION HERE

Credit is due w. Parker Runyon for having
the Port Of New York Authority include Rari-
tan bay in their tour of inspection on Wednes-
day. 1t was not the original intention of the
party to come to this end of the port at all,
This was shown by advanced statements sent out
by the port authority which stated that the
waterfronts on the Hudson and East rivers.
Staten Island, Newark and Jamaica bays would
be visited. covering "the more important sec
tons of the harbor."
It is evident that those in charge of the port
development do not consider Raritan bay and
river of any consequence whatever. Why this
section was included in the port is hard to I'M
derstan. as those most active in the matter have
their interest centered in and about Manhattan.
But the fact that all this section Is included
means that the people here have got to be on
the alert II they are to receive any recognition.
It requires such determination as Mr.. Runyon
showed on the trip Wednesday to force Raritan
bay to the front. A little more of this kind of
enterprise and the port authority will begin to
realize that Raritan bay is not only on the map.
but that 1t is actually a part of the Port of New
York under the present Interstate agreement
and that this section cannot be ignored.
Mr.. Runyon's activity in getting the inspecting
oarty to include Raritan bas has laid an ex-
PoAky w
eeIlent foundation for the public meeting which
is to be held here September 7. This will be one
big opportunity for the people OF this section
70 impress on the port authority how they feel
about the matter. There is going to be a general
discussion of the whole project at this meeting
and it will be shown how vital 1t is for the Rar-l
ttan bay interests to get busy at once If this part
Of the harbor is to be developed within the next
fifty years.
While Newark is a great manufacturing city.
from the standpoint of a port 1t Is not to be
compared with Perth Amboy. Yet if the Rari-
tan bay interests do not arouse themselves mil
Hons of dollars will be spent in developing New
ark bay when the shipping that would be attrac-
ted there as a result could much more readily
come here. We have direct intercourse with
the open sec while Newark bay is SO land
locked that narrow %tortuous channels have to
be navigated before 1t can be reached. AS for
Jamaica bay, it is away over on Long Island
inaccessible to the great transcontinental rail-
roads.
However, unless Raritan bay forces her ad-
yantages to the front she will get practically
nothing from the enormous development that Is
contemplated. This city is indebted to Mr..
Runyon for bringing Raritan bay to the atten-
ton of the inspection party. 1t is up to the city
to back up this good work by making the meet
ing here on September 7 a rousing success.

right way. 1t has secured expert advice In
coming and planning and the whole -ity has been
included with the future in view as well as the
present. Such a vital problem is not for ordi-
nary citizens to tackle alone during their spare
hours after attending to their own private bust
ness. City planning is a science in itself and
only those who have specialized along that line
are capable of doing justice - airy municipality.
Perth Amboy is row looking cut upon great
4 .velopments. A resi plan is Of the u:rost i'm
portance. There is nothing that can De laheh
I'D at the present time without the deslrapiity
of a city plan being made apparent Two years
have now practically gone by since the Board OIL
Aldermen have appropriated any money Tor d
city plan, yet nothing has been accomplished
OF course, the appropriation has been utterly IN
ADEQUATE, but it has been enough at least 10

The one big proposition for Perth Amboy at
the present time is to get a comprehehsiNe
nlan which will include coming. There Is nothins
that will mean more for the future OF the city
and the taxpayers. AS the Paterson Press
saws. all progressive American cities
= now manning in this way. Unless Perth
Amboy takes the matter up in real earnest II Is
hound to fall behind in the procession.
The city plan ought to be put across next year
even If no other improvement Is accomplished

least. for future work and the city can go
ahead knowing that 1t is travelling along the

THE MURDER MARKET
BY Frederic j.. Haskin.

