By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February "a police
guard was posted today at every
Roman Catholic church In Greater
New York. upon orders issued by
Chief Inspector Leahy.
The bluecoats were instructed to
search persons carrying suspicious
bundles from entering the churches.
and also to. prevent lettering. In
spector Leahy refused to give any
reason for the unusual action.
Mgr. Lavelle. vicar general OF the
diocese, said today the church au-
thorities had not asked police protec-
ton for the churches, and he believed
that action was spontaneous on the
part of the police department.
The sexton Of the one downtown
Catholic church said there had been a
series Of thefts from poor boxes and
candle depositaries in various Catho-
lie churches, and that the guards had
been posted in an effort to capture
the marauders.
He declared he knew OF no threats
to burn churches, such as have been
received in Canada, where more than
q dozen Catholic ediflces have been
destroyed by fire, and where. accord
ance rates on churches, schools and
religious institutions have been or
dered increased from 30 to 50 per. cent.
There have been several fires recent
ly in Catholic churches In northern

district. 1t was decided to cancel all
coal contracts with Holland, Switzer-
land and other neutral countries, it
is stated.
The mining officials agreed they
would supply only the local needs of
the Ruhr district hereafter. This
mined and unemployment be in
creased.
Police Activit. Increases.
The activity of the security police
against the French and the Belgians
is increasing. The French. it ap-
pears. are determined to put them out
OF commission and have ordered the
dissolution OF the organization, which
is composed of former non-commis-
stoned officers in the imperial army.
The Germans are making efforts to
keep the security police In activity.
DR.. GruetZner, the president of the
district, who was expelled last week
and who has established new head
quarters at Elberfeld, just on the
edge OF the occupied area, has ordered
the members of the force to stick to
their posts and regard the French
orders.
Most of the security police of whom
there are about 10000 in the Ruhr,
have been disarmed, however. and
many have doffed their uniforms.
Some are still on duty in civilian
clothes.
Hindered by Sabotage.
Cases of sabotage, chiefly along the
telephone and telegraph lines, are
continuing greatly to hinder COM
munication by the French and Bel
CLANS. The lines are guarded through
out the area. Nevertheless, wires are
being cut every night. The soldier
guards have been ordered to shoot
'on sight any individual caught in the
act of cutting wires or otherwise
committing sabotage on the lines of
communication.
One hundred and forty-four Ger
man railroad workers were enga ged
yesterday by the French authorities
at an employment bureau in Dussel-
dorf. Sixty men had been taken on
the day before. These men will all
be investigated and If found to be all
right will be employed by the French
in operating the Ruhr railroads.
They will lose their strike pay Of
fered by the Berlin government,
which is still being paid the strik ers
in the Ruhr.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-02-16
WHAT THE CITY rs GETTING

In o~nsiderng the expense to which the city is being put in the
matter of depressing the railroad tracks, has it occurred to those in
authority that after spending all the money that it will require, the
city gets only four bridges out of it, The fact that Hall avenue
already crosses the tracks on a bridge leaves only Washington
street, New Brunswick avenue, Smith street and Market street to
be benefited. When it is realized that the cny's share of the cost
At this work viii be over a half million dollars with only four cross
fnes to show for it, we cannot help but wonder whether the results
are worth price. And when we consider Washington street perched
On a bridge high above the housetops, making it difficult if not
simpossible, for some vehicles to take the grade, the citys benefits
are actua1y but three street crossings after all this money is spent.
Isn't it rather ridiculous when you think of it in that light?
The least that should be done at this time is the immediate
opening of Fayette streets and plans made for ultimately connect
ins across the tracks Gordon street, Jefferson street, Broad street.
William street to Laurie street, Easton street to Eagle avenue, and
aarretson avenue. This latter thoroughfare could easily be opened
through to Inslee street and so make a direct connection between
Amboy avenue and State street in the extreme northern end of the
city.
We realize that all this is part Of the city plan idea and would
no doubt be provided for in any COMPREHENSIVE plan for the future
development of Perth Amboy. But as the City Plan Commission
was not appointed in time to take up this grade crossing elimina-
ton matter, and as it is still very limited in its funds to carry on
10 work, we believe it is pertinent for the Evening News to point
s~esirabhity Of making such plans as are here outlined while
Ktion work in going on. At least, the city might establish
XEgFt Of way across the railroad tracks at these various streets
even if nothing is done at present to build the bridges and carry
ont the improvement,
Perth Amboy cannot continue to grow as it should with a great
excavation dug all the way across the city and with only five
bridges crossing it. And to spend over a half million dollars and
get what amounts to practically only three bridges connecting the
two parts of the city is preposterous. The aldermen should insist
on Fayette street being connected now, also that plans for connec-
ting the other streets be made so that they can be likewise de-
veloped at some future date.
It all shows the value of a city plan which is nothing more or
less than giving careful consideration to the future development
Of the city.
