MEET TUESDAY
ON SHIP CANAL
Invitations Sent to 400 Ask
ing Them to Attend Meet
ing At Trenton
DISCUSS RIGHT OF WAY
Perth Amboy and Vicinity Ex-
pected to be Well RepreS-
Sented Tuesday

TRENTON, Sept. S-About four
hundred invitations have been issued
by the Board of Commerce and
Navigation for a conference to be
held here at the state house next
Tuesday for the purpose of dis
cussing the best method of acquiring
the right of way across the state for
the proposed ship canal from Bor-
dentown, in Burlington county, to
Morgan, in Middlesex. The meet
ing will open at o'clock in the af-
ternoon, daylight saving time, and
will be held in the assembly cham
ber.
All persons interested have been
asked to attend the session which
will be public. 1t Is expected that
Mayor J. Hampton Moore of Phil
adelphia, who is a leading water
ways advocate in the east, will at
tend and speak, as will also Mayor
Victor King of Camden, and Mayor
Frederick w. Donnelly, Of Trenton,
both of whom are also greatly in
terested in waterways
All property owners and officials
OF municipalities along the line of
the proposed canal have been ask
ed to attend. Governor Silzer has
been asked to be present. also. II
his other duties will not Interfere.
The chief executive sometime ago,
it will be recalled, suggested that
it would be fitting thing if the
people living along the canal route
would donate that portion of their
respective properties needed by the
state for the project.
However, at the last session of
the legislature a law was enacted
providing that the 100000, which
the state is to get from the settle-
ment of the Morris canal abandon
ment project, should be used to buy
the right of way across the state for
the ship canal. If the property own
ers donated their land, as the gov
ernor suggested, there would be no
need for the use of the 100000,
which could then be devoted 10
other state purposes. Inasmuch as
each property owner living along
the route of the canal would profit
bv the increased valuation of his
holding when the route was cut out,
ii was the thought of Mr.. Silzer that
they might be willing to give their
respective portions of the needed
right of way to bring this about.
If this is not done and 1t remains
to use the 100000 from the Morris
Canal settlement, it appears now
that the boosters of the ship canal
may have to wait for five years, in
asmuch as but $1SO,000 of the set
tlement money due the state is in the
treasury. Under the terms by which
the Morris canal agreement was
reached the 100000 is to be paid
in five annual installm0lts with in
terest and the money ia hand now
represents the first of the five pay
ments.
The plan for the creation of the
ship canal provides that as soon as
New Jersey acquires the right OF
way for it's route, the federal govern
ment will provide the funds to dig it..
Speedy acquiring of the necessary
property is the first essential action.
The specifications for the canal pro-
vide for right of way of 1000 feet,
which is to include banks and ap-
proaches, so that manufacturing
plants may have facilities along its
line, At the bottom the stream is to
be 200 feet wide.

POLICE BUREAU
Plan to Establish Relations
Between Governments to
Run Down Criminals

VIENNA, Sept. Establishment
of an international criminal police
commission in Vienna to pave the
way for the creation of an inter-
national police bureau in all prin-
cipal countries of the world was de-
cided upon at the closing session of
the International Police Congress to-
day.
1t was agreed thaat Vienna shall
be the seat of all future police con-
.gresses and that English, French,
and German shall be the official
languages for police inter-com-
munication.
Resolutions were adopted by the
congress pledging the various coun-
tries to communicate to each other
the names of moving picture films
and books which are refused lic-
enses in their respective countries,
and the adoption of Haakon Jorgen-
sens system of long distance identi-
fication of criminals.
Subject to the action of their gov
ernments, the police officers agreed
to discontinue diplomatic channels
and use the supreme courts in the
extradition of prisoners. The con-
gress urged free postal and tele-
graphic communication between the
police authorities in their official
work.
Samuel G. Beldon, deputy chief in
spector of New York, assured the
European police chiefs that the
United States was ready to coop
crate to aid Europe in the fight
against international criminals. He
extended to the delegates an in
vitation from Police Commissioner
Enright of New York to attend the
American Police Congress in 1925.
