LEAGUE FORMS

Will Encourage Americana
eaton Work Among Jews

A meeting of about twenty-five
Jewish young men was held last
night in the grill room of the New
Packer House for the purpose OIL
forming a non-partisan civic league
for the Jewish young men OF the
city. 1t was decided to call this new
organization the Jewish Civic League
and specialize in a study of CIVIC
problems.
A temporary organization was eff
fected, consisting of Harry s.. Medi-
nets. chairman; DR.. Benjamin $40
bodien, first vice president; Henry
Polkowitz, second vice PRESIDENT;
Morris Goddard. corresponding sec
rotary; Isadore Jacobsen, treasurer
and Leo Lowenkopf, DIR. Leo Solow
and Irving Goldstein. trustees. Per-
manent officers will be elected at an
other meeting to be held in the near

and adoption of a constitution Will

The aim of the league, according
to Chairman Medinets, will be to
encourage Americanization work
among the Jewish people by assist
ing foreign Jews in becoming citi-
zens and helping those who already
are citizens to better appreciate the
full value of citizenship. The league
will endeavor to place the American
Jewish citizenship on a high plane
and at the same time combat pro-
paganda of anti-Jewish nature by
educating the public as to the true
and lofty ideals of Jewish life and
standards. The league. if occasion
so requires, will endeavor to create
sentiment against such legislation as
the Bible bill, submitted during the
last legislature, Chairman Medinets
said.
The members of the league last
night went unanimously on record
as opposing the Bible bill. 1t was

ton of the road and the company
would be unable to finance all three
undertakings at the same time, the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, at a
hearing before the Public Utility
Commission in Newark yesterday
asked a postponement on action on
the proposed elimination of grade
crossings in the city of Elizabeth.
The hearing yesterday was called
to determine whether the board
should decide the question of elimin-
ating the grade crossings on the rec
ords of the former hearings or re-
open the case for the taking of adj
ditional testimony.
Following an argument by City
Attorney Joseph T. Hague against
any further delay, the board decid
ed to hold a hearing in its Newark
Office November 20, at which time
the records of former hearings on
the elimination question will be ad-
mitted in testimony and new testi-
mony taken.
President Harry v. Osborne pre-
siding said the next hearing will
be for the purpose of determining
whether it would be reasonable to
order the company to eliminate
grade crossings in downtown Efiz-
abeth, at the same time work is go
ing on in the rebuilding of the New
ark Bay bridge, eliminating grade
crossings in Perth Amboy and pos
sibly similar crossings in Somerville.

financial question and the possibil-
done.
c E. Miller. an attorney repre-
senting the railroad company
pointed out that in December, 1916,
the railroad submitted plans for the
elimination of grade crossings in
Scmerville and in March, 1917, pre-
scented plans for eliminating those
in Elizabeth, but that the war
stopped all action. At the pres
emit time. he added. the company
is commencing to eliminate grade
crossings in Perth Amboy pursue
art to the order of the board and
an act passed by congress makes
it necessary to start the construc~
ton of the Newark Bay bridge by
February 16, 1928, provided the
pans are approved Dy tHe war LIE
partment.
Declaring the bridge will cost
$4,000. 900 and the Perth Amboy
elevation $1,000 900, he said. The
company can stand no more. al
though I know the utility commits
sion is given power by law to put
any railroad on its back"
With a 6,000-foot bridge under
construction and the elimination
work under way at Perth Amboys
Mr.. Miller said that the road would
be tied up and it wouldn't be able
to manage If the elimination in
Elizabeth also is injected. The last
few years had shown a great in
crease in traffic over the Long
Branch division, he said, making it
essential to revise the plans submit
ted in 1917, as the present -condi-
tions are different from those exist
ing then.

Act III

Act III
The breath of scandal. But the
slain church people are held blame
less. The mystery grows. Officers
OF the two counties make little prog
ress. Mrs. Hall and James Mills are
questioned: also Willie Stevens, the
brother-in-law of the dead pastor,
and young Charlotte Mills. 1t is
learned that Mrs. Hall visited her
husbands church at 2 o'clock On
the morning the bodies were found.
Mills also visited the church about
that time. She sought her husband;
he vas seeking his wife-but they
did not meet. Mrs. Hall says her
brother, Willie Stevens, was with
her. But a Waterman says he saw
her returning home alone that fatal
morning, The murdered pair have
been buried, without an autopsy.
The mystery grows.
Act III
Charlotte Mills. the daughter Of
the murdered woman, becomes the
pursuer; she appeals to the governor
of the state for aid in solving the
mystery. Governor Edwards orders
out the state police. Search for the
murderer begins in earnest. The
bodies are exhumed and an autopsy
furnishes clews. Willie Stevens Is
subjected to an all-night grilling-
without result.
Act Nv

spectacular role. 1t is announced

ing that Rev. Mr.. Hall and Mrs.
Mills were killed by Clifford Hayes,
young ex-sailor-by mistake! A
case of mistaken identity, he says.
Schneider informs police that Hayes
accompanied him to help protec;
Pearl from her father, Nicholas Bah
mer-and that Hayes, shooting al
the pair in the meadow, thought they
were Pearl and her father. Hayes,
arrested on a murder charge. denies
his guilt. Pearl and Schneider arr
held as witnesses, and BANNER Is
arrested on a serious charge mad
by Pearl.

This is the last act-but 1t has not
