AMbOY AVENUE
CHANGES MADE
Revision of Plans Perfected
at Conference Between
Booz and Engineers

Several changes for the improve
ment of the proposed new roadway
for Amboy avenue in the vicinity
Of the Barger Asphalt plant, were
perfected yesterday at a conference
in Trenton between City Engineer
Louis T. Booz, Jr., and Division
Construction Engineer r. d. Rob-
bins of the State Highway Depart
ment. The revision of the plans
for this roadway was made necessary
when It was found il would be i'm
possible to complete the job as
originally laid out without the addi-
tiona. use OF cinders for the foun-
dation in the paving of the road
Several distinct changes were
made in the plans, all of which were
agreed to by Mr.. Booz and Mr.. Rob-
bins as being necessary for the sue
cessful construction of the thorough
fare. The two engineers are now
working on the cost of the proposed
improvements and this will be sub
mitted to the highway commission
at an early date. Among the i'm
proyements arrived at are:
The elimination of the proposed
rubble gutter and in the place the
l4sLalia non ol Il Stdnudfu gutter anu
curb thus giving pedestrians a place
to walk and eliminating the danger
of accidents from persons walking n
the roadway.
The laying of 3 cinder sub-base in
order to obtain suitable drainage,
due TO the spongy condition of the
present fill.
Placing of bitches at foot OF slopes
where excessive cuts are made 10
prevent drainage from the side
slopes crossing the sidewalks.
Raising the grade off the road ror
a distance of about 2, 900 feet to get
better drainage conditions and make
the road high enough so as not tc
receive the overflow Of water from
the old road.
Under the plans as perfected b,
the engineer, it is intended to ALLOW
the present contractor to continu
the work under a supplemental
agreement if he agrees to do th'
work at the price arrived upon b.
the engineers it is intended to allow
the road finished within fifty work
ing days from Nav ] which is tn,
time set in the contract.

GREAT GERMAN PROTEST

BERLIN, April 5 (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-Column Of protests
and denials in connection with the
shootings at the Krupp plant in Es-
sen last Saturday are printed in to-
days Berlin newspapers upon their
temperance for the first time since
Sunday morning, on account of the
Easter holidays. Special dispatches
from the Ruhr stoutly maintain that
the workers did nothing which war
ranted the French shooting and that
the factory management was inno-
cent of any agitation of the laborers
such as would justify the arrest yes
terday of four of the Krupp direc-
tors.

Markings for Cocktails
On Boat off SeWdren,
But OF oyster Variety

The captain is reported to have
yelled back that he wanted to tie up,
but for some reason he did not, and
still remained a short distance from
shore. Although the patrol might
be able to climb telegraph poles,
navigate corners at a reckless
speed and run into other cars with
out doing much damage the driver
did not think it advisable to try to
navigate the water out to the ves-
sell so the call was sent forth asked
the captain, what he had on. board.
The answer when it came back
was just what the cops expected
that the vessel carried the makings
for cocktail but even at that there
was keen disappointment expressed
when it was found that the cock
tails for which the makin's carried
was oyster.
1t seems that the vessel is one of
those used in local waters in the
oyster trade and that the captain
of the boat was searching for a
place to tie up for the night when
the report was spread that a cargo
of booze was about to be landed.
The police returned to headquarters
considerably disappointed.

Smith st. Taxpayers

A resolution was adopted last
night by the aldermen authorizing
the street and sewers committee to
advertise for bids on Lehigh Park
sewer system, same to be received
on Monday night, April Is at >
o'clock. City Engineer Booz has
been at work for several weeks max
ing changes to the original layout
of the sewer system upon which
bids were received last year, but re-
1ected owing to their being consid-
cred too high. The plans have now
been completed and estimates for
the laying of these much advocated
sewers will be received in two weeks.
The residents in the Lehigh Park
section of the city have petitioned
the aldermen frequently for sewers
the conditions of the streets being
in a deplorable condition as the re-
suit of no sewers being laid in that
vicinity.
Bids were received for certain
plumbing work at the Mcclellan ire
house, the contract being awarded
to Daniel f. Dwyer, the lowest bid

PRIEST SHOT BY
FIRING SQUAD.
Soviet Government Carries
Out Execution of Monsig-
nor Butchkavitch

MOSCOW, April 3.-(By The As
sociated ss).-Monsignor Con-
stantine Butchkavitch, viear-general
of the Roman Catholic Church In
Russia. condemned to death for will
fully opposing the Soviet Govern
ment, has been executed by firing
squad.
The fate of the prelate. in doubt
since last Thursday when his appeal
for clemency was denied, became
known today when it was announced
that the death sentence had been
carried out last Saturday.
The secrecy that surrounds Soviet
executions makes uncertain circum-
stances under which the sentence
was executed, but it seems probable
that Monsignor Butchkavitch was
put to death in the Moscow Prison
for the Condemned to which he had
been removed after the reprieVe was
refused him.
Appeals from the outside world
which had poured in upon the Soviet
authorities had no effect in staying
the hand of their eXecutioners.
Competent opinion, indeed, is that
even the breaking off of diplomatic
relations by outside governments or
a. threat of war would not have
moved the Moscow officials from
their course. Their last word in the
case had been spoken, it appears,
when they commuted to ten years
Imprisonment the death sentence
upon Archbishop Zepliak, convicted
at the same time as Vicar General
Butchkavitch.
The prelate who has been put to
death was Father Superior of the
Church of st. Catherine in Petro-
grad. He held the title of Prelate
to His Holiness, granted by the Pope
for special services. He was nfty,
five years old. He came from an ola
and wealthy family of Polish origin,
although he himself was a Russian
citizen.
Monsignor Butchkavitch was q
conspicuous figure in the trial OF the
Catholic prelates and priests at
which he appeared bald-headed'
rosy-faced and bespectacled ana ne ne
bore himself with marked serenity
throughout that ordeal, which re-
suited in death sentences for him.
