BILL
u.-- -
SURE To PASS
Advanced to Third Reading in
/. Senate Measure Will Be-
come Law

TOTTENVILLE, Feb. 23:-With
the bill advanced to the third read
ing in the senate for the extension
of the Southfield boulevard from it's
present dead end at Eltingville to
Tottenville there is every chance that
the bill will pass both houses this
coming week and become a law. The
Oil which will repeal the Frerichs
bill, which made it mandatory for
the city of New York to construct
the boulevard to this end of the is
land will now empower the city to
construct the thoroughfare under
the provisions of the city charter.
The bill will be advanced to final
reading next week.
Assemblyman William l.. Vaughan
of Tottenville is looking out for the
interest of the measure in the assem-
bly, while Senator Mark Allen is
sponsoring the bill in the senate.
The Frerichs bill as passed by the
legislature in 1920 made it manda-
tory for the city to pay one-half of
the expense, the county one-quarter
and the AUDITING property owners
the other quarter. This has always
been the setback on the part of the
city to construct the boulevard in
that form and the present bill was
drafted to give the right of the city
to construct from the general funds.
With the construction of the
boulevard to Tottenville the outlet
will be at the famous old Billop
house near the new ferry at Sea
Breeze leading to South Amboy.

POLICE TOLD To
OBEY ORDERSO Of
CHIEF DONOVAN

' CARTERET, Feb. ga deter
mined stand in the appointment of
John Donovan as the new chief of
Police Of the borough of Carteret
is being taken by Mayor Thomas
J. MulvihilI and his Republican
council aides in spite of the certior-
ari action writ granted by Justice
James j. Bergen, of the supreme
court last Tuesday and issued on
the application of Henry J.. Harring-
to present indications.
The police committee and the
mayor have posted a. notice in the
borough hall advising all those in
the employ and others to take their
orders from Chief Donovan, he being
the official CHER of the police until
the court action in the police mat
ter has been concluded.
Mayor Mulvihill stated this morn
ing that the fight of former Chief
Harrington taken to court will not
change the status taken by the coun-
Gil in shifting the police heads. He
expressed confidence that the steps
taken at the last session were fully
in compliance with such legal laws
as may be required.
Meanwhile, visitors to the local
police headquarters have found two
police heads directing the force.
Both Mr.. Harrington and Mr.. Dono-
van can be seen behind the bench.
1t was learned, however, that MEM
bers of the police department have
taken orders from their superior Of
hcer, Mr.. Donovan.
There were no arrests made over
the holiday, everything is quiet
said Chief Donovan over the tele-
hone this morning. Another tele-
phone call to police headquarters a
few minutes later found Mr.. Har-
rlngton on the wire, who confirmed
that things were very quiet"
With two chiefs on duty at the
police station here, Chief Harring-
ton doing the work and Chief DON
looking on, the people of this
borough have no easy time in decid-
ing with whom TO lodge their COM
plants. Those supporting the ap-
of Donavan say that pol
tiles did not enter into the appoint
ment and prove this by pointing to
the fact that Donavan is a Demo-
crat and has always been a worker
for his party.
AS near as can be learned today,
the appointment of Donavan came
the police committee reported
that the people of the borough had
lost faith in the department as
ruled by Chief Harrington and ad-
vocated for the best interest of the
borough that a change be made.
Mr.. Donavan was then appointed to
the post. Mr.. Donavan's supporters
also point to the fact that he is the
oldest man on the force and at one
time was chief of the department.
MI. DenaVan has retained Attorney
Russell Z. Watson. of New Bruins
wick to represent him and Bor-
Attorney Emil Strem1au Is
representing the borough in the eff
to retain Mr.. Donavan as chief.
The hearing scheduled before
Thomas A. Christopher for 2 o'clock
this afternoon to take testimony in
the case has been postponed until
tomorrow.

