BIC BROTHER
MOVE PRAISED
Prosecutor Stricken in AID.
dressing Lions Club Make
Plea for Aid of Juveniles

Insanity from a legal standpoint
and Juvenile delinquency were the
subjects touched upon today at the
weekly luncheon of the Lions club
by Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricken,
who was the speaker on this occa-
sion. Mr.. Stricken took up the dis
cussion of insanity from the point
left off by DR.. William Il. Ramsay,
who spoke at the luncheon last week
concerning insanity from the medi-
cal standpoint. Mr.. Stricken told of
various cases in which insanity had
figured.
Turning then to juvenile delin-
quency, the prosecutor reviewed the
big brother movement, and held that
this movement is one of the best
that has been attempted to reclaim
the juvenile. He said that seventy
per cent of the children who get in
to trouble do SO by petty thefts and
the first thing they do after obtain
ing the money, il it amounts to any
considerable sum, is to buy a gold
watch, railroad ticket and go out for
a good time.
II the amount is not large. de-
clared Mr.. Stricken, the child d.
vides it up with friends and they buy
ice cream, candy, etc.
Several of the members of the
club were reported to be attending
the Lions Club convention in At
lantic City today.
Adolph Greenbaum was chairman
of today's session.

d KILLED., z INJURED
AS TRAIN HITS AUTO
tContinued from page u


The Union county authorities are
also conducting an investigation into
the tragedy and it was reported this
morning that a request might be
made from that county for an autop-
sy upon the bodies. The engineer of
the express train and the hagman
of the freight will be asked to make
sworn statements by Detective David
giving their accounts of how the ac-
cident occurred.
1t was learned that the freight
train which was standing near the
crossing did not in any way obscure
the view of the track on which the
express vas coming as the freight
had stopped on the west side of the
crossing and the express was APP
preaching from the east.
Circumstances surrounding the ac-
cident would indicate negligence on
the part of the driver, authorities
pointed out, and an investigation was
conducted in an effort to determine
whether or not he had been drink
ing. No trace of liquor or the odor
of drink was to be found, according
to Coroner Hillpot an dChief Nc
Carthy.
The bodies of the two occupants
who were killed instantly, Miss
Mounteney and Harry Nichols, the
driver, were found e the scene
of the crash. The other four, two
of whom still survive, were carried
along on the front of the engine.

TYPE
DRAW FAVORED
BY State Highway Commits.
sion for Bridge Over the
Raritan River Here

A swinging type of draw is being
favored by the State Highway Com
mission for the new bridge to be
constructed over the Raritan River
between this city and South Amboy
Many of those interested in shipping
and water activities have declared
that they desire the bascule lift type
but Clarence w. Hudson, the con-
sulting engineer. in a recent let
ter to Commissioner Abraham Jelir
declared that he favored the swing
type of draw for this particular
bridge. Among those who took up
the matter with Commissioner Je-
lin, concerning the type of draw to
be used was w. Frank Parker, a
former president of the New Bruins
wick Board of Trade.
Mr.. Jelin in a communication tc
the Board of Trade, declared that he
had made a personal investigation
of the matter and was completely In
accord with Engineer Hudson, thai
the type best fitted for the bridge
Is the swing draw. Mr.. Jelin points
out that because of the present
channel, two 120 feet spans are more
advisable than one of 200 feet and
that in view of the fact that the
bridge is to be twenty-eight feet
high, at least seventy-five per cent of
the traffic will pass under it with
out the necessity of swinging the
draw.
The most important part of the
whole structure is the draw, and the
general opinion held by those inter-
| ested is, that whatever draw will
give the quickest operation is the
! one that should be used. The neces-
sity of having a draw that will open
and close in the least possible time
is desirable not only from the point
of shipping but also to not hold up
the exceedingly heavy traffic using
route No. 4 of the state highways,
to and from the shore resorts.
Engineer Hudson in his report to
Commissioner Jelin gives six reasons
why the swinging type of draw. has
been designed for the new bridge.
Briefly these are as follows:
That the war department officers
have indicated that suitable navi-
cation interests insist on two open
ings, each opening to be suitable pro-
! tected by tenders. With the two OPP
| enings separated by considerable
space all danger of collision of YES
sells navigating in opposite directions
through the draw is removed. To
| give this with the lift type of draw
as well as a vertical clearance OF
twenty-eight feet, the span would
have TO be much wider.
That the cost of any type of draw
other than the swing type would
greatly exceed the cost of the swing
type of bridge.
That the cost of operation of 9TH
err types would greatly exceed that
of the swing type.
That the type of floor construction
on the swing type of bridge may be
the same as that on the bridge prop
err.
That a total of 10,074 vessels pass
ed through the bridge in a period
of two years and that with the new
swing type many of these vessel:
will pass under the bridge and il
need not be opened.
That a bascule type of bridge
shuts off the wind and tends to make
sailing vessels unmanageable.

