CHANNEL.URGED
Petitions viii be Circulated
Throughout City Advoca-
ting Work Being Done.

In order to obtain an expression of
opinion from the citizens of the city
to be submitted to the Board of
Commerce and Navigation of New
Jersey to have this body work for
the deepening of the Raritan river
from the Great Beds light at a point
400 feet above the Central railroad
bridge, petitions will be placed in
circulation this week in the various
wards of the city.
The wording on the petition fol-
lows:
I'VE, the undersigned, residents of
Perth Amboy, do hereby petition the
Board of Commerce and Navigation
of New Jersey to use its best en-
deavors in behalf of the deepening
of the channel of the Raritan river
between Perth Amboy and South
Amboy to 80 feet in accord with the
recommendation of the district engi-
neer."
For some weeks, it has been a
question whether a greater express
sion of opinion could be obtained for
the Board of Rivers & Harbors by a
public meeting or by petitions. In
view of the fact that but few hun
dred persons have attended water
way meetings held here in the past,
it was finally decided to issue the
petitions. Another scheme discussed
is that of having a coupon printed
in the Evening News, which people
will be requested to sign and return
to the Evening News stating their
views on the deepening of the river.
This matter, it was said today by
Oliver H. Hatfield, secretary of the
Industrial Association, who is work
ing with the Raritan Terminal &c
Waterways Association, may be
taken up at a later date.
1t is suggested that the petitions
which are now ready for circulation
be placed in the hands of the mayor
and aldermen and distributed in the
business places in the various wards,
the proprietors of the establishments
being requested to obtain signatures.
1t is the belief of those backing the
campaign for the deepening of this
local waterway that the voice of the
people may have the desired effect
in obtaining the improvement.

LangWeber Dies From
Stray Bullet Wound

his death last night, friends of the
man from this city, remained at the
Newark hospital. Langweber was
well known here, having conducted
butter and cheese store on lower
Smith street and in one of the splall
stores of the Raritan building, and
shortly after his entrance into the
milk business, he gained great pom
inence in the bomb plot" case.
A bomb was placed in his wagon
by Pete Weiner one morning while
Langweber was making a delivery.
The bomb failed to explode but We'll
ner was arrested and found guilty.
He was not sentenced because the
offense was blamed on the higher
ups" in the milk ring" in this city.
Langweber bought his milk outside
of the ring" and sold 1t one cent
cheaper than a majority of the milk
dealers in this vicinity.
Prepare for Return
| Undertaken James j. Flynn, ac-
friends of the dead man to Newark
this morning. They expect to bring
Langweber's body back to this city
early this afternoon.
The deceased is survived by wife
and two children, a girl and a boy.
Langweber recently moved from New
street to High street, having pur-
chased a house on the latter street.

Coroner Miningham in a state
ment following this mornings au-
topsy, announced that the autopsy
showed the bullet entered the left
side of the abdomen and passed
through the liver, stomach and dia-
phragm. The causes of death were
shock and a hemorrhage, the cor
oner made known and he also de-
clared, that the bullet was extracted
from beneath the skin of the back
on level with the twelfth rib by an
operation at the hospital.
1t is said the Newark police are
making an investigation of the case.

week of the opening month, elabor-
ate exercises will dedicate the build
ing which will be a Jewish commu-
nifty center. Dinners will be held
during the campaign which will be
a wide one and cover this city and
all surrounding towns. Several

ishing touches.
Delegation Visits New Building
A committee representing the
Wilmington, Delaware Y. NJ. H. A..
paid this city a visit yesterday with
the express purpose of inspecting
the new community home here and
take home with them some new
ideas for their propose\ building in
the Delaware capital. The commit
tee consisted of DIR. l. X. Kreshtoll
and Max Keil. two prominent VIII
mington business men. They were
accompanied and shown through the
building by the general contractor
and A. A. Finkelstein, the general
secretary. The edifice was a revela-
ton to the visitors and was far more
than they expected to see.
The delegation inspected the au-
ditorium and gymnasium. The
swimming pool which is at present
filed with water, came in for a good
deal of praise while the roof garden
was also considered appropriate.
The local building is ranked as be-
ing one of the finest in the country
considering the population of the
city.