DRY"
CLASH EDGE
Won Out in Cone Case, Again
Battles With Haynes in
Appleby Matter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Scarce-
ly had he reached home after a ten
weeks honeymoon in Europe before
Senator Walter E. Edge was forced
into another clash With Prohibition
Commissioner Roy Haynes.
When he left Washington early in
December for his marriage and trip
abroad Senator Edge had just won
out in a clash with Commissioner
Haynes by bringing about the us
miSsal of Henry Cone, chief of en-
forcement agents in New Jersey,
whose enforcement methods had
thrown the northern part of the state
into uproar.
Senator Edge returned from
abroad determined not to seek a
clash with Haynes, and to take
plenty of time to decide what he
would do about appointment of a
state director for New Jersey before
again taking this troublesome ques-
ton up with the prohibition COM
missioner.
But fate ruled otherwise, and just
three days after his return Senator
Edge was compelled to defend the
fair name of his home town, Allan
tic City. and call upon Commissioner
Haynes to have John Appleby, the
prohibition director for northern
New Jersey and New York appear
before the Atlantic City grand jury
today to substantiate or retract SER
ious charges he has made against the
officials and business men of that re-
sort.
Should Appleby fail to prove the
serious charges he has made it is
very probable that Senator Edge will
either demand his dismissal from
the service or his removal as direc-
tor for northern New Jersey.
Senator Edge is very firm in his
belief that men can be found in New
Jersey quite capable of enforcing the
prohibition laws in the state and
holds that it is unnecessary to bring
in from other states men like Apple
by who is enforcing the Volstead law
in the northern part of New Jersey,
and Hazeltine, from Oregon, recent
ly appointed to suppress the flow of
liquor in South Jersey.
He expressed himself quite forcibly
on this point as soon as he reached
Washington Monday and found that
another switch had been made in
enforcement officers and that a man
had been brought all the way from
Oregon to make J~erseyites obey the
law.
Senator Edge is going very care
fully into an investigation of this
matter and may soon insist that New
Jersey men be appointed to enforce
the eighteenth amendment in New
Jersey instead of complete strangers.
If Appleby fails to prove the charges
he has made against Atlantic City
officials and business men that will
prove a strong point for Senator
Edges insistence that he be replaced
by a Jerseyite.
The ordering of Appleby to Allan
tic City to appear before the grand
jury Friday grows out of the charges
he recently made that Atlantic City
is rotten to the core and that promi-
nent business men have been trapped
in ~disorderly houses there and shak-
down for large sums of money.
Appleby had sworn vengeance
against the seashore resort a few
days before when the Atlantic City
police refused to allow him to have
his way about interviewing Mrs.
Pearl Young, a supposed enforce
ment operative, who was in jail on
charges of extortion.

NEW BILL Of
RIGHTS URGED
BY Ex-Director Dawes, in Ad-
dress Given Last Night
at Chicago

CHICAGO, Feb. % (By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-A current era Of
increased congressional demage-
euey in utterance, Haunting of rad
zeal doctrines, pardoning of men
convicted of treason and melting Of
.lawless action by the wieldy power
of certain leaders" was Mr.. Az
erage Citizens panoramic as pic
tured by Charles G. Dawes. former
director of the national budget, in
an address before the Union League
Club tonight.
Mentioning no save a trih-
ute to "our great, strong and de-
termining President Harding Mr..
Dawes said:
THE average American citizen
has witnessed the pardoning Of men
convicted of treason against their
government in time of war done
with the apparent purpose of car
rying political favor with the dis
reputable elements of our popula-
ton.
Here in Chicago he has seen a
mayor elected upon a Republican
ticket announce a platform which
would do credit to soviet Russia
and seek to force it through a Re
publican state convention.
In congress he has witnessed IN
the last few years more demago-
query in utterance than ever before
has characterized it.
He has witnessed a newly elect
ed senator rush into the senate de-
bates with the radical ,inf1ammatory
and untrue statements.
He was shocked by the human
beasts at Herrin and the lawless
acts at Harrison. Ark.
I'VE have seen tremendous power
welded by certain labor leaders
who understand mob psychology
and the influence of radicals who
lead masses of people to lawlees
action
Mr.. Average Citizen is demand
ing a new bill of rights, Mr.. Dawes
declared, because the power of or
ganized minorities has become IS
dangerous to the liberty of the indi-
viduals as ever was the power of
a prince"
HE who reasons that a halt to
weakness in law enforcement and
demogoguery is not about to be call
ed and that conditions will become
worse little understands the Amer
lean people. Some progress has
been made-that from the Adamsca
law to the Daugherty injunction,
which in my judgment, future ger
.erations will regard as the begin
ming of q new era of law and order.
Through it our government an
nounces the right of a man to work
is as sacred as the right of a mar
to stop work"
