JAMAICA BAY CHANNEL
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

WASHINGTON. day 2S:-Thc
rivers and harbors bill passed by
the House authorizes the completion
of the thirty-foot channel in Jamai-
ca bay where New York state and
city are building almost an entirely
new port, and provides for survey
and investigation by the army engi-
neers of the Hudson river channel,
along the waterfront of Weehawken
and Edgewater. N. j., with view to
providing a depth of 40 feet.
The investigation and survey CT
the Hudson river channel, along the
Weehawken and Edgewater water
fronts, will be made by the army
engineers during this summer and
reports made to congress this fall.
If the report is favorable to the i'm
provement it is probable that con-
gress will pass legislation at the
next session providing for carrying
out the work along lines recon-
mended by the engineers.
The building of the new loading
and unloading basin in Jamaica bay
is being undertaken Jointly by the
city of New York, the state and by
the federal government. The bill
passed today modifies the previous
act which provided for digging an
IS foot channel the full twelve miles
of the waterway and provides now
that the channel shall be dug 80
feet deep up to Mill Basin. Congress
had provided for digging an is foot
depth the whole twelve miles but
New York City dug Is feet deep for
the four and one half miles from
Mill Basin to the end of the chan
mel. This bill provides that the city
shall be reimbursed by the federal
government.

Acting upon orders from Chief of
Police Niels ]. Tonnesen, Sergeant
George Kozusko last night closed UP
several alleged gambling devices
that were being operated at the ba-
Ear in progress on the lot opposite

pices of the Eagle Hose Company.
The devices put out of commits
sion by the police are described in
the sergeant's, report as two fash
light wheels and two other rotary
wheels that were throwing arrows"
In commenting on the action this
morning Chief Tonnesen said his
men had strict orders to watch the
booths closely and instantly close
any device that appeared to be a
gamble. Games of skill do not
ccme under the ban, however. Any
device that permits a customer to
benefit by his own skill is perfectly

DEEP CHANNEL
To SANDY HOOK
Dredge Now at Work in Local
Waters to be Here All
Summer
NOW NEAR NO. 10 BUOY
Government Dredge Raritan
at Work Here Boost for
Local Shipping

Those who have chanced to be
along the water front in the early
morning have seen a large black
steamer, similar to an ocean freight
or. lying in the vicinity of the Great
Beds Light. The steamer seems to
remain motionless for a time and
then slowly steam down the bay to
Sandy Hook. This vessel is the gov
ernment dredge Raritan. which has
been working night and day during
the past seven or eight weeks dredg-
ing the channel of the bay from
Sandy Hook to No. 10 bouy. when
Is located just this side of Sea Breeze
point.
The dredge began working about
eight weeks ago at Sandy Hook and
since that time has been working
up the bay until it has reached the
vicinity of the Great Beds light. For
four weeks the dredge worked In
the lower bay and it made its first
appearance here about three or foul
weeks ago. 1t is estimated by those
who are acquainted with dredging
operations that it will take the YES
sci all summer to complete the work
of dredging out the channel.
The Raritan is one of the latest
types of dredges in use py the gov
ernment. In operation this dredge
sucks or pumps the mud rom the
channel into the ship and when NIL
ed steams to sea where the mud is
dumped. Each morning, according
to information obtained along the
water front today the vessel steanls
from Sandy Hook to the Great Beds
light, sucks mud continually, when
the light is reached the vessel turns
and again sucks or pumps mud un-
til it reaches Sandy Hook, at which
time it is loaded and ready to steam
for the dumping grounds seVerai
miles out to sea.
Although nothing official could be
learned, it has been said in various
quarters that the vessel is dredging
a thirty foot channel from 20. ~
bouy to Sandy Hook, the channel IL
be 400 feet wide. At the present
time the channel is twcnty-six feet
deep and 800 feet wide. After the
dredging is completed. it Is said. that
much larger vessels will be able to
come in here than at the present
time. The thirty foot channel IN
the bay will connect with .he thirty
five foot channel in the Staten Is
land Sound, it is said.

Still Working Ouertine
To Produce Liquor Is
Seized Here By Police

cles in connection with the manu-
featuring plant were found all over
the house. Bottles were taken from
beneath a lounge, mash and grain
from the cellar. and the various
other things from as many different
portions of the residence. The mash
barrels were Immediately rendered
unfit for further use by pouring a
quantity of kerosene in each barrel.
The remainder of the confiscated
material was removed to headquar-
ters. About ten gallons of liquor
in the still was thrown out this
morning after samples had been
taken for use as evidence.
The raid was made possible
through the action of Mrs. Ike
Germs, of 100 Broad street, who ap-
peared in Chief Tonnesen's Office last
night about Z o'clock and showed
him a half pint bottle of white
liquor that she alleged had been pur-
chased at the Witak home. Mrs.
Germs said her husband had
been drinking the stuff and had be-
come so i'll he was unfit and unable
to work.
Chief Tonnesen had the woman
tell Recorder Pickersgill her story
and the judge Immediately issued
a search warrant to the city mar
shall. The raid was conducted at
once and the still was found in op-
Grafton.

BELFAST. May % (By The As
ISOLATED Press) Hundred OF OH
GERS of the Irish Republican army
were arrested by the Ulster authori-
ties today in a surprise roundup,
which covered the entire six coun-
ties. Many were taken from bed.
Some estimates placed the number

Republican army, Irish Republican
Brotherhood, Irish Volunteers, the
Sim Fein, Girl Guides and Boy
Scouts were liable TO arrest and pros
eeution.

commenced at A. NJ. Homes were
visited by several hundred members
of the constabulary and a large staff
of officers.
Among those arrested in Ennis
killen was Capal Healy, member OF
the council. In Belfast, fifty-two
were arrested, but these did not in
clude any well known party leaders.
Absence of the Republicans from
their home is ascribed to anticipa-
ton of reprisals for the assassina-
ton of w. J. Twaddel, member of

MERGER FORMS
bAKE[|TE CORP.
Louis NJ. Rossi is Made Di-
rector Three Concerns
United by Action

officials of the General Bakelite
Company of this city made an
nouncement this morning of a re-
Gently completed merger that con-
solidates with the local concern two
other companies which have been
manufacturing a similar product.
The new organization will be
known as the Bake,ite Corporation
and will include the Redmanol
Chemical Products Company of Chi
cago and the Condensite COMPANY
of America. situated in Bloomfield.
Although the corporation is con-
trolled by the General Bakelite
Company by large majority of the
stock, it is understood that the two
other organizations will continue to
function practically as they stand
at present.
The merger of the three concerns
seems to be the result of conditions
the existence of which dates back TO
1912 when the Bakelite company
instituted suit against the Conden-
site concern for infringement on its
patents. The suit reached a settle
ment outside of court a year later
anu thCh III iS1s ahothSA dSiaOA "1S
started against the General Insulate
Company, which action was defend
ed by the Redmanol concern be-
cause the Insulate company was one
of the large users of the Redmanol
product.
A judgment was obtained by the
Bakelite company that enabled
them to collect substantial damages
from the defendant concern through
the Redmanol company which de-
Tended the action. The judgment
also restrained customers from
using the Redmanol product.
Then, rather than continue to
fight the infringing concerns
through the courts. decision was
reached to merge the three compa-
nies. Because of the geographical
locations of the other plants and
the markets that they had built up
1t was deemed advisable to continue
the operation of all three concerns.
The merger was effected on May 5.
1t is not considered likely that the
operating forces of any of the plants
viii be changed to any great extent.
The corporation will be run un-
der the direction of an operating
executive committee. This commit
tee is composed of DR.. Leo H. Back