NEW AUTO BUS LINE
PLANNED BY LOCAL MEN
Continued from page -

So far have the negotiations gone
that inspectors and engineers of
both the White Motor Company and
the Brill Car Company are soon
going owe the tracks 20 inspect the
curves and see what changes have
to be made at the various curves in
order to accommodate the new type
Of bus. The track has already been
inspected by experts and some
changes suggested.
Although it would be impossible
to give service with the ordinary
road bus in use today owe t1t shore
road tn k.eyGort, the Jus on rails
would be allie to operate !egariIess
of how congosted the traffic became
for the fact that it has its own light
Of way and the highway trainc will
not interfere with its operation. The
buses will be equipped TO make a
speed of at least t~hirty-fVe miles an
hour, which will guarantee a fast
line service between this city and
the various towns through which tire
line operates. 1t is estimated that
the operation of the buses will be
about forty per cent less than that
of the trolley cars.
AS soon as some agreement is
reached between those interested
and the holding company ;he mat
ter will be presented to the Public
Utility Commission for It's approx
al. 1t is the desire of those interested
to take over the operation Of the
road as loon as possible. In order
to maintain traffic uGtil the buses
arrive the company will continue the
trolley service.
According to Mr.. Miller today,
more than $4,000 is now available
to float the purchase of the line and
a $1,000, 900 company may be form
ed to finance the proposition.
Will Keep Present Employees
II is the intention of those back
ing the purchase of the company TO
employ many of the men now operat-
ing the trolley cars, as they know the
road and will need no breaking in.
These mel of course will be re-
quired to know something about the
operation of an automobile and pos
sibly make minor repairs, If a break
down occurs along the route.
The names of those interested in
the purchase of the line are bYing
withheld for the present, but Mr..
Miller said that they would probably
be made public within a short time.
Mr.. Miller expects to be informed as
soon as the directors meeting is
over Tomorrow the sum the COM
pany wants for the property after
which those interested will make an
offer and some purchase price prob
ably agreed upon.

CARTERET man FOUND
DEAD At WATERFRONT


CARTERET-June 28.-An un-
identified man about forty years
old, said to be Russian and found
floating in the Arthur Kill river,
near the Armour Fertilizing Works.
here this morning by two young men
who are said NO be looking for

body was first discovered.
Up to a late hour this morning
the mans name or any of his rela-
tives could not be found out, in
spite of the fact that Undertaken
Burns had searched practically the
entire borough without a single

DISORDER
IN MADISON AVE.
Chief Hints Investigation of
Police Action-Store Win
dow Broken, it is Alleged

A cleanup of Madison avenue be-
tween Smith and Market streets,
probably will be made as a result
of another disturbance on that
thoroughfare about 1910 o'clock
this morning. Chief Niels ]. Ton
nesen limited this morning that he
is investigating a complaint that
the police failed to do their duty
in connection with the trouble at
midnight last night and if he finds
same to be true charges will be
preferred.
A woman residing in the neigh
borhood called headquarters at mid
night and notified the lieutenant
at the desk that there was a fight
outside of the store Of Alex Weiss
at 263 Madison avenue. The POI
lice chauffeur was detailed and pick
ed up Officer Frank Rubaha from a
nearby beat.
When these officers arrived at the
scene, it is said, they learned that
the fight was over. Officer Aaron
~Franzblau, the officer on the beat,
was also at the scene. In the re-
port of one police officer, 1T was
made known that a window in the
Weiss establishments had been brok-
en-.
Numerous complaints have been
made by persons residing IN that
section of Madison avenue regard
ing disturbances along the block.
Only last Friday night, the police
were detailed to investigate disor-
ders in front of the Weiss place.
There is a possibility that regard
less of the police shortage at the
present time. a mar will be detailed
on that block starting tonight. Sew
eral times in the past it was nee
essary to specially detail an officer
along Madison avenue from Smith
to Market streets.
In addition to the fights along the
block, the police have received COM
plants about gatherings in front Of
the various establishments. The
noisemaking which usually occu.s
around midnight, has the residents
in that section up in arms.
