1 Ol.t Council
Organized to
Hasten Action
Representatives of Citizens
Groups Take Up Report
of Old Interstate Hair
Dor Development Body
Work for Unified Plan
Coordination of Transporta-
ton Facilities Among
First Objects Sought

The Advisory Council to the new
Port of New York Authority, composed
of representatives of chambers of COM
merce, civic associations and other in
terested bodies of citizens within the
Port District, was organized yesterday
at meeting in the Offices of the Port
Authority at IL Broadway.
The council, consisting of the rep
resentatives of nearly 100 different
organizations, began Immediately con-
sideration of the report of the old
New York, New Jersey Port and Harbor
Development Commission, which the
Port Authority commissioners are to
study in cooperation with these asso-
Citations, the municipal authorities, the
railroads, the shipping interests and
all others concerned in the problem of
port development.
The Port Authority, under the law,
has to submit final comprehensive
report and plan for the development of
the port based on the old commissions
report, to the next legislatures of this
State and New Jersey.
E. H. Outerbridge, chairman of the
Port Authority, presided and delivered
the principal address to the conference.
He referred to the highly technical
work required in getting correct an
alysis of the existing conditions in
order to arrive at the most compre-
hensive plan. This is being carried on,
he said, by conferences with railroad
representatives, trucking, lighterage
and other harbor business, in order to
be complete in detail.
He said that the commissioners were
trying to check up the tonnage and the
costs. After an agreement has been
reached on these fundamentals, he said,
the next subjects for discussion will be
prompt relief through a better co6rdi-
! nation of existing facilities by con-
solidation of lighterage service, by uni
fcation Of trucking and by partial or
store-door delivery arranged through
cooperation with the shippers and con-
signees.
1 Great reduction of congestion at the
piers can be accomplished by this
method, Mr.. Outerbridge said Follow
ing satisfactory solution of this form
of Improvement and economy, he said
there will be taken up for careful study

Mother to Defend
Son Held on Wife
Desertion Charge
Mrs. Bersenger Says She
Will Fight to Last Ditch TO
Clear Ex-Soldier Who Has
Been Sought Since 1916

Harold Hunt Jones. twenty-eigft
years old, an ex-soldier, arrested last
Tuesday under fve-year- indict-
ment charging desertion of his wife,
Mrs. Edna Jones, of 1919 Jamaica Ave
nue., Richmond Hill, and their children,
was released yesterday from the Queens
County jail by Judge Humphrey on
$500 bonds furnished by his mother,
Mrs. Clara F. Bersenger, of 1863 Cedar
Avenue, Morris Park.
Mrs. Bersenger, who is widely known
for her philanthropies, declared, as
she accompanied Jones from the JAIL
that she would fight to the last ditch to
clear him of the charges made by his
wife. The arrest Of Jones was an out
rage, she said.
Mrs. Jones, wife of the young man,
expressed an equal determination to
punish him for his alleged desertion of
Der and the children. She said Jones
returned home after five years' absence
because he thought the law of limita-
tlons would prevent his prosecution.
Judge Humphrey yesterday ordered
Jones to pay Mrs. Jones SIS a week
for support of the children pending
his trial under the indictment for
desertion. Mrs. Bersenger told the
court that Jones would be able to es-
tablish satisfactory defense to the
charge. Jones now demands the Gus
tody of the children.

Munson Officials Unable to
Pick Up the Callao, Which
Has Not Reported Since
Sailing From Rio June 20
Mystery Ship OFF Coast
Speeds Up in Night, Without
Revealing Identity, and
Vanishes After Inspection

