Mayor Brown,
Chief Severyns,
Inspector O'Bricn:
You have done lot of talking this week
about cleaning up the police department.
Well, start in! The record of recent days
shows the need.
Begin righting matters at the TOP. Your
official city car, chief was stolen from you
while you were using it. during the evening,
for family pleasure purposes. The Star isn't
disposed to be picayunish, but remember
one of the mayors most-often-repeated
campaign promises was that none of his Off
cial family should ever If he were elected,
use city cars for private errands.
If you, chief, start off by violating this
pledge, what can you expect of your subor-
dinates.
And, chief, your department let tawdry.

heart of the business section. blocking sew
eral important streets, and professed it
didn't know a thing about it until public
cIamor arose. Perhaps it didn't know, but
some of its individual traffic men, who la
bored with the resulting congestion on
Fourth ave-, ought to have had some idea.
And aren't there patrolmen on Union, Fifth
and Sixth?
Today comes grand climax, when an
auto load of officers, including one of your
own special Investigators, careens at crimi-
nal speed thru the downtown streets and
crashes into street car. These men, it ap-
pears, are the chief victims of their own act
but only chance saved innocent citizens
from death and injury.
You are right, Messrs. Brown, Severyns
and o O'Brien, about the need for police de-
partment upheaval. Go ahead and make it.

TALK POLITICS
At So. AMbOY
Many Names Mentioned on
Both Sides in Contest for
Mayor This Fall

SOUTH AMBOY. June 29.-After
much speculation as TO who the lie
publican party would endorse tor
mayor in the coming election, the
name of G.. Frank Disbrow. now
councilman of the fourth ward and
hat of James X. Hackett. former
councilman of that ward. and who
also ran on the Republican ticket
for mayor against the late Thomas
j. Scully, are mentioned, as was the
name of Elias Mason. well known
business man of this city. who was
elected for a term as o in this
county several years ago.
Councilman Disbrow will positive
ly run in the mayoralty contest in
the fall. The councilman has reach
ed his decision and stated nothing
would interfere with his plans al
ready worked out.
Just who the Democratic party
will place before the voters. is as
yet unknown. but the names of the
present acting Mayor Michael j.
Stanton and Patrick Fallon as we'll
as Leo j. Coakley. a well known
lawyer of this city. As to the pcs
sibility of Mr.. Fallon running, it is
safe TO say that gentleman will con-
fine his interest TO the freeholder
race where he awaits word from the
county machine, as to whether or
not they a him TO run again this
fall.
1t is believed that within a short
time both tickets will be completed.
Besides electing a mayor the vot-
ers of the city will be called upon
to fill places in the third and second
ward, for councilmen and also in the
fourth ward. which will be vacated
if Councilman Disbrow resigns to
enter the race for mayor.
The names of many of the young
men of the city have been advanced
as likely candidates for the council
jobs. but in each instance those
named had denied giving any
thought to the matter, and in more
than one case the parties stated they
would not run this year.
For the fourth ward contest TO
fll the unexpired Term of Council
man Disbrow, on the Democrat side
is advanced the name of Simon K.
Skow, who made a very encouraging
showing az the last election, when
he cut down the Republican major
ity when he opposed Mr.. Disbrow.
For the Republican side. comes the
name of Frank Hackett, son OF
James Hackett who is looked up
on by many as a very strong can

BOOMS ALLIED INDUSTRY

ATLANTIC CITY. June 29:-The
dam has burst" in the building and
construction industry in the United
states and operations which have
been delayed months and years have
now started with a rush which is
flooding industry with orders of an
unprecedented size. Coincidentally
the unemployment problem is ceas-
ing to be a problem and in the last
three months thousands of men who
have been idle have been given work
on the construction of buildings of
all kinds and the building OF roads.
This opinion was expressed yes
terday by officers of the Portland
Cement Association. which is meet
ing in Hotel Traymore with repre-
s~entatives of eighty-fve manufac-
turers in various parts of the coun-
try in attendance. II was pointed
out that construction activity is
synonymous with activity in nearly

ment in demand. but steel. lumber.
