difficult one of the quartet to place.
she has explained her first interest

by the death of her brother, Ernest
Moore, in service in France. 1t was
her determination to make a fight on

tesulted in her election to the state

1t is only a. closer investigation of

DEEP TUNNELED
RAILWAY PLANNED
New York-New Jersey Com
mission Proposes Relief to
Freight Congestion.
BELTS THE WATERFRONT
System for Depositing Goods at
Wharves According to Con.
signment.

NEW YORK. January e4.--A plan
devised to bring every railway en-
tering New York and New Jersey
port cities into direct touch with
every water front in New York har-
Dor VIII be presented to the gov
ernors of the two states in the form
OF report by the New York-New
Jersey port and harbor commission.
1t was announced.
In addition. the commission out
lined an elaborate underground rail-
way system, which would be a con-
Meeting link between railroads in
n Do.n New Jersey and New York, by
means OF tunnel under the Hudson
river. for the purpose of facilitating
freight movements both in and out
of New York.
Belt Line System In View.
The first plan involves a belt line
system that would connect with all
the railroads on both sides of the
fronts and piers. From New Jersey
the proposed road would enter two
! tunnels. one across the upper bay
OF New York harbor to Brooklyn and
Long Island and the other to staten
Island.
Such a system. the commission says
| in its report, would facilitate freight
movement and relieve congestion
both in the railroad yards and on the
piers. Freight shipments received
| cording to the plan. would be placed
| upon the belt lines and taken to the
proper water front for transfer to
ships. The same would be true of
freight shipments entering New
York.
Below Subway Level.
The system of an underground cleo
trio railway, built two levels below
the present subway systems, Is novel
and original. the commission stated.
Freight entering New Jersey points
destined for New York. would be TAX
en- from the original cars at a gen.
eral yard and placed on board the
electric cars. These are designed 50 rs
not to require a train crew to run
them.
The cars would be dispatched from
New Jersey across the river to Man
haitian, where they would go around
a loop. stopping at a station nearest
to the point to which their particular
freight would be consigned. At these
stations they would be lifted to the
surface by elevators.
The same system would be used for
the railroads entering the New York
side. -
Would Eject Big Car Saving.
In commenting upon the scheme, the
commission estimated that the two
plans would effect a saving Of ~22.70o.-
900 car days a year for the railroads
and shippers. t' "a. s-.i~.
The capacity of the present freight
system Of New York was said to be
5000. 900 tons annually. The commits
sion believes the new plan would in
crease the capacity to 14,000.000 tons.

The chemical engine on the premises was useless on account of being frozen and the two others which responded to the alarm. could not raise streams high enougM to be effective when they got into' action after considerable delay. D. s. San ford proprietor of the school, has been very unfortunate in the matter of fires, the record of his previous losses comprising three large barns and building used for school pur-
 poses. All the fires were apparent ly accidental in their origin.
 The series of petty burglaries which has become regular winter feature in this town, are again under way. In the latter part of last week it was discovered that the George Rus sell house and the summer cottage or the Chomley-Jones brothers, both a, short distance below Pine Tree Cor ner, had been broken into and ran sacked.

She made no effort to give an alarm un- til assured that the callers had de- parted when search disclosed the fact that the cellar door had been forced and a. bag of charcoal and several jars carried off. Some of the neighbors then made an effort to trail the burglars, but without result. On the following evening the members of the Mems Club discussed and for mally gave their indorsement to pro- posed legislation for creating a small police force by which, as they un- derstand it. is meant a state con sta,bulary. having quarters at various | points from which police agents can | be obtained in cases of emergency. l Last winter a dozen or more unoc- | cupied houses in the town were brok- | on into and robced and in no instance were the offenders apprehended.