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 26.-The recent con-
fession of the Italian, Bertolo Fontano, held
by the New York police, has served once more
to remind us that criminal societies among our
foreign born are still very real and lively in
situations. During the past few years their ac-
tivities have kept so quiet that the public rather
got the comfortable idea they had ceased to be
a menace. The well-known "Black Hand" after
it was introduced into the comic supplements,
was regarded as more ridiculous than danger
Gus. But all along, it seems, the Camorra was
keeping up it's high. deadly batting average.
The disclosures made by Fontano, the police
assert, have shed a brilliant light on more than
seventy murders now known to have been com
mitted by the Bonventre band of Good Killers"
Seventeen murders-seven here and ten in De-
roit-are entirely cleared up by the Italians
confession, while it is believed others can now
be solved as a result of it. At least eighteen
murders committed in the neighborhood of
Grand and Chrystie streets here (Which, by the
way, is in the immediate vicinity of the city's
police headquarters) during the past year. can
be traced to the Good Killers" it is thought.
This jovial band, according to the police, is con-
trolled by a few powerful leaders in this coun-
try. who, in turn, receive their orders from the
society's headquarters in Sicily.
Fontano's confession is most unusual; indeed,
almost unheard of. AS a rule, the police can
obtain absolutely no Information from Italians
taken into custody, even though they have been

INTERESTING CONTRAST
BY DIR. w. e. BARTON

World War. so far as America had
a share in it, was the deed of Ser
geant Alvin c. York of the Tennes-
see mountains. He has returned to
a mortgaged farm in the hills of his
native state.
He, too, has opportunity to earn
a fortune upon the screen. The be-
nevolent managers of the> movies
suggest to him that if he has con-
scientious scruples about using the
money, he can give it to charitf
He refuses to touch it. He says: y
II would rather lose my farm and
go back to work as a common day
laborer than to co~mmercialize the
fame that was incidental to an act
Of providence"
This is the brave red-headed lad
who single-handed killed rs enemies,
captured 1872 prisoners and put IS
machine guns out of commission.
Here's hoping Alvin York does not
lose his farm. Here's doubly hoping
that he does not lose his faith that
patriotism and devotion to God and
duty are not to be measured by cash.

We were sitting in a compartment
on the train some weeks ago., and
discussing a murder trial just then
occupying a good deal of space in
the papers. One of the men finally
summed up the situation thus:
"She is guilty. and the court knows
and the jury knows that she is
guilty. The story she tells is more
than half false, but it will serve as
an excuse for the verdict that is GER
tain to come, and which needs the
pretext OF a reasonable doubt.
LAS for the man, he got what was
coming to him, and no one is sorry
for what happened to him. The wo-
man will be engaged by any one of
a half dozen movie firms before she
gets out of the town where she is
tried, and her story will be run as a
highly moral show"
1t all happened precisely as he pre-
dicted, and the time must be n ar
when the disgraceful stun will be
filmed broadcast, and she will get
rich out of her shame.
The bravest single exploit of the

HELP THE GOOD
WORK ALONG

An urgent appeal will be made
to the good people OF this coun-
ty to contribute literally in the
campaign for the Salvation Army,
which starts next Monday, May
II. The quota for the entire coun-
~ is comparatively small, as on
ly $500 has been nskcd for by
the committee. Heretofore the
Salvation Army people have sent
representatives into this coun-
ty throughout the year, and the
amount collected always amounts
10, more than the quota asked
from the county in this drive.
There IS no organization more
worthy OF consideration than the
Salvation Army. Every boy who
saw overseas duty will gladly tes-
tify to the splendid work Of this
organization. who had their work
ers right in the firing lines. feed
ing the Sammy boys and taking
care of their wounds and lending
a helping hand to everyone in
need.
The organization has always
done a wonderful work in the citt-
les all over the country, and it is
now the plan of the Salvation Ar
my to extend their work into the
"ountry towns, and the money
that will be contributed in this
campaign will practically be used
I helping suffering humanity
right here i'll our own midst.
It is the desire of the president
OF the advisory board, Judge w
*. Price, that all members OF the
board attend the meeting which
has been called for Friday night
in the county Judges office at
7 80 O'Clock. 1t is very important
that the entire mmberslip OF the
advisory board be present to ar
range for the drive which starts
