Now just a word as to the accom-
plishnent Of tn. State Highway De-
partment Time does not permit in an
address Of this nature of a careful an
alysis of tho various undertakings of
the dcpa rtment. A general summary
or bird s-eye view Of what has been
done may be helpful at this time.
Since the organization of the High
way Commission in 1913 the commits
sion has constructed o05253 miles Of
road. a gross expenditure of SlG.-
151.923.11. or At an average cost per
mile of sIS12.l9. The records Of the
commission show that OF this o,O5o.53
miles of read 1906 miles have been
what might be called OF permanent
type Of construction. namely. Portland
cement concreta. bituminous macadam M
granite block. wood block and brick
and of this permanent work 3209
miles have been built under the aus
pces of State aid. that is to say. upon
the initiative Of the municipal officers
of the various cities and towns. and on
the State highways there have been
built 1851 miles of permanent road.
Ninety-one Per Cent Gravel
1t is thus seen that of the total
mileage constructed less than nine per

the balance. a little more than 81 per
cent. has been of gravel surface con

will be appealed and said the ma
tional should adopt its course ac~
cordingly.
He told congress that If the statn.
tory provisions for prohibition ems
forcement are contrary to deliberate
public opinion which he does not be.
lieve, they should take the necessary
action to amend same.
Such a course, he added, conforms
with the law and saves the humllias
tion of the government and the hf<
world and challenges the destruc-
tive forces engaged in widespread
violation and individual demoralIza-
ton.
With regard to transportation
problems he proposed that the rail-
road labor board be abolished with
the substitution of labor division
in the Interstate Commerce Cons
mission with ample power to re-
quire its ruling to be accepted by
both parties to a disputed questions
He also proposed that the law res
quire the carrier and their employer
to institute means to negotiate bee
tween themselves their CONSTANTLY
arising differences limiting appeaix
to the government body to disputes
of such character as are likely "a
effect the public welfare.
Coordination of transportation Ia
oilities was urged. These would fils
clude not only inland waterways
but motor truck transportation az
well. As to the carriers themselves
he suggested as ways of increased
economy and efficiency there be 4
merger OF lines into systems, interS
change of freight cars, the consoli.
: dation of facilities and the econoiniu
use of terminals He declared tho
managers of the lines are without
the carriers relationship necessary
for economical success.
More extended credit for the far
mers was strongly urged by the
president who declared that the sue
cess Of present help given is an ex-
ample in favor of it.
Two constitutional Amendments
were proposed, one would give cor
gress authority over child labor and
the other would restrict the issueS
of tax exempt securities which arc
declared to be drying up the soHr-
ces of federal taxation and encourae-

SCHNEIDER ON
WITNESS STAND
New Brunswick Man Charged
With Perjury, Admits Sign
ing "ConfesSion" Against
Friend .,

NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. s.
Charged with perjury in connection
with his so-called confession" in
which. he 4eaffi Clifford Hayes MUIR
-dered Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall
and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills,
Raymond Schneider of this city,
took the stand in his own behalf this
morning following the completion
of the states. case against him yes
terday afternoon. The court room
was filed to capacity with those in
terested in the case today and it
seemed likely that the defense's
case would be completed early this
afternoon and the evidence in the
case turned over to the jury.
Statements made by Schneider on
the stauL this morning were contra
dictory to those made by detectives
and other witnesses called by the
state yesterday afternoon. He ad-
mitted signing the confession"
charging Hayes, his friend. with the
murders, but said he had done so
only after considerable coaxing by
Detective Totten. of Somerset coun-
ty, an all-night ordeal at the hands
of the detectives and hours of eX-
treme pain caused by an infected
finger
Assistant Prosecutor Toolan in
conducting his cross-eXa mination of
Schneider at noon today completely
broke down the story which the de-
fendant had told this morning, the
admissions of Schneider being such
as to signify he will change his plea
when the case was continued this
afternoon. Schneider admitted un-
der the unmerciful cross examina-
ton of the assistant prosecutor that
the affidavit which he signed was
merely a collection of fabrications
which he had thought up in hopes
that the authorities would release
him and he would be able to get
away from New Brunswick. He ad-
mitted that Hayes story of the
words which had passed between
them when they met on the after
noon before Schneider made his
confession" was true and that he
had lied in giving his version of the
incident.
Schneider's acknowledgment dur
ing the cross-exa mintion of his guilt
in telling untruths in accusing the
detectives OF forcing statements
from him by threats of violence re-
suited in the general opinion that
he would this afternoon retract his
plea of not guilty to the charges.
The state had not finished its case
against Schneider when adjourn
is high misdemeanor and punish
able by not more than seven years
in prison.