George Gathers, of New
Brunswick, Seeks Nomina-
tion on Democratic Ticket

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 2S:-
George Gathers ,of this city, has an
nounced his candidacy for the NOM
ination of sheriff. Petitions have
alread. been placed in circulation
and it is reported that they are be-
ing literally signed
: Mr.. Gathers is widely known
throughout the county and has al
ways been a party woSker. During
1908 Mr.. Gathers helped form the
Middlesex County Democratic Club
which gave a series of dinners and
other affairs and brought new life
to the county organization. Mr..
Gathers is a business man, being en-
gagged in the motor car and real es-
tate business in this city. For a
number of years he was connected
with the silk firm of Block, Gathers
and Block, in New York City.
Mr.. Gathers who intends to make
IA hot campaign for the nomination
had the following to say today in
connection with his entrance into the
contest for the sheriff nomination.
In the spring the newspapers
stated that had been selected as a
CiHuludle lOT SI6rlII OIL hlluuleSeA
county by those of my party who
were interested in my success. My
name was placed this early before
the public in order to give the vot-
ers of the county an opportunity to
look into my record and qualifica-
tions for the office,
From that time have been de-
lightedly surprised to find so many
people offering me their support and
encouragement. From what have
learned in going about the cAunty
and interviewing members of my
party, leads me to believe that per-
haps my time for party considera-
tion has arrived.
"It long has been the custom of
both parties to place IN nomination
for such office only men who have
been of service to the party and who
are qualified to handle the work of
so important a position and have
proved by such service and record
that they are deserving and worthy
of party support. NY friends saw
that my twenty-eight years of party
work and my quali6 ,ations justify
my candidacy

SAYS
LAW IS SUPREME
His Message to Press of
Country Through Southern
Publishers Association

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2s.-Un-
divided allegiance to the constitu.
ton and unhesitating obedience tc
legislative action. were urged upon
the press of the nation by President
Coolidge in a letter to A. G. New
myer. president of the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association,
made public here today.
The Presidents letter was in re-
ply to one written by Mr.. Newmyer,
who asked the executive to send him
a terse, exclusive message for the
southern publishers, broadly ans
wering the question as to how the
newspapers can best serve the fed
eral government at this time, as he
was personally anxious to have the
membership of the association CO.
operate with the administration in
every manner consistent with their
individual policies.
The letter to Mr.. Newmyer. who
also is an official of the New Or
leans Item, follows:
My dear Mr.. Newmyer:
Your very kind message and the
general assurances which it contains,
of support on the part of the news
papers of your association, has been
received. Every newspaper can be
very helpful in its support of the
government, whether it be state or
national. Fundamentally this means
always making the authority of the
law supreme. 1t means undivided
allegiance TO the constitution and un-
hesitating obedience to legislative ac-
ton made in accordance with its
provisions.
Constructive criticism is always
helpful. 1t keeps institutions from
becoming fossilized and falling into
decay. But constructive criticism
does not accomplish its purpose
merely by pointing out what is evil
It must not fail TO direct attention
with more emphasis, TO what is good
Our institutions, our social organiza-
tion, our economic condition are all
of quality and quantity which are
worthy of our highest admiration.
believe that it will be exceedingly
helpful to public sentiment If these
principles and ideals. can be reiter-
ated from time to time, Joined with
a reverence for religion and an as
piration for better things.
Very truly yours.

Answering Baldwin Note
ATTACK GERMAN ATTITUDE
Passive Resistance Must Stop
Before Policy in Occupied
Territory is Changed

PARIS, Aug. 2S.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The Belgian govern
ment in its reply to the last British
reparations note, stands with France
on the principal points of conten-
ton, maintaining that the legality OF
the Ruhr occupation has been estab-
lished by the previous action of the
allies including Great Britain, and
that evacuation of the Ruhr valley
is impossible on simple promises
from Germany.
The reply. given out at the Bel
gian embassy here this morning,
dwells particularly upon the justice
of Belgiums claim to priority in rep
aration payments. It HQinss out that
thus far Belgium has received only
two million gold marks mora than
Great Britain.
Foreign Minister Jaspar asserts
that ''the whole problem of repair
ations and the question of inter- al
lied debts are definitely bound to-
gether" and he proposes new
methId of procedure in the nego-
tiatsons, suggesting conversations
amongst tke allies without reverting
to the DID system of conferences"
NJ. Jaspar remarks that IL re-
duction in Gsrmary's debt is aeces-
sary, the balance she is obliged tc
pay ought to apply to materia
damages only. This might be under.
stood as meaning the elimination oi
pensions from the Allied claims or
Germany. thus reducing the British
share to an infinitesimal percentage
The Runr lcgiIne, tile note says

1t to be. The occupation will be mod
iled whenever the German people
make such a step possible by aban-
doning their present attitude.