With no word for seventeen days
from the radio of the Munson liner
Cailao and with reports from Boston
sea captains of the sighting of mys-
terry ship last month 100 miles south
east of New York, maritime circles yes
terday revived rumors that pirates are
operating off the Atlantic Coast and
proving on American commerce
The Callao, bound from Buenos Ayres
and Rio de Janero for New York, has
not been heard from since she left the
Brazilian capital June 20. She is due
here Sunday with sixty passen-
gers and freight cargo. Combing Of
the steamship lanes with the radio has
elected no response from the vessel,
officials of the line said They adj
mitted that for two days they had been
trying in vain to establish communica-
ton with her.
The Naval Communications Office,
which also is without any report from
the Callao, has wirclessed all ships
off the coast to keep lookout for her.
Officials of the Munson line refused
to believe that the reported operations
of pirates had anything to do with
They suggested that the ships wire
less might have been disabled or that
atmospheric conditions might have in
terfered with the operation of her
radio.
From Boston came reports from Off
GERS of the steamship Munalbro, also
Of the Munson line, who said that on
June 80, about 800 miles east of Phila-
delphia, they sighted out of the fog a
mysterious ship which bore Inadequate
lights, had an unusual whistle, made

no effort to speak to the Munalbro, but
instead unanswered as If to inspect
her thoroughly and then vanished. The
strange behavior of this craft caused
Captain Giles of the Munalbro and
Captain Ed Diamond, second officer, to
give a full report of the incident to
the headquarters of their line.
According to the report of the two
officers the unidentified vessel was
making 20 knots to the northwest VIII en-
sighted, while the Munalbro was doing
only IL. She came up on the Munal~
bros port about 1:45 o'clock in the
morning and, after apparently trying t."
cross the latter's bow, stopped her
engines and lay off about half mile,
sizing up the Munson liner After
fifteen minutes she turned and steamed
eff to the east and in few minutes
had disappeared.
Prior to the appearance of the strange
vessel the captain of the Munalbro had
heard repeatedly through the fog a
strange whistle, such as he had never
heard at sea before. The fog lifted
suddenly and off to the port was the
mystery ship, her masthead and range
lights burning but sidelights out
Officers Of the Munalbro believe that
the pirates" observed that their ship
was in ballast and did not attack her
on that account. Captain Diamond
said: 81 would not care to say that the
vessel was a pirate craft, but her &C
tions were certainly peculiar" He
pointed out that sidelights are cum
pulsory and that their absence was
enough to arouse the suspicious of nav
igatorS.

Even Rose Reilly, whose jewelry and
dresses Miss Willsey stole when both

Chew Mentally Affected
By Blow, Says Doctor

DR.. Daniel Percy Hickling, in charge
of the psychopathic ward of the Asy-
ium Hospital in Washington, was the
chief witness for the defense yesterday
at the continuance of the court martial
on Governors Island of Captain Bev-
erly Grayson Chew, who is charged
with forgery and other offenses.
DR.. Kicking said that Chew gave evil
dences of psychoses that could not
easily be simulated. 1t was his opinion
that the defendant was mentally ar
fected by blow on the back of the
head. He said that an exhaustive test
showed that the optic center had been
affected by the blow and that Chew had
dizzy spells.
Other witnesses, police officials from
the District CT Columbia, testified that
when they went to arrest Mrs. Chew
last autumn in connection with a fur
theft at the Army and Navy Club. the
captain acted SO peculiarly that they
took him into custody for observation.
The defense offered corroboratiye
testimony to advance its contention
that, while Chew was guilty of the Of
lenses charged, his entire psychology
was changed by his experiences in
France and he was not responsible for
his actions in October.

position OF the state senate, contain
ing many "holdover" members. This
showing that the affair has political,
angle warns outside observers to Dc
cautious in forming their judgments
upon charges and statements made
by parties to the quarrel. But the
assertion Of an outside Investigator
regarding the results or the Arkan-
sas road scheme In terms both Of
roads and OF taxation challenges the
attention Of good roads enthusiasts
eyerywhere-and particularly in the
South.
The plight OF Arkansas, even II 1t Is
as bad as described, need not and
should not discourage tho good roads
movement. But very certainly 1t en-
phasizes the need Of caution, careful
study and constructive planning both
for road taxation and road construc-
ton. Arkansas is neighbor to Louis
lana; her experience can be studied to
our own advantage and profit In this
matter Of good road development.