Guarantees Against Surprise
Attacks Asked at the
DardaneIIes

LAUSANNE, Dec. S.-(By The
Associated Press)-Turkey presented
to the Near East conference today
counter suggestions concerning con-
troll of the straits of the Dardanellas
and the Bospheros. The Turks ask:
Guarantees against surprise at
tacks from land or sea threatening
the security of the straits, of Con-
stantinople or of the Sea of. Mar
mora.
Limitation of naval forces bound
for the Black Sea SO that they will
not constitute a danger to the ore
extending between the two straits to
the Black Sea. Turkey expresses
the view that these forces might be
composed of light warships employ
ed for the protection of international
comm erces
Introduction upon the maintenance
of warships in the Black Sea.
Limiting of passage for merchant
men in time of peace and war.
The conference took a recess until
afternoon to give the allies time to
;tudy the Turkish suggestions. Some
of the European delegates expressed
the opinion that the points raised
by the Turks should not make a
final accord difficult.
During the session Foreign Minis
ter Tchiteherin of Russia again in
sisted that the straits should be
closed to all except Turkish war;
ships. He believed, he said, that
the setti2g Up of buffer states like
Turkey should prevent future clashes
in the east.
Tchitcherin warned Roumania
against accepting the allied plan
saying Roumania would meet the
same fate as Greece-that is. be a
sport of the great powers only to be
abandoned afterward.

CANAL FOR n. J.
IS CHIEF TOPIC
At CONVENTION
Congressman Appleby Tells of
Bill introduced Calling for
an Appropriation
TELLS OF WORK DONE
To Get Waterway, But Sees
Delay of Several Years Be-
fore Plan is Realized

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The pro-
posal for building a canal across the
state of New Jersey to connect the
Delaware river with New York har-
bor, to complete the inland waterway
from the Gulf to Canada, was the
principal subject discussed at the
annual meeting here yesterday OF
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways AS
sociation.
Among those attending were May
or William f. Donnelly. of Trenton;
Representative II. Frank Appleby OF
A sbury Park, Representatives. iect
George N. Seger of Passaic and Miles
Beemer, secretary of the Atlantic
City Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Donnelly of Trenton, who
first brought the Jersey State canal
plan into public prominence about
twelve years ago, told the gathering
that the need for the canal was
greater today than it was when nrst
the scheme was suggested and tnat
the importance of putting through
the project was increasing year by
year. -.
Mr.. Donnelly. who is vice presl-
dent of the association, SAID the CT
ganiation was still firmly back OF
the plan and urged that there be no
relaxation of the effort to have con-
gress adopt the project and appfo'
priate to have it carried out.
Representative Appleby said he
was a firm believer in the import
ance of the project. Within month
after he came to congress first, two
wears ago. he said, he introduced a
bill to appropriate one million dol
lars to be applied to the construction
of a 12-foot Jock canal across the
state of New Jersey to connect the
Delaware river at or near Borden
town, N, J., with New York harbor
by way of Raritan Bay.
His bill provides for total ap-
preparation of $9,000,000 for the
building of the canal by the federaI
government, he said, the sum not to
he expended until after the state OIL
New Jersey or other local parties
have furnished a right of way. ana
release from all water power dam
ages. The canal is to be twelve
feet deep and ninety feet wide at
the bottom.
"Au possible pressure has been
brought to bear on congress Tor the
past two years to get the plan adopt,
ed" said Mr.. Appleby, "but Il wlll
take several years perhaps, with a
campaign of education. before con-
gress will adopt it and make the ap-
preparation"
Mr.. Appleby urged that as soon as
he steps out of congress on March
4, 1928, the association have some
other New Jersey member introduce
a, bill similar to his and that the
whole force of the New Jersey dele
cation in congress be put back "f It.
TT may take years more OF CON
sistent and untiring effort to pu'
this plan through" added Mr.. Apple
by, "but in the end the beneht that
will be derived by the state OF New
Jersey will be well worth the efort
expended"

