In the present case, five Italian

from Mexico. The ultimatum was
rejected, and Italy to insure salts

1t was pointed out that there Is

ATLANTIC CITY GIRLS
CHARGED WITH ROBBERY

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 1S. -
Charged with the theft of diamonds
valued at several thousand dollars
two 10 year old girls, pretty and Nv
ing in a fashionable section here
were arraigned last night before
magistrate Joseph Paxson.
The defendants are Helen Kelly
and Frances Hathaway. Fashionaply
gowned and laughing merrily, they
were brought to the court from
city hall. They regarded the pro-
ceedings with such apparent lack OF
personal interest that many present
thought they were spectators.
The girls were held under $4,000
bail each. They will be arraigned
again today before Judge William H.
Smathers, at special sessions.
The jewelry was stolen from the
Hathaway home, and the complaint
against the girls was made by Mrs.
Rose Hathaway, mother of one OF
the defendants.
No bondsmen appeared for the
girls, and they were returned to the
jail.

OLD BRIDGE, Sept. 13:-Consid-
cradle interest is taken in the pro-
posed ship canal project to run from
Morgan to Bordentown, by e
owners In this vicinity. In accord
anee with a decision reached by The
State Board of Commerce and Navi-
CATION at their hearing in Trenton
OH Tuesday, local committees of land
owners are busy arranging a series
of public meetings to discuss their
point of view in the situation.
Georgt w. DeVoe, who with agdele-
cation of Spotswood landowners was
present at the hearing, said this
morning that tentative action is
planned by the interested partieA
and with this in mind, the commit
tees are To hold the meetings with

be held here, Spotswood and IIel
meta, as a large number of land
owners hold rights to the waterway
frontage proposed for acquisition by
the state engineers.
William l.. Strong, president of the
Old Bridge Enameled Tile Works,
said. this morning that the indus
tries are keen for the realization
of the caral The few plants locat-
ed in this district use water ship
mems to a great extent and eon-
sequently the products have to be
hauled to New Brunswick for ship
ment by water from that point.
Il would save a great deal OF
money in shipping the products
through the new canal, Mr.. Strong
said. ard III his opinion an influx
of now industries would be the re-
suit Of the completion of the canal.
"This part of New Jersey would
certainly sec some progress" Mr..
Strong assured. He is also of the
opinion that many of the larger land
holders would be willing to part
with a strip of land for the canal,
although smaller property owners
would require that some amount be
paid to them for land acquired. p.
j. Rocks was of the same opinion
offered whatever little land he
had at the price he paid six years
ago and possibly less.
There seems to be an unanimous
belief that the canal project will
mean much to the people here. 1t
would benefit a long abandoned
which interested little the
commercial field in the long years
past. The many swamp lands To-
Gated along the Ch%eesequake strip
will have extraordinary value, in

the land required from the land
owners gratis is received here with