4 IRISH REBELS
ARE EXECUTED
Rory 0'Connor and Liam
MeIIoWs With Two Others
Rebels Die at Dublin

DUBLIN, Dec. (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Rory O'Connor and
Liam Mellowes, together with two
other Irish rebels. were executed an
Mount Joy prison this morning. II
was officially announced today.
The two other men executed were
named Joseph McKelvey and Rich
ard Barrett, both prominent Ike
publicans.
An official army report states that
the four men were executed as a
reprisal for the assassination of
Sean Hales, their deputy shot yes
terday, and as a solemn warning to
those associated with them in the
conspiracy of assassinations against
the representatives of the Irish
people" ~,
The prisoners were tried by mill
tary court martial during the night,
found guilty and sent to death.
The death sentence was carried
out at $3.50 O'Clock this morning.
Three priests were present. The pr1s-
oners, blindfo1ded, were marched to
the place Of execution. OConnor
had to be assisted to the scaffold.
The startling swiftness with which
the Free State government acted in
consequence of the assassination OF
Deputy Hale caused great sensa-
tion among Dubliners.
Through today's executions The 1r-
regulars lost two of their principal
leaders and two other important,
although less known men. All four
surrendered after the destruction OIL
the Four courts.
Three of the four most noted Irish
irregulars have now paid the price
of their war against the Free state,
Erskine Childers, Rory O'Connor and
Liam Mellowes. Eamon dValera
still is at large.
Mellowes was secretary to the old
military executive, while O'Connor
was the head of that body and was
generally credited with the leader
ship of the armed movement against
the treaty.
Richard Mulcahy, the mirist~r OF
defense, on behalf of the arty coun-
Gil, issued a proclamation today
which read:
"a conspiracy exists to aSSasS1nate
the members of the nations parlia-
ment and already has claimed two
victims. To safeguard the lives OF
the peoples representatives to safe
guard the life of the nation itself
the sternest measures are neces-
sary."
Rory O'Connor was an engineer
in the service of the Dublin Corpora
ton and received pay during his So
journ in Jail. Land mines wers
found in his cell when the outbreaks
occurred in Mount Joy prison.
Mel1owes was a member of the
last Dali Eireann. McKeelvey was
a Belfast man from the Fall dis
trict. When the split in the army
occurred he sided with the execu-
tive forces. Military circles in Bel
fast regarded him as a stormy petre.
Barrett was a quartermaster from
| West Cork.

ber of months again appeared We'd
nesday night and made an unwel-
come visit at the home of Mrs.
Anna L. Osborn of Main street. For
the past few nights he apparently
has not made his usual rounds and
the borough was hopeful that he
had ceased operations. However,
on Wednesday night at about 1880
O'clock Mrs. Osborn and daughter
Helen were seated in their living
room when a terrific bang on the
window pane brought them to the
realization that the peeper was
again busy. He also made several
hard raps on the cellar door and
then disappeared.
Miss Osborn Immediately tele-
phoned Horace S. Burrowes her
next door neighbor who with
George Dingwall made athorough
search of the Osborn grounds and
as they neared some shrubbery in
the rear yard they saw man run
down toward Kearney street. Mr.
Dingwall was close on his trail and
when he was about to grasp the
man Mr.. DingwaIl had the misfort-
une to full over the wire trellis and

The pepper seems to have been
born under a lucky star as he has
been able to make a getaway every
time without being positively recog-
nized and has also had several
close shaves from being shot. AS

force, was Immediately notified aud
Mr.. Mount stated that he had spent
many hours in the section visited
by the peeper and had been unable
to locate him at any time.
Indignant citizens of the borough
are demanding the capture of this
annoying person. While his actions
are those of an inebriate and he
confines them to merely looking in
windows, ringing the door bells or
tapping against the window it is ex-
tremely annoying as well as star
ting to receive an unexpected visit
in such a manner.
A number of people are advo-
eating securing bloodhounds 10

practically the only method by
which he can be successfully cap
